Shattered Blaster reawakens. (open)
Slowly, Blaster comes out of recharge, red optics dim as he slowly takes in his surroundings. He hasn’t been in this room before. He slowly rises out of his berth, ghosting his claws over the surface as he stands with a sharp denta-ed scowl on his face. “So I see me counterpart has moved bases. This could be fortunate or bothersome. For now I should learn about mein surroundings.”
Slowly that scowl turns to a wicked smirk as the brown mech stands to investigate the base. Ultimately he winds up outside, silently moving through the surrounding forest.
Having access to a rather... experimental mode of transportation oftentimes had it's benefits. One of the many, of course, meant that Draglink could travel over long distances without much effort, or time consumption. Whether it had been his own idea or some other, now forgotten scientist's to combine the flying capabilities of a small cruiser, and a somewhat unstable in-between cross of ground and space bridging technologies, it didn't matter. It had only malfunctioned a few times, and the Decepticon had survived each of the blasts.
This trip, to a rather forested portion of Earth, was one meant to do nothing more than gain a few samples of the leafy flora for testing- he'd heard rumors that some of them could be altered into a consumable state, and looked to improve on the previous formula. While busy in his gatherings, one thing he hadn't expected to stumble across would be a fellow Cybertronian. As it was, he was a bit too preoccupied to notice the other moving about nearby.
You say that as though you regret it. If it was a one time thing, then why bother fretting over it now?
That sounded almost as if you’re attempting to challenge me. Or my bank account, which unfortunately can barely handle a few of my more pricey addictions as it is. Fine. I’ll settle for being a brewing stand instead. You delivering today, or am I going to have to come join you?
I dunno if I regret it but it surely wasnt what I expected. Not that I suddenly wouldn’t like something else rather similar right this very moment but we wont talk ‘bout that now.
Challenge ya? Mebbe I am. We were at yer place the last time. Why not come to mine? Has an amazin view late at night. Could be good fer when business is all done. Attachin the coordinates now.
So says the one who drugged me. Oh, but you're the one who just now brought it up! Whatever happened to that 'no relations with the customer' rule you're so very fond of?
Fishing for credits as usual. Your place? Sounds fine- send me the coordinates so long as you don't mind me spoiling that wonderful view by talking your audio off.
#draglink#come get overcharged#or high#how bout both
Comeon, Trin- you know better than to use me for mixing your goods! You do recall what happened last time you used me to experiment.
It was a one time thing. I’m not gonna be that dumb again. So yes yes hmm I have somethin else ya might like then. But it’s really difficult to make so super expensive. Not sure ya can handle it, or afford it.

That other “merry = x-mas” post inspired me to make my own, so here ya go - Happy New Year!
(Sorry for the horrible hand writing, still getting used to using a white board)

Heh, you wanna play with me huh? I don’t see ya over here to do that. Wanna try some of my new stuff? Got some copper shavings in it and a few special extras.

Wheeljack… which one was that again? There were certainly enough Autobots about that he got them confused with one another quite a bit. Rather than asking to be sure he was thinking of the correct one, he instead decides to continue listening, hoping that she’ll unwittingly give him some clue. ”Projects? I haven’t really had my attention set on any one particular one… though I can tell you it’s certainly not been anything as complex as that targeting system you heard of.” A flick of the winglets, soon followed by a shrug would cause him to pause. “For the most part I’ve been playing with a few new… toys.”
"I know some engineers like to juggle more than once, so—oh! Nevermind. Ah, what do you mean by toys? What do you have? Just figuring out the possibilities with them, or…?"
Seeing how she had cut her initial sentence off, he decides to let the subject drop, instead moving on to her question. "That about sums it up. " He laughs, doorwings twitching up in a 'shrug.' "Letting the machinery do it's thing, trying to see if anything will come to me. If not, oh well- provided some entertainment either way."

World’s First Solar Sidewalk Installed At George Washington University
Just in case those little solar-powered garden lights are not cool enough for you: The George Washington University has installed a 100-square-foot stretch of walkway that’s covered entirely in solar panels. In a year, the solar sidewalk should make about 470 kilowatt-hours of electricity, according to numbers from Onyx Solar, the walkway’s maker. That electricity will power the 450 LED lights inside the panels that will light the walk at night.
This is “the first installation of walkable solar paneled sidewalk in the world,” the university’s senior land use planner, Eric Selbst, said in a statement.
What makes a solar panel walkable is that it’s non-slip and is able to withstand weather and foot traffic. This particular walkway will see students on their way between Exploration and Innovation Halls on campus.
The walkway also includes a solar panel-covered trellis, which The George Washington University installed last year. Electricity from the trellis feeds into Innovation Hall, Solar Reviews reports.
[The George Was
And in other news, alien technology is taking a step forwards.
I'd say I'm proud, if it weren't for the fact that every time I've so much as attempted to work with one of their solar panels, I've had it shatter.
Drag Link has made contact
She’d earn a slight helm tilt here, paired with an amused hum. “None of the above count?” He replies, taking this moment to consider the clutter strewn about his workshop. “I specialize in electrical engineering, though I’ve played about with quite a few other subjects, namely those that seem interesting at the time.” He wouldn’t mind at all the fact that she could quite possibly become confused rather quickly. He may in fact see it as a challenge to at least get her to understand some basic concepts.
"An engineer? Like Wheeljack, then?" Yeah, that makes sense. They both have that sense of excitement about them. She just hopes Drag doesn’t have the same knack for blowing things up. "What projects are you working on right now? ‘Cause I know this genius from a post-war universe who’s working on a gun with a unique targeting mechanism that uses spark resonance…Well, you’d probably understand all that better than I would."
