[Audio/Locked from Tarn]

[Ambulon's voice is very grave.]

I will just be quick about this.

Does anyone know what a "wikireader" is, and how it works? What is its purpose? Can it possibly be used as a weapon?

[ooc: Yes, permission granted from Tarn-mun for Ambulon to have FOUND TARN'S WIKIREADER GIFT.]

Sounds like something that reads Wikipedia or other online Terran encyclopedias.

But if you think he'll somehow weaponize his newfound knowledge of Lolcats or the history of breadmaking...

I've never heard of such a device... but if you'd like me to examine it, I'd be more than happy to do so.

[deadlydoctor]

It's a human device that allows you to read entries form an online encyclopedia. [LOOK, he's being nice for once!]

Oh yes...it's a terrifying weapon if you don't like reading.

[vandalization]

Uhhh. Not sure. Sounds like something from Earth honestly.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I... see. Is it only filled with entries on useless information?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I'm not sure. I haven't switched the device on. I'd rather know exactly what it is before I turned it on. Though I may come to you for that.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Aw, bless! READING IS A WEAPON!]

If it's like an encyclopedia, does it cover articles on things such as... weapon assembly, maybe?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Right. I think it is. It's... [pause] It's Tarn's, you see. And I'm trying to figure out... figure out why he'd receive such a gift. What power it holds. If it's an encyclopedia, what sort of information is he looking for? Could it provide... [He just trails off.] I'd activate it myself, but I think I'll wait until more information comes to light.

[vandalization]

Tarn? Who...?

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

If he really dug he might be able t'figure out construction of human firearms, not that it'd do much good unless he knows where to aim on Cybertronians. It's not like he c'n access The Anarchist's Cookbook or something.

Perhaps if you bludgeon someone with it.

Obvious not here, but excuse me, sir. You seem to have a coaster meant for him.

[songofmypeople]

[Give it]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Oh, right! No one must have filled you in, uh, probably because that'd be ill timing.]

Just a rather violent Decepticon.

[vandalization]

OH... Drift told me about him once- damn it. My head is so messed up. God.

Well. I could take a look if you wanted, Ambles.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

If it contains human knowledge, it's... still iffy. There are alternate versions of the planet Earth. The information in this "wikireader" may contain information unknown to one Earth. If you see what I mean.

[He takes a moment to just stare at it.] I'm... still debating turning it on. [WHAT IF IT BLOWS UP]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I wouldn't mind having you look it over, once I've determined it's safe.

Yet, the temptation is... [scoff] No. Best to run it by someone first.

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I doubt that'll be very much help. But one point for creativity.

He accidentally stepped on it.

[sciencetank]

I've some containment devices I've wanted to try out. If you're amenable, I would be more than willing to use this device as their trial run.

He'll accidentally step on you. To death.

[songofmypeople]

[vandalization]

Okay well-

Huhm? What do you mean?

[deadlydoctor]

[You seem a bit paranoid, Ambulon.]

I guess, but I don't know how much into detail it goes. Anyway, pretty much everyone here knows about weapon assembly already.

[audio]

[namesnotprowl]

... Would you prefer if someone else turned it on? 'Cause I could do it.

[He's hardly afraid of human tech, sabot rounds or no.]

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You did ask if it could be used as a weapon ...

Question: If Ambulon slaps you, is that technically a kick?
