While exploring these last few weeks, I noticed something peculiar underneath the surface of the lake in Alpha Trion's quadrant. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it? Either way, I'm about to check it out.

[ what he isn't going to mention is the fact that there's a Decepticon symbol on the thing. the sound in the background is just Starscream flying before he cuts the feed.

and in a few minutes instead of just a voice recording... the video feed kicks on. looks kind of like a lab! actually it is a lab and quite a sizable one at that. ]

So it, ah. Let me in. [ can't say he's expecting that. and as he draws further inside, it's clear that this place isn't abandoned! ] Someone has been using this recently, that's for sure.

[ as he pans the Link around, anyone that's missing something due to the other Starscream stealing it can probably notice that this is where the guy has stored it. actually, looks like the majority of the items in here have been stolen. Starscream pauses at a particular piece of equipment with a frown. he knows this one! ]

This is Jetfire's... So much for misplacing it. My, my... Someone has some sticky fingers.

[ and there! it's probably recognizable to some... but that's definitely electrum in a container. Starscream meanders closer, looking at data!  ]

Now what's this...

You could always paint yourself black for the occasion.

[deadlydoctor]

Do you think black would suit me? It would bring up my eyes but it's a too dull color on me.

You don't like red mechs?

[loyalflier]

Actually, I do like red, thank you.

Black is just a traditional human color of mourning.

[deadlydoctor]

Oh? Is there something I should know?


Only to some humans. In Asia many people dress in colors such as indigo or ruby-red, even white.

[loyalflier]

N-not at all!

[ crud. stop that, Knock Out. ]

To be fair, I spent most of my time in America.

[deadlydoctor]

And here I got my hopes up for a moment? Are you spoken for already? Or you just like to play hard to get, handsome? [No, this is too much fun. Besides, he can appreciate beauty when he sees it.]

So did I but I can't say that Nevada is very interesting.

[loyalflier]

[ NOPE. JUST INCOHERENT SPUTTERING. ]

[deadlydoctor]

[RELAX, MAN, IT'S SOME HARMLESS FLIRTING.]

You act as if no one ever told you that before.

[loyalflier]

M-maybe! I mean no. No!

[deadlydoctor]

I found that incredibly disappointing. You should always be told how gorgeous you are, my friend.

[loyalflier]

Y-you really don't need to tease me, Knock Out!

[deadlydoctor]

This is not how I tease people. This is called 'since praising'.

You might as well get used to it. ['Cos he wont' stop anytime soon.]

[loyalflier]

You really don't have anything better to do with your time?

[deadlydoctor]

You really aren't used to people complimenting you? What sort of sad world you used to live in?

[loyalflier]

The kind that's about a fight to survive.

[deadlydoctor]

My world was the same, that's no excuse.

Maybe I need to help you to get used to it, sweet thrusters.

[loyalflier]

[ just here. sputtering. forever trying to find words and failing. ]

[deadlydoctor]

I'm going to take pity of you and stop from now. But only because I don't want a pretty thing like you to have an aneurysm.
