binary_runaway | NOVA STORM'S BEST AND GREATEST INBOX

[while they haven't yet really Talked About It, neither of them are able to ignore the terribly strange spark feelings they're getting from the other, and skywarp is definitely hanging around her sister a lot more than she usually does. this in itself is no insignificant feat, and now that the fear of losing nova again as slightly subsided, skywarp seems to have a constant low level ebb of guilt that she only does when nova gets hurt. even so, it disappears eventually! this time it isn't!

she teleports back into their room with cubes and haphazardly throws an unopen one nova's way. maybe today they'll talk about it, maybe they won't.]

Laugh your victory in cards up, Nova. I shall not fall for your vile trickery again! [she jumps up onto the berth where nova is and shakes her wings, putting on a terrible impression of optimus prime.] Delinquent wenchery!

Nova Storm right? I have a very important mission and I believe you're the only one who can help me.

Nova, if you ever listened to me about anything you need to listen to me about this. Don't go near Antlers. I know that's-- kind of the theme of tonight, but...

Just don't. Don't get involved.

I'm coming back to the room. I won't be long.

[ While you were away someone has been in your room.

It doesn't look like this someone has really rifled that much through your possessions. Or stolen anything.

How do you know someone was here? There is a tiny plastic human toy baby in a random drawer. It's wearing a tiny pair of sunglasses and a tee that just says 'RAD' ]

pls signoff if stil lonline i would feel bad if n beter not be i already feel terrrible without addn emotiononl turmoil thank u

[ Recently Bass requested some important information. Who... is the strongest Cybertronian on this ship. He received a hot tip that it was 'Shockwave' but also 'not the Senator one'. There were a few thoughts that went through his processor. One... it was really dumb that there were two people here with the SAME NAME. It must get confusing! Two, while he does (surprisingly) know what a Senator is, he has no idea what a Senator looks like. Do they wear signs? Bass guesses probably not.

This leads him to one conclusion: He has to fight BOTH of them to make sure he's actually fighting the strong one.

This leads him to a second conclusion: He has no idea where Shockwave lives. He could ask for direction, ask if anyone knows... but that begs the question... If they know how strong Bass is will they even tell the truth?

There is now one solution: He has to canvas the ship himself and check every inhabited room he comes across.

So there's the backstory. And that's why Bass, armored up in his winged Treble armor (being able to fly covers ground quicker!) is pounding aggressively at your door.

Sorry. ]

Loud annoying yellow one, has anything strange happened to you?

[clear. concise. helpful.]

Nova Storm. [oh look who's dragged himself back to life. hooray. optimus, naturally, has no idea of what's been going on with her.] I wanted to thank you for your help with the recent mission. I know it was very difficult, but...

...well, it's admirable in how staunchly you defend Rock.

Hello, Nova. It has been some time. Can you hear me, I know you must. I probably never leave your thoughts.

Aehah. Don't think of alerting anyone of me, pretty bird. It'll be just you and me tonight all in your head.

Me? [she's been using that nickname a lot more recently. wonder why.] Where'd you go? I've been calling you. I know you're still here.

[ The only halfway decent seeker on this ship has lost the thing that's fun about being a seeker! Tragic. Skywarp can't fix that but he can blast a rubber duck with the Nonsense Gun until it becomes something potentially useful.

It's not flight but if she smacks the Anti Grave Duck on the head it'll reduce gravity around it to nothing for a couple minutes. Can't fly but you can float a bit. ]

[This is almost certainly going to end badly, but Monk isn't blind, he's seen what Nova Storm's situation is, and as much as he is on the fence about offering an olive branch (or an olive tree, in this case), he has been told time and again how important flight is to seekers. At least, other seekers.]

Hello Nova Storm,

I am certain I am the last person you want to talk to about this and I may be breaking some sort of taboo, but if you need a pair of wings, you could have mine. I don't fly; I think you would get better use out of them. We're around the same size, so they should work for you.

I don't know what would be involved, but since the medics fixed them before I think they would be able to take them off and put them on your frame?

[He has literally no idea if that is an option but it seems logical. Monk's understanding of Cybertronian anatomy is still very rudimentary.]

Monk had made a herculean effort to avoid Nova Storm in person as much as possible, given the animosity brewing between them (despite his efforts to remain ambivalent about it), but conversation wasn't one to be done over comms.

He'd never been to Nova Storm's habsuite before, and now that he found himself standing outside the door he was already feeling tense about how this was going to go; but it had to be done. He knocked twice, taking a deep breath and he waited.

"Nova Storm, there is something I'd like to talk about."
