[guess who's conscious again!]

So, guessing from the recent network posts that Pillar had it's ass kicked back through the Lambda? It's really good to see the damage was minimal, you guys did a fantastic job.

I'm currently a little bit... impaired, but if there's anyway I can help with anything, let me know.


[locked to strelok]

That, uh. Sure was something.

I'm sorry, you weren't hurt were you?

Ah, you are awake! That is good, I was worried. After that whole thing.

I am all right. I hope I did not hit you too hard?

Re: [video | locked]

[cec_engineer]

Yeah, fucking Pillar. It was a shitty idea of me to even think about going near it and putting you in danger like that.

I'm fine, it's the arm that's going to take a while to fix up. Again, not saying I didn't have it coming. Just glad nothing too severe happened to either of us.

[gtfostalker]

Bah. If you had not touched it I would have, and I was much better armed than you. Though I could not telekinetically throw things like a poltergeist.

[He thought that was a neat trick in hindsight.]

We were both lucky, then. I did what I could to keep from hurting you too much. And at least it was us and not the giant robots, yes?

[Haha just imagine how much of the Haven they would have blown up.
Or not, that's a little disturbing.]

Re: [video | locked]

[cec_engineer]

Ha, yeah. My kinesis module sure comes in handy a lot of the time. Though, sometimes I have to ask myself if using it to pick up a beer is taking it for granted.

[FROWNY FACE]

Sometimes there is an advantage to being so small in a land of giants.

...Christ, that sounded pretentious.

[gtfostalker]

That just means it is multi-purpose, which is even better.

[Pffffff Strelok will not laugh. He swears he won't.
But he's going to break into a huge grin anyway.]

You sound like a journalist, talking like that. One of the ones that shows up somewhere hoping to get a prize for writing.

Re: [video | locked]

[cec_engineer]

Pff, I've been called many things but that's the first time I've heard 'journalist.'

[his grin falters slightly TIME FOR SRS BUSINESS]

So, uh. What happened after I... yeah?

[video | locked]

[gtfostalker]

[Okay, okay. Srs business face.]

You touched the pillar, and your glyph guttered like a lamp with a bad bulb. Then your eyes went completely black.

I almost expected you to turn into a bloodsucker and try to eat me.

[Which is probably the one time that he'll admit he was absolutely worried.]

I guess you thought I was the mutant though, since you tried to run away.

[originaldragoon]

Actually from what I have heard, it disintegrated.

Perhaps you should just concentrate on resting.

[cec_engineer]

Either way, the bastard's gone for good. Right?

[but moooom]

...I've been sitting on my ass completely out of it for a week. I'll have to do something before I go crazy!

[crazier anyway]

[originaldragoon]

Yes, it is gone for good.

[Don't but me >| ]

Is there anything you can do while in bed?

[cec_engineer]

[but but but mom]

Want to be out of it and doing something productive, feel useless. The usual.

[originaldragoon]

[No. >| ]

You won't be of much use if you are still recovering.

[cec_engineer]

[GASP HDU]

It's really not that bad. I don't have the best mobility in one arm, but it's not like I'm about to pass out on any of you.

[deadlydoctor]

Damn right be did. That fragging thing and its effects are gone for good, I couldn't be happier.


I need someone to buff my back, could you help with that? [Is he joking, if he serious...?]

[cec_engineer]

I... don't think I'd be able to reach. Maybe try asking someone who isn't a tenth of your size.

[this face, ko]

[deadlydoctor]

We have ladders you know. Or I could turn into my alt mode.

[Now he's just trolling. This is how he interacts when he doesn't dislike someone, really. ]

[cec_engineer]

Yeah, about that. I can barely move.

You'll have to ask someone else, champ.

[deadlydoctor]

Did someone step on you?

[cec_engineer]

Nope, just got shot in the shoulder and wanged on the head. Unfortunately us frail humans can't heal up as fast as you robots so I'll probably be stuck here for a while.

[skidaddle]

When you say 'impaired' like that, a mech gets worried.

[cec_engineer]

For all intents and purposes, I got off pretty easy considering what happened.

Sort of deserved it too- Long story short, the Pillar made me crazy then Strelok shot me in the shoulder and wanged me on the head to stop anything bad happening.

[he snorts slightly] Humans can't heal as fast as some of the Cybertronians I've seen come and go, but I'll be up and around again in a few months, give or take.

[skidaddle]

...

In a way, I'm glad I'm not the only one with after-effects from that blasted chunk of rock.

On the other hand--months?

I don't think my Link translated that correctly. Who designed your regeneration systems?

[Do humans have those?]

[cec_engineer]

What did it hit you with? I just got a nasty hallucination.

[he rubs his forehead. oh man] Uh, yeah. Humans don't... have regeneration systems, and our natural healing process is pretty slow. I'd love to be able to just get a new arm but. It doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

The worst part is over now, though. Those months will probably mostly just be about regaining fully mobility again.

[skidaddle]

I got bit by Knockout, and now I hunger after the energon of the living.

[The way he says it, its just a day in the life. He needs to stop having these sorts of adventures.]

Have you had any of the scientists take a look at that? You'd think with all the technology lying around we could do something...

And I'd be happy to give you a ride in the meantime.

Since.

You don't have energon.

[Which means its safe to be around you.]

[cec_engineer]

That's. Uh. [wow how do you even react to that] I'm sorry? Is it specifically energon of the living? I've been told this planet is just leaking energon everywhere, so maybe you can claim one of those natural fountains as your own until that can be... fixed.

[he doesn't like using the word 'fixed' around living robots. because skid is not broken, just has a teeny cannibalism problem]

I'm sure I could ask, but honestly they all seem pretty busy with Cybertronians or other organics who need immediate help, and I'm happy on my place low on their list of priorities. I'll keep that in mind, though. Plus I don't think that tank one likes me...

If- if you're sure it won't be too much trouble, I might take you up on that offer.
