"And you did all of that for money and this guy's chick? How hired you and who's that girl?" then Rapido turned to Dino and whispered "Let's play good cop, bad cop on these here." [[ @BRX ]]
Dino looked at him and nodded. "Just give one second, Rapido." He said while turning to look at the bandit riling the others up.
"Uhhh..." said the bandit confused. "We just take their money, mister. Then we go to one of the black market stations and sell our stuff." One of the bandits at the back began squirming. --- "What Mags said" stated Rodimus. "Do you know who Tap-Out is?" Tap-Out looked at Hot Shot. "Have we been introduced?" ((@Stonecrusher ))
"Uhhhhhhh.... the green one, right?" He looked at Tap Out. "Sorry. I haven't seen that body type at all until now, even during the war...." He turned to Rodimus. "Which reminds me, how long has it been since the war? This place doesn't exactly have an accurate way of telling time."
"Tap-Out" the green bot replied to Hot Shot, holding his hand out for a shake. "Pleasure." Rodimus thought for a minute. "About 1,950,000 ye-... tell a lie, 1,960,000 years, give or take. I'll let magnus give you the amount specifically in months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, nanoseconds etc. As if any of us could stop him from telling you" Rodimus said, chuckling. "But you've never seen about? Not even once." Tap-Out gave a sigh.
Huntress watched the bandits, shifting her weight in irritation at being so still, her mind turning back to her time in the Gladiator Pits.
"You're easily scared..." Rapido paused for a moment "But why? Dino what do you think, they look scared of something or someone?"
Dino looked over at Rapido with his arms crossed. "You mean, anyone besides Huntress?" He asked his colleague
"Do you wanna get shot by that giant Dino guy?" asked the bandits. The bandit at the back carried on squirming.
"What's up with that, hombre? Try sharing a space on a ship with a psychopath with anger issues and then we'll talk." Rapido crossed his arms, imitating Dino.
Hot Shot smiled, if only to make Tap-Out feel more welcome. --- Phama finished reconnecting the wires in the Sparkling's arm. "Alright, that should do it."
Magnus was already making the calculations "11 months, 22 days, 12 hours, 10 minutes, and.. 44 seconds...50 seconds.." Magnus states
"Not my fault I've lost my intimidation factor Dino." She rumbled as she joined him and Rapido. "I got all fluffy and cuddly over the years."
"We were" said the majority of bandits, minus the squirming bandit. The bandit at the back leapt out from the ropes and made a runner for the door. --- "Thanks" said Tap-Out weakly. "Magnus, I was joking" Rodimus said. "Magnus? Hello? Joking?"
"Uhhhh.... thanks?" He shook his head . "And yes, no I have not. Sorry if my answer wasn't of any purpose." He turned. "Speaking of which..." He turned quickly and seeing the bandit charge to escape, grabbed a fallen knife from beneath him and tossed it at the bandit.
The bandit ducked under the knife. before being tripped over by Rapido and crashing to the ground. He then grabbed something he had hidden in his arm, wedged between a wheel and the arm itself. Rodimus once more drew his sword, should Rapido need help.
As soon as the sparkling's wires were reconnected the pain came with it. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" "Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" Blaster came up quickly and slapped on some nanites on the protoform. "I know it stings when the sensors first come back on. But you gotta be tough! I know you can!" The sparkling sniffed and nodded. Blaster nudged his back. "Can you thank the nice medic?" "Umm. Oh. Erm, thank you mister." Rim mumbled to Pharma. "That a mech." He rubs the kid's helm fins. And then notices movement by Huntress.... With Huntress looking over at the escaping prisoner, the others near her all body slammed her. One dug into subspace and pulled the cuff keys. "Got it!" He freed himself and went to unlock his buddies who were trying to stomp Huntress.
