Sun: *reaches for TC, imploring* Please.  One of us needs to go with you.  Please let me come with you.  And then I'll go to the hospital, promise.

TC: *pulls back* You don't even recognize me! What did that fragger /do/ to you!? *drops to a knee, gripping Sun by both shoulders* You're like /trine/, Sundance! You're /family/. You're my little brother. *reaches up and /pulls/ off the holoclip, exposing his collar* You're also my /master/, my beloved master. Is /none/ of this sounding even remotely familiar? *searching his optics - /please/ let this snap him out of it!* We've been looking for you for /days/, Sun. Why didn't you make any attempt to contact us? To let us know you're okay, that you're /alive/?

Sun: *gazes at TC, taking all that in.  Voice is soft.* I... I'm sorry.  When I first woke up I had thought to see if anyone might be looking for me, but then I got...distracted.  Please.  You'll understand when you see, but you can't go alone...

TC: .......... *stands, looking between him and Sonic, voice low and /edged/* One of you is telling me /right now/ what it is you say I need to see and why an armed police officer cannot go alone. *there's an "or consequences" in that but he...can't bring himself to say it*

Sun: */stiffens/, that look of cold determination back, just like that day he roasted that bully for beating TC* Because you'll scare them and they /won't/ understand what's going on. 

TC: ...............them who? *voice measured and even...deliberately so - he wants nothing more than to just /scoop/ Sun up and take him to the nearest hospital and get him properly seen to, and get him /back/!...but he also knows Sun, if this is still his core personality unchanged, just with memories blocked, then this really is something he needs to look into...he /trusts/ Sun, knows how much he cares about others...*

Sun: *he looks away to /scowl/ so TC won't think Sun is mad at him.* People others have thrown away as trash. *looks back at TC* They need help and everyone Sonicwing has tried to go to in the past for help has refused, so he does what he can, alone.  He's given up on anyone else caring. He's a /good/ mech, and has given /so much/ for people that would have been left to die and rot because their creators were too stupid to do things right. *he is /this/ close to leaving.  If he’s reading this right he’s not under arrest, and so unless they arrest him, and he doesn’t think they have charges to arrest him on, he’ll leave so he can see to Sonic’s family before going back to town to see what he can do to help Sonic...but it’s been long enough that /someone/ needs to get back...Hell...this officer just said Sun is his master.  He’ll...h-he’ll use that if he has to, but doesn’t want to.*

Sonic: *peeking around at everyone, looking terrified...he's not sure what scares him more, that they'll believe and actually go there or that they won't believe and will take him away.  H-he's just scared that either way his family is going to end up hurt*

TC: .................. *looking between the two, look softening as his stance relaxes . . . finally nods, tone low* Silverwing, Windstorm, take Sonicwing back to the precinct. *look and tone harden for a moment* I'm still going to want to know why you didn't take a /not/-thrown-out-as-trash mech to a hospital. *continues, going back to neutral* Zipline, with me. *to Sun* Let's go meet these abandoned sparks.

Sonic: *frightened trill*

TC: *has put the holoclip back on his collar*

Sun: *reaches out towards the other officers* Please don't hurt him!  And if you fly, please catch him when you land, he doesn’t land very well.

Silver: *exchanges a quick glance with Wind at the landing part, but then looks back at Sun, gentle as he shifts his hold on Sonic* We’ll not hurt him or let him be hurt, not without being given good reason.

Wind: *nods his agreement*

Sun: ...*nods and turns to look up at TC...and then takes a stance to be carried* It’s easiest to get there by flight. *actually, he was worried about how long it would have taken him to /climb/ up had he left on his own...*

((Squad: TC over Windstorm, Silverwing, Zipline.  Twinblade over Firebomb, Ripcord, and Fallout (also a slave)))

TC: *nods* He'll not be harmed. *with Sun taking stance, TC will scoop him up...a-and take a moment to just.../hold/ him, clinging, helm tucking over his - Sun will feel a soft shudder of reaction - then he looks at Zip to see if she's ready, then takes off*

[socrowdedinhere]

Sun: *Primus, this whole thing is breaking his spark. He can /tell/ this mech /knows/ him, he /knows/ what was said before can't just be empty words...and he can't remember at all. He'll get an arm free and kind of hug it over the top of TC's arms...wishing he could do more...*
Zip: *nods, ready to go with him.*

[dragondancer5150]

TC: *will get the coordinates from Sun, just so they know where they're going without trying to communicate verbally in the air, in the high winds, and they'll take off*

[socrowdedinhere]

*They'll come to a landing far out from the city and high up on a cliff. When they land, if TC doesn't put Sun down, he'll squirm to get down.*
Sun: Please let me go in first? I know that's probably not procedure, but /please/ trust me on this? *if you really know him, Captain, please let him do this...*

[dragondancer5150]

TC: *sets Sun down, but...yeah, it's /not/ his first instinct to let Sun walk into an unknown location . . . but . . . he /does/ trust him* Zipline, go with him but stay back, out of immediate sight. *she's smaller and will be less noticeable or threatening while still being capable of handling herself and the situation, and he won't be /that/ far behind*

[socrowdedinhere]

Sun: *glances at her...and nods. He heads in and a moment later he leads out a big bruiser of a mech who is cuddling another mech to his chest, and shifting from foot to foot like he's worried.* It's okay, Buster. It's okay. These officers are here to help.
Buster:: Hnnn. Where Sonic? Sonic lost?
Sun: *a /pained/ expression crosses his face* He's...safe. He'll be home again soon. He needs you to be brave for now, can you be brave from him, Buster?
Buster: *shifts and peeks at TC and over at Zip. He carefully shifts the limp mech in his arms to face out*
Mech: Captain. Welcome to our home. *his...voice sounds funny...probably because his mouth doesn't move when he speaks...*
Sun: *turns back to TC* This is Buster and Datapoint. They're two of many who've been helped by Sonicwing.

[dragondancer5150]

TC: */frowning/, but it's a clearly concerned frown* My name is Thundercracker. This is Zipline. How did you two come to be here? And . . . if I may ask, what is your handicap, Datapoint?

[socrowdedinhere]

Data: A pleasure to meet you both. Buster and I were sparked incomplete. Most of us here were. Sonicwing found us in an alley, where our creator dumped us when we didn't function to his standards. Buster cannot communicate well, his thoughts are slow and our creator thought him stupid. I was unable to move or speak. Sonicwing managed to give me a voice just two days ago, with Sundance's help. Many of us have similar stories, Captain. Those who were not abandoned by their creators are those who were considered slum trash. When they were injured the local clinics refused to treat them without payment. Sonicwing found them and offered help, for free, where others wanted only money they didn't have to give. Please, Captain, where is Sonicwing? And is he well?

[dragondancer5150]

TC: *listens, taking in the states of both mechs - and Sun's reactions to Data's words* Sonicwing is well. There was...an incident a few days ago that needs to be straightened out. Take us inside. I would like to meet the rest of those who are here. *glnacing at Zip to follow him*

[dragondancer5150]

Warp: *n-nods with a soft buzz, finally stands to follow Zip…doesn't let go of Sun, just picks him up with him *
TC: *stiffens…but lets him, even hugs back* Sonic will be very proud of you, Buster. I should see you again soon. *will pull back and head out with Sun, Warp, and Zip*

[socrowdedinhere]

Buster: *lets go and moves over to Data to pick him up.*
Sun: *content fo tuck into this stranger whom he knows cares greatly for him.*

[dragondancer5150]

*And they'll head off - Warp for the hospital and TC for the precinct.*

((Pick one, do them first, then switch?))

[socrowdedinhere]

Sonic: *curled up in the back of a holding cell, sobbing softly... with none of Turbo's squad there he couldn't very well be left at someone's desk...*

[dragondancer5150]

TC: *comes into the holding area and steps up to the front of the cell, voice low* Sonicwing. *half greeting, half just getting the poor mech's attention*

[socrowdedinhere]

Sonic: *flinches and looks up, optics bright.*

[dragondancer5150]

TC: Your mechs are safe. They've been fueled and are being looked after for the moment by my squad. *very small grin* Buster's asking about you. He's worried, and being very brave for you.

[socrowdedinhere]

Sonic: *huffsob of overwhelming relief.* Th-thank you for your kindness. Th-they deserve so much more than I could ever hope to give them. A-and your friend? I-I mean, i-if I-I'm allowed to a-ask.

[dragondancer5150]

TC: Being taken to a hospital for treatment. *powers off the bars and motions the mech to him* Come.

[dragondancer5150]

*They'll arrive at the hospital, Warp /clutching/ Sun to himself as he looks for a mech to check in with, glancing to make sure Zip's with him too.*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zip: *gives Warp a reassuring nod and flags down a medic.* This minibot needs to be looked at. He was in an accident recently and is having issues with his memory and comm. please check for any other damages as well.
Medic: *nods* This was. *will lead Warp (with Sun) to an exam room so he can work.*

[dragondancer5150]

Warp: *gives her a grateful nod - to the medic as he follows* His name is Sundance. He's a real good friend of mine, b-but he…he doesn't remember me. Or any'a the rest of us. *sets him carefully on the repair berth*

[socrowdedinhere]

Medic: *gives Warp a reassuring smile.* Just leave him to me.

[dragondancer5150]

Warp: *nods, watching Sun* C-can…can I stay? I won't get in the way, promise. *even steps back - see? He's being good.*

[socrowdedinhere]

Medic: *nods* You can stay, but if I tell you to go, then you need to go, agreed?

[dragondancer5150]

Warp: *casts a glance at Zip...nods* Yes, sir. *will retreat to a chair in the corner*

((*finally flops at compy*))
