Turbo: *motions at the chair across from him.* Welcome, have a seat. And thank you for coming.

TC: *glances around, assessing threats (trying to find any) and cautiously settles, stiff and alert*

Turbo: Wing tells me you're a good mech...

TC: *looks away with a grimace* Wi-...Master sees more good in the world in general than is actually there.

Turbo: The mech is annoyingly optimistic and idealistic as often as not, but he's a good mech and has a knack for seeing the core of others. If he says you're a good mech, that's good enough for me.

TC: .....I was, once. *looks back up at Turbo* What do you really want from me? The only thing a slave is good for to cops is easy blame and someone to lord over who can't fight back.

Turbo: I want another good mech on my squad, who can hold his own, work with the team, think for himself, and get the job done without bias. Tell me about your military experience.

TC: *snorts* I don't have any. My life was stolen from me before I could finish my training at the academy. What about your squad's bias, /captain/? Or are you oblivious to the fact that walking into a police station is like walking into a scraplet's nest?

	Turbo: eyes TC... Find him a cover, then if he wants to go out you're all dismissed. Wind: Woo-hoo! We get to get the newbie drunk! FB: grins at TC. This is assuming you'd like to join us...? RC: You going to join us, Chief? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: optics still a bit bright, shies back a half-step with hands up I-I . . . probably shouldn't. But thank you, sir. to Wind and FB (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Turbo: Despite what's said, you don't have to drink more than you want. It might be good for all of us to go out, let you get to know your team a bit better. Router: brings TC a cover Try this one. We can try a different size if we need to, but this one was closest to your colors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: can't get the idea out of his head that this will somehow go /horribly/ wrong…and yet, he can't just turn these mechs down…but he doesn't even have any money… I . . . will need to get Master's permission. nod of thanks as he accepts the cover from Router and tries it on (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Router: Oh good, it looks like it fits, is it comfortable? Turbo: You can call him from here, or my office, if you need to. if TC doesn't have Wing's personal comm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: not completely, but it'll work It's fine, thank you, si-…thank you. wants to keep as much in the open as possible, so he'll refrain from personal comm Thank you, sir. will move to use an open comm (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wind and FB move off to roughhouse and joke with each other a bit while TC makes his call. The test will just wait quietly. Wing: Hello? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: keeping his voice low Master, it's Thundercracker. I've been accepted for the captain's position on his squad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wing: That's wonderful! but is that the only reason TC called? I'll come by to sign the datafile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: Thank you, sir. I'll ask the captain when he thinks it will be ready for you. Also, the . . . the squad's going to go out for bit together. They . . . want me to go with them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

TC: ……………….. *tries to reply but…isn't sure /how/ for a moment – this is almost unreal, surely he's dreaming or something…also he doesn't have any money…b-but he…he /really/ wants to go with them, ACHES for /something/ like an experience of a normal (free) life again . . . voice softly broken with static* Thank you, sir. I won't get overcharged. T-thank you…

Wind: *suddenly at TC's shoulder* Don't worry, Wing, we'll bring him home smashing drunk and tuck him safely into berth.
FB: Maybe only a little less than smashing drunk. *on TC's other side*
Wing: *laughs* So long as you bring him home safely. I'll wire some credits to an account you can use, Thundercracker.
Wind/FB: No need.
FB: Windburn's buying first round, and I'm getting the second.

TC: *startling a heavily-abused, military-trained gladiator is /not/ a good idea . . . Wind suddenly at his shoulder gets a /reaction/ - TC gasps as he shifts away, hands coming to defend…only to slam into FB - with a soft, reflexive growl, he's /slipping/ from between the two and retreating to a defensive position, back against a wall and ready to fight . . . it happens in split astro-seconds, and only after does it even hit him what he's doing, and what /they/ were doing – he goes /stiff/, gaze dropping from the others* Sorry . . . I should just get home. *before he /really/ frags something up*

	Wind: they do joke with Wing, and then he's turning to TC. Aw, don't bail on us. Router used to be just as jumpy. has the grace to look sheepish We should have known better than to startle you like that. Won't do it again, not on purpose anyway. FB: Yeah, come join us. Please? Wing: on the line, but he'll let TC answer for himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	TC: …………getting too close is . . . not a good idea. I'm a long-time gladiator . . . among other things. makes himself straighten, ready to…just call it a day Thank you, but I don't want to cause any trouble. he'll just stick to doing whatever work they assign him and otherwise…keeping to himself…it'd be for the best…he's sure of it (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	FB: You've not caused any trouble, and I'm thinking you couldn't if you tried. Wind: Besides. Causing trouble is his job. thumbs at FB. Wing: Go have some fun and get to know your team, Thundercracker. I'll see you tonight. he'll hang up if no one says anything to stop him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
