Supreme Orientation

[Omega Supreme]

Omega Supreme just snorts at Nightbeat's gaff.

Long Haul's always liked the idea of adventure; never wanted to be a hauler. Omega Supreme remembers that. It's one of the oddly endearing things about Long Haul, to see him excited about exploration rather than war.

He suggests, "Lounge: first." Omega Supreme's bad with social interactions, but Long Haul is also really obvious with how he feels.

[Nightbeat]

Clearly a city defender needs a space travel mode for when the city needs to borrow a cup of sugar from the next planet over. Or to hunt down architects when everything goes horribly wrong forever.

Omega snorting is better than Omega going into a fit of depression at not being big enough to take care of people anymore, in Nightbeat's opinion.

The detective just shrugs at Omega's insistence on seeing the lounge. "Works for me."

[Long Haul]

Long Haul brightens, standing straighter as Omega mentions wanting to see the lounge. For someone who doesn't have a proper face, he really is quite easy to read.

"Great! Well, it's not far from here... just down a level, really," he says, leading the way.

Once they arrive, they'll hind that Long Haul is, indeed, correct: it's more or less the same view as the bridge, but with more screens to give it a 'wrap around window' effect. There is room on the far wall for controls, allowing someone to switch to the aft view, the side views, or even just TV or a movie, and an energon dispenser, although the dispenser, of course, is tied into the rations system. In the center of the room there are also a number of chairs and couches of varying sizes, an attempt to accommodate the variety among the Autobots and Maximals.

[Omega Supreme]

Omega Supreme, by the way, would make an awesome defender of a space city. He's just made that a new life goal for when he gets home. Convince Grapple to build him a space city. Guard it. Make sure Grapple doesn't turn evil.

Omega Supreme looks around the lounge, claw hand on his hip. He looks relatively peaceful. Nice and quiet, great view... is anyone else here?

[Skyfire]

A certain tall white shuttle-former stands near the viewscreen, apparently admiring the view. Skyfire turns as Long Haul and Omega Supreme enter, and says "Hello, Long Haul! Omega Supreme." He nods in greeting, and continues, "Good to see you up and about; Perceptor did some good work with your rebuild."

Skyfire is sufficiently intelligent to not make out-loud comparisons between Perceptor's rebuild of Omega Supreme and Hook's rebuild of Midnight, though he can't help but be impressed. Perceptor is just as skilled as Hook, it seems.

[Nightbeat]

Nightbeat follows Long Haul and Omega Supreme into the lounge, raising a hand and greeting Skyfire when he sees him.

"Hey, Skyfire. We're just giving Omega the grand tour."

[Long Haul]

Long Haul trundles right towards one of the view screens. "Hey, Skyfire," he murmurs as he walks right past the taller Autobot. He stands up on his dump-truck bed toes and peers out at the planet visible from where they're presently docked.

"Place don't look so bad from up here," he murmurs.

[Omega Supreme]

The only experience Omega Supreme has had with Pz-Zazz is that he crashed into it, and then they couldn't find all his pieces. It is, really, not as bad an experience as some have had, and he could have had it on any planet.

Omega Supreme greets his fellow space-farer with a nod. He paces closer to one of the 'windows', getting close to it without touching. Then he looks over at the assortment of couches and over at Long Haul for a moment. Omega Supreme shrugs off the thought, and he explains, "Comrades: helpful. Tour: commenced."

[Skyfire]

"So I see," Skyfire replied to Nightbeat.

"Indeed, it does not--but planets seldom flaunt their dangers from this altitude," Skyfire noted. "Even weather, which one would expect to see from orbit, can turn suddenly bad when you're down amidst it."

Skyfire nodded to Omega Supreme. "That's good. Have you seen the Biosphere yet?"

'

[Nightbeat]

"Yeah, it doesn't look so bad from up here. Even from on the surface, the smog makes for pretty sunsets. Looks can be deceiving," the detective replies. "It's not a nice planet. You've gotta have street smarts or Pz-Zazz'll eat you alive."

[Long Haul]

"Eh, it's not too bad," Long Haul says, shrugging. "You just gotta be careful, is all." Of course, it's worth keeping in mind that Long Haul is a person who tends to go to bars with the likes of Bonecrusher and Mixmaster. Even in peace time, even before the Robo-smasher, it's not like the Caretakers of Crystal City always kept to the nice neighborhoods in their off time.

They are construction workers, after all.

He glances up at Skyfire. "Ain't got to the biodome yet. Still got the training room and medical to go first. We're just doing a quick stop over here. For the view, you know?"

[Omega Supreme]

Omega Supreme shakes his head. No, he hasn't been to the biodome yet. Maybe there'll be a nice green hill in the biosphere that Botanica will let him sit on. Omega Supreme likes sitting on green hills, but then people always come pester him about his backstory while he's trying to chill out.

He has little to say on whether or not Pz-Zazz is a nice planet or the perils of weather. All he has to say is, "View: worthwhile."

[Skyfire]

Skyfire nods at Nightbeat again. "I've noticed that; been groundside a few times myself. It's a good place to make contacts, though--a lot of beings travel through, thanks to the, ah, very free market here. I've picked up some potentially useful information about stellar systems to avoid and beings to watch out for in the nearby interstellar neighborhood."

"It is a nice view," Skyfire acknowledged. "I like to stop here sometimes when I'm off watch, unless the Emirate has had me out doing orbital surveys."

[Nightbeat]

Long Haul had better be careful planetside. Nightbeat has no doubt that Hook and Mixmaster would love to go bar-hopping with him again, after a quick trip to Ship to screw with his processor.

"The biosphere's nice. Don't step off the path, though, unless you want to see Botanica pissed." Really, Nightbeat prefers the hustle and bustle of a city to the utter quiet of the biosphere. Not having the background noise just feels wrong. Of course, one can always have too much noise as well. Color him picky.

The detective smirks up at the shuttleformer. "Free market is right. Lookin' on the bright side much, Skyfire?"

[Long Haul]

Long Haul fairly beams when Omega declares the view to be worthwhile, bouncing up slightly on the front tips of his feet. "Anything interestin' on those, erm, orbital surveys?" the Constructibot asks Skyfire, keenly interested.
