I'm gonna go back down planetside and try and find the Doc.. Anyone wanna come? * Crosscut is wakened by a beeping coming from an undisclosed location on him [Comm] No can do, buckaroo. I've got uh.. work to do? * Tint taps the panel on the wall. * Splitwit walks into the Armory for the first time and looks at all the pretty guns. * Waitstate walks into the medibrig from the observation partition Ngh.... huh? [comm] Is this thing even on? Primus, I have no idea what I'm doing... Heeheeheee... Hellfire, I take it? Heh, you call this the Freedom but you give us no freedom at all. That would be correct, Waitstate I'm restraining YOU. Diablo is simply an unfortunate victim * Crosscut flips a panel opened on his arm and looks at the display * Sunspot looks up at the comm and turns to Thrashmane. "You get that?" [comm] Well, no Splitwit...anyone else? Can anyone even HEAR this? I feel like I'm talking to myself *snores* *opens one eye* Say what? * Crosscut starts to grin, then realizes the situation he's in and slumps down The comms that just came through from Tint. This better work, Soviet.... Do we have to? * Tint sighs and leans on the wall across from the comm. I'm quite comfy here. [comm] Fine. I'll go alone. I guess we don't... * Roadkill can't hear any comms over the loud music blaring thru the rec area. * Tint heads to the shuttlebay. * Crosscut leans back in his cell and closes his optics, waiting. He should have made sure that he got rid of me properly if he didn't want.. * Diablo takes over control ... ignore him * DSS_Nimitz (Decepticon Star Ship) drops out of foldspace not very far from the Freedom. I've seen enough movies to recognize that look. Welcome back Diablo. You know I didn't want to do this unless I had to... * Tint remembers something and heads back to the obs deck. * Splitwit picks up various shotguns and drools over them I love this job.. I told you before, and I'm telling you again now that I was more than happy to leave here With Hellfire as powerful as he is, I didn't want to let him loose on the universe. He's tried to kill us before already * DSS_Nimitz stops and turns towards the Freedom * Lifeblood researches. * Sunspot plays with the li'l dragonbot. * I can see your concern. I haven't pushed that body to its limits in combat. He didn't either...luckily for all of you * DSS_Nimitz launches a small, undetailed cylinder at the Freedom, which moves quite slowly through space * Sunspot gets up and moves a little closer to the couch. I can control him though * Roadkill continues to lounge about in the rec area Tell me your honest tactical opinion. How much damage could Hellfire do now, if in control? * Tint enters the obs deck. *The cylinder slows to a halt fifty meters from the hull, and splits in half* [com] Waitstate, the decepticon Striker's craft, Nimizt has dropped from fold space and launched a something towards us. * The Freedom's navigational deflectors snap online, and begin pushing the foreign object away * Sunspot looks up and smiles a bit at Tint. * A TRP-15 torpedo drone, already in robot mode, emerges from the cylinder and is immediatly repulsed by the deflectors Slag, red alert. I'll be up there ASAP Plenty, if he had the things that he wanted [com] It was a torpedo drone * Lightning puts the ship on red alert * Sunspot pokes Thrashy. Hey...Spots. How are you? Gn? we'll finish this later It's ok, if he wants to sleep he can. * Waitstate exits the medibrig and secures the doors, then goes to the bridge He sleeps too much! Maybe he has nothing better to do. * Roadkill only just notices the red alert above his music. "Aah crap..." * The drone fires the thrusters on its legs and overcomes the deflectors push, soaring toward an airlock There's a reason for that, hon. *grins* * The blast sheilds around the obs decks close and the shields come online * The drone makes it inside the shields I'm sure it's tiring keeping up with me all the time, kitty. * Roadkill turns his music off and gets out of his beanbag * Sunspot looks up at the scary alarm noises. [comm] Roadkill t'bridge, what's the sitch? * The Freedom's computer sounds a security alert. * Lightning fires the hull mounted weaponary at the drone * A trio of gigantic claws extend from the arms (half of the front make each hand) and the drone rips through the airlock, making it inside * Chameleon drops from the plaza ceiling and grabs his meltas "Intruder alert on deck 8" * DSS_Nimitz launches two waves of 5 Torp' Drones each at the Freedom.

There's scary alarm sounds! * Roadkill reaches deck 8 and catches up with Chameleon * The Torpedo Drone smashes a pair of floor-mounted autoblasters and proceeds to wreak havoc on the inside Ummm. I guess the Doc's gonna have to sit on the dirtball a bit longer. Lightning, report! * DSS_Nimitz's prow splits in half Cham! Y'know what's happenin'? * Sunspot gets all panicky. drone is in side the ship, others are surrounding us * Chameleon has two spiderbots leave his arm compartment No idea at all Target the Nimitz.

Away. Like, fast.. * Roadkill and Cham head for where the drone inside is making trouble * Sunspot looks over at Tint and nods. * Soviet, Winter, and five more Torpedo Drones fly towards the Freedom in Jet and Torpedo modes, respectivly* * Chameleon starts to charge his meltas * Twilight appears from around a corner near Cham and 'killer, and goes along with them silently * The T/D flies down the hallway and uppercuts Chameleon So...um.

I.... don't know. heh, try telling those two spiderbots that. they're gonna explode themselves oy, great. * Cirrus banks hard away from the ship * Arashi moves back.* "Any ideas you guys?"

"Thrashy, what's going on?" Heh, that works * Maximum-Magnum smashes it through a nearby door and continues pushing it towards the airlock As long as it doesn't decide to explode in his face, anyway. * Cirrus positions the ship for a full on DEM strike We're under attack... * Two of the five Torpedo Drones smash into the shields, giving Soviet, Winter, and Shotlock enough of an opening to jet through them and break into the ship * Sunspot looks at Tint with great big scared eyes.

Y'think they've gave us enough information already? * Twilight gets to the airlock and tfs, then quickly heads out to Maxy and starts blasting at the ice HQ's a bunch of morons; they think they can give us any report they've got lying around and expect us to learn from it * Shotlock talks as he kicks at Lilwall * Ghost-Stlaker puts her gaussflayer away, gets her stakelauncher and fires it Shotlock and Soviet * Soviet takes a stake to the shoulder, then rips it out and tosses it aside Heh, not like y'seem smart enough t'learn anything anyway... *continues firing at Shotlock, knocking him back down the corridor more* Obviously, *grabs the leg, letting shotlock fall* maybe you should work on your research skills before jumping to the conclusion we could be bothered to rule the universe * Waitstate finishes off the surrounding torpedo drones and begins opening brief, small holes in the shields to fire antimatter charges through Always seekers just asking to get put down Shotlock! Cease firing.... * Winter appears right outside the Medbay door... Let's face it, whats to rule anyway, a whole lotta empty space, yay You have one of us. So...who ARE the Strikers, then?

Seems Winter has fall-en, he won't be springing into action * Scamp holds a gun to Winter We're just as clueless as you * Roadkill hits the wall and collapses at the bottom with a hole in his chest armor, then groans and starts to get back up. Speak for yourself * Soviet fires his feet-mounted thrusters and streaks towards Lilwall, catching his stomach with his fist and smashing him into the wall before resuming his quest for the brig * Sunspot considers the possibility of seeing what's going on, since it doesn't seem to be everyone dying. * Admiral-Lilwall gets up and continues giving chase * Sunspot peeks out, overcoming the urge to hide again when she sees Winter.

I'd LIKE to know. All I DO know is that you've attacked MY ship. Now...answers? Doubtful, intruder * Soviet bears the fire and grabs Crosscut, and escapes out the door only to meet up with Lilwall again * Waitstate locks on with the omnidirectional pulse arrays and pummels the Nimitz with light fire You don't give up, do you? * Admiral-Lilwall arrives with Ghost Hi! *uppercuts soviet * Soviet falls to the ground, lands on his back Want to meet the wall again, Crosscut? *Fires* * Crosscut is still dazed * Admiral-Lilwall grabs Soviet by the leg and swings him into the wall * Soviet aims his feet at Lilwall, fires his jets, and slams him into the opposite wall * Twilight finally manages to blast the ice off of Magnum * Admiral-Lilwall hits the wall Vape his mind, Ghost * Soviet shoots Ghost Stalker, grabs Crosscut again, and continues towards the airlock again *to Maxy* Come on, I believe you might be needed aboard the ship. You're outnumbered Winter * Ghost-Stalker is knocked backwards * Magnum looks off in the distance "One moment..." Shove me in that direction, will you? * Admiral-Lilwall gets up and follows with Cuffs and Hitchhike * Twilight shoves Maxy in the indicated direction * Roadkill continues to duel with Shotlock. * Ghost-Stalker recovers and follows Lil and the others, drawing the neural shredder * Soviet blazes down the hallways as fast as possible, Shotlock continuing when they reach him [com] Waitstate, they're heading out again, seal off escape route with some force fields or asomething? * Tint keeps his gun on Winter, waiting for an answer. [comm] gotcha. sealing bulkheads now I think.... * Soviet , Crosscut, and Shotlock fly out the airlock at top speed, just as the bulkhead slams shut on Crosscuts leg and rips it off *snarling* I'm screwed... * Lightning scrapes the side of the nimitz kinda badly with an antimatter burst * Sunspot watches the standoff with big scarded eyes. * Tint cocks his head to the side. * Nimitz fires as many Torpedo Drones as possible at the Freedom, drastically weakinging the shields until they're depleted * Roadkill nearly runs into a bulkhead, then slams his fist against it in frustration * Lightning continues to badly weaken the enemy ship as well * Winter suddenly fires his ice-blasters straight down and smashes through the floor * Twilight flies near Maxy, wondering what he's up to * Winter continues to drop through floor after floor our shields are out * Tint blinks. * Chameleon makes himself visible and follows after Winter * Sunspot shrieks at the sudden motion and hides again. ...NO! Everybody grab onto something secure, FAST! Launch all interceptor drones * Lightning launches them all Winter's gonna blast right through the hull...we're gonna have a breach... * Winter finally breaks through the hull and speeds towards Nimitz, laughing insanely * Drill_Master latches onto a computer console * Soviet and co. smash through the final bulkhead and into space again, heading for Nimitz * Twilight spots the escaping Strikers and blasts after them, weapons blazing [Interceptor Drones lock on to incoming fire and take it before it can hit the ship] * Chameleon tfs to fighter mode and fires melta blasts looks like we don't need to be so careful with the missles. Rapid fire, Mr. Lightning! * Nimitz reforms it's front section into ship-mode and picks up Winter, Crosscut, Shotlock, and Crosscut (minus a leg) * Tint grabs onto a medtable. * DSS_Nimitz hails Freedom as it moves to escape * Twilight strafes at the Nimitz, trying to aim for already-weakened spots * Waitstate answers the hail, but has Lightning keep firing [comm] Medbay to bridge, we've got a hull breach down here...through...uh...lots of floors. Tell me there's something you can do about this.. * Maximum-Magnum drifts through space, still partly attached to the Torpedo Drone. [com] force fields are already in place * Tint feels the vacuum rush dying down appropriately. * Admiral-Lilwall moves outside the Freedom via the new holes and shifts to fighter form, closing in on Magnum [comm] ...so they are. * Shotlock appears on the screen, in the pilot/gunners station, with Soviet in a chair behind him and no other Strikers to be seen "How ya doin, Mr. State?" * Shotlock waves * Twilight flies back to Maxy and Lil * Maximum-Magnum slowly smiles.... and then the Torpedo Drone detonates [comm] *grim* Never better. Yourself? * Lightning causes another round of damage to the nimitz, making it rock, the image on screen moving accoridingly Mmm, I'm making good. Ta! What the -- *barely avoids the worst of the torp drone explosion* Eh, now what? * DSS_Nimitz leaps back into foldspace, competly disappearing Can we follow? * Chameleon flys back into the freedom * Sunspot whimpers some more in her hiding place. ...is everybody ok? * Thrashmane goes over to Sunny, who's curled up in a corner "Are... are you okay?" *whimper* * Thrashmane isn't too good at this sort of thing Well... um, if it's any help he didn't seem to interested in you? * Tint pulls himself back up into the medbay, and then looks down at the holes through all the lower decks into space. * Sunspot looks up. * Thrashmane smiles as best he can * Sunspot tacklehugs Thrash. Ghn! * Thrashmane gets floored O_o` We'll be okay for now * Tint smirks. Kids. * Roadkill grumbles as he looks at the large hole in his chest armor, then makes his way to medbay * Sunspot is shaking a bit still. * Twilight heads back to the Freedom after Lil and lands in the flight deck, then tfs * Magnum is nowhere to be found amongst the scattering debris.... * Thrashmane returns the hug I think everyone's back on board. I can try and follow the Nimitz *hughughug* [comm] Lilwall to Waitstate * Sunspot makes little sobby sounds. * Tint sits on the floor. * Thrashmane whispers out of the corner of his mouth at Tint "wanna help?" [comm] Wait here [comm] Magnum appears to have been destroyed... [comm] I recommend scanning the debris at coordinates 3,3,6,8 * Roadkill makes it to medbay, still grumbling, and nearly trips over Sunny and Thrash. Woah ack, sorry there. Spots, are you okay? What about that 'Con freaked you out so bad? * Waitstate scans * Tint scoots over next to Sunspot and Thrashmane. * Sunspot is too busy being upset to speak. ...ok. * Tint looks at Thrash. Thrash has been trashed * Roadkill wanders over to a medbed and sits down on it [comm] Want flight capable Tactibots outside in case anyone else should decide we could be an easy target? * Sunspot looks up at Roadkill. * Thrashmane continues to hug Sunspot, and whispers comforting things to her [comm] yes. and gather anyone else you need * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bridge * Admiral-Lilwall overhears the comm [comm to engineering] we need repair teams stat I'm on it!

"Y'okay, Sunny?" * Restore and Welder enter medbay * Arashi lets the other tactibots and anyone else know, before going outside and flying around the ship You're hurt... Alright, anyone not damaged, this isn't the place to be * Twilight goes back outside the ship and joins in on the escort duty thing Sunspot, you're looking jittery, you ok? Well, seems Dark Force is going to join the Tactibots. Hey, it ain't serious, Sunny one. No need to worry 'bout it. *smiles reassuringly at her* * Tint stands up. I guess that means us.. Except me, I'm the only one designed without a flight mode. heh Luckeee * Chameleon, Starstorm and Hyperion make their way outside * Sunspot looks up at Restore, 'cause she's sitting on the floor still. "I..." * Sunspot clings to Thrash some more. * Restore moves over to Sunspot, and is still much smaller than her* I have something that will calm your circuits if you like... * Ghost-Stalker makes her way to the bridge Won't drug you out or anything * Sunspot shakes her head. "I'll be okay.." * Roadkill sits on the medbay and kicks his heels idly interesting hole in the floor... and floor... and floor... Yup. * Ghost-Stalker buzzes the bridge door * Sunspot looks up at Thrashy some more. * Roadkill wonders when any of the docs will notice him * Tint walks over to Roadkill and joins him in staring down into the abyss. *to sunspot* Alright then. *heads back to RK* Now, what did you break today? who, me? Break stuff? *looks innocent* * Roadkill points to the hole in his chest armor. "Owie." given it's position, clearly not a broken heart :) I'll have you fixed in no time * Roadkill then points to the hole in the floor. "Bigger owie there though, hehehe." * Roadkill winks at Restore At least nobody got sucked out...the force fields came up fairly fast. * Ghost-Stalker gets fed up of waiting for the door to open, pulls a device from subspace and attaches it to the bridge door, forcing it to open, then removes the device * Sunspot looks up at Thrashy with big eyes. "You were really brave..." * Roadkill lets Restore boss him around as she fixes him up um, hi Ghost. * Restore does some medical fixing up stuff to Roadkill for awhile * Ghost-Stalker stays at the door. "Should have let me terminate the Decepticon while I had the chance." *leaves* * Twilight continues to fly patrol around the Freedom I somehow doubt that would have stopped them from dropping by um... yeah... * Roadkill gets all fixed up, ay * Sunspot looks up at Thrashy all awe-struck some more. * Diablo wonders what was going on * Thrashmane grins and avoids eye-contact with Sunspot * Roadkill pats Sunny on the shoulder, then leaves medbay and heads for the bridge So it's all over already... And...we're all okay? Is everybody okay? * Sunspot looks around. * Roadkill arrives at the bridge and rings the bell thingy. whatever * Tactibots that can fly, fly around in circles in space * Twilight continues his patrol around the Freedom * Roadkill waits outside the bridge Thrashy? Is everyone okay? I sure hope so. Do you think they'll leave us alone now that they have the other one back? I sure hope so. Maybe I should go look around, I'm probably gonna be expected to help fix some of this... * Sunspot sighs. I don't wanna go anywhere yet, though. That was scary... * Trihorn runs up behind Roadkill then between his legs and headbutts the door * Firestorm helps fix stuff ack, dinodude! [comm] Waitstate? * Trihorn roars then keeps headbutting the door to get the attention of whoever's on the bridge * Roadkill leans against the wall next to the bridge door and watches Trihorn with amusement [comm] Waitstate here [comm] Is it okay is I sit the repairs out for a little bit? Or, actually...can I come to the bridge and talk to you? I wanna know what's going on. * Trihorn stops, looks up at Roadkill and headbutts him instead [comm] sure, come on up. I'll meet you in my office if you want hey! [comm] Okay, thank you. excuse me. *goes to his office* * Roadkill picks up the triceratops and looks at him severely. Now that wasn't very nice... * Trihorn roars * Sunspot turns to Thrashy. "I'm gonna go talk to Wait, okay? I wanna know what's going on. * Roadkill tucks Trihorn under one arm and heads for the Plaza Mind if I come too? Okay, we'll both go. Sounds good * Sunspot heads for the bridge. c'mon, dinodude, let's see if we can't get ya t'make a mess of Powerplay's store or something, hmm? * Sunspot walkwalkwalkwalkwalks up to the bridge, and Wait's office. * Trihorn roars again now now, Trihorn, be nice. * Trihorn shakes his tail around * Roadkill arrives at the Plaza with Trihorn still under one arm, and goes over to Powerplay's shop * Sunspot gets to the office. come in, have a seat Thanks. * Sunspot turns to Thrash. Maybe it'd be better if I do this alone. Okey dokey * Sunspot goes into the office and has a seat. * Powerplay spots Roadkill walking over, carrying Trihorn * Waitstate makes the door close for privacy What's he done now? * Sunspot looks up at Waitstate. * Sunspot is still a little scared and all. Done? Oh, nothing much. It's what he's going to do that'll be interesting. *grins and puts Trihorn down inside Powerplay's shop.* Go knock over stuff now, dinodude! So... Do we know why these Decepticons keep attacking us? * Trihorn makes a mad dash for the store room they seem to be under the misguided impression that we're out to conquer the universe or something. I get the impression that there are more personal reasons, but that seems to be the main one Go Trihorn! Hehehehe. *quickly makes his escape before Powerplay can bring out his rail cannon* Gah, no. Not in there! *looks at Roadkill* Just wait till he gets inside your quarters! *runs into the store room* That's... * Sunspot shakes her head. That's SILLY. That's what I said *chuckles* That's why I don't keep anything much in my quarters... They seem to be dangerously misinformed about a lot of things. One of them referred to me as a warlord * Direclaw sits on the counter of the bar * Sunspot giggles a little despite herself. * Roadkill goes into the bar for no particular reason and spots Direclaw heya there, wolfy dude. * Trihorn is chased out of the store room and tfs to tape mode That was approximately my reaction, yes, heh So do ALL the Decepticons think this? * Direclaw makes a wolf noise and stays on the counter * Roadkill sits down at the counter That I don't know. I doubt it. For all I know, Galvatron dispatched them after us because he thought we stole his rubber duckie or something. Decepticon leadership is not what it once was. * Sunspot nods. Though I guess if they all thought that we might be getting attacked by more than that one group... right. The only other Decepticon attack on us I can recall was years ago, and they wanted Lightning for deserting or something. * Sunspot looks up. So did we all make it through this time? * Waitstate sighs a bit We haven't found Magnum... * Sunspot frowns. *sigh* Why couldn't it have been any Decepticons other than them? huh? have you met them before joining us? * Sunspot looks at the floor. "Once. I still have nightmares about it..." * Roadkill talks to the wolfbot on the counter. *gentle* tell me about it * Direclaw listens Just before I came here, I was on a mission with my team running information and cargo, and they attacked our ship and killed everybody but me. And I was just an accident... oh no... So I really don't like to see them harassing my new home. I can imagine :/ And...and that's why I wanted to know why they were doing it, and it's why I'm still a little shaken up... it seemed mostly like a rescue operation from what I can tell. They left shortly after they managed to retrieve Crosscut from the brig * Sunspot nods. I noticed they left in a hurry... I just hope we hurt them enough to keep them away for a while. I put a number of dents in that ship of theirs at least * Direclaw leaps from the counter and onto a chair Good. * Roadkill patpats the wolfybot * Sunspot looks down again. I don't really feel mad at them for what they did to my team, because they were just following orders...but I'm plenty scared of them. "just following order" is rarely a good enough excuse in my experience * Direclaw makes a happy wolf noise Heh, cute wolfy bot I guess I've just always been too busy mourning for my family to get angry... But all I care about now is that I don't lose any of you guys to them. I'll make sure you stay informed about Magnum then Thank you. I hope we find him. And I hope they leave us alone. I guess I should go help repair the ship, what with that being my job now and all... * Waitstate laughs Normally I'd say take your time, but in this case, we're entirely too vulnerable for my tastes * Sunspot gets up. I'll do a good job of it. * Roadkill changes topic to "-=2001.257=- Okay, NOW rp finishes!"
