[It's the big Shockwave! Leaning up against what looks like the Driller - if you've ever seen the creature. If you haven't seen the creature before. Well. That sure is a big metal worm thing. But Shockwave rarely ever makes a post to the Link, so this must be important. Most likely.]

As it has been some time, and we have been loosing and gaining people, this announcement once again has value.

Those of you with Megatronus' glyph, you will report to me to organize an appropriate time for your skills to be assessed. Your fighting skills are to be evaluated, as per request from Megatronus Prime. It will be a timed evaluation, and everything you say and do will be attributed to your final score. Refusing and attempting to avoid this will also affect your score.

If you have previously taken this test, you may disregard this.



...

Additionally, I will be unavailable within a few solar cycles and will require someone to watch the Driller. If anyone feels they are up to the task.

No.

[deadlydoctor]

Does the Driller really listen to others?

[megaton]

I'd be willing.

[To watch the Driller, that is. He's been missing Cerberus, and even if the Driller proves unruly it will at least be fun.]

As to the fight...[He laughs.] I will spar with you any time you ask, but I refuse to have the results be submitted to anyone.

If he desires to test my skills again, he can come meet me in the ring.

[rednotbluethx]

Awright! I'm all ready to kick some aft!

[The frag are you, and what the slag is this?]

... Why?

[He's not particularly inclined to listen, and is right not drifting aimlessly through the air, somehow managing to look nonchalant. Sure, he might say he will if Shockwave pressures and he feels he has to, but that doesn't mean he actually will.

Because Shockwave isn't anywhere near where he is, and after the conversation is over, it's easy to forget.]

It is not optional.

[noparachutes]

No. I never said it did.

[noparachutes]

Would you? And what makes you think you are capable?


And that is something you will have to take up with him, Megatron. However, I would not be opposed to a fight that does not require assessment.

[video]

[noparachutes]

...You will be fighting the Driller.

[He doesn't want to break you by accident.]

[Video]

[noparachutes]

Because it is not an optional test.

[arnhaid]

I don't answer to you.

[redshirtrobot]

I could help look after the Driller if you wanted. Not all of the time, obviously, but...

[You know.]

audio;

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Why should me?

[deadlydoctor]

Then how you expect someone else to watch after it properly? It will do whatever it pleases.

[warp]

Says--- [Wait. He's not quite that stupid, because it was said right there in the message. Skywarp grimaces, and a static sigh of annoyance burst underneath his agreement.]

Fine. Whenever y'want, then.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Wha!? C'mon! Why can't I take you on, one-eye?

audio;

[noparachutes]

You will comply or you will be tracked down.

[noparachutes]

Precisely why I asked for someone who is up to the task.

[Someone not like you, Knock Out.]

[video]

[noparachutes]

[Because he's still getting used to his new strength, and the last thing he needs is to break someone in half.]

If you are capable of defeating the Driller, I will consider it.

[Video]

[noparachutes]

Tomorrow is acceptable.

video;

[noparachutes]

Considering your current standing with it, I would appreciate that.

audio;

[noparachutes]

it is not an optional test. Coming on your own means I do not have to drag you to the arena.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Did you miss the part where I don't answer to you?

[deadlydoctor]

I already pity them. [He's not going near to that thing. Ever.]

[redshirtrobot]

Of course. I think it likes me well enough, and... it's been pretty nice to me.
