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!))

[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?

[A shocked look covers his face. That other firebender, the one with the silver object. He must have been the one who killed the girl.

He's incensed that Ironhide would suggest he was a liar and a murderer. His stare turns into a glare.]

I didn't kill her, if that's what you're implying.

[He continues to stare at him. Maybe the kid is a good actor. But... somehow he doubts that. Finally, Ironhide straightens up, sighing. The accusation is gone from his tone.]

You realize you look like a suspect? To anyone who knows of your ability?

[Zuko grimaces. He hadn't considered this point, and he is a little unnerved by it.]

That doesn't matter. I will not be accused of a crime I didn't commit.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

You may be.

[He shrugs as he says this. He's been here a while... if anyone knows about this kid's talent, they may very well point fingers.]

Show me what you can do.

Alright.

[He takes a deep breath, focusing himself. He concentrates, gets in the right stance, and then performs a sequence of firebending moves, sending balls and streams of flame in several directions.]

[Ironhide classifies this spectacle as "artillery", and watches it in silence.]

Can you make a wall of it?

[Commentlog]

[redhot-redeemed.livejournal.com]

[Another deep breath. Fire walls was a master firebending move, and Zuko had only tried it a handful of times--with minimal success. Still, he had to give it a shot.

He thrusts his fists out in front of him and slowly raises them, causing a wall of flames to slowly rise. It lasts strong for a moment before flickering out.]

...I haven't practiced that one as much.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He watches again in silence, noting the strength and duration of the skill before it dies. Not as useful as he'd thought. Still... the kid can be of help.]

Practice it. In the meantime, you will be our artillery.

Very well.

The other members of our team. What are their specialties?

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

King is capable of hand-to-hand combat. And I am... myself.

[IE. a giant alien robot who doubles as a literal tank on occasion.]

The rest have yet to be assessed. A male and female... the female has worked with me before. The male... is unknown.
