OOC: regret is really making me regret playing Halo 2…
“Did you know that you’re brother’s involved in all the scrap around that Nova Prime guy? He’s worked with Maxima and the Decepticon high command bailed him outta Jail!”-Bootleg.
@MaxinePrimal “Is the Omega Lock still here down in one of them?”-Ironclad.
“Yes, I know.”
“Oh, you do? Why aren’t you off playing hero, like he is?”
Bootleg is curious, not condescending.
“I have a business to take care of.”
“I’m gonna assume you don’t know 'bout the big gun.”
“I know about it too…”
“Just to clarify: we’re talking about the one pointed at Primus’ spark.”
“I know that we are talking about a doom weapon! But what do you want me to do know? Huh? Do you want to run around the streets and yell “the end is coming”? No? What else I can do? Oh, I know! I can fake that nothing is happening and to be the entrepreneur I always was! Mordo is there, saving the world, and I am proud of him! What should I do? Go to him? I have no idea where he is!”
The Wolfpack were off exploring
“That is is. All the way down at ground zero. The base layer.”
“And that’s exactly how Nova wants you to think! He’s pointed this big-aft gun at the core because he’s bankin’ on the fact that people’ll be too scared to do stop him! Everything goes, and whatnot.”
Bootleg pauses.
@MaxinePrimal “If Cybertron’s core were to shut down or be damaged, could an Omega Lock repair it?”-Ironclad.
“You now what? Leave! Leave my office! Unless you actually want to tell me something useful, leave me alone!”
'I assume so. Seems logical enough."
“Fine! Y’know, I won’t lie: I’m scared, too. Terrified, in fact! But I ain’t comfortable with someone holdin’ my life, much less the whole planet, in his hands!”
Bootleg leaves the office.
@MaxinePrimal We could take it with us to Cybertron, just in case.
“Do the records mention a Nova Prime?”
OOC: so, what happened to Reblast?
OOC: he’s somewhere
“I’ll tell you about him later. Is there any way of getting to the base layer?”
“No can do. We never go back. Those are the rules.”
