In the gloom caused by the thick haze whipped up by dust and wind, Iris headed for the nearest silhouette looming up in the distance. On approach, she realized it was not a building...
"Laser, I am less than 5 kliks from your position," she radioed. The way Laser's optics glowed through the dust... wow. "May I request a briefing?"

"We've come to retrieve the All-Spark...our comrades are inside waging battle against the Thetacons, the defilers of our history and the enemies of the future. Their leader, Valkyrie, knows all. Everything in existence, including the past, what is the present, and of course a bit of what is to come. EXCEPT you. This is why you have been summoned, my child. If Valk plays dirty, only a Prime can get past his vile barriers..."
Laser reloaded his mighty RPG cannon.
"The Decepticons have a headstart....but they don't have a Prime. You must hurry, Iris. The fate of our comrades...and the world, may very well depend on you...."

Wow, that was... really vague. Iris wasn't sure what to make of the ancient Guardian's response, but maybe he was just used to speaking that way? Like, if somebody had asked him for directions, he probably would have said something like, 'Go now to the red sign and make thee a left turning on the waning of the second moon before the siege of traffic wages war upon the hour, hurry while the sands of time are fleeting' or something... like that.
Iris quickly snapped out of her reverie. "Acknowledged, ancient one," she replied promptly. Oh slag, she might have offended him with that title... but then again, he was old. Like, super-old. "Valkyrie is the name of the target? Very well. I shall seek him immediately."
And with that, Iris powered past the Guardian and blasted her way into through the Temple entrance, following the pathway her Autobot comrades had already carved out for her.

Laser watched in disbelief as Iris completely blew past him, leaving him standing outside like he wasn't even there. He placed his face into his palm, sighing. "Can nothing go right?"
Beep, Beep Beep
Looking on his monitor, he detected the Kalisian Commander trying to contact him. He accepted the call. "Commander, I was just thinking about you. What has it been...50,000 years?"
"Have you met her yet?"
"...No."
"What?! What do you--"
"By that I mean I have not spoken with her face to face....she seems...confused."
"Laser, you must understand--"
"--But I don't. I have a lot of lives on the line here..."
"--But if you gave me a minute--"
"--I was specifically told she would be ready, an unmatched soldier--"
"LASER! Please! She's been in a cage for years! Under our supervision, in our blissful world. She needs only time to adjust."
Laser growled. "She needs to find that time somewhere else then. There is no time for adjusting here. I must go. I shall speak to you in another 50,000 years...or whenever Iris dies." Shutting off the transmission, he picked up his brother, Climax, on the other line.
"Climax."
"Laser! How are you, brother?"
"Grand."
"A little disappointed in the aspiring leader?"
"I'll not relent. Not yet."
"She just needs to slow down."
"...Coming from you?"
He entered the vault...

Towreck nodded, "Don't mention it, I try and see to it that whenever my Teammates need help, I will step forward and help them." And after saying that, Towreck finished setting his Energon Cannon up, and transformed into his vehicle form. Giving his engine a good rev, he signaled to Jumpstart. "Lets get going, the sooner we get out of this Slagstorm, the better." He commented [/color] Jumpstart managed to raise a dark chuckle over comm as he headed for the doors to the outside world, "I gotta hope this whole crazy-aft 'quest' idea's worth it, 'cos somethin' tells me we're in for heavy casualties on this one. - I'll do what I can to minimise how many've those end up as fatalities, but I ain't makin' any promises."[/color] Setting a steady pace, the medic headed back toward the ship, scanners online for any approaching hostiles. There was precious little he could do about them in this situation though and that was precisely why he'd asked for an escort. Fortunately for the two, there was an 'eye in the sky' in the form of Aegis. Excusing herself from Ironstar's company as the medic's marker came into her active scanning field, the femme shadowed the pair on high to ensure their safe passage back to the ship. |

Carmana coughed as he was escorted to the ship, he sighed. "Guys...I...I'm sorry I let this happen to me...it's all my fault...if there is anyway i can make it up to you guys...just...just let me know...oh and if you guys want, I can still do one thing without hurting myself, it can get us to the ship faster...teleportation trip anyone?" He chuckled weakly and it turned into a cough. He sighed behind his face plate

"Are your audio receptors glitchin' or what, mech?"[/color] Jumpstart sounded incredulous, "Firstly I told you t' shut the frag up an' secondly you try any fraggin' fancy teleportin' slag an' you'll end up findin' the slaggin' Allspark the hard way. - Seriously, were you at the back've the fraggin' line when they were handin' out common sense upgrades or what...you just took a fraggin' blade through the main circuitry panellin', mech?! There is absolutely no way I'm lettin' you try an' teleport us anywhere. Primus, I ask ya! We'll get t' the ship when we get there an' if I want your two-chip, glitched out opinion in the mean time, I'll fraggin' well give it to ya. Clear?!"[/color]

Towreck just rode along in silence, laughing quietly to himself at the earful Carmana had just got from Jumper. 'Note to self, don't piss of the medic...' Towreck thought, as he scanned the horizon ahead, keeping sure that all was well as they made their way to the ship

Carmana sighed as he got a chewing out from the good doctor, he put his good hand to the side of his head and rolled his optics. "I only offered *cough* to teleport us *sputter* because he didn't even scratch *wheeze* my teleportation matrix, or anything attached to it actually...so it is working at 100%, thank you very much..." he then went silent, trying to conserve vital energon.
------
Grandslam was still watching the temple from his ship, he frowned as he saw the medic take Carmana away, he still had a soft spot for him. He turned his attention back to the other bots. "Hmm...Carmana is out of the game for good it seems, (OOC: shows how much he knows about the Autobots' top medic...I'm afraid of what Jump would do to Grandslam actually), so now who do I slam? Hm......the leader of the group seemed pretty upset when Carmana went down...he is next." with that he jumped and landed on top of the temple, he used his hammer to bust a whole in the ceiling, he jumped through it and landed in front of vibro.

Vibro looked as Jumpstart and Towreck went back to the ship. Turning back to the entrance of the temple, Vibro stood back as Grandslam made his appearance. Well if it isn't the con that did the sneak attack, saved him the trouble of looking for him. Vibro listened back at Carmana warning, but the position he was in..it didn't look like he had a choice. Arming his cannon, Vibro pointed at Grandslam and backed up a bit.
"So your this Grandslam, Carmana told me about. What made you decide to work for the decepticons?"
