As Random finishes his Sunrise, deciding what exactly to do next, he takes a look around the bar . . .

He didn't like the way she just homed in on him just now.

Great. Thanks, Keg.

"I told you he'd been eager to dismantle that drone."

She deedlebeeps a stream of curses. "Gimme t' coordinates so's I kin go git 'em."

"Wait." Blue gets to her feet, frowning. "He went after the Decepticon??"

Getting off of his stool, he rattles them off for Hormah.

Then he puts the part down so he's not fiddling with it anymore but taps the bar's top instead. "Um . . . yes."

[random_xtras]

"Alone?" Blue's look is full of dismay as Hormah vanishes without having to manually program her PINpoint.

He winces at that.

"He didn't ask, he left before I gather up anything resembling courage, and it might've taken too much time to find suitable back-up."

"I thought I programmed him better than that!" She puts her hands to her helm and shakes her head. "Primus...."

Then she winces herself. "Programmed him to protect Arcee above all else. Slag... I'm an idiot."

[lumina-mechnics.livejournal.com]

"Um. Yeah. I probably didn't help much either . . . And you're not an idiot."

[random_xtras]

"I should have given him a little more self-preservation." She shuts her optics off and shakes her head.

[lumina-mechnics.livejournal.com]

"That might've been good . . . or it could've prevent him from doing his job."

Blue isn't the sort to really get really worked up and curse, and she doesn't do that now. Just looks sad and worried as she prays for the two youngsters who've tossed themselves into unknown dangers.

Not knowing what else to say, Random settles back onto the bar stool and fiddles with the part again. Stupid waiting!

And then Blue springs forward as Hormah appears, a big grin on her face and Keg down on one knee and sighting along his gun behind her. The little femme's own arsenal is folded out and fully on display, both the mortor on her arm and the big cannon on her chest.

"Keg, you glitched...!" Blue breaks off as she sees energon and mech fluid on the floor beneath him.

O_O Whoa.
