And in the midst of all the drama...

Yes, I've picked up another stray mechanism. He looks Autobot-built, but he's pretty confused and vulnerable, so please nobody mess with him. Or I'll put you on kindergarten duty. *means it*

((Mun's note: Nobody tell Roddy who he is right away, please? Marisa's got something else plotted out.))

Spike is leaning on Roddy as if he's about to collapse at any second. He gazes around, not recognizing anything.

"This isn't... where are we?"

[danielwitwicky]

Daniel had gotten back from the Nexus a while ago and when he sees the robot clinging to Rodimus, he scowls in disgust.

"That thing tried to attack me, you know," he mumbles, "'course he thought I was Dad."

[giri_guy]

*watery smile* Sorry, Danny. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Will you do me a favor?

[danielwitwicky]

Daniel grins. "'Course I will, Roddy. What'cha need?"

*After Rodimus Prime gets Autospike over to the infirmary and comes back outside, a dark supersonic jet goes winging by overhead. He's still scouting out 'the Nexus', though he realizes that he has long since gone beyond its bounds. But the air is pleasant; this is the world he loves, unravaged by the forces of the Void.

So Jetstorm flies over Earth and is happy.*

[giri_guy]

*On impulse, Rodimus glances up to witness a black jet cavorting in the air just over his head. It's not anyone he recognizes, but there's something familiar about it... He stays by the city's wall, not raising the alarm just yet but keeping that option open.*

*On impulse he activates the zoom function in his optics. Now he can just pick out four small round things dangling from the jet's wings...*

*...!!!*

That'll be Void's second...

[blackwingdove]

*It is indeed. Jetstorm continues to frolic in the sky; he's knows this place belongs to the Autobots, but it's not as if he cares.*

[giri_guy]

*steps away from the wall, alerting Autobot City to keep a target lock ready on this guy*

/Attention unidentified flier - this is Rodimus Prime, and you're in Autobot airspace. Identify yourself!/ *Hey, that sounded pretty professional.*

[corruptedhope]

*Perhaps he's bored. Or curious. Or too cocky for his own Unicronian good. But a dark figure is most certainly stalking about Autobot City, inspecting things for his own benefit. Those who get too close to his general area feel a chill go down their back and decide on an alternate route. When he gets tired of it, he'll go download Teletraan's database and then go kill things*

[apprentice_lurk]

*it's unsettling. Jetstorm's left already, and she's still got this nasty, jumpy, uncomfortable feeling - like something horrible's about to happen.

No, hang on, more like when something horrible's happening and you don't know about it yet*

[corruptedhope]

*Void hums to himself as he pokes through the files of Ultra Magnus (who had suddenly decided that he should go take a walk)* Huh. Lot's changed.

[giri_guy]

*Were Rodimus there, he'd point out that less has changed in his verse than in the Void's.*

*He's not, though. Still outside, and the only indication of any impending trouble is that the Matrix is freaking the hell out. He shifts back, one hand to his frantic-pulsing chest.*

*softly* I think we've been had, 'Boots... go find the seniors and raise the security alert. I'm going back inside. *checking to make sure his rifle is still where it's supposed to be... and adding a short burst of "hey, wake up" signal toward a section of space where he's sure that his Unicronians will pick it up*

[danielwitwicky]

Daniel stomps in and growls. "Roddy, that new bot, Autospike? I don't like him." He crosses his arms. "He just keeps staring at me with this weird look on his face. I think..." his eyes widen with a disturbed look, "I think he wants to eat me."

[giri_guy]

*blink* *blinkblink*

...Believe me, Daniel, he does not want to eat you. *snickerfit*

[danielwitwicky]

"What's so funny?" Daniel snaps, scowling. "What if he's a Decepticon spy or a Quintesson.. thing?"

[giri_guy]

He's not, I promise he's not. *tries to get his snickering under control* I checked out his background myself. He's completely on the level.
