If You Thought Robots Were Good At Things Then Wow Do I Have News for You [Backdated to Feb 12th]

[Some people might look at something they’re doing and realize that holy shit, this is a terrible idea and they shouldn’t be doing it. Other people are people like Riptide and Tailgate who decided to just go ahead and do it anyway. After all, what’s the worst that could happen?

The answer to that is a massive explosion that could be heard and felt throughout the Nomo deck. About five minutes later a very scorched face appears on the network. Tailgate’s visor is cracked in several places and his usually white and blue paint has now been comically blackened. He attempts to sound cheery and nonchalant for the listeners, but is faintly defeated by his staticky vocalizer.]

Heeey! So, you might have heard a little something a moment ago, and I just want everyone to know that everything is under control! There’s no need for anyone to panic!

[He says, unaware that the viewers can clearly see the total lack of a wall behind him. Alas, Riptide and Tailgate no longer have a door. Or the wall that used to belong to that door.]

He's right! It's all fine. Just a minor hiccup. Carry on!

[there's riptide waving in the background.]

Uh. [his optics visibly widen when he stops waving at the camera to actually look around.] That was-- that was already like that. When we got here. Invasion of privacy, really. Wow, is there smoke?

[he waves his hand in front of his face.]

You know what? Imagined it. Nothing there.

And if something HAD been there, as in, if we HAD been building something, then I can promise we wouldn’t have set it off on purpose. We’re not that careless. Yet somehow I don't have a bed anymore.

So, uh, everyone enjoy their day!

I'm pretty sure that one wasn't a load bearing one. And that... no one got spaced.

[he looks worried for a moment, but buries it quickly.]

Almost positive.

[needsnoface]

Either way, I'm certain if you were that eager to remodel there would have been others who would have helped. Because that seems like the best excuse for what you did if you're trying to cover up the fact you're performing illicit experiments in your living quarters and all.

[knaval]

They weren't illicit! I'll give you experiments, but they certainly weren't illicit.

[needsnoface]

Non-approved experimentation then.

[knaval]

It was honestly barely even experimentation.

[needsnoface]

I'm attempting to aide you in explaining your destruction, however if you just want to admit it was a complete mishap then I'll gracefully bow out and allow you to explain that to those who will ask questions then.

[knaval]

That one, I'm going with that one.
