I wish to know what occurred on the upper decks. Between a certain turtle and an unknown person.

And I wish to know now. This is not a request. Speak up! Be quick about it!

... wait, what happened?

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is what I am trying to find out.

[axemeaquestion.livejournal.com]

Son of a bitch--Lemme know if you get anything outta anyone?

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Be fortunate that I have cleared you for service again, Ironhide.

But I am also curious as to what happened. Keep me updated.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Never said I was going to do anything. I just want answers.

Quit worrying.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I am no idiot, Ironhide. You are not a mech to simply sit around and wait for another to deal with a situation.

I never said I would stop you - I simply wish to be involved.

[And because Leo has been hiding from his brothers so they wouldn't see a certain thing-

Oh wait. ...Ironhide's not talking about that, is he? Leo almost hopes he is, just so he doesn't have to worry that it's about one of his brothers.]

What happened?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Why are you asking me? You... do not know?

[That post was crazy easy to hack. He could have done it drunk.]

[betterthanraph.livejournal.com]

[Hey, Leo's been trying to give his brothers space and not hacking their posts seem like a good first step. Now, however, he is going to hack Mike's lightning-quick.]

Was it Mike? His post last night?

[jazzingitup.livejournal.com]

Ironhide...

I don't know what happened but a little subtlety would probably be called for?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am not capable of subtlety. It is beyond my expertise.

[jazzingitup.livejournal.com]

[Jazz knew that. But he had to try.]

You can try at least, can't you? Cause I don't think you'll get any honest replies this way. 'Sides, I think there's this human saying 'bout catching more flies with honey than vinegar?

[you're probably not going to get much out of Don (who, coincidentally, probably knows the most what happened outside of Bass and Mike himself) because he wants to keep casualties to a minimum, but he has something he needs to say anyway.]

Ironhide. You kept him talking last night, didn't you? I wanted to say thanks for that. I'm not certain he would have stayed awake otherwise.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. I did. I know... nothing of organic repairs. Had to do something.

[He pauses. Caution is not his strong suit either, and he really wants to know. Protective programming code will not be ignored.]

You got to him, then? What happened?

[Locked // 98% Unhackable]

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

Thank you for it.

[Don pauses, too.]

I did. He ended up with a fracture along his metacarpals. Er, those are the bones in the back of his hands. For an impact-created break, it...it could have a lot worse. I didn't detect any splintering, at least.

[longer pause, because he knows that wasn't what Ironhide was askign about]

He ended up in a confrontation with another passenger, who provoked him into throwing the first punch. Things degenerated from there, though Mikey's hand was the only extensive damage done.

WELP.

[allmyturtles.livejournal.com]

...

What has happened?

/THREADJAK

[betterthanraph.livejournal.com]

Master, I'll be by to explain in just a moment.

♥♥♥

[allmyturtles.livejournal.com]

Very well.

OH SH

[heavyweaponsbot]

... That is what I am trying to figure out. Someone has been harassing what they should not be.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

A turtle?

[SHE'S BEEN REPLAAAAAAACED]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah. A turtle. Little one, likes to say... "dude".

[NEVER, CHILDTHING.]

[iwitnessdamsel.livejournal.com]

I want my name added to the mailing list.

In other words, anything you find out off the comms, or under a lock that's higher than I know how to hack, I want to know. Immediately.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, fine. So long as you will not get in my way when I find the one responsible, and repay their favor.

[bitchingcamaro.livejournal.com]

A turtle, really?

You sure you haven't been hitting the energon too hard?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yes. I am. Talk to them yourself if you do not believe me.
