Enter the Lightning

[booty_chaser]

Well, that's that!

[Ashe and her friends have hauled the captured Raiders temporarily into the cells at Alhambra base, with the permission of Unity command, until they know what to do with them, since there were rather more than expected. And as she comes up from the cells, she dusts off her hands and grins]

Now for introductions and stuff. So, hey everyone, I'm Ashe. I'm a Hunter for the Legion. Thanks for the assist before - that could have got a bit hairy. [What, does she mean it didn't?]

We'll be with you a few days while we get word on where these guys we captured should go. Don't worry, we won't be a bother, right guys?

Oh, and on the Biometal thing - I know you're probably curious, but I honestly have no idea what happened there, either. Sorry! Model A apparently also doesn't - he says he can't remember much except that he really doesn't want that Prometheus guy to get his hands on him.
Sorry.
He says he's sorry about that.

So, anyway, nice to meet you all! See you around!

[If you want to find her to talk to her, though, she'll be really easy to find around the base and the hangar, since she and her friends were allowed to bring in their ship for a checkup]

So you were looking for something without knowing what it was?

[booty_chaser]

All we knew is that it was some sort of dangerous artifact that we probably shouldn't leave in the hands of criminals.

Well, there were rumors among the hunters that biometal was some sort of horrible artifact that ate souls and stuff, but honestly this little guy seems harmless.

Gee, thanks.

[majestic_keiki]

Eats souls?

[booty_chaser]

That's what they said, yes. You know how rumors are. I'm almost disappointed, but on the other hand, I came out of it with some sweet booty, so not complaining!

I'm pretty sure I don't eat souls! ...I think.

[majestic_keiki]

Biometal is a pretty bland term for something supposed to eat souls...But, yes, you definitely seems to have gotten something impressive.

[booty_chaser]

Bland?!

[Model A comes out of Ashe's jacket and floats airily in front of Kei]

Hey hey, relax!

She just called me bland! Well you're neither majestic nor a prince, so there!

She can't even hear you, Model A.

Harumph.

[Ashe looks at Kei with a conspiratorial smile as Model A turns its "back" to her] He took a bit of issue at the bland thing. Don't worry, Model A. I think Biometal sounds pretty cool.

[majestic_keiki]

So Biometal is also prickly and easily insulted.

[booty_chaser]

Why you- Ashe, let's megamerge and kick her butt!

Calm down, you.

She is definitely being a bit of a jerk, though. [Ashe looks at Kei] Calling other people things to their face is pretty rude, you know.

[majestic_keiki]

I'm sorry, I'm just not used to things I can't hear talking.

[booty_chaser]

Apology accepted. Right, Model A?

Hmph.

He agrees too. But honestly, Model A isn't even the strangest thing about today, between the cats and that Prometheus guy.

[majestic_keiki]

Not about this place either. Sounds like you haven't met the Autobots yet, for example.

[booty_chaser]

Not really, no. Should I have?

[majestic_keiki]

Not particularly. But they're the weirdest thing around here.

[booty_chaser]

Weirder thn talking cats piloting mechs? I have to see this!

[majestic_keiki]

I have no idea how to rank talking, mecha piloting cats to giant, sentient robots transforming into mundane, but old-fashioned objects when it comes to weirdness.
