[Video] Paging the Build Team . . . and the nearest "hospital"?

[Deckard is nothing if not a quick study . . . though he's still not wholly convinced this isn't all just some elaborate sensory hoax. But he's been given some real direction ~~from a most unexpected source at that~~ and is running with it.]

Hello? I've been told to seek out a . . . medic. [Is that really the right word?] ...mechanical engineer. Or a robotics engineer. Someone who can modify an engine from running on gasoline to whatever is the common fuel source here.

[If he sounds - or looks - a little on the tired/haggard side, that would be because he's not fueled recently. He'd intended to fill up "tomorrow" when he got in to work, but he's been here for some hours now and he's starting to feel it. But he pushes that aside.]

Also, if anyone knows where the Build Team is, and if they're all right, I'd appreciate hearing from you. McCrane, Power Joe, and Drill Boy. ...and Dumpson. [Because he can hardly imagine three-quarters of the Build Team being present and not all of them.]

Thank you in advance for your help.

Oi! Deckard!

What took you so long to get here?

[Power Joe is...typical Power Joe.]

Power Joe!

[Have a relieved-looking Deckard. He offers an apologetic shrug.]

I wish I knew. [a bothered frown] I've been here before, apparently . . . though I have no memory of it. I can't even find where there might be corrupted or missing files in my memory units.

Where are you? Are the others with you?

You're one'a the Brave Police, right? I know your pal McCrane. Cute fella. The one that did the upgrades f'r most of the others is... absent, but I helped design 'em. Could probably install it for you. Best to get it in soon, since I don't know much gasoline we've got.

[And energon tends to make normal engines... Explode. Horribly.]

Name's Barricade, by the by. Solian medic, upgrader, and general maker of interestin' things.

That's what they're all sayin'. I came after you 'left'. You mean you don't remember it?

...

McCrane's probably at the Police HQ, same as Drill Boy.

And Kagerou is...yeah. Alive.

No, I don't…[And that bothers him. A /LOT/.]

[And yeah, he caught that you didn't answer where YOU are. He frowns a bit, worried, but will let it be for now.]

There's a police HQ here? Huh . . . I should probably go check in then.

Yeah, he . . . he's already contacted me. He said you guys have taken him in, which I'm glad…

Power Joe . . . what the heck is this place? Some kind of time sink or something? Sounds like you have been here for a long while but everything in my Super A.I. says it's only been a matter of hours since I bid all of you good night to take Boss home. And don't get me started on how many months it's been since Kagerou… What's going on?

[Uh, yeah, please no explody surprises. He'd really appreciate that. Eeesh.]

[Also? Please forgive him while he just kind of…gapes…for a second or three. One, you're obviously a sentient robot. That's a far cry from common where he's from (he and his are just a step above unique). And two, your design is like nothing he's ever seen before. But then he shakes himself, trying to recover.]

Ah . . . yes, I'm a member of the Brave Police. My name is Deckard with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Criminal Investigations division, Brave Police Project. Pleased to meet you, Barricade. And thank you, I'd be interested in seeing what you can do as far as an upgrade goes. And . . . whatever other "interesting" things you've made.

[The last is stated with a small grin as he tries to ease the situation –or, well, more like his own discomfort –with a bit of humor.]

[Have this big green guy peering into the camera, Deckard. If you look close there might be a tiny, 3' or so, brownish green robo lizard curled up on his shoulder.

Oh hey, you know McCrane? Oh right, not every vehicle runs on Energon.]

For changin' your engine out, think the docs in Solus' temple could help with that so you're running on Energon.

[He tilts his head a little, curious.]

You know McCrane? He's head of the police here, probably at their HQ at the moment.

[Uh, excuse him while he stares for just a second…or three. He's seen piloted, criminal robots built a little like you before, but…they weren't sentient. He kind of shakes himself after an instant, though, remembering himself.]

Energon? Ah, I mean . . . thank you, yes.

[The last gets a grin.]

Yes, I know McCrane. He's been a member of my team since he was first built and inducted into the force. He's head of the police here?

I'm sorry. I'm Deckard, by the way. I'm with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Criminal Investigations division, Brave Police Project. Pleased to meet you.

[Most people don't gape at him quite... so obviously. Barricade doesn't seem to mind regardless, doorwings on his back flicking lightly as he adjusts his stance. Like what you see~? He chuckles lightly.]

Of course. I co-own a clinic in Solus Prime's temple. Lemme send you coordinates.

[Bleep bloop! Coordinates sent.]

Don't worry too much, darlin'. I'm one'a the best at what I do, and what I do is unusual upgrades for folks.

[He sees that stare, and he smiles a little, trying to look a little friendlier. Looks like another new person here.]

Yeah, Energon's the main fuel source here. Unless you're an organic. [His smile brightens some at the grin and he nods, eyes brightening a little.]

Yep, he's the head. Him and Blurr have run it since the last head disappeared.

Heh, nice to meetcha Deckard. I'm Bulkhead, nothing fancy here, just a Wrecker and construction worker.

[He doesn't mean to be obvious. ~~He's barely more than a kid, whaddya expect? 9,9~~]

[He receives the data and nods.]

I'm sure I can find this without too much trouble. Thank you, Barricade. I'll come find you soon.

"Organic"? [He's kinda used to a noun after that. Like "organic tofu" or "organically-grown produce" or something like that.]

Disappeared? [That's less than encouraging.] Blurr...I think I've met him.

Heh . . . sorry. I don't mean to sound fancy. I am pleased to meet you, though, Bulkhead.

...do you know of a robot named Barricade?

[Don't worry, Deckard, he's been trying to behave. If you look in the background, you'll notice he's outside, just taking a drive. Nothing too big to report aside from the usua-okay he's up to something but let's not question it.]

Figures Kagebird would know you're here before us.

The best way I can explain it is some kind of alternate universe. Another world too. And we're all pulled to here from our worlds at different times, which explains Kagebird.

[Yyyyyyeah, no, dude. At home or on an alien planet, you're still a member of his team so he's still responsible for you, if only in his own reckoning. He's half-a-mind to press about what you're up to, but then the comments derail him COMPLETELY. Starting with the nickname, which gets a chuckle from him.]

"Kage-bird"?

[He shakes his head, getting back on-task, though there's still a small grin on his face.]

Different times, huh? Yeah, I . . . guess that explains it. But then what was your last experience before you got here. Like I said, I only just saw you a few hours ago.

At least . . . as far as I can remember . . .

[It's okay, he knows you're young and also that - compared to a lot of others - he is extremely strange. Other mechs are not nearly so spikey after all.]

Excellent. And it's my pleasure, Deckard; this is the sorta work I like doin'. I'll be waiting.

All right.

((ooc: Log? Actionspam? Handwave? Applesauce? 8D;;; Also...just noting really quick b/c it'll probably also come up again later - I'd meant to have Deckard stick to "modification" instead of "upgrade". He's...kind of /really/ twitchy right now about "upgrades" [due to his pull point]. ))

((Actionspam works for me if it works for you! And you've got it. Potential misunderstanding on the way, maybe 8D?))

Er, humans and others that aren't robotic like us. [He could use other terms, but his one of the nicer ones.]

Yeah, disappeared. Some people disappear from here. Here one day, gone the next with no warning. [Best to warn him now, right? He'd find out sometime.] Yeah, Blurr's a nice guy.

Nah, it's fine. Tokyo, huh? Got a friend who grew up there before she left on an exchange program through her school.

I do know Barricade, yeah. We're in the same temple and have talked before.

[So . . . he's talked to people on the..."Link"?...on the Link, he's explored around a little, he's talked to Kagerou in person - one unfortunate fact...there really is no gasoline to be had here. Which means . . . ~~upgrade~~ modification is a go. He's been kind of putting it off - he'll say it's because he had other things to contend with first - but now that his gauge is tapping the left border of the red zone, it's either seek out this guy Barricade or let himself run dry. Damn.]

[So he's found his way to this...Solus Temple, asking about a clinic, gets directions . . . he'll finally knock on a door jamb as he hovers in the opening, looking around inside. Wow . . . not a maintenance bay but an honest-to-gods hospital for robots. They weren't kidding!]

Disappear with no warning... [Spoken softly to himself - he's wondering if that's what happened to HIM, then, since others have said he's been here before.] Do they ever come back? And do they ever remember being here before, either right away or recover those memories later?

You're in the Solus Temple, too? Yes, he offered to...ah, modify my engine. [Modify...not upgrade...he's still just a bit too twitchy about "upgrades" right now to be able to bring himself to think of it that way.]

You called? [DID SOMEONE SAY MEDIC.] The common fuel here is called energon and you need it to drink it. I upgraded Gunmax in the past, I can tell that you two share some similarities.

They are usually found at the Police headquarters, McCrane leads them.

Yes, we do. Gunmax is a member of my-

Wait, Gunmax? He's here too?

[WHY HAS NO ONE MENTIONED HIM BEFORE? Kagerou, McCrane, Drill Boy, and Power Joe were the only ones here...or so he thought.]

Yeah, some of them do. [He tilts his head a little. Trust him, he's seen more than a few just from his world disappear in this place. The smile dipping some as he speaks.] Some remember bein' here, while others don't. Not sure why, but I don't think they ever recover them either.

Yeah, I live in Solus' temple. Have since I got here [He twists enough to show his glyph.] I can't modify engines, though. But good, I'm sure he'll take care of it.

So, who's temple are you with?

I see...

[Still . . . he has to believe that he'll be able to recover his. His memories are all that he has. They're all that he IS. To just . . . up and /lose/ some . . . ]

[He refocuses at the question, peering at the tattoo. His hand goes to his own, fingers sort of softly itching at it as he looks at it.]

Ah . . . I was told this means that someone named Prima is my patron while I'm here.

Hehe, yeah. It's a little nickname we got for him. Figure since...we took him in and all, had to do the same I did for Drill Boy. Funny how that works, yeah?

[Are you proud of him? He's making friends.]

...

Yeah...that's how it is with everyone. But we're not missing anything back home. Time doesn't move.
