09:41:32 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury cautiously slips back into the factory. Their base is pathetic, at best, and she'd seen little of interest so far, but she wasn't about to give up so quickly. The moment she slips back in, she resumes her former disguise, softening her features so she looked harmless and shocked, as if something had just happened her. Someone will find her quickly enough; she knew that. This place was too slagging small for people to not notice someone's absence.
09:45:33 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent stops in his tracks, staring at the newcomer. He'd mostly kept to himself at the factory and the bot was unfamiliar to him. Still, if she wasn't supposed to be there, surely alarms would be blaring. "Uh...hello?" he ventures, not sure what to say. It was obvious he'd noticed her, so he couldn't simply go on his merry way as if he hadn't.
09:47:32 PM <Cricket91> "Glad to see you came back in one piece," Axle muttered, as his helm tilted slightly toward her in a nod. Pushing himself off the wall he gave her a look-over and then frowned slightly out of concern and growing mistrust. "I'm going to assume you're still in shock, but I'd appreciate if you'd give a little warning before just... disappearing," he paused to glance to the redhead, "She's a friend." Though the last statment was spoken with an almost questioning tone - intended to let the femme know she was still under watch for "suspicious behavior".
09:53:45 PM <TurboTracks> She looked down at the human for a moment... oh great. Those creatures are... "H-hello?" she said back uncertainly. She looked over at Axle and frowned apologetically. "I... the medic said I should test my wheels to make sure that that shot didn't cause any damage that he needed to fix..." she stuttered out. [Warwing: Don't misquote me ]
09:57:25 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent frowned, looking between the two. "A friend? What kind of friend?" He was still suspicious of all of them, not just Mercury. But...a female bot? The teen remembered Wolf being referred to as a 'her', but she was, well, a wolf. Not a shapely car.
09:58:24 PM <TurboTracks> [*falls over laughing* NOT THAT SORT OF FRIEMD VINCE]
09:58:44 PM <Cricket91> Hurr hurr ]
09:58:55 PM <TurboTracks> [FRIEND EVEN]
09:59:37 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: HEY! I DON'T...Wait. c; Does that mean she's fair game?~))
09:59:52 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: DIBS. I CALLED DIBS! *glares at the redhead* ]
10:01:14 PM <TurboTracks> [Merci: NO!]
10:01:40 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: Sounds like the lady rejects your claim~))
10:03:15 PM <TurboTracks> [Merci: And yours too meatbag ]
10:03:42 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: In time, babe, in time...))
10:04:04 PM <TurboTracks> [Merci:  *prepares to squash*]
10:04:43 PM <Cricket91> "...An ally," Axle rephrased with a deeper frown as he turned back to the femme. "Regardless. We're too exposed out here. Especially with all the slag that's happened recently - I don't want to stage another rescue," his almost condescending smirk thrown to the human... He still had some questions for that one anyway.
10:05:38 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: *blinks and pulls Vince away* We need to talk strategy.. ]
10:05:58 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: What kind of strategy?~))
10:06:41 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: Gettin' aft.  ]
10:07:19 PM <TurboTracks> [Mikaze says she's game as long as she gets to kill you all afterwards.]
10:07:43 PM <TurboTracks> [... *shoves that character back into the dim interiors of her brain*]
10:08:01 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: Ooh, deal!))
10:08:24 PM <Cricket91> Those two never got to interact. That should happen. ]
10:10:33 PM <TurboTracks> "Trust me... I won't be going out again... not after running into that crazy psycho rogue again," she said with a barely repressed shudder. "I... got away before he did anything though," she said. "I... don't think he followed." Sometimes honesty actually works quite well, oddly enough. It would help explain her feigned jumpiness at least, hopefully make her look even more vulnerable and harmless. Hopefully.
10:12:30 PM <TurboTracks> [Merci: You try and I'll slice off your helms.  ))
10:13:41 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: C'mon, babe... With our combined charm, you've got nothin'! ]
10:13:45 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vince smirks. "You, too?" He walks over casually, and grins up at her, taking his time to study her frame. "Sounds like there's a lot of crazy psycho rogues around lately," he all but purrs.
10:13:50 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((DOWN, boy!))
10:14:07 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: I LIKE THIS ONE. ]
10:15:04 PM <TurboTracks> ((Especially since she's not the most femmely femme  Keep your eyes on something more femmely Vince))
10:15:36 PM <TurboTracks> ((*))
10:15:44 PM <TurboTracks> ((... *))
10:15:50 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((He hits on anything female.

))
10:18:00 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: I do~ ))
10:18:05 PM <SkylerFarrier> (())
10:18:09 PM <Cricket91> xD ]
10:20:37 PM <Cricket91> He couldn't hide the flicker of recognition when she spoke of the 'rogue'. No doubt, the one that they'd run into that had messed her up before hand. Though, before he could speak, his expression deadpaned as... the kid... "What's your name anyway, punk?" All this time, and he'd still never learned the boy's name.
10:22:41 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury rumbled questioningly and stepped away from the odd fleshbag. She almost thought it was hitting on her. Hard to tell with organics though. Curious creatures, but hard to comprehend.
10:29:01 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent supressed a frown, he bet she turned into a slick car. Pity she was moving away. "Names Vince DiCola."
10:33:11 PM <Cricket91> "Vince," he repeated flatly before just shaking his helm and addressing the femme, "He's harmless... as far as I can tell." Though a wary glance was shot back at the kid, "...Right?"
10:39:49 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury looked up at Axle and nodded uncertainly. "Just... spooked me a bit," she said. "As long as he's harmless..."
10:40:45 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent scowls. "Right," he grumbles. Sure, rub it in that he was helpless next to them.
10:43:18 PM <Cricket91> Glad they were at an agreement, he gave a nod, then addressed Fireburst, "Where was the rogue?" This had sparked a whole new set of concerns. Rogues were worse than 'Cons... NO rules other than they're own twisted ideas of morals.
10:43:30 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: Oh, c'mon, I'm not THAT bad. D: ]
10:43:45 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Fireburst?))
10:43:57 PM <TurboTracks> [She's undercover, lied about name]
10:44:50 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Ah.))
10:44:51 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury pointed out the door, repressing another shudder. "About... three or four miles out that direction. Why? You're... not planning going after him... are you?"
10:45:57 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent supported this idea, it would leave him alone with the femme. "Aww, don't worry, babe, you're safe here."
10:48:51 PM <Cricket91> "I've been considering it," he muttered before rolling his optics at Vince's statement. "...He's right though; I doubt the rogue would come this close to the city."
10:52:36 PM <TurboTracks> "If he's not coming... then no reason to bother... right," she asked, her optics brightening for a moment. "I'd... rather not be..." Left alone. She won't say that out loud though. That's playing the role a little too well.
10:53:25 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent grins, this was PERFECT. "I could keep ya company, pretty lady~" And he'd be GLAD to.
10:57:29 PM <Cricket91> "Oh come off it, squirt," Axle barked to Vince, holding his helm a moment.
10:58:46 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury took another step back and frowned uncertainly. "I... don't even know you," she said.
10:59:24 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent spreads his arms. "Does it really look like I can do anything?" He turns to glare at Axle.
11:04:21 PM <Cricket91> Axle returned the glare with a neon-hued one of his own, "Not that part! I don't care if you hang around, but cut it with the romantics!"
11:09:24 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury stood there dumbly, looking shocked. Her servo was twitching to set both of these idiots back in their place though.
11:18:30 PM <SkylerFarrier> "It's called 'being polite'! Yeesh!" Vincent folded his arms across his chest, grumbling to himself.
11:23:48 PM <Cricket91> "Polite, yeah," Axle snorted and then threw an apologetic glace to the femme. "At any rate, I'll keep an audio open..." Starting pas the two of them he added, "Are you feeling better?" The question sincere, seeings how the work that Warwing had done seemed to have repaired her to her previous state.
11:29:09 PM <TurboTracks> "Yes, much better than before..." she said. She's just glad she can drive on balance again, without that door hanging awkwardly off to the side. She pretended like she didn't even hear that romantic bit at all. "So... am I going to be kicked out since I'm repaired?" she asked with worry.
11:31:02 PM <SkylerFarrier> "And why would we kick out a femme in need? Would be cruel!" He glares at Axle, as if daring him to object. Vincent also takes the opportunity to sidle closer to Mercury again.
11:32:11 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Advance warning I'm gonna be going to bed in 20 minutes or so.))
11:32:42 PM <TurboTracks> [Okay~]
11:33:44 PM <Cricket91> Copy that. ]
11:36:03 PM <Cricket91> The objection fell on already conflicted audios, though Axle knew better than to send out anybot that had seemed as helpless as this one. "No...I'm not going to kick you out," he answered the both of them, though he shot a 'there happy' look down to Vince. "As long as you are willing to keep me in the loop of your plans."
11:38:52 PM <TurboTracks> "Plans...?" she asked, seemingly confused. As far as they were concerned, she had none. "If you mean going out... it's okay. I don't plan on doing that again anytime soon."
11:42:51 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent smirks and nods in response, hoping Axle himself would go. That way, he could continue with his -futile- attempt to hit on Merci.
11:45:01 PM <Cricket91> "Fair enough," he muttered with a forced smile. Pointing to his optics, then back down to Vince, he turned and then started back off into the factory.
11:45:21 PM <Cricket91> [skip meh. I want to see how this plays out. ewe ]
11:45:43 PM <SkylerFarrier> (( ;A; I have 5 minutes.))
11:46:00 PM <Cricket91> THEN MAKE MAGIC IN 5 MINS! xD ]
11:46:43 PM <SkylerFarrier> ((Vince: ))
11:47:05 PM <Cricket91> xDD ]
11:48:49 PM <TurboTracks> Mercury looked oddly over at the human. Slagit, she didn't want left alone in this situation.
11:49:52 PM <TurboTracks> [Did I strategically wait until later so he could let hits in? Maybe ]
11:50:16 PM <TurboTracks> [Actually. No. I got distracted ]
11:50:52 PM <SkylerFarrier> Vincent grins cheerily. "How about we go for a drive?"
11:51:59 PM <Cricket91> Burnout: FRAG NO! I already tried that!! D:< ]
11:52:03 PM <TurboTracks> "But... I'm not supposed to go anywhere," she said.
11:53:15 PM <SkylerFarrier> "I think the meaning was 'unsupervised'. Aw, come on, we won't go far. Please?"
11:54:50 PM <TurboTracks> "I... don't think that's what he meant," she said. Slag if she's going to play chaffeur for the human. "Anyways... what if he's still out there?"
11:55:50 PM <SkylerFarrier> "Then I'll be able to supply a second opinion of the freak." Slag it, he was getting tired of being cooped up in here.
11:59:18 PM <TurboTracks> "I... don't want to have to have a second opinion of him though..." she said, shuddering again. "Not after that."
11:59:35 PM <SkylerFarrier> His face falls. "Pleeeaaaasse?"
