crux_fleet | [ 001 Ϟ VIDEO ] What do I gotta do to get a drink around here?

[ This little adventure? Not exactly the vacation of a lifetime. Flashpoint's never missed her flask of engex more than now. She needs a drink, or she's gonna start rubbing the enamel clean off her faceplates. Sharing hangar number-why-do-they-need-this-many-hangars with Deadlock hasn't exactly encouraged peace-of-mind inducing solid recharge. Two extremely long weeks later she's finally got her own place though, and HELL YES the fabricators sure do make energon as well as organic food. There's just one critical problem. ]

[ They don't make booze. Apparently engex was not high on the engineering staff's list of quality of life enhancements for Cybertronians. Well, frag that. She'll just make her own. Uh. Somehow... ]

So. My people subsist on energon and the oh-so-kind engineers here have programmed the fabricators to make it but...

Mmmm...

I'm hoping to modify the formula. A little variety shall we say? Increased, uh, 'potency' most definitely.

[ Hopefully with inebriating effects. Hey, no one said it wasn't legal! Right? ]

Not a scientist though. Anyone give me a hand?

[ Yes, she really is asking for help making moonshine. ]

[And if this broadcast had fine print it would read 'proceed at your own risk; energon has explosive tendencies' but fine print means caution and caution + Flashpoint aren't exactly a common package deal.]

[The fact that Flashpoint is one of the handful of Cybertronians on this ship means that Proteus has to be concerned and annoyed by what she does. The only way he's making any leeway in this place is by looking after the herd of cats that arrived with him and making sure they don't piss off the human hosts. Because that would make him look bad.]

[And yeah, a warrior handling dangerous chemicals is high up on the list of 'stupid ideas that should never see the light of day'.]

You should keep your hands away from energon until you get someone more qualified.

[Who the frag is it this time? She'd check for a network ID or something but she's too busy being insulted and saying the first thing that comes out of her mouth, oops.]

Is that a shot at me not making intellectual class? If so it's pretty cheap.

[OH NO YOU DIDN'T. But yes, she sure did call you cheap.]

[UGH. You warrior class blockheads are so goddamn obtuse. Can't you see he's trying to make your lives simpler and easier to understand?!]

No, it's me insuring that you don't blow a hole into the hull of the ship.

Unless you're aware of the minutiae of energon distillery, I would suggest keeping clear until you find someone who does.

[Her fist is obtuse, let her show you! Then your face will be too. :D]

What? That's why I'm heeeere, asking for assistance. If I was that stupid I would've started already.

[Nevermind that if she gets no takers she might, ya know, try anyway. ...maybe near his house.]

Why do you care so much anyway?

[ D:< WOW RUDE.]

Because our reputation with other aliens is delicate enough without detonating parts of the ship.

[It's today's special Proteus: Rude with a side of snark and an extra helping of petulance. Eat up!]

'Delicate enough'? Interesting way to phase 'most of the greater galaxy wishes we were dead.' Not sure who you talked to though, but most of these people seem to have never even heard of us.

[Proteus hates getting a taste of his own attitude.]

I'm sorry, - what?

I missed the part where our all our diplomatic ties have apparently gone up in flames.

[There's more where that came from. Hey, war makes one bitter!]

[She laughs though, because GROSS IRONY.]

Yeah, you sure as frag missed it. But then war that lasted as long as ours did sends more than just diplomatic ties up in flames.

[LE RECORD SCRATCH.]

...What?

Need your audio tuned Proteus?

[Let her help, her hand might slip and disable your vocalizer in the process. Oops.]

That rust stain of a Grand Imperium led us straight into four million years of civil war. Practically killed the planet and spread to most of the other systems in our galaxy.

[Golf clap.]

The Grand Imperium did nothing of the sort.

[Nonono shit this is bad]
[this is so bad]

Unless it changed drastically since I last remembered it.

[Ugh don't get her started, she has high scores in Mighty Will and Powerful Ranting.]

You could say that I guess. [It's so dry the words are almost brittle.] If by 'changed drastically' you mean the members of the New Senate actually tried to give a frag about the whole populace.

[Not that Zeta let them, but hey, that's a different subject!]

Doesn't matter though. The old senate paved the way, created the monster that drove the war.
