I shall remain convinced that he's an all right chap. It's kind of funny that Blastcap does too, because usually she hates working with the self-righteous types. I guess that as much of a pain in the ass as they are, she respects them. At least the ones who can back up their self-righteousness.

No one said he wasn't all right chap, just a really violent one.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

If Cavalier is the very violent but all right chap, what does that make Shellshock?

Good lord people, Cavalier is not that violent.

Okay, he is that violent, but that's not the point! He is not insane!

Okay, he is insane, but not criminally insane.

SHUT UP!

Trying to catch up, I swear, I am just blug, it'll be less hard for me to post when I get a feel for things.

I wanted to get you guys off Coldrock fast and into the fray... But y'all seem to really like being on Coldrock!

We have found the real reason Megs didn't kill Starscream.
He wanted to keep the gaming group intact.

Damn, ya'll posted fast.
EDIT: Farshot is now capable of thoroughly monitoring both Blastcap and Cavalier for the next week. And no - unless your 'bot has extremely good sensors (like, for example, Perceptor's), you don't see the swarm.

And at 3 in the morning no less... at least it isn't 4 or 5 pages.
By the way, what does being on "Standby" entail? Because I have no fucking clue.

I think the rest of us should just back away and let Breakout handle it. The sooner it's settled, the sooner we can get to the REAL party.

Lady T, I said Shimmer should teach him how to lie. You're an sneaky scout 'bot, saying that you know how to lie is a compliment coming from a Decepticon.

rhoenix, Blastcap has had her fusion charges disarmed since the security team showed up. It also seems kind of unlikely anyone other than an EOD technician could tell the difference between an armed bomb and a disarmed one, and even then only by looking directly. It literally amounts to whether there is power running through the detonator or not. It's like trying to determine whether an ipod is on or off, an ipod inside of a tank filled with other electronics. For starters you have to see through the armour plating, which would require some powerful x-rays. Now this doesn't mean that Blastcap can sneak nuclear weapons past security, an advanced sort of sensor sweep would tell that she's packing some very nasty ordnance, no question about that. Thing is, so are a lot of other Cybertronians. They're built to kill each other, after all, and thus far we've established that Cybertronians take a lot of killing.

I didn't see that in your posts. I can go back and edit.Lys wrote:rhoenix, Blastcap has had her fusion charges disarmed since the security team showed up.
Right now, Blastcap has been thoroughly scanned by scanning robots smaller than a nanometer. They can detect if power is going to a bomb, or if it is not; they can say about how much Energon you have in your tank, height, weight, and ten thousand other things.Lys wrote:It also seems kind of unlikely anyone other than an EOD technician could tell the difference between an armed bomb and a disarmed one, and even then only by looking directly.

I could go off on a tangent about the problems inherent to nanomachinery: The physical constraints of what they can do, the inherent disadvantages of being so tiny, the effects of operating in hostile environments like sunlight and mild breezes. Instead I'm going to say that magic sensor mist is a pretty awesome and versatile power.rhoenix wrote:Right now, Blastcap has been thoroughly scanned by scanning robots smaller than a nanometer.

Though I should note that there is no difference between a detailed enough analysis of someone's neural matrix and reading their minds, so clearly there are limits to what your nanobots can detect. Power going to a bomb? Okay, they can detect that unless frigidmagi says otherwise.

That's fairly accurate. They don't get to read minds, but they're excellent for observation, tracking, and analysis.Lys wrote:Though I should note that there is no difference between a detailed enough analysis of someone's neural matrix and reading their minds, so clearly there are limits to what your nanobots can detect.

Nothing personal rhoenix, but your character went and pushed my character's buttons. She can forgive Cavalier for his anger and Deathstrike for his interruption, but Farshot is beyond annoying to her. On the plus side, because Blastcap is a professional Farshot doesn't have to worry about her neglecting her duties because of personal feelings.

Not only am I willing to manhandle the people that should be leaving and aren't, I am willing to fill out the paperwork for reprimanding them.
