Outside the Safe House

Repugnus looked at Grotusque and grinned. "Whew. And for a nanoklik there I thought I've lost my touch... normally safe houses and meeting points are the second-least-obvious building in the location, with little traffic. But then, not everyone are hunters like us. So..."

Repugnus indicated the safe house, "This is it, then?" Repugnus walked up to the safe house and raised his hand to knock. Remembering that his hands are schyte-like pincers, Repugnus transformed into robot mode and knocked the door.

Maccadams

Whirl cocked his head (eye, whatever) as Snarl sat down. "Hey, Snarl. What've you been up to lately?" The Wrecker said.

Snarl turned toward Whirl "Not much, Have you seen other dinobots?" then downed the drink causing him wince at how strong it was. The drink actually put him in a buzz.

Maccadams

Whirl chuckled as Snarl winced at his drink. "Couldn't take the drink?" he teased. Turning to Stepper, Nightbeat, Road Rage, Tap Out and Glyph, the Wrecker said in a clearly drunken voice, "Well, I'm sauntering off to the bar to mix some cocktails up, be right back."

The Wrecker's gangly frame unfurled and he stumbled towards the bar, knocking over a waitress-bot in the process as well as crashing through a couple of patrons, which were unnerved by Whirl's less-than-friendly look.

The Wrecker stepped behind the bar, the bartender (not Maccadams) giving him a withering look. "Don't blow the place up."

"Relax, relax, if anything bad happens, put it on my tab." Whirl said, and as such, began to pull all sorts of colourful liquids and began to mix them in a large beaker. "Lead sulfide crystals... hmm... needs more punch. What do we have here in the acid sections? Phosphate... Sulphuric... Hydrochloric... Ah, what the hell, I'll just take a few of everything! ... 100% Ethanol... Lead fillings... vintage Energon..."

Snarl watched whirl watched Whirl go up to the bar to mix a drink and thought a strong drink would hit the spot so he got up and went over to the bar and said "Gimme bottle of strongest drink you got" and waited as the bartender got him his drink.

Maccadams

"Hmmm.... what'll I use? Pure, radioactive Sodium tend to blow up on contact with liquids. On the other hand, zinc doesn't have that punch..." Whirl shrugged and tossed a chunk of sodium from his left claw into the bubbling, reddish-yellow concoction he was brewing.

"Oh, it needs something explosive!" Whirl cheerily said, as he pulled out one of the incendiary missiles clamped onto his frame, and inserted it into the increasingly violent brew. The brew literally burst upwards, and scorched the ceiling. Whirl pulled out a metal rod and began to stir the 'cocktail'. The Wrecker's optic brightened in delight when he pulled out the metal rod to find that the part of the rod that had been submerged in the cocktail had dissolved (or melted. Whirl didn't particularly care which). The bubbling liquid itself had begun to eat through the large beaker, but Maccadams' beakers were made to hold strong drinks such as these.

"I'm calling this personal creation the Madmech's Drunken Creation." the Wrecker announced jovially. "There's a little bit of everything in it. Anyone up for some?" Whirl said, pouring part of the liquid into a glass and handing it over to Snarl. As the liquid began to eat through the glass, Whirl said to the Dinobot, "Drink it fast, before it eats through the glass. I would drink it myself, but I don't have a mouth."

The bartender grunted. "You're paying for anything you melt with that bubbling brew of yours. Oh, and I want the recipe."

"Sure thing, big guy." Whirl said jovially, tossing the bartender a credit chip with his free claw.

Snarl took the "cocktail" and the bottle the bartender gave him and downed both in one shot, something Snarl would almost instantly regretted. The mix of the to drinks caused Snarl fall back through a table twirling, his fire breath going the whole time.

Safe House

Smokescreen watched Repugnus and Grotusque through the security monitors, listening carefully for any of the code-phrases that would indicate that Grotusque considered his former teammate a threat. None were forthcoming, and so, when the Monsterbot reached forward to knock on the door, Smokescreen tapped the button that would cause it to slide open.

Safe House

Grotusque moved forward.

"In we go."

Maccaddams:

Nightbeat: -having watched what Whirl was putting in his creation, and understanding enough about chemistry to know better, ducking under the table-

Road Rage: "He hasn't blown the bar up yet."

Nightbeat: "Probably more due to dumb luck than anything."

Stepper: "When did Snarl get fire breath?"

Nebulon: -bleeps and whistles-

Stepper: "Yess, but just drinking something doesn't automatically give you a flamethrower."

Nightbeat: -staring at the underside of the table- "What I can't figure out is where all of this chewing gum came from......."

Whirl looks at Snarl and laughs. "Don't drink it all in one go... You'd probably melt your insides... " Looking at his cocktail, and ignoring Nightbeat when the detective ducks, Whirl whistled, "this should be good. Wanna try one sip, Stepper?"

Safe House

Repugnus entered the house when Grotusque told him to, and his optics scanned the place for Smokescreen. "Where are you?" he said, careful not to use Smokey's real name.

Selkadoom · Post by **Selkadoom** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 5:37 pm

Snarl finaly stoped breathing fire and sat up. At this point calling Snarl hammered would a rather ludicris understatement as he stood up he said " GrImLocK Im hOme." Then he transformed and started to hit everything in his reach.

Maccaddams:

Road Rage looked under the table. "Aren't you going to come-"

Nightbeat: -grabs Road Rage's arm, drags her under the table just as Snarl's fist demolishes the back of the booth-

Road Rage hit the floor face first. "Guh.... when's the last time they mopped in here?"

Nightbeat: -prodding one of the fossilized pieces of gum with a finger- "Probably when these tables were installed."

Shuttlecraft Hangers, Autobase

As soon as Prowl arrived at the Autobase Shuttlecraft Hangers, he was greeted by one of the compound’s personnel.

Following the usual exchange of salute, Prowl was escorted inside the building and to the shuttle bays. Today, the Shuttlebay was closed off to low ranking staff and civilians.

Inside, Prowl found himself standing upon a balcony that overlooked a group of small, slightly battle-worn, science vessels and warships...

(OOC: Yeah, I’m dragging this one out. Figured I’d follow up on it in the new, soon to be added, Iacon thread. It'll gobetter there.)

Iacon City Hall, The Auction

“Well, I think we’re just about done here,” Ga’mede told Magnificus. “Shall we go?”

“Mmm, it's due time we do, yes. I got what I wanted,” Magnificus replied. “It was an evening well spent. I even learned a thing or two, as well."

"...The Alliance for Peace, eh?” he pondered as they headed toward the exit of the building.

(OOC: Did anyone else need to buy anything? Let me know, otherwise I'm done here.)
______________________________

Iacon Security Service HQ, Red Alert’s Office

Red Alert sat at his desk, in a usual fashion looking over police report he had just received when a chime sounded from his office door.

“It’s open!” he called out.

The door slid open and five officers filed in and stood neatly in row in front of the security director’s desk.

“You called to see us, sir?” one of the officers inquired.

“I did, Streetstar. Thanks for coming.”

Red Alert placed the datapad down, stood up and walked to the front of the desk. He casually leaned against the top of the desk and said, “Just thought I would personally thank you five for volunteering for this project, and to wish you all good luck before you go off to be reformatted. The ISS really appreciates it. I really appreciate it.

He moved his head left to right to acknowledge the five mechanoid standing before him.

"You're not being forced to commit to this, okay? Just wanted you guys to know that. If any of you are having second thoughts, we’ll understand. We won't hold against it you. There’s a lot to live up to, after all.”

“I think I speak for Fly-Up, Streetstar, Sparkride and Safety here (OOC: Well, that didn’t sound forced, like, at all), but we have all given it serious consideration,” another officer answered in a rather campy, faux-dramatic tone. “If it serves for the betterment of our security, we are more than happy to commit ourselves. Though it is a daunting task, we will do our best to live up to our predecessors to whom we owe this project to. It is an honor!”

Red Alert tilted his head. “...Err, umm, yeeeah, okay. Thank you, (Fire) Chief. I’m glad to hear that, because I’ve already spoken to Hotspot and Streetwise. They will be overseeing your progress.”

“Captain Hotspot and Detective Streetwise? Really?” Fly-Up said enthusiastically. “Wow, that would make them, like, the originals. And they’ll be training us? I can’t wait!”

“Yeah? Well, just don’t go calling them ‘the originals’, okay?” Red Alert told him. “You needn’t make your commanding officers uncomfortable. You will all still be you.”

Red Alert glanced over at a clock sitting on his desk.

“Looks like you guys have an appointment to run off to, so I won’t hold you up any longer,” Red Alert said. “Get going and good luck.”

“Sir!” all five officers dutifully replied.

Maccadams

Whirl was more annoyed than afraid when Snarl went beserk. "Now, now... don't need to be a critic, my friend... I know this is my first time..." he said jovially. "Stepper, Tap Out, take him, but don't hurt him!" Whirl pulled out his null ray emitter and shot off a few blasts towards Snarl, intending to lock the Dinobot's systems.

He jumped up onto the bar and let loose a beam from his paralyzo-box, intending to paralyze the Dinobot. "Down, boy!"

Selkadoom · Post by **Selkadoom** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 11:58 pm

Snarl shrugged off Whirls attacks and turned back into robot mode screaming " DecEPtiConS eVerYwheRe!" and drew his energo-sword and started swinging for the fences hitting quite few bystanders then he hopped the bar and slashed down the poor bartender before hopping onto the bar and slashing at Whirl

"Hey!" Whirl cried as Snarl attacked him, and ducked under the blade swing. "Everyone's a critic."

Opens fire with paralyzo-box at Snarl's body to paralyze him, fires null-ray at Snarl's blade to deactivate it. "Tap Out, bring 'I'm down!"

Selkadoom · Post by **Selkadoom** » Sat Oct 10, 2009 2:46 am

Snarl yelled as his blade de-activated and transformed back into dino mode as Whirls weapons were having more of an effect on his robo mode. he turned towards Nightbeats table and demonstrated his little known ability to shoot lasers from his nose holes.

(OOC: check the wiki)

Maccaddams:

Nightbeat: -ducking low as the blasts hit the tabletop and send it flying-

Road Rage scowled. "We're security. Shouldn't we be doing something about this?"

Nightbeat: "Actually, we're part of Prime's bodyguard unit."

Road Rage got to her feet. "If somebody doesn't stop him, he could thrash his way to Prime's office." With that, she locked both of her magnabomb launchers onto Snarl, priming her plasma ejector rifle, aiming it at Snarl's head.

Nightbeat: "Ironhide'd have Omega Supreme step on him before he got halfway there. Now set to stun." -pulling his plasma blaster, sets it to stun, fires at Snarl-

Road Rage's scowl deepened. "I'm security. We're not supposed to have stun settings."

Stepper: -looks over at Whirl as he tries to figure out the best place to shoot the rampaging Dinobot without either killing him or destroying any more of the bar- "Shouldn't we be saying that?"

Nebulon: -locked onto Stepper's mount point in Blaze Cannon mode, whistles in agreement-

**********************
Outside the Auction Hall:

Hot Rod: -looking at the deed- "I wonder why nobody else bid on it."

Tracks: -shrugs- "Maybe it's in the rad zone?"

Hot Rod: "I doubt it's that gnarly."

Tracks: -giving Hot Rod a withering look- "You know what I mean."

Hot Rod: "I know. Come on, let's go check the place out. If I'm going to create jobs, I have to see what I've got to work with."

Hot Rod and Tracks: -transform, head for the shut down factory city that Hot Rod just purchaced-

Whirl's optic blinked as he answered Stepper. "Stun settings? We don't have stun settings! Only stun weapons." Whirl said, patting the paralyzo box fondly. "Still, if the Dino gets out of control, we gotta kill it."

Saying so, the Wrecker let loose two incendiary missiles and another burst of null rays.
