Cutlass smiles at Beam offering her a hand up from where she fell. "I think the three of us are a perfect team already." He grins and listening to Laser describe what the teams would be up against he leans the gunblade against his shoulder. "The best way to be unexpected, follow only a very loose plan and think on your feet. React purely on instinct to make the best of the situation. It's what I always do and it hasn't let me down yet. Oh I'll be needing to increase my energon supplies... be right back..." He runs off down to the cargo hold and starts opening a few of his crates taking out more than enough of the bottles and stashing them about in various hidden compartments in his armor. Filling every last space he can on himself he carries up a few of the bottles back to the bridge. "Always good to have a bottle on yer, I'll leave these on the table if anyone wants one."
Both Volca and Tecton snap to attention upon hearing that they would not be fighting along side each other.
Tecton looks down at her and whispers. "I'm sure we'll both be fine."
Volca whispers in return. "I know I'll be fine it's you I'm worried about... You've only got that EMP blaster and sword."
Tecton just smiles as he steps forward to speak to Towreck. "So where are these extra weapons? I feel I'll be needing far more than an EMP blaster and a sword."
As Tecton steps away from her, Volca transforms one arm then the other into the plasma cannons giving them both a fair inspection. She then turns one arm back and unsheathes the sword on her back pointing it at the floor. "I guess I'm ready for battle."
The ship politely bleeps to gain the attention of the crew and passengers, and the hologram appears. "I have finished repairs and can confirm that there are life signs within close proximity to the ship, I am however prevented from giving further information due to interference from the storm." The Bloodrust pauses as it scans it's self to make sure all systems are operational. "All systems are repaired, the drones are repairing the hull as we speak. I will be able to provide combat support if necessary." The ship's hologram disappears as it prepares it's own defenses.

Laser obviously liked Silentsong's contribution to the plan better than Cutlass's....
"Beam," he said to her after he had gone, "If you feel as if you are in danger, I will come and find you."
Beam shook her head. "If I die, it'll be totally worth it." She stared after Cutlass dreamily.
Laser sighed and continued with his briefing. "An insightful point, Silentsong. However there these are the Thetacons. There IS no unexpected point of attack or advantage. Once we step inside, we belong to them. We won't be killed immediately, however. Valk is known to be an arrogant, sadistic and psychotic son of a bitch. He 'plays with his food'. If we can overcome whatever he throws at us, we'll eventually catch up to him....or we'll use the Decepticons as a buffer..."
************
Spironok stepped out into the desert, the sand and wind nearly blowing him over from the force of the storm. With a low hiss, he sank into the ground, burrowing through and following the scent of prey....
"Engineer 1 this is Redcap checking in."
"...Roger that Redcap, still not picking up any lifeforms out of the ship yet."
"Uhhh okay ten four."
Redcap sat for a minute, then thought about another question. "Hey Engineer 1, come in."
"....kssssshhhhhhh..."
"Dammit. Engineer 1? Engineer? Must be storm interference, this is getting rough. Engineer 2 come in!"
Engineer 2 responded. "Roooger. No activity yet."
"Can you give me an estimation of firepower?"
"......kshhhhhhhhhh....."
"Engineer 2! Hello?"
"kkshhhhh...."
Redcap was getting uncomfortable now. Something was wrong, very, very wrong. "Bluecap can you reach Engineer's one and two?"
"Negative Red we cannot I repeat we cannot contact the engineers. I'm sending a squad out their now to check it out, keep tabs on 'em."
"Copy."
The squad leader of the small team of privateers floored about nervously as he lead the 5 others through the storm. "Damn there's a lot of sand..." He finally reached the spot of Engineer 2's station, finding it ransacked and abused. "What the hell happened here? Captains is it possible for the storm to take someone away? The engineer is not here and his station has been destroyed."
"Ummm negative Squad Leader. Not likely. Keep checking."
The soldier stooped down. "No signs of struggle here...if it wasn't for the destroyed equipment, I'd swear he was never here...It's almost like--the ground swallowed him..." He looked up at the machine and noticed a gel-like substance pasted to it, as well as a massive slash in the system.
Suddenly he turned around.
Spironok was halfway out of the ground, the venomous substance oozing from it's fangs and the corners of its mouth. The long skeletal blade like arms were nearly surrounding the soldier in basket formation, ready to sweep him underground. The four green eyes blinked in hunger as shock as it was discovered. The soldier stumbled backwards in horror, his weapon going off. "OH SHIT!"
"SHREEEEEEEEE" Was Spironok's ear splitting reply, revealing his mouth tunnel with rows and rows of spinning teeth.
*********************
Laser heard the gunshots and screams of the soldiers. "Spironok has been compromised. We need to move now!"

Towreck nodded, grabbing his weapons and loading them. "To the ones who dont have a weapon or need a better one, there's a pile on the table, take what you need but leave some for the others." Towreck said to everyone, as he walked over to the team he was assigned to, ready to go

Vibro nodded as he went over to the table to take a look at the weapons. There were some grenades, rocket launchers and some other stuff. Taking only the emp grenades, he went over to his team to see who was ready. Towreck was the first one to be ready. That's good, it was time to get going since spironok was found and is engaging the enemy. Looking at Laser, he nodded in agreement.
"There is no going back now. The teams that are formed were made in case our transmission is screwed up. They would at least have people that they can trust on."
Looking to the rest of the autobots then to Team Beta
"Let me know when your ready Jumpstart and Carmana."

OOC Was fallowing orders if you want me to change the post i will.
Shortwave listened to the comotion from her hideing spot. honestly stowing away was her only option? she didn't think a ship full of soldiers would have need of a librarian especialy one who had lost the data files of over 9000 enteries.
but she was determined to join the war now the decepticons had in her mind destroyed Cybertrons past she was dammed if its future was going to suffer the same fate.
But buy the sounds of whatever was going on outside of the little green bots cramped hiding space thay could use all the help thay could get.
"Well Mag..Shortwave looks like its now or never time to see if your Aytobot material. " She said kicking open the vent she had secreted her small fraim into.
"That beeing said i can allways be exicuted." She admitted to her self and looking up the other Cybertronians arround her. " Librarian firstclass Magna.. Shortwave reporting for deuty.. Sirs. I'm suposed to say that aren't i? " She anounced casualy as she partialy fell from her vent graiting and getting stuck half way.

Silentsong was surprised to see a small green bot emerge from the vent nearby, she was even more surprised to hear that the small bot was a librarian. Soon however, Silentsong forgot about Shortwave as she began to feel weak from being up and about so much. The Energon loss that Silentsong had suffered was still affecting her, she didn't know why, but she did know that she couldn't go into battle like this without putting everyone else at risk. Silentsong shook her head to try and clear her thoughts so that she could tell her teammates what was going on. Before Silentsong could do anything, the ground came up to meet her and everything went black. Silentsong had blacked out because of her previous loss of Energon.

((OOC: You don't have to edit as you can see I've thought of a way it will fit.))
"Now what do we have here?" Cutlass jumps up onto a chair and drags the green fem out of the vent. "A fem stowaway..." He keeps his grip on her wrist. "I han't a clue how you got on board without the ship's sensors detecting you, and I've half a mind to lock you in one of the rooms till I can work out what to do with you..." He looks down at her face and sighs. "Who am I kidding I couldn't hurt a lady.
Tecton runs over to where Silentsong collapsed. "I'll get her down to the medical bay. I'll leave a drone with her in case she wakes up while we're away." He carefully lifts her up and heads to the medical bay.
"Must still be feeling it from earlier, at least she'll be safe here. But now our team is down one." He looks down at the small green fem and finally lets go of her arm. "So I guess that means you're going to be with us." He smiles at Shortwave.
Volca looks at the ship's sensory displays in an attempt to understand how the fem got past the sensors. She sighs when she notices the gap in the ship's sensory range. She mutters her findings under her breath. "It appears that the sensors did pick up on her, but lost her when she entered the ventilation. I guess Tecton didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to try to crawl in there. No doubt he'll correct that later." She stands up and joins her team waiting to leave.
In the medical bay Tecton sets up some monitoring equipment, and activates one of the drones. "There doesn't appear to be anything physically wrong with her, she's just exhausted from the energon loss. Keep an eye on her and don't let her leave the ship until she has actually recovered." He leaves and lets the drone sit next to her watching the screen.
Running back to the bridge he quickly picks up an energon pistol from the weapon pile. He also picks up one of the bottles of energon before moving over to his waiting team mates.
Cutlass stands over at the controls. "Well the sensors and defenses seem to be online. The Bloodrust will defend herself and help us in the fight if need be. Speaking of which..." He turns to Shortwave. "I hope you're well armed Miss, and unless you want to get shot at by the ship, I'm going to be extremely trusting and let you add your details to the ship's databank. Just enter and speak your name. If you prove that you can be trusted you'll be able to add other info later." He moves aside to let her enter her details into the screen and faces Beam. "You ready to leave Beam?"

ooc thanks i was half expesting to find her shot. would have been the shortest rp ever.
"I'm sorry to cause a fuss but it was sort of the only way i could get abbord. i realy want to help fight the Decepticons." The tiny bot meekly admitted. this was terrifying she was surrounded buy people who were talkin to her people didn't talk to her.. well not in real life anyway.
Then she heard the word weapons.
" I have upgraded my self to be more usefull and down loaded as much data as i could about warefair. but i have to admitt the library dosn't call for many fire fights." She admitted.. oh Primus i'm digging a hole thay are going to think i'm useless. she panicked to her self.
She mad her way to the data terminal. "Hi in Mag.. no Shortwave librarian 1st class Iacon centeral library data storage section. She didnt know what else to say.

Carmana had just sat and watched the whole time, he stood up and followed towreck. "Hey towreck, any chance my pistol will be done before we leave? if not that's fine, i can just use my blades." He spoke in a low whisper, he was still nervous about the other autobots' thoughts about him, after the indecent and all.

Beam narrowed her eyes at this newcomer. "What in the hell....?" She entered a 30 second state of confusion, trying to calculate how in the world Shortwave could have stowed her ass away based on how advanced the ship was and how much time she had been in there. Realizing that there was entirely no reasoning for it, she let it go and smiled cheaply. "Heh. Hi."
She had liked being the short adorable one. Or Adorkable. But now it looked like Shortwave was going to give her a run for her money. And she was getting all the attention from Cutlass--
"OKAY!! Yep! We all love each other. Now let's get up outta here before they turn Spironok F-U-B-A-R and we all get blown up. And that would suck. Because that would mean lil shorty here hitched a ride just to die and that Silentsong's hot flashes would be in vain." She jumped up onto Cutlass's shoulder. "For um, recon purposes and uh...extra protection...reasoning calls I must sit up here. I may occasionally grab your shoulders and uh...rub them to make sure you are staying loose." She shrugged. "It's purely medical."
She grinned as she saw Carmana head up to Towreck. She couldn't here what he was saying...but she had a pretty good idea.
*******************
Laser didn't know anything about Shortwave or whatever had transpired after Spironok was comprimised. All he was concerned about was getting out there to save his comrade, and begin the mission Vibro ordered him to do. So he was already heading out. "Tecton, Watertight! On me! Aegis come in...we will be exiting soon. I need status updates...as well as your callsign..." As a Guardian, Laser was used to operating with callsigns, usernames or nicknames squad members used to keep people in the dark. His most recent, for example, was Angel of Death, or Angel, for short. Of course this method wasn't necessary, and if Aegis preferred to bypass the callsign and be addressed by her actual name, he wouldn't mind.
