LINA AND THE AUTOBOTS

[dragonswag]

Who: Lina Inverse and the Autobots!
Where: the new Autobot base, courtesy of CONDOR
When: a…day… today? today.
What: Lina appoints herself a CONDOR ambassador
Warnings: Lina Inverse IS a warning

Lina got the basics on the Cybertronians from the CONDOR reports; Newt filled her in with considerably more detail, and her conversation with Starscream was...well, she wouldn't call it enlightening, but it sure had been something. At any rate, by this point Lina feels totally qualified to pop on over to the new CONDOR-sponsored base the Autobots have just moved into and introduce herself. After all, if the Autobots are going to be working with CONDOR, Lina's bound to wind up with them at some time or another, especially if the Decepticons are a threat. And getting to know them means getting to know their weak points, too! Lina couold use that against the Decepticons. Or, you know, the Autobots, if things ever get too out of hand. She heard about city hall. Yikes.

All in all, though, she's actually pretty excited to meet these guys. Of all the aliens she's fought with Alpha Force, there've never been any giant space robots before.

Lina pretty much lets herself into their base -- whatever, it's still CONDOR property, she can totally just waltz in here whenever she wants. She swoops into the base, cape aflutter around her as she levitates midair, glancing around.

"Hellooo? Any robots around? Come out, come out, wherever you are! Alpha Force member here!"

"Oh right, I've...sort of heard of you guys!" If Rodimus ever paid attention to anything anyone around him talked about he would know exactly who they were, rather than just the vague knowledge that they were 'the guys the new base came from.' Right now his main concern is how this human is flying...no had told him human's could fly.

"'Course I'm an Autobot," he says, sounding almost offended which is kind of ironic, considering recent events. "I'm Rodimus. You're new to the Autobots, so you probably haven't heard of me, but I'm sure you otherwise would've. How're you doing that...flying thing?"

"Magic," Lina answers easily with a grin and a wink, her cape swirling around her ankles. Rodimus doesn't seem like the sharpest tack in the box right now, but Lina doesn't hold it against him. Actually, she thinks he's pretty neat so far. Newt said they turn into cars, right? And planes and stuff. Well, Lina can see tires on him, and he's got what looks like a pretty sweet spoiler...he must turn into some kind of super cool car. "Rodimus, huh? You some kinda big shot around here?"

[worstprime]

"Ah, right. 'Course." Rodimus doesn't know if "magic" has quite the same meaning amoungst humans as it does amoungst Cybertronians, nor how normal this is amoungst them, but feels like it's probably rude to ask, and since that always stops him, he accepts the answer.

"I dunno if I'd call myself a "big shot", replies Rodimus modestly, certain that he likes this human quite a lot so far. "But, yeah, I mean...I think I'd say I'm pretty...er...notable around here."

There's probably a better word than 'notable' to be used here, but Rodimus is trying a new thing where he uses more humble adjectives that aren't synonyms for "amazing" to describe himself. So far, he hates it.

"Right, right, 'cause Optimus Prime is the number one guy around here, right?" Lina grins and flashes Rodimus a cheeky wink, still swishing idly back and forth in the air as she hovers. "You look like you pack some serious firepower, though. I mean, you guys are fighting a war, right? Not only are you huge, but you're robots -- you Autobots must be able to kick some serious butt. I mean, you must have some moves, right?"

Lina could probably lay it on a little thicker, sure, but hey, a little subtlety never hurt anybody. Besides, Rodimus seems like the kind of guy who's ripe for a little ego-stroking. It's not as if she doesn't mean it! She just really wants to get a look at his alt mode...and maybe a ride, too.
