[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]

Unlike you, I was coming back from a successful mission back home!

I was going to refuel until I got dumped here!

[badboybikerbot]

Are you implying that my missions aren't successful? Is that it?

[loborobo]

No.

You're simply too busy babying over your bike all the time to bother with anything.

[badboybikerbot]

It's not babying, and it's not all the time.

Oh, and before I forget, you might wanna teach your buddy to watch his language.

[loborobo]

[He opens his mouth to snap back but...

Bwuh?]

Kagerou cursed?

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax gives Shadowmaru the most deadpan look ever (which isn't hard to achieve considering he has a visor on that covers half his face but hey)]

He called me a buttfuck.

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru stares at him.]










[Pfft. Excuse him, he's trying to hold in his laughter. AHEM.]

So?

[badboybikerbot]

So!? He can't just go around calling people buttfucks!

[Correction: he can't just go around calling GUNMAX a buttfuck. He doesn't care about anyone else.]

[loborobo]

He called you a buttfuck.

[And he's sure Kagerou hasn't called anyone else that.]

[badboybikerbot]

Oh, so that makes it all okay. I see how it is.

[he crosses his arms and HUMPHS. Very dramatically.]

[loborobo]

You're going to let one little word get your circuits in a bunch?

Really?

[badboybikerbot]

I'd only known the guy for like five minutes. That's gotta be a new record.

And technically, it's two words.

[loborobo]

I think you'll live, Gunmax.

[badboybikerbot]

Yeah, yeah.

From what I can tell, he seems to be fitting in pretty decently. So you don't need to worry too much, I guess.

[loborobo]

I can't help but worry with all this... FirstForged and glyph nonsense.

[He frowns again and looks down at his shoulder.]

[badboybikerbot]

Psh. Screw 'em. I don't care enough to worry. This glyph crap doesn't make any difference, as far as I'm concerned.

[loborobo]

You don't care about the robo-gods which rule over this planet.

With their branding on your shoulder.

No concern whatsoever?

[badboybikerbot]

What good is worrying gonna do? I don't really like it, but if there's nothing that can be done about it, then don't complain.

[loborobo]

It still doesn't sit well with me.

[He lets his hand fall from his shoulder.]

I wonder how different these gods really are from one another. Obviously your FirstForged is different from my own.

[Seeing as how they picked GUNMAX, of all people.]

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax glanced down at his own glyph and gave Shadowmaru a shrug]

Looks like it. I don't really care what mine looks like, as long as it doesn't clash with my paint job.

[black goes with everything so it WORKS OUT]

[loborobo]

[HE SIGHS but shakes his head.]

Well. Thanks again for the gas.

I'll be sure to find a medic to fix me up.

[badboybikerbot]

Don't mention it.

If you want, I can try to hook you up with the guy that did my upgrade. Assuming he doesn't pass out in the middle of it or something, it should go fine.

[loborobo]

Oh?

What's his name?

[badboybikerbot]

Ratchet.

Apparently there's two Ratchets. Must be a popular name. The one that worked on me is okay, the other one is some kinda psycho.

[loborobo]

Good to know. I'll keep that in mind.

[He stands up straight and gives a small wave.]

I think I'll go get that done now, while I'm fueled. [Somewhat.]
