1196/Overloaded

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth is face forward down in his pile of pillows with a few of the cheap engex bottles settled by, his ears folded back as he's grumbling from being up most the lunar-cycle, cleaning up the /mess/ Phantom left behind... Fact he'd actually left the door unlocked to his lab due to how exhausted he was.

      He'd absent mindedly rub at his neck were the saw had been previously.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff knocks, perhaps a bit uncharacteristically, before making his way down the stairs to the lab proper, giving a rather...curious look at the fact it's unlocked. That's disconcerting in it's own right...

But, hey, it happens. He gives a soft exhale and glances at the out-of-it mech face down in pillows and clears his vocalizer a bit. "You doin' alright there?"

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth would let out a muffled noise in response, even if he was a bit tipsy, he could recognize Dustoff's vocal patterns. He'd lift his head up partly to focus his optics on Dustoff. "Depends on your definition of 'Alright'" he'd state, bringing his hands up, pinching his index finger and thumb together.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff sighs softly and makes his way over to just drop into a seat next to the pillows. "Heh...well, let's jus'...talk about it, then. Ya survived, eh?" He looks at the empty bottles near by and furrows his brow. "How much did ya have, anyway?"

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth would point a finger at Dustoff and stop to think about what he'd asked, "...Two full bottles, enough to hopefully make me forget the happening of last Lunar-cycles, but not b-be so overcharged I can't tell up from down." He'd huff, and lay his chin on Dustoff's lap, his ears perking up slightly.

      He'd let out a low grumble as he closed his optics and rested is helm there.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff nods slightly and rests a hand on Goth's head, offering a light rub between the ears as he mutters. "Shoulda waited an' I'd've helped... Ain't...y' know, bad t' wait if ya need to." He shakes his head slowly. "How bad was it, then? An'...anything special or important broken?"

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth let out a soft chuff, relaxing himself there, it was definitely a bit of welcome peace from everything that had happened. "Opened a black hole, and then did that... Weird..." He'd squint, looking for words to describe just what had happened. "Anomaly where everything not bolted down floats upwards and then comes crashing down, some things phasing into other things." He'd explain, glancing over to a datapad that had a test-tube phased through its center, completely unbroken.

      "Wasn't something I could just leave." he'd vent. "To many hazards.." He'd mumble, lightly nuzzling his hlem into Dustoff's hand.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff frowns a bit and glances at said test tube, just shaking his head. "Hmph...yeah... Phantom's somethin' we gotta figure out how t' get controlled I guess..." He shakes his head again. "Glad nothin'...too critical was left in there, then."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth grunted and bented a sigh, resting there, bringing his winged arms around Dustoff. "...Hmph, this on top of being set on fire these past sieges, and feeling as if my work on and off the field is being overlooked.." He'd grumble.

      "...As you can tell my mood has been soured greatly these past solar-cycles." He'd glance up and try to relax after such. "...Something I am /attempting/ to control and remedy."

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff mms... "That so? What's...changed these last few cycles t' drive that, then?" He relaxes some under that wing, giving a look around the lab before his gaze shifts down to the other mech. "An'...honestly, do ya need help with anythin' at all? Y' know you can ask if ya want...or need, I ain't against helpin' ya out in any way I can."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth hemmed. "In discussions regarding our missions together how Sixshot, Shockwave, and, or Overlord will gain all the praise, most likely due to them hitting it more often, despite Sixshot and I having taken at least, three control points in our time together when we were the only ones being sent out for a time." He'd grumble.

      "...Only one I can really not fault being Sixshot as he at least tries to ensure those in the support position are remembered." He'd vent, and rub at his nose bridge. "...Suspect I may just be thinking this out of agitation due to the injuries that have been re-injured over the course of that and this time."

      He'd glance around the lab. "Hmm.. Have a number of upgrades for Darkstar I'm putting together, trying to figure how to mount a new silent electronic pulse emitter to create a weapon I can use to incapacitate targets... Also need to find time to actually improve upon my damnable aim." He'd vent.

      "There's the research I've been doing on the energon sample I took form those insecticons, and mesures i've been putting in place regarding that mimic.. And now there is blasted contaminated PHantom now running around." He'd groan.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff furrows his brow. "Overlord's...reputation kinda speaks for itself, I suppose. An' yeah...support gets hit hard. Whats th' old sayin'... when we do the job right, no one'll know it. When we do it wrong, everyone'll know it? Somethin' like that..." He grunts softly. "Honestly...I think th' Cons overall jus' need a swift kick in th' aft to get 'em all in gear."

He takes a moment to run his finger over some of the spot-welds and repairs, just causally inspecting here and there. "And...yeah, now there's a Phantom...hmph. There a way t' build some kinda containment field for 'im?" He ponders that a moment. "Eh, we'll figure it out..."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth vented a huff, and was silently for a moment, before nodding. "Hmph, have a point I suppose, I should be glad I've yet to mess up in this case." He'd muse a loud. "And I full heartedly agree, things are in a bit of.. disarray, while we are capable of running without most our leadership around, still require them for somethings." He'd grumble.

      There was some irritation and damage, not enough to be anything serious, but it was there from where he had to avoid getting hit by the larger equipment up there, where smaller things had plinked off his armor, his neck was irritated, but undamaged though, despite what was reported about having been held at saw-point.

      "That would require me pinning him down for a few hours to decipher how his intangibility abilities work."

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff hmms... "Well, we'll figure it out... But, like I said, glad nothin'...too important was in th' medbay." He finishes the look-over and reaches into a compartment, pulling out the vial that had been left in his desk. "Case in point... Wanted t' talk about this."

He looks it over for a moment before glancing back down at the other mech. "Gotta admit...I was, uh, caught off-guard a bit. I...ain't sure what t' say, if I'm bein' honest."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth glanced up and his face lit up slightly, but he'd hide it under his own wing, and chuffed. "Hmph... Well." He'd close his optics. "There isn't to much to say about it, that it doesn't already state...." He'd glance up at Dustoff slightly. "...Your important to me, and I feel.. /that/ expresses such without need of words." he'd nod.

**Dustoff has posed:**
Dustoff gives a slight nod and looks the vial over again before tucking it away safely. "I'll be more 'n pleased to return th' favor." He lets out a slow breath and rests himself there a bit. "Really did catch me off-guard..." He shutters his optics for a few moments before grunting. "Well, since th' medbay's quiet..for now...I'm perfectly fine jus' restin' here a bit."

**Goth has posed:**
     Goth glanced up at Dustoff once more, hesitating slightly, as he wanted to assure Dustoff he did not have to do so if he didn't feel it necessary but, his wording did indicate he knew what he was doing. He'd let out a soft chuckle and nuzzled against the other bot. "Hmph, still seems I have a few surprises still to grace you with." He'd yawn.

      "Mmmm... Engex is finally starting to..to.. take its effect here as well... Some recharge sounds.... nice." He'd yawn, curling up around the other bot.
