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.]

Now, now. You must be a good father. :| It likes you, after all.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[Ignores that. The frog is much more interesting.]

Perhaps if I find a safe habitat for it.

It likes you MORE.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... [SIGH - ignored for science. Again.]

We are on a boat. Throw it in the water.

It likes us both!

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

... We are in the middle of a large body of water. It is too small to survive in the open ocean.

I think it's afraid of me...

[heavyweaponsbot]

... It can swim, can it not?

You are trying to drown it... :<

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Not over that distance.

I will keep it in my quarters.

... not on purpose.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

I am no longer visiting you in your quarters while that creature is there.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

... Perhaps I would be able to get some work done. [Snark? Never.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Fine. Then I shall leave you and your creature in peace.

[This is your own room, Ironhide.]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

You must admit you are overreacting.

[... Okay, that wasn't what he had in mind.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I dislike sharing quarters with nonhuman organics... they make messes.

[SUUUUUUUUUULK-ing now.]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

This creature is far too small leave a mess. If it does, I will personally see to it that it is cleaned.

Would that satisfy you?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I do not want it touching me while in recharge.

[Sulk sulk sulk]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Then it is fortunate that you will not be recharging in my room.

But I would be disappointed if you stopped visiting over one small creature.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... yeah. It is.

[head-tilt] Would you?

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

It would be very... quiet, without you around.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... yeah. Likewise.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[Nudges lightly.]

I am sure that... hmm, I suppose I should name this creature, so I do not have to call it... 'it.'

Well, its scientific classification is "Phyllobates terribilis"...

[heavyweaponsbot]

... [Shoves back]

What... kind of name is that? That is not even a language any longer. You cannot name it that.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Of course it is a language. It is an ancient human language.

Do you have a better suggestion?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Ancient human language. They do not even use it.

...

If we must give the creature a designation, we will call it "C4".

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

... I was not aware you cared enough to give the creature a designation.

Very well - "C4" it is.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I do not. But if you will not give it up... and insist on giving it one... it will be one I can pronounce.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Does that mean you will be visiting both me and the 'creature'?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Just... groans.]

Fine.
