(RP) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

Jackknife: Autobot/Tracker Trailer (Soldier)

Jackknife’s vocal synthesizers carry his appreciation, “Yes, Phoenix please do... I'm going to look at Impact's remains to see what's salvageable.”

With that he turns and heads back to the wreck that is Impact…

Phoenix

"No problem boss",Phoenix says. Before turning back to the questioners "In order, the ansewers to your questions, are We are autobots." He momentarily turns into a car at this point. The jets were Decepticons. We were in the middle of a civil war, that unfortunately appears to have followed us here. Two we got here in the Ark, our ship, the Decepticons followed us in there own ship. Which I believe you discovered in the Antartic? As for where we are from, our home planet's is name Cybertron." Phoenix continues to ansewer thier questions in friendly manner, while not giving out what a soldier would consider classified information.

For the most part, the humans seem inquisitive and awed by the gigantic Autobots. But it soon becomes apparent who the "leaders" are among the humans as questions soon surface such as "What are your intentions here?" and other things that are decidedly pointed.

Phoenix, go ahead and roll two “Interaction” rolls; the first as a diplomacy roll to A) make a peaceable show for the humans and B) not to give away anything important… obvious things you wont say that are “restricted” but an observant person will be able to know when they are not getting the whole truth. (You’ll have a +5 on this due to the robotic face that has not “expressions” that are recognizable by humans.

The second roll for Interaction is a sense motive type of roll, and everyone should make this roll for me as well.

(Interaction can be used unskilled… Just post what you rolled. )

Jackknife, give me a roll for any “build/repair” skills that you might have as you examine Impact.
 



Phoenix:
(Interaction: Diplomacy) As you speak, you get the feeling that the awe the humans feel is due to their amazement at what you are. Much like Spike, these people have never seen anything like you, just as you have never seen anything like them. You feel confident that you didn't upset or anger any of them with what you had to say.
(Interaction: Hide Info) Several of the questions asked of you were the typical kinds of questions made by different beings upon making first contact. You answer them as best as you can without lying, but certainly without giving up any Autobot secrets or information that these humans do not need to know about your race. While the questions by the leaders of the humans were harder to deflect, you feel confident enough that you did not let slip any information that a cunning mind could put together and gather significant facts from.
(Interaction: Sense Motive): As friendly and cordial as you were, you still get the feeling that the "leaders" of the humans simply don't trust you. You remember Sparkplug's words earlier today in the Ark; "But, people on Earth are kind of suspicious of things they don't understand. And if there are bad versions of you running around, I'm betting most of us wont be able to tell the difference between you." You believe that these leaders, these men of responsibility, do not trust you, possibly even believe that you arrived here on Earth for to simply conquer it. Their questions were specifically geared to get a handle on the offensive capabilities of the Autobots. At one point, you even felt that one particualar human, a rather stout man when compared to Sparkplug (who is much more stout than his son, Spike) with odd markings on his face that your database describes to you as a Mustache, asked where the Autobots were making their home here on Earth. This one question you were not able to deflect and felt inclined to dodge it altogether. You noted that the man realized that you were intentionally hiding this information from him but that he also tried to hide his displeasure by not forcing the matter, in hopes, presumably, that he did not let you know that he did not want the Autobots anywhere near his planet.

((OOC: Nice die roller. However, it is not needed. If I ask for you to roll dice for me, you can do a die roller or just roll it yourself and post it. I'll trust you. From time to time, I'll just ask you guys to roll up some rolls, other times I'll do it myself. A good rule of thumb is the stuff that yeilds RP results I'll generally have you roll. Stuff like combat (and especially where several rolls are needed to yeild a single result) I'll generally roll. Sometimes I might say "You need to MAKE a fortitude save, XXX player." then that means you might want to even cheat when you make the roll because dire things could happen to you if you fail. It would just be our little secret :D)
 

Bushido:
As Phoenix speaks with the humans, you notice a real difference in the questions asked once the "guys in charge" arrive on the scene. The men are definately not as enamored with you as the "regular" guys are and in fact, you get the feeling that they are very suspicious of you, asking thinly veiled questions about the offensive power of the Autobots, your base of operations on Earth and the like. You feel proud of Phoenix who answers their questions without giving away crucial information.
(spot check: 14 (1d20) + 7 (perception) = 21): Being smaller than your Autobot brothers, you notice one of the "grumpier" humans, a rather stout fellow, roughly twice the width of Sparkplug who has a odd brown stripe under his nose, a stripe that your updated database tells you is a "mustache", leans over to one of the guys he has authority over and seems to speak into the other's audio receptor. (Listen check: 2 (1d20) +7 (perception) = 9): Try as you might, you cannot hear what was said. But a second later, the underling slowly fades toward the back of the gathering of humans and, with a brisk walk, heads into the southern warehouse.
 

OOC: Yeah, I figured not telling where the ark was, would be a problem. But I also realized, that was probably #1 on the list, Jack Knife wouldn't want bandied about. What's a soldier to do? :\
 

Bushido will attempt to subtly move himself so that he has a clear view of the southern warehouse and any windows or doorways it possesses, if he deems it is possibly without arousing suspicion.
 

Stickshift stands around watching all of the humans swarm around the base firing off questions. He stands still, worried about squashing one of the curious. He doesn't say much, and barely even follows the question.

[ooc - I'm not going to bother with the sense motive interaction. Stickshift remains oblivious]
