Corridors
Ramjet trod along the trashed area of the Ultrax Corridors, Astrotrain following closely. Their destination was the Bounce Chamber, and beyond that, the road to success. This was only the first step of many, but each was just as important as the last, and thus, each will be as important as the first step, which was this very raid. If everything goes well, Ramjet would become powerful, and scarily so. If Blitzwing was at his location, and thus the dam being broken their opper-
Something caught the conehead's piercing red optics; Astrotrain had just stopped dead in his tracks. He didn't do that often, and most of the time it was due to a shocking matter. What could have taken the Triplechanger off guard like that? Ramjet glanced to Waspinator, who had also stopped in his tracks, much like a lemming would when its herd stops.
"Good! I'm glad to have you aboard." Ramjet said, turning his head.
Waiting for the Triple, Ramjet decided to take the intelligent course of action and not to take any action upon the shuttle's odd behavior. They had other matters to attend to. Turning a corner, they reached their destination, the Bounce Chamber.
It was empty, obviously, as Blitzwing had already went ahead and bounced off to his mission. With any luck, they woul- Wait a minute. Ramjet had a hunch that the shock to Astrotrain had to have something to do with Blitzwing. Was he under attack already? Had he even reached his destination? Striding forward, Ramjet pretended to set the destination on the panel, when in reality, he was checking the logs. It was a fact the moment he gazed upon the words; Blitzwing had accidentally been bounced to the Thanatos. But how...?
In the logs, the last jump was set to the Thanatos. The moron probably hit "Last Jump" or something like that by mistake. Of course, that begged the question... Who bounced there from the Thanatos, if anyone? Or was it just from when the Decepticons bounced there from before? Either way, he couldn't leave it in the decididly uncapable hands of the Vehicons with an intruder, especially since they wouldn't recognize his athority. He would have to stay behind, himself.
Either way, this was getting off to a rocky start. They didn't have their diversion, which guarunteed an Autobot intrusion if they were spotted. Thus, they weren't going to have as many Transformers there if they wanted to remain hidden. It would have to be a quick thing, an unnoticable one too. Perhaps...? Yes... That would work.
Suddenly, a transmission from Long Haul caught him by surprise. But it was a good surprise. Things were progressing faster than he once thought that they would. Good. An even better reason to stay behind, especially to search for the one -- if any -- who came from the Thanatos.
Ramjet opened a link to the dump truck, >>Message recieved, Long Haul, I'll have you here in a moment.<<
And with that, he closed the link.
"Waspinator!" Ramjet barked.
The insecticon jumped out of being startled, then turned to face the conehead with a twinge of fear.
"Yezz, Ram-Bot?" Waspinator replied, putting on the best grin he could with his rather... Hideous face.
"You will go in my stead on the mission with Octane and Astrotrain. You will transform into your small wasp mode and disrupt their communications and camera feeds and Oil Flow controls. Then, when that is done, the rest of you will siphon as much feul as you can from the pipe below the surface. I have business to attend to here, and I don't think I have to go to Hoover Dam, anyway. Tell Blitzwing that he'd better recruit as many people as he can up there, and report back to me as soon as possible." Ramjet typed in the coordinates on the Bounce Pad and stepped back.
"Astrotrain, try not to keep information from me in the future. If any of you have a problem, come to me first. This early in the stages of our new movement, utter transparency has to be achieved." Ramjet said as he passed the shuttle by, only stopping to turn to face the group when he made it to the center of the room.
"Good luck, Decepticons." Ramjet said, emphasizing the passion in the last word spoken.
This was going to be good.
