Jynx, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Nook. 165. [Make up your own] "Did you just prank her/me!?"
*grins*
"You've got to be fraggin' kidding me."
"Unfortunately, no." Jynx sighed, shaking her helm as they walked down the hallway together. Nook's bright optics were narrow as he stare down at the datapad she had handed him.
"I don't get it. How is that even possible?"
"You're the Praxian." She huffed at him. "You tell me."
His doorwings twitched in annoyance on his back. "These readings don't make any sense."
"Hey," She shrugged. "I don't have any idea. I was just in your room looking for those disk when that pad started blaring. I thought bringing it too you would be a good idea considering what that generator is suppose to be doing."
"I know," He sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the damn thing. It shouldn't be this complicated and it damn sure shouldn't be doing this."
"I didn't think so." She admitted. "I thought it leveled off last decacycle."
"It did." He huffed. "It's been stable since then. I was starting to think this crazy thing might actually work. Now I'm not sure."
"You can't give up that easy." She reached over to tug at his arm as they rounded the last bend heading for the last doorway on the left. "This is a great idea."
"It's Blue's idea. I'm only helping." Nook said. "Its his choice if we keep trying or not. Prowl thinks it will work and he's been running the numbers I have too. We're both getting the same output. Wheeljack and Soundwave think they've got a containment work out. If it all falls into place this might do it. I don't want to give it up, but if it's not stable, Love, it's too dangerous."
"Never stopped us before."
"Doyouwant to be the one deploying it when it goes wrong?"
Well, no, no she really didn't want to. Then again, if it could work even by the tiniest of ways it might be worth it.
"Look," Nook relented. "Lets just go take a look at it. It might be nothing. The scanner alert could be acting up again. If it is something wrong then I'll comm Shockwave and we'll take a better look. Hopefully it's just nothing."
By then they had reached the door. Nook reaching up to key open the door. The slab of metal sliding away to allow them in. With a nod of his helm Nook let Jynx go before him. The little femme slipping in with hopes of seeing the project not trying to destroy itself. Only the step she took inside the door didn't take her forward.
It took her up.
With a yelp she found herself yanked upright by a rope around her peds. Sending her flying up into the long pole rafters of the room in a yanked sling. Arms windmilling and optics wide as the string bounced her once, twice, and then snapped sending her falling faceplate first into a conveniently places tub of goo with a huge splash.
It didn't hurt.
But it tasted awful and felt weird. The sticky stuff clinging to her as she burst back to the surface with a yelped gasp in time to hear Nook shouting as he ran over to the deep tub she was in. And hear Sideswipe cursing up a storm as he and Sunstreaker jumped down from the rafters.
By that time Nook was hauling her goo covered self up and out of the green mess letting her get her peds under her as she stood there rather dumbly. Arms held up and out as she gazed down at herself with a pinched look of disgust.
"Oh slag. Slag, slag, slag." Sides was slinking up then. Looking like a cowering puppy as he looked her over. Sunstreaker was there a tad faster. Faceplate twisted up in both disgust much like her own and horror much like his brother.
In only took a nano to figure out what this was and that it hadn'tbeen meant for her, but that didn't change the fact that she was the one standing there dripping green goo.
That of course was when Nook turned to them with a slow growl. "Did you just prank her!? Did you just tryand prank me!?"
"I didn't mean to get you, Kitten." Sides held up his hands, glancing between both Nook's growl and Jynx's pout. "I'm sorry."
"Were youthe one screwing with my generator!?"
"Hey," He snapped back. "I didn't touch your stupid toy. I just made the alarm call you. It was just supposed to be a prank, mech. I'm sorry."
"Yeah." Nook snorted. "Sorry because you caught her and not me. Not for doing it."
"Nook," She sighed at him, wiping at the goo all over her face.
"Don't you Nookme! He could have hurt something!"
"He didn't." She huffed. "He wasn't trying to. We're you, Sides?"
The big red mech looked to the floor. "No. I was just trying to mess with him."
"I shouldn't have let him." Sunstreaker breathed out. "I'm sorry too."
Nook glared at them still, but Jynx just shrugged. She was kind of use to it all by now. She knew what it was really about, and hey, at least they weren't trying to actually hurt each other anymore. This was an improvement.
Sorta.
Though, she'd like it better if she wasn't covered in green sticky slag.
