Not My Jurisdiction, Mech

Name's Striker Officer Striker if you're any kind of trouble~ To keep things simple, I'm a handsome fragger, highly intelligent, and one of the best Praxus has to offer. Only makes sense the best would protect the best. New to the blogging thing, but what's so hard bout talking on a human website? Chat me up if you want, I love meeting new mechs. Just know, you cause trouble in my town and I'll show you why they call me Striker. Here's a hint: it's not cause of my striking good looks. [[ Indie TF OC rp blog ]]

Sure, it’ll make the time pass faster. Decepticons got it in their head that it’d be smart to take down one of these huge power plants humans use. Long story short, we engaged them and fought. It’s mostly patched up now, but my jetpack was ripped off along with some plating thanks to a slaggin’ semi named Motormaster.

Still waitin’ for it to get fixed… -Sideswipe honestly sounds more upset with the loss of his jetpack than being wounded in the first place.-

//Despite being aware of Earth and its inhabitants, Striker hadn't considered the disadvantage to the humans with an alien race continuing their war on this other planet. Honestly, the enforcer had been too concerned over the fact that Circuitbreaker, Bluestreak, and Sideswipe's Cybertron was no longer able to sustain life. Hearing the red plated soldier detail the incident with the power plant just puts the idea into place that this war now affects more than just Cybertronians.

It's not too surprising now that he's thinking about it. If Earth is their new home and they intend to protect it, then they have to protect the life that originally came from there as well. 

The Praxian does however snort over the comm at how upset Sideswipe sounds about his jetpack.//

You mean the Autobots trust you with one of those? //Teasing, of course.//  What other kind of gadgets you messing with over there?

residentredlambo replied to your post:Hey mech how's it goin'?

In the same boat. A back rub would be slaggin’ perfect right about now after what just went down.

//Now that had him curious. Not that Sideswipe contacting him wasn't attention grabbing enough. Betastrike was more than aware of the soldier's current situation concerning the war but he had yet to actually hear of the daily events that unfolded there; at least from Sideswipe's perspective.//

Yea? Feel like sharing?

[strike-and-enforce]

Hey mech how's it goin'?

Needing a vacation and a backrub but not too fraggin' bad overall. You?

[strike-and-enforce]

Greetings Betastrike, it has been a while since we've last conversed. How are you doing?

Hey there Circuitbreaker. You're right, it has been some time. I hadn't intended on going so long without contacting you. My apologies; things have been rather hectic on my end. 

As for how I am, I'm well. How about you?

[strike-and-enforce]

Not necessarily.

An interest means my curiosity is piqued. Whether I come to “like” or dislike this something, well…that would require further investigating.~

[residentredlambo]

You don’t say. Well, like the stand up citizen I am, I give you full permission to check away. -Sideswipe is anything but a true stand up citizen. He enjoys his pranks and mischief far, far too much.-

[strike-and-enforce]

Do you now? Well, aren't you a fine example of a mech? //Emphasis on the word fine. //

[residentredlambo]

See somethin’ you like?

[strike-and-enforce]

I see something that interests me.

[residentredlambo]

That’s the same thing as like pal.

Slag I'm bad at this blogging stuff

Alas, crime doesn't rest and neither do I.

Probably won't be "blogging" for a few days. Much more pressing matters to attend to. Until then~ here's a picture you can color in.

Be sure to stay in the lines or I'll come get you.

this is what florida cops do all day

[rebelwithoutaswipe]

Heh. Ya can check me out all ya want.~

[strike-and-enforce]

Thank you for your cooperation, sir. 

...Hmm

Mmhm

//Continues to nod his helm and makes contemplative noises as he further inspects the mecha over the vid. comm.//  

Hm, just as I suspected.

" What can I say? All this hard work and stress has to be let off somehow. What way better than to indulge in one’s pleasures? For me, that is candies and the occasional sip of high grade. Any more and I get quite tipsy. Not surprising that I’m a lightweight with my size and all? Heh, bet you know who would win a drinking contest~"

A waiter came over, and she ordered some energon sweets and oil cubes for the both of them. With a side of some more sweet tea and energon swirls. Winking a little, or at least trying to with her facial visor, she nursed her tea once more.

" If you can charm me over, I will be quite surprised. Most mechs just want to see if they can wrap their servos around my waist, due to my racer frame. You’re welcome to try, if you are ready to accept the challenge~"

Oh she was flirting unabashedly now, a giggle leaving her vocalizers. She was not really kidding about her small waist. Most average sized mechs could surround it with one single servo. It had become a bit of a joke among her friends, which were mostly mechs for some odd reason. They had attempted to flirt with her multiple times, but it was mostly in good fun. Nothing serious, as she was seen as in ‘love’ with her work. An enforcer, working? No.

[strike-and-enforce]

//Betastrike knew a thing or two about being stressed with some of the things they encountered as an enforcer. It was part of why he liked to approach things with some kind of sense of humor intact. If he didn't, he's not sure how long he would have lasted when he first started out at headquarters. Granted back then, he was stuck with patrols and other menial tasks but still. The mechas he dealt with, in the city of Praxus and even just at headquarters, could probably have a newspark feeling like he's been in this line of work for too long.//

A drinking contest between us could possibly end in a tie or even with you as the victor. I haven't had the stuff since my days at the academy.

//He chuckles lightly in memory of his time back then. As strict as their instructors and regime may have been, the bots he called classmates and he managed to get into the wildest things behind their training officers' backs. Those were fun times.//

Charm you over? Now you make it sound as if I'm trying to win a game.~ You're much too lovely to be a simple prize for a few words and gestures. I'm just interested in seeing more of that cute smile of yours. Which so far, I think I'm doing rather well at.~

//The young Praxian wouldn't say he was necessarily in love with his work but he was proud of how far he had come as an enforcer. With his pride came his strong dedication to his duties. The only thing that came before his job was his family. The safety of his creators and brothers was his top priority. As long as he succeeded in those two things, protecting his family and upholding the laws of Praxus, Betastrike didn't need much else. But hey, it didn't mean he wasn't going to appreciate a good looking frame that came his way.//

< Excellent. I do so love when an agreement is ma– > [Just then, a sudden explosion is heard in the background along with the tell tale signs of emergency sirens and a gush of water from the over head sprinklers. Wheeljack has done it again in record time: had a project blow up in his face for the second day in a row. Ratchet will have a fit with this.]

< Apologies Betastrike but it appears my colleuge is– > [All you hear is a muffled ‘I’m fine! I’m in one piece!… Mainly one piece!’ in the background with something metallic dropping.] < –in need of some immediate assistance. Take care. >

[And with that, the line comes to a rather sudden end.]

[strike-and-enforce]

//Circuitbreaker's interrupted statement has the young enforcer raising an optic ridge. The accompanying noises in the background, what he can make of them(was that an explosion?) has the officer's optics widening in shock. 

What the frag?

He opens his mouth; ready to question the other Praxian and see just what the slag is going on over there. He doesn't get that chance to put his thoughts into spoken words though. The line is ending before he can make sense of anything that just happened.

Laying still in his berth, his spark races at the thoughts and concerns forming in his processor. It's only until he's replaying the audio from the ended comm. that he's piecing things together and relaxing somewhat. From what he can gather of what was said and heard, it probably was nothing more than some kind of incident in the labs Circuits works in. It eases that feeling in his chassis that the possibility of it being an attack from the enemy faction isn't as high as he initially thought. 

He may have jumped the gun so to speak in his assumptions but fraggit, Circuitbreaker is going to give him a spark attack one day ending a comm. like that. 

Of course as soon as that thought enters his processor, a memory file of a red plated Praxian scolding him in concern makes itself known again to him.

"Do you have any idea how worried you made your carrier and myself, Betastrike? I know your duties come first but please, you're going to give me a spark attack cutting our comms. without any warning like that."

Striker can't help but groan at the realization hitting him.//

Slag...Carrier's right. I really am as bad as you.

Who are ya, spark?~

[strike-and-enforce]

Law Enforcement Officer Betastrike of Praxus. My apologies for the sudden breach in your communication line but I've come across some suspicious activity with your frequency.

If you would willingly oblige me, I'd like to check things out in order to prove or deny my current suspicions
