Uh oh!

*As he crept deeper into Autobot City, Prowl began to get an increasing feeling of dread. The strange mechs he'd been following seemed largely oblivious to his presence, not that he intended to draw attention to himself. The two drones he had spotted earlier were headed toward the center of the city, so that was where he was headed as well

[Scomm: Officers/Autobot City Team] I'm seein', but I don't know about believin' -- well, sh*BEEP*, Roadbuster was right. Prowl, pull back, man. I dunno, think we can establish diplomatic discussions with that..? [/comm]

[SComm: Officers/Autobot City Team] Blaster, according to my.... guest here, that won't work. He says that if they've been infected by this Necronomicon then they'll be more tenacious and singleminded than Tiberian CyBats. I'm almost inside the City limits, we'll be able to back the boss up. You'd probably better send the twins, and maybe come along yourself...... I can always find a use for a tank. [/scomm]

*Roadbuster increases speed, speaking to his two passengers as he does so.* Ash, kid, get ready.... things are gonna get pretty intense.

[Scomm:Officers/Autobot City Team] On my way, Sarge. ...Soon as I figure out how to drive this crazy alt mode [/comm]

*A familiar looking white & red jet screams over the Ark, transforming as it lands* Need a lift Blaster?

Disregarding the fact that Prowl is probably trying to keep a low profile, on his latest fly-by Starscream transforms and thuds to the ground near to the 2IC, having pinpointed him due to the actual Autobot signature he gave off, as opposed to the strange somethingorother the augmented seeker was picking up off the others in the area. Starscream waves an arm out over the scene before them. "WHAT are you fool Autobots trying to do here?!?"

[ogicsucks]

*Prowl transforms and jumps up into the seeker's face.*

I was doing recon until you blundered into the middle of things, you dolt! Contrary to appearances, those are NOT Autobots down there! Did you even NOTICE the creature leading them? The one WEARING MY OLD BODY?

.......

How in the name of Primus did you ever rise to be my opposite in the Decepticon army?

*Prowl looks down to see several drones, as well as a few zombified Autobots headed toward them.* You can stay and ask questions of THEM, Starscream, but I doubt they are in a mood to share.

*Prowl transforms into his motorcycle mode and heads back toward the outskirts of the city. To his disquiet, he had DEFINITELY been spotted.*

[SComm: Shadow] I'm headed your direction. Try to find us some cover, Roadbuster is on the way. [/scomm]

Starscream waves Prowl away as one would a gnat. "Oh, I do apologize. I only ask questions when I already know the answer, after all. I have also had a lot of free time lately to take notes on what shell any given Autobot is wearing each day."

He smirks. "How? ...I have skills." He points at the approaching drones, dark energy gathering around his forearm, then he blasts the line of them with a succession of energy bolts. He glances back at Prowl, frowning and looking oddly...serious. "No, I don't think they're going to sit and chat--" He stops when Prowl transforms and drives off. He turns back to the remaining zombies, blasts a few more of them, then takes off into the sky. He watches Prowl as the Autobot drives along but decides to stay above. He flies off for another circuit over the city, on the lookout for the old-Prowl-body creature.

As Dirge nears Autobot city he picks up on a strong energy signature that's somewhere in the sky with him. He skirts around a cloud bank toward the signal -- and veers right into the clouds as he gets a confirmation on the signature. He's sure he's as good as spotted, though

Down below, Klank is still hauling aft at top speed towards Autobot City. Obviously, he can't see what's up ahead too well thanks to distance, trees and brush...but his tracking equipment is starting to pick up on more signatures in the area. They are few, however, and he's starting to think those are not the "burnt-out mechs" Dirge mentioned

[pastryphr34k]

Dirge picks a spot on the perimeter to land and hopes it's at a good distance to find cover and still meet up with Klank at some point. He sees something nearby, but it's more of a motorcycle shape than a wolf shape and is giving off a living signature, at least. He hesitates before trying to find out more, preferring to wait for Klank before making contact with anyone else. He sidles up behind a tree and hopes it's enough to hide him from view.

((Let's get these scattered 'bots met up already, eh?))

[wolfinbotsarmor]

Klank manages to note where it seems Dirge touched down. Steiner has sent him an acknowledgment to the previous comm message. As he closes in on the Seeker's location, however, he catches sight of that same motorcycle, then wolf shape... That gets his attention.

[SComm:Dirge] "I'm going to pursue that signature in motion... Hopefully I won't make myself a target, but it's impossible to see determine what's going on from here."

Determination, bravery...sheer audacity, whatever has gotten into him, Klank plows forward and heads into the city.

((Meet up, indeed. I'm heading up to Prowl's new post to get in on the action.))
