Nexus, the Frag It, Meeting Spazz and playing Zaptrivia
Wake: *frowns as Rattrap heads off to find Rhinox, sighs and goes to put everything he was working on away for now. Once that's done, he moves to head up to the main deck*
Spazz: *slender pale green bayformer femme, not even five foot tall. She pauses when she sees her new engineer, her brow plates drawing together over her blue optics* There you are.
Wake: ...Er... Hi? *Trying to work out just what Spazz is. All he's coming up with is "Femme of some kind"* Where else would I be?
Spazz: Never mind that. Do you know anything about hurt humans?
Wake: Er... not really... *rubs the back of his neck sheepishly*
Spazz: Well can you at least help me go get one and bring her back aboard? That slaggin' Rat teleported her out.
Wake: Er... Sure... *slight frown* Rat's kinda upset right now... *moves to sniff at his arm* and now I kinda smell like whatever it was he was drinking...
Spazz: I know how Rat is. I've been there through most of it, except when I had to just shut off for a minute and take a step back. But Nightwish needs help right now.
Wake: *frown, nod* Alright... if she needs help right now, then we should go get her... the sooner she gets help, the better, right?
Spazz: Uh huh. *holds out a slender hand for his*
Wake: *reaches for Spazz's hand* I'm WakeJumper, by the way... *small, somewhat charming smile*
Spazz: Yeah, I know. *PINpoints them to one of the back rooms of Hormah's sanctuary, well away from where Rattrap and Rhinox are at the moment*
Wake: *very slight stumble, but quickly regains his footing* ... Er... *looks around* Where are we?
Spazz: The sanctuary of Primus not too far from the Black Dog. This is the room Rat and little Dinobot stayed in for awhile. *turns and goes over to the big berth, which is large enough for a full-size Autobot or Decepticon, and scrambles up the ladder on the leg* Hey, Nightwish. We came to get you back.
Nightwish: *weakly* ...Rip his slagging tail off.
Spazz: After you're better, okay?
Wake: ... *curious, moves closer to the berth*
Spazz: *goes over to the edge and looks down at him* C'mon. What're you waiting for?
Wake: *small frown, moves to climb up the ladder as well* *mutter* Rat owes me another &$#%&%ing drink for this...
Spazz: *Look* Hey, if you're allergic to squishies I can try and figure out something myself.
Wake: It's not that... It's the fact that Rat's being a moron... *up on the berth now* And I don't know how to make him knock it off, even with as long as I've known him...
Spazz: Oh. *relaxes* Yeah well, Rhinox's known him longer, and look what that's got him.
Nightwish: *just scowling as she tries to focus on Spazz and the stranger*
Wake: ...Mind telling me what happened? All I could get outta Rat was that Rhinox up and left or something...
Spazz: After Rat turned him human and he got mad. Rhinox doesn't handle being mad well right now.
Wake: ... *mutter*Shoulda stolen the slagging thing back... *coughs* Okay. Tell me what to do here...
Spazz: Her head's broken, and quick movements make her dizzy. So put one hand under her shoulders, and one under her knees, and lift her.
Nightwish: *scowl*
Wake: *soothingly* Easy... I'm just trying to help... *carefully doing as Spazz instructed, and doing it slowly so as not to make Nightwish dizzy*
Nightwish: *scowls more deeply and lays her injured arm across her chest*
Spazz: Don't mind her. She's like that with everyone but the kids.
Wake: ...Okay then... *holds Nightwish carefully* What next?
Spazz: Brace yourself. *puts a hand on his arm and teleports them to the medbay*
Dinobaby: *hiding in a cupboard. Growls*
Wake: *attention going to the cupboard* Hey, runt. Behaving yourself?
Dinobaby: *tries to hiss, but bitty human mouth doesn't work too well for that. Instead peeks out and SCOWLS*
Nightwish: *small unhappy sound as she squeezes her eyes shut*
Spazz: *getting the nest of blankets on the table fixed so Nightwish can lay there*
Wake: *will gently set Nightwish down on the blanket nest once Spazz is finished re-arranging it*
Nightwish: *fingers tangle in an afghan as she shudders slightly. But then her eyes open again and she frowns at WakeJumper again* Who...?
Wake: I'm WakeJumper... One of Rat's old pals...
Spazz: She's Nightwish. Rat's current default girlfriend. *rolls optics slightly* Oh yeah. And I'm Spazz.
Wake: ...*looks to Spazz with a slightly disbelieving look on his face* Spazz.... as in the one Rat said is pretty much the ship's computer?
Spazz: *head tilt* That's me.
Wake: ... Huh...
Spazz: *lifts a brow plate* You expected something different. *yes, that voice just came out of the speaker on the wall*
Wake: *attention goes to the speaker on the wall* ... Or someone taller? *prolly is gonna get smacked at some point*
Spazz: *uses her vocalizer this time* I'm a giant for my kind.
Wake: ... Your kind? *puzzled*
speakerSpazz: *as Spazz goes to get Dinobaby out of the cupboard* I'm a Sewercon. How much do you know about other realities?
Wake: Er... not much... to be honest...
Spazz: *as she comes back with the baby in her arms* Well have you been to the Black Dog yet?
Wake: No... but I have heard of it... talked to the owner's kid near that optic-sore of a sign...
Spazz: You really are green. *databursts him the 'Multiverse 101' book*
Wake: ...Only to the Nexus stuff... *proceeds to go over the book, more out of curiosity than anything*
book: *explains other realities, focuses on different TF tech in different realities. Explains 'Maximal', 'basic', 'bayformer', etc*
Wake: *brows up as he continues to read*
Spazz: *moving to sit on the side of Nightwish's table and tuck Dinobaby in with her*
Nightwish: *expression turns to a smirk as she looks at the little guy, who is slightly wibbly and very snuggly right now*
Wake: *brows climbing higher as he gets to an 'interesting' part of the book*
speakerSpazz: What?
Wake: All of these different types of tech.... I didn't even know they existed! *has a bit of a giddy grin on his face, already drafting plans in his mind for some of the things he's read about*
speakerSpazz: ....Dork.
Wake: ... *small shrug* It's better than Puppy or Mutt... *grin*
Dinobaby: Puppy stinky.
Wake: ... *sigh*
Spazz: Wait till the LOL wears off and he tries to eat your face.
Wake: ... *eyes Dinobaby warily*
Dinobaby: *chewing on Small Cheetor's ear as he snuggles Nightwish. Looks hungry*
Wake: ...Rat didn't tell me that on the tour...
Spazz: I guess he's so used to it that it just slipped his mind. *small chuckle*
Wake: *wryly* I got shanghaied and had a stasis bomb put on me for this? *chuckles*
Dinobaby: Wait till Nightwish better. Then really see fight. :p
Nightwish: *frowning as she eats the cheese and veggies Spazz is feeding her*
Wake: *snerk* If it's anything like the fights Rat and I used to get into over who made the decisions...
Spazz: Did you leave Rat shaped marks in the wall and try to rip off body parts?
Nightwish: *smirk as she remembers good times*
Wake: Nah... but there was one time that we got into it, and it took a couple of mechs about the size of Rhinox to separate us... 'course, we were both overcharged as pit...
Nightwish: That doesn't count. *feeds some of the food to Dinobaby, though he only wants the meat*
Wake: Like slag, it doesn't! *quick glance over his shoulder to make sure Rattrap's not around to see him showing off* I've still got the scar from where the %^@$# bit me! *moves a piece of armor aside to show the (rather small) scar on his arm*
Spazz: *projects a holo of the last time Rat and Nightwish got on each others' nerves*
Wake: ... Slagging PIT....
Spazz: Like I said.... *feeds Nightwish and Dinobaby more* Oh, and you totally wanna try the trivia game on the ship's computer. *hazing the 'new' guy? Yup. She is Frenzy's creation.*
Wake: Trivia game? *curious now, as evidenced by how quickly his ears perked up*
Spazz: Yeah. Starcaller loves it, and Nightwish is making more levels just because he asked for 'em.
Wake: Huh... Must be pretty good then... *will head to find someplace to play the game at in a bit*
Spazz: Over six hundred questions so far.
Dinobaby: *drools meat juice* ^_^
Wake: Er... will you all be alright here? *wants to play the game now, plz*
Spazz: *sobers* Yeah. We're okay.
Nightwish: *is not smirking as she eats. You can't prove anything*
Wake: *databursts Spazz his comm frequency* If anything happens, call me.
Spazz: Yeah, sure. *intent on feeding crewmates*
Wake: ... *scoots off to play the game*
Dinobaby: *rotten little chuckle once he's gone*
Spazz: Shhhh.
*A few minutes later, there's a pained yelp from the direction WakeJumper went*
Spazz: *drops food down Nightwish's front as she succumbs to a fit of the snorting giggles*
speakerSpazz: Got one wrong already?
Wake: *rude hand gesture at the speaker*
speakerSpazz: *silent, though a 3D tree starts building itself carefully on the large main viewscreen*
Wake: *look of intense concentration as he answers a few of the questions correctly. Then, he's zapped again after answering a question incorrectly* $#$%#&%$ *&$^!!!!!!!!!!!!
speakerSpazz: *builds tree, build builds tree. And wishes Rhinox weren't organic so she could see what was going on with he and Rat*
Wake: *trying one last time, before he's down and out for the count, the smell of singed dog hair filling the room* @_@
speakerSpazz: *scans to see how he is, and then snerks and resumes her graphic coding*
