We know we serve someone else. We have swallowed our pride.
We march to this tune of loss. We take this in our stride.]

Current location: Sacrosanct
Current Physical Appearance: Very similar to how he normally is, insomuch a car robot...but...his optics are no longer red, they no longer even light up. They're blacker than the rest of him. Occasionally there will be a dull glow, but for the most part...they're blank.
Summary: So Hypatia attempted to repurpose a TransFormer who had already been repurposed by a higher-dimensional group of Good Guys sworn to protect the multiverse from being eated by the Beast of Time, after he had already been repurposed by a Dark God to serve as a Herald to the end of all things. This didn't end very well ( ... )

Whenever possible, he tries to be first; it's not a matter of pride or 'winning', but of safety. His presence is accepted by the drones, his glares or stares are enough reason for any sentient machine to consider the odds of survival against such an unstable processor, and reconsider their presence. And if he's not there first...then it more than likely means Hypatia is taking his attention, and to make excuses to get away would endanger his 'relationship' with her. Something he wishes to avoid at all costs.
It's gotten to the point of an unspoken rule; if he's not there, don't wait for him. They will try again later.
But since he is there, since he looks up at a sound, he scans towards the oncoming noise before nodding once. It passes as a greeting for him, nowadays.

He'd accepted being under a metaphorical dragon's wing as far as the meetings quickly. Another partner relationship, in a way; he's kept out of trouble, and occasionally fixes what he can on Nemesis. Build is close enough to a Primaxian for government work, even if finding the proper materials to fix the armor is rare. But underneath they're all still cabling and wires. And Barricade's excellent with Primax groundframes.
Barricade's sensors are tuned outward still, just in case, as he returns the nod and looks the other mech over with his lower optics, his functioning upper optic trained on his face. Typical greeting, for him. "Anything need tweaking?"

Current location: Asphodel, bitches.
Current Physical Appearance: Older, more matured body. His nubs are a bit bigger, he's a bit taller. Typical difference between a 13 year old and a 23 year old. Exact same style outfit, though. Fuck fashion.
Summary: GUESS WHO PREDICTED THIS SHIT?! BITCHES SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO OUR RESIDENT ROBOHATER.
Basically, the first signs of something fishy, Karkat was warning the shit out of everything that moved. Considering the fact that he was warning the shit out of everything that moved even before things got fishy, it's easy to believe no one listened. Ever. Since they never do.
When Hypatia made her move, Karkat gathered as many of his team of trolls as he could and absconded. It was early, quick, and as low-key as possible.
Karkat's living up to his Ancestor's legend, being the biggest, most persistent (most annoying) resistance asshole ever. He's pretty vocal about how the resistance should make more raids on Sacrosanct to TEAR DOWN THAT BULLSHIT ROBOMENANCE ( ... )

Fuck you, have some shitty beach sounds instead, courtesy of that asshole who lives outside your house and refuses to sleep anywhere that isnt a box and/or tiny failshack. This CD has been running on loop all night. Jack sleeps in. He's not going to turn it off any time soon (if ever).

He lie in bed, promising himself that when the CD repeated for the 612th time, he would do something about it. It had hit that 612th repeat about three hours ago.
"JACK." If Karkat's anything like me on a debate trip when someone deprives me of sleep, this is one of the most scariest sounds you could ever imagine. Fortunately for this log, Karkat won't be trying to smother anyone with a pillow BECAUSE THEY WERE SNORING SO FUCKING LOUD AND I HAD SEMIFINALS THE NEXT DAY AND GODDAMNIT HOW CAN YOU SLEEP LIKE THAT?!!
"JACK. JACK." Karkat's at Jack's ( ... )

Except it's Karkat and this happens every week, so everyone should've seen this coming.
He punches the flap out of the way to glare at his stabson, who is probably bleeding everywhere now. "What the fuck do you want?!"

Current Physical Appearance: Same as canon.
Summary: It wasn't long after Tali arrived on the station that the situation between Hypatia and the organics on the station began rapidly degenerating. She, for one, wasn't all that surprised when the shit hit the fan, and was one of the first to fight back, using her mechanical expertise to great advantage against synthetic foes. She was a part of Garrus' failed task force attempting to destroy the station, and was forced to fight her way back out and retreat to Asphodel when that proved impossible ( ... )

Current Physical Appearance: Older, starting to go grey by now, jeez. He still wears classy suits and bathes rarely. He also has A MILLION MORE ROBOPARTS which now include both arms, both eyes, everything from the waist-down, and most of his organs. He also has sharp metal teeth because I find the concept hilarious. His scar map has greatly expanded due to those roborgans listen above. He also wears fake skin over his right hand because too many roboparts kind of freak him out.
Summary: SO. ROBOPARTS. Jack may not be the most talented cyborg, but if nothing else he's proven he's very good at adjusting to suddenly having more mechanical bits. This also makes him a good guinea pig for what sorts of roboparts are compatible with human bodies. He was taken early on in the war and used for testing and experimentation (IRONY), leading to most of his body being replaced with mechanical parts. It sucked. A lot. The horrific torture kind of suck. Luckily enough, he was rescued before he lost all of ( ... )

It's mid-afternoon, and Jade is carrying a brown bag full of food to the cardboard box and knocking on the side. "Hey, anyone home?"

Jack stabs the flap open (after he hides his sketchbook that no one is allowed to see ever by sticking it inconspicuously under the shitty ammo pile). He looks grumpy, but he's always grumpy, so no one is surprised. The grumpiness goes down slightly when he sees it's Jade. It's impossible to keep a high level of grumpiness around her, she is just too damn cheerful.
"Not like I've got anywhere else to be." Also eyeing that bag because surprise, he still sucks at taking care of himself, way to fail Jack.

"A sandwich. Sorry, I didn't have any more..." She tosses the bag to him and sits down right outside the box.

Current location: Asphodel, sneaks up to Sacrosanct when possible, mostly to help Nemesis.
Current Physical Appearance: Pretty much the same, just a bit older with actual combed hair! However he's gotten beaten up his fair share of times, and his body does show it. Scar across one of his eyes - no longer has superior vision out of that one.
Summary: Luckily for Shockwave he may have been a Cybertronian, but he's one in a completely organic human body; and sparks aren't exactly something you can just hack into. However choosing sides wasn't easy for him. Synthetics against organics, is not something you put in front of a space robot whose primary function is conquer the universe for his race. The temptation to side with synthetics was always there and will likely always be there ( ... )
