There can never be enough redshirts

[likely2bteamkilled]

Oh you did not, come on human I have work to do. You're not the one that's going to have to find a way to keep Navigational Officer Soundwave from likely reporting me for neglecting my duties. Lord Megatron is still not happy with anyone right now, and that means bad news for all of us; especially those of us he has direct line of sight with.

It's already hard enough monitoring the energy output of the cloaking mechanism on a good day.

You should get a sensible job in engine maintenance.

Least there you don't have to deal with those dirty scavengers.

[Why are there insecticons everywhere, they never do anything to help with anything.]

[likely2bteamkilled]

Everyone tries for engine maintenance, and I got suckered into bridge technician through lies.

Hey, shhh don't say that too loud, knowing luck they're going to show up now.

[He has no idea, and they are creepy man, you never know if they're like in the air vents watching you or something.]

[fandominjoke]

Yeah? Well sucks to be you.

[No sympathy from this nameless lacky.]

I haven't seen any around here... you think they'll show up?

[likely2bteamkilled]

Better then field duty.

[Harsh there fellow mook, but there is truth in that.]

Considering how they are? Probably. Just waiting to swarm and make a mess of everything.

[eradiconsteve]

It's really not so bad once you get used to it. Having a mun, that is. Actually its kind of nice!

I find I don't feel so terribly alone anymore...

[likely2bteamkilled]

[Dude, no. Don't be that nice that makes it hard to not like you and thus not worry if you ended up dead this week or not.]

I suppose, still a bit bothersome when you're supposed to be on duty.

[eradiconsteve]

[Sorry, but Steve is sort of permanently optimistic. And he wishes you were too!]

Oh, I think you can handle it. You're probably a very diligent worker- ah... what was your designation?

[likely2bteamkilled]

[He's a realist. It's much a much safer option when you have front row seats to every officer smackdown.]

There's only so much hard work can accomplish when you're trying to keep up with the demands. It's Deuce. Think whoever had me built was trying to tell me something.

[eradiconsteve]

How demanding is your mun? Did they take you to a g- [He shivers a little] g.....game?

Oh! I know! They were trying to tell you that you're able to do double the work of any bot? Am I right?

[likely2bteamkilled]

Don't joke about something like that. Though, if she could get away with it...I think she would. [He's seen what she does to her big name characters]

[This is painful, no one should be that optimistic and naive.]

Right, we'll just go with that explanation.

Well, don't these two just have the most complementary usernames

[wiredfriendlyfire]

Hey, cheer up, nameless! [Sorry, Deuce. Misfire isn't the most tactful mech around.]

If you're lucky, your Mun might not be a sparkless sadist like the vast majority of Muns in this place, and you'll never run into O'l Megsy or Soundwave or any of the other big-namers who have the authority to snuff out your spark just for cycling in air too loudly.

[a pause]

---Buuut that's probably not the case, honestly, so say your prayers and settle your affairs, loser, because you're probably gonna be put through some horrific experiences pretty soon.

[He says all this with a smile, because he's morbid, high as a kite, overly-cheerful.]

Clearly it is destiny.

[likely2bteamkilled]

[Well aren't you such a ray of sunshine blinding everyone to the death and doom behind the lens flare.]

Just what I always wanted. Impending death and horrific experiences in my future. Thanks for bringing such wonderful revelations to me.

It truly is.

[wiredfriendlyfire]

You're welcome, no-name! [He's either ignoring the sarcasm, or he's completely oblivious to it. It's unclear which.]

It's good to find these things out before they actually happen, so at the very least you'll have time to prepare yourself for what will most likely be the most unpleasant experience of your life. Which, by the way, will probably be very, very short, since you genericons are usually the first to go when all Hell breaks loose.

[likely2bteamkilled]

Yes, when it happens I'll make certain to go and remember how you warned me of such and be ever so happy that I knew it was going to happen right before it does. Like knowing when Lord Megatron is going to execute one of us when angered.

[You remind him too much of some of his fellow redshirts that snapped under the pressure.]

[wiredfriendlyfire]

Well, on the bright side, a quick, clean shot from that cannon of his is a lot less painful than a visit from the D.J.D, so at least you have that to look forward to.


[Considering he siphons and consumes the Energon of his fallen comrades for a living, it's probably safe to assume that he does have some sort of deep-psychological issues.]

[likely2bteamkilled]

A quick, clean deactivation would be far preferable to a drawn out one.

[He has no idea what a D.J.D. is.]

Though not dying would be fantastic.

[wiredfriendlyfire]

[That's okay, because Misfire isn't all too keen on describing those psychopaths.]

Yeeeah...about that. Sometimes dying is the preferable option.

...Just take my word for it.
