[despite being in his robot form for the video, riptide is very clearly disturbed, but trying to cover it up with a faux grin.]

Earth is buggered!

[...oh.]

I just found out one of the DJD is here-- Vos. Tailgate, you around? I think we gotta find out a way to cut and run.

[riptide knows, deep down, he should save the humans in a situation like this. like autobots are supposed to, like skids said to megatron, but he's too scared to even consider staying and fighting the djd. that would be suicide. he's being a coward, and he hates it.]

Everyone else! It was nice knowing you. Sorry about your planet. Maybe try to focus on space flight before the rest of the DJD show up and kill you all?

Aren't you quite the expert on fighting other robots?

Re: video;

[knaval]

These people aren't like anything you've ever seen before, AI. They mutilated and destroyed a ship full of innocent mechs. For fun.

There's never just one of them. If Vos won't be killed, then we should leave them to their own devices in this sector.

[reexamined]

You have no idea what I've seen before, machine.

[Petty, yeah.]

Please, do tell me how your attempt to leave this planet goes. I'm confident you'll be able to leave a full report, since you'll be back.

Two Autobots. One Decepticon, who is injured, unarmed, incapable of transformation.

I thought the War was over.

dont even TRY and pull that
you know what youve done
you KNOW what you represent to everyone who isnt in your little psycho club

Video - I guess we should say Threadjacking is OK???

[wearmyface]

[And Vos just switches to video.

Look, see? Unarmed (and currently) deathly pale human with a very bloodsoaked bedsheet around an arm.]

That bad, huh?

[You know, Cybertronians, if anyone gives Duo the impression that maybe mobile suits aren't so bad, it's y'all.]

Too bad the space travel part is kinda hindered by the government red tape. What's the scoop, pal?

Re: [Voice]

[knaval]

The DJD are war criminals who enacted Megatron's will, but they kept going after it all ended. They're worse than Megatron himself. They're all sick sociopaths who would mutilate and kill anyone they could find just for fun.

Believe me. I've seen the aftermath of one of their romps. Most of the crew had been murdered as they tried to get away.

[Flat, short] Great.

[Well fuck it. He already knows it's useless to try to encrypt a message from a Cybertronian, and he can't hack their protocols.]

Hey, before you ditch the planet for less populated pastures, wanna drop by and say "nice knowin' ya"? And I'll maybe show you something.

[itcanwait]

Vos...? Why would...why would they bring anyone from the DJD? Don't they know what they did?

[knaval]

I don't know, Tailgate.

[by this point, the stress has caused little light strand bubbles to form in riptide's eyes.]

But we shouldn't stick around to find out.

[itcanwait]

I want to go home.

[dirtyredneck]

Who's the DJD and what did they do?

[knaval]

They're a group of Decepticons who can't accept the war has ended. There's Tarn, Vos, Kaon, Helex and Tesarus and they're all sociopaths who love murdering and mutilating people for fun.

[his lip quirks.]

I've seen posts that say we should give people a second chance here, but not for them. They've killed hundreds of thousands of innocent mechs.

You left out the part where I am injured, and you denied me a medic on finding out my name.

Uh . . . what?

They're bad news! Like, raze a planet for fun bad!

[that's not actually true, but their reputation precedes them.]

Riptide-- what?

We're in luck, Manabu! He's hurt! All we gotta do is wait for the bastard to bleed out! Ha!

[just slap some sense into him or something.]

Woah, woah, woah. Slow down, buddy. Why don't you start from the top?

[ That voice sounds familiar, but the sight is ... uuuhh. Well. He's been trying to take a very This isn't the weirdest thing I've seen attitude about everything here, but, welp. ]

Take it easy, mate.

Re: video.

[knaval]

How?! How can I take it easy when one of the worst psychopaths in the galaxy has just shown up!!

[AND RIPTIDE ANNOYED HIM!!]

[musclemothers]

So how do you plan on leaving Earth, exactly? Unless you personally have the capacity to travel into space, we're Earthbound, so if we're doomed, you're doomed too.

[ He doesn't look worried. Doesn't sound worried either. ]

Re: video

[knaval]

W--We'll find a way! Even if it means waiting and leaving in human crafts!
