[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.

Two. Three if you don't mind having no space. It's a short-range fighter.

[It wasn't exactly made to fly alone for long periods of time.]

Can do. I may be a bit rusty at it but I mostly know what I'm doin'.

So its not likely we'll be on the search for Luna 1 anytime soon.

[He stares up at the sky, where the right moons are in place regardless.]

Oh, wait, nevermind. I found it.

You're making those appendages of yours sound more and more attractive each time you mention them, you know.

[He wants to fly a ship, now. But he wants to see you do it, first.]

And so the hunt for Luna 1 concludes triumphantly?

[Moons are generally pretty easy to locate and all that. He chuckles.]

I don't mean to, I swear. But when the supplies to construct and install them - and the energon for the recovery - were in supply, they were a popular upgrade. If a bit freaky f'r your coworkers.

[He can't say he's minded the ability to hack things the few times he's done it.]

Yup. I claim discovery.

Granted, this one hasn't been missing for megacycles like ours has...

[Still. Victory is victory.]

I suppose that depends on what you're doing with those co-workers, doesn't it?

Don't tell me yours wandered off on its own.

[They didn't have moons to begin with so he's not sure what Cybertron's moons are supposed to be like.]

Mm, not necessarily. You ain't seen mine yet, but they tend t'look off-putting already, and... well. They come with a built-in reputation thanks t'my Soundwave.

I am probably not the person to be asking about that. There's lots of theories, of course, and seeing as that I am a theoretician I'd take a lot of enjoyment out of going over them with you, BUT the important thing here is that there is a moon, it has not wandered off, and we can't reach it anyhow.

Oh, and you have tentacles.

[That is also important.]

But you can...er...sheath them, right?

Well. Some of the fliers could reach it maybe. Just that we can't. Unless someone put a pillared space bridge he and one there.

That I do.

[Which is only un-awkward about at the moment because piloting.]

If I couldn't, you'd've seen them already. I keep the cables outta the way, and the microfilaments don't come out 'til they're needed.

A pillared space bridge?

[Do go on.]

...

Say that last part again.

[Not that it will be any less disturbing.]

Mm-hmm. Runs through a network of mobile pillars. One of our last Primes built it. And he constructed enough pillars to move entire planets. Don't like him, but I'll admit. He's a genius.

[He was wondering how much he could weird you out while keeping you intrigued.]

The cables have microfilaments. I hope you didn't think they connected through prayer and diligent effort.

Any idea what they look like? I mean, it seems like it would be something to watch out for if it happened to fall through the Lambda...

[Then Skids would have something to fly, too! Well. No. But something to puzzle over, at least.]

No.

No.

Not exactly.

I mean, when I had shall we say 'dextrous appendages,' they did not come with microfilaments. I'm just documenting the differences, that is all.

When can I come see?

A very good idea. I could send you the files of what I've got, if you want. But you'd have to basically jailbreak the control pillar to get them to work; they only respond to Sentinel Prime.

Mine, that is.

[As hilarious as the idea of them trying to get Blurr's Sentinel to play along is...]

Difference between combat-grade and data uplink, I guess.

And the answer t'that is, when are you available to see them?

Yeah, send those.

Or better yet, I'll pick them up when I come see you, which...

[He pulls up his weekly schedule. For the most part it is free, but he made the schedule and he's going to stick to it.]

How about tomorrow?

[Ooh, schedules. Scary.]

Tomorrow sounds good. Gives me time to get any kinks worked out of the flight system, and to see what's useful in those files.

[Considering all of that dealt with Chicago, he'd prefer to remove all the irrelevant bits. Like the massacring and the death and general destruction.]
