[27 Mar 2014|08:11am] Man: *he's older, late sixties...seventies maybe, but spry and healthy. He has a /huge/ grin on his face as he approaches.* Deckard? McCrane? My name is Nicolai. It's an honor to finally meet you both. Deckard: *nods* The honor is ours, Nicolai. Thank you for coming. I'm afraid our teammates are in bad shape and need your help. Nicolai: We'll do all we can for them. *expression soft and fond* It will be great to see Knight again. I was on his design team with Mitham's grandfather. Mitham: *hauls the gas can over by Deckard, softly patting his leg to let him know it's there.* Deckard: *nods with a grin, starts to comment but Mitham's soft pat distracts him* Oh. Thank you, Mitham. McC: I'm sure Duke will be very happy to see you again too. Nicolai: *motions for them to lead* If you'll take me to them. Mitham: I'll see you guys after breakfast. *will head for the trailer* D/McC: *reflexive action, neither thinking about it – salute in unison*  Roger! Deckard:  This way.  *picks up the gas can, then gets down on hands and knees to crawl back into the barn* McC: *motions for them to go first, he'll follow* 32 comments|post comment

[26 Mar 2014|08:11am] Mitham: ....If you think you can carry him back to my place we can keep digging for another. I took you back in my truck. *in other words, he can carry one mech if Deckard thinks he can carry another and they can head back with at least two tonight, if they can find a second.* Or if you want to take him back to the barn I'll keep searching until you get back. Deckard: *knows he shouldn't leave the boy here alone, it's too dangerous...he /makes/ himself shift over to one side and carefully lay GM out, then gets back to task* Mitham: *nods and will get back to searching* *They'll find J-Roader, Drill Boy, and McCrane throughout the night* It's going to be light soon. We should get these guys out of here before we get caught. Deckard: *nods, puts a hand on J-Roader...which starts up, he nods to himself again, satisfied that at least the AI and /some/ of its other systems are still functioning, despite sitting for so very long* Take Drill Boy in the truck. I'll carry Gunmax, and J-Roader can take McCrane. Mitham: *will need help getting DB to the truck, or he can "borrow" some equipment again. Once everyone is set, they'll head back. He's tired, but he wants to at /least/ get them cleaned up first. He'll turn on the hose and start spraying off GM.* Deckard: *gently settle DB in the bed of the truck himself, then get McC situated, and finally scoop up GM, following Mitham with J-R rolling along behind him – he can /tell/ Mitham's exhausted, can only guess how many hours the boy has been awake now*  Mitham . . . go get some sleep.  I'll get them washed down, then you can start repairs when you're fresh and rested again. 51 comments|post comment

[25 Mar 2014|08:12am] Boy: *accepts the hand, an awed little grin on his face as he pulls himself to his feet* A-are you... are you really Deckard of the Brave Police? Deckard: *nods, sitting back on his heels and saluting* Brave Police Deckard at your service. Pleased to meet you. Boy: *face /splits/ into a grin* W-wow. Oh, wow. This is real! This is really real! They're never going to believe this!! *bouncy fanboy!!* I wonder... *looks up at Deckard* We'll go back to the junkyard tonight to see if we can find any more Brave Police! You'll help, right? Deckard: *looks /STRICKEN/ at that* M-my team... *curls a bit for a moment, hand over his face - there's SO MUCH to deal with and he never got the chance...and now...isn't the time either? Focus, Deckard!...with a shudder, he forces himself to straighten again, refocusing on the boy* We...we were set to be executed. I know I was. What happened after that? What did they do with my team? *glances around* How long has it been? Boy: *expression falls a little, feeling bad for him.* You all were. My grandfather was there that day. That was almost fifty years ago now. I grew up hearing stories about you and your team. I...I never expected to find you, or... to be able to get you working again. .....I'm sorry for your loss. Deckard: *head bows*  Thank you. *looks at him again* /You/ found and repaired me?  *"all by yourself?"* 33 comments|post comment

[24 Mar 2014|08:16am] *The three shy back as he approaches, then /scramble/ as he just reaches to pick one up. He gets hold of P!TC, who goes /still/, trembling faintly. The other two protest that it's rude to just pick someone up like that, put him down!...please...please don't hurt him!* Wolf: *looks P!TC over, gentle with him...* *he'll turn and cross the den to Jendayi, gently setting P!TC by her. He'll go back to the other two. This time, he'll offer his hands rather than just plucking them off their feet.* *P!TC darts around to Jen's other side, crouching down behind her head. The other two shy back again...but then P!S squares his shoulders, wings twitching, and steps forward, P!W skittering up behind him.* Wolf: *softly, as he lifts the two and turns to take them to Jendayi.* I won't harm you. My name is Terris. *gently sets them down by the little girl's side.* P!W: W-what are you? P!S: Warp! P!W: What!? *to P!S…it's a valid question!* 51 comments|post comment

[21 Mar 2014|08:16am] Kage: *it will be a very long ten minutes before he finally lifts a hand to rest of Maru's back. His engine will purr to life. But it will take a long time.* Maru: *he'll be fine, he'll be fine, he just needs to rest and reboot, he'll be fine, give him time – the mantra plays over and over in his mind as he softly rocks his brother's body, oblivious to how much time is passing* *The rest of the team is watching and grieving.  Deckard is /just/ about to stir and drag himself over to Maru to gently try to get him to face reality...when he sees Kage's hand twitch and move* Maru: *stressed engine /sputters/ at the touch, stops and looks down as Kage's engine begins to purr . . . /buzztrill/ as he HUGS his brother to him - softly*  Kagerou . . . Kagerou, can you hear me? 35 comments|post comment

[20 Mar 2014|08:40am] *Maru will break out of the purple mists into sunlight, and for a moment he's alone. And then he'll spot Kage, sprawled on his back like a rag doll on the ground, unconscious...* Maru: *panics* Kagerou! *darts to him, dropping to his knees...hesitates an instant before reaching to touch him - i-is he really here? Did he make it!?* Kage: Hnm... *just a soft noise as he tries to wake. His fingers twitch and the light in his eyes flickers.* Maru: K-kagerou... *gently pulls him into his lap* Kage: *eyes light dimly, cameras focusing on Maru...* Shadowmaru... *voice sounds weak...* Maru: Ah! You made it! *HUGS him!!!* Deckard! Fuel! *The others had bolted after, just now catching up* Deckard: *hurries forward, bringing out his gas can that he's filled with some of the stuff from Zero* Kage: *whole body shivering softly in Maru's arms, as though he were cold. He just stays still in his brother's arms.* Zero: *has been a quiet observer this whole time. But now he'll slip past the other Braves to kneel by Kage. While Maru carefully pours fuel into Kage, he'll start checking him over to see if anything else needs to be done.* Maru: *fuels him, then is /cradling/ his brother, rocking him gently, forehead pressed to Kage's helm* *Deckard is crouched by their side, looking between Zero and the ninja-bots – is Kage all right?? The rest of the team has gathered around as well, GM hanging a little back with Sola still cradled in his hands* 19 comments|post comment

[19 Mar 2014|08:39am] Kage: *as far as he's concerned, at this moment, the others don't exist. It must be kind of amazing to the original four to see him like this, /clinging/ to his brother, face tucked to his shoulder. He doesn't care what they think, he doesn't want to face them yet. A small part of him is afraid to face them. He doesn't hate them, he's watched them all for too long to hate them in any way. Honestly he's come to love all of them for them and not just for their love and acceptance of Maru. But he doesn't want to face them. He's scared. What if they reject him because of what they remember of him? ...he knows he made a /horrible/ first impression on the four Braves and their Boss...* Maru: *clinging for a long moment - it's a miracle, after all these years, suddenly his lost brother is here* .........h-how...? Kage: I don't know...this place, I think. Maru: No, I mean...how did you find us? Have you been here all along? Kage: *soft hufflaugh* I never left you. I'm so proud of you, of all you've done. Maru: *goes /still/ at that...then tucks his face in more* ...K-kagerou... *that means more to him than he would have ever even guessed* Kage: *HUGS, just happy to be /able/ to hug Maru again.* Maru: *CLINGING, voice muffled in his shoulder* Damn, I've missed you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I failed you. Kage: *shakes his head* You didn't fail me. It's /not/ your fault. Maru: I should have saved you.  I should have found you sooner.  Dammit, it's what I was /built/ for!  *information-gathering, infiltration...* Kage: And I wasn't? It was /not/ your fault. Never your fault. I'm sorry you've hurt over this. Maru: *soft keen escapes him – that first and greatest failure has hurt and /driven/ him his whole life* *The others shift, feeling they shouldn't be here, this is so personal…* 25 comments|post comment

Probably slow today, with shit tags... I've cried again a couple times this morning already [18 Mar 2014|08:19am] Zero: *will offer the language device to Deckard and show him how to use it. If she has a... "Mechanical" memory, then it'll give her Japanese and Cybertronian. If her mind and memory is fully organic, it'll be able to pick up from her the language she speaks to download into the bots. It turns out that she's mechanical enough to receive the languages.* Sola: *is still while Deckard waves the device over her, and puts a hand on Nolan to keep her balance as the languages download. Then Deckard can intro her to everyone...except...* What about him? You forgot him. *pointing to whatever she's seeing behind Maru. They still won't see or sense anything.* Maru: ..............? *looks*  Who? Sola: The one behind you. He's been following you since I first saw you. Dmps: ………..Sola-chan, there's no one behind him. Duke:  Unless you're able to see something we can't. 26 comments|post comment

[17 Mar 2014|08:24am] GM: ......... *looks at the cave, looks around, looks at the sky and the setting sun* All right, all right. Guess it's about time to start looking for shelter for the night. *not that he thinks a cave would be safe....at least it's big enough to accommodate him...* Girl: *when he heads that way, she smiles and follows after him. Her companions follow too. She'll find a place where she can climb thee wall and perch closer to eye level with him once he's sitting. In the dark of the cave, her eyes glow.* GM: *looks at her* You know, that can't be healthy... Girl: *has been listening to him talk all day...and proves to be a decent mimic* You know that can't be healthy. *headtilt* GM:  *startles a bit...then snickers*  You have no idea what you just said, do you?  *half-considers "making" her say things that are inappropriate for a little girl to say, just because it'd be amusing, but...he won't* Girl: *his snickers gets a smile from her* Bat: *lets out a distressed sound and goes deeper into the cave* Girl: *looks towards the entrance with a frown.* Fuzz: *settled by some rocks at GM's feet, unconcerned.* GM: *tenses, also looking to the entrance – damn, and him without his weapons…* 29 comments|post comment

[14 Mar 2014|08:20am] Yuuta: *stirs in TC's hand. He wakes slowly, somewhat soothed at hearing Deckard's voice so close.* Deckard... *comes out a murmur.* Stars: *sitting back with a /frown/ as he regards Deckard. That /can't/ be the only reason...it /can't/ be...* Deckard: Maybe . . . maybe he's mistaken about us? I don't kn-Yuuta! *attention /instantly/ going to his partner* TC: *frowns, adjusting his grip on the boy, just in case* Yuuta: *gasps at the feel of fingers wrapping around him. He squirms, not fully awake yet* H-hey! Deckard, wha-? *focuses on TC, seeming to really see him now. Eyes go wide and then expression settles into a defiant glare.* Stars: *watching* Your fleshling has struts, I'll give him that... Deckard:  Yuuta, are you all right?  What happened? 27 comments|post comment

[13 Mar 2014|08:27am] TC: You little /insect/! /You/ won't be harmed, but if you don't surrender, your friend will be taken apart piecemeal. We don't actually need him. Not alive, anyway. Yuuta: *soft sob* Leave him alone! *what does he do?! What does he do?!* TC: ....Skywarp, bring the drone to the storage room. Remove his legs first if you have to to make sure /he/ doesn't escape you. *aloud and in Japanese so the boy hears it...and Warp had BETTER have that language patch in place by now!* Warp: //Got it!// *to Deckard* We're going to go see your little fleshy friend now. Do I get to shoot off your legs or will you come easy? *the grin he gives Deckard says shooting his legs might be kind of fun.* Deckard: *shies back, /scowling/, when yet another of these bastards comes in . . . they're serious about that threat, aren't they?* ....I'll go. *needs to get close to Yuuta before he can try to protect him* Warp: *watching /closely/ as he gets Deckard's other foot free, then hands but keeps them bound in front of him, and then with a VOP, they're in the hall just outside of the storage room. He'll shove Deckard in before he has a chance to orient himself.* Yuuta: D-Deckard! Deckard: NnnaAH! *sensors /completely/ scrambled and balance shot by the teleport, easily knocked off his feet and crumples to the ground* TC: *plants a foot on his back before he can recover, then crouches to press a rifle to the back of his head*  Next move is yours, fleshling. Deckard:  Y-yuuta . . . d-don't . . . 38 comments|post comment

[12 Mar 2014|08:37am] Deckard: We'll talk to Saejima-sama in the morning. *small frown* Has Skywarp regained consciousness yet? Stars: ...no. I'll let you know when he wakes. *looks at TC, studying him...just kind of mentally checking on his second.* //Get some recharge, Thundercracker.// *yes, right here on the roof, under the open sky.* TC: *frowns, looking away - under the sky is wonderful...but out here in the open, surrounded by alien mechs and their insects, and him feeling so vulnerable...but he trusts his trine leader, so he just nods and settles, shutting down as much as he can in the hopes of slipping into recharge* McC: *watching TC in concern, quietly to Stars* Is he going to be all right? Stars: *won't leave him, and will wake TC if he has to leave him.* Yes. *he has to be. TC is /his/ and far too strong to be killed by these puny, disgusting organic things.* He'll be better when he has his wings back. One does /not/ take a Seeker's wings. TC: *those puny, disgusting organic things did slag to him even another Decepticon wouldn't do . . . but no, he /will/ survive, he's a survivor, a fighter, he /will/ overcome this!...with that, he does finally slip into recharge* *Deckard will take Yuuta home for now, and the other BP's will also go rest, one staying up on guard on the roof with Stars and TC and the others going to their docking cradles – they'll rotate through the night so that all of them get at least /some/ rest* 42 comments|post comment

[11 Mar 2014|08:22am] Man: ....Thank you. *looks back at the door to the room TC is in.* If you can get him out... I've left this area unsecured. It's all I can do. Maru: *nods and stands, turning to the door – opens it and steps inside, closing it but not all the way*  You've seen better days.  TC:  …frag off. Maru:  *small grin, letting the comment go* You are Thundercracker?   If you've indeed been in contact with your trine companion, you'll know that he's found help recovering you and your friend.  My name is Shadowmaru.  Pleased to meet you. TC:  *optics narrow*  I'll be pleased when I'm out of this /hole/ I've been buried in. Maru: *nods and will approach, gingerly helping the other robot to his feet*  Lean on me as much as you need. TC: *reluctant but…has no choice* 24 comments|post comment

[10 Mar 2014|08:24am] *Duke n Maru lead Stars into the city, Duke using his light and sirens to clear the traffic ahead of him and get back to the precinct at top speed. Once to the BP wing, they'll both transform and head inside. Duke's already reported in on the situation, and the rest of the team has gathered to meet the new robot and to start planning. Saejima, Toudou, and Azuma are there as well.* Stars: *scowling, though he tries to hide the look, no need to make enemies of these goody-goodies yet.* A pleasure. *at being intro'd to everyone. He can't help give the humans a searching look somewhere between curious and disgusted (mostly because of what some other squishies are doing to his trine mates). His wings give a /flick/, twitchy and edgy.* Yuuta: *kind of awed by the new robot. Curious about him. He seems to have a super AI, but he's alien built, so....* Azuma: *has a nervous scowl of his own on his face. This robot is big, not as big as the combined forms, of course, but bigger than any of the BP. And he seems to be the same as the BP, a sentient robot. Who built him? Why? Why is he here?* Toudou: *looks awed. Like a kid in a candy shop, he's itching to see this alien technology.* Saejima: Starscream, would you allow some of our engineers to look at you? To repair you? Stars: *scowl deepens. He wants to say "No!", but he knows he can't reach some of where he's damaged.* ...........fine. Saejima: Power Joe, take Starscream to the maintenance bay. PJ: *salutes*  Yes, sir!  *to Starscream*  This way.  *will head for the door they came in through* Deckard:  Our repair teams are some of the best robotics engineers in Japan.  They'll take excellent care of you. McC:  And while they're doing that, we'll start investigating where your companions may have been taken to. Maru:  *to Toudou as the man moves to head for the maintenance bay himself* Chief, Starscream's other form is a type of jet.  I'd suggest either some of my team or Drill Boy's look at him. 36 comments|post comment

[07 Mar 2014|08:15am] Zaura: *a small ornament on the underside of a shoulder cone* You're a human? *to Yuuta, then peeks up at Deckard* And you're a robot? Yuuta: That's right. Deckard is a /living/ robot! So is Drill Boy! *glee. That revelation is one he's going to boast for a /long/ time.* DB: Yep! *GRINNING* Deckard: *if robots could blush...* Ah, yes, we're more advanced than most of the rest here. Zaura: *shifts back to the top of DB's shoulder so she can so him, giving him a /bright/ smile* I knew you were different! Deckard: Yes. A few of us are fortunate enough to have hearts. */grins/ at his partner* Thanks to Yuuta. DB: Yeah! Our boss is the best! Yuuta: *blushes and rubs the back of his head* Guys... *he can't argue, though.* Zaura: *shifts and becomes a little Yuuta, gazing around at them.* You're a surgeon? *she's picked up the language, and the meanings of things, but all she's witnessed of medical staff have been of the large humans* How did you do surgery on robots? *so yes, the questions are completely serious. Were she in someone's head she'd know instantly what was meant, like she knew how to play soccer with DB even though all she knew before was that it was a game with a ball, like many others.* DB: Huh?  That's a funny question. *confused, how'd she get that?* Deckard: *softly* Drill Boy.  *to Zaura, patiently*  No, it's not that.  There are those who do repairs, who do "surgery" on us, but they're not surgeons.  They're engineers.  This is something different.  The concept is a little difficult to explain.  It's not a physical organ that he gave us.  We're sentient.  We experience emotions.  We . . . we have a /soul/.  Back when I first became aware of it, I didn't fully know what it was.  I knew I was self-aware and had emotions.  I had "heart", so that's what I called it. 14 comments|post comment

[06 Mar 2014|09:06am] *There's a soft sound, almost musical from the odd spot, and it almost sounds like the words "Drill Boy".* Tanaka: ?!  What’s going on? DB: Whoa...that's not what you really look like, is it? *to Tanaka* While I was in sleep mode, I dreamed, only it wasn't just a dream. There was an alien girl in my head. She's lost and lonely because her world's sun burned out and destroyed her world and her people got scattered. I asked her if she could follow me when I woke up. Tanaka: *aw, and completely trusting that DB will protect him of necessary.* Zaura: *the shimmer shifts and seems to form into a more human like shape. She's transparent , the edges of her seem to glow softly. Her hair is a misty form that raises from her head. She's small, half the size of Fay.* Yes. *her voice is almost like the sound of a small bell.* Tanaka: *eyes wide, amazed.* DB: Wow... *turns his hand over to offer his palm* Tanaka-san, this is my friend, Zaura-chan. Zaura: *seems to solidify a little when she touches DB* Hello. Tanaka: *smiles* Hello. *to DB* You should probably tell Commissioner Saejima about her. DB: ……but…she's not a bio-monster.  And she's not here to hurt anyone!  She just wants a friend. 23 comments|post comment

[05 Mar 2014|08:18am] DB: Pleased to meet you.  Play soccer with me?  *holds up his ball* Zaura: *Her eyes sparkle and she hops from the swing when it reaches its forward peak. She lands easily then turns to him.* I hope you're prepared to lose. DB: *GRINS!* Ha! Not a chance! Zaura: *laughs* We'll see! *and she'll give him a /good/ game. Dream or not, he'll be sure a time or two that he's going to lose. He will win, and they'll both end up flopped on the ground together.* DB: *winded and happy* Haha, that was fun. So, hey, where are you from? *besides his head* Zaura: *points up at the sky* Out there. *she looks at him.* I'm glad you're enjoying this. DB: Yep! Wait...what do you mean "out there"? Zaura: *she turns over to look at him.* My home is near another star. DB: ..... *wow, his imagination just got weird on him...not that pretending to be human for a while isn't already weird* So...you're an alien? How come you look human? Zaura: Because you wanted to look human, so I copied you. *smiles, eyes sparkling* You didn't think you were doing this, did you? DB: Ah!  *jumps back up to his feet*  You're really in my head!?  NOnononono!  *suddenly /worried/ about the rest of his team*  What about the others?  Where are they?  Did you do something to them too!? 25 comments|post comment

[04 Mar 2014|09:23am] DB: *gives him a grin* You'll see. You'll like it there a lot. *will resettle, thinking about the rest of the team and everyone else, hoping they're okay* *Behr will carry the boys tirelessly, humming half the time, and smiling at them whenever he looks at them, especially if either of them look back at him. Kor comments a few times that Behr can put them down if he's tired. Behr always answers with "Behr help too," and keeps on going. It'll be a few hours when DB hears a distant shout, someone calling his name.* DB: *jumps!* Hello!? HELLO, OVER HERE! Darden: Drill Boy?! *he'll hear the man coming his way.* DB: */excited/*  YES, HERE!  *grabs Kor's arm*  That's Darden!  He's from the manor!  He's human, but it's okay.  His wife is j'har – and yes, she really is his wife, not a slave – and they have a half-blood son.  His name is Cody.  He doesn't wield, but he's really nice and a lot of fun.  He's taught me a lot of new games.  You'll like him. 17 comments|post comment

[28 Feb 2014|08:20am] *Deckard will feel the sting of claw marks on his cheek, McC is in the right position to see the thin lines of blood if he looks.* Senti: *chuckles* < I'm just a nightmare, pets. > *he steps around to McC and grabs a handful of hair, yanking his head back. He sniffs up the boy's neck, nipping at the soft flesh only enough to draw a tiny bit of blood* < So little fear... that will change. > Deckard: *ignores the sting in his cheek* McC: *just gives the creature a flat look in return* PJ: *snorts* Not likely. We weren't called the Brave Police for nothing. Senti: *shifts to PJ* < If I don't get your fear, I will at least get your pain. > *grabs PJ by the throat and pulls him away from the others, binds shifting to keep the other two held* PJ: *chokes, but just /glares/ at him* *The other two can't do anything, but they're watching…* 33 comments|post comment

[27 Feb 2014|08:10am] Duke: *nods, then steps back, turning to call* Mitham, I found her! Over here! Mitham: Shaila!? Shaila: Mitham! *scrambles out from under the trash, and for as small and frail looking as she is she still manages to bowl Mitham over when she glomps him.* Mitham: *grimaces in pain, but manages to /bite/ back and sound of it, then he's smiling and petting the tiny amin girl.* See? I promised I'd come back. We...we have help now. This is Duke, and Kagerou, we're going to go live with them now. Shaila: *peeks at the boys* Hullo. Duke: Pleased to meet you. Are you sick or injured at all? Mitham/Shaila: Sick. Mitham: She's sick. She's got a really high fever. *worried* Kage: Then let's get her to Jerrica. Mitham: *nodnods and will try to get up without letting go of Shaila* Duke: *will step forward to take Shaila in his arms if she'll let him, then help Mitham to his feet* ((ooc: LOL Duke logic - get what's in the way /out/ of it, then operate unimpeded.  9,9))   25 comments|post comment
