Help Unwanted

Who: Brainstorm and You!
Where: Brainstorm's Workshop, which is in a slightly-quieter portion of the Cancer district.
Summary: Come Bother the Giant Robot: The Entry.
Warnings: Brainstorm is a jerk.

Unlike most of the inhabitants of Hinoto-Ri, Brainstorm is a touch too large for the given apartments. So he's acquired himself a space that looks more like a hangar than a house, but for someone like him, it works. Most of the time, the door is shut, but today, it is open. It's not that Brainstorm wants company - it's that he expects the other visitors to break their new toys at some point or another. Organics are clumsy things, and much as he loathes to interrupt his own work and research, well. Some things just have to be done, whether he likes it or not.

That, and with spring getting into swing, it's getting warmer, and some days it's easier to just keep the door open.

Those who approach would hear the sound of tools in use - and perhaps be unlucky enough to step up when he's welding, and get a eyeful of terribly bright light. Whatever he's doing when someone draws near, though, he's too busy to notice them.

At the side of the open hangar door is sign with an arrow pointing to a roughly human-scaled stairwell. It zigzags up to a platform that will put anyone who climbs it roughly at Brainstorm's chest level - high enough to not strain their necks, but low enough to still be looked down on. There's a panel on the safety railing with a large palm-sized button on it. A digital display above it displays "Press For Assistance" in multiple languages. It appears to be considerate, but it's mostly to cut down on what he considers annoyances.

"My Trombe is.... Larger than you, but I believe I can get it to work."

That seemed like the more likely option.

"Fascinating. Size manipulation... I wonder if someone at home is working on something like that."

Interesting. And what is the name of your race?

Samus watches him grow her paralyzer to an enormous size curiously... "I've never seen that kind of technology before. I feel as though I should refrain from asking how it works, else I might find myself spending hours trying to wrap my head around it."

Maybe she'll ask about it another time.

The hunter straightens and gives the robot a bit of a shrug. "Compared to... this 'Autobot Code' I presume?"

"Glad you see my point. It'll be nice to have something actually challenging to do." He's going to start messing with more people if he doesn't get something to do soon.

That must have been an interesting day for both Cybertron and Earth alike.

[She can only imagine.]

"... I left the Federation for similar reasons. I was never very keen on following orders. I work better on my own, under my own terms. Though I can't say it's really a question of morality versus a disdain for restriction. Glad to hear you're enjoying your stay, at least."

So he had loose morals... it was an unfortunate trait of many scientists even within the Federation itself. It was those loose morals that unintentionally put her and her fellow bounty hunters at risk to the Phazon within their bodies. But ignorant disregard for moral boundaries wasn't necessarily a trait of evil.

"... What you're saying is, your intentions aren't bad... simply irresponsible." The corners of her lips upturn in a small smirk.

"From what I can tell, you're less content to contribute to the greater good and far more interested in personal gain... Putting others at risk for personal gain, even if your intentions aren't meant to cause harm, is irresponsible. I agree, though... sometimes sacrifices need to be made."

She glances at the emblem on his chest, tapping her hand against the railing a little.

"... That symbol denotes your status as an Autobot?"

He just snorts. "As I said, I developed the demon summoning program for my world. While not identical to what I've seen floating around here, it's very similar."

That's unsurprising. It must have looked like a large-scale alien invasion.

...No, but I should have thought of that.

Oh neat! Can I help? I'd love to see how those things work! I'm very handy with tools! Or at least I was when I was a tank with all those tools in my arm manipulators, but I'm sure I can learn to be just as handy now that I have actual hands!!

Was it a fun vacation-adventure? Did you find those figures you were looking for?
