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.]

It's difficult - the functionists certainly didn't help inspire confidence in any of them. The passage of time hasn't seemed to help, either.

( which is regrettable. but he does smile slightly, coupled with a nod. )

Two are better than one.

Eugh... sounds like a real mess.

[Yeah, Ironhide that's putting it mildly.]

'Course it is. We got this, yeah?
tomemyoutliers: (chatting about deep important things)

[personal profile] tomemyoutliers 2014-05-05 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

( but that gets a smile all the same. )

We do indeed. It will be a pleasure working with you in the future, Ironhide.
arnhaid: (kid what the fuck)

[personal profile] arnhaid 2014-05-05 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Yeah.

[Awkward back-of-neck rubbing here.]

Sure. Sure gonna be interestin', that's for sure.
tomemyoutliers: (gotta go be noble and shit)

[personal profile] tomemyoutliers 2014-05-08 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought that went without saying.

( sorry he doesn't know how interesting. )
arnhaid: (Are you speaking words?)

[personal profile] arnhaid 2014-05-08 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. But... just. Sayin'. I guess.

[How do all you smart types make his words so stumbling.]
tomemyoutliers: (chatting with my bros)

[personal profile] tomemyoutliers 2014-05-12 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
( that gets a grin, and a quick touch of ironhide's arm. sorry, shockwave doesn't have any concept of personal space. )

Excellent. I'll see you around -- Ironhide, wasn't it?
arnhaid: (Say wha huh now?)

[personal profile] arnhaid 2014-05-12 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's too surprised to really react much. Coming from Empty Ass Cybertron(C) didn't really prepare him for all this social interaction. He blinks a few times, and shrugs.]

[Hey, wasn't like this was an exam or anything.]


Yeah. Can't miss me. I'm usually the guy in the middle of things gettin' blown to scrap.
