The Red Dragon was a place you could go to relax after a long day slogging about at your job. Rich or poor, known or unknown. It didn't matter.
You wanted a drink, you got one. You wanted someone to talk to, you got it.
It was a clean establishment though, so nothing dirty happened and any fried glitch-heads were turned over to the security forces. That sorta thing was bad for reputation and business.
That wasn't to say that Ridley didn't have a few business practices that were, perhaps, frowned on... But who could argue when "Femmes Gone Feral" raked in the chits and creds, right?
Speaking of-- Ridley was currently wiping down his bar and checking the till, it was a lull at the moment and what work he got done now meant less to do at closing time.

Miami came up to the building in a rush, transforming back to robot mode as she reached the building. Part of her hoped her new friend was a bit more reasonable about the place then her other old cop friends. Those who still made contact looked at her with different eyes when she said the place wasnt so bad. Most remembered what the staff and owner had done before their pardons. "Come on splinter, drinks are on me." She stated as she held the door open for her.

Splint eyed the place, appraising it, and liking what she saw. "Come here often?" she asked as she switched to bot form and strutted into the Dragon. "And how did I not know about this place?"
She gave the mech behind the bar a nod as she took a seat. "Ener-beer, pitcher and two glasses."

"Oh yeah, I think that's half the reason they took me off the force. Officers don't come here often... owner got a bit of the amnesty going around after Unicron tried to take our world again. I think they don't like the fact a former Protoform Project's allowed to serve alcohol and unlicensed adult holo-videos to the world." Malibou (sorry, name slip the last time) explained as she followed her to the bar. "Hey Ridley... I may have a chance to take you up on that job offer. Competitor's burned down."
She paused for a moment before blinking as she sat down. "Wasn't my doing either, as my friend here can attest." She replied with a smirk. "Even if I did think of it from time to time."

"High speed chase went off road and slag got blown up." Splint explained with a shrug. "Not my doing either."
Sipping her drink Splint shrugged. "So long as they're keeping it mostly below the radar, I don't care what they do. When it hurts innocents, then I have issues."

Ridley grinned as he set down the drinks, Splint taking hers up almost immediately. "Oh really now? Competitor's gone and burned down..." he chuckled, "well it certainly wasn't My doing. As for that job offer... How's this weekend for ya?" he asked curiously, pulling out a data pad

Malibou smiles. "Exactly my words on the subject Splint. Not that it mattered, even then people thought of me as... fishy. Sometimes i think that enhancer dart came from one of our own. But thats being paranoid, right?" She glances over to Ridley with a smirk. "That sounds perfect!" She responds happily. "How are your recruits doing anyways? Ive heard... some things. Some of the more addicted types having trouble adaptin" She asks for a moment, musing. "Cant be worse then the PD is handling with those Autotroopers if today is any proof."

"Eh... it's possible it was. I know bots on the force who are on the take from any number of groups. Heck the Ravage up the ranks is still loyal to the Council more then Law and Order." Splint said as she sipped her drink. "I think today is the first we've seen of their true ability."

Ridley chuckled, "Any problems recruits have, give a kick in the can if they're causin' trouble." he chuckled playfully, "You need an ol' hand at keepin' youngin's in line?"

Miami glanced back to splinter for a moment. "You dont say..." She rubs her chin in thought. "Come to think of it, i was working on a pretty high detailed case when it happened." She looks to ridley for a moment, unsure of wether to continue. "Eh... the slag with it. Not like anyone else will believe me. Remember that explosion on the outskirts of Iacon, the one that took out the old war crime detainees? I found evidence linking it to the Protoform Projects. A number of supplies used for post-war enhancements were shipped to the location several times over... I was going to ask commander marrowulf for access to their archived records when.... this happened
" She motioned to her rack for emphasis. "End up so pumped full of hormones i end up expelled for indecent actions and marrowulf was moved into forced retirement."

Splint narrowed her eyes. "I think my partner's working that case off in her spare time... or something similar to it. I hope she hasn't run into any issues."

Ridley faltered, the tray in his hands with dishes on it rattled in surprise. He turned to look at the two, frowning deeply, "Th' Protoform Projects y'say..." he said with a sort of dangerous quietness, a look in his eyes both distant and predator-like in their focus
"Really now..." he grumbled, a soft whisper-growl

Miami nodded for a moment. "They'd expanded if any of the leads I had found were genuine... Subspace generators, combiner technology.... every little gem of cybertronian ingenuity you could think of had been shipped there, discretely of course. Even the enhancers..." She thought for a moment, rubbing her chin. "Even one of Shockwave's apprentices had disappeared around the same time others had been captured in numbers now that I think of it."
For a moment, Ridley's comm beeped as a crackling response was heard from his compatriot Mindwipe. ~Rids... Gorefoot castle is back. It looks like THEY might be back...~

"Hey, we've run into what may have been a clone of one of those beast wars mutants who's taken a licken and kept ticking. Saw her take a shard of something or other to the spark chamber with no problem.' Splint said with a shrug. her ears perked up at the beeping. "What's going on?"

Ridley grunted, "If you'll excuse me" he brogue softly lilted through the air as he nodded and turned, walking towards the back
>>Them, huh?<< he returned the com-call back, keeping it internal for the moment, >>That can't be good.<<
