Where... where is this! What's going on! I will not tolerate this nonsense! There is a battle going on--

[Brief moment of stunned silence, and then, a roar that shakes the communications devices of all those listening]

Where... are... my cannons! Who touched them! Show yourself! Or I shall tear this place apart to find you! How dare you lay hands on me and my weapons! When I find you, I will not hesitate to--do not think I cannot destroy you without them! Answer me! Now!

Optimus' orders or no, when I find the responsible party, you will be reduced to your basic components before you can blink!

[Another pause, and then, quieter, but no less agitated]

Hmn. Oh, should... Autobots. Come in! Where are you! I have been taken from the field... What is Prime's status? Respond!

Welcome aboard, Ironhide, she does this to everyone.

Stop screaming into the comms.

Awww... XD

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Have a growl]

I will not! Not until someone returns my property to me!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

I want my kit back, too. But neither of us are getting it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Why! Who is responsible for this!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Captain James Wolfgang Redd. Our jailor.

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Explain...

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

In brief, you're aboard the MS Elegante, a cruise ship with a destination of "the Golden Shore." Further information has not been forthcoming. The crew implies this is good for us, but refuses to provide any sort of proof.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... that is not possible. How did we arrive here! How can he remove my weapons!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

You're here. Your weapons, which I assume were integral, are removed. It's not productive to meet observed facts with denial.

If you ask the crew, you'll get a vague answer about "the system."

[heavyweaponsbot]

My weapons were me! I am the the weapons master! It would be as if they had taken your... some vital human organ!

... a system can be broken.

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.]

"Some vital human organ," hmm?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Are your audios malfunctioning? That is what I said!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

My auditory systems are functioning within acceptable tolerances.

...Yes, that would be simply terrible.

[Kusanagi's voice is amused.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... that is not a usual answer. Not from your kind.

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

It's an entirely usual answer from my kind.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Explain yourself!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Provide a convincing reason why I should.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You have a reason not to?

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

I've provided you with information. You, on the other hand, have done nothing but make demands. I see no reason to answer personal questions if you can't even ask them politely.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[more growling]

I have been taken from my comrades, from a battle to protect our allies and their planet. [mutters] My chest was on fire for a moment... [Louder] I see no reason to be "polite"!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Then I see no reason to be forthcoming.

We all have our problems. I was taken in the middle of a chase to capture a terrorist on the international Most Wanted list, who was, incidentally, a new form of life.

[heavyweaponsbot]

A terrorist could hardly cause the destruction we were attempting to prevent!

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Not destruction. Transcendence.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You make no sense.

ffff your icon keywords xD

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Two sides of the same coin, I suppose.

[Her voice is distant, but she snaps back to herself quickly.]

I'm making sense. You just lack the data to interpret it correctly.
