Blackarachnia just smiles a bit wider as Cannonball throws a snit, and she withdraws her arm. "Your buttons are entirely to easy to push, Captain," she says with a chuckle, "And I haven't met Hook yet."
In fact, she's avoiding the Head of Medical at all costs. She imagines he was not thrilled that the Mayhems agreed to keep her physical locked. At all.
She looks at Blitzwing now, and perhaps her smile is a shade less friendly than previous. "You know, I have been on the ship for more than a few days, and while I haven't met everyone yet, I have been interviewed and shown the places of interest. I believe I fall under the big black truck's purview.
This may be true. Or she could be lying. Depends on if something happens between now and Day 30 to counteract her statement.
"And, Blitzwing-who-is-perhaps-only-marginally-less-crazy-than-my-own, I do not believe your name is among those who can direct me anywhere."
As she's been talking, she has been shifting her position slightly, and suddenly, she moves to straddle Cannonball's lap. She cups his chin, digging her nails in a bit for emphasis. "And my name Is. Not. Wench."
If Shortround wasn't scared of her now, he might be shortly.

Cannonball scowls a bit at the spider. "Bah. Not easy to push, you just 'ad the misfortune to find the biggest one by accident." The fact that he makes it mind-numbingly obvious with the way he speaks does not cross the pirate's mind.
However...
Now Cannonball finds him in an awkward position. This woman's grating on some nerves, and teasing others. It's positively maddening. She's on his lap, but giving him a jab with her claws. It's certainly an odd situation. However... Cannonball enjoys it. Butting heads can be fun, especially if making up follows it. He offers her an (attempted) smooth grin, reaching his hand behind, and resting it on her backside. Or he tries to. He may wind up with a handful of spider abdomen. "Hehehe... Yer certainly sassy. Perhaps we were gettin' off on th' wrong foot," he says, smirking.

So, just a cube for him then. We'll see if being nice to Blackarachnia ever crosses his mind again.
"Your under command of Scourge? Good luck to you then." BLitzwing says as he takes his cube and sits back down again and picks up his book. With nay luck those two won't et too loud and annoying.
What Blitzwing needs, and perhaps wants, is a fez. It would broadcast so neatly to all those around that he is busy and not to be disturbed. Especially if he has a little turret fixed to the top that tracks people who get too close.

See this? This is Shortround being frozen between his usual cowardice, and his desire to show off and possibly get a girlfriend out of this female.
Cowardice wins out, however, and Shortround does not attempt to shoot Cannonball with a poorly aimed plasma round. Not to mention he does not want a repeat of the Lugnut incident. And then Blackarachnia moves on Cannonball, and he continues annoying her.
Shortround just watches in general silence as he waits for whatever punishment this spider will dish out on Cannonball, looking at the pirate with a look of pity.

Perhaps if Blitzwing did not come off as if he were talking down to Blackarachnia, she would have been more inclined to be polite.
Her claws dig a shade deeper into Cannonball's jaw, and she's about to snap back at him when she feels that hand slider over the curve of her bestle. It seems the pirate wasn't paying attention to the fact that Blackarachnia got back. She stiffens, ever so slightly.
"Oh, I think we're getting along famously," she purrs darkly, "In fact, I think I wish to get a bit more...up close and personal! That last is hissed out and her stingers jab forward and into Cannonball's shoulders.
Say goodnight, Gracie.

Good night, Gracie! Cannonball was not aware that there was that much booty to plunder!
It was all going well, until he felt the sting in his shoulders. Systems freak out, everything starts to go red, and his energy level goes down, down, down... He cries out in pain, twitching slightly.
Yes, it was all going well. Then it got better! "Ach-ch-ch! Th-that rough on..." he starts, his speech slurring as he wobbles. "..on th'...first...date..." He's not able to finish his sentence, stasis-locking as he falls forward, face smacking into Blackarachnia's chest.
A lech to the end, this one.

Blitzwing isn't particularly startled when Blackarachnia stabs Cannonball, and merely puts his cube down on a table so that he can lazily get his gyro blaster from subspace.
"So, now that you've knocked him out, or perhaps killed him, what are you going to do?" Blitzwing asks as he sets the blaster to to its non lethal destabilizer mode before tossing the gun to Shortround, who hopefully catches it and doesn't drop it. Any dents hall be fixed before it gets returned.
Blitziwing knows Shortround is panicky. He also knows Shortround is prone to fill the air with badly or not at all aimed plasma, so Blitzwing hopes that giving him a weapon with lightly less dangerous abilities will forestall the plasma as Blitzwing finds out what Balcarachnia plans to do with Cannonballl.
Perhaps he can help.

Shortround stares as Blackarachnia does... Something. He has no idea what just happened, except that Cannonball is now offline, and it was some sort of weapon from her shoulders. And usually, this would be around the time that he runs panicking to a safe part of the ship, as far away from Blackarachnias as possible.
Except that then Blitzwing throws him a gun, which he fumbles a bit before managing to hold, pointing it towards the ground so as to not look too threatening. And now, thanks to this, Shortround believes the triple changer is wanting Shortround to serve as some sort of backup in case trouble happens.
Instead, Shortround just stares in terror and fear at Blackarachnia, hoping he won't actually have to fire the gun. Or call on his Cyber Key, which would be much, much worse, given the situation.

Blackarachnia scowls down at the pirate in her cleavage. She then carefully disentangles herself from Cannonball.
"Mmm, depends," she answers Blitzwing, "Let's see what I got from him."
She tries to access the upgrade she stole from Cannonball, and is quite startled when there is a flash of blue light and a key comes out of nowhere and slots into her lower back. Then twin guns pop up over her shoulders.
"Well, that was unexpected, and felt decidedly uncomfortable," she drawls. "Mmmm, tempting as it is to test this out on him, I imagine it isn't exactly the best thing to go shooting about in a spaceship."
"What do you boys think, hmmm?"

"We could drag him to the sim room, tie him up and then use him as target practice. We get to shoot him and we don't have to explain to Hook why Cannonball is damaged." Blitzwing offers helpfully. He wants to shoot a helpless Cannonball just as much as anyone else. He'll save his suggestion of putting Cannonball through a 'most dangerous game' scenario till later.
"Can you do that to anyone?" He also asks her. He hopes she'll figure out that he means stealing upgrades on the fly and not poisoning people.

Speaking of Cyber Keys, Blackarachnia somehow manages to pull one off! Shortround's fear is replaced by surprise as the key shows up, and she somehow grows guns.
"Okay, that is kinda cool" he says, standing a bit more upright now that it seems like there'll be less chance of a firefight developing.

Once Blackarachnia removes herself from the pirate, gravity toys with him and causes him to get a bit intimate with the floor.
However, Cannonball is a tough one - and by the time his assailant is trying out her new toys, Cannonball stirs once more, groaning as he attempts to sit up, though finding it difficult. His motor functions are having a royal glitchfit, as are his stability subroutines and his optics. His vocalizer is slurring things, but otherwise is still functional.
"Mnuh...thah all ye got, lass? Ah've had bad fuel thut did me in worse'r thun thah..." One hand grabs at the couch he was on, finding purchase and he attempts to pull himself up. Though, his grip slips, and he crashes into the floor again. "Ahhhnnng..."

"So far as I know," she answers Bitzwing, then shrugs, "I imagine if you don't have anything worth taking, I won't get anything from you."
Then Cannonball stirs. She gives the pirate a good kick in the aft, and when he falls again, she plants her heeled foot hard in the middle of his chest.
"Though apparently, I pulled the poison dosage back a bit too much. He should have been out for several more minutes." Which means she'll simply have to do some experiments to see how much poison is needed for these different reality mechs.
"So," the guns retract as if they never existed, "What's up with the light show, pirate boy?"
She doesn't know Shortround can answer her question.

"Its certainly not the best way to advertise you've just magicked weapons out of nowhere." Blitzwing says as he moves closer to Cannonball. He doesn't think Shortround could answer his way out of a paper bag, so he certainly doesn't expect him to know anything about this.
"So, do you only take physical qualities? Could you, say, take Starscreams melodious voice or perhaps his ability to creatively interpret Decepticon rank structure?" Blitzwing asks as he looks at the downed pirate. Yes, Yes, its a bad idea to speak ill about Starscream. Blitzwing is willing to take the risk Starscream is in fact standing right behind him.

Shortround looks around before answering, making sure to see if Cannonball has somehow managed to get up enough to answer for himself.
Well, he hasn't. So Shortround sighs, and begins an explanation. "Its uh... A Cyber Key. They're parts of Primus' spark or some nonsense, according to the Autobots. We upgraded to them after we found out about them, but it turned out Transformers on other planets had been using them for cycles before we knew about them..."
