"Service elevator in the back still works. Fire exit is down to the right but the door's more cramped."

[He had the widest grin.]

"Brilliant~!" [Rewind did NOT hold back the sarcasm.]

"I got a feeling you'll come around. Keep in touch. You know- On the Road, On the Air?" [Blaster tapped what his comm would be] "Thought maybe I should take a break from driving around for a bit..."

"See- you know what you're doing. We can pay you- make it worth your while. Something from before the war. Bots and cons. No fighting, just a hell of a good time, good drinks, good music. Don't you guys ever miss something like that?"
November 14, 2025 at 10:48 AM
"We had a...business idea. Something low-key. Faction-neutral. Something everyone could enjoy.
But we need someone who can work with the more basic materials we got here on this planet. That's where you come in, Mister chemist. We know who you are."

[Rewind spoke up]
"Aw slag...he made a face."

"Huh? What's wrong with it?" [Blaster took a sip] "Look we were lucky to find some copper in the walls...could have taken more time to refine the standard grade into a nicer state but...we were rushing it. What would you suggest, personally?"

"Ha! Ok, got me there...Tell you what- we'll take off the cuffs. All you gotta do is enjoy a drink with us."

[He gestured to the energon cube in front of him. On second glance- it looked odd. There was some sort of blue shimmer in it...copper fragments-? It smelled sweet.]

Hey man don't bring me into any bitlet drama
November 14, 2025 at 7:34 AM
[He narrowed his optics]

"So what exactly are you assisting your team with?"
November 14, 2025 at 6:02 AM
[Blaster gave Serina a look]

“Dunno…that didn’t sound like much of a story. And here me and my boys are spilling out tanks…you think you can motor out of here just like that?
You heard the lady- fair’s fair. I wanna hear why you’re on earth, too. And I got all the time in the world.”
November 13, 2025 at 2:09 PM
"We thought a peaceful way to reach across would do everyone some good. It's not like command cares that much anyway...figure cons of all bots should know about leadership who send you out to fight for them and don't care if you come back in one piece...what's the harm in this?"
November 13, 2025 at 12:00 PM
[Rewind spoke this time]

"Well frag us for wanting to try something to help everyone forget about the war for just a little while. It's just a way to defrag after a long day..."

[Blaster spoke again]

"This planet...these people dind't ask us to bring our fight to their home." [...]
November 13, 2025 at 12:00 PM
"Made a few friends along the way. Figured- folks can enjoy a good song no matter what faction they're fighting for. So we made the phone line neutral. Thought we might help folks connect like we were trying to. It was just a little extracurricular project outside of work. Got it?" [he leaned back]
November 13, 2025 at 9:11 AM
"Communication with command has been...sparse. Me n the boys got bored- we got real into this planet's culture. The music they've got here scratched those circuits. So- We thought we could find a better way to socialize with the locals without getting caught on our mission." [...]
November 13, 2025 at 9:11 AM
"You really shouldn't do that- this isn't a slumber party." [He sighed.]

"You heard earlier- I'm Blaster. I've got a small crew here." [He was apprehensive still- his information measured.]

"I was stationed here for surveillance on a...troop of particular interest."[...]
November 13, 2025 at 9:11 AM
[Blaster seemed nonplussed. If not a little irritated.]

"If I recall- you grabbed her first. I was trying to de-escalate...though I don't suppose you'd've wanted to just chit-chat over the radio line..."

[He sat down.]

"We got nothing but time to talk now, so...you might as well start singing."
November 13, 2025 at 7:59 AM
“I gotta take precautions is what I’m saying. Let’s just be cool,
Ok?”
November 12, 2025 at 9:00 AM
[the big red bot came stomping into view, taking assessment.]

“So…feel more interested in talking things out now?”

[He set a familiar pink cube with a straw angled out of it just in front of Oil Slick’s face]

“I told you I don’t want trouble. But you snatched her up and made a mess and…well”[…]
November 12, 2025 at 9:00 AM
[the place looked like some dusty warehouse basement. Wires strewn everywhere, boxes piling up with forgotten titles of an 8-bit yesteryear lining the walls. Scraps of neon pattern carpet still clung to the floor. The lion-shaped cassette was sniffing his face.]

“Uh, boss? He’s up!” He ran off
November 12, 2025 at 7:06 AM
[It definitely wasn't how he'd wanted their first meeting to go.]

"Look, first off- I'm really sorry this happened...y-you're right...and I shouldn't have tangled you up in this. I can explain, just- I need to get this guy secured...He's harmless right now- come with me?"

[He reached out his servo

[Blaster slapped the stasis cuffs onto the 'con for good measure- making sure if he did wake up then he wouldn't be a problem. Finally, he stood up to address the human.]

"Hey...Serena, right?"

[He rubbed the back of his neck. They hadn't been this close before] [...]
November 8, 2025 at 9:30 AM
[His digits aimed right for the key spots in Oil Slicks's fuel lines to trigger a reboot.]
November 5, 2025 at 10:59 AM
[His fuel lines ran cold when he heard the scream. He had to be fast- there was no telling what that con was doing to her!
He latched onto the building, peering over the edge. Rewind handed him a pair of stasis cuffs- the guard hadn't left him totally unequipped- and leaped over the edge-[...]]
November 5, 2025 at 10:59 AM
"We need to approach without being seen so we can take him by surprise before he can grab the civilian again...and I owe that civilian a huge apology..."

[He scaled down the side of the building, careful to sneak down rows of darkened shipyard.]
