Sky above Iacon Soaring above the Cybertron cityscapes and highways, you can get a much better picture of the devastation the war has wrought upon what used to be a beautiful place. Still, the view of Iacon, previously discouraging, now shows new construction. Contents: Sensor Obvious exits: South leads to Sky above Tunnel of Retoris. Down leads to Gates of New Iacon. Down leads to Iacon Plain. You transmit a message to Snowball: Umm, I'll get back to ye. FX flies in from the south. FX has arrived. FX runs into the room sounding like The Six Million Dollar Man. FX says, "Junk medic On his way!" FX looks at his radio, 'Oh No! a long Range Radio transmission!' FX says, "Scur may I?" FX says, "Use you and abuse you?" FX receives a radio transmission. FX transmits a message via radio. FX covers his ears, 'Make the voices stop!' FX receives a radio transmission. You say, "Huhwah?" FX grumbles alot, 'Medic.. medic...Damit Jim.... Time for Revenge!' Junkion Pirate Vessel looks rather confused, for a flying boat. FX says, "They need me....I feel so Loved...." FX soars downward towards the Gates of Iacon below. FX has left. You fly downward to the Gates of Iacon... Gates of New Iacon This massive construction area is the tangible promise of a new, rebuilt, refortified Iacon. From this vantage point, it is difficult to see how much construction has already been completed, because the massive fortress-like walls to the city are already in place. The giant gates leading into Iacon prohibit any illegal access, and the huge gun turrets atop the Base Defense Perimeter are enough to eradicate even the most persistant Decepticons. Contents: FX Stratosphere Automatic Base Defenses Iacon Base Perimeter Defense Iacon Obvious exits: Fly leads to Sky above Iacon. South leads to Iacon Plain. You say, "Aloha-oi." FX grumbles as he flys into view with a half smile on his face, "How may I be of Service?" Junkion Pirate Vessel flies down behind FX, still marginally confoozed. Stratosphere receives a radio transmission from Pathfinder. Stratosphere says, "Glad you could make it. We have 2 who are woundeed. Afterburner with a Scourge size fist hole that goes all the way through, and Scattershot what enought damge to make a new Scrap yard." The space pirate ship splits apart at the seams and straightens out, sails disappearing as it shrinks down to form the Junkion pirate, Scur-Vee! You say, "Well, that ain't it." Stratosphere says, "they are in the Med bay." Stratosphere has left. Stratosphere proceeds into the Iacon base. Stratosphere emerges from the massive gates. Stratosphere has arrived. You say, "Oh, we were supposed to follow?" FX quotes, "i guess so.." FX has left. FX proceeds into the Iacon base. Scur-Vee shrugs. Scur-Vee follows. You proceed through the gates which lead into the Autobot city of Iacon... Central Hallway - New Iacon Base This is a large, high-ceilinged, elliptical room with white quartz floors, and ornate metallic pillars with scenes from Iacon's proud history etched into them. You get a sense of Iacon's former glory from seeing this new construction, and it fills you with hope. Several rooms branch out from this hallway. On the east wall is a Grav-Lift leading downwards. Contents: FX Pathfinder Snowball Posting on wall: Rules of Engagement Recycling Bins Obvious exits: Southeast leads to Iacon MedCenter Waiting Room. North leads to New Iacon Main Commissary. West leads to Monitor Room. Northwest leads to Briefing Room. Grav-Lift leads to Tunnel-West End. South leads to Gates of New Iacon. Stratosphere enters Iacon through the gates. Stratosphere has arrived. Scur-Vee walks this way, talks this way. Stratosphere heads southeast, into the Repair Bay. Stratosphere has left. FX walks swiftly into Iacon, "Hold on for one more day! This will go your way!" Pathfinder is standing around...looking for something to do...and then notices scur-vee and fx and noding to scur-vee says "Heya again.." and then nods to FX.. Snowball says, "Howdy" Scur-Vee waves. "Ahoy ahoy." Stratosphere arrives from the Med Center. Stratosphere has arrived. Stratosphere gesters for FX to follow. Stratosphere heads southeast, into the Repair Bay. Stratosphere has left. FX makes a gesture of his own ;) FX says, "Duty calls...." FX sighs... Scur-Vee raises an eyebrow, then follows dutifully. Pathfinder blinks...and then turning to snowball says "Know anything fun to do round here?" Snowball follows out of curiousity FX quotes, "Repairs.. aren't..." FX is whisked away north on a people-mover into the Main Commissary. FX has left. FX arrives on the people-mover from the Main Commissary. FX has arrived. FX runs into the room sounding like The Six Million Dollar Man. FX heads southeast, into the Repair Bay. FX has left. Snowball heads southeast, into the Repair Bay. Snowball has left. You head southeast, into the Repair Bay. Iacon MedCenter Waiting Room This large, spacious anteroom has plenty of places to sit and await repairs. Pictures of Old Iacon and Crystal City from long ago decorate the walls. A passage in the north wall leads into the main repair room. This seems to be the perfect place to sit and remember the good old days...or to wallow in pain and abject misery, whichever you prefer. Either way, you must wait your turn to be repaired.

FX has left. Snowball heads into the Repair Room. Snowball has left. Pathfinder heads into the Repair Room. Pathfinder has left. You head into the Repair Room. Iacon MedCenter Repair Room This Med Center is small in comparison to the one at the main Autobot Headquarters, yet its facilities are not inadequate. Five tables are here, along with several new Cybertronian repair scanners and equipment, to serve the Autobot army's repair needs if necessary. In the corner is a small desk, with a computer monitor set on top of it...in case the doctor requires access to Autobot medical records. A sign hangs crookedly on the wall above the console, declaring, "No Sniveling". Contents: Pathfinder Snowball FX Typhoon Caterwaul Gumby Medic Medbay Cabinet Recharging Station Obvious exits: Waiting Room leads to Iacon MedCenter Waiting Room. Scur-Vee glanceth about. "Damn. No sniveling." Pathfinder blinks "What???" FX itches his butt Scur-Vee points to the 'no sniveling' sign. You say, "See? No sniveling." FX says, "Who thought til tuesday was making a porno?" Pathfinder looks a bit confused at the sign and says "Oooook...." FX says, "Am I on Candid Camera?" Snowball raises an optic at FX.. FX says, "I..I..." FX says, "I'm beside myself!" Snowball looks to the left and right of Fx, "liar" FX has arrived. Snowball crosses his arms, "cute.." FX says, "What?" FX says, "What?" Pathfinder looks at FX and says "What -are- you talking about? What's candid camera?" FX says, "There is no one in here!" Scur-Vee crosses his arms and looks to Pathfinder. "Obviously, you don't talk TV." Pathfinder says, "TV?" Snowball has had enough Earth experience to understand ohh....90 percent of what they say.. FX says, "Yeah! And now the News! Don't touch that dial!" Snowball adds, "Or else.." Pathfinder looks wierdly at FX and Scur-vee "Ummm.......oook..." Scur-Vee explains. "Television. The magic box." He produces a small TV set. FX says, "Beans Beans beans.....The magical fruit! The more you eat the more you toot!" Pathfinder slowly backs -away- from the two junkions...looking at them as if their some new wierd previously undiscuverd speicies... Scur-Vee grins evilly at Pathfinder and then glances to FX. Looking at Pathfinder again, he slowly advances with his Television set in hand. "All will succumb to the will of the magic box...." Snowball chuckles at poor Pathfinders disposition, "You'll understand as you hang around with them more.." Pathfinder eh?'s and looking to snowball says "Ummm...what are they talking about???" FX says, "The Magic box will consume all." Pathfinder says, "umm..no...no I dont think I will understand them..." Snowball starts to laugh out loud.. FX says, "We will assimulate you...Resistance is futile!" Pathfinder blinks "has anyone ever told you two that you are both -extremely- wierd?" Snowball acts , "no! No! NOOOOOOO!!! AHH!!!" then looks like he's in a daze, "Yes..the box is mighty....it is all powerful..." Scur-Vee continues to close in on Pathfinder. "Not at all.... why?" Pathfinder is starting to look very confused just about now...still looking at the junkions as if their are talking with their feet or something...."Uhhh...well...you are..." Scur-Vee grins darkly and holds the television set in Pathfinder's face. "Watch the box .... watch the box ...." Snowball zombie walks towards Pathfinder, "Come...join us....in Happy Fun land...it's peaceful and happy here...please, join us.." FX reaches out his hand at Pathfinder, "I can show you the world....." Pathfinder starts backing up again, and then bumps into the wall behind him....the expression on his face is almost priceless as he manages to look lost, some what freaked out, currious, and a bunch of otherthings all at once... FX has left. Snowball closes in on Pathfinder, "Happiness...all you have to do is accept...it's just a yes away..." Scur-Vee's optic patch flares a bright red as he speaks, "Yes ... the world ... through the eyes of the magic box... It can be yours ..." Snowball says, "Just do it....." Typhoon sighs and heads towards the exit. Typhoon heads back into the Waiting Room. Typhoon has left. Pathfinder is utterly freaked out now, and quickly pushing past snowball turns about, holding his hand up in a sort of defeated/defensive postiure and says "Uhh...look...beenn..umm...nice meeting you two..but umm..I think I should uhh...leave..." and with that he all but bolts for the door... Stratosphere comes in from the Waiting Room. Stratosphere has arrived. FX says, "Another to Join us..." Snowball jaunts after, "Come back!! Cooommme Baaaaaaaack!!" Pathfinder calls out as practically leaps though the doorway "Umm..no thanks!" Pathfinder heads back into the Waiting Room. Pathfinder has left. Stratosphere looks at the wounded then at FX "How is Afterburner doing with that Hole in him?" Scur-Vee turns, zombie-like as Pathfinder makes a break for it. "No ... come back ... the box ... /needs/ you..." Snowball trips and falls onteh floor luaghing his aft off... Scur-Vee shrugs and puts away the television, then falls back onto the floor and starts cracking up. Caterwaul hmpths Caterwaul resumes grooming, ignoring the inanity Stratosphere says, "Thanks for coming FX. I have no idea what to do, i need to learn though." Scur-Vee gasps for breath, and resumes a standing position. Snowball tries to get up, but looks at the Junkions and can't help it and falls over again.. Scur-Vee snickers a couple more times, trying to regain his composure. FX looks at Strats, 'TV! NOW.. Repairs...LATER!' Snowball is rolling on the floor holding his gut.. Stratosphere shrugs. "I'm going to get cleaned up, and I'll be in my Cubicle. Snowball, get me if there conditions change." and he turns to leave the group. FX shakes his head and comes back to normal, "Oh they are fine!...Dead..but fine!" Stratosphere heads back into the Waiting Room. Stratosphere has left. FX says, "You can announce their time of death..." FX shouts, "HEY!!" Stratosphere comes in from the Waiting Room. Stratosphere has arrived. FX shouts, "THEY DIED!!!!" Stratosphere facepalms and looks at the monitors "Funny FX, really funny." turns and leaves again. Stratosphere heads back into the Waiting Room. Stratosphere has left. FX shouts, "They are Dead!1!" Scur-Vee hms. "Well, that was different. Shall we be off then?" FX says, "Shure!" Scur-Vee walks out the door like Genesis in their 'I Can't Dance' video. "Walk this way! Talk this way!" You head back into the Waiting Room. Iacon MedCenter Waiting Room This large, spacious anteroom has plenty of places to sit and await repairs.

FX says, "Advertize! Advertize! And Make him Submit!" FX says, "The Television or Nothing!" FX quotes, "Good food.. good people.. We'll charm him all night!" FX heads northwest, back into the Central Hallway. FX has left.
