I loved this, Dun. That twist at the end? Priceless. And Kup gets laid. *gryns* Which is awesome.

I like this, I like this a lot. (I voted for this.) I mean, on the one hand, we got Kup getting laid, always an admirable goal.

On the other hand, this is set way, way back in Cybertronian history in a time-period that a lot of people don't write. You both wrote it and made it interesting. I like a lot of the underlying ideas to it - that they called themselves Consumer Goods and Military Hardware, that they're going to buy/steal back their fellows that the Quints sold, etc.

Some of the little details really endeared me: the problems with the external radios and Kup being cross-trained for lots of different work on the ship in case something went wrong. The simple names everyone has. Freight's crack about needing to be kept entertained on the voyage.

Beta rocked muchly.

I got the impression that Lifter is Military Hardware. Right/wrong?
