Hey, that wasn't there before...

[cityship]

Since time immemorial (or at least since before any of the crew members have been awake) there has stood a massive...thing...against one of the walls in Special Weapons Division.

It looked like some sort of large, alien device, though none of the engineering crew could ever figure out what it was for.

However, since it wasn't really harmful, nor did it seem particularly useful, no one ever really paid much attention to it.

Or maybe the mods needed a lame excuse for what's coming next so STFU

However, it is not so much this strange device that was of interest to anyone in the area right now.

No, instead, they might find the sudden sound of whirring machinery and the general sounds of technology activating coming from the wall behind the device that might get their attentions.

...Hmm. Isn't that interesting?

...misplaced his body. That was certainly new. Now that their new friend is out of their pod, Mei Ling supposes she should go along with the crew regardless of whether or not she actually wanted to release him.

"Okay," she says, giving a slow, small nod to Rudy. She nervously puts both her hands on the container and tips it over for him.

As the container tips over, a mass of what appears to be liquid metal spills out onto the ground. The liquid seems to come together into one, hemispherical mass.

The little spider-brain-bot rather nonchalantly jumps into the mass, and there's another shloop! sound as the mass now forms--a la Terminator 2--into this (http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1934/4177720060520022432larghn1.jpg).

The now-properly-embodied Rudy turns to Mei Ling, giving her a polite nod.

"Thank you, miss."

That was certainly unexpected. Mei Ling stands with her mouth agape for a few very long seconds before managing to spit out a few words.

"No problem."
