Fear stood quietly as he heard the others' evaluations of him. He found their stories regarding spies and defectors interesting, albeit irrelevant to the situation they now found themselves in. He laid his sword and assault rifle on the ground to stretch his arms and address the others in front of him.
Has anyone here ever felt what it's like to have your mind taken from you? Your memories, identity, even your name? There's nothing more humiliating than that. For those who think I may be a traitor, I can only ask you one thing. Would the Decepticons risk attacking the autobots if they already had someone on the inside? No. They attacked you because I was there with you. And for that I apologize.
However, my entire life was stolen from me. I stand here before you all not to offer you my services, but to beg you for yours. I can give you their plans regarding the allspark, but all I ask in return is that you let me go with you. Let me join you for when you cross paths with the Decepticons again. For I have a plan that you might find interesting.
What you are seeing now is not actually me, but a clone. A Shadow Ion clone. A dark, amorphous substance developed by one of Cybertron's top scientists. It has the ability to shape and reform at its users command, like a water moving in an out of different glasses. I haven't inhabited my real body since the moment I left the Decepticons, as I found my computer had stored a sample of this substance within its hard drives. I initially did this as a precaution, of course.
However, on my journey to your ship, I read up on this planets geological history. Now, before I tell you what I'm planning, keep in mind that I am not an autobot nor do I play by autobot's rules. I only know how to do what needs to be done so hear me out. On this continent is a volcano the native species refer to as "Yellowstone". It is roughly 10,000 years away from detonating and when it does it will make most of the planet uninhabitable by humans...but not for us. Not if we know to avoid the initial eruption.
I am suggesting that we try to converge with the Decepticons near this Yellowstone. When we're all there, you evacuate your people through some means of teleportation leaving me behind. I will sacrifice myself by flooding the volcano with the Shadow Ion, causing it to erupt sooner than it will naturally. This will instantly kill all of the remaining Decepticons and nearly wipe out the entire human population. Afterwards, you can take over what's left of this world and rebuild Cybertron here.
I hope you don't assume these humans deserve to live either. As we speak they have already been seduced by the Decepticons and believe all of you are enemies. They are a lost cause. Since I am essentially your prisoner, I will let you decide if this is a plan worth discussing amongst yourselves. But please keep in mind that if I get the chance, I will insure it will at least be attempted.

Aboard a distant space yacht, a lone stasis pod releases it's occupant and deactivates. "Oh great," Ironshot grumbles as he comes out of stasis to the sight of numerous status alarms indicating the Exile's Wings is near total destruction due to either a pirate attack or autopilot errors inside an asteroid field. Before he can check the ship's supply of energon for a non existent refill, the ship passes through a wormhole directly into an unknown planet's atmosphere and on a course to hit a Cybertronian ship if it doesn't disintegrate first. Transforming into his more durable alt form with a portion of his remaining energon, Ironshot glances off the top of the larger ship just as the Exile's Wings finishes disintegrating. Coming to an undercarriage bruising stop a few yards from the ship, he then shuts down all non vital systems while remaining in hover tank mode to preserve energon while he waits for the ship's occupants to investigate his arrival. I hope these guys are Autobots or pirates, he thinks to himself despite his emblem having worn off in the course of his many years in exile. A quick self diagnostic suggests that the crash had only given him a few large scratches on his legs and considerable abrasive damage to the same. A more critical problem was his energon levels since he had to rely on the supply aboard the Exile's Wings and whatever small amount he could manufacture from other energy sources during his exile and his supply had dropped dangerously low.

"I'm on it." Steamwright replied, heading right for the more volatile-looking core at the back of the room. As he tried to extract it, he encountered a lot of resistance. It was exceedingly tight, and it took all of his strength to move it just a micron. As he pulled the core out, a jet of that corrosive green vapour shot out of the core, right for his face. He quickly moved out of the way, letting the vapour stream away from him. Once the stream had subsided, he pulled the core out even further. It was a struggle, but he finally managed to extract it.

Black Hole glared at Setum. "Your plan is too violent and cruel! The humans have done nothing wrong! So why kill them!? You're just as cruel as a Decepticon! And 'taking over' is what Decepticons do, not Autobots!" Black Hole was surprised at herself as she yelled at Setum and didn't feel guilty about it. It was also sick that an ex-con could even suggest that to Autobots in the first place.

((I'm guessing that Blackhole is on the bridge?))
-Bridge:
"That's what these things are?" Astrinal asked, hearing Blackhole's remark about 'cons and such. "Because there not very nice, there shooting missiles and bullets at me. Who knows what else they have planned. GAH!" The sound of an explosion is heard, but the signal is quickly regained. "Well, whatever air forces your bringing, get them here quick! I can't hold up for much longer!"

Turbojet was waiting for something good to happen. He patches through a comm link to Astrinal as soon he heard the explosion. "Hey Astrinal! This Turbojet I am heading there now. Just hang tight ok I'll get the heat off you." Turbo as usual acts without asking and runs off to the hangar bay then transforms into his jet mode: p1.pichost.me/640/23/1463282.jpgOnce he transformed Turbojet kicked in his boosters immediately making a echoing thunderous noise in the process. As soon as Turbojet was up in the skies he uploads Astrinal's current location then follows it to make sure he goes the right way. (Give or take a good amount of minutes or hour IDK) Eventually Turbojet found himself in a far reaching land of desert which a very large smoke could from a past explosion off in a distance somewhere. Turbo finds two smaller smoke trails from burning jets that seemed to have crash landed. All this but, no Astrinal. Turbojet fearing the worst tried to call in again to reassure himself. "Astrinal!...are you there? I arrived; where are you?!" |

-Skies:
Astrinal was cloaked, mostly to avoid any unwanted trouble to anyone's naked optic or eye. She already suffered from many sword wounds, and her left engine almost out. She was getting beaten up, another large missile, hell, even a bomb would knock her out of the sky. Which would leave her stuck on the ground! "I'm cloaked, you won't be able to see me with your optics." she responds to Turbojet. "Besides, You would reason why once you say the condition I'm in." It was simple, Astrinal was sending a rather hidden message: I'm hurt. Astrinal had finally noticed the bomber ship in the distance, but she didn't know it was a bomber.
"Do you see that? There's a huge plane over there?! That's what I'm worrying about.."

Turbojet was relieved that Astrinal is in fact still online. However even so he could tell something was up. Whatever happened before Turbo got here must have caused something that would make Astrinal cloak to stay unseen. Unlucky for Turbojet the very femmebot in question had pointed out a large plane somewhere high in the sky sort of close to Turbo's current position.
As soon as Turbojet saw it he felt a very uneasy as to why it was there. In any case they could be just searching for Astrinal trying to finish her off. However wouldn't many jet fighters be better off for such a task? It couldn't be those options so what was this bomber plane here for? It was just; soaring in the sky. As if in wait;...as if to expect something;....something that could already have been used.
Turbojet kept his rushing nerves down but, he instantly realized what was really going on. That bomber plane was preparing to fire who knows what on Astrinal regardless if they know her exact position or not. In the worst case senario it already did launch such a thing. Turbojet immediately turned his attention back at the comm link in order to alert Astrinal who could possibly be close to being blown into bits at any second. "Astrinal where ever you are you need to leave now! That plane isn't just some random airline it is a specialized bomber plane. That thing could have already shot something highly dangerous by now we need to get you out of here! I can try to distract that thing but, you just worry about getting to a safe distance so I can tend to whatever injuries you may have. Go now...MOVE!" Turbojet kicked in his after burners as soon as he finished talking then made a quick corkscrew turn towards the bomber plane. Once he got in range of the large air vehicle he started to fire his jet mode's chain gun hoping he could get their attention.

((I just checked previous post and I think Rexacon already sent to bomb towards her  ))-Skies: That's when Astrinal saw the glowing light in the distance, and something large and silver coming. "What is that- OH MY GOSH!" It was a nuke, and Astrinal did anything but stay in place. In a flash, Astrinal's appearance would materialize flying right past Turbojet at the speed of what would been light. Then a small ring of cloud was left as Astrinal took off for her life. However, Turbo could have easily seen the multiple gun shots, scorch marks, and other wounds blind as day. "If you were smart, YOU'D RUN TO!" Astrinal shrieks, saying in shock 'It's a nuke!'

As soon as he changed directions Astrinal blasted right past him. Sadly his hunch was correct that she was hurt but, the fact is that what she was running from is what he feared would be the situation. Out of all the times he had to get into something why is that something a nuke?! "For get distractions I'm following you! We can deal with this scrap later." Turbojet launched 4 missiles at the bomber plane just to be safe then flew off in the direction Astrinal went.
*On the autobot ship*
Jacknife stood listened in on everything that was going around. BlackHole's outburst on Setum was understandable. His idea of a comprimise to this war was way out of question. Then as soon as Turbojet left Jackie sat back thinking about the situation at hand. At this point lots of critical things were happening all at once which doesn't make deciding on anything easy. She would be able to stop the nuke but, at this time it would be too late for her to try to drive all the way there before it explodes.
