Bottom of the Yellow SeaWeirdwolf, to his credit, was a fairly swift combatant on land. That was not the case in water. When he had hit the edge of the undersea dome in alternate mode, it was as though all of his momentum disintegrated. He transformed back into robot mode and began jogging as fast as he possibly could through the water, which, arguably, was not fast. Meanwhile Skullcruncher shot off like a torpedo.
Doing his best to catch up, Weirdwolf found a bit of fortune in his hampered mobility. When the massive Dinobot Sludge created a fissure underwater, he used the suction to propel himself forward, planting his sword in the muck as he drew near and slowing himself until the water pressure stabilized.
>>Weirdwolf, did you make it?<<” He asked through his communicator, never taking his optics away from the colossal Dinobot whom Skullcruncher could see on infrared despite of the mud cloud. >>”I am going for the big one. Watch my flank.”<<
>>”Still here I am,”<< Weirdwolf commed back, yanking his sword free. He circled around Sludge, firing off a barrage of missiles at
Slag in order to cover his long-time friend.

Alpha DomeAt the terminal now, Flamewar largely ignored Misfire’s comments. It was irrelevant information. Her digits danced across the keys of the console. She soon located a master terminal from which she could execute her assigned task. She locked down other terminals: Authorization Tau. Stepping back, Flamewar pointed her fusion bow at the terminal and fired, destroying it.
"What, do trust me well enough to make some decent friends now?"Flamewar’s optics narrowed at the comment from her old pupil. It was uncharacteristic of him. In fact, a lot of his recent behavior had been rather odd. There hadn’t been time to address it privately, and so long as it didn’t interfere with the mission…she supposed it could wait. Turning on her heel, she stormed off toward the control center.
Alpha Dome – Control CenterFlamewar entered the control center, stepping up to the terminal. She entered her credentials, beginning the long task of deleting all of the data from the base. She started with the most sensitive, restricted data. She was not long into her task when a transmission came in from Razorclaw.
>>”Flamewar, this is Lord Razorclaw. I am observing everything through various vidcam feeds both inside and outside the base. The Dinobots appear to be a distraction. Interior scans and images have revealed the presence of three additional Autobots within the Alpha Dome. They are currently near the outer wall at the following coordinates. Move to intercept them immediately! Take no prisoners!”<<
Flamewar’s optics narrowed. Her head snapped up as her optics riveted onto Warwolf. “
Warwolf, a group of three Autobots have breached the dome. Take Cloudbreaker and Misfire. Kill them. Or at least hold them at bay until I arrive,” she ordered, sending him the coordinates of the Autobots. “Go now.”
Turning her attention back to the terminal, Flamewar redoubled her efforts. She needed to destroy any sensitive data. She momentarily considered diverting forces from those sent to combat the Dinobots, but quashed the idea. They needed as much manpower as they could muster to fend off the Dinobots. Still, she wasn’t sure if Misfire was going to be more of a detriment than a help. Flamewar shook her head to clear it. Had to keep going. Scores upon scores of data deleted.
