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.]

"Get the jump— n-no, I would never do that!"

She sighs, running a hand through her hair in stress.

"If you're not going to help, just tell me and I'll stop bothering you, okay?"
driftlock: (dubious)

Well, frag. You need to work on your strategy. Never gonna beat anyone if you don't go after that whole element of surprise slag.

"You humans make no fraggin' sense."

He just rolls his optics, because organics.

"Didn't say I wasn't gonna help, did I?"

Being contrary: his lifestyle. But he's thinking about fraggin' Rodion of all places and Gasket and...frag.

"Your friend got a name?"

She rolls her eyes at his first comment, but pauses in surprise when his other words begin to sink in. There's a marked shift in her manner; there's a smile suddenly, bright and grateful.

"Um, there are a few, but the first are Stephanie Brown and Saul Goodman. Thank you so much, Mr. Robot!"
driftlock: (what the...?)

"Deadlock," he corrects, almost offhand. Mr Robot? Frag no. He's no 'Mr' anything.

"Never heard of them." Then again, human names make no fraggin' sense. Unlike, you know, Deadlock. That's a name a mech can be proud of.

"Don't thank me till we find 'em, anyway."
