[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.]

Comments

[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.

[badboybikerbot]

Hah!

[Good job Shadowmaru you just won bro points.]

Anyway, we're gettin' close.

[loborobo]

[WELL HE IS KIND OF A NERD.]

Thank goodness.

[His gas gauge is just getting down into the red.]

[badboybikerbot]

[yep NERDS SUCK]

Hey, hey, the trip wasn't that bad.

[aaaand hey Gunmax parks the bike at some building]

I've got a little gas left over from when I got here. Think you can make it inside?

[loborobo]

[He manages to dismount from the bike.]

Yeah I'm sure I ca--

[He takes a few more steps before suddenly his gas tank hits E.

He's optics widen and he fall flat on his face.]

[badboybikerbot]

[oh uh. Well that's a thing that happened.

Startled, Gunmax kneels down and starts getting all up in Shadowmaru's business. And by that I mean he grabs his shoulder]

Oi, Shadowmaru! Dammit, you didn't tell me you were that low on fuel!

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru leans against him, like deadweight and frowns at him.]

You never asked how low!

[Now you're just making up excuses, Shadowmaru.]

[badboybikerbot]

I figured you woulda mentioned it on your own, seein' as that's kind of important!

[UGH YOU BIG DUMB ASSHOLE LOSER, Why does Gunmax put up with you. FINE, he's going to try to help Shadowmaru to his feet. Goddamn why does he have to be so big with his giant dumb shoulders]

[loborobo]

[They're attractive, okay.]

Well, at least you came by just in time. [He says with a small chuckle.

Enjoy all that dead weight, Gunmax. With those shoulders.]

[badboybikerbot]

[yeah. Just keep telling yourself that.]

Tch, looks like you lucked out.

[Gunmax is in fact not enjoying all this dead weight, but it would be rude to leave Shadowmaru on the ground for some other sucker to find, so.]

Once I drag your sorry ass inside, I'll grab that gas for you.

[loborobo]

Yes, lucky me, for having you.

[Shadowmaru grins though as he's dragged along.]

Just, be careful of the paint job.

[badboybikerbot]

[humph HUMPH.]

A couple scratches should be the least of your worries right now!

[BUT DON'T WORRY, believe it or not Gunmax is being careful. He doesn't even run Shadowmaru into any doorways, as much as he really wants to.]

[loborobo]

[IT'S A MIRACLE.]

You're being awful careful about it.

[badboybikerbot]

That can change.

[just keep pushing your luck buddy he dares you]

Hey, did you get a chance to talk to anyone else before I got to you?

[loborobo]

Managed to talk to Power Joe.

Still the same as always, even after a year of being here.

[badboybikerbot]

I don't know if it's possible for that guy to change.

[which was kind of comforting in it's own weird little way, but hey.]

Did he tell you who else was here?

[because IF HE DID then Gunmax could avoid this conversation altogether which would be NICE for him.]

[loborobo]

[He tilts his head thinking.]

McCrane, Deckerd, and, well you.

...And there are some pretty big robots here.
