[Video] [Transmission from: Solian Sector] - Eighth Offense

[Barricade seems to be in a slightly better mood than the last time he was on-screen. In fact, he looks rather pleased. Like a cat that finally managed to catch their owner's goldfish without being noticed.]

So. 'Bout a month ago, I was diggin' around in the Junk Pile and I found something from my world. Something big.

[He shifts, letting the video shift with him and that... that is a ship. It's got a lot of carbon scoring and bullet scars on it, but other than that, it's not in completely terrible shape. Barricade pats one of the rotating turrets on it.]

Been working on the poor thing as much as I can, and I think I've got her flight-ready finally. I was just wonderin'...

[He grins widely.]

Anyone want t'go on a test flight with me?

[Locked to Skids]

As I recall, I owe you a demonstration of a certain pair of appendages, and this seems like a perfect opportunity.

If you're up for it, that is.

And what purpose would that serve?

[That right there sounds like a Really Bad Idea, and Red Alert likes avoiding Really Bad Ideas. In fact, her job is to patch up bots who think it's fun to do Really Bad Ideas. No way she's becoming a part of that.]

Actions speak louder than words, so if the best way t'convince you that I'm not a flying hazard is to show you directly...

[Besides, he's in a slightly giddy mood about being able to fly again. He's going to try to get as many people to fly with him as possible because he is a big, silly show-off."

...

[Nope, still a bad idea.

Still, he's going to fly it anyway, and by the looks of it he's going to be taking others along with him.

So there's only one thing for her to do.]

Fine. But only if you take me first.

[At the very least she can inspect it before he takes others on pointless joyrides.]

Fair enough. But be warned that you're gonna be on the first test run. Might be a few kinks that need t'be worked out after.

[The joyrides aren't entirely pointless, after all. He just happens to like ~~showing off to everyone~~ having company for these sorts of things. Mostly.]

I understand.

[She regrets her decision already.]

When do you plan on flying it?

As soon as possible. Can't get t'the other damaged systems until I'm sure it can fly.

[That's not enough time to mentally prepare herself, ugh.]

Very well.

Tell me where you would like to meet then.

[Better to get it done with than let nerves potential set in, he says.]

Outside of Solus Prime's temple. Figured a wide open space would be f'r the best.

I'm at Solus' temple at this moment, so I'll be there shortly.

[Apparently she has even less time than she thought.]

Try not to get yourself blown up in the meantime.

Oh now you're just insulting my tech on purpose, aren't you?

[For shame.]

I'll be here.
