0003: NEW ARRIVALS

Who: New Arrivals, Captain Jack Hollis, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon
Warnings: None

When awakening, you'll find the area you're in to be very busy. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The room is large, but not quite large enough for some of the bigger Cybertronians. They've been given drone bodies at least, skinny little things with no real features beyond primitive masks made of paper plates. There's seats for everyone, at least, well-cushioned and comfortable, and the room is pleasantly lit.

A few Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. Three men stand at the head. One is Graham Baker, a slightly nervous-seeming middle-aged man wearing a multi-layered business suit that seems rumpled and oversized. The other two men are dressed in military uniforms, one with the blue undershirt and piping of Command, while the other wears the gold of Science.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with.]

Isn't it obvious? A man of such an intelligence of mine delves deeply into the realm of science and machinery! Nothing is beyond my grasp or understanding in such fields as my inventions stand shoulder to shoulder... no... they stand even TALLER than even that of the greatest minds that came before me!

To design, to create, to improve and adapt to even the most arduous of circumstances and most unbelievable of situations! That is what my brilliance is pushed towards! The very heart of the human soul! Our drive to overcome all adversity with brilliance and ingenuity! And no other human is as brilliant as DOCTOR WEST!!

[Tron... as West pontificates and gesticulates wildly, you will notice that his cowlick was... emoting. It was reacting with his mood and now somehow resembled a lightningbolt. How? ... Really good hairgel maybe?]

[That is very impressive hair, it's true.]

So can you get us back where we belong?

Ahahahaha.... No.

[Suddenly the cowlick deflates like a balloon with its air let out and West's expression looks dead serious.]

Even a man as brilliant as I am has limits that he would place before his path. Attempting to open a door through space, to other universes, other realities. Such a thing would be the very DREAM of a scientific mind! But I also see the risks, for you see, opening one door can open others, even a brilliant mind like my own could barely calculate just where such a door would open to!

And I know what the very worst case scenario can be. Not personally, but when Cthulhu itself was used as a sacrifice in order to attempt such a feat to throw open doors that were never meant to be opened, even a brilliant mind like myself would be wary.

[Well.. that took some time to parse. Tron frowns a bit.]

So we are trapped here, because it is inadvisable to repeat the experiment that brought us?

[His User-to-things-that-make-sense database is, alas, a work in progress.]

All right.
