Chaos had landed near the main entrance to the Autobot base after hearing Red Alert's order and transformed out of vehicle mode into robot mode. He turned to look back at his companion and said, "Hey speed demon, if you don't want to miss out on getting some action then I suggest you follow me and see what Red wants." He promptly began walking inside the base and through the various corridors in order to get to Red Alert's location. Upon entering the room he saw the likes of Bumblebee, Calypso, Deluge, and others along with the bot who summoned them all in the first place, Red Alert. Looking at his superior, Chaos said, "I have come at your request to return to base. How can I be of assistance?"
Maverick did a 180 and sped in the direction of his comrade. While flooring it, Maverick transformed into robot mode as he entered the main entrance of the base, doing a rolling front flip for good measure. Keeping up his momentum, the blue and black Autobot ran through the corridors and entered the room where the others were at. "Maverick reporting for duty, Sir!" the bot said upon his entrance while coming to a screeching halt beside Chaos. Maverick scanned the room and was surprised to see so many others there too. "If I didn't know any better I'd say we're going on a full scale assault on the Decepticons or something." he added, thinking aloud.

Red felt a flurry of panic at the mention of Decepticons but tried to keep it under wraps, "No, no! No Decepticons... I hope." He turned back to the console, "We've picked up a signal and we're going to go investigate it."
~*~*~*~
Nightstrike finally came out of the shadows, "I will go as well."
Starscream only gave her a quick glance and could feel his hackles rise ever so slightly but that was quickly ignored when the door opened yet again and another femme stumbled into the room.
"Blizzard, CMO reporting for duty, sir."
Starscream eyed her up for a moment, "About time you showed. We'll need you on our upcoming mission."
"Yes, sir, when do we leave?"
Starscream gave her one of his signature smirks, "We leave immediately." Holding his head high he swept through the room towards the door, "Decepticons, to the shuttle."

Desinex followed after Starscream, pausing only to glare at Scattershot before she left the room.
Scattershot followed only once he was absolutely sure the blue femme was well away from the room, muttering about tempermental glitches.

Soundwave still sat by the console. He didn't speak up to say that he was coming on the mission but he was already prepared to head off. There was a slight glint in Soundwave's visor as his gaze followed Starscream across the room suspiciously. He didn't like the idea of taking orders from Starscream but he didn't want to confront him about it, it just isn't Soundwave's style. Instead, he would keep his watch on him and let his silence do the talking.
He stood up and turned to look at Frenzy. Soundwave gave a slight nod to him to indicate that the little Decepticon come with him. Soundwave then faced towards the door and soon enough, began following Starscream.

Shaba came out of recharge, having no clue what was going on until she saw several other Decepticons...and of course, Starscream was leading the way.
Her optics narrowed 'Just what is our Great Fearless Leader up to now?' she thought, stifling a yawn as she approached the Decepticon Commander.
"Hmm, what's going on?" Shaba asked, casually.

Frenzy clambered down and followed Soundwave, careful not to stray too close to anyone's feet.

((Sorry guys, I have to back out for a while because as of the 8th I will be off to Oklahoma for three weeks and I won't have any internet access. I'm just making mine bow out for the moment but I promise to be better about keeping up with posting once in the new year.))
Just as Starscream was about to answer Shaba, he recieved an important transmission from Shockwave that demanded his full attention. Once finished with the comm he then addressed all of those gathered, "There has been a new development that requires me to stay here for the moment. Nightstrike and Blizzard, you are to stay. The rest, go and investigate. We will join you when our work here is done." With that, he turned on his heel and marched off to the command centre, motioning to Blizzard and Nightstrike as he left.
Nightstrike scowled, very unhappy at being ordered to stay behind, but knew she had no choice.
Blizzard also was not happy about sending a team into the field without a medic but it was not her place to question those in command.
~*~*~*~
Just as Red Alert was about to lead the way to the shuttle, his console suddenly came to life, a thick and steady stream of comm calls flooding into him. At first it was difficult to interpret all the data and he only snatched bits and pieces. Slowly he was able to discern that there had been a Decepticon attack at one of the outposts and while it was now over, the station was in ruins and they needed someone to go and see what data had been stolen. Rubbing his brow, he turned to the group, "Bumblebee, I want you to take the team and investigate. I will join you as soon as this latest crisis is settled."

Bumblebee nodded, standing a little straighter. "Okay." He turned to the rest of the Autobots. "Let's go. The sooner we get the shuttle ready, the sooner we find this thing."

Showtime nodded, as did WakeJumper. Showtime seemed a bit concerned, and voiced her thoughts, "If we've picked up the signal, wouldn't it be likely that the Decepticons have as well?"
---------------------
Desinex raised an optic ridge, but said nothing, still heading for the shuttle.
Scattershot pouted a little to himself, but shrugged it off nonetheless.
((Lame post is laaaame >.<))

Soundwave gave Starscream nothing more then just a blank look and soon enough turned to the other Decepticons.
"This mission requires no more further delay. I'm sure Starscream and the two femmes that went with him will catch us up shortly."
Without giving anyone a chance to answer, he marched down the hallway and entered the hangar where their ship was kept. He inspected the outside of the ship as he waited for those to join him. He felt rather smug that Starscream was gone, though for a short while it may be, but at least it was a nice break from the Air Commander's annoying voice.

Shaba tried to hide a smile after hearing about Starscream's change of plans; she absolutely could not stand the DAC...especially because he was her superior. She also thought Soundwave was downright creepy, but he was much better to be around than Starscream.
When it came time to head to the hangar, Shaba didn't hesitate. She had been languishing at the Decepticon base for what seemed to be an eternity, doing the most menial and boring of tasks. And the training...or lack of, actually...was even worse.
The femme gaspsed at the sight of the marvel that was the Decepticon ship, docked in the hangar bay, and waited for the order to board.

Bumblebee nodded. "Yes, so we have to keep our guard up." He made his way down the hall towards the hangar.
--------------
Frenzy walked by Soundwave's foot, glancing back and watching as the jet femme entered the hangar after them. He rolled his optics and snorted. He wasn't exactly fond of her, she irritated him, no different than most jets. Anyway, the ship wasn't so shocking. The hacker wondered how long of a break they would get from Starscream and his ego - and voice.

Showtime's doorwings went up at that, but she nodded nonetheless, following Bumblebee.
WakeJumper frowned, taking a quick mental inventory of the supplies he had on his person and in his subspace, before nodding to himself. He was confident he had plenty of supplies on hand, along with the correct tools, and he could improvise if need be. Smiling a bit, he glanced at Deluge and Calypso, "Shall we then?"
---------------------
Scattershot grinned a bit. New opportunity to flirt? Oh, FRAG, yes. He moved closer to Shaba, giving Desinex a cold look, which the blue femme ignored. Scattershot smiled a bit, trying to turn on the charm, "So, think we'll find anything interesting?"
Desinex rolled her optics behind her visor at Scattershot's antics, and turned her attention towards the ship. She hadn't missed Frenzy's snort, and in fact had similar thoughts about Shaba. She found the other femme to be highly irritating at best. All that was put aside in favor of something which concerned the sniper. "If we've picked up this signal, surely the Auto-glitches have as well...How should we deal with them if we run into them?"

Deluge grinned. "Let's." She followed Bumblebee and Showtime.

Shaba was taken aback when the 'Con designated 'Scattershot' spoke to her; she didn't particularly care for the Decepticons, as she was a Neutral and disagreed with their way of life.
"Oh...I don't know...might be just nothing. I'm just happy to get off this rock for a little while without that fraggin' Starscream" Shaba lowered her vocaliser so just Scattershot could hear.
Yes, Shaba WAS glad that Starscream wouldn't be along on this mission, even if it was just for a short time. He was not only annoying, but he could also be downright abusive.
There were two mechs that Shaba DID miss...they were Skywarp and Thundercracker. Yes...they were Seekers, but Shaba, for some reason, liked them and felt comfortable around them. She couldn't explain it, but those two were her only friends amongst the Decepticons.

"Heh...well, at least this promises to be an interesting journey...Even if the company is rather lacking, if you catch my drift..." Scattershot winked a bit, smiling.

Soundwave conitnued to slowly pace around the ship, checking to make sure everything was fine on the ship's exterior. He kept an optic on where Frenzy was so he didn't step on the little mech by mistake. After hearing that the others had turned up, he moved around and approached them.
"The signal was easy to pick up. There is no doubt that the Autobots have also found it, so we will deal with them if the time comes. I am going to check over the ship's systems before we leave, we can not afford any problems during the expedition. Everyone should be on board by the time I have finished so we can leave straight away."
Soundwave then slowly look down at Frenzy.
"You will run a diagnostic on the ship's weaponry systems. Make sure there are no malfunctions. We might need them if we encounter the Autobots."
With that, Soundwave entered the code on the ship and soon enough the ramp lowered. He entered the ship and sat down in the main pilot's chair and began to carefully check the ship's main flight systems.

Frenzy looked up and nodded, then hurried into the ship and climbed up to a console. He connected with it and got to work, examining and mentally sorting the lines of code that scrolled across his vision, hunting for even the smallest glitch.

Calypso grinned savagely and said, "Good, runt. "
The priate blinked in surprise in what Red said before, decided she will just get ready, after gathering her things she needs, and remarked to Wakejumper. "Of course, I am ready to go. Let's see if we can find some sh-er....interesting things."
She followed her allies.
~*~***~ Wheelie went off to get some things he would need for this journey, before folllowing the yellow mech to where they would be going.
OOC: Joust and Hoshiko tomorrow.

Desinex nodded to herself, already beginning to take inventory of her weaponry and ammunition, even as she headed for the shuttle. It wouldn't do to run out of ammo in the middle of a firefight, but Desinex was sure she had enough stored up in her subspace to last awhile.
Scattershot frowned as he dug through his subspace, shoving aside a few of the trinkets he had picked up along the way in favor of finding his favorite 'toys', which consisted of explosives of varying strength and chemical structure. All of the explosives were carefully handled, and just as carefully stored. He also had a relatively decent amount of ammunition for his own gun, not that he intended to use it, as the ammo was hard to come by anymore, but hey, it never hurt to be prepared, right? Grinning a bit, he glanced at Shaba, holding out his arm in an attempt to be a gentlemech, "Shall we then?"
------------
Showtime ran over the list she kept of the different types arrows she had in her personal stores, and how many she had of each kind, along with the amounts of supplies needed to either make more, or repair damaged rounds. She didn't know of anyone in the Autobot ranks who also used arrows for their weapon, and as such, had learned how to make the ammunition herself. Satisfied that she had plenty of ammunition for her bow, she glanced around at the other Autobots, wondering if they were ready to go or not.
WakeJumper chuckled a bit, following Deluge and Calypso. At least the journey promised to be interesting...
