Clearly, Hook must win Oil Slick over with a deranged mad science party where everyone wakes up with a superweapon and no one knows what it does and plasma arc reactors end up in inconvenient places.
Seeing that Tarantulas looks a bit peckish, Hook comments blandly, "Duskwing, fetch Tarantulas a sandwich. I do believe I saw a C.M.O.T. cart just outside the junkyard." He peers at Tarantulas, adding, "I've seen the specifications for your fuel processing system. You've eaten worse."
"Now, as for your actual work... that wouldn't fool anyone. On the other hand, I won't have to ask Shockwave to blow it up... will I?" Hook peers at the armature suspiciously.
Then he stares at the baby Blackrachnia has created, snorts, and asks, "Did you have to build an Autobot baby?" Blue eyes. Fashion faux pas. "Hmm, not very good for replacing senators, I suppose, but I didn't specify the age range."
He sighs and rubs his temples. "I think conclusion is foregone. Tarantulas, you get a sandwich. Blackarachnia, you're second in command."

"Stop! In the name of love!" Screwdriver sings out. "It's last minute gift time!"
Before she can even be seen, a fashion doll, scaled to Transformers (and therefore about human sized) dressed up like a princess drives a pink plastic car into the area. The doll turns the car wheel, making a left. Then she makes another left, then another, driving in a little box.
Although the entire affair wouldn't set off a metal detector, there is no way this thing could fool other sensors. However, it can pass the Turning test.
She is also explosive it set near open flames.
Screwdriver then cartwheels into the area, lands in a split (a move that separates her lower leg from her body, though she takes no notice), and calls out, "Taa-dah!"

When Screwdriver returns, Needlenose just... stares for a moment. Then he covers his face with the palm of his hand and sighs.

Duskwing nods slowly. "A sandwich, huh? On it, boss," he says, and then throws a sloppy salute before starting to shamble off. He stopped to stare at Screwdriver's Barbie car and doll. Is that car big enough for Mistwind?
"Huh." The dark blue and purple Seeker wanted to ask Screwdriver more questions, but Hook had set him on a Task, and if he didn't complete in time he wouldn't get his Brownie Points. Or something like that. He turned and headed for the outer gate, and the C.M.O.T. cart. At least he understood how to deal with those types.

A sandwich is a decent enough consolation prize, Tarantulas supposes. Or it will be, once he picks off all the troublesome bread and condiments. It's a C.M.O.T. stand, so there ought to be something in it that's still alive.
He doesn't get a private lab, though. The spider mutters imprecations to himself. He'll have to keep resorting to the air ducts when he wants alone time on Ship.
Tarantulas really doesn't know what to make of Screwdriver or her entry into the competition. Half his optic band widens in a puzzled expression. "And they call me crazy."

She smiles. Blackarachnia doesn't particularly want the hassle involved in doing the job of second, but the perks are worth the hassle,
Private labs are lovely things, oh yes.
She inclines her head slightly at Hook. Now the games can truly begin, yes?
Looks like thread wrap?

Hook stares at Screwdriver for a very, very long moment. Then he lets his forehead thud against the judging table.
Gnn. Why does he even wake from his recharge, some days?
Then he straightens out, narrows his optical band, and shoots a thin look over at Blackarachnia.
I vote we end on Tarantulas getting his sandwich.

Screwdriver jumps up excitedly and claps her hands. "And they all lived happily until they died!" she declares.
The car probably is the right size for Mistwind to drive, but you'd have to get the exploding Barbie out of it first.
OOC: I'm good for sandwich ending. Needlenose will not be posting this round.

After some ranting and arm-waving outside the gate ("No, I do not want green eggs and ham. I do not want green eggs and ham on a kebob. I do not want green eggs and ham in a wrap. I do not want green eggs and ham at all!"), Duskwing comes back in, carrying a small, paper-wrapped package.
"Yo, Tarantulas. Your sammich." Duskwing reaches down to the spider. Something like grease leaks from one corner of the package. "Couldn't get him to leave out da green ham, but got him to throw some other stuff and some fuel oil on the mix."
Will Tarantulas take the package? What kind of sandwich is it? Why is the ham green? What is "other stuff"? Do we want to know?

Tarantulas takes the package and opens it, shaking the bag hopefully to see if it moves. It doesn't. Then the scent of it reaches his olfactory sensors. "Oh joy. Hot bacterial culture inna bun. Just what I always wanted. You have my everlasting gratitude."
It seems Duskwing has actually discovered a meal Tarantulas will turn down.
OOC: Wrap?
