Maru: *shakes his head, stowing the rod in an empty weapon compartment* No, I think this will be fine for now. I think I'd like to give him another...joor maybe, then I'll go after him. He needs to calm down first. *frowns* He really has been through a lot, just in the time I've known him. Far more than he deserves.

Wing: I can tell he has. I'm sorry either of you have been hurt.

Maru: *shrugs* I'll live. But thank you.

Wing: *nods and will motion for Maru and Pips to come with him. He'll lead them to a good sized room with a couple berths.* This will be your room until we can either get you home or you find somewhere else you'd rather stay.

Maru: Thank you, Wing-san. *to Pips* How are you feeling? Tired at all?

Wing: You're very welcome.

Pips: *shakes her head and /clings/ like she's afraid he'll leave her if she admits she's tired.*

Maru: *crouches to her level* Pips-chan, I won't leave without telling you. I won't abandon you, I promise.

Pips: *meets his gaze, trembling softly.* ............Why did you take me out of there too? Why give me the choice? *she just wants to know his reason, why risk his freedom by helping her?*

Maru: *small grin* Because no one deserves to live in such a hell. I can't help everyone, but I could help one. It's what I was built to do.

Pips: *studies him a moment, then steps up to HUG him.* Thank you.

Maru: *wraps his arms around her, hugging back* My pleasure, little one. I'm glad we could help. And that we seem to have found you a good home.

Master: *snaps his fingers and a bot drops dramatically from the ceiling to land in a crouch beside Oil's seat. He looks /exactly/ like Maru except different colors here and there....and /no/ personality in his green optics.* Your replacement. *looks at TC.* Resigned are you? Very well, you want free of me so badly then you will be. You, your trine leader, and the Earth drone will go to market together. Whoever buys you will have to take you as a package. If no one buys you, all three of you will be smelted. I know you don't seem to care if you live or die, but the other two might. You'll have to take things up with them. *waves a hand.* Get them ready.
Stars: *he /is/ muzzled, so only TC will hear him curse at Oil.* //Don't you dare clam up on me, Thundercracker. I'm not dying in some pit-spawned smelter, and neither are you. ...we're together again, we'll get away from the next fragger to own us.//

Maru: *optics /brighten/, but then he recovers, though he's…not as certain as he's trying to sound* Do you /really/ think a mindless copy could truly replace someone able to think and react to situations? As I said, you're more delusional than I thought.
TC: *finally looks up, pinning a glare on Stars full of more emotions in turmoil than the other Seeker will even be able to work out* Will you? I /will/ hold you to that, Starscream. You know I will.
Maru: ……………?? *looking at him – hold him to /what/?*

Oil: I now have an efficient, obedient, advanced drone. Better yet, he's built here and not by some squishy organics. */frowns/ at TC...and then glances at Stars.*
Starts: *startles...and then optics narrow at TC.* //.....Don't be a fool. And don't you dare clam up on me, Thundercracker. I'm not dying in some pit-spawned smelter, and neither are you. ...we're together again, we'll get away from the next fragger to own us.//

	TC: just stares back….finally //I'll help /you/ get away from the next fragger. // that's as much of a compromise as he's willing to make right now Maru: looking between the two…knows better than to try to ask anything in front of another (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Stars: *will accept that for now*
*Mechs will come take them away, none too gentle about getting Stars down from the wall. They're not repaired, In fact they're stripped to bare essentials as far as armor goes, the rest packaged in a subspace box. They'll be shoved in a room and taken to the markets come morning. Stars is still muzzled, and Maru is too, so it's up to TC to try to convince someone to but two worthless scraps and a drone...*

	By the time the group is dumped in the room for the night, TC has shut down again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stars: once he's sure it's just the three of them he'll eye Maru....and then shift to TC's side, shoulder to shoulder. His high voice unusually low. Don't give up on me, Thundercracker... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: ……………..I'm /done/, Starscream. I'll help you and Shadowmaru, but for myself, I'm /done/. Maru: wants to say something…figures his own trinemate will have more effect than he could (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Stars: .....Skywarp is still out there. *there's and expectancy that TC will help Stars find their third.* ...I don't want to feel you die, Thundercracker. I had a trine before you and Skywarp; feeling a wingmate die is as bad as a forced meld. *he's never shared that before. They'd heard that master that forced them to trine talk about Stars' "other trine" or "other wingmates", but Stars has always refused to talk about them.*

	TC: …………. looks at him, studying him – it's hard to tell what he's thinking or feeling even with the trinebond…he's just…numb…- deep within, hearing that /does/ mean a lot, it's just…he doesn't /want/ it to, he doesn't want to hear it, he doesn't want to be talked out of things… (Reply to this)(Parent)
