Bee received the comm. How many more are going to land in the next hour? he wondered. This is Bumblebee, Joust. Are you or any of the humans hurt?

Soundwave used the energy he had gathered back on Cybertron to make his hasty journey through space. He entered Earth's atmosphere at a high speed and flew over the air base and landed approximately 5 miles East of where it was positioned. He quickly, but cautiously, climbed out of the large crater and already had his scanners on, looking out for any signs of unwanted attention. He also had his weapon held tightly, ready for anything.
Looking around at this alien planet, Soundwave followed the coordinates and headed towards the air base at a steady pace. He soon stood close to an old hangar as he gazed around at the area. It wasn't long before he spotted Starscream standing outside and Soundwave soon approached the Decepticon jet. He stared intently at Starcream, his visor glowing a deep burgundy red and the first thing he wanted to know was about Megatron.
"Starscream. What exactly happened to Megatron? Are you certain he has been terminated?"

Frenzy was tucked into his alt-mode in Barricade's front seat, resting and letting self-repairs fix the last bit of the damage the humans had managed to cause. stupid squishy scum, fleshlings should be glad I let them live - His angry thoughts about the stinging damage were interrupted when a transmission from Starscream came through. The hacker transformed, careful not to let anything scrape the sore areas, and listen a moment. He narrowed his optics. "P-pay, yeahyeah right-t,"he grumbled, then reached out, tapping on Barricade's dashboard to test if he was online. "Y-y-you g-get th-that-t t-tr-transmission?"

Gotcha! See ya soon! Scattershot replied cheerfuly, before changing course. As he drove, the demolitions expert considered how best to make his entrance. It was one thing to confirm that he'd be showing up, but showing up entirely was a whole different matter. The mech debated different ideas right up until he pulled up outside the air base. Upon seeing the chain-link fence, an idea finally came to Scattershot, and he transformed, before digging through his subspace for some of the explosives he carried there.
The pink mech grinned a slag-eating grin when his fumbling hands settled upon a familiar shape. Explosive? Certainly. Flashy? Oh, FRAG, yes. Attention-getting? If it didn't get anyone's attention, then Scattershot was as good as an Autobot.
Moments passed before a loud explosion went off, sending segments of the fence flying into the air, along with colorful sparks and flashes of light. Scattershot drove through the falling debris, blasting a victorious-sounding song over his speakers as he went.
Yoo hoo! Starscream! I made it!
--------------------
Showtime soon pulled into the Tranquility area, worn out from driving so far on so little energy. She pulled off the road near a lookout overlooking the town, and shut down all but the necessary systems, such as her scanners. She didn't want to be ambushed by a Decepticon, but at the same time, she didn't want to drain herself completely, in case Bumblebee needed help. It was probably an odd site, seeing a flashy blue Corvette sitting out in the boonies, but for the moment, Showtime could only watch, and wait for the other Autobots.

Thankfully, no, Sir Bumblebee. I didn't land near the humans to cause harm to them, and I didn't brake anything. I will be trying to leave this area when they aren't looking my way. Joust replied back as he watched the humans.
He waited until they were looking somewhere else to make a break for it.
....He hope no one would wonder why a tank was going off on it's own. But, consider where he was, a tall robot would be more noticed than a tank right now.
~*~*~ Wheelie pondered exploring while he waited for orders, to run into another Autobot, or perhaps he should asked whether they have a base or whatnot.
......Well.
Exploring won't hurt, right?
...Oh what the heck, let's just ask, but be safe than sorry: Where would we be meeting?
OOC: *bonks her postbunnies* Oy, wake up! ...at least for the Wheelie part! >.< *shake fist in annoyance*

A quick charge shot over the Mustang's dashboard, hopefully shocking the little nuisance tapping on him. "Of course I heard it," grumbled the shock trooper through the radio speakers, "but I think the better question is, are we going to heed the warning?"

Frenzy jerked his hand back and shot a quick, annoyed look at Barricade's dashboard. He sat back, crossing his arms. "Hm. Sc-screamer-r or-r Autoautobots l-l-looking-g f-for us-s."

Starscream crossed his arms over his chest as he made his way over to Soundwave, “He was attacked by the humans and the Autobots. I made a strategic retreat when I saw him fall.”
The sudden explosion and noise caught his attention as he watched the repulsively coloured Ferrari tearing across the base. If anyone had been looking carefully they would have seen Starscream’s features twitch as rage filled him.
You idiot! Don’t you realize that any activity that might even slightly suggest that we are regrouping will bring the fleshlings – and the Autobots – down on our heads faster than you could imagine?!
~*~*~*~
Red Alert was reluctant to step out of the darkness but he was more than happy to scold Bumblebee.
”Don’t do that! What if someone sees you?”

Bee raised an optic ridge, but transformed again. "Fine, but there's no one else around...did you scan an alt-mode? Or was that damaged too?"

"It seems that my scanning ability was damaged." Red felt a frisson of fear run through him, "Have we got someone here who can repair me?" Forgetting his fear of being found, he took a tenetive step out of the shadows.

"We have Ratchet, don't worry."Bumblebee began calculating the best route back to Tranquility. He suddenly and fervently wished that they had a base or at least a safe place to hide. He could stay with Sam without attracting too much attention, but he doubted the rest of the Autobots could. He responded to Wheelie with To tell you the truth, I don't know.

Scattershot would have pouted if he had been in bipedal mode. Well jeeze, YOU'RE no fun...I wasn't aware that the fleshlings were that big of a concern...and Frag the Autobots...surely they're not that big of a problem?
As it was, Scattershot decided that his best course of action would be to transform and stretch out. "And besides that...if they did come for us, they wouldn't have much trouble getting to us...really shoddy workmanship on the fleshlings' part if you ask me...My little 'display' was more flash than bang, and it took out a good section of the fence..." The mech shook his head, more to hide his amusement than anything.
----------------------
Over the vorns, many things had come to pass. Cities had come and gone, as had mechs and femmes. WakeJumper was jostled out of an old memory-cum-nightmare, the one of the day he lost his parents and home within the space of a joor, only to be rescued by Deluge. Shuttering his optics again, the mech sighed.
Then he received a transmission. Sitting up, he hit his helm hard on the low ceiling. Cursing soon followed as the mech rolled out of the nook he had hidden in to recharge. Shaking a bit of the dust off of his frame, WakeJumper took off from the small planet he had been on.
-----
Systems came online as WakeJumper entered the atmosphere of the third planet from a medium-sized yellow star. He had followed the coordinates, and had spent a good deal of time in interplanetary stasis, only to land in a small body of water near a building surrounded by vehicles. In the chaos and confusion, helped by the steam generated from his landing, WakeJumper headed for the safety of the trees.
After walking for a ways, he came upon a lake that had several vehicles parked nearby, with sirens blaring and lights flashing. WakeJumper noticed that there were many aquatic vehicles out on the lake, all of them seemingly searching for something. Nodding to himself, and keeping well out of site, WakeJumper scanned one of the larger land-based vehicles, as well as one of the aquatic vehicles, before transforming into the land-based alt and driving off.
He opened up a comm line on one of the Autobot frequencies, and hoped that he'd get a response.
This is WakeJumper, reporting for duty. Requesting coordinates for rendevous with any Autobots in the area.

Deluge drifted through space, wishing for more company than her own thoughts. She didn't like being on her own - she got lonely quickly. She perked up when she received a transmission, relieved - she could use a chance to refuel. There were only a few cubes of energon stored in her subspace, and she had been stretching them out as the number shrank. She aimed towards the coordinates and shut down all but the necessary systems to save energon.
Some time later, she returned to full consciousness, helped along by the impact of her protoform hitting the ground. Standing, she winced slightly. She'd been aiming for a small body of water, and had miscalculated. Frag, that smarted, she hated hitting the ground when she made planetfall. Carefully, she approached the body of water and took a good look at the vehicles there. She scanned one in her size range, checked for local lifeforms, then stepped into the water and transformed, taking a breem in the cool liquid as she sent out a comm. Deluge here, any Autobots in the area?
----------------------------------
Bumblebee picked up both comms. "It's raining Autobots," he couldn't help muttering, before making a scan to find exactly how many new Autobots had landed. WakeJumper, this is Bumblebee, transmitting coordinates to another Autobot in your area. Deluge, stay put, there'll be someone arriving soon, I think. To Joust, Showtime, and Wheelie, he sent a second set of coordinates roughly the same distance from each other and in a secluded spot. Showtime, Joust, and Wheelie, group together at this area, and I'll come as soon as I can to get you.

WakeJumper let out a pleased sound when he picked up Deluge's comm. His Big Sister was here! Moments later, he received Bumblebee's comm. Understood, Bumblebee. En route now. Turning, the SUV made his way to Deluge's coordinates. Once he arrived at the coordinates, he headed for the dock, pulling out onto it carefully. Deluge! I know you're here!
------------
Showtime fired up her offline systems at Bumblebee's comm. Understood...Just how many of us have arrived? She couldn't keep the confusion out of her comm, as she had never heard of anyone named Joust or Wheelie in her time in the Autobots. The femme headed for the coordinates, playing a piece by Vivaldi on her speakers.

Deluge shifted in the water at the sound of an approaching vehicle. 'Jumper? You made it! She couldn't keep a near laugh of joy from her comm.
-----------------
From my count, ten or eleven, including me. "Red, you good for a while walking? I've got a route back to a rendezvous, but it's kind of far."

WakeJumper would have grinned if he had been in bipedal mode. Yup! I made it safe and sound...what about you? oh, and before I forget, are you anywhere near the dock? The mech had an idea for how he could enter the lake, but he didn't want to accidentally injure Deluge if she was anywhere close by.
-----------------------------
Showtime made a surprised noise, slowing down slightly, but continued on anyways. So many already... This should be interesting, at the very least... Well, hopefully, things will work out for all of us. Showtime kept her tone light, hoping to disguise the nervousness she felt. She hadn't really known many mechs or femmes in her life, only those she had grown up around, and then later, those she had worked with briefly.

Yeah, I'm alright. Over here. The green speedboat pulled up on the side of the dock next to WakeJumper. Glad to see you're okay, squirt. Deluge's tone was warm - of all the mechs to find first on this planet, her Little Brother was definitely one of the top ones.

Glad to hear it... WakeJumper backed up a bit, before revving his engine and speeding down the dock until he was airborn. And I'm still not a squirt. With that, he transformed from SUV-mode to speedboat mode, landing in the water with a large splash, and amused laughter. Isn't this planet awesome?

Post by Latte on Sept 20, 2008 20:04:27 GMT -5
Deluge laughed too. You'll always be a squirt at spark, 'Jumper. How could you not like the planet? It's apparently mostly water - though I wouldn't have guessed it.

Yeah...That was actually a pretty nice surprise...I landed in some water, actually...oh, and there's another Autobot here, at the very least...Bumblebee, I think he said his name was...Maybe we should head to where he is? WakeJumper turned in a lazy circle, watching the skies.
