~ Heh, now, why would I ever do that?


"Swindle..." a threatening tone warned—growled at, really—the attack vehicle.

Freezing in its tracks, the military truck's engines rumbled a bit, nervous. Not that it would admit that! "Ah... yes, Ons?" His 'innocent victim' voice... yep, guilty.

A cackle somewhere to his left. "Ooh, you're in for it now, Swin!"

An exasperated sigh crackles in his comm. link. "What did you do this time, Swindle?"

"Nothing, I swear Blast Off!"

"Yah, right!" The sadistic laughter reaches his audio receptors, receiving a slight growl from the jeep.

"Shut it, Tex!"

"Swindle..." his commanding officer rumbled, dangerously low.

Swindle gulped. 'Scrap.'
