I have been informed by... someone that a Decepticon by the name of Frenzy was on this vessel.

And it has been... some time since my arrival.  I have yet to so much as glimpse it.  I have good reason to believe he was never here at all.  Was he?

I suspect that this... someone... has been lying to me.




And I seem to be in possession of some... yellow thing.  Why?  Bumblebee, it is colored like you.  Want it?



[Yes, Shockwave, Ironhide is taunting you.  Anyone, however, is welcome to inform him that he's wrong.]

A yellow 'thing'?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. Little yellow organic thing.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[Science ping.]

Is it another of these 'frogs,' such as the one Sam has recently acquired?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You are asking me to name this creature? According to you, I misidentified a canine as a rodent.

I still think it was a rodent.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I should take it then - You do not seem to have much luck with small creatures, and I worry for its safety. It would be unfortunate, if it should be terminated for making the mistake of having a minor fuel leak...

You simply enjoy insinuating that I am a liar. Bumblebee knew him, as did a mutual friend of ours.

As for Frenzy's disappearance, it is possible he was sent back to where he came from. [This information makes Shockwave very unhappy. Now instead of being a little outnumbered, he's a lot outnumbered. Not good.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. I do. I doubt he ever even existed here at all.

Oh? And how did the little glitch manage that?

[That may or may not have been his intent with this post, Shocks.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

You would.

Sometimes, the beings on this ship simply disappear. If any of us knew how, we might have already done so to go back to our own homes.

[DP He's not going to openly panic about it. He's been alone on the wrong side before and he managed well enough. He can do it again. He hopes.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I know. [That grin of his may be audible]

Perhaps you should figure it out. Since you seem to know so much about this place.

[Pity. He wanted to see the weird-looking 'Con squirm a little.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[His tone has a gloating edge on it.] Oh, Ironhide. I simply know more about it than you do.
Besides, while I miss my liege and my fellow soldiers terribly, this is a much better place than I was in before I arrived.

[It's difficult to get him to really squirm. The last time was because he knew he was absolutely fragged.]

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Frenzy was here. I haven't seen him in a while, though.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Was he?

Your Decepticon friend was not lying to me?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Yep, he was~!

No. Shockwave didn't lie to you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Huh.

I wondered. Will this continue, or will he inevitably revert to the ways of his kind.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

'Hide...can you just...

Give him a chance? Please? He was uh...really here for me when I had no one else.

[lilyground.livejournal.com]

You haven't seen Frenzy either...?

[She was really growing attached to the pointy robot...]

[heavyweaponsbot]

No. I have not.

[Sorry, he sounds positively pleased by that.]

If he was here at all, I say good riddance. Punkass little...

[lilyground.livejournal.com]

Hey, Frenzy's my friend!

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That Decepticon glitch is no friend of any organic.

[lilyground.livejournal.com]

He is! He's my friend! And don't call him that!

[What's a Decepticon? What's a glitch? Whatever, they don't sound very nice.]

[psychoticracer.livejournal.com]

He was.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Clearly, all of you have missed the point. Whether he was here or not no longer matters. Only that someone is alone.

[psychoticracer.livejournal.com]

Do you often ask questions you don't want answered?

... Hm. An ally of Frenzy's?

[O rly.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

When there is a point to them.

... Somewhat. [At least in his opinion, anyway]

[psychoticracer.livejournal.com]

Picking on him, are you?
