[Audio]
[An audio feed starts with the sound of scuffling, probably jostled into turning on. An unknown voice is heard, then Thundercracker's.]
N-no, what are you doing!? GET AWAY FROM ME!
Hold still, you fragging glitch. It'll hurt less.
HOLD STILL!? You're going to shoot me!
Yes, I am. Before you go insane and do worse to others. [There's a cold matter-of-fact tone to his voice, though no real maliciousness. Just a determination that brooks no argument.]
I-I won't-...you can't-...I WON'T LET YOU!
[The sounds of struggle renew, doubled in effort, until there's the sharp rapport of a rifle and howls of pain. The screams cease abruptly at the second and third cracks of rifle fire.]
...I told you to hold still, you glitch. [Then he growls.] Fragging comm.
[The feed ends.]
((ooc: I'm assuming there are more Glyphless around than the event PC's. This is just a nameless NPC Glyphless, no one in particular. Just that TC's out "helping" with the problem, Decepticon-style. At least he's trying to be somewhat humane about it?))
[Audio]
[Audio]
Blurr.
I don't know. One of the Glyphless.
[As if that makes it okay (in his mind, it does).]
Where are you? How are you faring?
[Audio]
[Blurr sounds tired, downhearted.]
I'm...alive. Busy here and there it's hard for me to tell you my exact location I am moving really quickly now.
[Audio]
[He's getting tired too. And it does dismay him to be taking so many innocent lives - innocent of what they're currently doing or will do anyway - but as he sees no other way of it, he sees no reason to be overly upset either.]
Understood. If you need back-up, though, call me. I can be to your position in minutes, regardless of where you are.
Re: [Audio]
I know that you can match me. IT'S great to know someone can.
[Audio]
[He hopes Blurr didn't think he was just trying to tout himself.]
That's not- . . . I'm just saying, no matter how remote you are, don't try to take it all by yourself, not if it's too much.
Re: [Audio]
HA...thank you I WILL keep that in mind, I promise. YOU should stop and refuel from time to time too.
[Audio]
[He grimaces, about to insist that he's fine . . . but then he sighs and nods.]
I will. Soon. You too.
[Audio]
[Short and to the point.]
[Audio -- > Video]
I have no idea . . . but I'll keep working until everyone's dealt with.
[Is that a hint of exhaustion? No, of course not, he's just been busy.]
[He thinks he recognizes the voice, though he can't place it. He'll switch to video, hoping the other does the same, and he makes sure his Glyph is visible to the camera.]
I don't think we've met. I'm Thundercracker.
[Video]
004. I'm with the police force. I might be able to help.
[Video]
[Thundercracker nods.]
I'd say 'well met' but these aren't exactly the circumstances for it.
What's your fighting capability? If you think you can keep up, I won't turn down back-up.
[He doesn't mean to sound arrogant or dismissive. Just...well...]
[Video]
[There's no real way to sugar coat that.]
Plus I can at least put up more a fight than a non-modified civilian.
[Video]
[He can't really help that his optics brighten some in surprise. Or that he really only focuses on one part of all of that, at least initially.]
Organics can get modifications?
[He didn't think that was possible. Okay, now you've really gotten his
attention. Because . . . just what.]
[Video]
It wasn't my idea, trust me.
[Video]
[That gets a frown from the Decepticon.]
Experimented on against your will or something?
[Video]
There could have been another way.
[Oh, he's heard the talk of everyone going crazy. He's seen the comm feeds. But that doesn't mean hearing someone begging for their life and being murdered regardless doesn't still infuriate him whether or not he understands the reason for what was done on a superficial level.]
How do you know he was going to turn out like the others? Who gave you the right??? [He's doing his best to keep his voice as level as possible. And failing miserably. He's terrible at keeping his anger in check.]
[Video] *waves* Sorry for the late reply! =3
[Thundercracker looks at his comm at the voice. Hmn. Another human.
Okay, not really, NOWHERE NEAR but he doesn't know that.It's one he vaguely recognizes, having seen him over the network once or twice.]There was another way. He'd already refused that too. I suppose I could have left him to wreck his havoc. Maybe harmed or killed someone you care about.
[He gives the feed a flat stare.]
Between how others, far too many others, have been turning and what the First-Forged and their Acolytes have been telling each and every one of us from the day we arrived, I think I can say that I know. And I don't need you or anyone else to tell me I have no right to defend myself and others against those who will become a problem.
If it'd make you feel better, consider it a mercy killing. I'm sure you've heard some of the others begging for death because of the insanity they could feel taking them over. Should that ever happen to me, I'd hope someone would just put a rifle to my spark chamber rather than be "nice" and try to "spare" me looking for impossible cure while I slowly lose my mind . . . fully aware of it the whole time. This fragger was already showing signs of that insanity. Trust me, I did him and everyone else a favor.
