18th Transmission - Audio/Action

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is it! I am finished with this nonsense! With this place!

[The snarl of rage all but shakes the journal. Ironhide's voice is sharp, harsh with anger and bitter pain. His words are crisp, but undercut by a warning growl. Finding his charges missing only a day after their arrival has pushed the old warrior to the edge. The lack of a familiar, stabilizing presence only shoved him further over it.]

[He no longer cares for their punishments. He has a mission now.]

You--! All of you under this lord's command! Tell me where you have taken them! Where do you hide the missing!

[Stone -- probably some random bit of rock he found to illustrate his point -- crunches.]

You will tell me... Or I will tear this place apart! [Another warning crunch of stone.] You have one hour.

[And with that, he ends the recording. He can be found waiting near the stables. And once the hour winds down, if he hears nothing, he will literally begin attempting to rip the very stones of the keep apart.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

You do not wish to get in the way of me and my duty, boy.

[buildsthatwall]

I will if you try to destroy it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then you are a fool.

[buildsthatwall]

Maybe, but you're the one who wants to hurt people.

[So he's just going to sit out in front of the Great Keep and keep an eye out for whoever this is.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I want to harm this building. Not the prisoners. Get your facts straight, boy.

[buildsthatwall]

Attacking people's home is no better than attacking them.

[heavyweaponsbot]

This is not our home!

[buildsthatwall]

Some people call it that. It's their home. You can't take that away from them.

[heavyweaponsbot]

It is no one's home.

[buildsthatwall]

That's not something you can decide for everyone.

[heavyweaponsbot]

It is the truth. Whether you want to see it or not.

[buildsthatwall]

I see just fine. You're the bully who's trying to force everyone to see what he does.

[heavyweaponsbot]

No one asked you to listen.

[buildsthatwall]

You did when you started making threats.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I started threatening the staff, boy. Not you.

[buildsthatwall]

No, you threatened to destroy this place. That threatens everyone here.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not if they get out of the way.

[buildsthatwall]

I can't let you hurt anyone.

[He's standing firm on this. No one has to get hurt to get answers.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

If the staff answer... nothing shall happen.

[buildsthatwall]

...Alright.

[Kid hopes they do. Not out of fear, but he doesn't want to see anyone here hurt. If he can help it, he doesn't want to fight either.]
