The knight blinked in surprise at the startled femme, and tilted his head, "...My name is Joust, Lady." He paused for a moment before continuing, "I am sorry about startling you, I did not mean too."
He wondered what could it be, was she looking at something else and then heard his voice? ......or it could be his optics.
He sighed to himself and smile faintly. "Milady, I am not a decepticon, not anymore. I have become a Autobot.... after I betray my old allies in keeping some innocents alive, Lady."
Joust looked as nonthreatening as he could, and tried not to sigh again. ....His optics are going to get him in trouble, huh?
OOC: I can't wait to see what reaction Red Alert is going to have, lawl. XD

Showtime raised an optic ridge, a confused look on her faceplates. "Whoah, whoah...back up...you used to be a Decepticon...then you betrayed your allies...Primus..." She shook her head. "Well, at least things will be interesting...I'm Showtime, by the way...."

Joust nodded his head in agreement at what she said. He smiled again under his helmet and bowed toward Showtime, he said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Showtime."
And, how right she was. ....There going to be interesting times ahead.
OOC: ...next post I actually might have Wheelie show up, lawl. XD

Red continued to look around nervously, “I can walk, but I fear what might happen if we are spotted.”
~*~*~*~
Starscream aimed a cannon at Scattershot and snarled, “This is war, not an energon reception! It is not meant to be fun! As much as I am loathe to admit it, yes, the humans do pose a threat, especially in light of the fact that our numbers are far less than those of the Autobots and the two groups have allied themselves. At this point in time we are to remain covert, is that understood?” He eyed Scattershot for a moment, “Considering your colour and your entry, I highly doubt that it is.”
With that, Starscream turned on his heel and went to find Soundwave. As much as he hated it Soundwave was the only other command level mech here and he needed to “pick his brains” as it were. “We need to discuss establishing a base of operations. We cannot stay within the United States as everywhere is being closely monitored.”
~*~*~*~
It had been a long journey, and that wasn’t just the trip from Cybertron either. Nightstrike had drifted aimlessly for what seemed ever when she one day found herself barrelling into a wheat field somewhere in a country called England. Her landing had been during the day, so she had gone virtually unnoticed as she streaked across the sky in her comet form. A series of scans confirmed that the only life signs in the immediate area were of those of lower classed animals. Her tall, lanky protoform rose from the pit and took in her surroundings, learning what she could and as fast as she could from something called the internet. Earth was an odd place; It was organic and teeming with life so different to what she had known. As she stood there, the roar of jet engines approached her location and made her look up at something that, although had been created by a much inferior species, was oddly graceful and beautiful. “Gotcha!” she said as she scanned one of the Typhoons flying overhead. “Let’s see what you can do then, shall we?” Taking to the sky, she fell into position with the other jets, masking her signature and hacking into their comms until a familiar voice broke in. It was Starscream giving out coordinates. Fine, it was time to have a family reunion. Breaking off from the other jets she raced to the abandoned base.

Somewhere, deep within a vast desert in what was known to be the state of Nevada...a group of abandoned hangars sat, yet, they seemed to be in immaculate condition. However, there seemed to be no human presence at all...unless you wanted to include the highly armed guards at the gates of this isolated airbase.
Even they had no idea what possibly could be so valuable that it required round-the-clock surveillance; even they were not allowed to see, nor even know, what lay within the hangars.
------------------------------
A message roused the femme out of a deep stasis; various systems slowly flickered online. Shaba then ran a scan of her surroundings, a few organics close by...and further away, there was a very familiar signature.
Engines roared to life, though it couldn't be heard from outside the hangar, as the walls were well soundproofed. Now, to get the door open; the jet then fired a missile at the door, causing it to blow apart in a fiery blast.
------------------------------
"What in the Hell?!" one guard yelled to the others when the explosion was heard, than a fireball rose into the air. They immediately started to run toward the hangars.
Shaba had emerged from the wrecked structure and transformed into robot mode, which was much more beautiful than the ugly jet that was her alt-mode. She stood, towering over buildings, yet, she had a slender, almost delicate, build.
The guards caught sight of something large, moving about; stopping dead in their tracks.
"I knew it, Tommy, I knew it...ALIENS...we're guarding f-ing ALIENS!" one screamed frantically, then tried to bolt in the opposite direction. "You heard our C.O., Bergenson...if anything goes wrong, we must contain the threat" the senior officer replied in a shockingly calm voice.
"Containment?! You gotta be kidding me, c'mon, Tommy, we're outta here!" the one named Bergenson said to his fellow Sergeant and the two ran for the gate.
They didn't get far...Shaba saw the organics running, knowing that she had been spotted...this would not do.
The two young men froze when they saw that the creature had overtaken them and was standing at the gate. They gasped and stared at it...large glowing emerald eyes glared down at them, its long slender arms ended in hands not unlike a human's, but with long bladed fingers. However, they could not see much else as it was dark.
"Stay right where you are and you will not be harmed!" the C.O.'s booming voice sounded from behind the two Sergeants. The Major walked up to it, brandishing a large weapon that neither of the two had ever seen before.
However, Shaba wasn't in the mood for playing games with these fleshlings. Her right hand quickly transformed into a cannon, pointed it straight at the men...and fired.
Now, to head towards the coordinates that were contained in the last transmission. Her processors went over the rest of the message, and more importantly, who it had came from.
Shaba's optics narrowed as hatred welled up within her spark.
A few minutes later, an F-117 flew off into the night, heading south.

Soundwave thought about Starscream's words. The jet was right, they couldn't stay here and it would only be a matter of time before they were found by either the humans or the Autobots. He stood still and thought about an area in which they could be hidden but yet open and large enough for them to construct a base on.
He was glad that he had scanned parts of the planet's surface when he entered through the atmosphere. After thinking silently about where to go, he turned to Starscream.
"Suggestion: Further South into an area that is known by the humans as Mexico. There is an empty space of land 25 miles South from the Mexican border and the nearest main transportation road is 15 miles. It is 28 miles South West of a city called El Paso. It is far enough for us to remain there secluded from anyone."

Deluge transformed, stepping out of the water. "I think I can manage."She raised an optic ridge at the younger mech.
------------------------
"Alright. We'll stay here and wait for WakeJumper. I'll let you know if you need to hide." Hey, WakeJumper, could you hurry? The longer we're here, the more likely it is we'll be seen, and I want to get back soon. Bumblebee couldn't keep a hint of nervousness out of his voice. Right now, he just wanted to get Red fixed, get the rest of the new arrivals together and to somewhere safe and hidden, and go back to protecting Sam. He didn't want to be caught out here with only one, damaged mech, especially since Starscream was one of the Decepticons that they didn't know the whereabouts of. He shifted slightly, scanning constantly.
---------------------------
Mosquito found an alt mode, transforming and getting onto a road. She sent out a comm. This is Mosquito, can anyone hear me?

WakeJumper chuckled over the comm. Juuuuust making sure... At Bumblebee's comm, he tensed slightly, before responding.We're on our way. Frag...I just hope we get there before the Decepticons do... His chipper mood was replaced with a more serious attitude.Deluge, we need to get moving...The sooner we meet up with the others, the better.
----------------
Scattershot scowled a bit when Starscream brandished his cannon, before muttering something about mechs who didn't know how to relax. Really, the humans weren't so bad...sure, they were gross organic beings, but they had an eye for style, and their music wasn't too bad either..."You'd be surprised what I do understand..."
Once Starscream went to talk to the other arrival, Scattershot lost interest in the Seeker's actions, instead choosing to browse the internet. His optics raised when he found the myriad of colors that humans could paint their vehicles, but quickly scowled when he discovered that most of the really cool paintjobs seemed to be on black vehicles. Black, in his opinion, was an atrocious color.

Got it. Deluge carefully climbed onto WakeJumper's roof rack and transformed again.

After wiggling slightly to make sure Deluge wouldn't fall off, WakeJumper headed for the coordinates Bumblebee had given him. As he drove, he scanned the radio stations, before picking up some rock music. Well, I'll say this...the dominant species certainly has...interesting definitions of "music"...

Deluge listened for a moment. Yeah, it's pretty strange.

Calypso was scanning the ground as she flew toward the coordinates trying to see her allies, the pirate noticed a SUV carrying a sea green speedboat.
She flew even lower to get a better look before grinned mentally, so she found them. Good. ....and hahahah!!! She chuckled at seeing Deluge being carried, Oy! Mateys! .....Deluge, ye... just look silly bein' carried by t' runt. Just sayin'.

Would you prefer I walk and tell the humans and possibly Decepticons where we are? There's no water route, you know. Deluge would have liked to roll her optics at the seaplane, but at the moment, in alt-mode, she couldn't. She settled for a faint shift of position.

No, but 't still silly and amusin'. She paused and snorted, ....Methinks 'f ye had t' watch me be carry, ye would laugh t', Deluge. Calypso replied cheerfully, she may not have her rum, but hey! She was getting amusement so she be less likely to go on a rampage of death for her rum.
Slaggit.

And if it was possible, I would smack you right out of the sky for that. Deluge didn't quite mean it - but she still meant to cause some pain later.

If ye can catch me, and brin' 't on. Calypso almost yawned as she flew by them.
The pirate felt no reason to be worried at all as she mentally grinned.
Although, perhaps she should be.

Are you two already arguing? WakeJumper teased as he drove to the coordinates. Really, he knew he was only inviting trouble later, but he couldn't help teasing the two femmes. Do I have to separate you two?
One thing he had found out about his alt-mode was that it had a few unique features, such as lights and sirens. He decided to make good use of them as he sped down the highway to the coordinates Bumblebee had given him. At this point, he didn't really care how ridiculous he, Deluge, and Calypso looked, as it wasn't every day that a huge orange, black, and silver Search-and-Rescue vehicle was spotted tearing down the highway with a sea green speedboat on its roof and a seaplane flying by overhead, all that mattered was that he get to the other Autobots and assist the injured.

Arguin'? Nah... we be just havin' a fun teasin' talk. Calypso replied before snorting and continued teasing, Hah! I like t' see ye try t' separate us 'f we get int' a fight. 't be interestin' to see 'f ye can stop us, runt.
She kept on flying as something come to mind, and she asked, And what t' frag do ye mean by already, runt?

Deluge laughed. You haven't seen "arguing" yet, squirt. I doubt you really could separate us, too.

Starscream considered Soundwave’s suggestion for a moment, “You are forgetting their border patrol. Perhaps we should move further south than that.” A self satisfied smirk plastered itself over his faceplates just because he knew he had caused Soundwave some inconvenience. “We know very little about the Autobot’s current state of affairs. Send out Ravage and Laserbeak to see what they can find.”
~*~*~*~
Nightstrike had flown through the night in spite of the exhaustion that was starting to plague her. It was a blessed relief when she neared the coordinates and started to pick up on other Decepticon signatures. It seemed to her, however, that it would be wise to observe the small gathering for a while before making an appearance. There appeared to be a mech... no... femme? Whatever it was, it could be seen a mile away and it had obviously irritated Starscream. She wasn’t shocked to see Soundwave there. No doubt he’d probably soon be planning a way to bring Megatron back due to chafing under Starscream’s spurious leadership. Was that all of them? Surely there had to be more on the way. Casually she made her way over, still remaining in the shadows, “Nice place you’ve got here Starscream. Needs a femme’s touch though, if you ask me.”
Starscream whirled around and aimed into the darkness, “Show yourself or else!”
“My, my, my... Leadership has made you rather jumpy, hasn’t it?” Nightstrike said as she moved into the dim moonlight.
“What is your designation?” Starscream’s weapons remained trained on her.
“Nightstrike, at your command.” A crooked grin spread over her lip components as she gave a bow.
~*~*~*~
Red nodded and moved back so he was somewhat hidden again. “Bumblebee, we need to decide what we are to do about a base. We cannot remain scattered like this. It leaves us far too vulnerable to attack.”
