Hmm, two things!

First: I think we seem to be missing two other Starscreams! A skinny silver one and a big pink one, has anyone seen them around? It's always a pity when I lose, ah, associates, so it'd be nice to know if they're offlined or not.

[Because their loss has a huge emotional impact on him.

Okay next order of business.]

Now, second: I have recently come across some paint and I imagine, with all the projects going on and all, that some of you may be interested in acquiring some? Of course you are, silly question! As it turns out, I have some things I need to find, so how about we help each other out hm? As organics like to say: I scratch your back and you scratch mine?

So whaddya say?

[First things first:] What colors of paint and what do you want in exchange?

[And now, high-priorities dealt with...] Hm, more people are missing? [And his own Starscream, at that. Curious.]

Oh I've got all sorts of colours and paint types~ Just specify which kind and I'll see if I have it.

[Swindle doesn't disagree with your priorities Knock Out, business is always more important.]

They do tend to come and go don't they?

Kinda too bad actually.

I need chassis paint. Cybertronian for preference, but I'll take what I can get~ Red and white, black. I could use a bit of gold... Maroon and pink, too, if you've got them, but I can make do for everything with red if it's good paint in a good quantity.

[Not only is this business for KO, it's Serious Business.]

It's a bit..... inconvenient, that's for sure.

Hmm I wish I had more Cybertronian paint, but I only have it in two shades of red, and one in white. I have copious amounts of black though, high quality earth stuff, so it shouldn't be too much of a difference. Gold I have, maroon too. Pink you'll have to mix yourself to get your desired colour.

Losing customers is always a tragedy.

[That's better that KO was hoping, honestly.] I'll need to see the exact colors before I agree to anything. And you still haven't said what it is you're looking for in exchange~.

Ah, now isn't that a universal truth? [It's been a long time since KO's had customers, but he can still sympathize.]

Well that can be arranged! We could conduct our business in person, it should be simple enough. As for what I want...

Well, nothing outrageous of course! Just scrap metal, welding tools, and a hundred or so bolts of a certain size. Things like that. If you happen to come across wires and an energy source somewhere, well that would be wonderful! Any one of these will make me happy, so your choice!

I think I can manage to find at least something you'll want. What size bolts? And what sort of scrap are you looking for? Big pieces, little? Are you just going to smelt it down, or are you planning to use it as is?

So YOU'RE holding the paint hostage.

What's your price.

Your soul

Haha just kidding! Actually I'm looking for a few things and I was going to exchange a few things for them! For you though, since you're an organic, how about a job? I'm sure there's some use I can put you to.

Well, my schedule's pretty clear since my last job fell through. Whatcha need?

Well... I might need smaller hands such as yours to... help me out with a little project of mine. The less questions asked the better, it'll be our little secret. Do this for me, and I'll give you all the paint you could ask for!

What do you think? If I were you, I'd take this marvellous little deal, I don't offer them often.

Hmm...Don't think I'm so easily roped in, buster. What's the project?

I'm not sticking my hand in a cave full of chainsaws, if you get my drift!

Well, let's just say it'll be a huge use for both me and the community! I haven't got a name for it yet, since I'm sort of building it from scratch. Rest assured that nothing bad will happen to you as long as we take the proper precautions!

I can't think of anyone more qualified than you do do this for me, otherwise I wouldn't have asked~

["Qualified" indeed.]

Qualified, huh? You sure know how to sweet talk a lady, don't you~

[Well, if it gets too dangerous she can always just opt out...]

Okay, mister. I'm in.

[grumble] We discussed business some days ago. And like I said, I'll offer my services - as I have nothing of value that would be of use to you, I'm sure - in exchange for any red or orange paint you may have on you. I'm not sure what exactly makes up the paint humans use [2-Pack? Acrylic? What is this wizardry?], but if it can be applied to vehicles and is durable, I'll take it.

Ah yes you, I remember you!

I happen to have various shades of red and orange paint. For whatever reason I happen to have a lot of earth-based paints, but it should serve it's purpose just fine! Do you have a preference of what kind of paint you need? Acrylic? Nitrocellulose Lacquer? And I'm guessing you want clearcoat paint?

[taking a moment to debate his choices - neither he's entirely that familiar with (it's sort of obvious with his crap paint job) but...] Let's go for the nitrocellulose lacquer. Acrylic sounds like it may chip easily, and that's exactly the type I'd like to avoid. Ah, clearcoat, yes, since you have it.

Now to discuss what I can offer you: I'm a medic, and fairly skilled in most of my fields. Neurology, electrology, scintillology, corpology, et cetera. If any of my skills may come in handy for you...

[ooc: hohum, I made all of those up, save neurology - but basically he's saying: brain, circuits and wiring, spark, body]

Ah excellent choice good sir! I'll have it ready for you if you want to pick it up, though I'm perfectly willing to deliver if you're too busy.

[Well well, don't you sound useful. Too bad you look like an Autobot.]

You wouldn't happen to have any tools lying around would you?

On me, no. The supplies here are... limited. As I'm sure you know. Were there any tools in particular you had in mind?

Uh, skinny silver one was supposed to meet me at Megatronus' temple, but he never showed up. [Sounds worried.] Breakdown's still missing too....

Oh, ah, what are you looking for?

Hm, that's too bad! I had business with both of them, so it's kinda unfortunate that they'd disappear like that.

What am I looking for? Oh this and that, nothing too difficult to find, they're just tedious to look for.
