Ch 15
Glide was standing outside the XXXX bouncing on her pedes holding a box when Blurr zipped up skidding to a halt, Burr looked Glide up and down for a nano-click before speaking
"What-are-you-doing-Glide?" Blurr asked
"Waiting for Jazz to show me my room aboard the uh...the... uh what is this ship called?" Glide scrunched up her faceplate in thought
"The-ship-has-not-been-christened-yet-because-its-a-prototype,-we-took-it-on-our-mission-as-a-test-run" Blurr explained
"Well we gotta call it something for now... what about... protozone?"
Blurr shuttered his optics and just looked at Glide
"What? Just an idea it would help if I knew more about it..."
"Well-the-ship-itself-is-not-what-was-being-tested-persay-but-more-of-the-ships-controls-and-data-storage" Blurr paused trying to find an easy way to explain it
"Don't dumb it down for me I'm smarter than I look..." Glide deadpanned
Blurr tipped his helm to the side a bit and smirked "You-do-realize-I-am-an-intelligence-officer-correct?"
"Yea I know, why do you think I like to hang around you? For you good looks? Because to be honest that's just a bonus" Glide said that last part with a dismissive wave of her servo
Blurr Twitched a bit before glitching and hitting the ground in a temporary stasis and that is when Jazz sauntered up
"Wha' happened ta Blurr?" Jazz asked nudging said bot with the tip of his pedes
Glide looked from Blurr to Jazz as she responded with a questioning tone "I think I made him glitch..."
"Ah will jus' carry him ta his rood den, his es right next ta yours so it's not tha' big a deal" Jazz Picked Blurr up and carried him bridal style onto the ship then looked over his shoulder at Glide
"Well come on den"
"Oh right... coming" Glide scurried up the ramp onto the ship
O_O
As Glide entered her new room she felt something familiar
"Es sumthin' wrong?" Jazz questioned having walked in from putting Blurr in his room
"No just something about this room feels... familiar... and now in thinking about Jetstorm" Glide was thoroughly confused
"... ya are sumthin' special aren't ya?" Jazz asked shock splayed out over his faceplate
"What makes you say that? And you are just now realizing this?"
"Well ya jus keep surprisin' meh..." Jazz paused to look out in the hallway then looked back to Glide
"This was Jetstorm's room..." Jazz explained
Glides optics widened "OH! That explains it... I must be sensing the residual energy of his natural magnetic field"
Jazz's optics widened "Ya... ya can sense a bots aura?"
"yea it kinda goes along with the hovering thing... I think it may be more of a manipulation of fields around me..." Glides optics dimmed in thought "Or maybe it's just something else I can do..." Glide shrugged and set her box on the desk next to the door
"Anyway" Glide continued "I never got any more information about the ship so I can think of what to call it"
"Ah already got a name for tha ship" Jazz grinned
"Oh? What is it?" Glide asked
"Titan-Anic"
"Glide cycled her optics a few times
"Sounds a lot like Titanic..."
"OH! I like dat better" Jazz's visor brightened
Glide twitched "Why that name?" Glide asked through clenched denta
Jazz cocked his optic ridge at Glides tone
"Well tha Ship was designed wit' pieces of a schematic for a Titan class war vessel an' tha onboard computer uses Anic technology"
"Anic tech?" Glide asked curiosity overshadowing irritation
"Yea sumthin' ta do with complicated numbah patters an' stuff too advanced and borin' for meh"
"Oh... it's just..well..."
Out in the hall a dual Battle cry of 'GLOMP' was heard fallowed by a string of curses spoken so fast you couldn't figure out where the Frag ended and the Scrap started
Ok I made a Titanic reference in here *hint hint*
*Anic is the reference for the experimental, high-performance, general-purpose dataflow programming language ANI:
ANI is used to provide automatic number announcement, an internal test facility for telephone maintenance workers (I'm applying it as a complicated response codes within a computer, the correct codes entered in the correct order will activate different parts of the ship such as the thrusters, weapons, locking mechanisms, the communication links, access to files in the computer terminal ect. but it will only be for remote control access so the ship can't be easily hacked and controlled, the controls on the ship are more password oriented...). The service, allows an installer to identify an individual line by using it to dial a special unpublished number in a range reserved for testing purposes (such as xxx-xxxx in much of North America).
