[Video - first part open, then several locks] Forward-dated to tomorrow/event end

[Wow, that is one seriously FRAGGED THE FUCK OFF-looking Seeker right there.  So fragged off, in fact, that it takes him a moment before he can even form coherent words.  When he finally does, they're short, sweet, and to the point.]

I will say this only once.

It. Never. Happened!

[He raises an arm, rifle leveled at his Link device.  Yes, he really is that mad.  But . . . he stops himself and just steps over to the thing, growling as he ends the transmission with a rough, almost violent gesture.  It'll be several more minutes . . . but then he sends a few private messages.]


[Locked to Ventus]

...thanks.  For . . . that . . .

[For not just putting up with him but trying to help]


[Locked to Ravage]

Are you all right?


[Locked to Megatron]

I'm willing to meet with you, if you still want me to, sir.  And . . . if I can ask you to let me speak before shooting me.

[Not that . . . he'd try to stop you if you still decided to.  >,>]


[Locked to The Spine]

You . . . took me seriously.  Have you honestly run across such nonsense before?

[Sorry . . . he just...REALLY had to ask.  Because seriously WTF DUDE?]


[and finally - Locked to Starscream]

You can let me out now.

[He appreciates it.  Really, he does.  But...]

Ya know, threats like that are usually more effective when they would do more than just blow up your own communicator.

But done. I'll pretend I never heard of vorpal dustbunnies.

Too bad though; would've made another fun video to add to my collection...

[You miss out on so much good material when you're too insubstantial to do things with your communicator, yo.]

[notyourblueangel]

Hm? Threat?

[No, he really was just fragged off enough to "turn off" his Link by shooting it. So it takes him a moment to get what Axel's talking about.]

Oh. No, that...hn, never mind.

[He shakes his head.]

Are you all right? Not a ghost anymore?

[The last comes out with a small smirk, actually - yes, he's kinda teasing.]

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel smirks in return, amused.]

Nope. No more than usual, anyway. Thankfully got that taken care of before it became a serious problem, even if it was kind of an accident.

[notyourblueangel]

[He frowns a bit, nodding.]

Yeah, I can see where intangibility like that could be.

So it really was those crystals after all, huh? Anyone have theories yet on where they came from?

[nobody_number_8]

Yep, definitely the crystals. And the prevailing theory about where they came from right now seems to be Unicron and/or the Lambda screwing with us. Which frankly wouldn't surprise me.

[notyourblueangel]

[Yes, this is him actually facepalming.]

Of course. Why not?

Unicron can go frag himself. Sideways, with a rusted-out exhaust pipe.

[nobody_number_8]

Assuming that means what it sounds like it means, I completely agree. You'd think an evil chaos-god would have more important things to do than play what amounts to cosmic pranks on us, but noooooo...

[notyourblueangel]

Maybe he's just trying to wear us down.

[The way the Seeker's feeling right at the moment, he's actually kind of inclined to follow that with an "it's working"...]

[nobody_number_8]

...Yeah, let's try not think about that. Because if we go with that idea, the next question we have to ask is what he's wearing us down for.

And I don't know about you, but I'm not really in the mood to go borrowing trouble that might never materialize, ya know?

[notyourblueangel]

[The Seeker snorts – "to dominate us, destroy us . . . catch us off-guard so it's easier" – but he'll . . . leave his thoughts unspoken. Axel's probably right.]

Was there any kind of damage or other stuff done over the course of things that the police force should probably know about?

[nobody_number_8]

Not that I've been able to tell, though a lot of people's egos and dignity took a bit of a beating. Everybody the brown energon made sick seems to be recovering too, if they haven't already.

And I actually think Blurr and a few others went and did some repair work on the abandoned station in Megatronus' area. Guess at least something constructive came out of all this, right?
