Blackjack enters his quarters and closes the door. He surveys the room and notes that everything is the same as when he last left this place. The large roulette wheel in the center of the room, the gambling tables, the lounge seating. Although a little dusty, his small casino-like suite is in perfect condition. But he knows there is no time for that now. He sighs, walks past the tables, and enters a side door to his small, private bedroom. He lies down on the bed and begins to discuss things with his headmaster partner.

This is the last time I'm gonna bring this up. Now are you sure you want to keep going on like this?

There's nothing else left for me Blackjack. Even if you get killed, it doesn't matter to me if I die as well. I'll gladly fight alongside an Autobot any day.

Well, alright. I'll get rid of it then. I just want you to undastand one thing. This isn't about the Autobots or the war or this recent betrayal or anything. I just want to find the dirty 'con who killed Roulette. This is about revenge.

That's a dangerous game, even for you. But like I said, I'm with ya no matter what. Just one question. Have you talked to Cambreaker about it yet?

No. Why does anyone need to know? It's my problem.

I think this is something that you need to trust him with. Take it from a friend.

Blackjack considers this as he lays back. He is still uncertain. The Autobots have trusted him. Now is it the time to trust them?

Cambreaker, finally resigned to full repairs for the first time since the attack on Kaon, looks up to Minerva.

Don't spend too much time detailing, I just need to be operational. There's been something I wanted to talk to you about, and Blackjack and Redline. Not that I don't enjoy time with you, but I'm tired of winding up on the table every 5 cycles. I've an idea that could make me a bit more sturdy in combat...

Cambreaker quickly overviews his plan to Minerva, who thinks some time before letting on her reaction to his idea. Meanwhile, Cambreaker calls up their close friend and former squad member Redline on the in-ship comm.

Redline, if you'll come up to my quarters when you can, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I'd pay you courtesy of a visit, but you know how "doctor's orders" goes...

Redline puts the finishing touches on the placement of the Royal Flush in the repair bay as Cliffjumper directs from the floor. Hopping out of the cockpit, she brushes the debris from the damaged vessel from herself and steps toward the bay doors. I suppose that about does it. Thanks for directing. She smiles at Cliffjumper as she steps through the wide doors.

She is startled by the sudden utterance of her name from the speaker above her head. Listening to the message, she nods to herself.

Smiling at the doctor comment afterthought, Redline pressed the button on the comm next to the door. "I'm on my way, Cambreaker." I wonder what he wants to discuss? Redline pondered to herself as she made her way through the ship up toward her colleague's quarters.

Hey Snarl, im right over here. Snarl looks over to the left to see dinobot half buried in machine parts. Im looking to make a few custom weapons from this old junk. With my knowledge of the future, I should be able to take some of this ancient stuff to make great weapons for us. Check out that pile over there. Cliffjumper and Snarl look over and see a table in the middle of a junk pile and see three very hi-tech looking weapons.

That right there bots are some heavy duty blasters. Instead of just using straight energon bolts as ammo, I have retro-fitted them to use pieces of metal and other hard materials to use in succession with energon. That way, they last alot longer. Dinobot motions for them to look over in the corner at his current project. The two of them look over to see a massive weapon, only half finished sitting on the debris pile.

That one there bots is a heavily modified version of the AA guns that were on our escape shuttle. It will be impossible to carry them. Rattrap is currently working on something that these will be useful for. I heard your call on the comm Snarl, but have been busy. As for your headache, use this. Dinobot hands snarl a little hand held device with a few wires on it. A friend from the future called Rhinox, designed some pretty wicked stuff. This should help take the edge off that headache. These weapons are also a little bit of his designs too.

Rattrap looks around his quarters bleary eyed and tries to remember what he was doing before he shutdown. He spots a datapad sitting on the table displaying schematics for a heavily armed stealth ship. He corrects a few mistakes that were probably caused by the energon overcharge and slips the datapad into his left sleeve pocket. He walks over to the computer terminal in his quarters and finds Dinobot's location.

Rattrap enters the repairbay to find Dinobot and Snarl next to a pile of weapons. He sees Dinobot's modifications to the AA turrets, takes out the datapad, and presses a few buttons. The AA turrets on the ship model instantly change to incorporate Dinobot's changes. Rattrap tosses the schematics to Dinobot.

Post by Doublecross »

Doublecross had been wandering around in the cargo bay. He puts a stack of plasma cartridges into a large metallic crate. Her thens puts a crude label on it. he notices snarl playing with the weapons.

'No firing in the ship'

'Yes, you don't want to blow a nice big hole in the hull and get sucked out'

'If you do that, dinobot snarl get lost in space'

'Don't touch what you don't understand.'

Without further words being spoken Doublecross goes off in search of more ammunition.

'Did he leave the guns unloaded?'

'If he didn't be ready to garb the deck.'[/i]

Snarl! Dinobot yelled, That device was to be put on your headplate to ease the energon discharges. Oh well. The guns that I have designed are not online yet. So none of them will fire. After that comment, a sigh of relief washes over Rattrap's face. Let me know when you're ready to incorporate your designs into a real ship Rat. I am having lots of fun in here. Snarl, if you can keep from smashing these new weapons of mine, I will make one specially for you.

Sideways makes his way to his makeshift laboratory inside the ship. He pulls out a box that was sitting in the corner of the empty room and presses a button. He stands back as the room is transformed into a duplicate of his workshop back on Iacon. He steps into a machine and closes the door.

Meanwhile, Redline arrives in Cam's quarters, just as Minerva is using a pipe-wrench-like device to pry Cam's chestplates back into place. He looks over, his pain sensors obviously disconnected again (Redline is used to seeing this), and smiles a bit.

Red! Come in, sit down. I have a proposition to talk to you about . Even if you choose not to partake, I'd like your help in the matter. It'd be a bit of work, but I think it'd save us trouble in the long run.


Cambreaker explains his idea to Redline, who sits back in her chair to think of how feasible it might be.

What do you think? I wanted to talk to Blackjack about it next. He's helped us so many times before he left... And he's back and already helping us a lot again.


Cam pages Blackjack's room.

The comm. from Cambreaker interrupts the conversation at that point. The voice inside Blackjack's head is silent and he decides that it's most likely time to pay Cambreaker a visit. Just one thing to do first. He walks over to a small compartment at the other end of his bedroom and presses a few buttons on a wall panel. The compartment opens and an almost duplicate of Blackjack's head sits inside. He removes it and leaves the room, deciding that he needs to tell Cambreaker everything.

I'm hoping that wherever Cambreaker is taking us will have most of the supplies we need. We certainly have enough 'bots sitting around to do this project.

Rattrap picks a timer and a few other pieces out of the pile and starts putting them together. After a few hundred astroseconds he sets a completed demo charge on floor and starts a new one.

Snarl, you still going to drink that much energon next time we hit up the bar?

With his previous knowledge of Cambreaker's ship, Blackjack navigates the corridors to his friend's room. He is still carrying the head when he reaches the door, but decides to set it in the hallway outside for the time being. He takes a deep breath and enters the room. Redline, Minerva, and Cambreaker all look at him as he enters.

Well isn't this quite the party. Didn't know you'd be here Red. Hey, Cammy there was something you wanted to talk to me about? I guess I got something too, but why don't you go first.

He gives a smirk and heads off

Yes, Blackjack, have a seat.

Cambreaker starts to mention his plan again to Blackjack, with Redline throwing in occasional technical details and assuring the potential success of the plan. Blackjack seems disturbed and distracted by something, causing Cambreaker to stop...

Are you okay talking about whatever it is with Redline and Minerva, or do you and i need some privacy?
