Cybertron: Kaon: Data and Lawless' club:

Lawless transforms at the gates. "Someone better have a damn good…you!"

Standing over a bound Transformer was a menacing Transformer. His grey color scheme was covered with various scars from various battles. "He resisted me."

"Damn it Grey, you didn't have to wreck my joint!" Lawless yells.

"This mech's worth twenty times the damages, I can repay you for damages." The mech called Grey says.

"What about lost revenue?" Lawless says.

"Your problem, not mine." Grey then looks at the others that pulled up. "You got guests, guess that explains why you're so edgy."

Substance looks around, "Doesn't look like it's taken too much damage from out here. "

"We should look inside." SolarCat says making for the door.

"Not yet, the fire isn't put out. This guy had an incandescent flame grenade cannon. Torched your bartender and the stage good." Grey says.

"Not Pivot! He was the best bartender I had!" Lawless groans.

"So…Gunmetal Grey…been a while." Gravedigger says.

"Grave, haven't seen you since the Sonic Canyons job. Glad our disagreement didn't end you." Grey says.

"Yeah, you got lucky. I'll leave it at that." Gravedigger says.

Substance backs off a little. "Sucks, I was looking forward to a good time." Again SolarCat shakes her head.

"Stand aside, I'll speed this up. If you can get supplies ready I can do this in ten clicks." Gravedigger says.

Lawless looks at him. "Yeah...sure...alright." He says before getting on his comm.

"Whatever gets things going?" Substance says.

"At least I don't see any bots here." Medicon says. "They occasionally come, the rowdy ones. Last time I was here Repugnus started a fist fight with Fangry and well...things got messy fast. I got some parts out of it though." Medicon says.

"That sounds fun." Substance says sarcastically.

"Careful, he might take your parts for fun if you keep that up." SolarCat says.

"Actually I gave him some a while back. Enjoying the optical wiring?" Medicon says.

"So that's where that came from. Not bad at all." Substance says.

"My parts are available for other doctor's too. I might not have been me who put them in but I was the supplier." Medicon says. "Who does that work for your group again? I think I dealt with Raider on the comm about it but I don't think it's her job."

"Uh... We don't have a dedicated medic, Soundwave fills in Sustain does upgrades." Substance answers.

"Interesting." Medicon says. "Sustain is decently skilled."

"Yeah works in a pinch." Substance smirks.

"No complaints though she's asked for a schematic. Autobot stuff." SolarCat shakes her head.

"Well if she needs pointers she can ask me. I know all about...Autobot stuff." Medicon says. "That was more in reference to being trained by First Aid more than the...chopping up Bots thing."

"I will let her know. I doubt she has had much of that practice." SolarCat nods.

"So ..." Substance looks around. "What's next?" Valclaron signs quickly too quick for most to see.

"You can come in regardless; I can at least show you around." Lawless says, motioning the others to follow. Valclaron walks in looking as if he's a home in this sort of establishment.

"You know, he really shouldn't surprise me anymore, but he does." Substance says watching Val.

"At times I don't know what to make of it either." SolarCat nodded then followed Valclaron in.

"Wait for me." Substance headed in.

"Welcome to my...establishment?" Lawless sees a large Transformer lodged into the nearest wall as they enter. "Damn it Grey!" As they look around they see what normally looks like a decent place. The colors, the lighting and the music that was still playing were all very much Decepticon in nature.

Substance looks around, "Looks like a nice little spot."

"If you like this sort of thing." SolarCat says looking curiously.

"It looks better when half the stuff is not shot up." Lawless says. "About the only thing we can really do is stage walk-ons."

"Tell me HE'S not here for that." Medicon says.

"No, I don't see Sky-Byte anywhere." Lawless says.

SolarCat stays near Valclaron acting as if she's taken.

Substance shakes his head. "You got a table or shall I just pick one?" he asks Lawless.

"I got a booth for big parties, come along." Lawless looks around. "AND SOMEONE FIND HEADLOCK. I WANT TO FIND OUT WHY HE DIDN'T STOP THIS!" He yells at his staff.

"Lead away then." Substance says following.

"Now we got plenty of different Energon to offer, some even from Earth." Lawless says. "We got drink lists at the table."

"Earth stuff huh? Herd it can be strong." Substance says.

"Nothing worse than what we have at Daraknus." SolarCat says. Valclaron just shakes his head.

"Depends on the source. Some has kick; others seem like a twist on the same old." Lawless says.

"He's still young." SolarCat smirks.

"Old enough to know I want to try a few." Substance smarts back.

"We don't have a protoform's menu." Lawless teases.

"Ouch." Red says. "He's not holding back."

"Not that young." Substance shakes fist at SolarCat, "You know better than that."

"I do, but it's funny you tend to be the youngest often." She smiles back.

"Hey, better the youngest than the oldest. Am I right Val?" Red Accel says.

Valclaron growls then glares, signs. "Not that old yet. I'll be old when I can no longer fight."

SolarCat laughs, "As if you'll let that happen."

"Hey, we're in the same age range, don't forget. I called myself old there too. Plus, you gotta admit we are the senior members of this bunch. Doubt any of them saw the world before Megatron's war." Red says. "Though Meds might be made from bits and pieces of those who have."

"Well I can confirm my left hand is from an old dock worker who got into a fight with me outside of Macaddam's. Guy claimed he trained one Orion Pax when he got hired on at a certain shipping yard Megatron would later visit." Medicon says. "I still have some pieces of him in storage too."

"Orion who?" Red asks.

"Prime before the Matrix and Alpha Trion." Medicon explains.

"Oh, never knew that." Red says.

"Not common knowledge. I had access to his medical files though." Medicon says. Valclaron chuckles lightly at them not knowing who Orion Pax is while nodding.

"I'm sure there are lots of stories to tell." SolarCat says.

"Oh what I could tell you of the Autobots. You wouldn't believe how pathetic they really are." Medicon smiles. "I could tell you how weak and sad some of them can be."

"Oh, give us a few examples man. Some good ones" Red Accel says.

"Every time he loses a patient, First Aid cries himself to sleep that night. Ironhide has a secret fear of his chemical weaponry leaking inside of him due to a flaw in his systems. And a young Ultra Magnus used to have a mental problem the bots call Primus apotheosis, a mental condition where one obsessively worships and seeks to emulate Optimus. That is until therapy helped cure him." Medicon says.

"Slag, and I thought Wierdwolf and Dreadwind were head cases." Red Accel says.

SolarCat scoffs, "THEY will give you plenty of reasons to dislike them if you give them half a chance. They are not who they like you to believe they are."

"I am sure that there are some high and might Decepticons that think they're all that too, and I don't mean like Megatron I mean like goodie goodies." Substance says.

"Might want to ixnay. Ravage has been tailing us the entire time and is in the shadows behind us. Soundwave's keeping you guys on a leash." Medicon says. "Infra-red optics, a hobby requirement." Red turns and looks.

"Stupid, stop looking." Lawless says. "You just tipped him off."

Suddenly a loud crash is heard as a large form comes charging in. "AAAHHHH! MY HEEAAAAADDDD!"

"Slagtastic...that's why. HEADLOCK YOU IDIOT. STAND STILL!" Lawless looks at Amazon. "Need you to hit him as hard as you can."

As the massive Headlock stands there one could tell he was trying to transform but seemed stuck. "HURRY! THIS PAIN...IT HURTS!"

Laughing SolarCat shakes her head. "We were told not to go too far, and it is normal for Soundwave to stay in touch like that so that if we are needed we can respond." Valclaron growls.

"Yeah can't get a personal day to save your life." Substance says.

"Ravage is known to not record things on occasion. He's trusted enough to give verbal accounts. He's got a very unique voice." Medicon says.

"Wait...he can talk?" Red says.

"Usually via recording an internal monologue which Soundwave can play, so expect fairness from him. It's the bird you need worry about. Laserbeak is a kissaft and Buzzsaw a snob." Medicon.

"HOLD STILL YA MOOK!" Amazon yells.

"JUST FRIGGIN' DO IT WOMAN! I'M IN AGONY!" Headlock bellows back at her.

"Come on, next you're going to tell me you didn't know they had a telepathic link." Substance shakes his head.

"I've always thought that a little odd but it seems helpful most of the time." SolarCat says.

"Not to Megatron. One means of keeping the peace is not letting Megatron sweat the small stuff. It's partially blackmail material and partially Soundwave not wanting to waste Megatron's attention on petty things." Medicon says. "So he hides and collects some info and...If need be...'stumbles' across it later."

"And you need not fear that?" Red Accel says.

"I'm more transparent than Mirage's windshields." Medicon says. "You know all there is to know of me. That and...Why do you think I get to kill the occasional Con? Soundwave asks me for favors here and there..."

"Think most of us become accustomed to that while Soundwave was on Daraknus." Substance says.

"Yeah for the most part." SolarCat agrees.

"That's right, he's worked with you before. I remember Data bugging him about not letting his sister get hurt." Medicon says.

Suddenly a loud crash is heard as Headlock reverts to robot mode. "Aaahhh...that's better."

Amazon glares at him. "You almost gored me Sugah."

"I was blinded by pain, you can't blame me." Headlock says.

"Syphonic is a lot more rough than I thought she'd be. Not like a mech or anything but she can take a hit, and give one. Surprised me." Substance says looking at the menu. "Any suggestions?"
