Triceratops snarls, wondering where the chocolate went... Hyperion says, "Certainly not hmmph ... Whiz? Is that you?" David Kohl mutters to Diana Vitaan, "... This is..." Diana Vitaan nods and stands by the computer still, next to David. Buck Logan says, "Wait a minute....if I'm in a Cybertronian body...and you're a Cybertronian in a human body....maybe ALL OF US were put in human bodies!" Alex Roberts quickly offers Slag the rest of the bar. Tsukime says, "Bloody ...." Diana Vitaan mutters to David Kohl, "... know." Scott Shaft says, "Whoever you are, yer a fraggin' genius." David Kohl gives Buck, brain of Cybertron, a round of applause. Gwen Whitmore erms. "No. Definitely not. Because Whiz is in very very very big trouble right now." Buck Logan says, "QUICK! OPERATOR! GET ME THE NUMBER FOR 911!" Triceratops slowly sneaks up on the bar, and swiftly lunges, snapping it out of Alex's hand, and getting part of his hand with it, unfortunately. Diana Vitaan shushes Diktat quietly, trying to keep the both of them rather unobtrusive. Tsukime slips towards the only door she sees. Hyperion says, "well you sound like Whiz ... hmm, maybe I was injured in battle and am now undergoing hallucinatory side effects from the anithetics used while my body is repaired ... fun though, I don;t remember being injured in battle, or even fighting for that matter." Alex Roberts bellows in startled pain, yanking his hand away and burying it in his abdomen, doubling over, fairly hopping and stomping enough to wake the dead. Triceratops huhs to himself at Hyperion's incessant babbling. Tsukime leaves through the metal doors. Gwen Whitmore smacks Triceratops between the horns. "Bad Slag! Don't bite, or no more chocolate. Got it?" Buck Logan looks around, seeing the crowd thin. Buck Logan sees the woman smack the dinosaur and call him Slag. Triceratops recoils from the smack, and snarls at the girl, still having NO clue what's happening. Sorsha Lord emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Gwen Whitmore tsks Slag. "You've got dangerous teeth, okay dinobuddy? So you have to be careful. Otherwise, good people get hurt. Play nice." David Kohl mutters to Diana Vitaan, "... who... in..." Sorsha Lord glances around the room. "Decepticons, we are departing for Darkmount." Alex Roberts sags against the wall, his left hand clamped like a vise over his right wrist, biting his lower lip, his face gone startlingly pale. Buck Logan says, "No silly girl. Slag is a METAL dinosaur. That's a REAL one." Triceratops doesn't understand a word. Gwen Whitmore's eyebrows furrow. "Or you'll get your teeth filed down." Diana Vitaan nods. She mutters to David Kohl, "yes..... Shockwave." David Kohl mutters to Diana Vitaan, "I never... the... sort" Gwen Whitmore looks up and fairly boggles. "You? You're Shockwave?" She about doubles over laughing. Gwen Whitmore says, "And all this time you were hunting Femmes! *snicker*" Buck Logan says, "HEY! DID YOU PEOPLE ALL USED TO BE ROBOTS TOO???" Buck Logan shouts generally to the crowd. Alex Roberts moans, "Whiz.. now.. is not.. the time.." Sorsha Lord glances over to Gwen, locks her gaze, then says softly, "It is a...surprise," she states flatly. Diana Vitaan's eyes narrow slightly, and she stands away from the wall, walking over to Alex Roberts. She crouches down near him, "May I see that..? Maybe Whiz should look at it." Gwen Whitmore looks over at Alex and is instantly repentant. "I didn't realize he bit you so hard. Let me take a look." Hyperion looks over to Alex, "Excuse me chap, are you injured?" Hyperion draws his head away, "This isn't a very good dream ... " David Kohl leaves through the metal doors. Gwen Whitmore slings her backpack down and pulls out some gauze and stuff. Buck Logan looks and sees Hyperion. "Woah nellie! You look like something out of Final Fantasy: The Movie." Hyperion turns his glance to Buck, "What's all the yelling about chap?" War-Games emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Tsukime emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Scott Shaft says, "Shouldn't we get back to th' surface?" Shawn Storm emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Jae Ninks emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Sarah Armstrong emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Buck Logan says, "I wanna know what's going on here!" Jae Ninks comes in on War-Games' shoulder. Hyperion says, "Hardly as fantastic as my real body, which I be returning to as soon as I wake up..." Sorsha Lord intones softly to Whiz, "We shall talk again. This situation is yours to rectify." Mikey Masters emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Sarah Armstrong looks around, she heads over to Alex. "Rodimus?" Alex Roberts draws several short, gasping breaths, still locked in a doubled-over position over his injured appendage. Gwen Whitmore touches the hand delicately and then winces. "You've got broken bones in your hand. His teeth must have crushed your fingers." Craig O'Brian emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. War-Games looks around. "Who's who?" Buck Logan says, "Wait.....are you a Cybertronian too?" Blue Hovercraft emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Blue Hovercraft whoas. Gwen Whitmore says, "I'll have to immobilize it until it can heal..." Alex Roberts yelps and flinches back. "So FIX it! I don't care how!" Hyperion says, "Sky Lynx, no less, my rather large friend." Diana Vitaan silently watches Whiz work, standing right near Alex and Gwen, looking down at them. Blue Hovercraft says, "Okay, I'll accept the fact that there are humans on Cybertron, but how did so many of you get here unnoticed?" War-Games says, "Sky...Lynx?" War-Games says, "But you have...fur." Jae Ninks blinks. "LYNXY!???" Sorsha Lord nimbly leaps to the Blue Hovercraft's siderail. "Decepticons, fall back." Gwen Whitmore hms. She looks around, finds a small piece of metal, and then binds the hand to the metal gently with gauze. "Erm. Hey, don't look." Gwen Whitmore digs in her backpack for something. "Trust me, you really don't want to look." Mikey Masters looks at Sorsha and follows her. Buck Logan says, "Is EVERYONE in here a Cybertronian in a human body?" Sarah Armstrong climbs into the cockpit of the camoflauged pyramid fighter. Mikey Masters says, "whee!" Alex Roberts clenches his eyes shut, gladly not wanting to look, and tries to hold still, though he's still shaking. Blue Hovercraft starts laughing at Buck's question. Scott Shaft yells over toward Buck. "No, some of 'em are still in 'eir right bodies, case you didn't notice." Shawn Storm leaves through the metal doors. Jae Ninks can't help but look. Hyperion looks himself over, "They look more like feathers to me chap, but like I said, it'll all pass as soon as I wake up." Mikey Masters hangs on to the side rails. Craig O'Brian walks to Mikey and looks for Sorsha in the crowd.."Mixxy I think we gotta get human names." Buck Logan looks at the big blue hovercraft. Gwen Whitmore pulls a hypodermic full of some anaesthetic from her backpack, wipes off a small area of skin on Alex's wrist, and pushes it under the skin. Blue Hovercraft hovers low, allowing "Decepticons" to board him. War-Games says, "Jinxy, who is who?" Buck Logan says, "What's so funny, you big blue....thingy?" Jae Ninks is too involved in watching Gwen, she doesn't even hear War. Alex Roberts grits his teeth and expells a long, shuddering sigh, every muscle tensed as though to bolt. Blue Hovercraft tries to stop laughing to answer, "Just Cybertronians in human bodies..." and breaks up again. Diana Vitaan crouches down slightly, "Do you need any help, Whiz?" Hyperion looks somewhat distressed, not used to being around things larger than he, "I hope I wake up soon .... " Blue Hovercraft chuckles, "Yessir." War-Games reaches up and gently taps Jae. Blue Hovercraft says, "Last chance for passengers." Gwen Whitmore pushes the plunger and then withdraws the needle, wiping the puncture and finishing her binding. "The bones you have aren't real, so they should heal more quckly. The injection should ease the pain." Blue Hovercraft leaves through the metal doors. Jae Ninks says, "EEHh.. oh." Gwen Whitmore carefully puts a cap on her needle and returns it to her backpack. Jae Ninks leans over to whisper.. Diana Vitaan's mouth curves in a slight smile, "No, I guess you do not." Alex Roberts's knees suddenly buckle and he sags to the ground next to the wall, going completely limp, his head lolling forward into unconsciousness. Buck Logan struggles with thinking trying to comprehend the situation, and not doing very well, due to his redneck intelligence level. Gwen Whitmore is just turning to Diana when this event occurs. War-Games says, "Uhmm, he needs a transport?" Jae Ninks mutters to War-Games, "... at the people... says the... to be Whiz,... think is..." Gwen Whitmore says, "Oh! Uh, bad thing." Diana Vitaan blinks as she watches Alex slump over unconsciously, "Oh my.." Gwen Whitmore uhms at Diana as she kneels and tries to make sure Alex has his airways open. Gwen Whitmore says, "Er, who are you, anyway?" Hyperion looks over to Alex with alarm, "Dream or not, you need help." slides a large paw under the limp body just before it hits the ground. Scott Shaft says, "Oh sprock." Gwen Whitmore yells out, "Not the claws!" War-Games says, "Jinxy...hop off for a sec?" Hyperion says, "They are sheathed, Whiz." Tsukime looks at Alex, and blinks a bit. Diana Vitaan smiles slightly, "Swiftwind." Gwen Whitmore mutters something about telling him not to look and shakes her head. Jae Ninks looks waaaaay down, and decides that isn't such a good idea... Buck Logan looks around at all the people. Triceratops sulks away, knowing he caused this, and knowing it was a bad thing, but not knowing much else. Jae Ninks says, "Allrighty.. just give me a sec, War." War-Games offers his hand. Hyperion says, "Much like my own claws though ..." Jae Ninks smiles. "Thanks," And jumps into his hand. Gwen Whitmore turns to Hyperion. "Let him down on the ground gently, er, Sky Lynx. Easy, easy... he needs to get his airways open." Diana Vitaan mutters to Gwen Whitmore, "... to be..." War-Games smiles at Jinx. "Hey, I dont wanna hurt ya." Gwen Whitmore guhs and drops Alex's head to the ground at that mutter. Alex Roberts thumps. Jae Ninks jumps down after being lowered quite a ways. Alex Tron finally speaks up. "Ummmmmm, whatta we gonna do now guys?" Triceratops snarls, and begins searching for an exit, not sure if this is the world or not right here in this room. War-Games falls apart and reforms into a Junkion Helicopter. Gwen Whitmore ohs! and flushes bright red at Diana, "What are you still doing here? Didn't your ride leave?" Hyperion nods and lays Alex on his back gently, "Really Whiz, even in my dreams you doubt my skill, as if I would ever use my claws to handle someone .. utterly proposterous." Alex Tron says, "I kinda drifted off." Jae Ninks watches Gwen react to Diana, and wonders... Diana Vitaan watches Gwen steadily, curious what her reaction will be now after dropping Alex's head on the ground. She simply stands there, watching carefully and curiously. Gwen Whitmore shakes her head. "This is too much for one day. Oh man ohmanohmanohman. He's gonna kill me." Diana Vitaan says softly, "Maybe. I am more curious than anything right now, and they are.. misguided." Junk Copter opens up his twin cockpits. Gwen Whitmore looks curiously at the unconscious Alex. "Erm. Hello? you in there? Wake up?" Scott Shaft stares around, trying to put voices and movement patterns to Cybertronian forms. Gwen Whitmore pokes Alex in the nose. Alex Roberts moans softly, shivering. "Whu... what happened...?" Alex Tron says, "Man, this is weird." Gwen Whitmore whews. Triceratops nudges his nose-horn against a panel, and jumps back syuddenly as a panel opens beside it. He slowly approaches again, and hops up to peer into the shaft. Hyperion says, "I feel strange." Diana Vitaan looks down at Alex Roberts and grins slightly, "I believe they call it.. fainting." Hyperion looks around almost distressfully. Gwen Whitmore mutters to Alex Roberts, "... to use... in... fainted.... you... up, I..." Gwen Whitmore whispers "I had to use a needle to deaden the pain in your hand. You fainted. Good thing you woke up, I was afraid I'd have to use artificial rescusitation." Junk Copter says, "Taxi?" Buck Logan looks around trying to put 2 + 2 together Hyperion says, "I want something ... but I don;t know what it is..." Buck Logan sees the Copter "Taxi? I seen that show!" The doors begin to shut on the Triceratops, so he releases a heinous sound like that one would hear from from a elephant, and scrambles up the shaft and out. Alex Roberts guhs. "I'm going.. to kill you.. Whiz.. just.. give me a few minutes.. and hold still." Gwen Whitmore looks with concern at her squishy leader. "How do you feel now?" Triceratops leaves through the metal doors. Jae Ninks giggles at War. "Y'know, as much as I'd love a ride... you think you'd be able to fly yourself in and out of these teeny, er .. - looks around room-.. well, teeny for you.. rooms?" Junk Copter sits on the ground. You say, "Like an elephant just stepped on me. Please don't tell me that was an elephant I just heard.." Diana Vitaan frowns down at Rodimus, her eyes flashing, "That will not solve anything. She may be the ONLY one who knows how to get us all out of this." Junk Copter says, "I think so..." Gwen Whitmore says, "Close, it was Slag." Alex Tron says, "Nope, a Triceratops."" Jae Ninks motions toward the Generator Room. Jae Ninks leaves through the metal doors. Hyperion says, "I feel all empty ...." Tsukime looks at Jinx. "I could take a run up to-" She stops. "Or maybe not. . . Gwen Whitmore mutters to Alex Roberts, "Er, by... way, the... over... the... that... her... she's... want... about..." Gwen Whitmore whispers "Er, by the way, the lady over there in the clothes that are too small for her just told me she's Dark Vixen. Not sure what you want to do about it." Junk Copter lifts up slowly. Buck Logan walks over to the Junk Copter You say, "Slag--" he seems to be recovering now, "That blasted Dinobot crunched my hand!" ================================ In Your Area =========================== Alex Roberts [A] Diana Vitaan [D] Gwen Whitmore [A] Scott Shaft [A] Tsukime [A] Buck Logan [J] Junk Copter [J] Alex Tron [J] Hyperion [A] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buck Logan says, "Hey! You have any idea what's going on in this crazy town?" Gwen Whitmore nods. "Yeah, but it should heal. It's splinted, more or less." Junk Copter says, "I think I'll go out and radio the taxi corps." Junk Copter leaves through the metal doors. Alex Roberts struggles to a sitting position against the wall, staring blankly at his hand. "How long?" Alex Tron says, "Do I look like I know what's going on? Do *I* look like *I* know what's going *on*?" Buck Logan turns to Alex Tron. Alex Roberts looks up searchingly at Diana. "And if you're who Whiz said you are, you'd better split before Galvatron starts looking." Gwen Whitmore erms. "Well, I didn't exactly go around breaking bones to see how fast they'd heal. You'll probably do better with some energy in you... lemme see..." Tsukime finds a perch to sit on. Tsukime A tall, slender woman stands before you, full lips curving gently into a smile at something that only she is aware of. Her hair is black as a raven's wing, and short- curling slightly around her face. High cheekbones lend shape to the pale oval, and making it a lovely reflection of the inner spirit. Her deep blue eyes have a curious almond tilt and sparkle curiously at the world around her- almost as though she were seeing it for the first time. She wears a bodice of a deep golden yellow- The high collar smoothly clinging to her neck, and then down- it is buttoned up the front in one of the simplest styles. Her arms are covered by the fabric- in loose sleeves, which are cuffed and buttoned around her slim wrists. There is a slight gap between the bottom of her blouse and the top of her faded denim jeans- revealing a lightly tanned, slender midriff before easing into the tight fitting jeans- hugging her hips and legs like a second skin. Her small feet move with her shifting of weight- clothed in a pair of light brown ankle-boots, laced up the front. Diana Vitaan shakes her head, "No, not just yet. He is.. misguided." Gwen Whitmore rummage in her toolkit and finds a granola bar with a bite out of it and only a little bit of fuzz stuck on. "All I have. Break off the icky bit, I guess." Buck Logan says, "I don't know? Do you? I said DO YOU? I WANT THE TRUTH!" Alex Roberts mmphs. "Gee, thanks." Alex Tron says, "I'm as lost as you are dude. Definately lost." Gwen Whitmore says, "I had clothes, but I didn't stock up on food, okay?" Buck Logan says, "Waittaminute...you're talking TV.....Are you a fellow Junkion?" Gwen Whitmore says, "We need to get back to the EDC lounge in Iacon or to Earth, and soon. Everyone is going to need food." Alex Tron nods. "Junky's the way to be...even if its a soft squishy short one." Gwen Whitmore smirks a little. "As the others are going to find out soon enough, to their dismay." Hyperion lays down rubbing his underside, a loud growling noise rises from it, "Something definately wrong." Alex Roberts breaks off the one edible-looking part of the granola bar and chews sullenly. Diana Vitaan's eyebrows lower as she frowns, "What? What about food, Whiz?" Scott Shaft reaches a hand for his gut..."I don't feel so hot..." Gwen Whitmore says, "Humans need to eat, and so do we." Gwen Whitmore sighs. "Every six to eight hours, or there will be lightheadedness and other symptoms." Diana Vitaan blinks and nods a little bit, "Yes, that makes...sense. How often, and what will happen if we don't? I know that humans get hungry.. and if they don't eat for more than a week, they can die, but.. what about us?" Alex Roberts holds up his uninjured left hand to Gwen, mumbling, "Hand up, please..?" Tsukime nods, looking at Gwen. "Six to eight hours? So often..." Alex Tron says, "Guess we need to make a run for the border then, eh?" Hyperion says, "maybe that's what it is ... I feel like I'm running on energon-fumes" Diana Vitaan says, "What will happen if we -don't- eat within that time frame?" Gwen Whitmore looks startled but puts up her right hand. Buck Logan says, "I'll take 7 Double Decker Tacos and some Cinnamon Twists" Buck Logan says, "Let's go to Earth!" Gwen Whitmore's hair is musssed and she looks frazzled. Alex Roberts struggles to his feet, pulling on Whiz just a *bit* more than he had to, swaying only slightly. He tries to inject a confident note into his voice. "Right. Let's get to the Crystal City base and radio Iacon for transport.." Scott Shaft says, "What..s'not dat far." Scott Shaft is clearly still thinking with the mindset of one for whom interplanetary travel is nothing spectacular anymore. Gwen Whitmore turns to Diana with a bit of an oof. "There will be stomach cramps, followed by lightheadedness. If you ignore it, well, you could start to lose cohesion." Buck Logan mutters to Alex Tron, "... guys?" Alex Tron says, "Cohe...cohesh...Aw, speak English, man." Gwen Whitmore nudges Alex slightly. She mutters to Alex Roberts, "Don't... front..." You sense Gwen Whitmore nudges Alex slightly. "Don't mention the base in front of her..." Diana Vitaan frowns deeply, her brow creasing, purple eyes glittering in thought, "What are we made of? How is it possible for us to lose cohesion?" Gwen Whitmore says cheerfully, "I still have the radio in my necklace. I'm okay." Alex Roberts pfehs irritably. "They've known about the base for ages." Diana Vitaan glances at Whiz and frowns again, chewing on her bottom lip for a moment before realizing what she's doing. Gwen Whitmore sighs deeply. "We're made of a synthetic compound based on silicon. Your sturcture is actually of silicon crystals. They require energy to keep their shape, and if you don't eat, they don't get that energy. You start to soften. If you wait too long, you'll start to have parts melt into each other." Gwen Whitmore says, "Now go tell all of your friends that, so they don't melt into blobs before we can all get our bodies back from the Quintessons." Alex Tron says, "I thought only witches melted, and that was when you threw water on them?" Buck Logan says, "Silicon? I thought we were made out of Flesh?" Diana Vitaan opens her mouth wordlessly, staring at Whiz, an almost hunted look in her eyes, "Oh great... this should be an adventure.." Gwen Whitmore says, "It just looks like regular flesh." Hyperion moans on the floor holding where presumably a stomach would be. Alex Roberts growls softly to himself, breathing carefully as though it's an entirely new thing. Buck Logan says, "Now this chick is tellin' us we're like the friggin' Horta from Star Trek?" Alex Tron says, "Weird, ain't it?" Mischief emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Firestone emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. Gwen Whitmore sighs. "We need to get food. I suggest we raid the EDC lounge. Mischief says, "Hellllllllllllllllo baby!" Firestone says, "Missy, calm down." Buck Logan says, "You have entered....the twilight zone." Mischief whoas again again. Gwen Whitmore puts her face in her hands. "Just who I wanted to see..." Diana Vitaan pierces Gwen with a look, "Where are we to get food?" Firestone says, "Gah, humans." Alex Roberts finally speaks up. "C'mon, people, move it, Sky Lynx needs food or.. something.. or the cavalry can just arrive.." Firestone says, "WHIZ?" Alex Tron says, "Do do dodo do do dodo." Mischief says, "Who are you guys and where's Hound?" Gwen Whitmore looks helplessly at Diana. "How should I know? Go to the supermarket!" Firestone says, "That's Whiz, Missy." Tsukime takes a deep breath. And sighs. "This is going to be Really weird." Firestone says, "I recognize the jacket." Mischief says, "Whiz?" Gwen Whitmore says, "Eat each other! I don't care!"" Hyperion is laying on the floor clutching at his belly, doubled over somewhat, "This isn't a very good dream ... someone please wake me up ... " Mischief hrms. "Ewwwwwwwwww.. eat each other.... oh, wait.. there's something wrong here.... Alex Tron says, "It ain't a dream dude. This is fer real." Diana Vitaan growls, "We can't, smeg you! Where in Primus's name would WE get food! We don't have a pantry or lounge for humans like you do!" Mischief hrms again. Gwen Whitmore looks UP at Mischief. "I'm Whiz. The guy with the bandaged hand is Rodimus. The gryphon is Sky Lynx, the triceratops is Slag, um, the one *yelling* at me is Dark Vixen... Alex Tron says, "Hey, we got popcorn back home." Scott Shaft says, "Can we PLEASE get th' sprock back to th' surface?" Firestone says, "This is getting too strange." Alex Roberts holds up his noticeably injured right hand wearily in a sick greeting. Diana Vitaan becomes cold, her eyes frosty, her mouth tightening, "So you would rather watch us die like this. I see... why am I not surprised?" Mischief blinkityblinkblinks! "What happened to yah?" Firestone says, "Whiz, give me a brief sitrep, please?" Tsukime says, "You're telling me, Stone?" Gwen Whitmore turns to Diana. "I'm not your babysitter! Go get some! Ask your Militant friends on Earth!" Firestone says, "Whiz, behave. We can give them some of your cookies." Tsukime says, "Didn't you once have a human staying with you in Darkmount? I thought I heard something." Firestone says, "If they promise to behave... Yeah, you did." Gwen Whitmore spreads her hands. "I'm out of cookies. I'm out of everything." Alex Roberts snaps irritably, "FINE! If we can just get. back. to. *Iacon*. We can provide some provisions till they get their damn spacebridge going! But let's MOVE IT!" Buck Logan yells to Gwen "Oh nice LADY! Would you be kind to tell us where the nearest Taco Bell is? Froinlathen!" Mischief giggles. Firestone says, "Hmmm." Firestone says, "I got some carrots." Alex Tron sniggers. Firestone says, "For the cabbit." Mischief says, "You guys are soooooooooo small." Diana Vitaan snarls, "How? They would not think I was a Decepticon! And I have not met any of them personally! Who is going to believe us?! Come on, Whiz! Look at the reactions of the people around you! Even those who HAVE been changed don't believe it!" Alex Tron says, "Just give me a plate of chilli dogs and I'll be happy." Firestone says, "And I think I remember a crate of MREs somewhere in my trunk." Gwen Whitmore sighs. "You heard him. Evidently there is enough at Iacon for everyone." Mischief hrms and reaches towards the noisy human. "hush...." Mischief says, "Away put the bad feelings." You say, "I think having Galvatron and over half the Decepticon CoC stuck like this will be sufficient evidence!" Firestone says, "Galvatron's..." Mischief says, "Galvatron? Where?" Firestone says, "Time to raid Darkmount!" Firestone's eyes light up. Tsukime says, "Human." Gwen Whitmore hides her face in her hands again. Mischief oooos and looks around some more. Firestone says, "Seriously people..." Alex Roberts howls, "It is NOT time to raid anything! Firestone, transform, dammit!" Gwen Whitmore runs a hand through her hair, unconsciously smoothing it back and tucking it behind her ears. Buck Logan says, "YEAH! RAID DARKMOUNT! SEE WHAT THEY GOT IN THEIR FRIDGE!" With a grin, Mischief whirls and collapses into a shiny Dodge Viper. Her engine hums pleasantly while the faint whine of the turbo slowly becomes audible. Firestone says, "Let's see. I can fit eight humans." Scott Shaft swaggers bad-aftly over to where Gwen has moved to, his coat still flapping in an impossibly ominous manner. "An' just how long you figure we got 'fore we start fallin' apart?" Dodge Viper says, "Okay.. time to go byebye.." Firestone says, "Mmm. Sixteen if they sit on each other's laps." Firestone lowers into herself, folding into a large black '59 hovercaddy. Gwen Whitmore says, "If we eat regularly, we have plenty of time." Tsukime shrugs ."I'm not sure which one he was. The one screaming? either way- I'm starting to get some of Whiz's symptoms." HoverCadillac says, "And the Cabbit is still around... Better part of a month." Scott Shaft says, "I mean from *now*." Buck Logan says, "OOH, I always wanted to drive one of those!" Scott Shaft says, "Considerin' dat no one here wants t'live bad enough to just SHUT DA SCRAP UP AND MOVE!" HoverCadillac opens her doors, and slides her driver's and passenger's seats out on rails. Gwen Whitmore huhs? "I don't understand." Alex Tron nods. "Let's get some chow." HoverCadillac says, "That's Scattershot, isn't it?" Gwen Whitmore hops into the backseat. Alex Roberts snaps his mouth shut and presses his hand to his forehead again, blinking at the floor and trying to rein his temper back under control. Dodge Viper pops the top off. Gwen Whitmore says, "I'm not sitting in the middle!" Buck Logan jumps in the driver's seat of the hovercadillac. Alex Tron says, "Shotgun!!!" HoverCadillac says, "Kid, get in the back." Scott Shaft looks a little lost as he tries to find a place to ride with enough legroom. Tsukime grins. "Hey...where do I ride?" Diana Vitaan composes her mouth and face, and then walks over to Firestone, climbing in slowly. Buck Logan says, "I WANNA DRIVE!" Buck Logan says, "And who you callin' kid!" HoverCadillac says, "Then wait till last to get in." Alex Tron hops in the hovercaddie's passenger's front seat. Hyperion looks over, being 5 feet tall but 9 feet in length he my have a hard time fitting in a vehicle, could prolly ride on top though HoverCadillac says, "Because I have to let the back seat fill first." Dodge Viper hrms. Buck Logan says, "I wasn't aware I looked that young. I don't use Oil of Olay, making you look younger for over 30 years." Scott Shaft sighs and moves toward the hovercar, ending up forced into a seat far too small for him. Buck Logan hops into the back. Gwen Whitmore bounces on the cushy seat. Dodge Viper heheheees at all of them piling in cause it looks funny. You say, "This everyone?" Hyperion umms? Gwen Whitmore says, "How many Cybertronians can you fit into the back seat of a Cadillac?" Buck Logan hops in and sits down, squeezing in. "Move over, make room for The Champ!" You say, "I'd say six, by experimental evidence." You (Firestone) are carrying: Buck Logan, Scott Shaft, Tsukime, Alex Roberts, Gwen Whitmore, Alex Tron, Diana Vitaan Hyperion Now for something COMPLETELY different. A long orange beak curve down from this beast's avian face. Although not impressively tall (about 5 feet), creatures body is covered in small brown feathers, all 9 feet in length of it. He has two large wings that must spread at least 10 - 15 feet in length when fully extended. What is most awe-striking about this beast is the fact that while it appears to be a large golden eagle, instead of having 2 clawed bird-like legs, this beast has 4 legs that look like those of a Lion. Most elementary school mythology books would define this beast as a Griffon ... maybe you should too :) Alex Roberts plants his elbows on his knees and buries his face in his good hand, tugging fiercely at his hair as though trying to yank a solution out of his head. > Hyperion stands, folding his wings at his sides, "This may be a tight fit I'm afraid." HoverCadillac says, "Now, wait, Lynx." Diana Vitaan sighs slightly and resigns herself to the ride, closing her eyes in pure frustration and exhaustment, relaxing back against the seat. HoverCadillac says, "Lesse..." Scott Shaft has his legs bunched up and is glowering horribly, as there is NOT enough room for him. Gwen Whitmore nudges Alex with her elbow and snickers. "Whoops." > Dodge Viper flips her top back up. HoverCadillac says, "Missy, do me a favor?" > Dodge Viper says, "Hmmmm..........?" Buck Logan squeezes in, being rather big himself. HoverCadillac's trunk opens, and a crane arm extends. > Airwolf emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. > Strafe emerges through a pair of metal doors to the west. > Dodge Viper says, "WOLFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" > Dodge Viper says, "STRAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" HoverCadillac's arm fishes around in the trunk and removes a large box. > Strafe yells excitedly, "What?!" > Strafe jumps. Gwen Whitmore wiggles around to see out the back window. "Hey, company." HoverCadillac says, "Airwolf, do me a favor and unfold this platform?" > Dodge Viper says, "Hi, Airwolf!" > Dodge Viper bounces over to see Airwolf. HoverCadillac pokes at the trailer-box with her crane arm. > Airwolf stares at the... avian. "Hmmmm?" Tsukime peers out. "Airwolf?" She accidentally elbows someone- "Ooops- sorry." HoverCadillac says, "I'm a bit full to transform." Gwen Whitmore says, "Can we just get back to Iacon? We need FOOD." > Airwolf says, "Hello, Mischief. Are you, um, all right." Alex Tron leans back in the front passengers seat. "This is nice, man. I could learn to like this." > Hyperion looks extremely confused; recognizing the old face doesn't comfort him any further. > Dodge Viper says, "ME??? I'M FINE!" HoverCadillac says, "Just unfold the box, please, Airwolf? We can explain later." > Strafe yells excitedly, "Quit shoutin'!" > Dodge Viper says, "I'M NOT shouting!" Buck Logan says, "HEY! Watch it lady!" Diana Vitaan's stomach grumbles and she looks down at it in abject curiosity, "How.. fascinating. What made you think all of this up, Whiz?" Scott Shaft says, "Aw slag, it's Strafe..." > Airwolf absently unfolds the box. > The Dodge Viper launches itself into the air and quickly rearranges itself into Mischief. Gwen Whitmore sighs. "Seemed like a good idea at the time." > Mischief comes over to have a look at the box. Strafe looks at the Caddy. "Dat dumb human said my name!" HoverCadillac says, "Lynx, get on the trailer, please." > Mischief says, "Hey, can I carry him?" > Hyperion says, "Yes Airwolf, it is I, although I'm quite convinced that I am either hallucinating or dreaming, which of the two I'm not certain." > Airwolf says, "Lynx...?" HoverCadillac backs up to the trailer, which attaches to her bumper. HoverCadillac says, "No, Missy." HoverCadillac says, "Lynx, on the trailer." > Mischief awwwwwwwwwwws. "Why not?" HoverCadillac says, "Ruin your paint job." > Airwolf says, "It's true, what Bombstormer said? Transformer into... humans??" Diana Vitaan starts to chuckle, "Oh, how typical. You know.. hindsight is always perfect, Whiz. Things you intend to work, often.. don't." > Mischief ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwws. Buck Logan struggles around pushing people. "Make room. I'm the greatest of all time. Show respect to the Hollywood Man." Gwen Whitmore says, "Didn't exactly expect it to get stolen out of my mind by the Quintessons and then turned against us all in a cunningly evil and nefarious plot to steal our robot bodies. That made it seem a little less good of an idea." > Hyperion grunts uncomfortably and steps onto the trailer, laying down, his head darting about quickly. > Mischief taptaptaps on Stone's glass. Strafe looks at Firestone. "Why d'ya got all dem dumb humans in ya?!" HoverCadillac's turbines turn slightly, ducting outwards. Gwen Whitmore waves cheerily out of the window. HoverCadillac says, "This one, you can take, Missy." HoverCadillac says, "Open your door." > Mischief giggles at Whiz. "Guess Rod was right, huh?" With a grin, Mischief whirls and collapses into a shiny Dodge Viper. Her engine hums pleasantly while the faint whine of the turbo slowly becomes audible. HoverCadillac uses her crane arm to strap Lynxie on the platform. Dodge Viper pops the door open. Airwolf watches and listens in stunned silence. HoverCadillac says, "Naked woman, please get inside Mischief?" Computer Room Contents: Strafe, Airwolf, Dodge Viper, Cherity Hunt Strafe looks at Airwolf. "Why's all dem humans 'ere?!" Hyperion lays his head down, his "stomach" growling loudly, he looks miserable. > Dodge Viper puts Dodge Viper nose smudge marks on Stone's window by Whiz and blinks a headlight at her. HoverCadillac's crane retracts, trunk closing. Gwen Whitmore says, "Can we get *out* of here, please? We' don't just want food, we NEED it." HoverCadillac says, "As soon as the naked woman gets in Missy." Gwen Whitmore pounds on the door. HoverCadillac says, "I'm a bit full." Buck Logan says, "FOOD FOOD BRING ME EVERYTHING YOU GOT!" > Airwolf says, "Uhhhhh. From what they say, your Autobot friends have been transformed into these... humans." HoverCadillac says, "Heck with it. Airwolf, bring the naked woman when she wakes up." Gwen Whitmore says, "I mean it, Sky is already looking sick." HoverCadillac says, "Thanks. Let's go, people." HoverCadillac motors out. Gwen Whitmore leans back into the seat with a tired sigh. Hyperion acks as the winds from the movement blows his feathers in his face, "I can't see ... I've gone blind!" Buck Logan says, "Hey Car lady, what the heck is this you got on the radio?" Gwen Whitmore turns to look at Rodimus. "How's the hand feeling?" Buck Logan has never heard the Marshall Fox show before. HoverCadillac says, "People, hold on tight... This is going to get bumpy if the Preds are awake." HoverCadillac says, "It's surf music." Alex Roberts seems pretty much oblivious to anything at the moment, head still bowed and resting glumly on his left hand. He mumbles, "Fine." Diana Vitaan mutters, "You COULD go the other way..." Hyperion rubs at his face, "This is completely ridiculous ..." HoverCadillac says, "Whiz, where's the food located?" Gwen Whitmore says, "EDC lounge should have some. I hope." Gwen Whitmore says, "Otherwise, it's cannibalism for us." > Strafe yells excitedly, "'Ey! Dere're th' dumb humans!" HoverCadillac says, "Roger." Gwen Whitmore says, "I think Slag should be the first victim, since he tried to eat Rodimus." Alex Roberts mumbles, "I have those sodas in my room, but I dunno what the caffeine and all..." Diana Vitaan snorts, "Not likely. These bodies would not yield any food for the others.." HoverCadillac says, "But triceratops are vegitarians." Buck Logan says, "AH! We Knew FX shouldn't have chosen 'Alive' as the In flight Movie on the way to Junkion the other day!" HoverCadillac says, "Lesse..." Gwen Whitmore says, "Tell him that." Alex Roberts grunts. "Doesn't matter. He's not a real Triceratops. HoverCadillac's doors open. HoverCadillac says, "Allll out." Alex Tron says, "Baaaaaaad choice man." EDC Office - Iacon This clean, spacious office has a large window overlooking the construction of New Iacon. A large mahogany desk with a computer terminal sits in the far left corner. On the other side of the room is a meeting table, and chairs that look like they could be adjusted to accomodate Cybertronians whenever necessary. Besides the unusual chairs, everything else in the room is human-sized. On the wall opposite the window is a large framed photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco. Contents: Scott Shaft, Tsukime, Alex Tron, Hyperion, Buck Logan, Diana Vitaan, Gwen Whitmore, HoverCadillac East leads to New Iacon Main Commissary. Gwen Whitmore piles out to look for food. Buck Logan hops out quickly. HoverCadillac says, "Lesse. Human food... I remember some supplies in the Human Off Duty Lounge." HoverCadillac says, "Lesse." Alex Tron says, "Where's the grub, bub?" Gwen Whitmore starts rifling cabinets. HoverCadillac says, "Who would have food?" Buck Logan says, "WHERE'S THE BEEF!" HoverCadillac says, "Shaddup." Gwen Whitmore says, "Oh man. Old mother Hubbard..." HoverCadillac says, "Go get your cookies." Hyperion plops out of the trailer, his feathers blown all over the place, he quietly pushes some out of his face and grunts slightly. HoverCadillac says, "Leeeesssse." You hear a shout from New Iacon Main Commissary... "''ey! Where'd...!" Gwen Whitmore finds a tin of those Danish butter cookies that are found in every office around the universe. HoverCadillac says, "I think we got some... I'll go down to cold storage." Gwen Whitmore says, "Food!" HoverCadillac leaves the EDC Office. Diana Vitaan climbs out and looks around, looking for some food. Buck Logan says, "C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me!!!" Diana Vitaan says, "How MUCH food do we need, Whiz?" Gwen Whitmore puts it down on the conference table, but not before grabbing a few cookies. Dodge Viper arrives from the Main Commissary. Dodge Viper says, "Here ya go." Strafe arrives from the Main Commissary. Strafe follows Mischief in. Alex Tron grabs a handful of cookies. From inside Mischief, Cherity Hunt says, "Hey look, humans!" Buck Logan grabs some cookies and wolfs them down. Strafe yells excitedly, "WHOA!" Diana Vitaan grabs a few cookies for herself, still intently looking at Whiz. Firestone arrives from the Main Commissary. Strafe looks at all the humans. Gwen Whitmore munches. "Small meals. Too much *crunch crunch* and you'll have, er, digestive waste." Firestone says, "Strafe, out." Strafe yells excitedly, "Why?!" Firestone walks in with a crate. Alex Roberts throws himself into a chair, wincing slightly as he throws himself just a *bit* too hard, and lets his chin sink to his chest as he slouches in sulky contemplation of something. Firestone says, "Because you'll step on someone." Strafe yells excitedly, "No I won't!" Buck Logan says, "Waste?" Alex Tron crams a handful into his mouth, chew a bit then gulping down. "Eat it...Just Eat It." Dodge Viper hits the left eject and dumps Cherity. From inside Mischief, Cherity Hunt says, "LEMME OUT YOU PRISON CAR THING!" Firestone says, "Lesse. I got peperoni pizza, regular pizza, milk..." Diana Vitaan nods to Gwen, and then delicately places a cookie to her mouth as she takes a small bite, testing it curiously. Firestone says, "Lot of cheese products." Gwen Whitmore slides a few cookies across the table to her sulky leader. Firestone says, "Hm... Lesse." Cherity Hunt lands OOMPH! butt nekkid too Buck Logan says, "What *crunch munch* do you *munch snarf* mean waste?" Dodge Viper giggles. The Dodge Viper launches itself into the air and quickly rearranges itself into Mischief. Firestone peers in the crate, and starts handing out food. Firestone says, "Some canned vegetables..." Cherity Hunt says, "Oh hey it's Mischief!" Firestone says, "An, lesse..." Hyperion eyes the cookies, "You want me to ingest *this*" holding up the cookie ... "why not a good sized energon cube?" Firestone says, "Pork N Beans." Tsukime looks at the funkey human food. "Ok.." Firestone says, "Some of it has to be cooked." Mischief says, "Ya, how come not energon?" Gwen Whitmore looks at the naked girl. "Cover yourself. Geez. I'll be right back." Cherity Hunt says, "Why?" Gwen Whitmore leaves the EDC Office. Firestone says, "I think there's stuff for it in here somewhere." Alex Roberts looks up at Cherity blandly and says in a quiet aside, "Firestone, find her some clothes, will you..?" He reaches absently for the cookies with his good hand and falls quiet again. Tsukime finds a cookie, and nibbles on it. "Hmm... kind of...weird." Diana Vitaan looks over at Sky Lynx, "If what I know of humans is right, the taste of energon would make you VERY sick.." Alex Tron blinkityblinks at Charity. "HeelllooooooooNurse! Do I know you?" Mischief hrms. Strafe walks over to Mischief, careful not to step on any of the humans. "Where'd all th' humans come from?!" Gwen Whitmore arrives from the Main Commissary. Mischief pulls out a medical scanner and runs a check on Alex Roberts. Gwen Whitmore returns with an armload of clothing and dumps it on the new arrival. "Pick something out." Hyperion says, "Ridiculous, someone get me some energon ..." Mischief mutters to Strafe, "... fairy?" Cherity Hunt says, "Um, I'm uh Cherity yeah, um Cherity Hunt yeah thats the ticket." Strafe yells excitedly, "What's dat?!" Firestone says, "Strafe..." You say, "Sky Lynx, trust Whiz, okay? Eat the.. cookies." Diana Vitaan says, "Sky Lynx, now is not the time to argue. Try it.. I think you'll be surprised."" Firestone says, "Heck with it. Scattershot, get Strafe out of here." Firestone says, "Swiftwind?" Gwen Whitmore meanders over to check for some more cookies. "Who snarfed all the ones that look like pretzels?" Mischief pokes Strafe and starts pointing. "Look.. that's Whiz n Rod n Sky Lynx n..." Alex Tron nods, and crams a few more cookies into his mouth. Strafe yells excitedly, "Huh?! Scats ain' in 'ere!" Buck Logan chomps down cookies, and looks for other food. "Got any STEAK?" Mischief says, "Yah.. see.. there he is." Diana Vitaan continues to eat her cookies, taking a few more before they all disappear. Firestone says, "Spam do?" Hyperion looks at the cookie hatefully. Firestone offers tins of spam. Strafe yells excitedly, "Dat's a dumb human!" Gwen Whitmore bleahs at the cans of spam. Buck Logan says, "SPAM! SPAM! WONDERFUL SPAM!" Alex Tron sings, "Spam in the place where you live...!" Mischief sits down and watches them all. Hyperion says, "But I don't like the cookie." Tsukime munches a bit on a cookie. Firestone says, "Eat the pizza." Cherity Hunt says, "Who me? wha? who's swiftwind?" Mischief says, "Heya, Whiz.. When are you gonna turn everyone back?" Firestone offers the pizza. Firestone says, "Errrr." Gwen Whitmore rubs her hand through her hair again. "Sky Lynx, just EAT the COOKIES!" Buck Logan grabs the tins of spam and quickly opens them, eating the spam RAW! Firestone says, "Where are your chassis?" Diana Vitaan finishes up her cookies, and then walks over to Alex Roberts as he's pouting in his chair, eating. Buck Logan belches loudly. Gwen Whitmore ughs. "Oh, that's soooo gross." Strafe yells excitedly, "Ewwww!" Alex Tron scrunches his face at Buck. "Speeeeewwwwwww." Hyperion growls at the cookie, looks at the pizza, shudders, then back at the cookie. Firestone says, "Well, Vixen, how does it feel to be squishy?" Buck Logan says, "Wow. A real human Belch." You say, "It's not that bad, Sky Lynx." Diana Vitaan says, "Rodimus, I only need some food for the rest who are, I'm sure, feeling much of the same thing we were a little while ago..." Hyperion says, "I guess I can pretend it an energon chip." Buck Logan begins practicing trying to belch out tunes like Wakko Warner :) Alex Tron erks and grabs a peice of pizza. Gwen Whitmore says, "Er, the chassis part is the hard part. Uhm, the Quintessons sorta ambushed us and used the transfer as a weapon. And they took our bodies. And we're sorta stuck." Mischief edges over to SL and patpats him gently. Alex Roberts waves his left hand absently. "Yeah. Take a box or.. something." Gwen Whitmore looks over at Rodimus with a slight wince. Mischief says, "Stuck?" Gwen Whitmore uhms. "Stuck." Tsukime finishes her two cookies, and sits back, looking at what she can see of her body. "Weird." Diana Vitaan looks over her shoulder and UP at Firestone, "Well, it's different to be sure. I haven't exactly formed an opinion yet." Hyperion puts the cookie in his beak and bites down one it, and his paw in the process, "GAHH! It bit me!" Alex Tron scarfs down the pizza slice. Firestone says, "Right. Time to kill the Quints." Cherity Hunt stands and dusts herself off Alex Roberts very carefully doesn't respond to Whiz's comment, although it's rather obvious what he's THINKING. Buck Logan says, "Got any more Spam? That stuff's even better than I heard! And how about some Slim Jims while you're at it!" Firestone says, "Look in the crate." Firestone points at the crate on the floor. Alex Tron hmmmmms. "Pizza Power!" Cherity Hunt says, "This is stupid, I'm getting outta here." Gwen Whitmore says, "Save the rest for our guest to take with her." Buck Logan says, "Pizza?" Cherity Hunt quotes, "Hrm, which way to the front?" Alex Roberts slides out of his chair and skulks over to sit on the floor beside Sky Lynx. "Take it slow." Diana Vitaan walks over and grabs a bag. She then selects some cans and packages, putting them into the bag quickly. As she finishes, she closes up the bag, and turns to look up at Firestone, "Could I inquire a favor of you?" Hyperion rubs his paw, chewing up the cookie, "It's not .... too bad ... maybe I'll have another ... " Scott Shaft says, "'ey, gimme some o'dat..." Mischief continues to patpat SL. Alex Tron hands Buck a slice o' pizza. "Try it dude." Strafe looks down at Scott, staring. Alex Roberts hands Sky Lynx his remaining cookie. "Here. I got the granola bar back at Crystal City." Scott Shaft just stares back up at Strafe. "'eya, Strafe...was' new?" Buck Logan chomps the Pizza down. "Wise proverb say: Always have enough Pizza." Firestone says, "Shoot, Vixen." Mischief transmits a message via radio. Gwen Whitmore guhs and just leaves her hand stuck in her hair for now. "Manohmanohmanohman." Cherity Hunt says, "Um, hey Mischief." Firestone says, "Me, I think you should stay here for a bit." Strafe blinks. "Dat human sounds like Scats!" Firestone says, "It might be a good idea." Mischief looks over at Cherity. "Yah?" Buck Logan says, "Call 1-800-Domino's! Boop boop beep boop beep boo beep!" Scott Shaft says, "It *is* me." Hyperion eyes Mischief, not sure if he enjoys being treated like a pet but doesn't let on, taking Alex's cookie, "They aren't so bad ... I'm starting to feel a bit better." Strafe yells excitedly, "Huh?!" Tsukime finds a fairly neat perch on top of a desk in the back. She crosses her legs to sit indian style on the desk, and watches the others curiously. Alex Tron says, "Pizza Pizza!" Mischief receives a radio transmission from Arachnis. Scott Shaft says, "S'kinda a long story, let's just say I did NOT do dis on purpose or willingly." Alex Tron gulps down another slice Diana Vitaan says, "Well, I need you to radio Brainwave and ask him to meet the two of us at Magnaron.. and then, I need you to please take me there. I can't exactly walk so far very quickly.."" Mischief sits up straight. Strafe scratches his head. "Yer Scats?!" Cherity Hunt says, "Um, Mischief can I speak withyou?" Scott Shaft sees that no one's gonna give him a piece of the pizza, and reaches for one on his own. he stands back up and takes a bite, and makes an odd face. Scott Shaft says, "More or less." Mischief transmits a message via radio. Buck Logan grabs another slice of Pizza and makes a face on it with the toppings "And now it's time for the Pizza Head Show (I always wanted to do this)" Cherity Hunt says, "In private." Strafe bends down, looking closer. Scott Shaft doesn't remove his glasses. Mischief mutters to Cherity Hunt, "In a..." Mischief receives a radio transmission. Mischief says, "Heya, Rod?" Diana Vitaan glances over at Mischief, but returns her gaze back to Firestone. Firestone says, "Well, Vixen?" Alex Roberts looks waaaaay up at MIschief. "What?" Tsukime tilts her head, watching Diana for the moment. Strafe gets down on his knees, looking even closer. Buck Logan says, "Oh look Pizza Head! It's Steve!" Diana Vitaan asked, Stone. Cherity Hunt sits indian atyle on the ground waiting, totaly oblivious to the fact that she is still clothless. Strafe yells excitedly, "You ain' Scats!" Buck Logan grabs a Pizza Cutter Hyperion lies down next to Roddy chewing up the last of the cookies, "The loss of size I can handle, eating these things I can handle, but ........ my tail is gone." Mischief says, "Arachnis says he's got some organic food n stuff." Gwen Whitmore sits in a chair, folds her arms on the table, and puts her head in her arms. Mischief thbts at Diana. "Mind yer own beeszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwax." Scott Shaft says, "Strafe, b'lieve me. I'm yer Chief. I don't look like it, but I am. Burner or Cone ever bother to show up?" Strafe yells excitedly, "No!" Diana Vitaan glances over and up at Mischief and frowns, "I did not ask, did I?" Mischief thbts again. Scott Shaft says, "An' I assure you dat when I get my regular body back, I'm gonna tear a hole in Hun-Grrr just for th' sake of gettin' it outta my system." Strafe looks very confused. Tsukime smirks slightly. Firestone says, "Magnaron, right." Diana Vitaan mutters to herself, "I swear, you Autobots are almost as predjudiced as most of the Decepticons." Mischief receives a radio transmission from Photon. Scott Shaft wolfs down the whole rest of the piece of pizza in his hand, despite not looking much like he enjoys it. He then grabs another. Firestone says, "Sorry, didn't hear that." Gwen Whitmore groans. "Sorry sorry sorry I am sooooo sorry." Mischief transmits a message via radio. Alex Tron has partially disconnected. Firestone transmits a message via radio. [Teletran] Caern transmits: Autobot City to Iacon. Mischief says, "Stone.. will ya let Photon in?" Firestone says, "C'mon... I'm not transforming in here." Firestone leaves the EDC Office. Alex Tron looks up from scarfing. "Sorry fer what?" Buck Logan plays with the Pizza Cutter and the slice of pizza, reenacting his favorite Pizza Hut commercials Strafe yells excitedly, "Well...If ya know who my bro'ers are, an' ya wanna slag Hun-Grrr...Den I guess yer Scats!" Mischief gently pokes at Rod. Diana Vitaan says, "Firestone, would you please radio Brainwave and ask him to meet us at Magnaron? I also need you to take me there if you would. This food has to get back to the others." Alex Roberts grins bleakly at Sky Lynx. "You lost your tail, but..." he breaks off, then looks up over the table at Gwen, his expression falling to one of utter terror for a second. "Primus.. Whiz, if they have the Matrix--" Diana Vitaan leaves the EDC Office. Diana Vitaan has left. [Teletran] Caern transmits: Autobot City to Iacon. Respond Iacon. Gwen Whitmore groans again and just slides under the table. Mischief acks. Tsukime frowns. "Oh dear." Gwen Whitmore curls up into a small ball under the table. "I'm *not* here." Scott Shaft takes off the sunglasses for the first time since acquiring them, revealing stone-gray eyes so filled with pain, rage and a thousand other emotions going together in such a way as to look absolutely cold and feelingless. Hyperion's eyes widen, "That's right ... if the Quintessons have your body ... " Scott Shaft then looks up at Strafe. "I wouldn't lie to ya." Mischief says, "I tell ya what, Roddy.. I'll go fetch it n stuff..." Strafe yells excitedly, "Okay! Yer Scats!" Cherity Hunt says, "Um, I'mm gonna go be, not nacid OK?" Strafe yells excitedly, "Um...Why're you a human?!"" Alex Roberts isn't paying any attention to Mischief, staring nominally at Whiz but more through her than at her, really.. Mischief pushes herself away from the human thingies and gets up. [Teletran] Caern transmits: Iacon Defense Net. Activate. This is Caern. Activate security lockdown of Iacon facility. Level One security protocol. Authorization Caern Alpha Bravo Neddra. Cherity Hunt says, "HEY! Mischief take me with you!" Scott Shaft says, "Blame th' Quints an' to some extent Whiz over dere." Alex Tron looks cross-eyed at a wave of blonde hair hanging beteween his eyes. he calmly pulls off his hat and runs a hand through his hair, brushing it back, then pulls the hat back on, the brim pointing back and to the side a bit. Tsukime looks at Mischief. "So much for things being normal..." Gwen Whitmore curls up tighter under the table and says nothing. Strafe yells excitedly, "Where's Whiz?!" Mischief noddles and steps back to transform. Mischief transmits a message via radio. With a grin, Mischief whirls and collapses into a shiny Dodge Viper. Her engine hums pleasantly while the faint whine of the turbo slowly becomes audible. Scott Shaft says, "Th' smallish one wit' th' yellow uh...hair." Cherity Hunt eeks and was so apsent minded she missed the stack of clossths right next to here Strafe looks at Scats/Scott. "Ya want me ta squish it?!" Tsukime sighs, and slips off the desk, going to the table. She kneels beside it, once she manages to get through the crowd. "Whiz?" Cherity Hunt says, "Where the changin room?" Dodge Viper receives a radio transmission. Scott Shaft says, "Uh-uh." Dodge Viper hmmmms. Gwen Whitmore mutters to Tsukime, "I'm not... try... happened." Dodge Viper casts a changing room holo over Charity. Scott Shaft grabs another piece of pizza. Strafe yells excitedly, "Ok!" Hyperion lays his head on the ground, a small sigh rises from him, his large wings move slightly and he nestles his head under one of his wings. Cherity Hunt puts on clothes. Tsukime mutters to Gwen Whitmore, "... But... not... to go away. Why don't... out from... there...it... very..." Gwen Whitmore shakes her head tightly. Alex Roberts doesn't appear to have blinked in the past several minutes. Buck Logan is lost in the world of reenacting Pizza Hut commercials. Gwen Whitmore mutters to Tsukime, "... FX's... Rodimus'... crushed,... me,... now... Quintessons... Matrix.... of course... to... melt... of... coming..." Tsukime sighs, and gets under the table with Gwen. Tsukime mutters to Gwen Whitmore, "... love... the voice... ...." Eddie Magruder arrives from the Main Commissary. Dodge Viper leaves the EDC Office. Eddie Magruder comes in and falls down Tsukime smirks a bit. Scott Shaft is eating like a horse and saying nothing, having put his shades back on. Tsukime mutters to Gwen Whitmore, "... I will do... gotten out... before-... a..." Eddie Magruder gasps, "Hello..." Gwen Whitmore mutters to Tsukime, "We're doomed." Alex Roberts croaks something to himself that might've been the word 'Prime' but you can't quite decide for certain. He curls up and wraps his arms around his bent knees, hiding his face. Dodge Viper arrives from the Main Commissary. Buck Logan is eating like....a professional wrestler, having finished using a slice of pizza to reenact Pizza Head commercials Gwen Whitmore peeks out from her fetal ball to look at Moonracer. Photon arrives from the Main Commissary. Dodge Viper says with a strange tone, "Charity?" Photon says, "Primus . . . it's true. . ." Dodge Viper heheheheees.. "Ooops, I'm getting fuzzy again." Eddie Magruder looks not so good. Charity Hunt walks out. Strafe is on his knees, looking at Scott. Photon hurries over to Eddie. Gwen Whitmore sighs heavily. "I guess I'm not doing any good like this." Charity Hunt says, "Sorry, pants were too small, had to squeeze." Tsukime mutters to Gwen Whitmore. Eddie Magruder falls down. Photon catches him. Dodge Viper hrms at Eddie. Tsukime shakes her head. "No. It's not helping much. " Photon says, "Mischief, the EDC shuttle outside has some emergency medical supplied. Can you get them?" Charity Hunt craks her nuckles and pulls a cigar out of a pocket and bites into it. Photon lies Eddie down slowly. Dodge Viper noddles. Charity Hunt says, "Any body got a light?" Gwen Whitmore unfolds a bit and leans against a table leg. "Well, looks like we have to get our bodies back. And... wha?" Dodge Viper leaves the EDC Office. Eddie Magruder says, "Con though ...me...escape..missile." Gwen Whitmore crawls out toward Eddie. "What's up with him?" Scott Shaft says, "You need somethin' Strafe?" Photon looks around. "And I'm not a medic....oh, great." Strafe yells excitedly, "No!" Mischief arrives from the Main Commissary. Mischief stumbles in, carrying the transport boxes. Alex Tron says, "I think so...." he snaps his fingers, like working a lighter. Nothing. he tries again. nothing. "Darn. Can't do that anymore." Mischief drops them with an ooof. Buck Logan says, "A light," and tries to will a lamp to come to him out of subspace, but realizes his human body doesn't have subspace storage. Charity Hunt says, "Gimmie." Mischief says, "Here.. I gotta like go see Spidey." Photon says, "Great. Let's get them unpacked...." Gwen Whitmore says, "Well, at least now I have plenty of use for that human medicine I learned..." Photon says, "Anyone here got medical knowledge? For organics, I mean?" Gwen Whitmore nods. Scott Shaft runs his fingers through his hair and smooths it a bit. Mischief glances at Rod again, briefly, quizzically, and, for just a moment, sanely, then leaves. Charity Hunt says, "Wait! me to *takes lighter and sparks it on the first time, lighting the stogie* letsgo!" Mischief leaves the EDC Office. Alex Tron continues to snap his fingers. "Come on man, light. Light damn it light!" Tsukime follows Whiz out from under the table. Charity Hunt leaves the EDC Office. Alex Roberts rocks slightly, still curled up on the floor by the table, mumbling to himself. Gwen Whitmore urghs. "He was in the way of a missile. Looks like it impacted close enough to throw up some shrapnel." Photon drops EDC Emergency Med Supplies. Photon says, "Owch. And without armor . . . um, who was he? Before, I mean." Tsukime frowns. "That's not good." Gwen Whitmore snatches the supplies and begins working mechanically on the wounds, binding them up without noticing the curious lack of blood. Photon stands up and surveys the room. "Anyone else hurt?" Gwen Whitmore says, "It could have been worse, I suppose." Gwen Whitmore says, "It could have hit him." Tsukime says, "I'm fine." Photon says, "No-one hurt? Great. Um, ah, who's Rodimus?" Alex Tron plops down on the floor, wiping his mouth off with his hands... Alex Roberts glances up vaguely, thinking he heard his name. Gwen Whitmore points heavy-heartedly at Alex Roberts on the floor. Gwen Whitmore then gets back to trying to stabilize the broken bones. Scott Shaft says, "So....NOW wat da slag we do?" Gwen Whitmore begins work on Eddie Magruder's superficial damage, bringing it back up to full strength. Tsukime says, "Is there anything I can do to help you, Whiz?" Charity Hunt arrives from the Main Commissary. Photon looks at Scott. "As soon as I talk to Rodimus, I'll radio back for whatever supplies you guys need, and, erm, ah . . . I dunno . . . Gwen Whitmore guestures a little impatiently and concentrates on what she is doing. Charity Hunt steps back in, stogie half smoked. Alex Roberts coughs. "What is that SMELL?" Buck Logan says, "Don't you know the surgeon gewneral has warned that that's bad for your health?" Charity Hunt blows big cigar smoke, "This!" Scott Shaft says, "I donno but it's awful..." Firestone arrives from the Main Commissary. Firestone says, "Okay..." Photon says, "Oh, Charr, I'm gonna be playing 'Guess the Bot' for the rest of my time here....Who's Rodimus?" Alex Roberts hacks a few more times. "Put that damn thing out. It stinks." Buck Logan says, "Smells worse than Blot" Gwen Whitmore looks up. "Firestar, put that flame out, will you?" Firestone says, "Sulking in the chair." Charity Hunt says, "Make me puny man." Tsukime gestures to the complaining human. Strafe yells excitedly, "Blot?! Where's dat hordelin?!" Alex Roberts slowly climbs to his feet, still not looking too happy. "I'm Rodimus." Firestone says, "What flame?" Gwen Whitmore points over her shoulder to the cigar. Charity Hunt hides her cigar. Firestone shrugs. Buck Logan says, "Uh oh....I think I ate a little too fast.....Now I know what those Gas-X commercials are talking about..." Photon walks up to Rodi...er, Alex R. "Oh. Um....I guess, as EDC represenatative, Um, do you need any supplies? Medical, food . . . anything?" Tsukime says, "The thing in that female's mouth is on fire and hurting her. get rid of it before it gets any worse." Buck Logan gets a strained look on his face Firestone says, "If she doesn't give it to me, I'd hurt her trying to get it from her." Firestone says, "Oh." Firestone hums. Charity Hunt says, "Hey EDC guy, I wanna see earth!" Buck Logan says, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Alex Tron blinks at Buck. "You okay man? Firestone takes a bottle of Gatoraide from the carton she had, and pours it on the cigar and stuff. Photon ignores the huamn femme and waits for an answer from Alex-Rod. Charity Hunt says, "HEY! thats a good American stogie!" Buck Logan says, "Just give me a minute, I think this body knows what to do" Alex Roberts rifles his uninjured left hand through his hair, mussing it even worse. "Uhh.. yeah. I You say, "Thank you, Firestone." Photon nods. "Okay. I'll use a radio and call in help from Earth. Anything in specific?" Eddie Magruder has connected. Buck Logan passes gas LOUDLY, and very SMELLILY. Charity Hunt says, "Cuban Cigars, A big Harley and a shotgun." Photon groans. Charity Hunt says, "GEESH! thats worse then the cigar!" Alex Tron says, "Hey?! Who cut the cheese?" Scott Shaft hacks slightly. "Now a shotgun I could go for." Alex Roberts glances over at Whiz, then back up at Photon. "Uhh.. I think sugars are the best.. stuff with quick energy in it or something." Firestone says, "I don't, Rod." Firestone says, "Energy bars... MREs..." Strafe yells excitedly, "What's a shotgun?! I'll git ya one!" Buck Logan says, "Ahhh. That's better. *rubs his stomach*" Firestone says, "MREs. Balanced diet is important. Sugars would be bad for the bodies." Photon nods. "Right. I'll be . . . no?" he turns to Firestone. "Rations, right . . . okay." You say, "You don't what, Firestone?" Charity Hunt says, "It's a human weapon." Photon heads for the door. Strafe yells excitedly, "Oh!" Firestone says, "I don't think sugars are good. They'll give you a quick boost, then a big let down." Firestone says, "Like nitrous." Strafe looks at all the humans. "Do any of ya have a shotgun?!" Buck Logan says, "Shotgun is what ppl say when they want the front seat in a car" Eddie Magruder was blown stupid by a missile You say, "Hey, ask Whiz, this was HER experiment. We're NOT human, y'know." Photon tosses over his shoulder "I think Stormy is gonna learn that the hard way back home, Stone!" Firestone says, "Dixie has a shotgun." Strafe yells excitedly, "'eah ya are!" Photon leaves the EDC Office. Charity Hunt says, "I say we armwrestle for it" Strafe points at Alex. "Yer a human!" Scott Shaft says, "Strafe, a shotgun is a gun what shoots a lotta little bullets in a big spread stead o' a straight stream." Tsukime says, "I think asking Whiz would be the best plan. Or one of those who were part of her experiment?"" Firestone says, "Okay." Eddie Magruder says, "Help" Firestone says, "You want to armwrestle me, Swifty?" Strafe yells excitedly, "Oh! Ok!" Scott Shaft says, "Some o' da solos used to carry 'em." Eddie Magruder chcke...gasph You say, "No, I just look like a human right now, Strafe.." Alex Roberts sighs. Charity Hunt says, "huh? um yeah, so?" Firestone says, "It's going to be a long week. Rod, I suggested to Vixen that we work together on this one." Eddie Magruder gasph ..."help' Charity Hunt says, "Alright, field trip! Who wansta go check out the land of couch-patatos and TV!" Alex Tron says, "oh ohohohohohoh. Me me me me!" Firestone receives a radio transmission from Arachnis. Firestone says, "Ah, heck..." Firestone says, "Missy?" Firestone transmits a message via radio. Firestone says, "WHIZ!" Firestone says, "Where's Whiz?" Firestone receives a radio transmission. Firestone says, "Missy's been poisoned by Venom." Firestone transmits a message via radio to Arachnis. Firestone transmits a message via radio. Charity Hunt says, "Lets hit memorial and go! um, who are you again?" Firestone receives a radio transmission. Firestone transmits a message via radio. Alex Tron says, "I was Cyclo-Tron...but methinks I need a human name if I'm gonna be a human." Eddie Magruder groans.. Firestone says, "Whiz, Missy's been poisoned." Firestone says, "Venom." Eddie Magruder is still concsious Firestone says, "Any thoughts?" Charity Hunt says, "Whatever, let's bolt, this is starting to scare me." Gwen Whitmore looks up from her work on Eddie. "Kinda hard for me to speculate in the condition I'm in, isn't it?" Firestone says, "So what do I do, Whiz?" Tsukime says, "I told her what Chromia found in my systems- I would have thought it was similar." Gwen Whitmore says, "Find a medic." Eddie Magruder says, "Ugh...and I'm the one who know humans.." Firestone says, "Aw, geez. I hate being in charge." [Teletran] Jen Bradford transmits: Testing.... Firestone sighs. Firestone leans against a wall. Alex Tron walks over to Cherity. "I'm with you dudette." Gwen Whitmore looks at herself, then makes a sweeping gesture to take in all of the humans in the room. "Look at what happens when I try to take charge! I don't know, okay?" Charity Hunt says, "Anybody else got the bearings?" [Teletran] Jen Bradford transmits: Anyone at Iacon? Come in please Firestone receives a radio transmission from Arrow-ship. Scott Shaft says, "I gotta take a fraggin' walk. I'd appreciate it if none o'you followed me." Photon arrives from the Main Commissary. Photon walks in, nervous. Charity Hunt says, "Taken a leak scats?" Strafe yells excitedly, "I'll take ya!" [Teletran] Jen Bradford transmits: Anyone at Iacon, please come in.... Photon walks over to Alex-Rod. Scott Shaft says, "A wha?" Scott Shaft just stares at the tallish woman, then turns to Strafe. "Uh- uh. I said I'd apppreciate it if no one follows." Charity Hunt says, "A leak, you know go to the bathroom." Photon says, "SIr, I've sent a message to Earth for the food and medical supplies. I couldn'y get a reply, so it's anybody's guess when they'll get here." Strafe yells excitedly, "Ok! I'll go ta my room den!" Scott Shaft makes it obvious from the look he gives her that he neither knows nor cares what she's talking about. Strafe walks out, glancing back at Scott every few steps. Strafe leaves the EDC Office. Photon sighs. "I'm going to get the rest of the emergency supplies off the Explorer." Mischief arrives from the Main Commissary. Arachnis arrives from the Main Commissary. Eddie Magruder says, "Cons up to somthing on...Earth." Arachnis says, "Mischief, stop!" Mischief stops. Firestone receives a radio transmission. Arachnis is pursuing Mischief and nearly runs into her. Eddie Magruder acks. Arachnis succeeds in grasping Mischief, throwing her off-balance. Alex Tron makes a sweeping gesture towards the door as he faces Cherity. "After you, my dear." Photon whoas. Gwen Whitmore guhs. "What now?" Mischief acks! Tsukime says, "We love you anyway, Whiz." Tsukime grins. Arachnis nearly falls, but grabs hold of Mischief. Charity Hunt says, "Alright Cyclo lets bolt" Alex Roberts looks mildly sick and it has nothing to do with physical discomfort. "Uhhh.. excuse me.." Alex Roberts tries to slip out the door. Eddie Magruder says, "If you didn't know its...me Hound" Arachnis holds onto Mischief. 'Firestone....Mischief needs help, badly." Mischief says, "Heya Roddy! I brought Arachnis." Photon follows after him. Gwen Whitmore gets to her feet. Mischief says, "And he brought.. ummm.... somethingIforget." Charity Hunt leaves the EDC Office. Scott Shaft leaves the EDC Office. Alex Tron leaves the EDC Office. Eddie Magruder stands slowly Photon groans loudly. "I can't cope with all this!" Gwen Whitmore heads over to Alex-Rod. Alex Roberts pauses, rubbing at the metal splint on his right hand. "Brought something?" Photon rushes out of the room. Photon leaves the EDC Office. Mischief remembers. "Yah.. the food!" Arachnis orients on Alex and nods. "I heard..what had happened. I have a shipment of organic food and drink for your use." Arachnis says, "You may pay for it later." Alex Roberts blinks. "Oh. Great.. uh.. yeah. Thanks.." Gwen Whitmore mutters to herself, "... for... right." Mischief sighs. Arachnis takes Mischief byt he arm and leads her back out. "Come one, Mischief. You need a doctor." Mischief says, "Nooooooooooo.. I need a V8..." Gwen Whitmore mutters to Alex Roberts, "... you.... can..." Gwen Whitmore whispers "I need to talk to you. Maybe I can explain a little bit..." Mischief gets dragged. Arachnis says firly. "No, you need to have Venom's acid purged from yoru systems before it eats further into your neural net." Alex Roberts nods vaguely at Gwen. Mischief hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmzzzzz. Mischief says, "No soup for me?" Gwen Whitmore's brow is furrowed in concern. Arachnis says, "No soup for you. Come on." Arachnis leaves the EDC Office. Mischief leaves the EDC Office. Alex Roberts nods to Gwen and slouches out. Eddie Magruder takes some food You leave the EDC Office. New Iacon Main Commissary Arachnis says, "Mischief needs help. She's been poison'ed by Venom's venom. It's eating into her neural net and causing damage." Gwen Whitmore arrives from the EDC Office. Mischief giggles. "Darnit Jim, I'm a human, not a doctor!" Arachnis receives a radio transmission from Arrow-ship. Eddie Magruder arrives from the EDC Office. Arachnis transmits a message via radio. Gwen Whitmore mutters to Alex Roberts, "... a human-sized... my lab by..." Gwen Whitmore whispers "I installed a human-sized control pad on my lab by now." You say, "Wasn't she in medbay earlier because of that..?" Charity Hunt says, "bah, i couldn't use Cybertronian sized tools anyway" Arachnis says, "Then show me what to do." Charity Hunt says, "What if I don't like you?" Mischief grins at Rod and wags a finger. "Yup.. I told Pakky to purge the lines, but he forgot....." Mischief says, "No scanny thing test either...." Arachnis looks at Charity and says evenly. "If you're willing to let a patient suffer, then you're not a doctor." Eddie Magruder steps on the people-mover, and heads south into Iacon Base. Eddie Magruder has left. Mischief hrms at Arachnis. "Hey.. sitsallrightI'llbeokay." Charity Hunt says, "I'll do it for Mischief, cause she's cool, but I'm wasting valuable play-time" You paged Krystal with 'So do you want me to or not?'. Arachnis transmits a message via radio to Arrow-ship. Arachnis says, "Good." Arachnis says, "Please, do it now." Charity Hunt says, "Take me to the med-bay." Arachnis nods and bends down to pick Charity up carefully. Arachnis steps on the people-mover, and heads south into Iacon Base. Mischief steps on the people-mover, and heads south into Iacon Base. Alex Tron steps on the people-mover, and heads south into Iacon Base. Alex Roberts mutters to Gwen Whitmore, "... what is it... wanted..." You whisper "So what is it you wanted to tell me?" to Gwen Whitmore. Gwen Whitmore mutters to Alex Roberts, "Well, uhm, I have... theories... you... better...." Gwen Whitmore whispers "Well, uhm, I have some theories that might make you feel better. Maybe." Gwen Whitmore sees everyone else leave and sighs a bit in relief. "This has been kinda overwhelming." Alex Roberts nods. "Okay. Shoot." Alex Roberts eyes Gwen sideways. "Overwhelming doesn't begin to cut it."
