Blackstar pays little mind to which direction he's pointed when he lifts away from the ocean's surface above the Decepticon base. He just wants to fly, and direction doesn't matter to him any more. Whatever sensors or radars or satellites these humans have, none of them would be able to pick him up now anyway, except for possibly as a blurry image ( Read more... )

Back to the control room... 0ut_of_sight February 15 2007, 03:42:03 UTC
((Continued from here.))

The Control Center's door slides open and Echoshift steps in. At one side of the room, taking up most of the entire wall, the main computer is still humming and active. The other consoles are also online, and thanks to the repair work that had been done earlier, all the hardware actually functions now and there are no more open panels with bits of wiring and circuit boards hanging untidily out of them. Looking around the room, it seems to Echoshift that that whole room appears generally rather less run-down than it did before.

Strata had done a good job.

Leaving the door unlocked, Echoshift heads over to the main computer while he waits for Steadfast to arrive and glances over the work he's done so far, pausing after a while to dig through the small pile of assorted Stuff that has managed to start accumulating on a nearby worktop. Somewhere around here he was sure he'd left a datapad with a list on it...

"Er, I think she was talking to me, actually," Echoshift observes with a chuckle before answering Steadfast. "Your locks should be reset to default too. You just need to re-input the security code when you next go there. I haven't done anything else to it apart from that, as far as I know. And I would've told you earlier too, but like 'Warp, you kinda weren't here."

"I was; and I know," Steadfast replies, giving Echoshift an 'It's okay' look.

*Wingblade gives Echoshift a curious look* ...So anyone can walk into any of the rooms? *the look turns mischevious--hey, she can go hunting for possible prank-supplies!*

A brief, worried expression flashes across Echoshift's face as he looks at Wingblade.

"Er, no. Not exactly."

Steadfast looks at Wingblade with that 'Mama can see what you're up to' look. "I know what you're thinking of, and no, you won't."

Both to distract the Seekerling from possible naughty plans, and because she honestly wants to know, she asks, "Why don't you tell me more about when you were visiting your Daddy?"

Well... He talked about bein' a unicorn, but he didn't mention any Autobots being around... He'd heard rumors of Autobot Seekers, which would be my sisters, right? And he'd heard something I said about seeing a pink female Autobot with one of the other Starscreams, not the one that came into the base with us. Then we talked about the Academy being out for repairs and some other things that might be fun to do in my 'verse. *mischevious grin, and she's not going to say what those fun things to do are!*

Noticing that he's no longer the center of attention, and having been satisfied as to his own peculiar notions, Duskwing quietly fades out of sight.

As if summoned by the talk of their father, two faint flickers, like a pair of supersonic birds, pop up on the security sensor grid monitoring the area around Teradessa 1. The base comm station beeps briefly before Strata's voice cuts across the open channel, oddly subdued for the norbally ebullient Seeker.

"Teradessa 1, this is Autobot Strata requesting permission for Autobots Photon and Strata to enter."

Having been about to pull the same fade as Duskwing, Blackstar is caught by surprise by Strata's voice. He pauses for an instant, staring towards the comm station before fading abruptly from sight.

"I don't think there were any Autobot Seekers other than..." Whatever else Steadfast wanted to say in comment to Wingblade is cut off when Strata's message comes in. "Oh, hey, speak of the...!

"If you'd ask them in, Echoshift?" she requests politely.

"One step ahead of you, Steady," he informs her with a grin, already at the console and tapping at the controls. It hasn't escaped him that the ghosts seem to have disappeared from the room, but simply wondering why they did so and where they are now wasn't exactly likely to get him answers. He busies himself with answering the transmission from the twins.

"Permission granted, Strata," comes the response. Echoshift puzzles over the oddly subdued tone of her voice. "The elevator should be up in just a moment."

"Thanks Shifter. Steadfast and that mech she wanted us to meet still on site?"

He grins. "Yep. They're standing right here in the control center with me, in fact."

*Wingblade's grin widens at the thought of who the voice on the other end of the comm must be, and she starts to tremble slightly in anticipation. She finally gets to meet her new sisters!*

"Understood. Ride's here. We'll meet you in the control center in a few minutes," Strata replies before the transmission cuts out.

True to her word, a few minutes later, the familiar ring of thrusterboots against metal plating sounds in the corridor just beyond the doorway. There's a brief pause before the door opens, admitting a pair of Seeker femmes, one red, one black, with distinctive red Autobrands emblazoned on their wings. Two pairs of serious blue optics sweep across the room, pausing on Winglbade for a moment. Strata gives Echoshift a nod of greeting before turning her attention to Steadfast.

"Sorry it took us so long to get here," she offers.

"There were some... unexpected difficulties that arose back at Autobot City that required our attention," Photon adds.

"You must be who Steadfast wanted us to meet," Strata continues, turning towards Wingblade. "I'm Strata. This is Photon."
