[staresat]

The Lambda has provided an opportunity to expand the planet's fauna.

[One claw click later, and a brief span of CNA is shown onscreen. Nothing that could definitely identify the species, but it was definitely of Cybertonian origin. Now where did he get that?]

Interested third parties are welcome to observe it's analysis and development.

[After he goes through a careful background check, of course. His science kids are automatically allowed to his little endeavor in (possibly) cloning something Cybertronian.]

[Of course, would you want to invite yourself to be alone with Shockwave?]

Comments

[4_toteachus]

I want to watch!

Can I invite someone along?

[staresat]

[hi four]

Who else will be accompanying you?

[4_toteachus]

I haven't asked him yet, but his name is Crow.

He's interesting, I want to see what's inside of him. Do you mind opening him up for me?

[staresat]

[Oh.]

[A new find.]

That will not be a problem.

[4_toteachus]

Oh good!

I just want to see what his power source is.

You can put him back together afterwards, right?

private whoops (lets pretend this convo was locked)

[staresat]

I doubt your companion will be beyond the capacity to repair.

[There's always the smallest chance... But this is Shockwave we're talking about.]

private (Whoops my bad)

[4_toteachus]

That's a relief.

I'd rather not be responsible for murder...

[staresat]

[Murder? Oh don't be silly!]

You needn't concern yourself with the procedure itself, unless you'd like the details explained.

[4_toteachus]

No, I want the details. I always want the details.

I'll bring him to you when I can then.




Uh, Shockwave, mind if I tell you something?

[staresat]

[There's an inquisitive tilt of the helm.]

?

[4_toteachus]

Well.

I just wanted to say that I

Like you.

[staresat]

[His antennae twitch in thought, largely because Shockwave isn't.. entirely sure how to handle 'I like you'.]


[Hm.]


I see.

[That's as close to an 'I like you too' that Shockwave is going to give.]

[4_toteachus]

[That's all she needs, as far as Four's concerned.]

I like being around you.

I learn a lot, and information is always good.

Thanks for letting me hang around.

[staresat]

[Ah.]

[Yes.]

Your observations are likewise valuable.

[That's Shockwave for: 'you're welcome to be around him in the future.']

[4_toteachus]

<3

I'll be around in a bit, don't start the experiments without me!

[raceme]

The lambda...?

Shouldn't we let the fauna to appear naturally?

[staresat]

Most of the natural fauna are the monsters that emerge from the Badlands.

[That's a wholehearted No.]

[raceme]

Alright, you do have a point.

What exactly are you making?

locked

[deadlydoctor]

Wouldn't that be Predacon's CNA, by any chance?

locked

[staresat]

I see you've familiarized yourself while you were... unconscious.

[of course he knows. because he knows what you know. thanks, cortical psychic patch]

locked

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out makes a wry face.]

'Familiarized' is a word for it. Are you going to start working on clones then?

[You still owe him a drink for that, mate.]

audio;

[sciencetank]

Expand the planet's fauna ... to what extent?

audio;

[staresat]

An addition of another species, should the process be successful.

[Bring some snacks if you plan on coming, Percy.]

audio;

[sciencetank]

Any particular theories as to what sort of species?

audio;

[staresat]

It shows a stark similarity to ancient creatures back on the Cybertron I am familiar with, but I cannot be certain until more analysis is done.

audio;

[sciencetank]

Ancient creatures...

I suppose this means they have yet to manifest themselves on this Cybertron, ancient though it claims to be.

[staresat]

Indeed. At least in any recognizable form.

[Autobot and Decepticon, having a calm conversation about science. +1 to peace.]

[sciencetank]

[Dammit, why does Science always come first.]

Though, theoretically, it could exist, given how the majority of this planet remains largely unexplored.

[Private]

[deceptionshark]

I take it that your experiments are coming along slowly then.

[Which causes SOME displeasure, as he's impatient to get the upper hand when he can. Still, their resources are limited.]

[Private]

[staresat]

[There's an affirmative nod. Can't rush science, man. ]

Indeed. I can provide more frequent updates, but the changes will be negligible.

[Private]

[deceptionshark]

I see.

How long would it take to create a beast with the resources you have now?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Might need someone with depth perception.

[staresat]

[ RUDE! ]

My optical sensor functions as is.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

[Thaaaaaat's Crow.]

Your inflection functions as is too.

So, do you function as a traffic light on the side?

[staresat]

No.

[His hand begins to hover over the 'end call' button. Wow, tough crowd!]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

[Jeeze, some people don't have a sense of humor.]

Relax, I'm not selling ya anything.

I just wanna know, does this planet have acid-spitting aliens?

[headcollector]

You! What are you up to now?

1/2

[staresat]

[!!!!!!]



[Oh.]

2/2

[staresat]

[Hi~]

[He missed you.]

Contributing to the scientific community.

[headcollector]

[ He looks at that thing in the background. Yep, that doesn't look too good. ]

More monsters.

[staresat]

[He tilts his head inquisitively.]

Only rudimentary strands of CNA. I don't imagine the sequence will make much sense to you.

[headcollector]

Don't need to to know it should be destroyed.

[ Doing well with the speech today! ]

You should start counting down.

[staresat]

[He could fix that speech thing for you if you'd just let him complete his work.]

I imagine it will only be a matter of time before you find my location.

Appropriate that you find your way back to where you should be.

[headcollector]

[ He likes speaking sentences ok. ]

Should be only to slag you, like I should have ages ago.

[noparachutes]

[Well Shockwave, you've certainly intrigued Shockwave. And the Driller.]

And what kind of fauna would that be?

private

[staresat]

[Hi Shockwave.]

Analysis confirms that my sample is startlingly similar to Predacon CNA. Large, ancient creatures located back on my world.

[You seem to have a thing for large creatures.]

private

[noparachutes]

[Well he is rather huge himself, so large and fascinating creatures seemed to be quite useful to him.]

I would like to hear more on them, if you are willing to share.

[Video]

[angleofscience]

[Jetfire takes a moment to study the displayed string and it's... interesting. He can, of course, tell it's cybertronian, but something is off enough it's hard to determine what sort of cybertronian data it is, beyond that.

Though Shockwave's comment is of some assistance, but the cybertronian fauna he knows would not possess genetic data.]

... Interesting. Given your comment, it sounds like it ought to be genetic data as contained in energy signatures, but it's... er, somewhat different from what I'm used to..?

[treacherous_widow]

[A quick glance at the screen was all Blackarachnia needed to become interested.]

Expand the planets fauna how?
