Thunderblast pulls up a holo-map of the Vigilant beside her throne and selects a corridor lined with hab-suites with her fingers, highlighting one particular room in red.
“Deck three, habitation suite D-16,” she drawls. “I’ll see to it that our lucky ensign’s personal effects are moved out in short order.”
Shockwave looks down at his scorched legs and battered chest.
“…Perhaps I will seek medical treatment myself after overseeing Epsilon-5’s modifications,” he says.
Drone takes a step back, and the shockwave from Red’s punch sends him sprawling.
Clip runs at Split again, dragging her sword behind her as Red deploys a blaster from his left forearm.
“Well it involves the situation of the fellow sparks on our ship.” He said, as he walked towards Forcep. “I thought I may lay in a hand, for I do wish to save these sparks if possible.”
“Pray don’t mention it,” Thunderblast says dismissively, inspecting the polished armor on her right hand, which gleams in the sunlight streaming through the windows of the bridge.
“Actually, I think there’s only one spark that needs saving,” Forcep replies, looking at the cluttered blue holo-screen above the glass orb in his workstation.
King-Quan looked at the cluttered blue holo-screen above the glass orb in Force’s workstation. “How so?” He asked, looking at him. “What makes one more special than the others?”
“Your mission was to retrieve the Omega Key,” she says. “But seeing as how certain conditions during the battle made that an impossibility, I’ll have to think of something else for you to do.”
“I don’t think there are any others,” Forcep explains.
"The medical data on the orb in this office, on the orbs throughout the medical wing, and the one in Redstocker’s hab-suite are the exact same. Even the glyphs and clutter around them are identical.
“We already know the sparks in these orbs are just holograms; what if they’re all depictions of the same spark?”
“What do Autobots do in their free time?” she asks.
Forcep sighs.
“They certainly appear that way,” the doctor agrees, “but they’re not. They’re just projections, like these holo-screens.”
To demonstrate, Forcep waves his hand through one of the luminescent displays hovering beside his head. The holo-screen shimmers as his hand sweeps back and forth through it.
■■■■■■■■■■■■ was a Decepticon, which meant that Facelift was, some would say, one of his own. Whether that made him better suited to oversee Epsilon’s modifications was up to Zepar. On the other hand, he was cold and often apathetic towards Salvation’s non-Decepticon crew. His counterpart, Topside, seemed more kind and approachable, even if his leadership style was more lax than the Decepticon he shared the bridge with.
“I’ll see if I can convince Captain Topside to join us.” Zepar said as he began heading for the bridge…hoping it was still in roughly the same place as before.
Just in case it wasn’t, he began to try updating his map of the ship.
OOC: I think Topside would be a good one to ask as Shockwave seems pretty adamant in wanting Facelift locked up (a fair desire but maybe not the most prudent considering the services and help he has given thus far) and Topside’s more lax approach may allow for the discussion of Decepticon justice vs Autobot mercy to take place.
