You chuckled giving your saber a few rest swings around in your servo. You placed the blade in your servo and inspected the blade within your digits. You grinned at the bots pounding on the glass of the door of the escape pod you locked yourself in. Each one had a more angered expression on their face than the last.

You hummed clipping the saber to your hip you adjusted the pirate hat on top your helm and turned fully to them. You clipped the rings you had in your servo to your audios chuckling to yourself as you wandered casually over ignoring the flashing red lights on the other side of the door. Pressing the speaker button you grinned at the captain.

"Eeyellow?~"

"OPEN THE FRAGGING DOOR RIGHT NOW AND YOUR OFFLINING WILL BE SWIFT!" He bellowed angrily

"Now, cap'n, that's nah th' tone ye should use when someone can decide whether or nah ye live passed this moment." You spoke cheekily stroking the feather on your hat.

He punched the glass, "You frag!-" the rest of his yell was cut off as you removed your digit from the button.

You walked over to the control panel and got a robotic reply from the computer about the launch. You looked back at the still furious mech and waved.

"See ye in pits glitch.~" you tantalized

As you took off away from the malfunctioning ship, that's the problem with only having one escape pod someone can chose their onlining over the crew, though this ship only has stasis pods for eight, so either way a majority of the crew wouldn't make it out, but oh well that's not your problem anymore.

The computer flashed telling you it was time to step in the stasis pod. You chuckled slightly clicking up a camera and relining your dermas in a brilliant red color before placing the tube back in your subspace. You clicked off the page and turned back from the control panel. You walked over to the stasis pod.

It opened with a his and you adjusted your bandana and stepped in and turned around so you face out. The door closed and an icy cool set over you. You watched our vents bellow in a heavy cloud before you as your optics began to flutter offline your protoform relaxed and you fell into recharge.

~undetermined about of time later~

The panel door opened with a strained hiss and warm flooded over you. It was almost painful. Your back was flat against the back wall of the stasis pod and it was hard to get vents in your systems. Gripping tightly to the edge of the tube you pulled yourself into the up right position the innards of your tanks threatening to spill out. You gazed around with wide optics at the damaged hull around you. You hoisted yourself from the tube and walked to the control panel.

"Arrgh... 'P-'puter? Are ye thar, where are we?" You murmured rubbing your helm shifting your hat

"Yes ma'am...." there was a long pause filled with static, "....We are currently on an organic planet labeled as "Earth" more specifically an area referred to as "Detroit"." The robot voice replied

"huh? Arth? Detroit? Who comes up wit' these ludicrous names?!... don't answer that. How long was I out?" You asked rubbing your temples slightly

There was a long pause of static, "A period of approximately four decacron. (Roughly forty years)" your face dropped

"thar be no way in pits I was out that long! ARGH! I can nah possibly..." you took a deep vent " 'puter was th' statis o' th' ship? In workin' condition?"

Almost instantly several schematics popped up and you sighed stressfully. You began to scan though each one reading what was wrong. You got a sinking feeling in your chassis. It felt at though you won't here alone. You slowly slipped your left hand to the handle of your saber. You looked out of the corner of your optics waiting. Right on quote it the spinning blades were thrown. You sprang into motion pulling the saber from his holder and colliding it with the spinning blade slicing it in half and with fluid motion you knocked the other away.

You watched as it clattered to the floor and blocked a kick to the helm with your blade. You chuckled at the mech as he jumped back you sliced the blade down through the air leaving it low by the ground.

You grinned, "Prowler! Long time no see!"
