Autobase Nu ~ Command Center
"I may hold you to that.." Trailbreaker replied to the offer of a return favor from Rollbar. The Defensive Strategist smiled to himself as he accessed the personnel profiles on the base's computer system and searched for Rollbar's. Technically, he may get in trouble if anyone found what he was doing, but technically, Rollbar had been in charge of the running of Autobase Prime, so if anything did come of what he was doing, it would be a battle of technicalities, and he felt that his technicality would win out, in fact, he would put energon on it.
As he put in his security clearence code, Trailbreaker quickly began editing the Throttlebot's profile to reflect his recent temporary promotion "There, all done, you are now officially a former Commander of Autobase Prime.." Tralbreaker began as he gestured for Rollbar to come and look at the monitor "..You want me to download that onto a datapad so you can, how did you put it, 'Rub Freeway's nose in it'?"

Autobase Prime ~ Medbay
As Blurr walked back to where he had been sitting, Jedishen set to on fixing up his injuries. He knew it shouldn't take too long, his friendship with a certain Medic, coupled with the fact that he often spent a lot of time on his own had forced the Scout to become better than average when it came to fixing up injuries, not massively so, but better than your standard Scout or warrior at least.
As he was concentrating, Jedishen heard Blurr's voice once more as the speed king of the Autobot army came and went in a haze of words, that was something to do with being around when Stormfire came out of CR "Sounds like a good idea, let's just hope it's Stormfire who actually emerges from that chamber" Jedishen thought to himself as he moved from one fixed hole to another still outstanding one. Looking to Strafe, the Scout paused for a moment, he hadn't seen any of the other Technobots in some time, and it seemed that he was at somewhat of a loss as to where he went from here.
"Hey Strafe.." The Scout began, not greatly experienced in these kind of situations "..I'm nearly done here, you want to head off up to the Command Center once I'm done and see if there's anything being planned that we can get involved with?" Jedishen finished with a shrug of his shoulders, wondering if he should extend the same offer to Blurr as well. This working with others thing, he was sure he'd get the hang of it sometime, when that was though was anyone's guess.
Over on the other side of the room, Roadbuster was slowly coming out of stasis lock, not in the greatest of moods it had to be said, he very rarely found himself in this position, and it didn't sit well with him at all, on any level. Add to that the fact that he could already hear a voice asking him if he wanted to talk about the aft kicking he'd just recovered from, and the Wrecker was struggling to remember the last time he was this pissed off.
"Oh, I'm feeling great Mirage, nothing like getting slagged by a 'Con and being carried unconscious away from a battle to boost a 'Bot's morale is there?.." Roadbuster began, pushing himself up to a sitting position so he could look at the Spy Master. Mirage wasn't exactly Roadbuster's kind of 'Bot, the up himself attitude that he carried around was just one of many things that contributed to the Wrecker coming to this conclusion, the fact that he would sooner run than fight in some cases also did little to endear him to the Wrecker.
Taking a moment to gather himself, Roadbuster slowly recalled some of the more intricate details of the battle with Roadblock, namely the enormous tank alt mode the Decepticon Commander had been newly sporting, and after a moment, thought it best to agree to a somewhat civil chat with the Spy, after all, he had been generous enough to talk to the Wrecker with a small degree of respect, a rarity in itself "..Yeah, yeah, I'm up for a talk about Roadblock, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who noticed he seems to have recieved some new toys since we last saw him. So what do you want to know?"

Autobase Prime ~ Prime's Ready Room
He looked on as Prime explained all the findings from Grimlock's excursion, and he couldn't agree more. Without doubt, Megatron knew about the potential resources this planet contained, and he wouldn't think twice in looting it, regardless of how many innocent sentients inhabited the planet. Primus only knew what would happen if they tried to stand in the Decepticon Leader's way, in fact it didn't even bare thinking about. His mind was made up even before Optimus said the words, he knew someone had to lead a team there and ensure the safety of that planet and all those who inhabited it, and he wanted to be that someone.
"You can count on me Optimus, I won't let you down again.." Magnus replied, returning the look the Matrix Carrier had fixed on him "..The Decepticons must never be allowed to get any kind of control over that planet, it is our, and specifically my, responsibility to ensure that.." The City Commander paused as he stood up, the recent memory of losing the Tagan Province to the Decepticons was playing heavily on his thoughts, his usual self doubt squashed under his desire to make up for what happened, and this was his chance to do just that "..What are the parameters for this mission? Are we to make contact with the sentients, or are we to keep our presence hidden from them?"

Autobase Prime ~ Corridors
>>Understood Grimlock, I'll be waiting for ya, Inferno out<<
Inferno radioed back as he continued on his way towards the hangar bay. Although he hadn't shown it, the recent loss to the 'Cons had really hit the S&R Specialist hard, and he was more than up for some payback. Luckily, Grimlock's return to the fray was just the ticket.
