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!

Awright, awright. Your cannons're bein' taken care of. You'll get 'em back once we reach the Shore, and that's a fact. You're here 'cause Redd wanted you here.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I want them back, now! I do not want to be here! And I will leave by force if necessary!

Inform this person of this!

[shenghuanzhe.livejournal.com]

You ain't gettin' them back now, you're gettin' them back at the Shore. Just lettin' you know that force against myself or any other crew member will not be tolerated.

You want to test me? I welcome it! I will not be swayed by the threats of some punk!

[shenghuanzhe.livejournal.com]

Some punk?

[Kage laughs and shakes his head.]

No, man, listen. I'm First Mate Kage Al-Mawt, right-hand man to the great Captain James Wolfgang Redd himself. You wanna test, you're more'n welcome to. You try that shit, you'll get put down like anybody else.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I do not care who you are. You are in command, are you not? Explain to your leader that I will not allow myself to be held here!

Oh... I doubt that.

Listen, man, Captain Redd's a busy fuckin' man. He don't have time to come running every time a passenger whines about the rules. Rules are, you don't get any weapons unless we're under attack or we're at the Shore.

If you try'n test, you'll find out soon enough why this is Redd's boat, and not your boat, aye?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then he had best make time. Why are we going to this "shore"? Explain!

... Perhaps I will.

[Kage's tone relaxes. This guy will find out soon enough what happens.]

Let's put it this way: if you can find Redd, he'll talk t'you all Zeshat-damned day.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Not "if".

When.
