137/No Bombs This Time

**Swivel has posed:**
With recent events still fresh within her mind, the climb up to the premium suites of Vos are just as nerve wracking, if not more, than ever for the little grounder femme. And thus by the time she reaches Starscream's property, the femme takes a moment to regroup. She stares at the entrance and turns, as if changin her mind. However, she stamps her foot, as if stubbornly arguing with herself and turns yet back around to face the entrance. With trepidation, the femme buzzes the residence.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream is lounging in his living as is his habit to do for a few cycles once hes been damaged and repaired. Oh the indignity of being run over by Blurr. He will definetly pay back the speeder for that you can be sure. His doorbell buzzes suddenly and his servent drone answers the door. But when he opensit and sees swivel he turns toward STarscream. The Seeker sits up suddenly and goes on his guard. "Come to being me more BOMBS, femme?" no hes not happy.

**Swivel has posed:**
".....Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... newp. No bombs fer ya this toim," the femme responds with an abundance of cheer and cheekiness. She glances at the servant drone, and then peers past it at Starscream. "Jus' came ta...." she glances around herself to see if there is any foot or air traffick nearby, or even people peering from neighbouring windows. Satisfied, she continues her sentence, "...talk."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream sits back down with his energy blanket of sorts and wads it up in a huff. Then he puts it on the arm of his couch and leans on it. "Fine. But you won't mind if you get searched before you come any closer would you?" he motions for his servent drone to search the femme as he shuts off his TV and sulks while shes being 'cleared' to come closer.

**Swivel has posed:**
"Peeeerfec'ly reasonable request, sir!" Swivel responds in a chipper tone as she puts her arms out, assuming the optimal position to be scanned as well as physically searched. The femme doesn't seem in the elast bit embarrassed. In fact, she seems rather used to it. The only items that the drone can find on her person is spare coolant, rusty pliers, an empty energon goodies dispenser, polish-blackened rags, glasscleaning spray, two datapads, and a card tied to an account of some sort. The femme has a startling lack of weaponry, even for a civillian.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream raises an optic ridge, "Talk?" he huffs a bit and nods the servent away when she clears the search. "What about?" he asks sourly glancing at his freshly repaired window.

**Swivel has posed:**
"Wellum..." Swivel begins, tilting her head towards the very same window. "Guess I otter start with 'splainin' tha' away. But where t'begin? I'unno. So's... I takes it I kin come in?" Swivel doesn't wait for confirmation before she steps in all of the way, not wishing to be caught loitering about the entrance to Starscreams penthouse. "I'd pologize but I dinna do 'enthin' wrong s'much as dinna do sumtin' foolish. I mean, i dinna know fer sure that was gonna be a bomb, but I dinna think it was gonna be pleasant wot it woz 'coz th'folk 'oo gave it ta me wunner pleasant. An'now outter th'blue I'm gunner ask if ya knows a mech named Phantom?"

**Starscream has posed:**
"What?" Starscream blurts out before he can stop himself. "What does that moron have to do with the bomb you delivered to me? Was he the one who gave it to you? Tell me now and I will take care of it..." oh boy will he take care of it.

**Swivel has posed:**
"Wha? Nope. I'm jus' askin..... coz.... okay um I'm not so good at gettin' thin's in order. Phantom's jus' inna mess 'cozo th'same folk that made me take tha' bomb, and I mean made me! I got rid o' th'first one 'coz I dinna wantcha t'get 'urt... but 'en they tracked me down 'n gave me another bomb, 'n told me if I dinna 'liver it, I'd end up loik Quantum. Er... they 'ad 'im chained t'ther wall in th'same room as me o' proof. E' dinna look good, and I dun loik pain. I really don't."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream blinks and is still for a long moment. He's trying to deiphere everything the small femme just said. How does Thundercracker carry on conversations with her? "The morons tied to a wall from the same people that want to kill me, right? Why should I care what they do to him?"

**Swivel has posed:**
The femme stops and gawks at Starscream incredulously. "Um.... sir.... uh... well... point is, summon wants ya blown up. So, that makes ya mad, roight? I dunno much, but th'mech ya wanna be lookin into is Ricochet. E's th'one 'oo gave me th'bomb, an' I dun think e's done wrenchin' me yet either. Fact, I'm s'prised I'm still alive. But more importantly, you otter be real mad 'bout this. Phantom's real mad at ricochet too.... so's um... guess I'm sayin', ya got summon wit' a common enemy, an tha' makes... uh.... good for sharin' info and gettin' stuff done. Thing is, I don't want Phantom draggin' me into lookin' for Ricochet or 'is revenge. So I figured I'd find someone else more, yanno, useful 'n me 'o's also want revenge, an' hopefully if yas work together, Phantom kin leave me outter 'is mad 'unt." The femme shrugs her shoulders, not sure if any of this is making sense to Starscream, and she begins to wonder the wisdom of even trying to communicate with the surly mech.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream listens to her and deciphers at the same time. "IS Phantom still be held captive by... Ricochet?"

**Swivel has posed:**
The femme shakes her head. "Nononono, Quantum was 'eld by Ricochet, but Phantom wanted to rescue Quantum. I guess they're, like, real close or somethin'? Phantom did rescue Quantum, but Ricoceht got away, I thinks. I was there, coz Phantom made me come even though I told 'im all I knew, but I dun think 'e trusts me, so 'e made me come ta keep me honest er somsot." The femme pauses and nods to herself, as if re-evaluating what she said and comparing it to a mental checklist. "....Okay, even I'm startin' ta confuse myself. Okay... um.... Ricochet gave me the bomb. Ricochet also hurt a mech named Quantum. Phantom is Quantum's friend. Phantom knew I saw Quantum last, so 'e made me tell 'im where 'e was and made me go with 'im to find 'im. We finally found and rescued Quantum, but Ricoceht is still at large, and may stilll try to kill you, kill Phantom, or kill me, or 'oo knows 'oo else. I think you shoo try'n get in contact with Phantom, 'n ask if ya kin work together ta get rid o' Ricochet, b'coz e's a threat. I dun wanna see ya get blown up."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream is confused but he won't admit it for one moment. He is quiet for a few moments sorting all this out in his head. "Alright." he says finally. "I will try and find Phanom. In the meantime, I want you to see if you can find out where this Ricochet is, alright?"

**Swivel has posed:**
The femme looks down at the ground. Well, this has been a partial success. "Wellum.... there's a munitions fact'ry on Luna-2 'e was tied to... but since 'e knows we know, I dunna think e'll be there 'enmore. Folk loik 'im dun stay still long onec they're found out... but I'll see wot I kin learn." The femme looks apprehensive about this assignment, but also resigned.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream frowns and finally admits, "I have no idea what you said after you don't think he'll be there anymore..." he glances away for a fraction of a second and then looks back.

**Swivel has posed:**
"Oh I'm used t'tha. Jus' sayin' that since 'e was exposed, 'e would stop being involved with that place and 'ide summere else fer a woil. I know the type," Swivel explains, speakling carefully and slowly, being careful to anunciate. If only those elocution classes from Blast Off had stuck.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream nods finally getting what she was saying. "Very well." he says, "But keep your audios open to any talk. And if by some chance he hires you again, make sure you let me know before you deliver the next bomb."

**Swivel has posed:**
"I'da lecha know last toim if they din say they'd be watchin'. I was scared outter me wits... 'n I 'ent brave, yanno. But I'll try ta keep up on talk 'bout all tha'." The femme curls in her lips, realising she is playing a vERY dangerous game. "Wellum, I'll letcha get back to yer R&R 'en, 'n not make meself much more o' a nuisance." The femme bows slightly in ways of a goodbye.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream flicks a wing. "Yes." he says in way of agreeing with her leaving so he can get back to his resting. "Report to me anything that doesn't seem right." he motions for his servent to show her to the door and then he turns the TV back on but doesnt seem to interested in whats playing. His mind is busy with everything she just told him and starts to scheme on what do to next.
