"Yes..." Starscream answered. "Drones....scouting..."

He then stood up. This was the time to show strength and resolve.

"Keeping an optic on the Autobots is exactly what we should do." he said. "See to it that the drones are in the air. I don't think us going in the air is a wise idea, not until we assessed all our weapons and damage. And we also need to look over this...junk."

He looked at Lock On, then back at Vertigo.

"Would it be too much to ask if any of this scrap was still functional?" he asked, as much to himself as the others. "Based on what the drones show us, we'll make our next move. The Autobots cannot be ignored, but engaging them right now, without reconnaissance would be foolish."

Bridge of the Lollipop...

"Yes sir." Vertigo responded to Starscream's command, and gave a little salute.

He headed off the bridge, out of the wreckage as he needed to be airborne to deploy the drones.

-+-


"Some of this scrap might be, Commander." Feedback replied to Starscream's muttering, partially buried under some equipment, still looking for his faceplate. "I haven't picked up any radiation from the transponders, so I don't think we have communications, but the back up generators are running fine..."

He pulled himself out from under the equipment, still no luck on the faceplate. He looked at Starscream and Lock On. "If we reroute some of the main power supply energon to the back up and use it minimally, we might have enough power to use some of the ships systems. Run some diagnostics and see what's working. Possibly even send out a distress beacon."

-+-


Lock On looked disgruntled. He had nothing to do, Vertigo was off doing his thing, this Feedback guy was rambling on about scrap....

"Will there be enough energon for us, though?" He half muttered.

"Feedback." Starscream said. "Can you get me schematics of this crate? Or what's left of it? I want to know what systems we have, even if they're not working, as well as what's in the section of the shuttle that broke off. I imagine the Autobots have staked it out for themselves, if they survived."

"Lock On." Starscream said. "If you need something to do, maybe you can go outside, walk or fly, and see if anything can be salvaged around the crash site."

Starscream then tried his comm link, but it wasn't working. What the hell is wrong with me? he thought. I can't fly, my radio isn't working. What is going on? He then turned back to Lock On.

"Since you and Vertigo are so close, stay in contact with him and keep me apprised of the status of the drones." he ordered, then turned to leave.

He wanted to personally inspect the remaining parts of the shuttle, but also wanted to get away from these guys. They were unnerving him. Especially the big one.

Feedback frowned... not that any one could tell. This was one hell of a predicament. He lunged back into the debris, pushing it aside to get to the controls. "It's a pretty much standard shuttle..." He said to Starscream as he began bringing a screen weakly to life. "Got your life support, now non functioning communications, but I should be able to use my own onboard equipment for short distance communications. Artificial gravity... not functioning... very basic weapon systems... we could probably repair those... " he trailed off as the information scrolled by on the screen. "Most of that stuff is here on the bridge. The aft had thrusters, engines, a few bits of comms gear, and some weapons that were controlled from here."

He tilted his head as he downloaded all the schematics to a data pad that had survived the crash. "If the Bots are clever enough they may be able to use the weapons, but only if they have power." He handed the data pad to Starscream.

---

Outside The Lollipop

Lock On made a face and left the bridge, hopefully without Starscream noticing the face he made. He made it outside the shuttle just in time to see Vertigo making it back, sans drones.

"Hey Go!" He called out. "Gonna scout for a short distance, see if anything is worth keeping that fell off this wreak."

---

Vertigo, about to transform, kept in the air. "Okay." He muttered. "Need help?"

---

"Nah, go shadow the drones, but the Air Commander wants you to keep in touch with me to keep in touch with him. So don't go far." Lock On said if not a bit sarcastically.

---

Vertigo sighed and changed course to shadow the drones. "I lost contact not far from the area, so I will do my best." He said before out of 'earshot'. "Short range comms are short. Predator's out of range even, but pinging back his loc." With that the more stealthy of the pair was out of range.

---

Lock On sighed and kicked a rock. "Man, this place is even worse than Earth." He muttered, lept up, transformed, and followed Vertigo a short distance to keep in touch with him, purposefully staying louder than his friend in hopes to attract attention before the Recon officer did. Both heading back towards the coordinates where the shuttle broke apart.

Starscream processed what Feedback was telling him, as he followed Lock On with his optics.

"Weapons..." he muttered to himself.

He then turned to Feedback.

"Can you get an inventory of what exactly was on the back end of the shuttle?" he asked. "What type of weaponry? I know they would need power, but if Ironhide is good at 1 thing, it's making weapons out of practically scrap. So if he has the basic parts from the shuttle, he could cobble together some surprises for us."

Feedback nodded at Starscream's request as he turned back to the screen. "In all likelihood the weapons had a back up power source for in case of emergency." He commented a bit absently. "Which would have been located near them... assuming there was one."

He opened up his communications frequencies to allow the shuttle to transmit to the data pad he had given Starscream.

Despite the short time in the CR Chamber and the extensive damage he had suffered earlier, his self repair was doing a fantastic job getting what was essential systems (in his mind) up and running, his communications was back where it needed to be.

"Commander... maybe we should consider getting out of this tin can and into the air awhile..." He suggested. "I can use my communications gear to compensate for the lack of communications, we can be better in touch with Vertigo that way."

In all honesty, all Feedback wanted was outside. His claustrophobia was starting to wash over him again, and this tiny little wrecked shuttle was not the place for him. But he couldn't disappoint the Air Commander.


Heading Towards the Autobot's Last Known Location

Vertigo followed Predator and Reaper, his drones without a word as the two slipped almost silently through the sky. They were sending him back video of what they were seeing.

However they were getting further and further from the wreck and at the moment he was outpacing Lock On. So Vertigo pulled back a bit and let the drones have a bit more space.

Starscream regarded Feedback for a second. Does he know? he thought. Is he trying to force me to reveal my weakness? Starscream's mind was racing, his paranoia flaring up big time.

"Uhh..." he started to say. "No, I think I'll stay here right now. If you want to go, you can. Maybe it's better to have more optics up there to find out what the Autobots are doing. I don't think they're a serious threat, but why take a chance?"

He hoped Feedback wouldn't notice the bitchy tone that was creeping into his voice.

Feedback's optic drifted away fromantic Starscream for a moment. He was wondering if the Air Commander was trying to get rid of him.

"I'm not sure if splitting up is a wise course of action..." He confessed to Starscream. "But if that's what you wish... I suppose I could give me wings a test, I haven't flown since that mess down on Earth and I got blasted by the Fallen..." He trailed off... not feeling willing to leave anyone vulnerable by being alone right now, not until he had time to get maps on this planet.

Starscream thought for a moment. He didn't want to give Feedback an answer that might get the seeker's suspicions aroused. But he needed to be alone for a little while where no one was watching him.

"It will be fine." he finally said. "Look at this place. It's a desolate dirtball. No threats here. Except for the Autobots. We should keep every available optic on them."

Feedback nodded slightly. "A command is a command, Commander." He relented to Starscream's order and headed for the hatch. "When Vertigo and Lock On get back we'll get to straightening up this mess so we can actually get some work done."

He started out of the wrecked shuttle, stopped, and turned back to the air commander. "Do you want me to try sending out a distress signal towards the Thanatos with my long ranget comms, Air commander?" He asked. "Or are they a title too 'miffed'to care?"

Starscream paused at Feedback's suggestion. He tried to get the annoyed look off his face before facing his subordinate.

"No." he said calmly. "They have their own problems, besides, they wouldn't care about us anyway. If they did, they wouldn't have let us go. So don't bother with it."

He then turned from Feedback. Besides, I don't want that idiot Razorclaw knowing where I am, or getting any ideas about trying something against me in my current vulnerable state. he thought as he walked away.

Feedback nodded slightly as Starscream declined the suggestion. The Air Commander's response was no surprise, besides, he was fairly certain they were too far away from the Thanatos anyway.

He simply muttered "Yes, Sir." To Starscream and wandered out the door.

Outside

Calling the events of the past few hours a whirlwind for the electronic warfare specialist was an uderstatement. He been kicked around by a brute that was meant to be a team mate, then nearly pulverized by something many described as a demi-god. His anxiety been pressed to astronomical limits, slap dash put back together by a maniacal doctor... to say he had little faith in doing one of the most innate things one of his race could do. That which set them apart from all others, that which is so a part if them they needn't be taught how, as it naturally came to them... transfomtion.

His optic dimmed as he set his processors to the task. Gears turned, cogs whirred to motion, slight clinks and clanks as parts disengaged and moved, only to re-engage into a completely different sequence and position, what was once a robot became a fighter jet.

"Something positive of the day...." he muttered as he ignited his engines. "I transformed... and not into some hideous twisted hunk of metal."

Feedback then initiated his radar, communication, and navigation systems, scanning get for Lock On and Vertigo.

Aft-half of the Lollipop

Predator and Reaper circled the wreckage of the shuttle that had contained the Autobots, scanning for signs of survivors and activity.

Autobase Lollipop

Starfire and Ironhide sat in the shadow of the wreckage that used to be the cargo bay of the shuttle. Pipes was out, and they knew he wasn't coming back. Starfire just hoped his spark lasts long enough to be rescued.

"Should we..." she asked meekly. "Should we hide him? You know, just in case the 'Cons show up?"

Ironhide didn't say anything as he contemplated the question.

"Yes, that might be a good idea." he answered. "But where? Inside the wreckage? Do we bury him?"

"Um..." Starfire started to say, but then her optics flared up. "Look!"

She jumped up and pointed towards the sky. Ironhide followed her motion and instantly recognized the Decepticons' flying forms.

"Inside, now!" he barked at Starfire.

He picked up Pipes under his arm and around his waist, and dragged the stasis-locked Minibot inside. Starfire backed up behind them, her gaze fixed on the approaching Decepticons.

"So now what?" she asked once inside.

"Now we hope their scanning equipment ain't top-notch." Ironhide answered. "But knowing those flyers, it probably is."

"So we get ready for a fight." she said, and primed her sniper rifle.

"Stay by the door, see what they do." Ironhide said. "If they transform and land, try to take them out. They make better targets on the ground than in the air."

Starfire did as he instructed.

Reaper's infrared camera picked up motion. It relayed the information back to Vertigo.

A Few Clicks Behind Reaper

Vertigo made a grunting sound. He directed Predator to bank around the back side of the wreckage, Reaper to scan the front.

His comm was crackling to life. >>"Lock On?"<< he asked thinking it was Lock On getting closer. >>"You getting closer?"<<

A Good Clip Behind Vertigo

A bit staticky at first, but Lock On's comm came to life.

>>"Lock On? You getting closer?"<<

>>"Negative."<< The brutish Seeker replied.

Coming Up On Lock On's Port Side

>>"We have long range comms, thanks to me."<< Feedback haughtily said.>>"You can thank me..."<< he buzzed past Lock On. >>"You will learn quickly to appreciate me. Radar, comms, jamming, targeting... I am your most valuable asset."<<

Near The Lollipop

"Says you..." Vertigo muttered at the ego laden description Feedback gave of himself

However... he switched the drones on to Feedback's comms. He did appreciate the comms. >>"Thank you for the comms, at least."<<

Lock On kicked his afterburners on and chased Feedback, the two catching up and passing Vertigo quickly.

Noting this, Vertigo also picked up speed and lead the two without a word to the crash just as Ironhide and Starfire made it into safety.

>>"I don't see anything, but Reaper noticed something going inside."<< The surveillance expert mentioned.

-

>>"I guess the Bots are alive!"<< Lock On said with a cackle. >>"I wonder how many there are. Saw 3 earlier but Bots are like scraplets, where there's one, there's an infestation."<<

-

>>"Commander Starscream..."<< Feedback sent back to Starscream, but received no response. The signal was strong enough to reach the Air Commander, but he could tell it wasn't being received. >>"No response."<<

-

>>"Eh, it's fine, simple recon."<< Vertigo responded as he buzzed the wreckage.

-

Lock On followed suit, right behind Vertigo and Feedback dropped in altitude, buzzing even closer to the wteckage. "Oh little Autobots... come our and play..." He taunted.

"Ya see anythin'?" Ironhide asked impatiently.

"Yeah." Starfire responded. "Three 'Cons, coming up fast. They have surveillance drones with them, but I doubt they're active, the 'Cons are right behind them. They might have seen us first."

"I doubt it." Ironhide replied. "If they knew for sure where we are, we'd be gettin' blasted like Kup an' I did on Hydrus-4 back when...never mind."

"Old war story?" she asked.

"I'll tell ya sometime." he replied. "Right now, we need ta keep these 'Cons at bay. They can NOT get in here. We have protection against return fire as long as they think we have enough firepower ta take 'em out if they land."

"We DO have enough firepower." she said defiantly, and aimed her sniper rifle.

The center undercarriage of the first seeker to dive down became clear in her crosshairs. It wasn't the biggest 'Con, but at this point it was the most dangerous, as it was the closest. Starfire made a decision to engage the seeker, perhaps to warn it away at least, fatally disable it at most. She knew that with the first shot their element of surprise was gone, so she had to make this count. From he scant knowledge of Decepticon schematics, she aimed at what she presumed was the Decepticon's weakest point, and primed her rifle to maximum velocity.

The titanium round left the chamber near the speed of light, and the recoil was so strong it not only knocked her back, but the rifle went flying out of her grip. The barrel and chamber were smoking from the maximum discharge, and the rifle's indicator flashed red, showing her that it was out of commission for the near future until the insides cooled enough for another round to be chambered safely. She just hoped that the projectile found its target and did as much damage as possible. At this speed, it should have not only penetrated the seeker's armor, but tore right through the 'Con, scrambling circuits and causing massive internal damage.

But who knew with these imbeciles, especially the flyers? They could have made some really unexpected modifications. She was going by outdated schematics stolen by Scrounge and other Autobot spies eons ago. As she lay on the dirt, her internal systems recovering from the sudden impact against her chest and shoulder, she gazed up at the sky, trying to locate her previous target, hoping for the best.

"SCRAP!" Vertigo cursed as Starfire's round ripped through his armor.

-

Feedback pulled up as Vertigo got hit, not wanting to be so easy of a target. >>"I guess they wanted to play."<<

-

>>"It didn't hit anything vital."<< Vertigo grumbled as he struggled to steady his course. The bullet had tore through his wing, making flying very difficult. >>"I need to land."<<

-
>>"No!"<< Lock On shouted. >>"They'll engage us if we land and you two are nerds, not fighters!"<<

-

>>"Shut up, lugnut!"<< Feedback yelled back. >>"We can handle a couple Bots."<<

--

"No, I've seen your dossier, your a fragging nerd, we'd be slaughtered."<> Vertigo muttered.

-

>>"You make Vertigo look like a seasoned warrior."<< Added Lock On.

Feedback remained silent but for a low growl.

Lock On sighed. >>"We have an advantage in the air, let's keep to it. Go, if you need to, head back."<<

-

>>"No."<< Vertigo softly said. >>"Can't carry Reaper right now with my wing shot up. He'll go to slow to follow."<< He paused for a moment.>>"That was a sniper sshot, high caliber. And they haven't fired again.<<

--

Lock On couldn't argue with Vertigo'so assessment. >>"Stay above us, Freak, come with me. We're shooting at the wreckage, hopefully they'll come out and play again."<<

-

Feedback started to protest the insulting name, but instead begrudgingly followed Lock on as he dropped into range to use his machine guns. Though once again he was in a predicament. >>"I just have air to surface missiles."<< He confessed. >>"And they won't target on that, only radar."<<

-

>>"Scrap you're fragging useless!"<< Lock On shouted. >>"Fine, I'll shoot! You watch my tail feathers!"<<

Lock On then dove down a bit more and started firing his twin machine guns at the wreckage.

"Whoa!" Ironhide said as he reached down to help Starfire up. "I'd say ya put a bit too much juice in that shot."

"Uhh..."she groaned. "Yeah...I guess. Did it hit any..."

But before she could finish the sentence, machine gun fire slammed into the wrecked half of the shuttle.

"Take cover!" Ironhide snapped. "NOW!"

They both dove in opposite directions, Starfire into a corner and Ironhide behind some scrapped equipment. The gunfire missed them, but caused more damage to the already weak hull. It wasn't going to hold out much longer.

"If we stay here, we're dead!" Starfire said. "I need my rifle...we can..."

"No." Ironhide replied. "Takes too much time to prime and aim it, ya'll never get off a decent shot. Not now that they know we're down here. We need to start shooting back the conventional way."

"Whatever." Starfire answered and pulled out her pistol.

Ironhide drew his rifle and looked over the debris he was hiding behind. He had a good view of the area outside of the hull, but only in one direction. He contemplated his options. If he stayed back here, he was relatively safe, but he only had shot at a narrow area. He would need a Decepticon to land right in his sights to be able to do anything. If he got up and walked to the edge of the wall, he could see and perhaps shoot at a lot more, but he would be exposed.

Before he could decide, Starfire made the decision for him. She ran to the end of the wreck, and without any caution stuck her head and gun out. She saw the three Seekers, each doing their various maneuvers.

"Nerds..." she grumbled and took aim at the largest one and fired three shots.

"Aww how cute! They're firing back!" Feedback said in a voice laden with sarcasm.

-

>>"Adorable."<< Lock On said flatly over the comms as he continued firing. >>"Buzz them with a drone, Vertigo, tell me how many it sees."<<

-

Vertigo sent Reaper in for a closer look, the drone silently slipping in close to the wreckage, however, at that point there was no way the Autobots could miss the drone, Reaper was much too close for them not to get a visual on it.

-

With a quick take over of the drine's camera feeds, Feedback sent the steam though his comms Lock On's comms, both of them now having a visual of Reaper's camera just as Vertigo.

-

>>"Oh good thought."<< Vertigo said happy to no long have to spend time descrI bing what he saw.

Starfire noticed the drone swooping in, and without flinching she turned her aim towards it and fired off 3 more quick shots. Though the drone was smaller than Lock On's huge aft, it was closer, so it made a better target.

"Did ya hit it?" Ironhide asked.

"Why don't you come up here and help me out!" she snapped back at him.

At this point Ironhide realized what he was actually doing: cowering behind a pile of scrap in the middle of a firefight. The shame almost caused him to go into stasis-lock. However, a moment later he was next to Starfire, aiming his rifle at the flying 'Cons.

>>"Looks like.. two."<< Lock On muttered as the drone picked up the images of Starfire and Ironhide.

-

>>"We're missing one."<< Feedback said. >>"Three were on board."<<

-

>>"Sending Predator on a wider search are-"<< Vertigo began but was cut off as Starfire's shot rang out, hitting into Reaper's camera lens, cracking the lens and shorting out the camera.

The short seemed to effect the drone's navigation or stability as well, Reaper wobbled and flew erratically.

"Reaper! Nooooo!!!" Vertigo yelled as the drone floundered.

-

>>"Frag... you are possibly the unluckiest Con in the army."<< Feedback said as soon as Vertigo stopped yelling. >>"I am not flying near you any more."<<

-

Vertigo transformed, hovering mid -air. >>"I can't leave him. We can't have the Bots get their hands on poor Reaper! We need him back up here!"<<

-

Lock On continued firing and Feedback transformed as well, also staying hovering in the air. He looked to Vertigo. >>"You know it's just a drone, right?"<<

-

>>"Sometimes I'm not sure he does!"<< lock On shouted, clearly irritated. >>"But he's right, we can't let the Bots get the drone."<<

-

>>"Ugh!"<< Feedback was clearly irritated as well. >>"Fine, I'll get him back!"<< he went back to his jet mode before hacking into Reaper's navigation. >>"And since you can't carry him, I have a free hard point he can attach to."<<

It wasn't smooth, but Reaper navigated to Feedback and attached under his wing. He adjusted for the uneven weight before transforming back to robot mode, pulling out his machine gun. >>"Vertigo, we're good, get your aft down hereally and help lock On!"<<

-

Without a word Vertigo obeyed, getting line of sight on the wreckage and swooping in and opening fire.

"Whoa!" Starfire shouted as the return fire strafed their cover.

"That was a good shot!" Ironhide commented on her hitting the drone. "Looks like it pissed them off real good!"

"We need to get back inside!" she shouted amid the hail of bullets.

"Right behind ya!" he answered.

They retreated towards the scrap Ironhide was hiding behind earlier.

"We won't be able to...aaahhh!" Ironhide started to say before a shot hit him in the back.

The impact knocked him forward onto his face, though it did minimal damage to his thick armor.

"Get up!" Starfire said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

"I'm fine!" he barked and yanked his arm away. "Get to cover!"

He then turned around and shouldered his rifle.

"Ya punks want a firefight?!" he shouted as he ran back to the opening. "Fine!"

He aimed in Feedback's general direction and fired off a long burst.

"Take that! And that!" he barked in unison with the gun. "And that!"

The Autobot Half Of The Lollipop

Watching the Autobots start your retreat onto the ship's wreckage, Feedback dropped a bit lower to see better. He felt a bit self satisfied until Ironhide beGan returning fire... at him!

"Fragging, what!?" He shouted seeming a touch taken aback by being shot at.

He transformed into jet mode and in a fit of rage, shot his missiles towards the wreckage. Of course they were designed to lock on to radar signals and had no guidence, overshot by a bit, as a few of Irohide's shots hit.

"Vertigo!" Lock On shouted. "Help would be fantastic!"

Vertigo dodged a stray shot and headed for the others. He opened fire on the Auto bits with his machine guns.

Motto: "Individual freedom above all else."
As Lock On rained bullets down on them, Ironhide and Starfire tried to stay low, but it wasn't enough. The shots hit them in the chest, shoulders and arms as they covered their heads.

"We're outgunned here, gramps!" Starfire shouted.

"Yeah, but...GRAMPS?!" Ironhide's response would have been hilarious if they hadn't been about to get killed.

"Okay, bad timing." Starfire responded. "Sorry. But what do we do about the birdies?"

"I have an idea!" Ironhide said and crawled away to Pipes' prone body.

"What are you doing? He won't wake up!" she said.

"I don't need him to!" he answered. "I just need his cannon!"

Ironhide then took Pipes' severed arm, which was laid on his chest, and manually activated the glass-gas cannon on it.

"Ya got any grenades?!" he shouted to Starfire over the gunfire.

"Just a few." she replied as he made it back to her.

"Alright." he said. "These chumps want a firefight, they got it! We ain't just sittin' ducks here!"

Then a burst of gunfire ripped up the paneling above their heads.

"You sure about that?" she asked as she put 2 of her grenades inside the cannon barrel.

Ironhide then aimed the cannon, along with the small blue arm attached to it, at Lock On.

"Is this going to work?" she asked.

"Ya got any ideas?" he answered. "I would love to hear 'em!"

He then waited until Lock On was square in his sights, and even though the seeker's bullets kept tearing up his cover of scrap pile, along with his armor, Ironhide managed to stay still long enough to launch the grenades at the Decepticon, using the compressed gas still left in Pipes' cannon.

Above the Autobots

Ironhide's makeshift cannon fire hit squarely on Lock On's port engine, sending the Seeker spiraling downward.

"Cover him!" Feedback shouted as he transformed.

Vertigo obeyed, kicking in the afterburner towards Lock On.

"Good shot!" Starfire said.

"Yeah, it was lucky." Ironhide answrered. "They won't make that mistake again. Now let's move!"

They retreated into the scrapped hulk of the cargo bay, taking cover and aiming towards the hole that served as the entrance. If any of the Seekers decided to get curious, they would get a rude welcome. Of course, they could just bomb the Lollipop's cargo bay from above and the outside. The wrecked shuttle could only take so much.
