30th Transmission - Semi-Open

[He had come to a conclusion. A conversation needed to be had. About... certain things. And he needed to do it now, before he lost his nerve.

Unfortunately, Ratchet wasn't in his room. Either of their rooms. Nor was he in the library, or the caves. Or the forest.

... How hard could it possibly be to find one neon Autobot? Especially on this boat?

Eventually, he winds his way up to the top deck, spending a moment staring out over the water, before heading toward the mini-golf course. Maybe the medic would be there.]



((ooc: Aimed at medicalofficer, but people can bump into him on his search if they like.))

Whatever you want to call it. The question is - do you have a human brain somewhere in there or are you a robot?

_{[Alita waves a hand.]}

I'm Alita.

[heavyweaponsbot]

My parts are entirely Cybertronian. I have no organic components.

[He looks offended she even suggested such a thing. Ew, squishy bits.]

Ironhide.

[embattled-angel.livejournal.com]

Well, you don't have to act like I just walked over your grave or something. Where I'm from the only people who look like you are cyborgs.

_{[She slips down from the railing and lands adroitly on the deck.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

Walked over my what.

[He does not ask questions. Just demands answers. He watches her move, shifting slightly with a creak of joints.]

We are no longer in your world. You should quit assuming.

[embattled-angel.livejournal.com]

I asked a polite question and you acted like I'd just gravely insulted you. Do you hate humans or something?

_{[Alita snorts.]}

And you should stop being rude.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I was. You think this frame has something organic in it? I do not hate your kind.

[He snorts too, mildly amused.]

No. That is part of my core personality programming.

[embattled-angel.livejournal.com]

It's entirely possible. I've seen cyborgs who look a bit like you before. Besides, I'm a cyborg. The only organic part of me left is my brain.

_{[She settles her hands on her hips.]}

Try and break it then. Being rude doesn't get you everywhere.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[His optics narrow a little.] I do not believe that.

Why should I? Works fine for me.

Really? _{[Alita zips down the front of her jumpsuit (http://manga.animea.net/battle-angel-alita-chapter-39-page-4.html) to reveal that there's a mechanical catch at the center of her breast bone and some sort of "zipper".]}

Body's all artificial except for my brain.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He actually takes a step back when she does that, and turns his head away. Why do humans always take off their clothing? Never... mind that she hasn't actually taken anything off.]

I do not--put that back on!

[embattled-angel.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to show that you're wrong. Why would a robot be so squeamish about the human body anyway?
