Protihex-City state

[DarkXenith]

As the situation abated, Jumpstart went into action. Taking position quickly by the injured femme's side, he gave a short nod and set to work to stem the leak by packing the wound out and setting a drain into place to prevent contamination of her ventilation systems.

"Stay with me femme, can't do much out here. Let's get you ship-side where I can. Gonna do a very quick patch job so you're fit t' transport."[/color]

Sliding a micro-tool into the wound beneath the packing as the fluid leakage slowed, the medic worked blind, crimping the arterial line back together and heat sealing it. He had sufficient energon packs on board to address the fuel loss. He needed a clean working area to finish the repairs.

Glancing up, he noticed Tecton at the entrance to the ship and called over to the mech, "Gimme a hand over here, Tech! We need to get her inside an' set up for repairs!"[/color]

[carmana]

Carmana glared at the spot Fear vanished from, he sighed. He noticed the med bot and quickly followed, he felt he had to help some how."Hey medic, sorry for forgetting your name, is there anything I can do to help with her wound? I feel kinda responsible...fear used my pistol after all...I should never have slacked my grip on it..." he kept following and looked down

[DarkXenith]

Jumpstart's response was to be expected. The medic did not suffer fools lightly, in fact he didn't suffer them at all. Tone even he responded without even looking at the youngster:

"Yeah, you can get the frag outta my face when I'm workin'. I don't need some jumped up rookie maulin' her - an' next time you put a weapon before a life like that, I'm gonna rip out your manifold an' use it for a wall-hangin'. Long as that's perfectly clear, get your aft on that ship and stay the hell outta my way. Understood?"[/color]

He didn't raise his voice above an icy whisper, but then he didn't feel the need to. Vibro and this newbie had brought Fear into their midst against the order of a superior officer. As a result, he now had a casualty on his hands.

[FrostWhisper]

Silentsong was vaguely aware that bots were speaking, she tried to focus on the voices of the Autobots who were speaking in an effort to stay awake, but she could only catch a few words before her mind became a hazy fog again. Silentsong was almost unconscious, but she could still feel the pain of her wound and she thought of that as a good thing, the pain let her know that she was still alive. Through everything that was happening, Silentsong felt helpless, and she hated that. Silentsong didn't want to become a burden, and she certainly didn't want to slow down the mission. "Just... leave me... here..." Silentsong managed to gasp between breaths, her voice barely more than a whisper. "Don't... let... the Decepticons... get to the Allspark..." Silentsong fell unconscious before she could hear any response.

Vibro couldn't process what has transpired in the last few nanocycles. Fear used a hostage then almost killed the hostage. From Carama putting a weapon before an autobot to Fear disappearing....oh and Laser giving Fear the speech. What the frag just happened here and this came out of no where. More along, Fear had just wasted everyone time. Now they got a life on the line, this is just freaking great.

"Carmana, remind me to teach you that autobots are always first. As a security guard, I'm sure you know fellow co-workers are important then a accessories. Please don't take Jumpstart comment to harshly."

With that said, Vibro looked up to Laser as Fear shot him. Going over to him, he looked back at the rest of the autobots and at Jumpstart.

"All autobots & pirates, please go to the ship, we have wasted enough time. Jumpstart, is there anyway you can take her to the ship to do repairs?"

Looking at Laser, as more time passes, Vibro began to understand what Laser is going through and understood him. Seeing the damage to see if it was fatal, he looked up to Laser optics.

"Are you alright comrade?"

[Laser]

(EDIT FOR VIBRO)

The blaster had cut a hole the size of a cantaloupe in Laser's chest. It didn't break through, but the pistol had a pretty impressive caliber on it. He wouldn't even think about asking to examine it, lest Carmana blew up on him. Watching the altercation between Jumpstart and Carmana, Laser said nothing, but agreed with the medic. What Carmana did was no less than reckless. His actions could have caused the loss of even more lives. But he said nothing. What Jumpstart said was more than enough, and anyone adding anything to it would just be bullying the poor boy.

He looked up, scanning the skies and finding Aegis steadily soaring the heights. It was time to join her there. His gazed shifted to Vibro when he questioned his well being."I'm fine, brother. Thank you for your concern. Commander, Aegis and I will journey ahead. If you have any orders, please contact us on this channel....Cutlass, my friend, These ship upgrades are for you. Take it as a gift from all of us. These aren't much, but will greatly help boost your rotor guns and defensive qualities."

Laser would meet Fear again. And when he did, he would rip him apart.

"Until Iota we meet. Spironok!" The great metal beast burst from the ground, shrieking as it attached and flattened itself onto Laser's back. The Gaurdian then spiraled into his alt form, every shard of black metal twisting into a special function and disappearing into a sleek, stream lined form as he rocketed upwards on a brilliant blue flame....

[Rexacon]

Nodding to Laser as he had taken off, Vibro headed to the ship. It was good that two of their comrades are getting the head start. A good way for him to catch some ground and be prepared as to what they are expecting. However, going back to Alpha Trion words, the vault also held the original thetacons and their God. Having the information being passed from Prime to Prime, it was thought that Iota was lost. Now they found it and hope Primus that the decepticons didn't. Knowing them, they probably did before destroying the citadel. Sitting down, Vibro began thinking on their next battle plan. He would have to fill in the rest of the autobots on what he had learned from Alpha Trion once this ship leaves.

[carmana]

Carmana just found a spot in a corner to sit down, he felt bad about loosing his temper and it showed in how his shoulders slumped. He sighed. "why am I so stupid? I blew my chance of being respected by the others, some first impression I made." he mumbled to himself, he looked at his pistol and shook his head. "I need to stop letting my past get to me, what's wrong with me? I'm loosing it..."

[Cutlass Rebooted]

"If Fear ever dares to show his face in my presence again I won't hesitate to put a plasma blast 'tween his eyes..." Cutlass glares into the ground only looking up when Laser speaks to him. "Thanks." Still frowning he charges back to the ship. I've never let any of the lasses in my crew get hurt like that, I feel as though I've failed her... I won't let it happen again.
Teleporting? Hmm... He transforms his hand back and runs over seeing the damage done he sends Volca a message. "Volca prepare the med bay." With the words he sends some information so that she would have everything that would be required ready. "Is she stable enough to be moved?"
On the ship:
"Silentsong has been injured badly!" Volca rushes off to the medical bay upon receiving the message from Tecton. In under three minutes she has everything ready.

[DarkXenith]

"Easy, girl, easy. I gotchya. No one gets left behind on my watch,"[/color] Jumpstart murmured to Silentsong as she slipped under. Then, nodding to Vibro, he responded as much to the comms mech as to Tecton, "Mech, I'm already on it. She's good enough for transport. I need to get her ship-side PFQ or she's gonna go into a full-on crash on me."

...Talk about stating the fraggin' obvious...[/color]

It was bad enough that the femme had offlined as a result of Fear acting up and now he was being quizzed on what the hold up was?

Working quickly, the medic transformed and unloaded his field stretcher. While he couldn't transport patients, he did have provision for moving them around and out of immediate physical danger. Returning to his mech mode, Jumpstart carefully aligned the carrier with Silentsong's still form and eased it beneath her, executing a text-book lift. Standing as the safety restraints latched into place around her, he looked to Tecton for confirmation that everything was in readiness regarding his earlier question and started heading toward the boarding ramp.

Aegis broke her holding pattern as Laser ascended, dipping a wing in acknowledgement and executing a half roll to put her on an adjacent flight path to dark jet as she headed to the appointed RV at 1.6k. A weakness of her build precluded her from making the higher altitudes he was built for, her flight ceiling was in fact 10k, beyond that she'd fall prey to ice with disastrous consequences. This would be a low altitude sweep ahead of the transport though.

Dropping back into her customary affable mannerisms, she once again opened a channel to her wingmate:

"I'll do my best to keep pace with you. Flight ceiling is 10k; air-speed, just shy of mach 1. I appreciate you'll burn more keeping to something I can manage, I'll square up with you once we have means to. - Do we have a preferred search pattern or is it just all-ahead and call in any hot spots?"[/color]
