re_alignment | [Video + text] - inside the Sarcophagus

[Have Elita on your screen frowning quite severely, her mouth in a flat line. The only light beyond the glow of her blue optics is apparently some unpleasant-looking yellow, and it doesn't reach very far.

The view around the edges of the screen seem to pulse without a rhythm, and there's some sort of... device, behind her. What can be seen of the room doesn't seem to exactly be there at all. She doesn't speak, rather text pops up on the screen instead.]

If anyone has ideas of how to deal with this, I'd love to hear them. If you're going to attempt to join me, you're going to need protection against the radiation... [She shakes her helm slowly, looking away from the screen for a moment.]

Which I can probably provide through Solus little gift, but I suggest not trying to come here alone, because while I'm sure we could deal with the things I passed to get in here, their capabilities are unknown but I'm pretty sure they're far more dangerous than the creatures that milled at the outskirts.

... Just use text if you plan on replying, too. I have no idea how good hearing the creature I passed has, but if I'm going to take it I'd want back-up.

[Suggestions, anyone?]

Small>[Another amused smile.]

I have a rocket launcher, my missile launcher that also transforms into an EMP blaster...

[Pause, and Elita's optics brighten and then narrow in thought.]

Which... might actually be a possibility? Not that I'm scientist or anything, and given the lambda energy in here it might not work, but something that would disrupt the power supply or similar... should work?

There's no kill like overkill. I like it when people comes prepared.

I know a bit about EMP blasters, there's a chance. How powerful is yours?

Grim would agree with you. [Another silent laugh and she shakes her helm.] But overkill is usually unnecessary.

And powerful enough to be used as a weapon against one of us. It's not a tool I've re-purposed or anything like that.

I don't know him but I already like him. Ah, but our current situation isn't what I would classify as 'usual'.

Then give it a try but first look for a good shield just in case that things has a field.

I doubt you would, Knock Out. Grimlock isn't the easiest individual to get along with. I like him anyway. [She smiles a little lopsidedly and then snorts.]

True, but a lot of things here when they happen aren't 'usual', and that still might not require 'overkill'.

If no one else has any other idea, I'll try that. If nothing else it might be better than shooting at this thing with a normal blaster.

Elita...I worked for Megatron, Starscream and Shockwake. All the same time, even. [HA HA Grimlock is difficult, you was said?]

Oh? Such as?

Who else is there with you? Or you are all alone?

[Sorry, she's going to chuckle now.] And while I'm sure they're all difficult, Grim has his... charms, as well.

The only thing I could think of that needed overkill was those giant bugs. [Tapping her chin, Elita shrugs.]

Bulkhead and Thundercracker is coming, and one of the humans. I'm currently alone, however.

[Nah, that's okay. He likes to hear her laugh.] Is he really so bad? and he's an Autobot?

those were certainly something. I still have part of a shell in my laboratory. I've studied them. [And their acid.]

A human in there? Wouldn't the radiation kill him in minutes?

[Even when the laughter is silent because she wants to make sure she doesn't tip anything outside off to her location?] Grimlock is... Grimlock. He's rough, combative, aggressive and has ideas of leadership Prime... and Prowl usually don't agree with.

Or a lot of other people, either. Nonetheless, he is an Autobot, yes. [Amused smile.]

They were, at that. If they'd all been tiny it'd have been far easier to deal with them... And that's what I thought too, but he has apparently decided he's going to help anyway.

I just hope he won't collapse or get sick in whatever way radiation affects humans.

[Even then, yes. It's like it's a secret between them, he likes that.] Who agrees with prowl, though? No one in his sane mind, the mech's a total glitch. Prime, on the other side...it's weird to think of him not getting along with others. Otehrs that aren't Megatron, of course.

[Knock Out's kind of Autobot then.]

A difference in size can make things really difficult sometimes. [Trust him on that, he knows.] His decision then. We will see him around in a week if he's lucky.

[That just makes her snort quietly around another smile.]

I don't know if the Prowl that was here is the only one you know, but the one from my reality, from what I've heard of him, doesn't have the same point of view. And Prime... is a person, like anyone of us.

[A shrug. An amazing and principled individual, but a person nonetheless, so of course he would dislike or not work as well with everybody.]

It can, and yes, I'm hardly going to demand he turns around if he feels he can offer help, but I'm still not sure it's a good idea. Hopefully he knows his limits.

[From his end, he's snickering.]

No? So he's actually a nice mech who knows how to have fun? Because I can't believe a Prowl like that exists. I know but he's THE person. Not just a nobody.

What's his name? So I know what to call him when he eventually ends in my medbay. Please tell me it's not Lea, I'll have to slap him.

[That just makes her laugh quietly again.]

No, not quite like that! But the Prowl that was here... was far sharper, far more... [a handwave. What words to even use?] than the one from where I come from.

And of course he is, but even the most amazing leader in the galaxy won't get along with everybody. Even if he can put aside his dislike and try to work with them. [A slight grin.]

I haven't asked, actually. It's not Lea, though, unless he's taken to wearing a full covering hood over his head.

[Oh, stop it you with that charming laugh, lady.~~No, don't~~.]

It gives me a little hope hope to know that not all it's lost when it comes to him then. At least he's not a glitch in one universe.

You are right. Someone is always going to dislike someone else for whatever reason, that fact is true.

No, not that I'm aware.

[How about never?]

A glitch? Hardly. [Grinning, she shakes her helm.] Indeed. And Grimlock is a prime candidate. Hard to get away from that even when I like Grim.

Then it's somebody else, so at least you don't need to go chase your friend down?

[Never works. Never is good.]

Maybe we will meet one day, I think I would like that. [He has a thing for unusual friendshiops.] Besides, if you like him I'm sure he can't be that bad.

A small consolation indeed.

I think you would change your mind when you did meet him, but then, maybe not. [Giving Knock Out a wink, Elita shook her helm.] Let's just get this dealt with first.

Maybe I will but until now...[He shrugs as a reply, still smiling.] Be careful, I wouldn't like to see you around my medbay anytime soon.

As careful as I can. I promise the only reason you'll find me in the medbay is if I'm escorting someone else there.

[Elita gives a brief little salute and a grin.]

Sounds good then.

See you, miss.
