shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

... I mean that idea isn't bad. We just have no way to guarantee any random species with interact with will be one of those.

 

Also no way to guarantee any approaching unknown is nonhostile. Better to be safe.

 

I am literally never unarmed, Congessi and I am quite good at quick drawing, sleight of hand, covertly trapping a space and anticipating conflict from body language.
If I'm with you on the mission there is absolutely nothing to worry about in the direction of possible armed conflict.

 

I have weapons concealed in multiple compartments.

What are we talking about?

 

Dropping out of the sky on someone isn't safe!!!!
Ref got hurt!!

The necessity of hostile gestures during initial contact with individuals of potentially alien cultures.
Or you know, my dearest Sweetspark dropping onto a local with intent to rip his fuel lines out with his teeth because he doesn't have a solid grip on his battle protocols.

And has still not sought out medical assistance. It's fairly frustrating. Maybe you can alk sense into him.

 

...mhmmm. Sure. Nichrome is completely infallible and sees everything everyone does ever.

 

Only because Cinderblitz is on fire, that's not normal, Ref is competent >=[[

=[[[

 

I never claimed I'm infallible but my primary combat engagements during the war were as Medic Guard. And you can ask Inject about how well I did that.

 

Who the frag's Inject and why should I trust their word?

 

I... can try????
I don't have the supplies to fix his hands though.
I already used most of my wires on him and Aurora!!

I never said he wasn't!!!!
I just don't see why we gotta attack people on a peace mission!!

What if word gets out and people start attacking us because they think we'll attack them?

 

Inject used to be my primary medic before I joined the TEAM. Genius surgeon, very creative at problem solving. Steals limbs occassionally. Will try to convince you to add five blasters and a calculator to your new leg every single time. Lovely mech, absolute joy to work with. Quite famous, or rather infamous among some parts of the Decepticons.

 

I meant drag him to a real medic, you bolt. That whole fixing yourselves up thing has to stop or Life Support will cry for real one day.

 

We deal with that then. Honestly the GC's just as full of slag, this "peace mission" is going to end in battle one way or another.

...and again: why should I trust his word? "Famous" and "sensible" =/= "honest with strangers."

 

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Well, at least he can defend himself.

Also, fuel lines? I have wires and lubricant lines but no fuel. So energon is a fuel? Is it like crude oil, or gasoline?

 

It's clear you haven't met Inject. Inject can't tell a lie without giggling like he's in an earth horror flick. That unsettling giggle Reffy likes to play? That's Inject while trying to tell a lie.

 

In its purest form, energon is a mineral found naturally on Cybertron and... invasively on some other worlds. It is also the common name for the fluid comprised primarily of liquid-state mineral energon, as well as many other compounds necessary for our species' development and survival.

Crystalline-state energon is practically pure energy for us, but provides very few of those other compounds and so cannot be used as a sole nutritional source.

 

It's a mineralized chemical with great energetic potential that gets refined into our typically liquid consumable fuel.

 

Ah. Interesting.
