Blackstar pays little mind to which direction he's pointed when he lifts away from the ocean's surface above the Decepticon base. He just wants to fly, and direction doesn't matter to him any more. Whatever sensors or radars or satellites these humans have, none of them would be able to pick him up now anyway, except for possibly as a blurry image ( Read more... )

Back to the control room... 0ut_of_sight February 15 2007, 03:42:03 UTC

((Continued from here.))

The Control Center's door slides open and Echoshift steps in. At one side of the room, taking up most of the entire wall, the main computer is still humming and active. The other consoles are also online, and thanks to the repair work that had been done earlier, all the hardware actually functions now and there are no more open panels with bits of wiring and circuit boards hanging untidily out of them. Looking around the room, it seems to Echoshift that that whole room appears generally rather less run-down than it did before.

Strata had done a good job.

Leaving the door unlocked, Echoshift heads over to the main computer while he waits for Steadfast to arrive and glances over the work he's done so far, pausing after a while to dig through the small pile of assorted Stuff that has managed to start accumulating on a nearby worktop. Somewhere around here he was sure he'd left a datapad with a list on it...

*As Blackstar appears, and Duskwing and her Mama talk, Wingblade cycles air through her intakes to try to get herself back under control. By the time Steadfast has finished, Wingblade has calmed down enough to at least be able to look like she's over it, and to relax her grip on Steadfast. She doesn't move away from Steadfast though.* I'm alright, Mama.

Duskwing scowls slightly, but listens to Steadfast; as she finishes speaking, he looks a lot less huffy. He frowns slightly at her, then finally shrugs. "Maybe I mis-mis--What's the slagging word?--mis-judged you."

"Echoshift's talked about me?" Duskwing sounds surprised, and gives Echoshift a puzzled look. "What'd he say?"

Re: Back to the control room... 0ut_of_sight February 16 2007, 04:54:20 UTC

Echoshift relaxes and looks less freaked out. He even manages to chuckle and give Duskwing a grin.

"Oh, nothing bad, don't worry." He shrugs. "She wanted to know how many of us there were here, I gave her a list of names, and she asked a few questions about you. So I told her you'd been helping out with the retrieval mission."

"That's what he said," Steadfast confirms, feeling relieved that Duskwing seems more inclined to let her off the hook now.

Giving Wingblade's air intake a reassuring squeeze, she comms her, //It's okay. I'm proud of you.//

Re: Back to the control room... midnightspook February 16 2007, 06:45:56 UTC

Blackstar relaxes from his confrontational loom, his expression smoothing out into one of guarded contemplation. Seeing Duskwing in his dying moment had shaken him. Not the death itself; he'd seen plenty of that in his years.

It had been the look in those fading crimson optics. He shudders, wondering if he'd looked that entreatingly frightened when his own lasercore had shattered so many years ago. He doesn't like seeing Duskwing upset like that.

He sighs. She hadn't been trying to be deliberately cruel. She's just... stupid. Which he finds supremely ironic, actually.

He doesn't, however, bother addressing what she'd said to him. She's not his Air Commander.

Duskwing looks definitely happier. He smiles. "Yeah, and we got the kid back!"

He looks at Echoshift and nods. "Okay, that's good then. Wish Long Haul had had your sense. Wouldn'a had to toss so many people outta my old compartment."

Duskwing glances at Blackstar and frowns. // You gonna say somethin' to Lavender there? She actually apologized! //

Re: Back to the control room... prankster_femme February 16 2007, 15:35:02 UTC

*Wingblade gives Steadfast a squeeze back, leaning against her briefly.* //Thank you, Mama.// *Flashes her a grin.*

Re: Back to the control room... midnightspook February 16 2007, 17:53:42 UTC

Blackstar heaves a small sigh and nods. Turning his attention back towards Steadfast, he, too, gives a small shrug.

"Mistakes happen. Even to the best of us," he offers.

Re: Back to the control room... lavender_wings February 16 2007, 21:59:04 UTC

Steadfast gives Wingblade a quick affectionate smile, then looks back at Blackstar, accepting his words of reconciliation - or the best thing in that direction she's going to get from him - with a nod.

"Speaking of things Echoshift told me," she addresses Duskwing, "he said you've seen Skywarp more recently than he has. How is he? Other than no longer a unicorn..."

Re: Back to the control room... stupidityinblue February 16 2007, 22:10:19 UTC

Duskwing stares at Steadfast blankly. "Skywarp? Oh, yeah. He remembered my name, but I think he forgot about the other stuff... He was wonderin' how he got locked out of his room so he had to port in. I told him it was Echoshift's fault." He shrugs.

He gives Wingblade a puzzled frown. "Weren't you visiting him, too?"

Re: Back to the control room... 0ut_of_sight February 16 2007, 22:21:25 UTC

"You did? Maybe that was when I was playing around with the computer then. It messed up most of the locks on all the rooms. Though all the other affected doors were just unlocked, so I don't know why he had to port through his." A shrug.

Re: Back to the control room... stupidityinblue February 16 2007, 22:23:38 UTC

Duskwing scowled. "His old code didn't work. I had to tell him that the door was reset to default, and anyone could just walk in by punching the default code."

Re: Back to the control room... 0ut_of_sight February 16 2007, 22:27:55 UTC

"Ah. Well, I would've commed him too to let him know, but I didn't realize he was back at the time." Another shrug.

Re: Back to the control room... lavender_wings February 16 2007, 22:34:42 UTC

Steadfast cycles air, trying to not let the answer come out too testily, but there's still an undertone of a pout as she says, "If you messed up anything about my room, now would be a good time to tell me?"

Re: Back to the control room... stupidityinblue February 16 2007, 22:35:49 UTC

Duskwing scowls at her. "What would I be doing with your room?"
