[ Watching as Trident returns to the tower...arms crossed, looking outward. Darma knows exactly what he did. ] [ As much as he tries to save other people, he can't stop Trident's wrath once it's been stirred. ] [ ...And in cases like these, he wonders if it's even worth it. ]

H-hey, I'm not sayin' you CAN'T come with. More the merrier I say. [ Really, he was just taking Maestro's feelings into consideration due to their...past with the fucker /inside/ of the temple. ] Do you wanna come?

[ Blink blink. ] Eh? You're comin' with?

[ Darma thinks it's a good idea too. Though in reality it's probably not that good. ] Good. I know where it's at, so I'll just drop it off there. All I gotta do is fly. ...Really hoping the bear doesn't wake up mid flight.

Hm... ...guess I'll just have to find another forest. Hard to say where I could - Oh! That temple place has a forest around it.

Yeah. I can't tell Trident either, because he's more than likely to destroy it if it poses a threat to any of the robots at the sanctuary.

I don't, but if a less capable robot comes to the tower and the bear starts lookin' at it like it's a toy... ...you see where I'm gettin' at?

.....Not to us? But I know they've mauled /humans/ a lot.

I found a bear. [ Holding it higher now. ] I knocked it out, but I don't know what to do with it now. Can't have it around the tower, 'cuz it might maul a weaker robot. Any ideas?

[ Darma turns, as if looking around to see where he can put the thing, until he makes contact with Maestro. ] Oh, Maestro, good timing. [ The bear is held over his head like it would when it's trying to attack. Except it's just being puppeted by Darma. ]

[ Carrying the corpse of a black bear around over his head. He doesn't know what to do with it. ]

...Wonder if my old squad is still alive. [ Probably not. ] [ Don't hope too much, Darma. It leads to some horrific scenarios. ]

[ Standing against the tower's wall, just outside of the entrance, his large blade resting upon his shoulder. It seems as if he's resting. ]

Treasure it. ...you think he'll come back?

[ Their optic blinks as they process the wisp for that split second it was there. And here, Darma thought Maestro had only their vast arsenal up their sleeve... ] Huh. Pretty cool... [ A nod of approval. ]
