Poke poke poke

[system_dp]

Who: Miria and anyone who wants to poke her.
What: Robot girl is doing stuff I guess.
Where: Most likely near a terminal that's been fixed???
When: Now. B|
Warnings: None, yet.

Anyone who spotted her would either see a small red and white jet, which is when she's flying around and trying to scout out this weird planet. Or, the rare times she's not airborne, a short robot with jet-kibble and very human looking bits that aren't covered by the armor.

Which actually, at this moment that's what anyone will see. A barely ten foot tall robot poking at one of the terminals that remain and seeming to be completely focused on it. Only not really, as any slight sound or movement gets a quick response from her, a laser cannon on her one arm ending up pointed in the direction before she resumes her terminal poking.

Ka-click, even though Pipes is doing his best to look non-threatening? Miria has a weapon trained on him before he finishes speaking. And wow, a question.

What is with the weird metal beings asking questions? At least this one is closer to her size.

"This Unit is functioning, and is warning you to not attempt any hostilities. Unless you wish for this Unit to fire upon you."

Aw, she's giving Pipes a warning. How nice!

[planate]

He's probably not as worried as he should be. After all, he knows he's not actually a threat and won't retaliate unless Miria does and even them he'd attempt to knock her out and take her to the medibay.

"I haven't come with any hostile intent."

Pipes actually holds his hands up instead, attempting to show he has no violent inclinations at all, "Just looking around, is all."

[system_dp]

And she lowers the weapon. No point in fighting something that isn't attacking, her programming at least covers that.

Also Pipes isn't a gold colored douchebag, so she can relax. Or at least come as close to it as she can, which is just her turning back to her poking at the terminal she had found.

"As long as you do not attack this Unit you may do as you please." Bored, bland monotoned response.

[planate]

"Is Unit your name?"

Sorry, buddy, he's not gonna let you off the hook just yet.

[system_dp]

Enjoy a long few moments of no response from her, as she seems more focused on what she's doing above conversation.

"... This Unit has been called Miria before," a pause. "What should this Unit use to address you?"

[planate]

"Pipes! You're not Cybertronian, are you?"

It's KINDA OBVIOUS.

[system_dp]

"Cybertronian?"

Oh look, Pipes. That question actually got Miria to stop what she's doing and... Well it looks like she's blankly staring into space for a moment before she continues speaking.

"This Unit does not have any information on 'Cybertronian' in it's database," she says as she finally turns her attention solely on Pipes now. "What is a 'Cybertronian', Pipes?"

Hi, she is from a place that never got fucked over by giant shit baby robots.

[planate]

He taps his foot on the ground. "This is a Cybertron," Then points at himself, "And this is a Cybertronian."

[system_dp]

"An alien planet then."

She frowns, just for a moment before she moves to get closer to Pipes and...

She is going to poke him. On the face. With the hand she hadn't used to pull a weapon on him earlier, which is the one on the arm that is nicely dented from her encounter with a Prime.

[planate]

He lets her. Pipes has no issues with this, considering poking in the face is a step down from being shot in the face.

"Do you need to see a medic?"

[system_dp]

"... Medical assistance is only required for injured humans," Miria replies, before poking Pipes one last time.

"This Unit is not injured, the large gold colored creature was a minor threat."

[planate]

"I don't see any humans around here, just another mech with a dent in her arm."

A beat.

"What large gold creature? I didn't realise there were actually threats around..."

[system_dp]

"This Unit is still within functional ranges." Aka it's just a dent man.

At the question of Sentinel and actual threats, Miria frowns again.

"It is not a threat, unless it decides to become one." A quick pause and then...

Hope Pipes enjoys a very detailed description of one Gold Asshole, Sentinel Prime.

[planate]

Still, though!!

"If you're sure. The offer still stands if you change your mind." The 'frowns' at the description, though. "I haven't seen anyone like that around but I'll keep an optic out."

[system_dp]

"Why would this Unit change it's mind?" Sorry, Pipes you said something she doesn't understand so she's tilted her head to the side as she asks that.

And she'll add at him offering to keep an optic out for Sentinel.

"This Unit would suggest you do not engage it, Pipes. You do not appear to be built for heavy combat."

[planate]

Aww that's cute awwwww

"I wasn't planning to get into any fights. Thanks, though."

[system_dp]

Not cute, she's blown up a planet before. So not cute!

And another poke.

"That is... good?" A pause. "If Pipes does end up requiring combat assistance then this Unit will come to assist."

In other words Pipes, you now have a friend. A very weird friend.

[planate]

Good. Good, just as planned.

"I'll definitely give you a call"

He crosses his arms, gesturing to the terminal Miria was previously poking, "D'you need any help with that?"

[system_dp]

Just going to tilt her head before, oh right. The terminal. She turns her attention back to it.

"This Unit would not refuse assistance."

That's a yes, Pipes.

[planate]

"Alright. How far have you gotten?"

Not that he's much of a tech genius but WHATEVER he learned him a thing or two from Roller.

[system_dp]

Oh boy. Best be ready Pipes, because Miria is quickly rattling off everything she has tried so far. In the most technical terms ever. It may take a while if she's not interrupted.

But really it all comes down to 'Not very far'.

[planate]

"Maybe we can try replacing some parts, I did that with someone else in a different area earlier..."

[system_dp]

"If Pipes thinks that is the solution."

Too bad Miria is more about shooting shit then fixing it.

[planate]

"I'm not a repairman, I mean it might be. Only really one way to find out!"

[system_dp]

"... This Unit is made for combat, so it is more likely that Pipes is better equipped for repairs."

But hey, she'll move out of the way so Pipes can check the terminal out. And hey, it looks like it's one that has been fixed???

So what's the issue, Pipes.
