Stone Heart winced as the whirring turned on. His eye twitched briefly, because he hated high-pitch noises. His Berserker tendencies were animal-like anyway, and many animals were either harmed or affected by high pitched noises. He was no exception. Years of having things constantly explode all around him, being shot at so many times resulting in him listening to his armor ping loudly, always listening to the high pitched sound of Kainde Amedha hissing, and listening to his blades slam into other objects had given him more immunity than someone else of his calibur might. But it still grealty annoyed him.
When the machine that made all the noise had been shrunk, which he was dumbfounded trying to realize how, he was grateful. However, that didn't change the fact that he felt threatened by the huge machine that had come in. His face didn't show it, but his overall positioning showed that he wasn't feeling very calm. His left hand was wrapped around the sheath of his sword, his thumb against the guard, which he had since pushed so that his blade wsa showing. He did not have it unsheathed, but he was prepared to do such.
After a moment of listening, he let go of the sheath. The blade slid back, and his hands fell to his sides so that he wasn't in a threatening stance. He was getting really tense in this place. It was not good for his nerves in the least bit. He needed a drink with a high alchohol content now so that he could get back down from his heightened point. That, or a good fight that he could empty it all out in. He was now pressing against the sides of his head, getting a major headache at the time.

Eet, who is an ancient being and has seen many meaningless battles in her time, exits at the first sign of conflict, returning to her own house.

Terminator wasn't threatened by Megatron at all - He was quite used to Megatron's tactics. He wasn't surprised by the shrinking machine, either. He had built it himself, to shrink Megatron so he would only be ten feet tall and would stop stepping on everyone.
Terminator calmly reached up and whacked Megatron in the neck, hitting one of the main electric cables and causing a temporary short. Megatron let go of Terminator.
"I'm not repairing him", Terminator said. Terminator wasn't a human and wasn't concerned about Lara's probable reactions to the hydraulic fluid coating the carpet. The worst thing that could happen was that Robocop would have to pay for it.

I'll pay you 5,000 gold pieces. No more.

"30,000, Robocop. Take it or leave it.", Terminator said. Kei-Lin put the sofa back in place and started cleaning.

"I'll fix him," Stone Heart said quietly. He was leaning against the wall now. "I'm no technological wizard, but... I did create this eye, and the prosthetics in my leg. So I've got some skill at it. I'll only charge you fifteen thousand, half of what that machine is asking." He scratched his head briefly. "Take it or leave it. Not gonna be a crack job, but it'll have you moving again."

Terminator appeared to glance at Stone Heart, then stare intently at him, but only someone who worked for Skynet would have known what he was really doing - Targeting the being. Then he decided against it; it would draw too much attention to Skynet if he killed a well-known hunter in the house of a well-known raider and infiltrator. But there was so much competition! What did he want more - to not draw attention to Skynet, or to keep one of Skynet's income sources?
Finally, he decided that the only way to deal with the situation at hand was to take money off the bill, then steal it from Robocop later. Of course, Robocop worked for Skynet, so he could probably just have a T-1000 come by and collect the rest of the money later. After all, he didn't need a rumor that a new technician with highly competitive prives had arrived in the neighborhood.
"20,000.", Terminator said. "That's the normal fee. The new guy just does not know how much your maintenance actually costs" Meanwhile, he sent a message to Skynet, telling 3 T-1000s to line up in the road a block away and obstruct traffic. Later, he decided, Robocop would have to go deal with the car crashes, and the T-1000s could collect the other 10,000 gold pieces there.

Terminator? WHy are you always trying to dump me with inexperienced maintenance men? I mean, we're basically brothers, so why? and I work for you free on that demolition-crew group thing too!
I'd pay you now but I know about the T-1000s and if you call them off I'll pay you an extra 300 gold pieces and the 20,000.

Stone Heart felt something wrong, looking in the direction he was sure it was coming from. His cybernetic eye twitched... He was sure that this thing had just done something he didn't like. He curled his hand into a fist for a brief moment, all his knuckles cracking as he did such. I hate machines.
He looked away from the machine. "I have plenty of money to spend on parts. I'll give half the profits to this machine who just gave me some kind of look I really didn't like. He gives me another look like that, though, and I can't guaruntee he'll have a head," he said. His voice let on that he didn't care on way or another. It was an offer, not a contest. But, when the other machine didn't even seem to consider his offer, he shrugged and rolled his eyes. He tried to be nice, make up for what he did, and it resulted in him being ignored and feeling threatened. Great way to make friends and allies...

"I have held your salary from the Demolition crew since you first joined because you never pay your bills", Terminator said. He detected the Yautja's heartbeat quicken and knew that Stone Heart could attack at any moment.
Terminator sent a message to the T-1000s, telling them to abort and go back to Skynet Headquarters, then stay there until further notice.
"Okay, Robocop. I called them off."

(Eet was watching this development with great interest.)

Kei-Lin kneels down and gets to work tightening the wires that were knocked loose upon impact. Being a Weapons specialist for forty human years had taught him a lot about machine repair and maintenance. Terminator, meanwhile, appeared to be playing video games. He was actually running a diagnostic on Robocop to determine the extent of the damage, but to the inexperienced it might have looked like he was playing videogames because of the appearance of the mini-computer that ran the disgnostics.

Adorna comes to invite Stone Heart to either return to Eet's place, or come to Adorna's place, or start a new thread (I really do not want to fight and almost all of the threads are about fighting. Maybe you can come up with something else?)

Eet agrees with the above post. "We are playing Twister at Eet and Kei-Lin's place if you're interested", thinks Eet to StoneHeart.

Stone Heart shrugged. "I'll probably go back there in a while," he said, yawning. He was taking on his lazy look, deciding that he could in this case. He had nothing to do but stand around and watch things at the time, so there was no reason not to. Probably for the sake of the two who had asked him. He hadn't been particularly pleased by being in the company of Kei-lin and all those machines. Too chaotic. "Twister? What's that?"
(I'd like to make note that in real life I know exactly what Twister is. But since I'm in character, and not human in the RPs, I have to say I don't.)
