Audio [Transmission Originating From: Solus's Temple]

[Fracas has been absent for a quite a while. Really, less absent, more... asleep. If nothing else, it's kept him out of trouble. He slowly sits up with a groan, looking around. What. What did he just get back from, even? Or... remember?

Oh. Oh.

He turns on his communicator. Audio-only for now; he's not really feeling up to video.]

I need to see a medic, if one's available. Not. Not Knock Out.

[And briefly, Fracas sounds almost angry.]

But I do need to speak to him.

... Could someone tell me what I've missed, while I'm at it?

[redshirtrobot]

You're better off, believe me.

Yeah. Supposedly they were trying to impress Lord Megatron. I'm sure they got his attention if nothing else.

[treacherous_widow]

...Uh huh.

[Too late, she's curious about the possibilities of different types of energon now.]

If they destroyed your Megatron's troops as much as you say, that definitely got his attention and probably not in a good way. I might feel sorry for Knock Out.

[Maybe. Probably not.]

So exactly what did these "super-zombies" do anyway?

[redshirtrobot]

[That always seems to happen and it only ends in zombies and Skids on steroids.]

Hmph. I don't. He earned any reprisal he gets. Starscream too.

... they drained the energon out of anyone they could get their claws on, and turned them into another one exactly like them. The normal ones would just rip you into pieces and move on.

[...]

How do you know what regular zombies do? I'm beginning to sense a theme here.

[Though she hardly seems to be phased by a bot drinking another bots Energon. Pit, she could do that if she wished. She WAS a spider after all. Playing and draining small animals of their own fluids was a perverse pleasure of hers.]

I never met any of them before now, but... I heard stories. Vehicons talk and I listen.

[The chain of gossip among the Vehicons is long, fast, and mostly accurate. The only one that knows more than them is Soundwave and that's because he knows everything.]

[treacherous_widow]

Huh. Guess gossip is one way to learn things.

[redshirtrobot]

It's the best way to keep up with the officers on the ship. And there's a lot of Vehicons, so information spreads quickly. It's one of the few things Vehicons are really good at.

[treacherous_widow]

Oh? Are there any other things Vehicons really good at?

[redshirtrobot]

Not particularly. Vehicons generally aren't trained well enough to be much good in a fight... They run all the day-to-day operations on Megatron's warship, though.
