Log edited with Logedit 2.6.9pl on Mon Aug 25 11:39:03 EDT 1997 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scamper enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Scamper walks into the area. Ultra Magnus says, "Attention Earth Autobots...please report immediately to the command center in Autobot City." Processor enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. First Aid enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Daredevil enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Processor looks around, then sits on the floor, his head going down as the plate with the autobot symbol folds down revealing a monitor, it comes up and out, his legs connect together, and his arms fold upwards, the keyboard moving slightly off of his left arm, as he finishes his transformation into a Main Frame Computer. Slag comes walking in. He stands at the side of the door and crosses his arms, he grins before just randomly asking, "When we go mash Ceptic-cons and make onder water ting go Boom? Slag like boom!" Scur-Vee has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . Gar-Bage enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Scamper stands near the door, watching the room, closely. Transmission from Steve Michaels: EDC Forces are standing by. Contact us when you are prepared. Gar-Bage klunks in, waving to all, then plopping down into a seat. Ultra Magnus smiles toward Slag with a slight chuckle, "Very shortly, Slag." He turns around and enters several command codes into the main computer, navigating through several onscreen displays. DepthCharge enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. DepthCharge walks into the area Viper enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Viper strides in, looking over everything carefully. Gar-Bage says, "Hey DC! What's happenin'?" You transmit a message to Steve Michaels: Acknowledged. Have you been informed with the general premise behind what is planned? Daredevil pokes his head back in. "Anybody seen my photon pistol? I, um, kinda lost it, I guess." He looks around the command center thoughtfully, making sure he hadn't missed it during his search around the room previously Scamper looks over at the Junkion and nods. Jetfire waves at everyone as they come in. And that's a lot of people! Transmission from Steve Michaels: We draw them off and engage them, your people go in once they're engaged and destroy the base. DepthCharge raises a hand in greeting to all the Autobots and the Junkion and says, "Hi Everyone." D.C. then looks towards Gar-Bage and says, "You name it, it is happening." with a slight smile. Gar-Bage chuckles Scur-Vee enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Scur-Vee walks into the area, scowling. Gar-Bage says, "Scur!" Scur-Vee looks around as he poles his head in the door. "Arr, be this th'place?" Jetfire says, "It is indeed! C'mon!" Ultra Magnus turns around from the computer console and looks to everyone, "Greetings, everyone. Please go ahead and come and find a place to stand. We're still waiting for a few others to arrive." He nods his head toward Jetfire, motioning him over. Scamper turns to leave, "I'll go get Grimlock, he is still outside." Scur-Vee steps the rest of the way into the room, and takes a place next to Gar-Bag. Scamper leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. DepthCharge raises a hand in greeting to Scur-Vee as he enters. Transmission from First Aid: Shouldn't we go to the meeting room? First Aid transmits a message via radio. Jetfire clunks over. A Main Frame Computer rolls up in a small corner next to Teletran II and plugs into Teletran II. Ultra Magnus says calmly, "This location is sufficient, First Aid. It also allows easy communication to Cybertron" Ultra Magnus leans over the radio console. He says, "Let me patch a brief relay through to Rodimus Prime." Ultra Magnus pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. Your message is transmitted to Rodimus Prime. It reads: "Greetings, Rodimus. I am starting to assemble troops here in Autobot City. I recommend sticking to direction long-range communication as much as possible in order to avoid possible interception of important broadband messages." Scamper enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Scamper walks into the area. Scamper walks in and stands near the door looking the room over. James Trent has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . Scamper glances at the monitors, "Great...." Black Ferrari has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . Ultra Magnus turns around from the console. He looks toward the gathered Autobots and allies and says, "The Decepticons have been pressing forward in their attack for quite some time. This strike, right now, is our collaborative effort to hit them with a crushing blow. You have all been working on training maneuvers throughout the past weeks in order to try to prepare yourselves." Scur-Vee crosses his arms, narrowing his good optic. . o O (Training maneuvers?) Ultra Magnus turns around and look toward the the screen behind him. Depicted on it is a deep space image of a small, burnt-out planet. "The Decepticons have focused a lot of their attention lately on Darkmount and their base here on Earth. Their installation on Charr is relatively undefended. It is there that we will mount the frontal assault." Ultra Magnus glances back toward the screen. "Through utilization of the plans obtained by Processor, we hope to be able to activate the space bridge, bypass its standard systems, and jump directly to the very interior of the Decepticons' undersea base." The image behind him flashes to a picture of the outside of the city and the bay. "I will need troops here to begin an initial attack from the ocean surface in conjunction with some terran exo-forces." Daredevil leans forward attentively, nodding occasionally. . o [ Aw well, who needs a laser pistol anyway. ] Ultra Magnus looks toward Jetfire. He straightens his posture and says, "Jetfire, can you lead and direct the forces here on Earth?" That player is not connected. Slag pulls his laser rifle out. He looks at it and twirls the gun he loses his grip as it hits the ground with a *clank* on the metal floor but with luck he didn't shut the saftey off. He rolls his optics around attempting to play inoccent. Scur-Vee looks distracted as he pays attention to the Junkion Broadband Channel. Gar-Bage stands, "Dammit Magnus I'm a doctor not a soldier! Sorry, I've gotta go. Good luck on the mission, call me when you need a doctor. Happy trails." Scamper glares at the Junkion. DepthCharge raises a hand in fairwell to the Junkion. Ultra Magnus tilts his head to stare at Gar-Bage. He smiles politely, then looks back to Jetfire for an answer. Slag waves franticly to Gar-Bage leaves, "Slag bash Ceptic-cons for Junkon!" Jetfire says, "Magnus, ALL of earth's forces? Land, air, and sea?" Gar-Bage glares back at Scamper, waves back at DC, then smiles politely back at UM as he klanks noisily out the door. Ultra Magnus replies, "Not exactly. I will take infiltration and special operatives with me into the shuttle on the flight to Charr. I will need you to command the forces here to direct the surface attack on the base." Connected players on that channel are: Jetfire, Sky Lynx, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime Gar-Bage leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Slag bends down and picks his gun up. He shunts it away and places his hands behind his back. Ultra Magnus asks again, "Can you do that, Jetfire?" Scur-Vee erks at the broadband radio. Jetfire says, "I do believe it is within my operating parameters. I will do my best, sir." Scur-Vee raises his hand tentatively. Transmission from Edward Bryant: Edward draws in a slight breath, "Air corridor through Asia has been secured. Autobot Command, do you copy that?" Information scrolls across the monitor of the main frame computer. Ultra Magnus smiles and says, "Excellent! I will need you to take several Autobots and Junkions to provide surface support. You will all be the ones to initiate the first stages of the attack. That action will hopefully further throw the Decepticon forces into confusion once we strike Charr." Ultra Magnus looks over to Scur-Vee, "Yes?" Scur-Vee says, "May I be excused Teacher? I hafta make a phone call..."" You transmit a message to Edward Bryant: Acknowledged, EDC. Authorization to commence will be delivered shortly. Transmission from Edward Bryant: EDC Copies. Relaying now. Transmission from Processor: FX and Whiteline have recalled all the Junkions. Processor transmits a message via radio. Ultra Magnus nods toward Scur-Vee. He looks around to the others. "I will need several of you to come iwth me on the shuttle to Charr. The rest of you will stay here with Jetfire. Processor, if you could please go ahead and explain the details of what you will be doing..." Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Air corridor through Asia has been secured. All units for mobility manuveurs, start preparing." Scur-Vee walks over to the extended radio equipment. Slag says, "Slag go wit Ultra Magnet to oder planet!" Jetfire nods solemnly, allowing the light to catch his now blood-red optic. DepthCharge raises a hand, hoping to ask a question. First Aid raises his hand. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Affirmative. All troopers to standby alert." Ultra Magnus says calmly, "DepthCharge? First Aid?" DepthCharge asks, "Just wondering, will the Typhoon be in the main attack againt the base, or will it be in reserve just incase it is needed to get you all out from the base?" Across the monitor of the main frame computer you see: All please pay close attention to my screen Information for using the spacebridge if anything happens to me will be showing. First Aid says, "Who will be with the medics at AC?" Slag looks at the screen, he narrows his optics as he slowly attempts to read the words. Ultra Magnus smiles toward DepthCharge. "A little bit of both, actually," he replies. Access codes, operation codes, and other things scroll on the screen. Ultra Magnus replies to First Aid, "The city defenses will be places on full alert." DepthCharge nods and then looks towards Processor's screen. Scamper nods at Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus turns to Processor. Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Do not launch until you have mark from Autobot Command." EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Affirmative." Scur-Vee hrms, and scratches his head. "This ain't workin'. I'll jess go to KNUJ an' phone home from there..." Scur-Vee turns to head out the door. Transmission from Processor: Militants are doing a sweep of the bay, and are suspicious of the corridor over Asia. Processor transmits a message via radio to Ultra Magnus. You transmit a message to Processor: Thank you. Please keep me updated. Processor receives a radio transmission. Scur-Vee leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Scur-Vee has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . Information on how to operate the bridge is given, then the scrolling ends. Hopefully nothing will happen to me, but just in case I felt that information would help Transmission from Processor: Any humans going with us? Processor transmits a message via radio to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus looks around. "Daredevil, Slag, and Processor...you all will accompany me on the shuttle. The rest of you are with Jetfire. DepthCharge, I would like you to take command of the Typhoon." You transmit a message to Processor: Yes, I have several EDC personnel waiting to provide assistance. Processor receives a radio transmission from Ultra Magnus. Slag says, "Oooh Slag fly shuttle!" DepthCharge nods and says, "Okay Magnus, I promise to keep it all in one piece." Transmission from First Aid: Who is in command of AC when the others leave? First Aid transmits a message via radio to Ultra Magnus. Transmission from Processor: Trent will be running patrols between Cairo and Eastern Europe. Processor transmits a message via radio. Ultra Magnus steps over. He mutters to Jetfire, "I... his... with..." Jetfire senses "Ultra Magnus steps over. "I will radio commander Steve Michaels of the EDC and his exo-troopers. Please cooperate with him fully and let his troops help."" Jetfire nods in acknowledgement. "Yes sir." Transmission from Yosef Friedman: This is Ambassador Friedman from the UN. I just saw SOMETHING sneak into Autobot city. Looked like a metal coyote. Ultra Magnus says calmly, "Caern will be in control of Autobot City until we return. Please make sure the repair bay is fully prepped. Good luck, Autobots!" Ultra Magnus's optics flash brightly. Jetfire says, "And good luck to you, sir!" Daredevil nods. "Gotcha, boss. Ready 'n able." He tosses a sidelong look at Slag. "C'mon, mech. Think I could fly this once?" First Aid says, "Good luck, all." DepthCharge nods in agreement with Jetfire, saying "Good luck to you all." You transmit a message to Caern: URGENT, Caern...I just received notice from ambassador Friedman that something may have just snuck into Autobot City. Please investigate immedaitely! Jetfire's antennae stand at attention. Viper nods, "indeed, TIll all are One" Scur-Vee has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . First Aid says, "I am hoping I will be bored all night." Ultra Magnus nods toward First Aid, "Me too, First Aid...me, too..." Slag grunts as he turns to head out the door. He pulls his sword hilt out as he stops, he presses a small button bringing the light purple hue, he grins, "Now lets go mash some Ceptic-con!" A Main Frame Computer unplugs from Teletran II, and begins to transform. Ultra Magnus hoists his plasma rifle over his shoulder. "Okay, Autobots, move out!" The main frame computer splits almost in half, the monitor folds down as it stands, the keyboard moving and connecting with the left arm, the monitor folding into the body, a strong plate with the autobot symbol comes up to protect it, and a head coming up as the transformation completes. Processor now stands before you. Slag leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Processor follows UM. Jetfire leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. First Aid leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. You transmit a message to Steve Michaels: Jetfire will be in command of the Autobot troops here on Earth. Please coordinate your troops with his orders. DepthCharge leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Transmission from Steve Michaels: Affirmative. Processor leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the west. Transmission from Caern: UNderstood Scur-Vee has arrived in sensor range of Autobot City . Ultra Magnus pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. You receive a powerful long range radio message from Rodimus Prime. It reads: "We're ready up here. Just give us the signal." Your message is transmitted to Rodimus Prime. It reads: "Autobot City troops are mobilizing out form the city now, Rodimus! Meet you on Charr!" Ultra Magnus begins to rush toward the door. Viper says, "gluck Magnus" You move west to the Main Lobby - First Floor... Daredevil enters from the Command Center to the east. Viper enters from the Command Center to the east. Viper strides in, looking over everything carefully. Scamper enters from the Command Center to the east. Scamper walks into the area. Scamper shifts into the form of a sleek Aston Martin sports car. Ultra Magnus marches on toward the launching pad, glashing a quick salute to Caern. "Please notify me immediately of any urgent problems which arise!" Jetfire whispers, "Magnus, Steve Micheals informs me we do not have a redezvous point preassigned, did you have anything in mind?" Caern glances up sharply. Caern says, "Everyone quiet!@" First Aid transmits a message via radio. Jetfire receives a radio transmission. You whisper, "Pick somewhere along the western pacific. DepthCharge knows the surface location. :)" to Jetfire. Jetfire nods quickly. Caern points out Coyote, who is moving around the area under cover of invisibility. Caern says, "Intruder" Daredevil half-jogs alongside Magnus to keep up with his longer stride. Out of nowhere, something emits loud, cackling laughter that chills to the core. Turning your gaze to the source, you shake your head, as you see nothing...or do you? Slowly, winds begin to swirl around one particular spot, light in color, but ever darkening. As the winds darken, so does the sound of chanting. As quickly as it begins, the ordeal ends and the Sparrow Team commander known as Coyote Chasm-Waters stands before you. Coyote fades into view! Jetfire transmits a message via radio to First Aid. First Aid receives a radio transmission. Aston Martin beeps, "Caern is thetransform 1 The Aston Martin shifts into its true form, Scamper. Scamper has his weapon fade in from subspace into his right hand. Caern brings a small weapon rapidly to bear. Caern says, "Surrender and identify." Ultra Magnus shouts out, "Security personnel have this under control, Autobots. Move out!" Ultra Magnus shuffles on down the corridor. You move west to the Entrance to Autobot City... Dixie vanishes out of reality. Daredevil enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the east. You move north to the Landing Pad... Daredevil enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Ultra Magnus opens the door to the landing pad. He steps toward the Eureka and opens its landing ramp. He smiles to himself, impressed with the new shuttle. You climb into the Eureka... Daredevil boards the ship from Landing Pad. Ultra Magnus enters the shuttle and moves toward the pilot seat. He looks back to the other Autobots and says, "Let's wish ourselves luck!" Across the monitor of the main frame computer you see: TILL ALL ARE ONE! You take command of the Autobot Shuttle . Ultra Magnus seals the Autobot Shuttle . You monitor the viewscreen as the shuttle travels onward. Ultra Magnus smiles proudly as he sits down at the controls. He wraps his fingers around the launch controls and activates the engines. There is a low rumble which emerges from the rear of the shuttle as its main engines come online. You feel yourself being pressed into the back of the seat as it begins to pull away from the launch pad. The Eureka travels onward to Earth Orbit. A Main Frame Computer is in a corner, with small extensions hooked intot he wall holding him in. Ultra Magnus is pushed back into his seat as the shuttle lurches violently. He watches the viewscreen as the image of Autobot City shrinks into a tiny speck. Slag is just sitting in his chair playing with his sword. He grins, "Slag hope oder Dinobots be der or kitty-birdy der also." The console beeps quietly. "Invalid Destination." The Eureka travels onward to Terrestrial Planets . Ultra Magnus directs the shuttle away from the planet, moving past the moon. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All personnel to your vehicles." The Eureka travels onward to Core . Transmission from Processor: Scourge is on Charr, with Sweeps, they will be conducting training missions. Processor transmits a message via radio. Ultra Magnus frowns slightly. "The Sweeps are on training maneuvers? I'll notify Rodimus...at least they won't be expecting us." Huh? (Type "help" for help.) Astrogation System(#4695 O) Computerized star chart, that can display several galactic systems. Use g1 p2 s2 for anyone to read it, same with 2 to personally use it. Slag stops playing with his sword. He remembers something, "Oh Slag bashdid one of dose fly tings for dey no hurtdid Slag!" Sky Lynx (sl) pages Ultra Magnus and Rodimus Prime: I have a Star Chart :) With a quiet rumble, the FTL engines come online. You gaze out of the viewscreen. A subaudial whine becomes briefly noticable as the FTL engines cut off and the vessel returns to sublight speed. The Eureka travels onward to Terrestrial Planets . The Eureka travels onward to Gas Giants . The Eureka travels onward to Fringe . The Eureka travels onward to Sol System. With a quiet rumble, the FTL engines come online. Astrogation System suddenly activates an image of the Galactic System: The Eureka travels onward to Trifid Nebula. Ultra Magnus directs the shuttle skillfully as it careens through space. He checks his sensors and then looks around the shuttle. "Are you all ready?" he asks with a grin. Transmission from Processor: Ready as can be. Processor transmits a message via radio. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Get a move on people, we've got a date and we can't be late for it." The Eureka travels onward to Sol System. The Eureka travels onward to Deep Space - Galactic Plane. Daredevil ahas! in minor triumph as he scores an old service pistol out of one of the supply lockers in back. "Hey, spiff." Slag places his sword near his leg, he opens his left palm and clenches his right. He spreads his arms together and brings the balled fist down onto the opened hand, "Slag always ready! Slag always good at mashing Ceptic-cons, and Ceptic-con butt-ons!" Slag looks at Processor and ooohs, "Slag like Butt ons, I tink me play wit does butt ons!" The Eureka travels onward to Trifid Nebula. The Eureka travels onward to Deep Space - Galactic Plane. The Eureka travels onward to Trifid Nebula. The Eureka travels onward to Deep Space - Galactic Plane. The Eureka travels onward to Icarus System. Daredevil idly herds Slag a few paces away from Processor after securing the pistol to he belt-level maglock. "I think those buttons 'r gettin' us acroos the spacebridge, so maybe play with 'wm later, eh?" he grins. Ultra Magnus pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. Your message is transmitted to Rodimus Prime. It reads: "We just jumped into the far regions of the system." Caern says, "ALl Autobot Personnel. We have a crisis situation within autobot city. All medical and support personnel should withdraw immediately. Clear the area of any and all humans. Regroup at the EDC." Daredevil is just kinda leaning up against the Processor-side of Slag's chair, then. Ultra Magnus reaches up and deactivates the FTL engines as the shuttle drops out of FTL. A subaudial whine becomes briefly noticable as the FTL engines cut off and the vessel returns to sublight speed. Daredevil looks at the viewscreen. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All craft prepare to move out." Craig Wallace says, "Roger." CA XO Matthew Sharp says, "Don't call me Roger. " Daredevil squints a little up at the viewscreen. "Scrap. Charr makes ole Ithor 2 look downright habitable." Slag looks at Ultra Magnus he picks his huge sword up and grunts, "When we mash Ceptic-cons!" Transmission from Rodimus Prime: This is Far Star. Long time no see? Ultra Magnus watches Charr appear on the viewscreen. Slag looks at the viewscreen. You transmit a message to Rodimus Prime: Greetings, Rodimus! Let's start on my mark. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Move out. Target is off the coast of north Korea." Transmission from Processor: Do not forget to inform Rodimus of Scourge and friends. Processor transmits a message via radio. You transmit a message to Rodimus Prime: Processor has informed me that the Sweeps are currently conducting training maneuvers. Be ready for some slight resistance. I'll go ahead and alert Jetfire to move ahead. Transmission from Rodimus Prime: Understood. Dropped. Ultra Magnus pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. Your message is transmitted to Jetfire. It reads: "Go ahead and launch as soon as the humans have arrived, Jetfire. Good luck!" Edward Bryant (EdB) pages Steve Michaels and Ultra Magnus: Set up outside of Japan until the bots his the base, Steve. :) You transmit a message to Rodimus Prime: Mark! Let's drop to the surface! Steve Michaels (Boomer) pages Edward Bryant and Ultra Magnus: I thought we were drawing off the Cons first? Edward Bryant (EdB) pages Steve Michaels and Ultra Magnus: Ask Magnus. :) The console beeps quietly. "Invalid Destination." Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Commander Michael's, coordinate with Jetfire." Edward Bryant (EdB) pages Steve Michaels and Ultra Magnus: OK> :) Daredevil idly examines his newly acquired photon pistol, sighting down the barrel and checking the charge. Then he checks the gun for any external dama---waait, back to the charge again. . o [ Oops. Well, here's hoping I don't have ta shoot much. ] A subaudial whine becomes briefly noticable as the FTL engines cut off and the vessel returns to sublight speed. The Eureka travels onward to Orbit of Charr. Swoop boards the ship from Orbit of Charr. from an access port on each side of the monitor, a disruptor and taser come up. Ultra Magnus drops the shuttle from orbit and ignites the main engines. He increases the thrusters and directs the shuttle down toward the landing pads. The console beeps quietly. "Invalid Destination." Processor looks at the viewscreen. Dr. Saul Hudson says, "checking in...I'll be coordinating backup and evac from Starskimmer...." The console beeps quietly. "Invalid Destination." Grimlock boards the ship from Orbit of Charr. Slag looks at the viewscreen. Transmission from Processor: Scourge has given all aerospace operations to Ramjet while on his training mission, he states he wishes not to be disturbed. Processor transmits a message via radio to Ultra Magnus. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All EDC troops, engage." The Eureka travels onward to Landing Field. Slag says, "Oooh Dinobots all mash Ceptic-cons, den we mash Ceptic-con butt ons too." Ultra Magnus dips into the outer stratosphere of the planet. He looks over the viewscreen. You gaze out of the viewscreen. Ultra Magnus brings the shuttle over to land. He turns around, "Let's do it, Autobots!" Ultra Magnus unlocks the Autobot Shuttle . Swoop says, "Yeah!" A Main Frame Computer unhooks from his holding, then waits for all other bots to get off. Ultra Magnus gets up and turns around from the controls. He motions toward the door, "Move out!" The main frame computer splits almost in half, the monitor folds down as it stands, the keyboard moving and connecting with the left arm, the monitor folding into the body, a strong plate with the autobot symbol comes up to protect it, and a head coming up as the transformation completes. Processor now stands before you. Swoop nudges Grimlock, "What were we doing again? Oh yeah, mash cepticons!" Grimlock disembarks from the Eureka. Slag stands up and looks at Grimlock along with Swoop, "We do it now!" He roars and transforms into his dinosaur mode and lumbers out. Slag transforms with the quiet sounds into the massive and all powerful Triceratops You disembark from the Eureka for the Landing Field... Triceratops disembarks from the Eureka. Daredevil disembarks from the Eureka. Space Shuttle sets down gently, quickly opening his cargo bay doors, and lowering his exit ramp Rodimus Prime disembarks from the Far Star. Processor disembarks from the Eureka. Sludge descends the ramp from Sky Lynx's cargo bay Sidearm disembarks from the Far Star. Sidearm enters the area silently. Archer disembarks from the Far Star. Tower descends the ramp from Sky Lynx's cargo bay Sidearm leaps out and lands onto the ground gently. Hummer descends the ramp from Sky Lynx's cargo bay Space Shuttle drops Hummer. Archer walks slowly out from the shuttle. Ultra Magnus descends from the Eurka's doors. He waves a greeting toward the other Autobots, smiling toward Rodimus. "Fancy meeting you here!" he says with a grin. Sky Lynx's form begins to shake. A sudden flash of light and the shifting of seemingly hundreds of parts and the awesome dragon-like creature stands before you! DECEPTICONS BEWARE!!! Nosecone disembarks from the Far Star. Processor pulls out his taser. Hummer draws his sword. From Hummer The Noble Sword suddenly flares to life, its blade glowing with a red-orange energy field. Triceratops comes out he gryns and looks at the gathered Dinobots he lumbers over to Sludge, "Me Slag say dis be one big party!" Nosecone folds down in to a tank with a drill, missile launchers, and a proudly displayed Autobot insigna Daredevil's wings, arms, and jet engine fold into his frame as his lower torso and legs spin 180 degrees to form the front of a futuristic red dunebuggy. Sludge steps out of Sky Lynx's cargo bay doors, grinning widely at Slag, "Yup. We gonna teach Cons BIG lesson det no ferget!" Ultra Magnus shouts out, "Okay, protect Processor at all costs and help him get into the facility. Cover him while he makes the appropriate actions on the space bridge controls. Beward for the Sweeps on training maneuvers, too!" Rodimus Prime tugs his rifle from subspace and snaps the safety off with a smirk. "All right, base raiders, let's raid some bases." Ultra Magnus looks around, "Once in the base, set the charges and get to the external hatch as soon as you can!" Red TecBuggy extends two thin black wings from the sides as the wheels fold into the wheelwells. From the trunk, a panel opens and a small jet engine topped by a red fin locks into place. Triceratops says, "Otay!" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All EDC forces, lock targets and engage!" Ultra Magnus slings his plasma rifle over his shoulder, shuffling forward as he rushes over near Rodimus. "The Decepticons won't know what hit them," he says. Sidearm heads to Processor and stands near him. She looks at the skies, a slight concerned expression crossing her faceplate, she then glances at Ultra Magnus. A Pteradactyl disembarks from the Eureka. Sludge pulls out his massive sword, grinning broadly as it gleams brightly, "Sludge gonna have fun now.." Processor nods to Sidearm, "Fancy us meeting in danger again." Red TecBuggy hovers up into the air, and blasts forward with a concussive *throom* from his rear-mounted engine. "All right. Who wants ta go in and play diversionary force?" he asks brightly. Hummer moves to PC's side. Rodimus Prime barks, "Spread out and knock down any resistance! I don't want them getting wind of this on Earth! Keep the non-combatants in the back and shielded!" Triceratops says, "Grimlock you take Dinobots and we find tings to mash, dis be lots of fun!" A tank rolls to processors other side Sky Lynx :transforms and falls in behind the smaller Autobots, his weapons systems coming to a low hum as they spark to life, he peers around like a predator looking for prey Sidearm smiles at Processor. "Yes, I suppose so." She idly reaches for her left arm and checks her ion cannon. Rodimus Prime exchanges a quick look with Magnus, then adds grimly, "This is the easy part. Don't get hurt." A Pteradactyl flaps over Slag's head, nodding to Grimlock, he shouts out of the noise, "Yeah! What him Slag say!" Grimlock transmits a message via radio. Sludge receives a radio transmission from Grimlock. Sludge's body starts to fold and lock around him, his armor becoming heavier as he increases in size. When his body is done transforming, he sets down on all four of his paws, the ground shaking with the force as Sludge stands before you in his Brontosaurus mode. From Hummer Processor says, "Nope, dont pick up the transmissions..." Ultra Magnus looks toward Rodimus as he hoits his plasma rifle over his shoulder. Kicking his legs and arms back as his torso falls forward, Ultra Magnus transforms into a large truck and car-carrier. Armored Car Carrier revvs his engines. Rodimus Prime waves a hand westward. "Move in!" The silver Autobot folds down into himself, flipping inside out. With some shifting and sliding, the blocky, camouflaged HMMV takes shape. Armored Car Carrier's tires begin to roll, disturbing the rocky surface of the planet as he moves foward. Triceratops turns around as he growls he looks at the vacant gates he grunts, "Dey make dis to easy!" Sidearm kicks in her anti-grav systems and rises upwards into the air. A tank now is bedide hummer Kup's body condenses downward, moving close to the ground and transforming into his vehicle mode. Rodimus Prime shifts into what can only be called a high-tech flaming Winnebago. Brontosaurus lumbers on after Grimlock as he enters the Charr base, looking around, "Sludge leave message dat he here mebbe." A Pteradactyl flapsin one place, waiting to follow the other dinobots, "Easy not always fun doh!" Archer transforms into hovercraft mode. HMMV arms his rockets. Cybertronian Pickup's wheels begin rolling, as it heads out of the area. Triceratops starts to lumber west he keeps himself moving atfter Grimlock and Sludge. Armored Car Carrier emits on speakers: "Let's move in!" HMMV leaves to the Central Courtyard - DHQ to the west. Armored Car Carrier increases speed suddently. You can't go that way. A Pteradactyl slowly moves forward, staying over Slag You move west to the Central Courtyard - DHQ... HMMV drives in at high speeds. Slag enters from the Landing Field to the east. Sky Lynx enters from the Landing Field to the east. A hover craft enters from the Landing Field to the east. Scourge is standing giving orders the the Sweeps who are all at attention. Slag transforms with the quiet sounds into the massive and all powerful Triceratops A Main Frame Computer enters from the Landing Field to the east. Sidearm enters from the Landing Field to the east. Sidearm enters the area silently. A Pteradactyl enters from the Landing Field to the east. Brontosaurus enters from the Landing Field to the east. Cybertronian Pickup enters from the Landing Field to the east. Flaming RV enters from the Landing Field to the east. A tank enters from the Landing Field to the east. A Main Frame Computer rides on Hummers back. Grimlock enters from the Landing Field to the east. Scourge is standing giving orders the the Sweeps who are all at attention. Tower enters from the Landing Field to the east. Sidearm scans around. "Perhaps we should focus on the defense systems before they cut us down?" she suggests. Garrote's optics stray to the arrivals and then seem to increase in size... Triceratops comes rumbling out with the rest of the Dinobots he roars loudly as he stands up. He looks at a bunch of gumbies as his optics flare brightly, "Now dis be a party!" Flaming RV veers wildly sideways as soon as he clears the gates, ploughing into a startled group of convenient gumbycons. Arachnae's attention is drawn away from Scourge.. and she /backs up/. A Pteradactyl nearly coos out, "You not joking Slag!" Cybertronian Pickup drives into the area from the east, leading the charge of Autobots beside Rodimus. HMMV launches a volley of rockets at the gumbies. Brontosaurus roars loudly as he slams his tail down on the ground, making it shake in acknowledgement of his presence as he looks around at all the Cons. Scourge turns as he hears the commotion, only noticing one person, and one person only, in his optics the fury of hell burns, he shows no fear of the other bots, he only concentrates on one, the one he has been looking for, for years. He speaks in a voice that originates from the depths of Charr, his wings swing out to a full 20 foot wingspan as he claws unsheate, he simply states, "Magnus......" Garrote looks quickly to Scourge for orders. Armored Car Carrier drives into the area at high speed alongside Rodimus Prime, Kup, and the legion of Autobots. Its horn honks loudly as it nears the surprised Decepticon troops. Its bright headlights flash brightly as it continues to increase velocity. A Main Frame Computer shoots taser and disruptors at gumbis Scourge leaps into the air summoning his plasma cannons, "Sweeps! To the Air!" A Pteradactyl purr-growls, "Me Swoop say we begin fun now!" The air around Dredclaw's hand shimmers as he summons his pulse rifle from subspace. A hover craft speeds into the area. The gun atop it spins about, looking for a target. Deadfall follows scourge, moving very fast for once. Triceratops continues to charge as he rips through a horde of gumbie troops like a bowling ball head towards the pins. He shakes his head violently as he roars again with his optics flaring a bright danergous red, "Slag say lets bash Ceptic-cons!" Armored Car Carrier emits on speakers: "Remember our goal, Autobots! Focus on THAT!" Garrote jumps into the air as per orders as his laser is in hand.... Dredclaw swears, "Unicron!! They are coming out of the woodwork!" Arachnae takes to thea air, whip easily coming to her hand. Flaming RV bellows, "Hummer! Get Processor through!" and cuts sideways to flank the HMMV. Scourge says to the gumbies, "DECEPTICONS! ATTACK!" Sidearm [to Rodimus Prime]: The spacebridge should be somewhere to the west of this area. Deadfall says, "get them to destroy processor. obviously he is improtant to their victory!" HMMV floors it, trying to bust through the enemy lines, and tries to blaze a path with rockets. Garrote looks at the Autobots and then at Scourge thinking this is not good. A tank cranks up it's drill and leads thew way Brontosaurus swings his tail wide, slamming it into a swarm of gumbycons rushing his flank and sends them flying through the air as he growls, his optics fierce, "Cons gonna get smashed!!" Armored Car Carrier heads directly toward a group of Decepticons firing on the Autobots, attempting to draw their fire. Laser blasts rain down upon its thick, white armor. A hover craft's top mounted gun spins around and blasts six huge shells into a large group of gumbies. Cybertronian Pickup roars through the grounds, bowling over gumbies like they were... sharkticons? Scourge growls as he watches from up above, his patience and fury finally snaps, he points to Ultra Magnus, knowing it isn't even necessary to say, he bellows, so that all can hear above the rukus, "SWEEPS! TERMINATE HIM!" Sky Lynx stops in the back of the flow of Autobots and swings his tail over his head, the end splitting opne like a flower, his plasma launcher flipping into place, he fires a volly of Plasma shells at the cons like mortar shels, ignoring the random blasts that bounce off his armor. A Main Frame Computer fires in a 360 degree arc, shooting at any gumbi that gets to close. HMMV is headed west, is anyone trying to stop me? A tank drills and gumbies that get in the way A Pteradactyl notices Sludge's battle with the Gumby cons and decides to have a little fun for himself, he flies towards a group of gumycons and fires several of them with his eye-lasers. He turns around in time to see a rocket oming at him, swoops down dodging it, put leaving himself the victim to several laser blasts A formation of seekers roars towards the frontline assault, rockets and null rays blasting at the attackers and ripping up the terrain in front of them. Sidearm soars a little higher into the air. She aims downwards towards a turret aiming towards the group and sends a moderate level ion blast towards it. The blast hits below the turret, disabiling it, it starts to spark. Garrote points his laser at ultra magnus at the command and from his altitude isn't blocked by anything and fires a shot at the commander. Tower grapples on to one of the gumbie cons and begins to use him as a weapon against the thousands that seem to overcome the area. Brontosaurus's flame thrower ignites in the back of his mouth as he growls deeply at a small group of cons. they stop in their movement, like deer in headlights before they are enveloped with the flame that erupts from Sludge's mouth. Flaming RV kicks into high gear at Sidearm's notification and slams a path free before Hummer to the west. Laserfire crackles and hisses off his trailer, the sound intermingled with the startled yelps from suddenly crunched Decepti-gumbies. Triceratops looks at two generic seekers that come in from behind him. He roars as he takes a few pelts from a laser rifle, and brings his rear hoofs up back kicking the sense out of them. His mouth glows as he brings his legs back down to the ground releasing two troops that happen to keep him surrounded melting them down into nothing more than molten well slag. HMMV fires a volley of rockets, and heads to the west as fast as he can go. Scourge turns back to the Gumbies, "STOP THEM!" A hover craft spins wildly as a stray laser blast crashes into it. It fires off it's gun and flamethrower, torching a small number of troops. A tank follows behind prime cleaning up an leftovers Processor transmits a message via radio. Rodimus Prime receives a radio transmission. Armored Car Carrier heads along with the other Autobots on a path toward the gates to the Decepticon base. Blaster fire from a nearby group of Decepticons targets an Autobot soldier following along Ultra Magnus' side. With a rumble of instant acceleration, the white semi and its trailer combine in a flurry of action into the impressive form of Ultra Magnus. Flaming RV mutters, "Your wish is my command..." breaking free from Hummer's path and stopping short, letting several 'Cons ram into him before rumbling into motion again. Garrote follows his shot and swoops down towards the city commander as his 'adrenaline rush increases rapidly. A Pteradactyl screeches out in pain as he is pelted with laser fire. He darts up to gain altitude and more distance from his attackers, levels of and fires two missiles at the ground. Both missiles explode sendig several of the troops flying through the air......then landing Cybertronian Pickup's turret emerges, firing several large bolts of electricity toward a group of Decepticon troops, sending some into convulsions from the charge. HMMV leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. A tank leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Arachnae's optics flicker slightly.. then she seems to sigh, letting herself be drawn intothe Sweeps obsessive actions.. A Main Frame Computer leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Ultra Magnus leaps into the air as he finishes his transformation, glaring up at the sweeps. He sneers toward them as his plasma rifle pops out of its storage compartment. Looking toward the other Autobots, he says, "Get inside as quickly as you can!" Dredclaw sneers as he fires on the transforming Magnus. "You will pay with your life, Autobot" Brontosaurus roars as he is swarmed over by a mass of GumbyCons that leap all over him, pounding their fists into his armor as they try to take him down. Rodimus Prime shifts to robot mode. A hover craft spins around as a heavy shell from a troop smashes into its side. It quickly regains control and speeds off to the west. Ultra Magnus lifts his rifle and fires a few blasts into a group of Decepticons nearby. Small patters of fire singe the air around him as he attempts to dodge the blasts falling toward him. A hover craft leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Triceratops takes laser hits like they were nothing as they flick off his armored hide. He lifts his head up and turns around swinging his massive tail into the troops. He growls, "Sludge me no have fun like dis in long time!" The vehicle before you transforms upward, gathering itself into a robot form. Before you where the vehicle once stood resides the aged warrior, Kup. Sky Lynx catches a Seeker that buzzes him and tears him out of the sky, slamming him to the ground without giving him a chance to transform before tearing him to bits in a blood-curtling death scream. Sidearm twists around, she soars westward, flying in between two seekers who weren't focusing on her. As she flies past them, they both turn to fire at her, aiming at each other. She kicks in her flight systems and shoots out of the way as they fire, blasting each other instead. She gets a leg slightly singed in the manuever. Rodimus Prime transforms in midmotion, rolling over himself twice before leaping to his feet with his rifle in his hands, cutting a swathe through the mass of troops swarming over him. Ultra Magnus glances up at the Sweeps with a frown, then turns to run with the other Autobots toward the space bridge. A Pteradactyl calls out to his brothers while skillfully dodging several shots, "ME Swoop mash cepticon army peoples!" as he looks to them for acknowledgement he is pegged in the underbelly with a rocket. He flies in circlesthe opposite direction the rocket cam from screaming in pain. The Trooper shouts out, "Tag! Your it!" The GumbyCons start to fly in all directions as Sludge whips them off of him in fury, transforming and bursting out of the middle of them, soaring through the air after processor as he tears his large sword out of subspace Tower's side begins to glow slightly as he takes his energy sword from subspace, slicing it through the air at anyone not bearing an Autobot symbol. He spins as one of the troops flies into his back, compliments of Sludge, leaving no more than a small dent where he struck. Brontosaurus leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. A Pteradactyl shakes his head as he finally get his flight under control. He transforms and flies at the person who hit him with a rocket. The trooper double-takes and begins to run, forgetting he can fly. Right before the faster Swoop collides, he is blasted with laser fire and lands with a skiiiiiiiid The Base defences (the cannons and such) whirl online finally and begin to start attacking the bulk of the bots. The Bird-ish looking reptile stands up, Wings folding back, missile launchers pointing out. His head holds back also revealing a robot head. Swoop stands tall looking around. Rodimus Prime grabs a Reflector-clone's arm as he leaps onto his back and flips the Decepticon over his shoulder, hoisting him off in Kup's direction. "Catch!" [Teletran] Scamper transmits: Ultra Magnus, pleae contact me ASAP! Kup follows Rodimus' lead, transforming in mid-drive, which in turns sends him sailing into the air. Removing a wicked looking energy axe from subspace, he begins to chop away at the Decepticon troops, like a crazed lumberjack. Triceratops starts to break into another charge the ground thunders from under his hoves. His head is held low so he can rip into the seekers or random sweep as he makes way towards Processor. The onslaught is rather brutal as his body gets covered in energon, he takes out one last guard as his horn dives down into his fuel pump as you hear a blood curdling blood cry. He shakes his head dislodging his target and continues to run. Triceratops leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Arachnae's optics flicker again. You receive a powerful long range radio message from Scamper. It reads: "Sir, please answer." Rodimus Prime transmits a message via radio. Sky Lynx seems content to follow pup the rear, whacking the odd seeker from the sky with his tail and clawing those foolish enough to try and go at it with him on foot. Steve Michaels (Boomer) pages Edward Bryant and Ultra Magnus: I don't suppose I can have the alabama torpedo that damn tower? :) Kup, with axe in hand, neglects catching the Reflector-clone, and chooses to slice it cleanly in half, in midair. Rodimus Prime receives a radio transmission. Grimlock holds his sword up and waves it around, shouting to get the attention of the other Dinobots before pointing after Sludge.] Grimlock leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Steve Michaels (Boomer) pages Ultra Magnus and Edward Bryant: Which way do you want them coming out, on Charr or on Earth? Sidearm flies downwards until she outdistances the main battle. The bulk of the Autobot forces being focused on, allows her a chance to slip through. Sidearm leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Another one of the Gumbicons rushes Prime, shoulder mounted EMP modules begins flashing light, sound and radiation in a scrambled patern. Swoop gets to his feet to see a group of 5 or 6 troopers running towards him. He takes off running for 10 feet, then leaps into the air, outstretching his arms and flies towards Grimlock,shouting out maniacly, "Back up! Back up! Me Swoop need back up!" he continues flying after him as he leaves the area, desperate to ditch the group of cons firing bafd shots off at him Swoop leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Steve Michaels (Boomer) pages Ultra Magnus and Edward Bryant: Oh lovely. :) Where we have two people defending. :) Deadfall moves defensively to protecto scourge, covering his left flank as best he can Sky Lynx takes a blast to the head cracking his optic band, he winces pulling his head away as the offending seeker flies away laughing. Sky Lynx growls angrily and leaps int the sky after the seeker, his huge shadow falling on all in the room, as he chases the seeker around the skies. Rodimus Prime ducks and charges the sonic-wielding maniac, body-checking him to the ground. Scourge remains silent as he watches the armaggeddon, staring out at Ultra Magnus, waiting for the right moment to strike. Rodimus Prime receives a radio transmission. Transmission from Processor: I believe I have the spacebridge operational and ready to go. Garrote soars down towards Ultra Magnus as the fight rages on, and fires his laser as flies... The Gumbi Prime body checked "ooofs"and hits the ground, he transforms and scrambles away. Ultra Magnus glances up at the swarming Decepticon forces. He fires a few covering volley shots toward some soldiers, then looks up toward Scourge. Twisting through the air, turning his waist, he thrusts his right shoulder forward. With a loud THWOOM a red missile is launched, speeding directly up from the ground toward Scourge. Kup continues his crazed assault, hewing limps and eviserating Decepticon's left and right. Scourge gets nailed, "GAH!" Processor (PC) pages Ultra Magnus and Rodimus Prime: You want me to start activating it ? so we can send them down? Scourge points once again at Magnus, restating himself, only this time with more emphasis, more feeling, more _hate_, "Sweeps!!!! TERMINATE HIM!!!" Ultra Magnus looks toward the Autobots and shouts, "Processor has done what he needs...get in there and make the jump!" Deadfall tries to get ultra magnus's attention, firing at his tires "no one attacks scourge and lives" he chuckles. Tower spins, knocking one of the troops carelessly into the air as he does. He looks over to where the others have made their way to the space bridge and hurries after them. Sky Lynx catches the offending Seeker in mid flight. The seeker transforms firing into Sky Lynx's chest only to be flailed around like a rag doll. Sky Lynx flies up into the sky, carrying the screaming seeker with him. A few moments later a blurr is seem streaking into one of the Decepticon buildings and slams into - through - and out the otherside, exploding in a firey blast of sparks and smoke. All that is left is a seeker sized hole in the building and a couple wings. Tower leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Garrote puts away his laser as he begins to close ground on Ultra Magnus...his pink claws shining in the dim light... Rodimus Prime waves a hand in Magnus' direction in acknowledgement and backs toward the west gates, blasting away behind him. Ultra Magnus begins to run toward the gates. Scourge lands in front of Ultra Magnus, standing merely 10 feet away and states flatly, "Desolation follows in my trail, Ultra Magnus, and once again you have intruded on my chosen path. This time, you will not survive. Deadfall flies right in magnus's path to distract him.. Garrote makes a pass over Ultra Magnus trying to distract him with his claws. Scourge yells without moving nor turning, "Sweeps! Attack!" Ultra Magnus stops and throws a hard glare at Scouge. His blue optics flicker brightly as he says, "Your threat won't send a shudder through my circuits, Scourge. You Decepticons will extend your influence over the Earth no more!" Kup replaces his axe with his laser rifle, laying down fire with speed and accuracy that is hard-matched on the battlefield. Dredclaw jumps down, transforming and closing in on Magnus in one swift motion. In a fluid motion, Dredclaw soars into the air, and folds into the deadly curves of a Sweepcraft. Rodimus Prime leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Scourge says, "Earth? Petty merchandice, the Universe is what we seek, your love for that simple planet will be your downfall." Ultra Magnus sneers, "Your arrogance will be yours." Arachnae dives out of the sky towards Ultra Magnus... She pivots and lands behind him, dispersing a group of gumbies witha sharp crack of her whip. Kup leaves to the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. The wings of the Sweepcraft smoothly swing back and around, legs extend and turn as Dredclaw emerges into robot form. Scourge laughs, "You _dare_ insult me? I was even considering allowing you to live so that you may grovel for mercy, now, that luxury is gone." Dredclaw lands, flanking Magnus' right. Garrote lands close to the west exit as his laser is in hand as he is the best marksman. Ultra Magnus raises his plasma rifle as he begins to take a few steps backward. He cocks the charge cannister. Dropping it to his side in his right hand, he ducks forward, spinning around and lashing out at Dredclaw with a powerful kick. Bloodwulf, Brigand, and Revenant all take a defensive position behind Scourge. Scourge says, "NOW!" Ultra Magnus says, "I'll draw the attention of the Sweeps! Get to the base on Earth and don't wait for me!" Sky Lynx swoops down over the standing Decepticon buildings laying down a rain of fire and plasma on everything he sees, like an ancient dragon strafing a defenseless village. Buildings collapse in on themselves, screams are heard but quickly muffled and silenced. Sky Lynx continues his merciless assault undaunted and determined to destroy every standing structure he can. Garrote fires his laser at Magnus not carying where he hits. Deadfall fires at ultra magnus, aiming for the cab. Dredclaw takes the kick in the midsection, but rolls with it, reaching up and sinking his claws into the softer portions of Magnus' knees as he is kicked back. Teleported. Scourge waits for his Sweeps to make their attacks, judging Magnus's moves carefully, absorbing every detail, every little action, trying to plan the most efficient attack. Sweep Battlecruiser stands next to Scourge, weapon drawn at his side. Arachnae cracks her whip, sending it towards Ultra magnus' legs from behind, her wings flexing outwards inpreparation to *pull* The large Sweep Battlecruiser shifts and folds in various ways. The imposing form of Brigand emerges. Deadfall heads ramming speed right towards magnus's gut. Dredclaw hits the ground, and rolls back up onto his feet, he tucks the ribbons of Magnus's knee armor into subsace. Ultra Magnus buckles as Dredclaw sinks a claw into his leg. He stumbles slightly, jsut in time for a few blasts to catch him squarely in the chest, sending him backward from the force of the blasts. He frowns as he looks down at his chest, running his right hand along the dark scorch marks. Scourge chuckles, "Shall we grant him mercy brothers?" Garrote growls, "No, we have been waiting too long for a trophy." Brigand looks at Scourge and grins evilly. "Are you kidding?" You receive a powerful long range radio message from Scamper. It reads: "Sir, Caern is missing, there was an explosion from a bomb left by a Militant." Arachnae hisses, "Awwww... I needed a new toy.". Dredclaw says, "we should grant him the quiet mercy of oblivion's embrace." Scourge laughs manically, and unsheathes his claws with a -shitcht- charging at Ultra Magnus, "DESTROY HIM!" Garrote nods agreeing with Dred, "Nothing speaks louder then the silence of oblivion." Scourge leaps at Magnus, attempting to tear into his chestplate, with great earnest in his work. Ultra Magnus snarls, "Don't think merely because you have me outnumbers you can fall me as easily as you did on Junkion." There is a metallic THWOOM as he cocks his rifle. Unleashing a wild volley of blasts toward the Sweeps, he fires and shouts, "You'll never be able to stop what has already been set into motion!" Deadfall transforms, claws glinting as they rake towards magnus "there are times when its not best to let the prey catch itself..now is it." Brigand fires a few bursts from his rifle at a safe distance. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Two cons down....." Garrote gets hit in the chest by one of Ultra magnus' shots and flies backward hitting a wall and sliding down...He looks up at Ultra magnus... Brigand keeps his distance, trying to take in the situaion. Ultra Magnus slings his rifle over his shoulder as he places his hands forward in a defensive reacion. Scourge tackles him as the two massive Transformers glare intently into each others' optics. Garrote picks himself off the ground and jumps transforming and takes to the air... Garrotte seems to fold inwards as he transforms into his sleek Sweep craft mode as his wings fold around him. Deadfall takes a two hits, one to his neck, and the other to his chest, his fuel pump ruptures in a small inferno, he dropps, not dead, but spasming in pain and screaming loudly (like cartoon sweeps do :P) Scourge says, "" Brigand runs to Deadfall. "Are you alright?" Ultra Magnus shouts out to a few Autobots slowly moving west, "Get to the bridge!" Sweep_Craft gets some altitude as he begins an attack pattern. Dredclaw's shoulder is ripped open by a blast, he winces and snarls, "but your time is now, Magnus.... there are six million ways to die, you need choose but one..." his claws ~shink~ out as he jumps in on the dogpile. Several of the remaining seekers decide to attack Sky Lynx with a combined effort, Swarming around him the peck at him until one gets off a lucky null blast to his head! Sky Lynx tumbles from the sky and slams to the ground HARD on his back. THe seekers combine their firepower and attack the foundation of a nearby tower that tips over and slams down on top of the huge monster covering just about his entire body but his head and tail. Deadfall doesnt respond..he just shakes in pain, leaking massively for a while. Scourge looks at Magnus and sneers, "I have waited far too long for this moment Magnus, and now, I will finally get to reap my harvest. The Autobots shout out something inaudible to Ultra Magnus before they are engulfed in a fiery explosion from nearby Seeker legions. Arachnae backs up, optics darkening as she watches this.. this.. fight.... she gets a defensive stance and shakes her head.. Ultra Magnus drops his left shoulder, attempting to spin around and toss Scourge through the air with the momentum at his disposal. He glares at the Decepticon and says, "If I'm going down, Scourge, you're coming with me!" Sweep_Craft begins charging a mass energy burst as he soars down upon Ultra Magnus waiting for an opening... Sky Lynx struggles under the fallen tower, "damn .. IT!" He can't seem to get a claw in position to move the building off himself. Ultra Magnus looks with concern over to Sky Lynx, "NO!!" He continues to wrestle with Scourge, trying to break free of his clawed grip. Deadfall 's shaking stops as he passes out looking more or less deactivated. Brigand attempts to aim his rifle at Ultra Magnus again, carefully trying to avoid Scourge. Dredclaw barks, "Brigand, hold your fire!" Sweep_Craft pulls up this time as a shot is not open as long as Scourge is near UM, and goes around for another pass. Brigand looks at Dred. Scourge gahs as he is thrown off, landing with a thud near Deadfall, he turns to look at his fallen brother, and turns to Magnus, "Now, Magnus, the true fury of Scourge, tracker of Autobots, terminator of all, shall be unleashed apon your worthless existance. Dredclaw drops his hand, signalling, "now" Brigand fires insanely. Sweep_Craft swoops down discharging his energy burst at Ultra magnus at dred's word. Arachnae jumps towards Ultra Magnus, flickign her wrist and sending her whip inwards as he is distracted by the close proximity of Scourge. She grynz as she moves to entangle him. Brigand lowers his weapon and TFs. Brigand shifts and folds in various ways. A large, sleek Sweepcraft emerges. Ultra Magnus pulls his hands up to his face as the blaster fire rattles around him, scattering large chunks of rock from the ground. He curls up somewhat under the pelting assault. Wiping his optics, he struggles to gather himself to his feet. Scourge looks down at Deadfall, only briefly but enough to look at him with the small moment of compassion that Scourge is ever able to have, "You will be avenged, my brother." Seekers descend on the striggling Sky Lynx, 3 walk up to him and take pot shots at his head with their various blasters, actually making fun of him. One has the audacity to kick him in the head. Sky Lynx shakes it off angrily and unleases a blaze of acetylene on the three seekers, reducing them to ash. Sweep_Craft as he quickly descends, transforms, his claws shining brightly again against his blue frame. Garrote seems to dip his nosecone in a virtical position and he unfolds into his menacing robot mode. Dredclaw moves in what seems like choreographed motion in time with the other sweeps attacks, his pulse rifle is suddenly in his hands and blasting away at Magnus' tough hide. Just as he reaches his feet, his hands are suddenly entrapped by Arachnae's whip. He grunts loudly and stares intently toward her. Sweep Battlecruiser arcs around and comes in on Magnus, strafing the ground with laser-fire. Scourge strides in closer to Ultra Magnus as blasts and explosions go off around him, his path never wavering, his look so intent on his target, never loosing it, he doesn't bother to summon any weapon, he simply walks, growing closer and closer to magnus every second. Arachnae winks as her whip connects..a nd sends a jolt of electricity down its length. Dredclaw see's the untimely death of the seekers and shakes his head. Processor enters from the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Garrote continues to descend rapidly focused on magnus and the joy of wounded prey. Bloodwulf charges at Ultra magnus, laser blasts shooting out rapidly from his rifle, "The Hunt never ends, your life however, shall." Ultra Magnus screams out, "YEAAARRRGG!" as the cackling charge of electricty singes his body. He grunts and finally musters his strength. Yanking his arms inward with his respected strength, he tries to pull Arachnae toward him. Revenant leaps up, watching Ultra Magnus cower, "Time catches even the fastest Autobot, and your time Magnus is up." he transforms and strafes Magnus's area with laser blasts. Arachnae gaaahs as she gets jerked towards Ultra magnus! Dredclaw says, "Nae!" Scourge intones, "You have just made the most fatal mistake in your many years of activation Magnus..." Sky Lynx struggles under the building, his enormous teeth gritted, The bulding begins to shift as he starts to roll onto his belly. Garrote lands about 10 paces behind Ultra magnus seeing Scourge's motion towards UM, and decides to get Ultra magnus primed for Scourge's onslaught Tower enters from the Spacebridge Outpost to the west. Sweep Battlecruiser lands, TFs, and comes in slowly behind Magnus. The large Sweep Battlecruiser shifts and folds in various ways. The imposing form of Brigand emerges. Garrote rushes towards Ultra Magnus and slides in low being agile and tries to leg Sweep him... Scourge continues to stride towards Magnus, a nuclear warhead couldn't stop him now, not until he reaches him, not until his prey is caught, not until he tastes the energon dripping from the unmoving body of the game. A malicious smile crosses his face as he grows nearer, he is but 20 feet away now.... Sky Lynx sees Ultra Mangus' struggle with the sweeps and claws desperately at the building trying to release himself, "Magnus ... uhh ... HOLD ON!" Dredclaw flanks and lands to the left of Ultra Magnus, talons gleaming. "many have foundour sisters embrace deadly, autobot....you may as well" Having yanked on the electric whip, Ultra Magnus wraps his right arm around Arachnae's neck and upper body. He holds her tightly and thrusts her body in front of him, trying to use her as a shield. "You'll have to tear through her to get to me, Sweeps..." Brigand glances furtivley over at Sky Lynx and clenches his fist. Scourge ignores every noise, every motion, nothing and everything in his sight, his wings spreading out to his full wingspan and chuckles slightly, "Now that isn't very honorable now is it Magnus? Such a malicious action, tsk tsk." Ultra Magnus's optics flicker as he says with a grin, "But no matter what you end up doing to me, I know Galvatron and the other Decepticons are not going to be too happy to hear you have just allowed the destruction of the coveted base on Earth." EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Alabama, open missile tubes....target that shuttle and fire." Scourge bahs, "At least I will meet my end satisfied, with the energon from your body dripping from my claws." Arachnae hisses as she gets caught and starts trying to struggle, wings jerking, claws out, optics a deep crimson, She hisses, "Get Him!" as she tries to squirm free. Sky Lynx manages to flip onto his front and claws hurridly at the ground, trying to pull himself out from under the building with all his might, yet he is firmly pinned. Garrote groans, "Now this is a fine mess, I knew something would go wrong." Scourge finally reaches Magnus, and he says softly, "Forgive me, sister, for what I am about to do..." :Humming of the spacebridge being activated several times is heard, then silence. Arachnae stares at Scourge, fear beginning to dim her optics as she suddenly stills. Brigand watches the two brawlers with much interest, waiting for one to fall... Scourge spreads his arms out, in a crucifix type pose, and suddenly leaps over Magnus, digging his claws into Magnus's neck. Dredclaw tenses, waiting for that subtle, almost unseen command from Scourge. Arachnae (Nae) pages Scourge and Ultra Magnus: Drat, I thought you were gonna spear me to get to Um... Garrote backs off as well, focused on the tense scene, "I hope you know what you are doing, Scourge." Sky Lynx pants his feet on the ground and tries to press the building off himself, it shifts slightly but only succeeds in crushing oe of the supports keeping it off Sky Lynx. The fallen tower sinks deeper into the grouns, pinning Sky Lynx further, the sound of crushing metal is accompanies by a desperate scream of anger and pain. Garrote is unaware of Sky Lynx's actions hopefully it won't cost them in doing so. Ultra Magnus mutters to Arachnae, "You really think that megalomaniacal tyrant has the slightest concern for you?" He tightens her grip around her neck and looks with a stern glare to Scourge. Fighting the struggling female, he tries to slowly begin lifting her off the ground. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "DEcepticon forces are in full retreat...." Arachnae starts to chuckle nastily, "AS long as you get yours..Autobot..." Scourge winces almost as he quckly falls out of the pose, slashing as hard as he can, straight through Nae's midsection, digging into Magnus as well. Arachnae chokes.... spasming as her armoring is rent like wet paper. She *screaches* Scourge screams, "NOW!" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Decepticon shuttle is fleeing for the upper atmosphere. EDC force regroup on the Alabama." Scourge says, "TERMINATE HIM!" Dredclaw blurrs as he bounds onto Magnus' arm sinking his claws into the shoulder. Sky Lynx shudders under the pinning tower, looking up toward Magnus as he watches Scourge impale Arachnea and Magnus alike, he mutters weakly, "no ..." Brigand jumps at Magnus, claws extended. Ultra Magnus, caught by surprise at even this move, releases his grip on Arachnae as the other Sweeps suddenly leap toward him. He howls out in agony as they dig into his once-clean armor. Scourge says, "TEAR HIM APART!" Brigand sinks his claws into Maguns' back. Garrote winces as he sees the move and is shocked that Scourge did it, and then following scourge's order moves in, his bloodlust making him blind to anything but his prey. Bloodwulf leaps at Magnus's right leg, Revenant at his left, both sinking their claws into them. Sparks fly as small spurts of energon stream forth from Ultra Magnus's chest. He glares intently toward the sweeps, his right optic unit shattered and flickering dimly. Arachnae falls to the ground, optics flickering as she lies there, then arches back as the pain sets in.. the physical as wella s the feeling of betrayel. Scourge continues to edge his claws in towards Magnus's power core, Nae caught in between them.. Dredclaw's wings flit, slinging energon in an arc of glowing, horrific gore as he rents into the armor, sinking teeth in as well. Sky Lynx tears at the ground francally as he watches the Sweeps tear into Magnus he screams, "NO!" and unleashes a large plume of acetylene that isn't nearly long enough to reach the greusome scene, "Stop it!" he yells with a mouth full of flame and smoke. Brigand just tears at Magnus like crazy. Scourge relaeases his claws, but only briefly, allowing Nae to fall slightly, but not enough to save her from the armeggedon of his slashes at Magnus's enourmous chestplate. Garrote's armor stains with the energon as his optics show no sign of mercy or regret, he has waited a long time for this. Scourge says, "Fall! Fall you worthless pile of scrap!" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All troops, concentrate fire on the Decepticon tower and base." Arachnae manages to grab Scourges arm as it passes thru her.. She blinks.. then limpens, whispering, "dark?" Ultra Magnus's legs are torn asunder by the frenzy of the Sweeps. He thrusts out his right hand at Scourge, attempting to grapple the leader's neck. Dredclaw's face is slashes by the sharp edges of Magnus' armor, he cackles as the pain flushes though him anew. Deadfall dimly hears magnus's slaughter..he smiles dimly and whispers through chokes of energon "let..him..falll, my brothers..let him..die" his optics unseeing through an energon haze....he whispers "avenge nae..avenge me.." though he knows he probably isnt heard. Scourge looks at Arachnae with a look of deep shame, just as he is grabed by Magnus, he gasps. A furious slash severs the Autobot's arm in a clean blow. He screams in utter pain as the arm falls to the ground, exploding upon impact. Keeping one claw firmly embeded in Magnus' hids, Brigand pauses to stare at all the energon flowing from him. Dredclaw falls and is blown back as the limb he was clinging to falls and explodes. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Adjust fire, top of the tower only!" Scourge squirms free of Magnus's grasp, "Fall back, let him fall then transform my brothers, so that we may finish the job." Ultra Magnus stammers, spluttering energon foaming from his mouth, "You'll...never..win..." There is a loud click as the release mechanism on his left shoulder activates. There is a stream of fire behind him as his other missile launches at close range. Brigand releases his grip on Ultra Magnus, and hovers back to a safe distance again. Scourge screams in pain as the missile hits him square in the chest, he flies backwards at least 100 feet, he lies there for what seems to be an eternity. Dredclaw clutches at his chest... a long red and blue strip of armor, sticking out lividly from his breastplate. He pulls it out slowly, and shivers as he transforms. Huh? (Type "help" for help.) Advisor Edward Bryant says, "All units that can, report!" Scourge slowly stands back up, struggling against the pain, he falters, falling to one knee, "No, NO! I will never allow my prey to escape!!!" Sky Lynx scrambles like a frenzied animal at the ground, bits f rock and metal flying in all directions, he just keeps repeating "NO! NO! NO! NO!" over and over again, his desperate pleas falling on deaf audios. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Michaels here. Alabama, I, and Raptor flight are still here." Arachnae's form falls to the ground as the two combatants seperate. Her optics flicker as her hands manage to go to her chest. Soft words, almost.. a query escape from herlips as her optics fade out, "What ahs been made..*softer* can be.... made...." She falls. REMINDER: Please remember to +nom your fellow players! Remember to check +tpinfo regularly for updates! Scourge charges at Ultra Magnus, his arms back ready to slash, he is almost charged with the energy of the colective of all the sweeps, dead and living, he makes a crossing slash at Magnus, hoping to slice right though him. Ultra Magnus falls to the ground, several pieces of his armor splintering into pieces as he impacts with the ground. With his one arm, he grabs forward, trying to prop himself up to stare with a burning anger toward the Sweeps. He twists his head, looking to his shoulder and the red insignia of the Autobots which is still there. His mouth curls into a smile as his optics begin to dim. Scourge says, "I WILL NOT REST UNTIL YOU DIE!" Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Status?" Ultra Magnus falls to the ground unconscious. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "The Decepticons are in full retreat, they lifted off in a shuttle with their suvivors. We're trying to hamme ropen the door to the undersea tower, there are Autobots inside." Dredclaw scrambles upwards, stumbling from the loss of energon, faceplate scarred. Arachnae falls to the ground unconscious. Deadfall falls to the ground unconscious. Brigand just kinda stares, wondering what will happen next. Brigand looks from the fallen Magnus, then to Scourge. Garrote looks down at Ultra Magnus walking over to him and lifts his claws ready to decapitate for a trophy to hand Scourge. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "When the last of the Autobots are clear we can destroy the base. The Militant Warlord has already tried to lay claim to salvage." Scourge falls to his knees again as he watches Magnus's optics dim, he finally has a chance to rest as he looks down apon Magnus, "You have served your faction and your race well Ultra Magnus, it was an honor to hunt you. Your legacy shall live throughout our history forever...." he falls silent as he looks to the devestated terrain, and falls to the ground, next to Magnus, coughing up energon. Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Negative. Scrap the base, I repeat, scrap it." EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "You got it." Sky Lynx slams his claws into the ground and yanks with everything in his body, the long sharp dealy talons bend and creak in protest, one actually snacjps under the tremendous effort as he screams yanking himself free of the building and stumbling into another with the force of the pull, he staggers around a bit looking on dazely then helplessly, he manages to shake it off as Ultra Magnus falls, "NO!!!" Scourge's injuries finally catch up to him as he falls unconcious, his purple Con sybol almost ablaze as he lies motionless merely 5 feet away from the man he almost died fighting. Scourge falls to the ground unconscious. Garrote looks at Scourge as he lay coughing energon which distracts him from the decapitation... Brigand approaches the sence slowly. Dredclaw snarls, his anger pounding through him. *cough* "Garrote, get over here. We must tend to the Commander, Nae, and Deadfall...the time for trophies will be later" Garrote looks up as he sees Sky Lynx breaking free and he curses, "Holy Unicron! Dred, Brigand, We got to get Scourge, Arachnae and deadfall out of here!" That player is not connected. Dredclaw looks up at the sound as well, then down at Scourge, he picks him up.. "hurry" is his simple command. Brigand stalks out. Sky Lynx leans heavily against a fallen building, he hind quarters shredded, torn and crushed, oil and energon streaking his entire body with a slight spark here and there. He stumbles forward his huge shadow falling on the still standing Sweeps he says with an insanely calm tone, "you will join him ... " EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Alabama, get that sub! Raptor flight, stay on it." Garrote lets Dred get Scourge as he goes back for deadfall... Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Negative Michaels, priority is the Autobots and that base!" Deadfall makes slight, horrible gasping sounds as air passes through his ripped open neck and chest. He lies still, facedown Garrote begins to feel the fatigue as he tries to get overyone out before Sky Lynx makes this extremely difficult. Dredclaw shudders as the fear of what all of their fates could be is summed up in the insanely calm tone of Sky lynx, "DOUBLE TIME....NOW!" From afar (to Scourge, Ultra Magnus, and Sky Lynx), Arachnae (Nae) isnt *dead* just.. well.. pretty close to it.. actually.. owies. Brigand, Revenant, and Bloodwulf move over to Scourge quickly and lift him up. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "I can't fire on the base till the Bots are clear, their shuttle is boarding the tower now!" Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Provide support, just in case." Dredclaw TF's and opens his cockpit for Scourge's placement. In a fluid motion, Dredclaw soars into the air, and folds into the deadly curves of a Sweepcraft. Garrote picks up Deadfall and transforms around him, as deadfall Sleakly is in Garrote's cockpit... Brigand Revenant and Bloodwulf place Scourge in Dredclaw and transform themselves. Garrotte seems to fold inwards as he transforms into his sleek Sweep craft mode as his wings fold around him. From Dredclaw Scourge strides into the room with an arrogant grin on his face. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Affirmative. Alabama, break off and assist the Typhoon. Raptor Flight, stay on the sub." Whiz says, "Hey, there's plenty of chatter on the EDC frequencies, anyone wanna clue me in on how much work we're in for here at Metroplex?" Huh? (Type "help" for help.) I can't see that here. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "The Autobots are emerging now.....we've got some wounded." Sweep_Craft yells for Bloodwulf or Revenant to grab Nae... EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Alabama, stand by to destroy the Con base. We cant' let the Militants have it." Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Whiz, you copy that? Michaels, word on the wounded. Identify, please." Sky Lynx staggers over toward the body of Ultra Magnus as the Sweeps lift off the ground looking down with horror, "no ... stay with us ... don;t go ..." he flips open a panel on his left foreleg and extends a large antenna, speaking into a small speaker near it, a sudden blast of energy fire out of the antenna. It was clearly a long range transmission. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Jetfire is seriously damaged but still standing....I can't see the others, they're boarding the Typhoon. Depthcharge is there, ask him." Sweep_craft begins to lift off, he pivots, so that his escape trajectory takes him AWAY from Sky Lynx, "Sweeps, retreat" Attributes copied (1 copies) Whiz says, "Uh, yeah, I copy. Want me to pass it on?" Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Yes'am." EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Be advised, the Con sub got clear, but was heavily damaged." Sweep_Craft follows orders as he launches in the air with the others. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Alabama, arm for a full spread. I don't want anything left." Sweep_Craft takes Deadfall. From Dredclaw Arachnae slips quietly into the area. Sweep_craft takes Arachnae. From Dredclaw Arachnae lags.. what a time to lag.. Processor comes running out of the Spacebridge Outpost, heading towards UM, with Tower on his side. Sky Lynx says, "Autobots *SHHHHHHcrackle* Lynx, *Crack*tra Mag*crackle snap*jured maybe *SHHH*stroyed. This is an Emergency Situa**KKKKSHHHHHHH**" Processor takes Tower. Processor looks at Sky Lynx, yelling, "Can you get us out of here?" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All troops are clear. Alabama, commence firepower, sprint mode." Sky Lynx nods quickly to Processor. "I have a long range radio in me, get on the horn to Whiz and have her be prepared for when we arrived on cybertron." Processor transmits a message via radio. Sky Lynx receives a radio transmission from Processor. Sweep_craft streaks away, leading the sweeps into orbit. Sky Lynx's glorious form bunches down into his sleek and awesome space shuttle mode. Ready to blast off into Primus knows where. Processor picks up Magnus with Towers help, being careful but moving quickly. Space Shuttle quickly Transforms and opens his doors, two large claws extend and begin gently helping Tower and Processor with what's left of UM. You walk into Sky Lynx's cargo bay Tower walks in and takes a seat, strapping in and taking all the normal safety precautions Processor drops Tower. Processor puts Magnus down and straps him in. From outside Sky Lynx, Sweep_Craft leaves to the Landing Field to the east. Processor pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. Processor turns back around, then prepares the radio again. Processor sighs. From outside Sky Lynx, Several Straps flip up and around the body of Magnus securing it into place, "Processor, get stapped in, I can't promis one of my usualy gentle takes offs. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Militant forces are approaching....they've directed us to cease fire on the base." Processor straps in. Processor pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle fires his thrusters and blasts up unto the sky rather violently. From outside Sky Lynx, You take off and soar upward to the Skies above DHQ... From outside Sky Lynx, You take off and soar upward to the Stratosphere above Southern Nightside... From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "I just hope our boys on earth are alright .." Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Continue operations, I do not want the cons to be able to use that base again." From outside Sky Lynx, You maneuver through space towards the Orbit of Charr. From outside Sky Lynx, You maneuver through space towards the Icarus System. Processor pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. Processor stands up, and begins doing some field work on UM. From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle attempts to fire his FTL engines but nothing happens, "You have GOT to be kidding me!" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Raptor flight, return to base, the tower is gone....Alabama has exhausted its tubes, the Typhoon will need to finish." Processor begins adjusting energon flow. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Though from that last explosion I don't think there's much to finish off." Advisor Edward Bryant says, "Affirmative, Commander. Congradulations." Processor continues working, "Whats that Sky Lynx? EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "All forces, cover the Autobots if they're fired on. Good job." Processor works on the central power source, trying to adjust it so it stays online. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "Alabama, surface to collect our other exotroopers, we're getting short on fuel." Whiz says, "Autobots, the Militants are talking about attacking as soon as their tank gets backup..." From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle calls up a diagram of himself on his internal main screen, the main energon connections flowing normally except one connection towards his rear area looks like it's severed, "Gahh, one of my FTL regulators must have been shattered in that fall, I have a couple spare in the back by the access panel. Processor I can't change them myself, I'm gonna need you to change it for me. Processor nods, "Okay, let me stabilize Magnus first. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "*momentarily pause* Yes sir. EDC force, you are cleared to return fire if fired on." From outside Sky Lynx, Obsidian hmms at FA. We got AC to ourselves. I say we throw a big bash! :) Processor makes another adjustment, then turns and runs to the back, "Where at? From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "Towards the very back, you'll see a large grey panel .." Processor begins to change them, getting Sky Lynx ready for FTL. From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "Pull it down, here should be 5 large glass tubes, 4 should be glowing a bright yellow, the 2nd one from the top is either broken or black, you have to pull it out, but be careful NOT to touch the active regulators. You'll fry yourself."" Processor opens it up, and looks at the second one down, "Black", then pulls it out carefully, and inserts the new one. Whiz says, "Scratch that, Auto-guys, they're not gonna attack if you don't do it first. Just get yourselves home and we can have a party, okay?" From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "Ok close it up, When I actvate that regulator we're going to juump into an FTL warp. STrap yourself in."" EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "The Dinbots are engaging the Militants." Processor closes it, then moves quickly to strap in, "Lets go, dont know how much longer he is going to last." From outside Sky Lynx, Sky Lynx's FTL engines come online and propel him into faster-than-light speed. From outside Sky Lynx, System Report: Energon Level Normal From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle blasts into FTL with a sudden painful jerk! From outside Sky Lynx, You move driftward against the galactic tides. From outside Sky Lynx, You move driftward against the galactic tides. Processor pulls out the radio and adjusts some of the dials. From outside Sky Lynx, You move driftward against the galactic tides. From outside Sky Lynx, You move rimward, away from the center of the Galaxy. From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "coming out of the warp. Enetring the solar System!" From outside Sky Lynx, Sky Lynx's FTL engines quietly power down as he returns to sublight speed. From outside Sky Lynx, System Report: Energon Level Normal From outside Sky Lynx, Your engines cut to sublight speeds as you enter the Sol System... EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "*swearing* Raptor Flight, do not turn back...we cannot interfere in this, we'd be declaring war on New Aztlan. Withdraw." From outside Sky Lynx, You maneuver through space towards the Gas Giants . From outside Sky Lynx, You maneuver through space towards the Terrestrial Planets . From outside Sky Lynx, You say, "There's earth, get ready for an emergency landing" From outside Sky Lynx, You enter orbit around the blue-green globe of Earth... From outside Sky Lynx, Processor transmits a message via radio. Processor transmits a message via radio. EDC XO Steve Michaels says, "*grimly* Alabama, withdraw..." Sky Lynx says, "This is Sky Lynx, I'm coming in with a priority one emergency. I have just enered Earth orbit and will be landing at AUtobot city in a matter of minutes. Please have a complee medical staff waiting at the launch pad! Ultra Magnus is injured badly. I repeat, he is injured badly and require immediate emergency Medical attention!" From outside Sky Lynx, You head in for a landing to Landing Pad. Whiz says, "I'll be there, Sky Lynx." Processor transmits a message via radio. From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle comes in like a bullet, slowing with a mighty blast of his retrotrusters and coming to firey stop, his ramp lowering to the ground with a loud WHANG Processor unstraps and prepares UM for departure. Tower You descend the ramp from Sky Lynx's cargo bay Processor takes Tower. Processor says, "Sky Lynx, I need help in here." From outside Sky Lynx, Space Shuttle extends his internal claws and helps Processor and tower move magnus down his ramp First Aid enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Processor descends the ramp from Sky Lynx's cargo bay Space Shuttle drops Processor. Processor nods to First Aid, "Help me out here." Processor drops Tower. First Aid nods. First Aid says, "emergency" Processor starts moving UM towards Medbay with Towers help. Sky Lynx's form begins to shake. A sudden flash of light and the shifting of seemingly hundreds of parts and the awesome dragon-like creature stands before you! DECEPTICONS BEWARE!!! Obsidian enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Obsidian rushes in hurriedly "How's the big guy doing?" Processor sighs, "Sky Lynx, carry Magnus to Medbay. Whiz enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Whiz wanders into the room to see if anything interesting is happening. Processor is trying to get UM to medbay. First Aid says, "okay, is UM concious?" First Aid says, "Processor, what happened to him?" Sky Lynx picks UM up onto his no so swift form and carries him toward Med bay as swiftly and gently as possible. First Aid leaves to the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Whiz says, "All right, this is going to take some cooperative effort, guys... or maybe not..." Several charred pieces of metal and wires fall to the found as Ultra Magnus's severly damaged body is carried across the landing bay. Obsidian frowns, flashes a brief shrug and smile at Whiz, and darts towards medbay Processor shakes his head, "Ill tell you later, lets do our jobs first. Obsidian leaves to the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Obsidian enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Obsidian leaves to the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Processor leaves to the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. From outside Sky Lynx, You move south to the Entrance to Autobot City... From outside Sky Lynx, You move east to the Main Lobby - First Floor... From outside Sky Lynx, Processor enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the west. From outside Sky Lynx, You move south to the Repair Bay... From outside Sky Lynx, Sky Lynx quickly sets Ultra Magnus's lifeless body up oto a med table and backs away from it looking horrified, but knowing he'll only get in the of the medics From outside Sky Lynx, Processor gets a bed ready for Magnus, still waiting for Obsidian's answer. From outside Sky Lynx, Obsidian frowns "I'm afraid not. I'm just worried about the big guy....well, off back to monitor land" From outside Sky Lynx, Processor turns, "Wait Obsidian." First Aid says, "Sky Lynx, would you go gaurd our front entrance?" Processor says, "Get radio messages to Prime and any others that may still be out there, telling them they need to make sure the bridge is destroyed."" Sky Lynx nods quickly and stumbles out the door hurridly Whiz enters from the Main Lobby - First Floor to the north. Whiz wanders into the room to see if anything interesting is happening. Obsidian nod and heads off Obsidian err nods Obsidian leaves to the Main Lobby - First Floor to the north. First Aid deactivates the containment field enveloping Scorched Torso of Ultra Magnus. Whiz heads over to Ultra Magnus. "What happened and who worked on him? I want a report on his condition!" First Aid says, "Processor kept him alive on the way here. He apperently got into a bad battle with a con." First Aid says, "Um seems to be down to 6 of his normal 104 endurance." Rodimus Prime says, "Autobots, return to base. That includes you, Dinobots." First Aid cautiously begins work on Ultra Magnus's grave injuries, bringing him back from near-termination. ---------------------LOG ENDS - STATISTICS----------------
