Shockwave's Tower - Command Center
"Aye Sir," Rapture replied to Shockwave with a sharp salute, largely ignoring his rebuke. She had only answered his question and she regretted nothing. Besides, even if she had, apologies were wasted on Shockwave. With another salute, and a respectful nod, towards Onslaught, she turned on her heel, and exited the command center briskly.
As the doors slid shut behind her, the midnight femme was already transforming. Taking to wing, the Seeker Subcommander made her way to the main hangar as quickly and efficiently as possible. She was eager to begin preparations for the air strike.
The former Cassetticon arrived just as Cyclonus was finishing his announcement. He was reassigning Thundercracker and Skywarp? Despite certain inconsequential feelings of disappointment that she would be separated from her old friends, the prototype femme admitted that it was a sound decision. And it was high time that Cracker and Warp took the lead. Certain changes would need to be made to her mission roster, but that was nothing that she had not prepared for. One did not win a war by being unprepared to improvise.
She surveyed the scene. What exactly is going on here? Are they planning a fight? And Swindle is here. Wonderful. She decided that now was not the time to intervene in such things. Surely if Commandant Cyclonus had wished such raucous activities discontinued, they would have been.
"Air Commandant," Rapture said to Cyclonus, saluting. "City Commander Shockwave has approved the strike on the Tygus Span," she continued, all business. "I need to finalize the mission roster, and transmit it to The City Commander."
"To that end, with your permission, I would like to take Ghost, Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, and Dunehopper."
