"To the pits with this circus." Shunt shakes his head, following Cutter and Shimmer. "If this is how this unit will be, I'm going home and hiding the population under the damn mountains.."

There was always one... Shimmer stopped, looking back and frowning at Farshot, before looking to Cutter and Shunt. "Go on, I'll get Farshot," she said lowly.

Leaving them to head on, she walked over to where Farshot was getting told off by Cavalier and Blastcap. "Farshot, is it?" the fembot turned on the charm, a smile on her face as she fently laid a hand on his arm. "I was hoping to get a chance to talk to you. Why don't you join me for a drink, and let Security handle this, hmm?"

General Havoc wrote:Cavalier stared at Farshot for a moment with an expression like disbelief.

"Take a look at this room," he said. "Look at the blast pattern on that wall, and the shrapnel buried in it. You've got sensors, scan the energy signatures. This was a fusion cannon did the business, one fired from outside a sealed room. I don't have a slagging fusion cannon."

"I didn't choose to make this one physical, Farshot. Deathstrike did. And I will be damned to the pits if I sit down and take the consequences of being shot at because that slagging sonofabitch doesn't know how to knock."

Farshot's expression did not change in the least. "I'm aware of your loadout, Cavalier. Your lack of fusion cannon does not explain why you drew your weapon on a teammate."

Lys wrote:"You are making a fool out of yourself, Farshot," Blastcap's voice was still serene. "None of your words bear any relevance, so be quiet and be gone."

Again, Farshot's expression did not change as he glanced at Blastcap, once she'd begun to speak. "Your opinions have no relevance to my choices, especially when your opinions created a situation."

Though he did not look away from Blastcap and Cavalier to reply to Shimmer, a small smile appeared on his faceplate at her suggestion. "Once I am certain Security is handling it effectively, I would be honored to. Until then, here I stand."

The sheer stupidity of that statement made her wonder if he was Ramjet's brother, but Shimmer simply giggled. "Breakout trained them very well, I assure you," she told Farshot, never dropping the grin. "But they work more effectively when they dont' have non-involved bots getting in their way and making their jobs harder."

She pressed lightly on his arm, a gentle request to turn and leave. "Come on, let's get to know each other better," Shimmer offered.

Blastcap's face contorted in complete disgust on hearing Farshot's latest inanities. She turned away from from him, shaking her head. It was clear to Blastcap that she was dealing with a self-important arrogant twit. She knew from experience that there was no point in discoursing with him any further. It would only lead to further aggravation. From now on she would remain distant but professional toward him.

Shellshock frowned. Some people didn't get the hint it seemed. He looked over at Shimmer, Farshot, and to a lesser extent Cavalier.

"My order are to clear out anyone who is not involved in this investigation from the premises. That means you Farshot, as well as Shimmer. I suggest you leave before I throw you out and then write a report on your disobeying orders."

The rather tall bot looked at Cavalier then. "And I'd suggest you don't say anything that could make anything worse. And don't get pissy at me, I'm trying to keep your ass from getting in any more fire. Just answer the questions that are asked and leave these other bots to me, alright?"

Farshot said nothing in response while he continued his even gaze at Blastcap and Cavalier, though his smile did widen slightly. Blastcap's irritation finally spilling over into her behavior made Farshot smile slightly more, and Shellshock's arrival and announcement caused a full smile to appear on his faceplate.

"Very well - I leave them to you, Shellshock; let me know if you want data on either of them," Farshot said finally as he uncrossed his arms, looking somewhat more relaxed than before.

A moment later, he turned to look at Shimmer. "Now, Shimmer - I believe you suggested Energon drinks?"

Ignoring Farshot for the moment, Cavalier turned to Shellshock, saying nothing for a moment as he considered the situation with a scowl on his face.

"Fine," he said at last. "Let's get this over with."

LadyTevar · Post by **LadyTevar** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:50 pm

Shimmer took the moment as it was given, and gladly lead Farshot out of the room and down the hallway to where Cutter and Shunt were waiting for her. "Yes, I think it's a great idea, someplace where we can relax and get to know each other without blowing holes in doors."

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:01 pm

"Drink? Like chugging liquid Energon?" Shunt raised a brow at Shimmer as e followed out. "New to me. But I can't deny I'm running on backup power; hence the lack of paint. Kinda came through the atmosphere without control."

Walking alongside the smaller 'bot, Farshot smiled again. "Oh, there are times when the very best way of introducing yourself is by blowing a hole in a door. Perhaps not for meeting teammates though."

"Yes, I heard about that," Farshot replied, turning to address the smaller flier. "Look on the bright side - getting all your paint burnt off means this is a fresh beginning. In more ways than one, perhaps."

"So you're the one Deathstrike helped," Shimmer added, taking Shunt by the arm as she kept one arm tucked into Farshot's, so that she was walking between the two Decepticons yet leading the way to the elevator and down to one of the many little relaxation lounges within the Fortress that served mechanicals.

"You are looking a little gray, so you should go slow on the drinks, Shunt. Too much too soon might overload you." It was a friendly warning, from one comrade to another, and somewhat odd coming from a Autobot-branded Fembot to a Decepticon.

"Cutter?" her optics twinkled as she looked over at the Autobot following. "If you get this round, I'll buy the next two."

Cutter put his hand to his face, smiling and shaking his head as the fembot led the two cybertronians to the lounge, him behind them. As Shimmer looked back at him, he chuckled.

"Hey, that promise was just for you, but ok."

"Yea, D-Stryke caught me on the way down. Not the first time we've worked together; he was ground attack, I was air superiority." Shunt shrugged casually. "A bot I would trust my spark too, and have. As for grey.. Heh. THere have been Empty's more charged than me. Burned out all I got getting here from the world I've been on. Still, someone has to be here to bring the rain."

Grindstone was lost in the simulated firing range. Here, he was alone, with his weapons and the target. Today, his target was a well remembered opponent from the past - Grimlock.

The Dynobot commander was in his tank form, at current, advancing to the line - for the fourth time. Grindstone, for this run, had shifted his own alt-mode, and brought his main cannon to bear.

He was about to fire the first simulated shell, when his internal comm went off.

The momentary interruption was just enough to distract Grindstone, and give the simulated Grimlock the opening it needed. Sensors registered simulated hits on his forward glacial plate by Grimlock's main weaponry.

That annoyed Grindstone, the blow was enough to put his main cannon out of commission, and thus, leave him weaponless. "Grimlock" had won.

"This is Grindstone, go ahead."

"Grindstone, you've orders to report back to MilCom and rendezvous with Shellshock, ASAP. Commander Breakout's orders."

Grindstone was puzzled by this, but he had his orders, "Very well. Request location of Shellshock."

As the Autobot's location was relayed to him, Grindstone was already leaving the Firing Range, waving away the rest of his allotted time for the booth.

It was several minutes before he was back at Breakout's Finger, and in a lift, heading towards Shellshock.

"Air superiority, huh?" Farshot turned to look at the smaller flier in mild surprise. "We may just have to have a conversation at some point."

"Considering that Cutter is also a flyer, you three might have a lot more to talk about than you think," Shimmer said with a smile. It wouldn't be the first or the last time she'd sit with a group of flyers and listen to them compare notes and brag.

At least this time she could openly be an Autobot....

The two bots in question were separated and taken to different offices, they were informed that their statements would be recorded and asked to retell what happened in their own words. Counterstrike spoke to Cavalier, alone in the office. Likewise, Longshot was alone with Blastcap.

Lys · Post by **Lys** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:14 pm

Blascap simply restated what she had told Longshot minutes earlier, and as before did not elucidate further on what matter that she had been discussing with Cavalier.

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 4:46 pm

"I was wondering when the Autobots would get serious about fielding flyers." Shunt admitted as he looked over Cutter. "Now, Shimmer. What -is- it you do? Because I could swear I've seen your chassis before."

"Not an option Blastcap. This has turned into an incident. Just tell us what happened." Longshot instructed.

LadyTevar · Post by **LadyTevar** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 7:30 pm

Shimmer gave the Decepticon flyer a sly grin. "You may have seen someone who looked similar, yes," she admitted with a chuckle. "Someone with a Decepticon brand, who was simply a courier running errands. Not a Autobot, of course. You'd have blasted an Autobot."

The false innocence in her teasing matched the grin on her faceplate. "For Decepticons, you were really easily fooled at times."

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 8:49 pm

Shellshock was waiting patiently in the hallway when he saw Grindstone approaching. The 'bot managed to keep himself from groaning. Maybe he should have joined Shimmer on "keeping the flyboy's busy" duty.

The tall bot nodded his head as the Decepticon approached. "Grindstone. Been awhile." He was pretty sure the last time they'd seen each other they'd been shooting at each other, but times apparently changed, even if loyalties didn't.

Post by **Dark Silver** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:02 pm

The purple and grey Decepticon nodded to Shellshock, "It has been many Vorns, Shellshock."

Grindstone's reply was cordial - there was no trace of hostility to it. AAfter all, Shellshock was a foe met on the battlefield many times in the past, always fought with honor - something Grindstone well respected, "I must admit, I am at a loss on why I was ordered to seek you out."

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 9:10 pm

One of Shellshock's eyebrows perked at that. "Really? Boss man probably just wants to keep me busy while he attends to a little incident that occurred."

The bot shrugged. "You running low? I just got back from a mission and haven't gotten a chance to take in some energon yet."
