"Welcome to Earth, Arcee. Your help will also be appreciated here.”
He stood with his arms behind his back, facing everyone. “Arcee, please take a few Autotroopers to the northern side of the border. Another few will follow me to the southern half. Howlstrike, your tracking skills would be most useful towards the eastern edge of the valley, so take some of the Autotrooper scouts along with you. Broadside, it would be helpful if you could be our eyes in the sky and circle around the valley. Everyone should keep their comms open. The rest of the Autotroopers should remain within the construction site and nearby Omega Supreme. This way, we can ensure that all areas are secured. All good?”
Mirage folded into his alt mode. “Let’s roll.”
Neutro wrote:"Ok, Gears, we are going to need you to get up to the top of pole where the fan is attached. I can set the new limit down here but I need you to make sure everything is lined up on the motor. We don't need these things to fly off thanks to the increased speed they will be going. This isn't one of Wheeljack's crazy inventions."
Grapple wrote: "Optrix, did you say? It's been a long time. So long that my memory appears to be failing me. But nonetheless! It's good to have you down here with us. I've no doubt we'll make use of the services of a bona fide quartermaster. As for Hoist?
Grapple wrote:Yes, he's brilliant. Worked alongside him for ages. No one I'd rather work alongside on a project like this. He's caught more than a handful of my minor oversights over the vorns."
>>”Ahem. Attention...this is Red Alert, Chief Security Officer. In light of recent events, a new security initiative has been authorized by High Command. I’ll be instating a security task force as the first measure of the new initiative. Those interesting in applying, please convene at these coordinates. However, I have selected a few candidates based on their credentials. Jazz, Kup, Pinpoint, Anomaly, Overclock, Bumblebee, Trailbreaker, Rook, and Ratchet. Report to the meeting room at your earliest convenience.”<<
>>"Sorry about my disappearance, Howl. I needed to see Veneer with my own optics. It's...Well. Don't worry about it. Just a heads up that I'm on the Guardian now."<<
Pharma wrote:“Your concern is valid. My greatest concern, Bluestreak, my boy, is the advances the Decepticons — the Constructicons, in particular — will make in their established science while we flounder about. I personally think it would greatly benefit us to have one of them to study. But that’s above both our pay grades, is it not?”
Pharma wrote:“It appears things are going as well as could be expected. If one of you would be so kind as to monitor the device and inform me of any problems that arise, I shall begin a basic visual diagnostic of Omega Supreme’s fuel lines, energon pump, and processor to ensure his vitals are functioning before he attempts to come online. I agree, the diagnostic machine will find any faults, but I’m old fashioned in that I wish to ensure certain areas are working with my own optics. Machines can fail, don’t you know? Either of you are welcome to aid me in this, or continue to refuel or other tasks you need to. Be assured, none of this would be possible without your efforts.”
Arcee wrote:"Hi there, Howlstrike is it? I'm Arcee. What's the game plan?"
Mirage wrote:"Prowl, Springer, I understand you have higher matters to deal with, so if I may, I would like to take these mechs out for border patrol."
Mirage wrote:“Arcee, please take a few Autotroopers to the northern side of the border. Another few will follow me to the southern half.

Bluestreak wrote:“Well, it’s definitely above my pay grade. Heh, “But I share your concern. If we flounder about as you say for too long the ‘Cons will gain the advantage and iron out the rough edges as it were to Devastator. It would be great to have a Constructicon prisoner to study, but that would take a lot of effort to make happen and I doubt the Decepticons would just hand one over to us. Heh.”
Bluestreak wrote:“I hope this works,” Bluestreak muttered openly as it took a few astroseconds for the diagnostic equipment to whir to life.
Bluestreak wrote: “Eureka! We did it! Now, we can finally see exactly what’s ailing Omega and then go about fixing him!
Bluestreak wrote: “I think I can speak for the both of us when I say we’re glad we could help out, Pharma. Also, I have no problem keeping an optic on the diagnostic device and I’ll be sure to let you know if I see any issues arise and specifically what injuries the machine uncovers. Anyway, you go ahead and do your visual inspection. Arclight, you can help him out if you want. I’ve got things covered here.”
Grapple wrote: "I look forward to utilizing your services when I come across some difficult to find piece of equipment. The further this city progresses, the more likely that is to happen, I'm afraid."
Hoist wrote:“Good to see you too, sir! We’ll surely be needing some of those materials in a little while. Thanks for the offer!”
Brawn wrote:“Not that I’m questioning you, buddy, but are you sure that’s a good idea? If they run into trouble, what’s keeping that Predacon from turning on his group?”
Sideswipe wrote:“Sorry about that, guys. Just a little excited to stretch my wheels. Say, Prowl, I know you trained them and all, but do you think your troopers are up to a real test? Nothing like a little real time effort, am I right?”
Pharma wrote:“That’s more than reasonable, Bluestreak.”
Kup wrote:"Howl m'boy! How are you holdin' up, lad?"
Prowl wrote:“I am,” Prowl replied to Brawn in no uncertain terms. “If Howlstrike harms any Autobot in this valley without just cause I will bring the hand of Primus down upon him. He knows that and he also knows that Kup is in the area. Howlstrike won’t misbehave if the one mech who gave him a chance to become an Autobot is around. Besides, the former Pred has been with us for a long time now. If he was going to turn on us, I feel it would’ve happened by now. Still, I’ll keep a close watch on him just in case.”
Prowl wrote:“Your apology is not accepted,”
Prowl wrote: “As far as my Autotroopers are concerned, they are up for anything. Although, they have been in stasis on board the Trion for some time now and were only recently awakened. Perhaps a training exercise to knock the rust off their joints is in order. What exactly did you have in mind, Sideswipe?”
Bluestreak wrote:“Um, Pharma,” Bluestreak called out as he studied the incoming results of the diagnostic program. “I’m starting to get data from the machine and it doesn’t look good. Omega has suffered severe damage to forward hull sections C1, C2 and C3. His primary canon is inoperable and his navigation system is badly damaged and offline. It looks as though he was hit by a massive fusion blast which would explain the severity of the injuries he’s suffered. It would take a weapon like that to do this kind of extensive damage to an Omega Guardian. It must’ve been a really huge Decepticon warship that attacked him. Regardless, it’s going to take us a long time to get him back to full operating capacity. I’m no doctor, but that much I can tell. And more diagnostic data is still coming in. I’ll keep you apprised."
Brawn wrote:“So, you do. That’s good enough for me.”
Sideswipe wrote:“Well, what about some war games? Nothing too big — we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves, right? — but a small handful of us could probe the defenses with stun weapons. Test your troopers while working off any rust gathered while doing menial tasks here. Personally, I could take them all on, but I don’t want to embarrass them too much. Anyone up for the challenge?”
Pharma wrote:“Very good, Bluestreak, my boy, keep us appraised of any changes. I’m going to optic the fuel cells and conduits to make sure there aren’t any leakage and we can go from there.”
Kup wrote:"I tell ya lad, I feel like I'm treadin' water. Between finding Optimus and Megatron escaping and Optimus freaking out over something that took over his mind...I'm playin' catch up as it is. Came down here since I figured it's where I could do the most good for now, but I just got a call from Red Alert for some kinda security meeting. But perimeter patrol sounds good t'me. He can hold his circuits for a bit. Those things never start on time.
Kup wrote:"And don't worry about Prowl. He doesn't trust anyone. The fact that you're not in the brig means you're at least on working terms with him. You've proved yourself plenty and I've no doubt you're gonna keep makin' the doubters eat their words. Meantime...I hear you were on Omega? What the frag happened out there? He looks like he's been in a scuffle with a 'Con battlecruiser or somethin’."
Prowl wrote:“That being said, Sideswipe, if you want to take three or four off-duty troopers out in the field for some training exercises than be my guest. But, and I can’t stress this enough, remain alert for any real threats and keep the exercises small and unassuming. Understood?”
Bluestreak wrote:>>”Hey, Pharma, the diagnostics are showing that there is some damage to a few of the conduits in sections 4b through 7a. There also seems to have been some internal patchwork done, I’m assuming to help keep Omega operational. Since they encountered Decepticons out there I’m going to also assume that it was to help in fighting and escaping from them. So, there may be some leakage, but I can’t tell that from here. Just FYI.”<<
