Background

In an attempt to keep the Decepticons from using their old undersea headquarters as a base again, Red Alert, Dirge, Arcee, Sureshot and Bumblebee head off to the Nemesis in order to either bug it or destroy it.

IC:

Red Alert shifted around inside Dirge's cramped cargo bay. He didn't like the enclosed space, but he didn't have much choice in the matter.

"If you're ready, Dirge, take off."

The security officer pulled his particle beam rifle out of subspace and began to check the firing mechanisms.

Dirge transformed and flew off without another word.

Red Alert gazed at the rest of his team, a bit of anxiety visible in his optics.

“Everyone, prepare your equipment. We have no idea what we’ll find when we get there."

Sureshot checked over his and Spoilsports power levels.
" All good to go Red alert ." he answered

Arcee · Post by **Arcee** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 12:50 am

Arcee pulled her gun from subspace and checked it. "Ready as I'll ever be," she said, trying to keep a tinge of nervousness out of her voice.

Bumblebee's blue optics looked dim inside the cold cargo bay.

I sure hope this isn't going to be the highlight of the trip

He checked his small gun and sat down.

"Ready!", he said trying to sound enthusiastic.

"Excellent." Red Alert's voice conveyed a positive note that was entirely false. "Stay alert. Dirge, inform us when we're on approach."

Sureshot looked to Spoilsport

" Next time we should convert a 'con who can fly faster." he complained

Red Alert tapped his fingers on the barrel of his rifle.

The Targetmaster has a point...

"Better a bad flight than a good walk," Arcee said, even though in truth, she was feeling as much on edge as the others.

"Yeah but is it going to be worth it. Will the Nemesis actually be there by the time we get there. Maybe sometime in the next millenia?" Bumblebee added trying to add a little humor to a tense situation.

Dirge flew silently towards a remote stretch of ocean.

After a moment, a bridge extended out of the water depths.

"The Decepticon Flagship," the jet said simply. "Prepare yourselves."

The bridge slat opened, and he flew inside.

Red Alert carefully noted the exact location of the extending bridge as Dirge flew into it, in case he needed the information for future reference. He frowned at the mechanical whirring that sounded as the bridge began to retract into the sea. Then, after running one last check on his equipment, he ordered, "Autobots, move out!"

Opening the hatch of Dirge's cargo bay, Red jumped out, shoulder-rolled on landing, and came to rest on one knee. He brought his particle beam rifle up and scanned for hostiles.

"Not the Decepticon flagship anymore," he whispered to himself. "This is Autobot territory now."

Sureshot followed Red Alert through the cargo door, Covering the mission leader.

Quietly he said "OK Red whats the plan?"

Arcee · Post by **Arcee** » Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:55 am

Arcee followed the others out, moving ducked and cautiously, with her gun at the ready.

Bumblebee cautiously jumped out and landed on his feet, although he slightly wobbled a bit, then he looked around for anything suspicious.

Red Alert's impressive sensor arrays could detect no threat in the decending bridge tube.

"Sureshot, Arcee, cover the door." He gestured towards the tube's only entryway. "We have no idea what we'll be greeted with when it opens. Bumblebee, keep your optics open. You'll be able to spot incoming threats before the rest of us."

" Copy that Red." Sureshot replied

DrEvil · Post by **DrEvil** » Tue Sep 21, 2004 5:53 pm

Bumblebee nodded.

"Yes sir" he added, before continuing his check of the area.

Dirge overheard Red Alert's comment, and laughed-unpleasant, to the say the least.

There are some things which should remain to corrode. That one would like to CLAIM this ship? Territory, battle...secondary. The one constant in existence is that of fear, and this ship festers with it. Claim it, indeed!

He transformed to robot mode, and watched them, bleakly amused.
