It was a sight Slider thought he could get used. First Starscream and now this crazy, immortal… He really wasn’t sure who or what the other one was. The point was that she was turning tail to chase her space bourn head. It was a nice change of pace from the invincible, advancing Decepticon hordes he was used to.
Then Clipper had to step in front of his line of fire. Slider couldn’t stop himself before a last burst of his rifle streaked towards her.

Farlane glances over at the clusterfrag as he quickly makes he way over to Rev’s prone form. Sounded like a real party over there and of course Xaaron just tossed someone’s head out. The pink car cycles his optics in a blink.
Oh, hey, headless Junkion body with fairy wings. That... actually, Farlane felt like he should’ve expected that.
Shaking his head, he turns back to Rev, reaching over to check for vital signs and trying to remember if her universe turned grey when dead as well. She’d only lost her legs, but maybe these Velocitronians had important stuff down there? She was out cold either way.

OOC: Skipping Scrapper due to timeout. He can resume posting and assume a new order in the rotation.
Screwdriver is thrown away! Or escapes. Something! Maybe they can finally evacuate this section.
//Oh, that's a woman? Sorry, Clipper, I-// Emirate Xaaron replies absently. He cuts himself off as Clipper starts acting like a marionette, right into the path of Slider's bullets!
Oh, if only they had someone fast enough to pick bullets out of the air! Emirate Xaaron tries to sprint over to help Clipper, but he stumbles over a cricket and ends up leaving a silver and gold skidmark on the floor. Besides, trying to outrun bullets would just be silly. Poor thinking on his part.

As Screwdriver activates her fairy wings to reclaim her lost head, Scrapper blinks his optics twice. "This...has been one long day," he muttered, before Clipper's movement catches his eye as she makes her way in front of Slider's line of fire. No way is Scrapper fast enough to make it to either of them in time, so all he can do is watch until someone can stop anything terrible from happening.

OOC: Switching places in rotation with Clipper by player okay.
Grabbing for Clipper the marionette will certainly save her from those solid rounds winging her way, but it won't help the bridge or anyone nearby if they ricochet instead of penetrating. And having them penetrate isn't any good, either. Blurr goes over all the options he can think of – and they are manifold – before he does what seems the most reasonable thing to do in this case. And if you think catching bullets is an outrageous idea, you don't want to know what Blurr discarded as too unreasonable!
One moment, the rounds are in the air; the next, Blurr has a handful of bullets and he makes a show of wiping the nonexistent sweat from his forehead with his free hand.
"Could've been messy!" he says without having to feign his relief. He looks to Clipper again. "…Really messy." There isn't much of her to get scattered all over the bridge, but it would likely scatter well if hit by these things.
She'd be cute if she was, y'know, flesh and blood.
I think she's with that other Micromaster, the one who isn't Stakeout even though he kind of looks like Stakeout. Holi. What an odd name, Holi. Stakeout makes more sense.
Yeah, yeah. Clearly, thinks Blurr, his partner already misses the other Nebulans he found on Pz-Zazz. Blurr has someone he'll miss, too, for that matter. Hopefully, she got that video message he sent her.

She... is going to die. There is no way that Clipper can survive being hit by all those projectiles. Holi is going to kill her! And then probably kill Slider, even though it wasn't his fault.
If only she could move, but those weird things on her wrists are controlling her like a puppet, and all Clipper can see is that burst of gunfire, and there's no way she can get out of the way, and no one is close enough to help, and she's going to die, and--
And nothing hits her.
Blurr is suddenly just there, and the bullets are gone-- No, they're in his hands, and all that before the last little curls of smoke from their casings have dispersed! Clipper would kiss him, right on the cheek...
If she could move yet.

Even if Slider could have slowed down the action before him, he doubted that he'd still be able to make out exactly what happened. All Slider knew was that Blurr certainly lived up to his name. Only a HUD warning about sealed intake valves alerted Slider that he was standing just as ramrod still as Clipper.
"Freaking pit..." was all he could manage to say to concerning his amazement and growing worry that something was really wrong with Clipper.

“....” Farlane stares at Blurr, then Clipper, then everyone else, having frozen in the middle of picking Rev up. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
What just happened?

"Blurr," Emirate Xaaron answers Farlane.
He tries to hobble over to Clipper's side - ow, that missile injury does hurt - and drop to his knees to try to pry off one of the strange things around her wrist. Emirate Xaaron warns, "This may hurt, but if it takes off your hand, I am certain we'll be able to put it back on as good as new."
That, or Clipper will decide to go completely metal and get her hand replaced with a gun or a harpoon or something.
OOC: Screwdriver's player said that the bonds can come off without harm if someone puts some effort into it, so Clipper can pose the thing coming off harmless on her pose.

OOC: Skipping Scrapper due to timeout.
Blurr shakes the hand holding the still-smoking rounds; his palm tingles a little from the impacts even though he compensated for the momentum.
"Everyone okay?" he asks, watching Xaaron move to Clipper's aid. He pulls a face. "Sir, we don't know if those blow up! What if they blow up? If they explode then you'll both be hurt!" Maybe Blurr could do it. He's fast enough to take them off and toss them, he's sure. But Xaaron's already working on it and Blurr fidgets.

It feels as if her paint is peeling off with the disks, but they each finally pry off in turn, leaving her hand behind. Clipper heaves a huge, shuddering sigh of relief as she, finally able to move, drops to her knees and shakes.
She'd really thought she was going to die there for way too long a moment.
"I'm okay. I'm okay," she murmurs softly, trying to convince herself as much as anything else.

"I'm sorry," Slider whispers as he moves to help Clipper back up, "I"m really sorry."
He notices his hands shaking as he reaches out to her. Frankly his nerves are fried as well. He does kn ow, however, that they have to get out of there right now, before they get ejected into space with what's left of the bridge.
OOC: Fade?

“So, like, are we gonna haul aft outta here?” the pink car asks carefully after a moment more of staring. “Because I think we should get to that, maybe.” Then Farlane is partially distracted by the gruesome task of picking up and subspacing Rev’s legs. Yeaaaaah. Not his cube of energon, but it needed to be done, if only to make the medics’ lives easier.
OOC: Fade is fine!

"I'll have medical analyse these, Clipper." He waves the puppeteer clamps. "Maybe we can work up a better countermeasure," Emirate Xaaron assures. He tries to give Clipper a quick pat to make sure she'll be all right - did he ever show his own Micromasters an ounce as much affection? - and then he straightens painfully. That missile wound to his back is going to be such a bother.
"Blurr, give Slider his rounds back." Maybe Slider can put them back into a cartridge? Probably not, but it's worth it to check. Bullets are expensive!
"Everyone out. Gather the wounded when you see them," he finishes ordering. That said, he moves to stumble off towards medical and do that 'evacuation' thing he was talking about prior.
OOC: Fine with a fade!
