Zip: *stands* If it means anything, I for one would be glad to call you Captain, sir.

TC: .............what makes you say that, Master Zipline? You don't know me.

Zip: Because I trust Inspector Turboslide's judgement in people. He trusts you, else he'd never have offered you the job.

TC: ........... *looks around at the others... and at Turbo*

Turbo: *nods*

*they each meet his gaze and give him a smile and nod.*

FO: If you're worried about being a slave among free mechs... *he reaches up and turns off the holo hiding his collar.* You wouldn't be.

Fire: *gives FO's shoulder a supportive clap* He's no different from us, an' you wouldn't be either...well...except you'd outrank us. *Grins* But other than that, no different.

TC: ................. *nods* I see. You're a lucky mech, Fallout. Your master is aware of your position and your treatment here? *acting as passing himself off like a free mech*

FO: *nods* He does. I am extremely lucky to have a master who is good to me and encourages my work here. *headtilt* I would imagine that you do too, if you're here to even consider this job.

TC: .............my current master is a very good mech, yes. *for however long that lasts . . . to Turbo* What kinds of issues does the squad deal with? What kinds of calls are typical, or outside of the squad's influence?

Turbo: *will give TC a general idea of issues, as he really can’t get into details unless TC takes the job.*

Sun: Um...w-would first thing tomorrow work?
Turbo: Of course. I will see you then.
Sun: Okay. See you then. *he'll hang up if not stopped*
Turbo: I'll give you some reading that can't be found online. Again, don't stress memorizing, just familiarize yourself with it.

TC: Yes,sir. Thank you.

Turbo: Is there anything else you want to know before you go?

TC: ...we've not discussed pay, sir. How much will my master be receiving for my work? And will he be responsible for repairs if I'm injured on the job, or does the precinct have medics who will work on slaves?

Turbo: You'll receive the same pay as every other Captain on the force and cared for by the medics here if they deem it necessary just as with every other officer. I'll have you treated no differently than any other.

TC: *small grin* Thank you, sir. I very much appreciate that. Thought that doesn't fully answer the question - I have no idea what a captain makes.

Turbo: *little grin* It'd be easy enough to look up, but *he tells TC the wage. It's a decent amount of money...perhaps with that the three of them can afford to move into an area that won't require them locking the holo away in hiding for fear of thieves in the night....*

TC: *to him, that's a generous amount...and if they /can/ move, that would be great - bows his head* Thank you, sir. I look forward to telling my master. It will be really helpful.

Turbo: *nods* He's a good mech. I'm glad he was willing and able to take you in.

TC: *nods* He was insistent, even before you found us. If only for Skywarp's sake, he was promising to do what he could for me. He's...done more than I could ever hope for.

Turbo: *nods* Good mechs like him are rare. I'm glad you were so lucky. You and your wingmate.

TC: *nods* We both are fortunate with him. We're forever thankful for him.

Turbo: As am I. He's allowed you to join my squad. I know you're going to do a lot of good for a lot of mechs, especially if you decide to stay with us.
