Stupid to ask if anyone is hearing things. I want to know instead what we intend to do about it.

... Anyone remember those... tanks? Belowdecks?


[He doesn't say anything more on that subject, figuring if anyone saw them, they'll know what he's talking about. Plus, this... brings back severely unhappy memories of that venture down below.]

Tanks? Fill me in, 'Hide.

_{[Serious scout is serious.]}

[heavyweaponsbot]

Tanks. With... previous crew-members trapped inside. Down below, where we are not allowed.

[bitchingcamaro.livejournal.com]

Interesting. What makes you think it's related?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Cannot think of anyone else who would need help.

[jazzingitup.livejournal.com]

There's tanks here?

I'm looking around right now and seeing if I can track the source.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Eh. Sort of. Down below. Where they keep... some members of old crews.

Do that.

[jazzingitup.livejournal.com]

I'll keep you all posted if I find anything.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good. I... wish to know what you find.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

... You believe they are connected?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Who else on this ship would need help?

Too much like... when I came back up. When I thought... you know.

[When everyone was hallucinating, when he thought he could hear the little Autobot still.]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I doubt they are the only victims aboard this vessel, all things considered.

[Locked]

... Would you like some company?

[heavyweaponsbot]

I... yeah. Probably not. Still--best guess I have.

[Locked]

... Yeah. I would.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

It is one of the more logical ideas. I do not think you are wrong, but I am keeping an open processor as to what this ship is capable of.

[Locked]

I will be there in a moment.

[ttlynotawizard.livejournal.com]

Might not be the tanks. Might be a lot of things.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Such as?

[ttlynotawizard.livejournal.com]

Lower deck passengers. Something horrible escaped from Carnival. Something we've yet to encounter.

[heavyweaponsbot]

So you think it is a trick.

How is your condition, Ironhide?

[He shakes his head.]

I never saw those tanks.

[Locked to Phoenix // 85% Unhackable]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am fit for combat.

... Hmn. I... wonder if... those there are the ones responsible.

[Locked to Ironhide // 69% Unhackable]

[ecopiracy.livejournal.com]

And your mobility?

I assume you're referring to the former crew you encountered. Given what you told me, it wouldn't be a surprise. However, they are not the only ones trapped below.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Good as it ever is.

[Meaning his hip is still a mess, and his joints still hurt. But that's nothing new.]

Yeah. I am. All of... of them. If you mean those on... that deck, let them scream. I do not consort with murderers.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

I don't remember tanks.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Maybe you missed that floor.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...

That's...totally possible. It was a weird day.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You would remember them.

And their... caretaker.
