    Summary

    Firstly, Prowl did not kill the sheriff.

    That was Barricade’s own fault, he’d had no hand in it.
    So it was really annoying that the manhunters kept chasing him, even as he’d tried to explain that.
    It probably also didn’t help that he was running- but, still.

    Summary

    Despite popular belief, Airbleed was not dead.

    Albeit, they didn’t really want anybody thinking otherwise. Their ‘extinguished’ status was proving to be more useful than not.
    Especially considering their… current form.

    Summary

    The safehouse has everything he needs- food, water, a defensible location, secure comms systems.

    He’d planned it out meticulously, taking time over months to slowly assemble his stashes and secure assets, trading information with targets for promises. He was well respected enough that none of it was questioned, if even noticed.
    He had a whole plan- be transferred “temporarily”, get caught in what’d be described as a freak incident nobody (even him) could’ve predicted, and make his way to where even less-bodys would think to look for him.

    The Empire valued him, but he was just one tactician. And Nar Shaddhaa was a big moon to search.

    But unfortunately, he underestimated just how much they valued him. Severely.

    Summary

    There was someone following him.

    As there’d been for the past three days and seventeen hours, but that wasn’t really important. The point was- they were there, and he didn’t appreciate that.

    Summary

    Mech pilots were typically poached from one of two fields.

    Driving -- from a rally or professional track, those pilots typically being given faster mechs that stayed primarily on the ground; but could pin-point a weak spot and hit it dead on, less bulk lending itself to easier maneuverability.

    Or flying. Whether military or not. Those pilots had the mechs with boosters, modified leg struts to make it so they could leap onto enemies at near-jet speeds, already used to the g-forces and spinning nausea that came with years in the sky. They were large-framed, tossing around their weight to cause as much damage as possible, accuracy left behind for the high speeds that they slammed into targets with.

    Camera had been in the air force for one year, before being dishonorably discharged. Three years in the sky in total, counting training and practice.

    They’d never wanted to go back.

    based from Keferon's Mecha AU on tumblr!! go look at it, its amazing!!!!

    Summary

    Eleven million kilocycles of war.
    Eleven million kilocycles of tying lines in the middle of a battlefield, patching wounds only for soldiers to come back worse than he’d sent them out. Eleven years of arguments, frustration, the knowledge that he could be deactivated at any second by a stray shot.

    But he hadn’t. He’d stuck around, too stubborn to let himself join the numbers that everyone had long-since memorized. And even past the end, he’d kept going, refusing to give up as soon as he caught his vents.

    Eleven million kilocycles of war.

    He refused to grow any more patient in all that time. Especially when concerning the health of his crew. And especially when he was being forced to hunt down the target of his frustration manually.

    Eleven million kilocycles, he didn’t know why he’d hoped for some damn respect around here.

    Summary

    They’d messed up.

    They knew it.

    Well, it was pretty obvious, judging by the massive gaping wounds on their back. Anybody would be able to tell something had gone wrong. Along with the fact that they were currently wandering. Alone. In the desert of decidedly not-their-home. Nobody did that voluntarily. Usually.

    But they knew just exactly how bad they’d messed up.

    Summary

    My hand was still hovering uncertainly above the animal, and I lowered it slowly to begin resuming my petting of the cat. It was still very awkward.
    My tactile feedback sensors pinged me with a new input, one that was generally unrecognized to them.

    Vibration.

    Why was the animal vibrating.

    in which ART assigns murderbot catbot status, and my attempt to make murderbot have Revelations turns into two bots being weird freaks

    this fic was inspired by me crying over how tiny a cat was at work, because i've never really met many cats before and oh my god she was so tiny what the fuck

    Summary

    She didn’t think about the dead pixel.

    She knew it was there -- it’d never not be, even long after the screen was repaired, (It’d never be fixed.) she’d hold it in her mind. She’d still be sat there, staring at it.

    She didn’t want to think about it. She didn’t want to notice the pixel in the first place. But she did.
    And there's no changing the past, as much as she’d like.

    Summary

    He hadn’t killed anybody.

    He hadn’t, he swore it.

    But they didn’t care.

    Nobody did.

    He’d grown up watching TV shows, cartoons, reading comic books. As almost all kids did. He knew the cliches, the expected scenes and lines, the repetition.

    He never thought he’d be living in one of them.

    Summary

    There was something in the walls.

    Holly could hear it.

    It wasn’t very loud, only occasionally making thumps, or odd air-breathing sounds, but they could still hear it.

    The noises had started after they left the District of Phar. L-M, beginning just a couple hours after they took off from the planet.

    Holly secretly wondered if some native creature had snuck onto their ship, seeking out the cool air in escape of the humid climate of the planet.

    They knew that guess was probably wrong, though.

    Summary

    She didn't remember much about the world before, about Earth.

    There were faint things. Warm touches, a scraped knee. Her childhood was untouched, though anything nearer to... It became harder to recall.

    All that stood now, was the Circus.
