re_alignment | [video] Edge of Solus' quadrant, crystal tree forest

Since the Firstforged are leaving, unknown for how long, I was thinking we might want to patrol more consistently towards the borders of Haven, especially in the direction of the Badlands.

[She needs some distraction and she's been considering bringing this up since she talked to Solus either way.]

Where, and how far, do the police force patrol? Though, anyone who can and feel like it should probably assist, but coordination would probably make it more effective. So far I've kept it mostly around the edge of Solus Prime's outer border.

[Elita walks as she speaks, looking more at the now rather impressively large crystal "trees" around her than the screen, but not just for admiring them - rather looking for something.]

Also, would anyone be capable of making some form of alarms we could put around the edges? Simple motion-detection ones might be useful enough, but I was thinking of something that might be able to detect the type of energy the Badlands contain.

[Nothing she can do, but hopefully someone else would be - or could try to.]

[Who is this. :| Not that she does more than eye the text message for a moment or two before replying. There's nothing odd in the message itself, after all.]

I would assume someone of the scientists here have such samples, otherwise a short expedition might be needed, yes. And I'd do the motion detectors myself if I was the least bit well-versed in engineering, so any assistance in that would be helful.

[She uses tools, she doesn't make them.]

yes well, i'm new here

[that should give it away.]

it wouldn't be the first time i've had to make do with sub-par tools

i'm sure i can convince them to share

[Doing some quick calculation and given who has recently arrived... yes, it does give it away.]

It should be all right, and I'm sure asking would be enough convincing.

[Seriously, even if she hadn't figured it out, the way that had been phrased was... suspicious, at the least.]

There's not much in the way of proper tools here, no, mostly because we lack the equipment to make them.

something tells me they might not be all that keen on sharing

[could it be..........because you're a sociopath, ratchet?]

like i said, i'm used to having to do jobs on the fly without the proper tools

Given it's merely energy readings from the Badlands, I don't see why not.

[Even with who you are, sir.]

I'm sure there'll be enough it can be done without... sacrificing anything.

[She's not entirely sure how to phrase herself now that she's pretty sure she knows who is on the other end.]

you'd be surprised with the sense of superiority most mechs here have

we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

And you certainly have no part in that.

[If text could exhude sarcasm, that sentence certainly did.]

I suppose so, yes.

that depends on how you look at it

And you would look at it in what way...?

[It's probably a good thing she's pretty sure she knows who this is, otherwise she'd be far less critical.]

psychopathy notwithstanding?

[yeah, of course he knows what's up with him mentally. he just doesn't give a fuck. HOLLA.]

[Wow, Ratchet, wow. Elita is just going to stare at those two words for a bit before she sends the reply.]

Since you admitted to it, yes.

then you answered your own question.

I suppose I did.

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing most people aren't as self-aware as you are.

[She's just. Going to stay away for as long as she can.]

i have no doubt most would see it as a bad thing, primus forbid something challenge their beloved status quo.

Most of us would prefer people don't engage in behaviour that endanger others, you know.

[Dry? Maybe just a little.]

most things that are worth protecting don't tend to get torn to pieces.

If that was true, a lot more mechs would be alive and many more buildings would be standing today than actually are.

.[Even things well-protected fall in war, whatever you do.]

perhaps you just didn't try hard enough.

I think those who were in the war did as well as they could, and while I didn't participate actively, I did contribute.

[Also, good bye, Ratchet. 8| She's not going to reply to any more messages because rude insult about her friends' efforts.]
