Extinction Agenda: Phase 1 (Earth)
(Earth Stuff here kiddies)
(OOC: Well, hoo-dee-do!)
Soundwave watched carefully. As though expected, he had automatically defaulted to overseeing the Constructicons' work on Scorponok. Granted, Soundwave himself very well could have helped; but that would not very well serve his image as the leadership element of the city. His thoughts were snipped by Scourge's announcement.
Hmm... The forces are running thin. Too much work to do, not enough manpower.
Soundwave took a few steps away from the table and turned to open his chest. Frenzy popped out, followed by Buzzsaw and Ravage.
"Go help Scourge if you would, boys. I'll send Rumble over when he's done recovering."
Ravage nodded somberly and began to stalk off. Frenzy watched slyly, before diving through the air and onto Ravage's back. He yipped a few times, as a bullrider, before Ravage smashed the robot's head against a nearby wall and threw him off. Frenzy stumbled to his feet and scrambled after his colleagues; Soundwave palmed his face. Trying to forget the charade, he turned his attention to Rumble, a few tables over, still below concious. Next to him were the Reflector brothers, in the process of helping Spectro from his table.
"Excuse me, you three. Would you be kind enough to follow my associates there and help Scourge with his project? He seems short on troops."
The brothers glanced at each other, moreso Spectro. His arm was only half-functional presently. Spyglass turned his head to Soundwave.
"But he's --"
Soundwave showed no compassion.
"Ready to help," Viewfinder chimed in. "That's what he is."
The three shuffled off after the cassettes.

OOC: Scourge is in the command centre, not his office.
Scourge nodded curtly to the seekers and Insecticons as they entered the command centre. He was still unsure as to whether the jets could be trusted, but seeing as the matter at hand was so important, he had no choice.
"Now," he started, "as you may know, we're modifying Metrotitan to enable flight in his battle station mode - the form that he's currently in."
He tapped a console, bringing up a schematic on one of the monitors.
"One main thruster will deliver thrust while in space, while microthrusters will control direction. Currently two units of Metrodrones are working on these, with more to join them soon. However, inside an atmosphere, we will be using the anti-gravity pods already installed inside Metrotitan, that let him fly in robot mode. However, these will need to be rerouted and modified so that they can be used in his current form. This is what I want you to do. The 'Drones can't handle this sensitive work. Questions?"

Scorponok was mentally adjusting his files...his transformations sequence was completely updated and now all that needed to be finished was the Zarak body.
Soon...my vision will be complete and my position within Galvatron's forces shall be assured!
Scorponok smirked...for once this was completed he himself would be complete for the first time.

Scourge nodded as the new arrivals entered the Ops room.
"Ah, more help. Frenzy, you and the cassettes will assist with constructing the main thruster rocket, and you Reflector will work on the microthrusters."
Without waiting for a reply, Scourge turned around to the console.
"Spinister and Needlenose, report to the Command Centre at once."
"Right away boss man."
"At once."
***
Spinister smiled slightly, as he headed for the command centre. Finally, no more guard duty - and hopefully a slightly more interesting task to come.
Needlenose smiled at Lastrites.
"You heard the boss, I have to go now. See you around."
He whirled around, and left the room, whistling as he left.

Lastrites gets up, a tad surprised.
Obviously they didn't consider her as big a threat as they did originally for she was, for the first time without having anybody watching over her.
She was sooo going to take advantage of this situation, finishing up her programming in the staff.
She was almost done anyways....there completed
Now to jack it into herself, to shield and cloak her mind...completed.
Now since they wanted to bring her to the control room, who is she to argue with their destination?
She also kept one ear opened in case this was some sort of test and she is being watched.
Razorclaw glanced at Onslaught, grinning behind his mask. "I ordered my team to help with the constructions to get this mountain of steel ready for spaceflight, though it is more than likely they do more harm than help."
"As for Astrotrain... I still can't believe he was smart enough to get himself to command this monstrosity of ours... Aah... it is not important. The question is how we get our plans to motion..."

Reflector nodded to Scourge militarily and trotted off. The cassettes glanced at each other, then back at Scourge, before heading out through another door. They stopped just outside the command center; Frenzy looked around to make sure no one would be listening in on him.
"You, uh... You guys know anything about construction?" he wondered.
Ravage shook his head slightly, somewhat embarrassed. Buzzsaw, now set on the ground, cocked his head up at Frenzy and humphed.
"It can't be all that difficult. We're Decepticons!"
Frenzy shrugged in unargumentative agreement. (Ravage merely rolled his eyes.) And the three Cassetticons headed for the rear of the battlestation.

Dirge and Thrust silently followed Ramjet and the Insecticons. Construction and modifications weren't their forte, but they'd do as ordered.
****
Onslaught's optics flashed slightly. Had he been without a faceplate, the Combaticon commander would also have betrayed his emotion. Razorclaw was more engaging that Onslaught had originally thought. Working together would be interesting and enjoyable.
"True. We'll simply present our plans. Astrotrain should be in the command center. Shall we take our troops and present our plan?"

OOC: I'm assuming Astrotrain is in the command centre, correct me if I'm wrong
Once the room was clear, Scourge turned to Astrotrain.
"Commander, much as it pains me to say this, I have a feeling that we'll need more energy in the upcoming war than Fadakki alone can provide. I believe that we'll need to somehow garner the support of all the Earth nations to prevent this threat. However, we are still Decepticons, and I'm not sure if the Earth people would give us the energon willingly."
He paused a second.
"I'm not adverse to taking it by force, but the Autobots may be, so we'll need alternatives. I believe that there are some Autobots in this system at the moment, who may be able to help?"
At that moment, Spinister and Needlenose entered.
"Ah excellent. My task for you two is thus. Hopefully soon, we will be recieving more materials and energy from Earth nations other than Carbombya. Your task will be to co-ordinate this effort, and to collect the energon personally if nessesary. You may use my office."
"As you order, Scourge," Spinister said quietly, but secretly he was elated. Finally an important task to complete, one that demanded trust from his commander.
"We won't let you down boss," Needlenose affirmed, thinking more or less the same thoughts.
"See that you don't," Scourge replied, "now go."
The two Targetmasters quickly left the room, and Scourge turned back to the City Commander.
"Now, as we were discussing..."

OOC: Yep. Astrotrain's still there.
Astrotrain steepled his fingers, and silently watched Scourge converse with the Targetmasters. He spoke after hearing the Huntsman's proposal.
"I trust your judgement on this matter. I believe you are correct. But I am loathe to go to the Autobots to fuel our own war machine. A simple plea should be sufficient: broadcast our message to the Earth Defense Command-or whatever Earth body is in charge at the moment, and tell them exactly what is going on."
He shrugged.
"The time for deception is over, Scourge. As the humans say, "Talk is cheap." By demonstrating our frankness, perhaps they will be convinced. If they will not give us what we require, I want you to take your minions and extract from them by force what we require. But I think the humans will realize this manuever will save most of sentient life in the Universe from Unicron and the Liege."

"Perhaps I could be of service, gentlemen."
Lastrites entered the room in a surprisingly direct manner.
"I have been told I can be very convincing, and you need my light touch in dealing with these fleshies."
"More importantly, I have not been involved in many of the plots that might make the fleshies...apprehensive."
"You said you need to verify if I was sincere...well this looks like a good a test as any."
"Besides, decepticon warriors needn't sully their hands with politics."

"Why its rather simple really."
"The first thing we need to do, is extend some sort of olive branch, get them something they want, but in such small quantities that they beg for more."
"We then use this position to get diplomatic talks going and explain our position. We let them know about the great threat and how without our help they don't stand a chance...which is pretty much true."
"We then use their good will and slowly begin to milk the resources we require in return for this product. We slowly up the addictiveness of this product until we have everything and they have nothing."
"As for this product, I believe we have both the solution to our energy and diplomatic situations."
"I was reading some of the fleshies bio-files and read about a plant called CANNABIS INDICA. It seems to make its imbiders very complacant. More importantly, it can be used to generate methanol in high enough quantities to generate sizable amounts of energon for our own purposes. The plant is resistant and appears to be able to generate an extremely high yield over time, for long term energy use."
"With a little genetic tweaking, I believe we can provide them an offer they can't refuse. We'll increase the addictive qualities and increase the potency to make them docile and compliant... into sheep to be used and discarded at will."
