[Video][Broadcasting from the Junk Pile]

[mccrane]

[McCrane has managed to collect a large number of basic building supplies, most of which he has amassed on and in the back of his alt mode. The video is from within his cab, driving, the occasional bounce showing some of the steel beams he has piled on top.]

With fuel no longer being a problem for myself or my companions, we have the time for other pursuits.

[Having the time to not slowly die was an enjoyable experience, he'd found.]

Although I will be assisting my team in building our headquarters, I wanted to offer my services to anyone else who may need a machine familiar with construction. I can provide architectural schematics, advice, and supplies.

I can also lift...just about anything.

[He is a crane. It's what he can do.]


[Locked to Prime!Scream, though probably not securely.]

Your list was...exhaustive. Nevertheless, I think you might be interested in these:

[The camera changes to show the pieces of a number of specific tools that Starscream was looking for sitting on McCrane's front seat. They aren't full tools, but with a little help they could be jury-rigged to be.]

[Sitting next to the tool-bits is a pile of datapads, collected specifically for...]





[Locked to Ani!Scream, though probably not securely.]

[The camera opens on the pile of datapads in his front cab-seat, sitting next to a number of pieces of cybertronian-looking tools.]

Hopefully one of these will do.

[Because McCrane can't actually tell what is on them.]

Comments

Gunmax said I should go to you if I wanted to help you build your place, your--whatchmacallit, the Decker Room?

[mccrane]

[Korra, you're a genius.]

You can move rock, yes?

[Because boy was he going to need help without Power Joe around.]

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra doesn't get that often.]

Definitely. What do you need me to move?

[mccrane]

Do buildings in your world have foundations?

[He figures it's best to figure out if they have a baseline or if he'll have to explain it all.]

[not_halfbaked]

Yeah, especially the ones in Republic City. But I'm no architect, so you'll probably want to just explain everything to me.

[mccrane]

Foundations can be the most important part of a building. It is important to have a level surface to build off of, for smaller structures, and it is important to have a depth to anchor larger ones.

I'll need very particular dimensions carved into the surface...how accurate is your 'bending?'

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra nodded slowly, taking the information in.]

As long as you can give me the dimensions and we're clear on how that translates--like I don't actually know how you measure stuff, if it's different from my world--and I take it slow enough, my bending should be accurate enough for this.

[mccrane]

I'll need you to make large, rectangular indentations into the ground--Like a giant with...really straight feet.

If you can do that, Korra, you will be an incredible builder.

[And she'd help him, and all the people wanting buildings, too.]

[not_halfbaked]

Hmm, when you put it that way, maybe you or the other Brave Police or another robot or Cybertronian could be used as a basis, since you guys are...well, pretty much giants.

[Korra nods.] But yeah, sounds good. Just direct me McCrane, and I'll do what I can.

[Korra blinks at that. Blushes.] Oh, well...just as long as the stuff's built...!

[mccrane]

...!

[He hadn't thought of it that way! Congratulations, you actually get him to laugh!]

Even bigger giants than us, Korra. Something more like... [He thinks.] More like the Firstforged.

But I don't think I've known anyone here as dedicated to helping as you have been. Does it give you something to focus on?
