[[inevitable] Video | LOCKED from Tarn]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Before, Ambulon's shoddy red-white paint job mostly consisted of scratches, patches, and a few grooves. Now, however, most of his true colors are showing through on his chest and down his right arm, splattered with chipping white. Been too busy, too stressed, not caring anymore - whatever you wish to believe, as it's probably a likely combination of all three. Nonetheless, he does look stressed, if not irritated, annoyed, and... a little scared.]

I'm not sure who I go to for this specific request, but I am in need of a weapon. I don't suppose we have any of those lying around? [He's too on edge to even smirk at his own weak joke.] I don't even think we have any rules on firearm possession on this Cybertron, so I like to believe I don't have to trudge through paperwork in order to get one. [The hesitation is an unspoken "I'll steal something if I must."]

I figure, however, that those who possess the means of attaining a weapon would be those affiliated with the local law enforcement.

I'd really prefer going about this the more "legal" way, instead of resorting to the black market - or the equivalent here - or speaking to the Firstforged. Considering the fact there are psychopaths still running rampant, I doubt they'd offer much in way of protection. [The word burns with embarrassment.]

[a beat]

Also, I highly recommend avoiding Tarn. And for the police officers - if you do attempt to apprehend him, you'd best do so in an organized pack with all the force you've got. [He's not gonna admit you'd probably fail, however, because that's not good mojo.]

Who is this Tarn anyway? Aside from attempting to be the Decepticons new poster boy.

[Sorry, Ambulon but....]

I'm not sure how a weapon you're unfamiliar with will help.

Give you a gun, after what you managed to do with a car?

[SNERK.]

Mech'd have to be crazy.

[...or Whirl.]

[winged_knight]

[This is an astonishingly good question, one that Wing imagines is still hotly debated.]

I can't really speak to the gun request as I'm not terribly fond of them myself, but I can at least offer some self defense training if that would help bring you peace of mind?

Never thought I'd hear a medic want a weapon so badly.


Police force could provide ya, but...if ya need help, I'm no stranger to firearms.

[This is locked mostly because Jetfire would prefer if this didn't become common knowledge... and yes, he's more careful about this than his past as a Decepticon or his... connection... with Starscream.]

Depending on what you want, I should be able to provide some sort of weapon... or weapons. I'm mostly limited due to the fact of lacking in parts, standard or easily custom made or not, but I have a small set-up.

[He shakes his helm.]

It might not be exceedingly quick, however.

[He gives Ambulon an even, evaluating stare. Not judging or even questioning, just... there.]

I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me what you need them for, however.

[If he's truthful or not, though...]

[sciencetank]

What sort of specifications are you looking for?

[As... he starts typing away at something off-camera. Apparently he's getting started whether he gets specs or not.]

I don't recommend using a weapon you never used before. I will assign you more protection while we work on the Tarn issue.

Could you tell me all you know about him?

[megaton]

[He's been hearing a great deal about this 'Tarn' issue, lately.]

I can see how becoming the Autobot would incite his ire.

However, since you are working with me, I'd prefer that he not kill you.

[Slow OR fast.]

Vector did pass along what we'd need to feel comfortable helping you guys with the whole policing business.

[lifepersists]

[ Ambulon, he is worried about you. ]

What can I do to help? You can borrow my gun, if you want... I'm not sure how effective it would be.

[ DJD is... well. He knows how DJD are. ]

I'm not really a combatant but I do know a thing or two about shooting. I can help protect you.
