My goodness. I haven't been gone for all that long and suddenly there's even  more of you buggers.

[a+ intro as always. at least she hasn't threatened to kill anyone this time?]

Lady Aurelia Hammerlock, darlings. Arbitration officer. Feel free to come to me with any of your problems and I shall hand out free advice. Or a gun - I play it case by case.

[...welp.]

Oh, and J. Darling. It's only a little bit personal but I have to sucker punch you in the throat. I'm sure you understand.

Bitch is baaaack! [she says in an obnoxious sing song voice.] Come, come, do introduce yourselves to me. Or give me an update of the last month or so. Oh, goodness! I do hope something interesting has happened.

How marvelous to see you still on the crew list, darling!

[genuine delight to see tarn. must be a first.]

We must have a catch up, how about the simulation deck at lunch? Is it still around? There's nothing like a date while sniping.

Not fit for company is perhaps better phrasing.[It's a strange thing for Tarn to say. He'd never turn down the opportunity to slaughter organics, even if they are only part of the simulation deck. It would be a good outlet.]

However, I would be more than happy to catch you up even if it's not in person.

[diamondslap]

I see.

[the skepticism is clear in her tone.]

I'll take it, either way. How do you find yourself, darling? What's been going on?

[sparkwhisperer]

[Tarn doesn't miss her skepticism but chooses to ignore it.]

Well we beat the Caducans as you may imagine. I'm not certain how they thought that they has any chance against us, but here we are. Not much changed after that but the Ingress has been particularly... defective since then.

A fair portion of the crew, myself included, ended up randomly transported to a slaving outpost in this sector of space. I spent two weeks locked in a cell with a few Autobots for the amusement of this bizzare organic before we were broken free. And then, after returning back, the Ingress decided to spit out what seems like 50 new crewmembers at the exact same time as new Captains take leadership or the Moira.

[the longer this goes on the more irritated Tarn begins to sound and the more his vocalizer clicks. he has to stop to clear his throat. ]

As it turns out these new captains are extremely conservative with the resources aboard the vessel and it seems to have put the crew rather at odds with them. Personally I couldn't care less about there being bright lights in the hallways. the dimness of it all makes me feel rather at home.

[He's done. Thats all she needs to to know.]

Its been a strange few weeks.

[diamondslap]

Good bloody god. I'm rather glad I wasn't around for that.

[she sighs heavily.]

Well, darling, I'll book the simulation deck for an entire day and leave around noon if you want to use it for the second part. It's lovely for stress relief.

[and also giant robot not being pissed is good for her survival rates??]

[sparkwhisperer]

[Tarn is relieved when she doesn't press further into his business. What an ideal friendship.]

Thank you, Aurelia. I may take you up on that.

[He'll just need to figure out how to get from his quarters to the simulation deck without being seen. He could seriously go for a bit of stress relief]

Perhaps another time we can attend together. I must say that I was impressed by your skill in battle during the Caducan attack. Even if you did have a few lapses in judgement.

[try transforming jackass]

Ah, it's being stuck on this bloody ship for so long. Do you know how long it's been since I last slaughtered a bandit camp? Almost a year! It's appalling!

[sparkwhisperer]

[shut up]

Truly a travesty. I expect you to bring your best when we finally fight together.

[diamondslap]

But of course, darling. You don't exactly give the impression of someone that anything less than 100% would be acceptable for.

[best friend murder party!!!]

[sparkwhisperer]

Tthen you know me better than most.

Impressive for an organic, I must say.
