Long Haul stares at Kup, optics feverously bright. A planet? A whole planet? One emptied, and another just gone? He just can't process that. There's been so much going on these past few weeks, he's still reeling from the discovery of what his near future holds, and now they're talking about something that can destroy whole planets.
Long Haul sighs and rubs his forehead. "M'gonna have to get back to looking for supplies soon." Supplies are something Long Haul is used to. They're something he can focus on. Let people like Kup and Xaaron worry about vanished planets and 'Unicron' and whatnot.
But is that what a real explorer would do?

Kup looks at Grimlock and then Arcee when they ask if it's Unicron. He answers, "That's what Nightbeat thinks. Don't know as we've got proof yet."
But then there are the robots who apparently never heard of Unicron. "Unicron is... a bit hard to believe, if you've never seen a version of him. He's a whole slaggin' transforming planet, his only reason for existence seems to be to consume other planets. Got both our moons and part of Cybertron before Rodimus opened the Matrix and finished him off. Well, mostly finished him. We still got his head orbiting Cybertron, and we've had a problem or two from that since then."
OOC: For the record, unless someone has more questions in this round, I'm probably going to have Kup leave on my next post. Busy busy geezer!

Grimlock keeps his arms cross. "Unicron biiiiig Transformer...bigger than Omega Supreme. Much bigger."
Grimlock looks over at Kup, head tilted slightly over. "...problems? Me thought Rodimus took him out for good."

The fact that it was Nightbeat who suggested it is almost enough to make Arcee hope that the theory is wrong for that reason alone. Not that she has any desire to see a gigantic monster planet Transformer, but she'd like to see the detective taken down a peg or two. Something about him just rubs her the wrong way.
"If there's one thing I've learned, Grimlock, it's that it's hard to keep a bad guy down."

OOC: This thread has timed out. Anytime Jazz wants to post back in, he may, but for now he's being removed from the rotation and is being assumed to be silent. Well, okay. Not silent, but maybe he's looking about muttering to himself or what-not.
Long Haul listens to the conversation going on here, but pays even more attention to what's going on over the radio. Wow! Lot of impressive backgrounds! And Kup's done some s'plorin'! Cool!
It's a hard choice, so Long Haul decides to take the lazy route and just vote for the guy he's been pretty much following since he got here, anyway.

Kup sighs heavily and shakes his head. "Unfortunately, Arcee's about got the gist of it," he answers Grimlock.
"Anyway, looks like we're about done here. I was figuring I'd swing by, drop off my vote, and go check up on Wheelie's group. If you want to tag along, Grimlock, I can tell you 'bout Unicron's attempt to come back on the way, and then you can go and, well, reintroduce yourself to Wheelie. Either that, or you can stick around with these guys and help them with whatever they're up to... s'up to you."
Regardless of Grimlock's choice, Kup will now head off. He's meandering towards the Casting Ballots thread, although he might wander through the Walk and Talk thread on the way, if no one there has a problem with it.

The Dinobot commander is sold at the mention of Wheelie, turning to follow Kup rather eagerly. Oh, yeah, Unicron info is good too.
---------- OOC: Me Grimlock following Kup!

Arcee shakes her head as she listens to the chatter over the radio. An unknown from a universe of not especially nice Autobots, a capable enough seeming Jazz, a bitty Autobot who doesn't want the job, and Kup.
It's not really a hard choice who she'll vote for.
"What a little ragtag group we are," she says, mostly to herself.

Kup, of course! Though Xaaron did seem quite capable. Jazz did get distracted for a bit there. Look! Shiny-- Ok. So Jazz isn't really that bad, but he did have to walk away for a moment for that silly 'speech' thing. And then assimilating the information from the other two (three?) candidates. Plus there's the whole 'wildlife on the other side of the river' that caught his attention briefly. Jazz did need to take a look at that, just in case. Not that it was anything other than a bevy of birds, and a few small animals. Indigenous? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Were there other sorts of creatures being brought here as well? And of course there's some general talking to himself as he's wondering this sort of thing-- and by the time he wanders back to the group, Kup and Grimlock are fleeing the scene. "Party's over?" Jazz smiles. He'll have to wait patiently for a bit, it seems.
OOC: Sorry about that. RL distractions.

"Guess so," Long Haul starts, but then his optic band flashes as he hears something over radio.
"Oh, scrap! D'you guys even know where he would be? Where Xaaron and Nightbeat would be?"
Between having to chase down Hardwire and heading over to the plaza to vote, they may have to put off checking the warehouse district for another time!

Arcee shakes her head. "Not a clue. I knew there was something strange about that guy!"

"Nope." Jazz also answers Long Haul, and wheels around a bit, looking for the best path back towards Repair, once the destination of the bad guy with the little guy has been revealed. "C'mon." He doesn't really want to go back near /that/ place today, but hey. if they're in a position to cut the guy off... Not that they're close enough. They might have better luck just heading out to vote. The warehouse exploration has slipped Jazz's mind at the moment. There's a little babbling about vectors, as he's already moving. Still the most restless 'Bot out there. Except for maybe Blurr. Bluestreak and Jazz are in the same vicinity-- if the universe really wants to torment people, Blurr should be showing up soon...
OOC: Feel free to stop Jazz if necessary.

OOC: Not gonna stop you, Jazz.
"Naw!" Long Haul answers as he transforms and begins to head off in a different direction - towards the first set of co-ordinates Emirate Xaaron transmitted. "Xaaron said there were injuries, so I figure I'm more needed there. Plenty of people going to repair already."
What's this? Long Haul not rushing out to battle? You're getting him confused with his older self if you're surprised by that. This Long Haul likes 'Splorin'! But he also has the sense to know what takes priority, like tending towards injuries.
With that explanation, he rumbles towards Emirate Xaaron's last reported position, leaving Arcee to decide on her own which direction she wanted to go!
OOC: You can consider Long Haul out of this thread. Jazz and Arcee can race off together towards Autobase.

"Hey, wait for me!"
Arcee transforms and follows after Jazz. Her own repair skills are marginal at best, more like slapping a band-aid on someone, so maybe she can be of more use elsewhere.
