TRANSMISSION 1

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[What up SOL. Here's this extremely pissed off giant bird guy, pacing around and grumbling under his breath. He seems to be looking for something, so it takes him a minute to notice Cambot. When he does, he stares at it for a moment, looking rather confused. ]

The hell... a camera? HEY!!

[Quite suddenly, the bird leaps at Cambot, grabbing the sides of it and practically mashing his beak right into the camera's lens. He does not appear to be a very happy camper.]

Listen up, chumps! I dunno who's crappy idea of a joke this is, but it ain't funny! I got better things t'do than waste my time sittin' around on some shitty satellite, arright!? Someone better tell me where the hell my blaster is, and point me to the nearest exit !

[Well, apparently someone didn't pay attention to Gypsy when he got here, obviously his missing blaster was so much more important. Big angry bird looks off screen and snorts, giving poor Cambot a shove. What an asshole.]

[Liz has pretty much accepted that there's talking anthropomorphic animals as a possibility on this ship.]

Hey, easy there bird boy. We're not going anywhere for a while.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[GADZOOKS what is this thing. Falco's just. Shocked.]

What kinda gorilla are you!?

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

[This look. Yeah, the lady's kinda vain. You're so charming, Falco.]

Guess you don't have humans in your world.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[Oh he tries~]

Humans? Never heard of it.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Well they're all the rage where I come from.

And they don't like being called gorillas. Just FYI.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Well it ain't my fault they look like deformed, hairless gorillas, A'ight?

[Aw yeah, makin' friends right off the bat. Good job, Falco.]

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that kind of thing is likely to get you punched.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Hey come on, it's not Cambot's fault that we all got stuck up here.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, another one of those hairless apes]

What- this thing's sentient now? It got an AI or somethin'?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think all of the robots here do. All of them talk except for the Cambots, anyway, but they listen to what you say.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

These stupid things don't follow you to the bathroom, do they?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. I think if you just tell them to leave then they'll leave.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

They better, otherwise I'm gonna start breakin' 'em.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

That Cambot's not even a messenger, so you really shouldn't shoot it.

We're all stuck here. Cool your heels.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

I can't really shoot it without my blaster anyway.

Waddya mean stuck? Ain't there any transports off this lump of crap!?

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...It was a metaphor.

No, there aren't. Trust me, I don't do well being trapped places, either.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

I'd still shoot it.

So we're just. Stuck here.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Shoot first and ask questions later, huh?

Far as I can tell.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Damn right, pal.

Wonderful. It ain't like I was doin' something important or anything.

[iamaman-punch.livejournal.com]

...wow, and I thought my first impression was bad.

Do me a favor and let me know when my girlfriend's done beating the crap out of you, okay?

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Just so we're on the same page, that other hairless gorilla's your girlfriend, yeah?

[iamaman-punch.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Calling her a gorilla really isn't helping.

[It's also really ticking him off. So he knows.]

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with gorillas? Are you gorillaist?

[iamaman-punch.livejournal.com]

[He just got called racist. By a bird. Just when he thought things had hit maximum weirdness.]

Well, no. It's just that where we're from, getting called a gorilla is an insult. [That is not a happy grin. That is an I-May-Kill-You grin.] You might not want to do that anymore.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[To be fair, technically it's speciesist]

[NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE but hey we'll roll with it]

Yeah, whatever, kid.
