Outside the base


"I think I remember now. Give me a shuttle or I detonate the other bombs." said Bug Bite.


(OOC: Guys, it's bad enough that he's stuck in a tractor beam and there's God knows how many AA turrets firing at him without Scorponok and Hooligan firing at him.)

Hangar Bay 17

"Actually, based on the recent broadcasts downgrading Gigatron and- my optics picked up an explosion in the lab. Damage is slight or moderate to the large superstructure of the Fearless, but repairs will take time."

(OOC: -blackout- Imperial shuttles are massive, and can obliterate entire cities. With the Autobots, a blood-hungry Barricade and Scorponok in play, Bug Bite's outnumbered, so I suggest he surrender (or teleport away. He's a mad scientist, so he should've a backup teleporter stored somewhere.))
_________________________

Barricade rushed towards the bridge in vehicle mode, "Raise the forcefields!"

"The explosion disabled the field reactors, Barricade," an officer said.

"Tractor beams! Get a lock on him!" Barricade commanded.
_________________________

Outside

A tractor beam started pulling Bug Bite towards the Fearless. If tractor beams could pull entire warships, it should've no problem pulling a minibot. AA fire started chewing up the ground around the Minibot

Just outside the base


"Oh, why am I bothering? I'll just do.....this." said Bug Bite, and disappeared in a flash of light.


(OOC: And, thus, Polyhex, here I come! :D)

Bridge

Barricade watched as the Bug Bite was pulled closer by the tractor beam... he smiled devilishly as Hooligan and Scorponok joined in the battle. "Cease fire." He said to the Decepticons manning the turrets. "They can take care of this. Dispatch a team to repair the forcefields and-"

Barricade watched as Scorponok reached out with one claw, ready to clamp Bug Bite's midsection, before the Minibot promptly disappeared in a flash of light. "NOOOO!" Barricade howled in rage.

After composing himself, Barricade opened a comm to Gigatron, "My deepest apologies, Lord. Bug Bite had escaped with a teleporter. I take full responsibility for his escape, and will accept any punishment given."
_______________________

Scorponok looked at his empty claw, which clamped over the space Bug Bite resided nano-kliks ago. It appears he used some sort of teleportation device.

Scorponok transformed into his robot mode, and caught sight of Hooligan. "Greetings, soldier. What happened? And-" the ex-Headmaster spied what looked like the Autobot shuttle/ego-bird Sky Lynx in a hangar. "Autobots?"

Ruins of Bug Bites lab

Deluge stood up and brushed himself down.

"that was close , I wonder what mad bombers did before the advent of digital timers?"

~*~

Gigatron strode towards the Autobots.
He opened a com link

"make good the damage Barricade, Bug Bite was a loose cannon he just happened to go off on your watch."

Fearless

"Yes lord." Barricade answered, relieved that he won't receive any punishment. "Come on. Let's clean the mess up." He said to the other Decepticons on the Bridge.

Monocole watched as Gigatron moved closer. "Decepticon Emperor Gigatron." Monocole said, saluting. "It is an honour to meet you." The Perceptor-lookalike's enhanced optic began scanning the Decepticons arriving for any concealed weapons.

"Lord Gigatron, it's me, Scorponok. Requesting permission to come aboard." The general said, as he made his way towards the Fearless.

Gigatron listened to his com link

"Excellent, welcome aboard. Report to Barricade he is Duty officer and will help you get settled in."

~*~



Gigatron surveyed the Autobots

"You have me at a disadvantage Autobot. I do not think we have met before?"

"watch me in social action" skylynx said to springer as he swallowed his fears and stood up high, " AH YES! hello, you must be gigatron, nice to meet you my name is skylynx! legendary autobot of the skies!" skylynx said chuckling, " I believe that it is an honor to be within such a room as yourself, so my frineds, springer and monocole have something to ask you and I'm sure such a brilliant godly man like yourself would be happy enough to help us, and whom knows maybe we would be able to help you with some of your problems as well!" sky lynx turned to springer and gave him a wink and a thumbs up.

ooc: Sky Lynx has thumbs? lol

Hangar Bay 17

Springer slaps his forehead and then shakes his head. "Sky Lynx. Don't tell Gigatron what we are going to do here. Only tell him if he asks for it. We have to be careful about what, when and how we say anything. It's like you have the processing capability of a protoform sometimes."

Springer turns his head towards Gigatron. "It seems that you had a little problem? We choose not to get involved, because we didn't know what was going on and didn't want to violate the truce."

***

Octane followed Gigatron to Hangar Bay 17 and approached the Autobots. "It's a good thing the situation with Bug Bite is over, my Lord. For now at least. I hope it does not slow down anything."

"My designation: Monocole. Affiliation: semi-neutral Autobot." Monocole replied to Gigatron. "Former Wrecker leader Springer and Lieutenant Commander Sky Lynx wishes to discuss something with you. These with us are Topspin and Powerglide, as our... escorts. You know." The Perceptor look-alike stepped backwards, letting Springer and Gigatron see optic-to-optic.
_______________________

Scorponok replied to Gigatron, "At once, Lord."

The general gestured to Hooligan in a not too unfriendly way, "Thank you for the help, Cyberjet. If you would be so kind, please follow me." Scorponok resented taking orders from another mech — let alone a Micromaster — but this is exactly his point. Each Decepticon doesn't want to obey the command line, so they are plunged into chaos. Might as well as set an example.

Without waiting for his smaller comrade, Scorponok walked with great strides into the Fearless, making his way towards the Bridge. Spying the tiny blue Micromaster barking orders at the surrounding mechs, Scorponok smiled. Barricade. I remember him. 'Win at all costs'. He's a capable mech. "Scorponok, reporting for duty." The ex-Headmaster boomed, jolting Barricade into attention.

"General? It's... a pleasure to see you alive and well. We thought... you went missing after Polyhex, sir." Barricade said, tottering towards Scorponok.

Scorponok's scowl twisted into a half-smile, and he reached down a massive claw. "Hop on, Duty Officer. You'll get more respect on the shoulder of a larger mech. And you'll be less likely to be stepped on." Barricade grimaced, but nevertheless scrambled up Scorponok's shoulder. "Now tell me what happened."

Barricade began, to the benefit of Scorponok, and presumably Hooligan as well. "It's a routine day, and the Autobots... Springer et al... wants to discuss something with the big G. About the Imperials. It all went well... No shoot-outs, no beat-downs... yet. Suddenly, this Bumblebee knockoff, Bug Bite, attacks poor old Deluge and threatened to kill him. I cut power to his lab, and he inserted a virus into our computer system, and set up a bomb. One casualty, two injured, and he ruined our force field generators, a few corridor turrets and blew up a few holes in our walls. Then he escaped through your clutches, general."

Scorponok grunted. "Other officers here? Who are they? I must know who to report to."

"The usual... Bludgeon, Leozak, Trypticon, Wingspan, Venom..." Barricade began.

"A duty roster and a map. May I be so bold as to request a copy?" Scorponok said with an edge of sarcasm to his voice, but to show the mechs around that he has manners. His voice did carry an underhint that said if things happened otherwise, poeple will get hurt.

Barricade shrugged, and uploaded the requested data to Scorponok's mind.

Hanger Bay 17

Octane looks over at the distance and sees that the situation that Bug Bite created has been resolved. Ah, good. Octane thinks. If that situation got out of hand, the Autobots might have thought it to be a trap.

As Octane approaches Springer and the rest of the group. "That's some merry band of misfits you have gathered there, Springer. Aside from Topspin, these are not the Autobots I would have expected you to be here with you. Especially not Sky Lynx." Octane said jokingly.

Springer is obviously not amused by Octane's remarks. "Funny. I don't remember you being downgraded to a comedy 'bot, Octane. Even though Sky Lynx talks more than he has energon reserves, he's one of the best soldiers you can have on your side. Same goes for the rest. Unlike some of the men you have here in Crystal City it seems. Or was that what we just saw a small misunderstanding?"

Octane smirks. "That is none of your concern, Springer. That is Decepticon business and you're not a Decepticon."Octane stands next to Gigatron. "Now, state your business or leave. Be glad that I was willing to help you with getting into Crystal City safe."

Springer's optics narrow as he looks at Octane. He knows that Octane is up to something. That, or he is just trying to look good in the optics of Gigatron by acting the way he does. "Hmm... Very well. Gigatron... Let's talk business."

Fearless

Hooligan scrambled behind Scorponok, following the larger mech into the Bridge. The ex-Headmaster talked with Barricade, who debriefed Scorponok (and by extension, Hooligan as well) on the current events. "Ah. Yes. Where can I be of help?" Hooligan asked when Barricade is done.

While Springer is waiting for a reply from Gigatron, he looks around. In the distance, he sees smoke rising from a big hole in the Fearless. Hmm.. It would seem that the exostructure and outerplating isn't that tough to penetrate. He thinks.

That would mean that the energy shielding is powerful. However, that usually means that they spend too much energy on the shielding. A constant attack on their shields could deplete its energy rapidly. Taking a ship down after that would be easy... I need to have this confirmed. As soon as I have the chance, I'll ask Monocole for a full scan.

Springer looks back at Monocole and winks. He doesn't expect Monocole to pick up on his signals since they haven't been in the same unit before. He could signal Topspin, but it wouldn't be wise to signal anybody to do anything right now, with Gigatron and Octane standing so close. So Springer waits. He waits until he finds the chance to do so.

Hangar Bay 17

Springer smiles a little, though it's hardly noticable. "So, right down to business, eh? Fine by me." Springer takes a few steps back to come off less intimidating and lowers his arms.

"I have come here, because you and I have the same goal, Gigatron. Like you, I want to do something about those Imperial ships that are occupying Cybertron space. I have been told that you are the only 'bot with enough bolts on this planet that is planning on doing something about that."

Springer looks around. "I have come here to learn. I want to learn as much as I can about these Imperial ships that you have in your possesion. Because if the Imperials ever decide to attack, I want to be prepared and I am sure that you and your Decepticons are not enough to take on all of them," he says as he points towards the sky.

Springer looks at Octane, who's following this conversation very closely. Springer then looks back at Gigatron. "Now I am sure that you are not going to part with any information just like that. I have heard that your ranks have been quite depleted lately, so .... maybe we can form some kind of a deal?"

Gigatron looked at Springer

"Your intelligence is a little flawed. The Imperials are not as yet in Cybertron space. If they were we would know about it. For some reason they are leaving Cybertron alone but this cannot last. My vision is to build an orbiting shipyard with which to build ships with which to fight the Imperials. If you are all to stay with us here then Sky Lynx would be most useful. What I really need is engineers, mechs to extract the raw material from the Asteroid belt and eventualy crews. I am quite happy to share intelligence on Imperial Ship Classes with the exception of the class the Fearless belongs to, for reasons that are obvious. I am quite happy to work with you, my feelings is that we must all work together or all die seperately when the Imperials invade unfortunatey few have the foresight to share this vision."

Hangar 17

Skylynx started thinking "yes, these imperials sound like that third or fourth party that seems that could destroy this place! WE NEED TO MAKE THIS BATTLE STATION, ship place thing" he said triumphantly, "sure we are on oposite sides but i believe if we were to construct a battlestation or shipyard, we can be prepared against an attack that could happen anywhere at anytime! we could call it, auto con cybertron shipyards or botco..." skylynx saw the look on most of the robots as he abruptly stopped "or maybe not well ill leave the names to you guys, anyway continue"

Monocole nodded, and his larger optic began to twist and zoom in and out. "It appears there has been an explosion in your ship? Are you not concerned?" He said to no one in particular, but it is clear his question is directed to Gigatron and Octane.

Bridge

Barricade gave orders to a group of technicians, "Go go go! Repair the damage to the force-fields! Deluge will be in charge of reconstruction!" opening a comm channel to Crankcase and Skullgrin he said, "Situation is contained, Bug Bite had escaped. Sorry to bother you guys."

Scorponok noticed with a hint of amusement that for such a tiny being, Barricade is somehow capable of coordinating so many people. It reminded him of his days as Decepticon leader...

"You don't like to lose." Scorponok noted, still scowling.

"It's what I'm built for. I'm a perfectionist." Barricade said, before snapping another order to the technicians. Scorponok shrugged, which made Barricade hold on for support on Scorponok's shoulder.

"If the lord Gigatron does not want you near The Fearless, then you shall respect that!" Octane replied to Monocole. "What happened on the Fearless does not concern you."

"Hey, take it easy, Octane" Springer said. "Monocole meant nothing by it." Springer turns to Gigatron. "Well, it's a good thing that I came here then. I needed some of my intel confirmed and I am glad you just did that for me."

Springer takes a moment to think. Gigatron seems awefully eager to accept our help. Could it be that he is desperately low on manpower or could it be something else? Maybe Sky Lynx was right. Maybe something is a little off. He is right, however. If we work together, we will stand a better chance against a possible attack. Gigatron is positive that they will attack so we better learn what we can as soon as possible...

"Alright, Gigatron. Information in exchange for our assistance. You got it. Powerglide and Sky Lynx can help you with transportation if needed and we'll assist in any way we can."

Springer turns around to his fellow Autobots. Topspin, gathering information on the ships weaponry will be your task, if you are up for it. Monocole, I would like you to gather information on the ships defences." Springer turns around again to Gigatron. "With your permission of course." Springer says with a smile.

"I'm game." Topspin said to Springer. "Just need a tour guide." He said, looking at Gigatron.
