37th Transmission

[heavyweaponsbot]

Are we taking down the female, or what? I grow tired of waiting around for a plan.

Who went to that Nirvana place?

If I do not hear a response, I am going to go and sit on the female.



[TRUE TO HIS WORD, Ironhide has started to roam the halls, looking for trouble in the form of a screaming little girl. medicalofficer is welcome to be there with him, and anyone else can run into him. But his primary target is JennJenn.]

Si, I tire of it as well.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That is unhelpful.

I am going to take care of this problem.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Let me go with you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

What? Why?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Does it matter why? [Good God if someone doesn't let her do something she's going to rip someone's face off]

Someone said that...it is good to have a female with you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. My curiosity matters.

... Why?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Because I want to do something. It is...a horrible feeling, feeling...[what, pushed aside? 'Protected'?] As if you are unable to help.

Because she is panicking, she...does not know where she is. I heard it earlier, on the comms. Yesterday, perhaps?

[heavyweaponsbot]

And you assume you can talk her down?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

I can make an effort.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmnf. Fine. We are patrolling the decks.

We will restrain her.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

What deck? I will find you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Uh.

[Hold on, he's asking Ratchet.]

Deck... six.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

I will be there soon.

[Very soon. Kitty runs fast.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah... we are hard to miss.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Oui, you are the robots. I remember. [It's been a while since they'd 'talked', but Anna remembers!

She emerges from the shadows, nice and humanified.]

Any trace?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Derp, they're just wanderin'.]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[So following you.]

Ironhide, this is not a plan.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Totally fine with this.]

Is too. They already went to the Nirvana thing. We are taking initiative.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.

We can be the first to throw ourselves at her, leaving the remaining passengers to deal with the aftermath.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. I thought it was.

... There is a human female looking to talk her down. All we have to do is restrain her.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

... I am going to hammer some self-preservation coding into that thick helm of yours - After this is over.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

[He snorts, and glances over his shoulder, wryly.]

You are my one and only medic?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[Sup it's a non-kittified Anna. She remembers you two, even if she's never physically spoken to you outside the comms.

You are not hard to miss.]

Any traces?

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Not so far as I can tell - There is not guarantee that she will have a signature detectable by our scanning equipment.

Unfortunately, given the supernatural nature of the vessel, there is a good chance that she is made up of an entirely foreign energy, making her invisible to all but the naked optic - or perhaps more aptly - naked eye.

[heavyweaponsbot]

And your equipment is better than mine. At least, for this.

So, we keep watch, keep look out. Ratchet, take the rear. Female, between us.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[She just nods, though her brow furrows a little at being labeled as 'female', but it's inconsequential. She just wants to be doing something.]

It has been said that she does not know where she is, or what is going on around her. I am believing that she sees...something else. Hallucination, or illusion.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Understood.

[Typically, he would be highly curious about the circumstances of the young female's condition. But considering the danger it posed to both Ironhide, and their human companion, such pursuits would have to wait.]

She, unfortunately, is very real to those aboard the ship - Or she would not pose such a problem.

Even if we were to break the hold of the illusion, there can be no guarantee that she will be any less dangerous.

[heavyweaponsbot]

It could be a start.

[It's no secret he's tired of all this waiting around. He wants to act. If they have even a vague idea of what to do, it's good enough for him.]

They had mentioned... killing her before. The previous first mate said as much. Yet it seems to have helped little.
