Heh.. A fun RP Log.. Some of you know what it is.. some of you don't ;) And some of you should ;) to keep up with what's been going on with yer lovable FX ;) TP: Autobot Marshals: The Junkative When: Ohh here and there. Why: Something to do. How: Cause Caern and I have sick and demented minds. So: What? Um: The TP was very loosly based upon the Movie The Fugitive. It was done for some fun. Note as the story goes on.....things start to change and more mysterious stuff begins to happen. And now.......ON with the show. Main Lobby - First Floor(#357 RLntN) This is a spacious, circular room. An Autobot symbol is displayed high on the far wall. In the center of the room is a large computer terminal, one of several places which Teletran-2 is readily accessible. Contents: Autobot Standard Troops #1933(#1933 OrM) You move upward... Main Lobby - Second Floor(#372 RntN) This wide open lobby is centered around a large gravlift that leads down. A smaller set of stairs off to the side lead up to the Communications Tower. A silver door to the south bears the name 'Autobot City Commander' and a golden door to the west has on it 'Autobot Leader'. A pair of sliding doors lead eastwards, and a secure door leads northward. You move upward to the Communications Tower... Communications Tower(#390 RntN) This large domed room is dominated by the FTL communications equipment that nearly fills it. The tower has been fully repaired by Jazz, and the changes are evident. Boy, are they ever. The back wall is almost entirely speakers; don't ask where Jazz found the room to fit them all in. The FTL comm equipment has been shuffled around, improved to take up less space so Jazz has room for a stereo receiver, CD player, amp, and 13 power sources for the speakers. Stickers and posters cover many of the windows, ranging from 'Mel Torme - Revival Tour 2003' to 'AC/DC', and a poster of Mindbomb with his trusted guitar. Contents: Caern(#6095 PiOWerAc) Extended Radio Equipment 169(#5307 O) Solar Energy Collectors(#4716 O) FX pokes his nose in around the corner trying to see if anyone is alive in this place and spots Caern and smiles. "Hellll-hole there. Sir Caern! How might thee be today?" Caern turns, "Hello FX." Caern says, "What brings you to Earth?" FX smiles, "I'm a taxi cab there today. Brought Inferno & Splash doen from the aftermath of the olympics. Now I'm just gunna kick it around here for a few. Check on things at the 'ol Junkrassic Park....Wine, dine, and treat the ladies fine. Gunna go downtown. Awee yeah." FX continues to smile as he leans back on the wall, "How have you made the adjustment of Mostly Dead to Helloooooo Dolly?" Caern says, "I am feeling quite recovered thank you." Caern turns to eye FX more closely, "I don't believe I fully " He pauses, "Thanked you for your part in reactivating me. I am grateful." FX nods "Ahh Good Good..." FX looks at Caern, "....hey.. Wire helped too. We were on a misson Seven days and seven nights and we faught the law and we kicked maximus buttacus cause we were all out of bubble gum...." FX smiles and laughs, '...even tho it's all done before, who will get mad at me when I walk around Autobot City while not seen by the naked eye?' Caern pauses, "It is not normally acceptable to move about a Autobot installation while invisible. though, I must admit my ability to detect such intrusions is limited since my reconstruction." FX looks at his hands and then holds them out, "They look like, good....strong hands....don't they?" FX looks up at Caern, "If I give it anymore captain, She'll blow. Jus kinnot do it." FX crosses his arms, 'In other words, It's on back order for now. We ran out of parts.' You say, "Tell you what. Just dial the seven digits and call me when the time is right and when it's right for you it's right for me and when it's right for me.. I'll be quick as a bunny, young grasshopper and have it all set for you so I can just pop it on in with that Easy plug and play tech." Caern looks a little puzzled, "I'm afraid you may have lost me." FX whispers and waves for him to come closer, "Secret, secret..I've got a secret." FX smiles, "When the part comes from mail order heaven I'll pop it on in for you, Hmmm Kay?" Caern cocks his head, "Ah, I see. Yes, I am uncertain however if Ultra Magnus or Rodimus would allow the modification to occur so soon after my....return.' Thank you for offering. FX nods and bows, "Ha.. ja I see now." FX smiles and leans back and gives a thumbs up, 'Aye. Just gimmie a true voice if that time comes. Weather it be day or night, snow, sleet, or hail. get it.. Weather?! Hah I Kill me!' Caern nods again, "I will....Thank you. I think." You say, "So What's all this? You moved back down to Earth-Prime I see. Any Akkkchun?" Caern shakes his head, "No...not really. I've been compiling some of the old sensor logs and pieceing through some of the reports the Monacus police have posted regarding possible Autobot involvement in various incidents at the Monacus Olympics." FX erks, "Seen anything about us in there?" FX whistles. Caern says, "Of Junkion involvement?" He turns and begins typing in a series of commands. The screen before him flashes and then data begins streaming down, "Junkions won a few of the events. Several outstanding warrants regarding suspected homicide, larceny, destruction of public property."" Caern looks a little stunned, "YOu did all of this in two weeks?" You say, "Well....It's been building up... by and by you should see further in the past. Most of it..well.. is our fault. ...er...yah. Bt.. if it dosn't fir you must aquit! We saves the Police Chief though. So some charges have been dropped." Caern says, "Some?" You say, "The Kidnapping charge and suspected homicide. It was his brother not us that did it. We're not as wanted up there now. But. We're still looked at like were some food in the desert with vultures over out head." Caern glances down at the datapad, "Who's brother?" He types up a few more commands, "You are still wanted for crimes on Monacus." FX looks at Caern, "Yer..not.. gunna. are you? If so I must be going now. Ta ta Take care then." Caern raises a hand, "Hold it for a minute. You realize I will have to investigate this further. If you were involved in a crime I would be remiss if I didn't attempt to determine what was occurring and hold you for the time being." FX slaps his head, "but.. but... This cannot be! It wasn't me.. most of it anyways.. oke it was me.. not the one armed man!" Caern says, "Who?" You say, "Yah see I did it.. Yah.. It was me.. And I like it too.. Yah see. Na Na.. Can't catch me yah copper!" FX laughs and looks at Caern and ralizes that he's not joking. Caern looks gravely at the junkion, "You are confessing to these charges?" Caern stands, "FX, I'm afraid you'll have to come with me." You say, "Uhh..." You say, "Yah ain't gonna take me down... I..." FX thinks quickly and smiles, 'I..I...I'm outta here.' FX casts out his hands and disappears in a "BAMF!" followed by a smoke cloud. You activate your invisibility field. Caern lunges forward attemting to grab at FX but isn't nearly fast enough, "BLAST!" You say, "Can't catch what yah can't see! Cause I float like a butter fly and sting like a bee!" Caern turns and smacks a hand down on the alert switch. A klaxon soudns, "Intruder detected. ALl security personnel report to their station. This is a level three alert." Out of nowhere, something chuckles and run sdown the stairs...*clumpclumpclump* You move downward to the Main Lobby - Second Floor... Main Lobby - Second Floor(#372 RntN) This wide open lobby is centered around a large gravlift that leads down. A smaller set of stairs off to the side lead up to the Communications Tower. A silver door to the south bears the name 'Autobot City Commander' and a golden door to the west has on it 'Autobot Leader'. A pair of sliding doors lead eastwards, and a secure door leads northward.

A silver door to the south bears the name 'Autobot City Commander' and a golden door to the west has on it 'Autobot Leader'. A pair of sliding doors lead eastwards, and a secure door leads northward. Caern enters from the Communications Tower above. Caern has arrived. Caern dashes down the steps. he pauses only briefly before continuing to race down to the first floor. Caern heads downward to the Main Lobby - First Floor below. Caern has left. You move downward to the Main Lobby - First Floor... Main Lobby - First Floor(#357 RLntN) This is a spacious, circular room. An Autobot symbol is displayed high on the far wall. In the center of the room is a large computer terminal, one of several places which Teletran-2 is readily accessible. Contents: Caern(#6095 PiOWerAc) Broadside(#478 PiVaertACMcmJF) Autobot Standard Troops #1933(#1933 OrM) Caern sprints into the area and heads towards the command center. Caern yells over his shoulder at Broadside, "Watch that door! No one goes in or out." Broadside blinks, "What, someone leave the microwave on too long?" Caern says, "We have an intruder!" Caern says, "Or rather a fugitive" Out of nowhere, something moves about quietly as he can trying to make a break for it and then he stumbles over a potted plant that was just watered so he leaves muddy foot prints on the carpet he dosn't realize yet. Caern pauses, "Wait. What was that?" Caern glances around the room hurriedly. Broadside looks around. "You tracking mud there, speedy?" Out of nowhere, something looks down and eaks and stops not moving and hopes that he'll not be found out just yet. Caern spies the plant still shaking slightly. He moves over and glances down at the pool of muddy water spilled nearby and then to the carpet with its telltale tracks. "He's in here. Or was at any rate." Caern transmits a message via radio. You transmit a message to Broadside: Seal the room. Broadside receives a radio transmission from Caern. Broadside steps back casually, heading for the main doors leading out. Caern stands up and attempts to look casual. He says a very uncharacterist, "Gosh. Maintenance was sure messy today." Broadside smirks, and continues backing, "get Caterwaul to clean up the mess." Caern reaches down and picks up a handful of dirty mud, "Look at this mess." Caern edges slightly to the side in the general direction of the muddy footprints. Out of nowhere, something begins to move slowly twards the doors and sees Broadside in front of them he shudders a moment not wanting to be caught. He looks for another exit and spots a ventalation shaft now if he could only do it with out being noticed. Out of nowhere, something sees the counter running down for his inviz and shudders again.....either way he's done for unless he can get out when he comes to realize that he left behind some muddy footprints that lead right to him. He shakes his head, and thinks . o (Why me... Why me... Ohh.. Meatloaf... Mmm...) Your invisibility field deactivates. Caern nods to Broadside, "well its already messy in here so.." He casually turns and throws the dirt in the general direction of where the footsteps stop." FX looks at his hands as he reappears not by his will his timer just stops, "Ohh...FuDGE.....with nuts.. I hate nuts!" Caern points, "THERE!" Broadside's still sore at Caern for chewing him out over something that a rank 7 already handeled. When he sees that Caern is trying to catch FX, well, his pace slows down just a little, like he wouldn't reach the door in time if FX ran for it. FX erks and looks at Caern and Broadside, "Yah.. ain't gunna take me alive, yah hear!" Caern says, "Grab him!" Broadside grunts, "Uh, sure," the fifty footer grunts, and misses, grunting. "Damn servo in my back is acting up again..." Caern sprints towards FX. Caern leaps through the air in an attempt to tackle the fugitive junkion FX yells out, "Sheathe these feet in the driving gale, Make swift these legs, o'er land I sail!" Broadside casually misses, and ends up between FX and Caern, after all, he's just following orders. FX begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Caern, Broadside. Caern swears, "Out of the way Broadside." he pivots at the last minute and leaps forward hand outstretched to grasp the wayward mech. You evade Caern's grasp attack. And misses..... Caern lands with a thud. Broadside stiffles a laugh as Caern eats floor, and tries to look serious. "You get back here!" he calls out, as if that would work. FX looks Broadside and Caern and then makes a dash for the exit. "Fast as fast can be never catch me!" FX jumps and would stick out a metallic tounge if he had one an dhe Tfffpts and runs out the door, 'MEEp Meep!' Caern glances at Broadside with a glare, "You did that on purpose!" Broadside says, "Did what on purpose? I burned out a servo during that last shot in the basketball tournament." Caern shakes his head angrily and sprints towards the door in pursuit. Broadside starts cackling as Caern gets out of audialshot. You move west to the Entrance to Autobot City... Entrance to Autobot City(#352 RntN) The massive structure of Metroplex looms in front of you, a gigantic battlefortress and Earth headquarters of the Autobots. Large towers relay information from around the world and the large communications tower in the center keeps Metroplex in contact with the rest of the known universe. Security cameras and gun emplacements surrounding the entrance make sure that only those welcome enter. Scorch marks and small holes in the wall are reminders of the last battle here at Autobot City. To the north is the landing pad for flights in and out of Earth. Contents: Statue of Optimus Prime(#2970 On) PlayCo Toys(#4717 O) Automatic Base Defenses(#3970 iOrM+) Caern enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the east. Caern has arrived. Caern sprints into view and pauses. A group of young girl scouts are paused listening to their leader. The attractive troop leader pauses, "And this is the entrance of the huge autobot Metroplex." One of the smaller girls rubs her sleeve across her nose, "Why they call him an auto-bot if he transforms into a city?" Several of the other children nod their heads indignantly. FX runs out and looks at the girl scout troops and jumps over them starting off his jetpack. and leaps over them and then looks around. Caern groans, "Oh no. Tour day. Several of the girls scream as FX tears through one of them calling out, "Mrs Bigglesworth. That big robot almost stepped on me!" You say, "Uh.. Uh. Sorry girls." Caern yells out, "Everyone out of the way!" He sprints forward as the children scream and hit the deck which pretty much slows him down totally. You say, "I didn't Uh.." FX looks back and sees Caern on his tail, "Another time maybe... Put me in for some of thoes Min cookies tho..." Caern gestures at a few gumby bots standing nearby, "SOMEONE STOP THAT JUNK!!" FX looks at Caern and laughs, "You go this way.. I'll go the other." FX looks like he is talking to himself. FX has arrived. FX says, "Rigth boss!" You say, "No Left!" You say, "Ugh.. Hired help these days!" Several of the autobots look confused. One looks openly amused and the other doesn't even look up as Caern tears through the crowded region. His foot hammers down with a dreadful crunch near one of teh girls. Caern grimaces in horror as he looks down at his foot only to sigh in relief as he has merely crushed one of the boxes of cookies. FX splits into two it almost seems as two FX's run in opposite directions. A little toe haired girl screams in fury, "Those are $3.50 a box." Another girl, "Oh my god, he stepped on Dorothy's cookies!" Yet a third cries out, "YOU BASTARD!" Broadside enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the east. Broadside has arrived. Broadside walks into the area. Several small girl scouts are clustered around Caern viciously beating at his legs with their wee lil purses. FX heads for the landing pad while the other one heads for the outskirts of San Fran. Caern cries out, "Will someone stop that...HEY,...THAT HURT" He glares at one of the little kids, "Look everyone an ice cream truck!" Most of the wee nippers are distracted and he races past them and pauses near the landing bay, "Which one went where?" Broadside points to the one heading into San Fran. "That's probably a holo." Is he telling the truth, who knows? FX waves at Caern from just inside the Landing pad, "I bid you a fond farewell, Autobot Caern!" Caern glares back at Broadside, "YOu'll forgive me if I find your consul someone dubious." Splash enters from the Landing Pad to the north. Splash has arrived. Caern reaches over and forcefully smacks a button, "Metroplex. Seal the landing pad." FX is at the door ready to step out into the big wide world hoping to excape the long arm of the law. FX erks and looses contact with his hologram. FX has left. FX fades away inside the landing pad. Splash quickly scoots out of the Landing Pad, just to see it close behind him. He turns to see *two* FX's, starts to say something, and then, just looks confused. Broadside yawns, and smirks, "Told ya." Caern says, "Will someone stop that JUNKION!" Caern dashes towards the now revealed junkion. FX waves to Caern, "And for my next trick.... A disappearing act! I think you need some time to get some R&R. Stop that pigeon! Stop that Pigeon How? nab him grab him...." Splash ... o O (Hmm, this Caern guy sure is a mover and a shaker...must be the warrior type...) Broadside says, "Yo, Caern, stop playing around, before you get on the nerves of the leader of or closest ally, will you." FX begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Splash, Broadside, Caern. Caern yells back, "The leader of our closest ally is wanted for murder on Monacus. A charge he as much as admitted to me moments ago so STOP HIM!" Splash starts running one way, then back the other, then takes a seat in the middle of the floor. "We need some truth serum, or somethin'." Broadside says, "Probably just quoting TV again, and Caern here misunderstood." Caern says, "Not according to the Monacus police." FX jumps out the door, "See you on the flipside, Judge Dredd!" You move west to the Outskirts of San Francisco... Outskirts of San Francisco, California(#7310 Rnt) Northern California still struggles to maintain its natural beauty, even though it is teeming with people and fighting with all the problems of a modern society. For the most part, the hilly green city of San Francisco succeeds in that venture. Still, you get the sense of vast overcrowding pushing at the seams of this place, where no privacy can truly be afforded. Even the outskirts and suburbs overflow with people. Contents: Autobot Hovercraft (Sentinel)(#4990 Oaer) Autobot City Base Defense Perimeter(#5096 iOaer) Autobot City (#4438 Oer) Parking Lot(#5691 Oen) Sensor(#6805 On) Suburban House(#4870 IOe=) Avacado tree stump(#6942 OaM) Mud Hole(#7678 On) Broadside says, "yah, well, the Monacus police ain't exactly the most honest cops in the world either." Caern swears, "Neddron's Belt." He turns, "You are not the character judge of other planets law enforcement officials Broadside. Your conduct in this matter will be noted in my log and dealt with AS SOON AS I apprehend that fugitive." Caern turns and sprints out the door in pursuit. Splash looks at Caern, wondering what he'll do. "I'm sure we can find him if we need to..." He turns to Broadside and starts to laugh. "You're telling me. Enough credit chips at the P-Dome and you can get'em to 'officially report' anything! It's a good practical joke--seeing your name in the headlines for littering in the Abandoned Alley..." Broadside nods to Splash, then winks, "he has to ctach FX first. I put five credits on the little guy." You move west to the Outskirts of San Francisco... FX looks at the Mud Pit. A about half the lawn outside Autobot City has been plowed up and water added, leaving a large hole filled with mud in the already somewhat battered grass. The thick, sticky muck goes down to a distance of 4 or 5 feet in places. There are prints of all kinds in the mud, but the majority of them seem to be from tank treads. Overall, it's a huge mess. Caern enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the east. Caern has arrived. Caern sprints into view. FX runs on out and keeps on running as then he slips and falls into the huge mud hole with a *Ker-Splat* FX's legs go up in the air and hsi arms fly out and he lands on his back. It's a very funny sight to see from anyones perspective, "Mega bummer." Caern yells out, "FX...STOP! You are only making this harder than it has to be!" Caern sprints forward. He puts on the brakes at the last minutes and goes skidding across the mud neatly passing the prone FX. FX slurps around in the mud, "When the mud hits you in the eye like a big pizza pie it's amore(Sp?)!" FX stands up and begings to sink rapidly, "I ain't gunna go to no stinking jail for a crim I didn't comit! I didn't kill anyone. Drag that down to the east river get your aft outta here, I wana be me!! Right now I'm having that not so fresh feeling." FX looks down as he is upto his knees in mud. FX tries to climb his way out of the muck, "Charr Revisited. And so it shall be.. Mud, Murk, and Muck.. Somehow I must get free!" FX looks as Caern slides past him allowing him a few extra moments to excape again. Caern lands with a dull SQUISH. FX looks at Caern as he edges to the outter rim of the mud hole. Caern shifts and pivots, "BLAST IT. STOP!!!" FX Excapes from the mud and smiles and waves, "So long Sucka!" FX puts his right hand over his face and echos the words, "G-Force Transform!" The area around FX lights up in a spinning multi-colored flash. FX is now in his robots in disgiuse form of a red volkswagen. Junky VW w/ U-haul Trailer drives off into the maze of the California highways. Caern comes to his feet only to have them slip out from under him at the last minute. Caern finally manages to get to his feet as FX disappears into the distance. Another larger Autobot walks over smirking. Shackle asks smiling, "You okay Caern?" Caern shakes his head, "Gather the troops Shackle. We have a fugitive!" Shackle turns away chuckling, "Sure..Caern...Sure." Caern's optics flash as he gazes off into the distance in the direction of the departing junk, "I'll get you yet."
