*Leader-1 warps in with Quint in his arms. He shakes off the slight dizziness and releases him, stepping out of the warp gate. The chamber they are in is not in good condition, with jagged edges of metal sticking out from the slightly curvedwalls and floor and littering the floor. The atmosphere(or lack thereof, they are in orbit over Cybertron) is still and dark, although a tad on the ominous side for no real reason*

You all right, Quint? It takes a bit of getting used to.

*blinks a bit, looking around. That was different... His secondary cooling system shuts off due to the lack of atmosphere, and it takes him a few seconds to get used to the change. He looks over at Leader-1, wondering how to reply... sound doesn't carry in empty space. For that matter, how had he heard the Minicon? A quick system check identified the proper communication channel frequency...*

I.. I'm ok. We're in space, aren't we...

	Yep. In space over Cybertron. Only it's a different Cybertron then the one I live on, so I don't think anyone's going to come looking for me. Us. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

*looks around curiously, wonders if there's a spot he can see a view of the planet from... doesn't seem to find the place creepy at all, compared to all the Skull Fortresses...*

This was someone's head? He must have been as big as the moon... I mean, I knew he would have had to be big to be able to live inside his hollowed-out head... but... I was thinking big like Gamma... this is... this is huge...

	He is as big as a moon; he was a moon. Or at least, we thought he was a moon until he started transforming. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Wow... still looking around, starts idly straightening up assorted pieces of scrap... cleaning up out of sheer habit ((heh... curious kid's attention has wandered... may have to be reminded why they're here ;) )) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-23 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. It's still really creepy to be living inside of a thing that nearly destroyed your planet. Boots says he's dead for now but...shivers a bit takes a piece of scrap out of Quint's hands as he tidies up Hey, don't worry about that. Nothing useful under all this junk anyway, I looked.

	pogo_boy 2005-07-23 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	looks a little embarrased I... guess it's habit. I used to clean a lot at Skull Fortress. shrugs It's not like the Metools and other maintenance robots didn't, it's just that... I needed something to do... looks around If he's dead, he won't get better without someone to repair him, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-23 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	It's Unicron. The rules don't apply. Who knows what he can do? as much to himself as Quint But it's just his head now. He can't do anything as just a head. kicks a few pieces of metal away, clearing a spot on the floor Like I said, I don't know where to find any minicon-sized weapons, so maybe we should start out with hand-to-hand stuff.

*reminded of why they're here, goes to help clean a spot, nods slightly* I guess so. I... *hesitates, should probably warn him, but doesn't like talking about this*

Um... If I... start acting strange... *fidgets, unsure how to explain, shakes his head* I... was made to be a weapon, but... my programming's kind of messed up. If I start acting like I'm not aware of what I'm doing... will you be able to... to knock me out so I don't do anything I shouldn't...?

*fidgets slightly, isn't sure what the reaction to this will be...*

	a bit confused, wondering if this is just another one of Quint's quirks Anything you shouldn't like what? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

*fidgets, looks down* I... kind of... blank out in fights, sometimes. I guess I sort of fall back on original programming. I don't even know what I'm doing when that happens, most of the time...

It's like... I... *sighs* Part of me doesn't like to fight... I don't like to hurt people. But... it's what I am, and part of me... likes being what I was made to be...

*shakes his head a bit* I... just... I don't want to hurt you if I... lose control. It scares me, I guess, when that happens.

	((And as to the sound thing...technically, he's not hearing Leader-1 speak at all, but a translation of his "beeps", the minicon language. Which may explain why he can still understand him in space)) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	((was trying the usual macguffin around speaking in vaccumn ;) Don't want to RP this out with a mute Quint... Beeps or not, sound doesn't carry in space :) )) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	((No, but magical translation thingies might. And your way makes sense.)) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-24 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	I... I can disable my weapons systems... just in case. starts to do so That way in case.. that.. happens again, I won't be able to use the discs or Sakugarne. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-24 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe you shouldn't. We could try fighting with you using all your potential, and mine too. Like you would in a real fight. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-24 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	looks scared of the idea N... no... I don't want to fight you for real... W.. We'll hurt each other. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-24 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	No, no, not like actually hurting each other. Just...look, let's take a break for now, all right? We can try again later. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-25 01:07 am UTC (link)
	sits down. looking confused How can you fight without hurting each other. That's what fighting does... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-25 01:16 am UTC (link)
	frustrated-Quint really doesn't get anything Primus below... You spar. Like hitting at each other just to practice fighting. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-25 01:25 am UTC (link)
	still just looks confused I.. um.. Do you mean like when... when me and my brothers would play sometimes? Because... well... they didn't really do anything that my self-repair couldn't fix, but... it... still hurt.. sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-25 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. I don't know, your brothers sound pretty rough. The whole point is practicing, not really trying to hurt someone. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-25 01:39 am UTC (link)
	fidgets I.. don't think I know how to do that. We... didn't really practice, much... I mean... I had a couple weeks before I fought Rock the first time, and there were some tests with Sakugarne... I... had to practice on some metools and other 'bots... to show I could use it right. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	little_pen 2005-07-25 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Only a couple weeks? No wonder you got beaten. What was Dr. Wily thinking? It's kinda like that, just not with someone who's your enemy. a loud crash is heard, possibly as a piece of metal somewhere dislodging from the ceiling. Leader-1 jumps and looks around What was that? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	pogo_boy 2005-07-25 02:14 am UTC (link)
	looks down The metools weren't enemies either, but I still destroyed them... I had orders. I.. I taught myself to fix them later, though... looks up at the sound of the crash, gets out one of the discs I don't know... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)
