A gun practically in his face, Eye-Fire slowly reaches for his subspace container, being sure to keep his other hand in plain view. Slowly, perhaps excruciatingly slowly, he draws something small from subspace. On closer inspection it would appear to be a small spanner with a screwdriver on the one end.
Again, he slowly reaches down to give this spandriver to Misfire.
"There are three bolts on my shoulder plating. If you undo them, and take the plating off, you will see another two bolts and three screws on the joint itself, along with a large tube with a bolt on it in my left shoulder. Undo the bolts, and unfasten the screws, and then be very, very sure to tighten the bolt on the tube as much as you can. You can then take my arms off." Eye-Fire says, not particularly worried about the weapons pointed at him.
"By doing that, I'll no longer have a barrel in gun mode, which will give me enough room to transform in the vent and get out. I'll also be without arms, so I am essentially trusting you not to take advantage of that. If you try this, be extra specially sure to do that bolt on the tube up tight. If you don't, I'll bleed energon out all over your bed and perhaps die or go into stasis lock, I'm not sure."
So, Eye-Fire is essentially trusting all involved with his life. Should he perhaps also ask one of them to choose the casket and arrange flowers?

Fleetwind cares if Misfire is in the way? This might make a happy Targetmaster, if he knew that.
Not that Misfire would admit it.
The sound Misfire makes as Eye-Fire pulls out a tool and gives him detailed instructions is a mixture of annoyance and frustration. If he could so easily be disassembled, and had the tool for it, why was the sniper stupid enough to threaten them all?
He takes the tool. Aimless is still pressed against Eye-Fire's optic casing, though perhaps not as hard. And it will stay there until Eye-Fire's gun arm is removed.
Misfire asks his roommates, "One of you want to give me a hand with this? Please?"

Well, if Fleetwind fires while Misfire is in the way, he won't hit the person he's firing at!
That's the big issue, really.
When Misfire asks, he shrugs, locks the terminal, and stands up. "Sure," he says, taking the screwdriver from the others. He peers close at Eye-Fire for a moment, then exclaims, "Ah! Okay, there's the screws. Hang on..." With that, he gets to work.

Since Skystrike's flower arranging skills are impressively nil and resources for making caskets were probably restricted, Skystrike votes the traditonal and economical recycling option. It was either that or out the airlock, which might be entertaining when explosives were added but generally it less helpful in the long run.
She watches Fleetwind go over to help Misfire help Eye-Fire out of the vent and shrugs before standing up off the berth to wait in case additonal help was required.

So Misfire is annoyed with Eye-Fire for thinking Decepticons might just act like Decepticons?
"Just be careful with those screws. They get lost very, very easily." Eye-Fire explains, the LCD screen on his chest chaning from a sad face to a happy face now that he's going to get out.
It will of course be upside down to anyone that notices.

Misfire is annoyed because cruelty for the sake of cruelty has never set well with him, and he had not taken Fleetwind and Skystrike's suggestion of slicing up Eye-Fire seriously. To him, Eye-Fire overreacted like whoa.
Misfire also doesn't get emoticons, and merely finds the screen in Eye-Fire's chest rather odd. And perhaps disturbing.
Once Eye-Fire's gun arm is off, Misfire will lower Aimless. He holds out a hand to collect the screws as Fleetwind removes them. He's glad Skystrike is on guard, so to speak. Misfire isn't really trusting the sniper much at the moment.
He grumbles, "Next time, take measurements before you start crawling around in such places!"

Fleetwind wasn't making his suggestion out of cruelty. He was making it out of practicality. Fleetwiind just tends to view physical comfort as secondary to getting the job done. Especially when the physical /discomfort/ can be repaired easily.
The Seeker hasn't really figured out what is up] yet with the symbols on Eye-Fire's chest, so he just ignores them as he continues to work, leaning over Misfire to get those last few screws.

Skystrike has a saw blade. Finding unusual uses for it was only imperative by simple virtue of having it. Since Fleetwind was already taking the current nuisance apart though, it seemed the saw blade will simply have to wait another day.
In the mean time she gives Eye-Fire's chest a dull glower when it switches to a happy face.

Eye-Fire waits for his other arm to be removed, and takes the time to look around he room, before Skystrike staring at his chest catches his attention. Not that he's really sure why, having agian forgotten about the panel.
Eye-Fire returns the stare, and won't break it until she does. The panel changes to reflect this.

Misfire "holsters" Aimless, and continues to help Fleetwind by being holder of arms and keeper of screws.
And provided the pastel Seeker gets the second arm off in his next post, Misfire will get off the berth and stand out of the way so Eye-Fire can get out, get back together, and get the hell out of Misfire's room.

Fleetwind removes the other arm, then hands Skystrike both arm and screwdriver, since she seems handier with the tools than he is. He peers back and forth between Skystrike staring at Eye-fire's chest and Eye-fire's chest staring at Skystrike.
It's a shame that Fleetwind doesn't have the cultural background to note that while it may not be unusual to stare at an ample bosom (Eye-Fire's body design is similar to Shockwave's, after all), it's pretty darned odd for the bosoms to stare back.

Skystrike was busy having a staring contest with someone's ample, LCD screen adorned bosom and Fleetwind decides to hand her a disembodied limb and a screwdriver? She glances down at the objects in her hand before giving the other seeker a sideways look.
Well, fine. It wasn't like it was a difficult staring contest anyways.

Apparently, playing pass the parcel with the tools and his arm is the new in thing amongst fliers, as is staring at his chest, glowering optional. Needlenose will want to hear about this as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, its a good thing Eye-Fire doesn't consider himself female, or there might be some slapping and accusations of of peoples processors being in the gutter being thrown around at the aforementioned bosom staring.
"This is just a suggestion, but if you pick one person to dismantle me things might go quicker."

"Well, since you are now minus both your arms, which was what you said to remove, we should be done here," Misfire mutters. As he moves back a bit to give the gun room even more room.
About this time, a very loud voice hollers from Misfire's hip.
"I can't take it anymore! Some one please tell me why this guy's boobs makes faces! It's hurting my head worse than that freaky porn I found!"
Aimless tumbles down, ending his mini-rant on his feet with his finger jabbing upwards toward Eye-Fire's chest.
Misfire facepalms.

Fleet turns and nods in agreement with Misfire. "Arms are gone. What's keeping you stuck now?" he complains, a little annoyed. He frowns down at Aimless, then looks around at the others, shaking his head. He gestures to the Nebulan.
"What's his problem?" the yellow Seeker asks.
