[The feed flickers on, which shows nothing at first. Oddly enough, it’s the inside of the altar room ov Vector Prime. Maybe someone had left their--

But there’s a flash of orange eyes. They only flicker in the feed for a fleeting moment. In another flicker, there’s something peering down into the device, a nose prodding it. It looks to be a a dog of a robotic nature.]

A communication device… [The dog’s eyes brighten and fade with every word and he lifts a red paw up to reposition the object.]

Calling Brave Police, this is Shadowmaru. [He lifts his head, ears alert as he hears something off in the distance. Thankfully it was one of the acolytes. The BP Unit relaxes.]

I am low on fuel. I’m not quite sure if this place even has fuel, but. I’ll try my best for the time being.

If anyone else can hear this, I will try my best to send my coordinates. I read other signatures here, but I’m not familiar with any of them. [His head perks up again, orange optics wary.]

Again, this is Shadowmaru, calling for the Brave Police. If anyone could give me their location, it would be appreciated.

[He then races off screen, the device jostling before shutting off.]

[NOPE just gonna laugh at you dork]

[He growls up at him, barking.]

I'm serious! [But the ninja detective sighs and hops up in the air, changing back to normal.]

How come you're able to consume it?

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Because I'm more hardcore than you, obviously.

[Ahem. Okay messing with Shadowmaru time is over. Gunmax gets all serious business.]

If you'd been paying attention, you would have heard what I said about getting an upgrade. Had to have my engine changed out, we all did.

Re: [video]

[loborobo]

Hardcore? Yeah right. This coming from the bot who treats his bike like a prized infant.

[He perks up.]

And upgrade. Right. I'll have to look into that.

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

I do not.

[grumble grumble fuck you etc]

I can introduce you to the creepy old dude that did mine. I survived, so you'll probably be fine too.

Re: [video]

[loborobo]

You do too. [Shadowmaru stares at him pointedly.]

Creepy old dude, hm? That sounds extremely safe.

[oh wait not video]

[badboybikerbot]

You're imagining things. [GLARE]

Look, it was fine. You know how picky I am about who pokes around at my insides.

WOOPS MY BAD TOO

[loborobo]

And about who pulls your trigger.

[HEHEH]

So where are you going to be taking me?

LOL OOPS

[badboybikerbot]

Baby, you wish you could handle my cannon.

[not sorry.]

Seems like the guys that beat us here were pretty busy. There's a police station set up and everything. I mean, unless you'd rather make a living around here doing dog tricks.

[loborobo]

But my cannon was larger.

[What are timelines.]

As long as they still have ceiling vents, I'll be fine with that.

[badboybikerbot]

[oh my god]

It's not the size that counts! Look, just. Shut up!

[THAT CANNON IS THE ONE AWESOME THING GUNMAX CAN DO OK DON'T TAKE THAT FROM HIIIIIIM]

It might! I'm not a creepy weirdo, so I didn't think to look!

[loborobo]

[Gonna flaunt it for as long as he can.]

I'll have to take a look then. It's the best mode of travel for me, you know.

[Joking of course.

And he jabs a knuckle into his shoulder.]

I'm not a creepy weirdo.

[badboybikerbot]

[just gonna turn his nose up and look all OFFENDED or something. Dooon't you jab his shoulder.]

Normal people don't hide in the ceiling. I'm just sayin'.

[loborobo]

[He scoffs and crosses his arms.]

Being normal is boring.

You'd know first hand.

[badboybikerbot]

Humph. You say that like it's a bad thing. We can't all turn into cute little puppy dogs, okay?

[loborobo]

You think I'm cute?

[badboybikerbot]

You wish. Now shut up and get on the bike.

[Gunmax is just gonna turn around and hop on gunbike now and ignore Shadowmaru's stupid shadowmaruness.]

[loborobo]

You just said I was cute.

[And he gets on the bike behind him, curling his arms around his waist.]

[badboybikerbot]

Dogs are cute. Even those really ugly dogs are cute.

[uuuuuuuuuugh even deckerd wasn't that grabby]

Ease up, will ya? You're not gonna fall off unless I want you to.

[loborobo]

[FINE, he'll pull his hands back and reach down to hold onto the edge of the seat.]

Picky.

[badboybikerbot]

Annoying.

[Man does Gunmax want Shadowmaru to fall off. but he'll be nice and NOT drive like an asshole. Just this once.]

[loborobo]

[You're so sweet.]

How long have you been on this Cybertron?

[badboybikerbot]

[the sweetest]

I just got here a few days ago. Everyone else has been here way longer. Deckerd, Power Joe, McCrane. ...Um. This other guy. All been here between a couple months and over a year. Which doesn't really make any sense at all, but hey. It is what it is, right?

[loborobo]

This whole place is weird.

[He stares down at the glyph on his own shoulder and soon notices Gunmax's]

How come yours is different?

[badboybikerbot]

Weird? That's putting it lightly.

[Gunmax is kind of watching the road right now but he can guess at what Shadowmaru is talking about.]

What, the weird tattoo thing? Beats me, maybe it's just because I started off in a different temple.
