[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.]

[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.

[loborobo]

[He frowns and looks back down at his own glyph once again.]

That will certainly be something to ask the others.

[He's beginning to wonder if it's really all that significant. Having different glyphs...]

[badboybikerbot]

[Well if it is significant, Gunmax sure as hell doesn't seem to care]

Tell me what they say about it, yeah? I haven't really bothered asking.

[loborobo]

It doesn't bother you, that you've been pretty much branded? Like a cow?

[badboybikerbot]

Sure it does, but just because some bozo decides to slap a goofy doodle on me doesn't mean I belong to anyone. And if anyone gives me crap about that, they can cram it up their exhaust pipe.

[loborobo]

[He rolls his optics.]

Perhaps they should have put it on your af--

[But he's caught off guard by the sky, and the Lambda stretching across it.]

So that's where everything comes from. [Creepy.]

[badboybikerbot]

[oh good lets not talk about ass tattoos. he casts a brief glance toward the sky. OH so that's what Shadowmaru's distracted by.]

Seems that way. Creepy, huh?

[loborobo]

I wonder what created it.

[He purses his lips but looks over Gunmax's shoulder, in the direction he was going in. There's a long pause.]




...I still think flying is faster.

[badboybikerbot]

[he was about to say that he didn't know or care because fuck that shit, BUT.

but.

You don't get to complain about Gunbike.]

Do you want me to bump you off!? I'll find a pothole, don't think I won't!

[loborobo]

You'd do that to your own teammate?

[A small gasp!]

What would the others think?

[badboybikerbot]

You already know I don't care what anyone thinks. Besides, it's you. I'm sure they'd understand.

[loborobo]

It's me.

[He crosses his arms.]

What about me? I'm a valuable member on the team!

[badboybikerbot]

Hey, I never said you weren't, baby. Doesn't mean you don't deserve to get dropped on your backside every now and then.

[Sure you don't wanna hold on to the bike buddy, Gunmax is looking for potholes.]

[loborobo]

[WHAT NO, he'll grip his seat tightly as he keeps driving.]

I'm not the only one.

[badboybikerbot]

Hm. You're right.

Someone oughta drop Power Joe on his backside, too.

[smart move ninjabot]

[loborobo]

[He pauses.


And soon nods.]

Agreed.
