46th Transmission - Audio

I want my squad to meet me on the top deck for assessment.  Now.  This is not a request.  If you do not show up, I will remove you from the team.  Simple as that.

You will also report to Hannibal King.  Treat him as my second.  If I hear of disrespect, I will not tolerate it, and you will be disciplined.  

That is all.


[Locked to Autobots: Unhackable.]
Bumblebee, Ratchet.  If you have problems with your... assignments... I want to know.  Not going to let you be taken advantage of.  Either of you.

[And with that, Ironhide will be up on the top deck, waiting for his crew.]



((ooc: Just... tag at your leisure.  There's no official closing for this post.  Ironhide just wants to test what his team can do in a fight.  Yes, he is taking this all as SRS BZNS.  Because this is what he does.  War things.  Drill instructor things.  Everyone can assume they're meeting at separate times, or tag each other, whichever.  Just have fun!))

[He's feeling particularly trollish today. SORRY IRONHIDE.]

My captain hits me.

[Autobot filter/Unhackable]

[heavyweaponsbot]

You have trouble taking a couple hits from a little organic?

[Autobot filter/Unhackable]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Well I didn't say it hurt.

[Autobot filter/Unhackable]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You poking at me?

[You and Mike, Bee, seriously.]

[Autobot filter/Unhackable]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

I've met my captain and one of my teammates. I doubt I'll have any trouble, so you don't have to worry about me.

[Autobot filter/Unhackable]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Have you? Good.

Not worried. Just looking after our own.

[He's still none too pleased to be bossed around, but he's shown up. He assumes assessment means he'll be demonstrating his firebending, and that doesn't sound too bad.

So he's on the top deck, waiting to be spoken to.]

[Ironhide is impossible to miss. He's the big, black, looming monstrosity over there by the rail. He's also got a very unimpressed look on his face.

... then again, that's sort of his default expression.]

You are?

[Commentlog]

[redhot-redeemed.livejournal.com]

My name is Zuko. I'm here for the alpha squad meeting.

You're Ironhide?

[Well, on the bright side, at least Zuko thinks Ironhide looks like a respectable leader. And judging by his size, a formidable fighter.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good. Yeah. I am Ironhide.

[He nods, and gives him a long stare.]

... You ever killed anyone before?

[Commentlog]

[redhot-redeemed.livejournal.com]

[He hesistates. He doesn't want to seem weak. He returns Ironhide's stare as he answers.]

No.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Ironhide crouches slightly, so as to better look him in the eye.]

... There was a woman burned to death recently. You say your power includes manipulating fire. Witness saw a male leaving the scene.

You sure there is nothing you want to explain to me?

[Audio]

[thenotmagician]

"Disciplined"?

[Audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

You heard me.

[King will show up, dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt rolled up to his elbows, and jeans.

He finds Ironhide and stands closer to him than anyone, though he'll wave with a grin to anyone who shows up!]

[commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He just sort of absently rests his knuckles on King's head, pretending to be distracted elsewhere, waiting.]

[commentlog] King is not your squishy human pet Ironhide /amused

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

[King reaches up to bump his own knuckles against the ones on his head, a sort of brofist.]

Godric wasn't kidding about that Zuko kid being impulsive.

[Yes, he heard the thread; no, he hasn't talked to him in person yet.]

Surprised Zeke's giving you a hard time, too.

[commentlog] it's the closest you can get to robo-noogies without your skull shattering

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He snorts at that, and withdraws his hand.]

I do not care what his lineage is. Only if he is willing to take orders, and if he can fight.

So am I. He is not taking this seriously... at all. Why volunteer if you just want to play games?

[commentlog] ...then the consideration is appreciated

[hadalotofsugar.livejournal.com]

It's important to him, it sounds like. He might be easier to work with if you take that into account. [IE don't dismiss it out of hand in front of him or knock it.] His abilities sound pretty useful, though, and he sounds like he's at least willing to take orders.

[As for Zeke.]

He probably does wanna help, he just wanted to go about it in his own way. Godric assigned the teams, but he let them choose how to organize. Some sound more relaxed.

I think training's a good idea, though.

[commentlog] :3

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmpf. Maybe. Dealt with young, egotists before. [He waves a hand though, yeah, he gets it. He'll listen.] His ability concerns me. You heard a woman was incinerated recently?

[Ironhide just grunts at that. He doesn't like getting sassed by people he can't pound on.]

It is. I doubt anyone here knows how to function as a unit. That will limit effectiveness.

[ Eventually, Anna manages to make it to the spot she had heard Ironhide specify over the comm. Shes moving slowly, and what parts of her arms that are visible are covered in bandages. The rest of her has been carefully covered in jeans and a black turtleneck.

After her encounter with whom she had now termed a fellow Misfit, she had made her way to the infirmary and snagged a few basic burn treatment items before going up to the deck. Shes moving slowly, carefully, and is in obvious pain.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He recognizes her from previous encounters. But not in this state. Ironhide simply stares at her, his good optic narrowing. The old warrior's had enough damage before to know all the signs.]

What happened.

[This is so not even remotely a question.]

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[Anna visibly flinches.]

I am...sorry I am late. I had issue with a...passenger, I believe. He...uses fire.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Being damaged is a decent excuse.

[He doesn't look away, and, if possible, he looks even more disagreeable.]

... Describe them to me.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[She is already nervous around him, so for her to be late and then that look he has...

Well, she would shift and run if she wasn't on his team.]

He is...taller than me, brown hair. He...seemed afraid at first, but then he threw a ball of fire at me.

[And all hell broke loose.]
