The Intergalactic Highway

Xzuk wrote:"For as long as I care to search my databanks for, I've been a scout for Maximal research vessels, like the Axalon. I survey the planet before anyone else so that the crew is saved if there is danger. Though, I must say this is the most eventful scouting mission I've ever been sent on."

Orcariner nodded with respect, "Always important to fill in as the eyes and ears for a team. However powerful my scanners are, they only detect activated lifeforms of mechanical design. Maximals like you help us generate accurate topographic maps and warn us of natural dangers that scanner consoles cannot."

Slashing through another pair of trees, the trio were greeted with the sight of a large river that possibly expanded nearly half a mile wide. His dampers were holding up very well against the energon fields, but Orcariner was happy nonetheless to see a place where he may return to beast mode. The tall Maximal knelt down onto the bank transformed into a killer whale.

"You all may continue to walk and fly," he said, using his flippers to push himself into the water, "But I'm going to travel by water where I am most comfortable."

Xzuk was awestruck by the size of the river.

Back on Cyrbertron, you'd be lucky to get water as a coolant... but here... it was just so abundant... it truly was a beautiful sight.

He turned his head to the skies to be Sure that Moonshine was still there.

"How are you holding up Moonshine?"

Glowstick floated in the water watching Snow trix, he pondered why she would put the energy into scouting ahead but then assumed she was just bored. He looked around for Lineos, but found he was probably catching up, or something more sinister. Find anything interesting up there? he then said, his fins seen moving in the water to "hover" in his current position.

"More trees and on the other side some sort of mountains abuut several hundred miles away,that's about it." SNow Tix replied Turning Snow Trix wa sposed to jump,tail flicking but it has been a mistake sine she hadn't spotted the large preting bird of an eagle.It mistook her for a tasty fox,a real one, and dove at her as she jumped. Feeling sharp talons scrap her tail Now Trix snarled and turned feeling pain shoot through her back side before she fued her energon rope and lassoed the eagle tot he gorund then landed a second after."Stupid organic bird..."She sighed and let it go free.

Glowstick's audios peaked at the sound of a mountain. A mountain? That may be useful I suppose, if it isn't filled with energon. he then watched as she lassoed the bird Skills with ropes eh?.. Too easy on that joke.. if he had a face, he would of been smirking at the moment.

"Hppefully they're not but no doubt about it. And I don't see what's the joke about being skilled in ropes GLowstick, soemtimes a gun or sword won't always work." Snow Trix said.

Glowstick sighed, it was never amusing to explain a joke. That usually ment it was either above the intelligence of the audience, or simply not amusing to that group. Kinky and aggressive, qualities very well suited for females of our faction I suppose. No matter.. hm.. if theres a Mountain ahead it usually is the source of a river like this..If we go long enough we may reunite with the maximals again if they have the same water source..

"I suppose it might be,we never know. And hopefully we do,I don't trust Maximals in a group alone together." She said returning to fox form and beginning to walk again. "But Glowstick you speak as if they aren't your allies...you never said whether your neutal or Predacon or maximal.

Glowstick's eye shifted as he floated along Hm? I'm just a Predacon, I just picked up the job of Communications officer since it was something I could do due to the Pax Cybertronia..a Non-hostal job on a research vessel, or go back to west sector and take up military job under the self defense force with Predacon heroes like Magmatron. However, due to the amount of maximals on this planet.. it's best not to say what you are, they may be uncomfortable.. but better that then plotting to plug you to "rid the universe of another problem" with no eyes watching them..

"The Pax Cybertronia was a joke. We could neve rlive in peace and the Maximla High OCulcil and the Tripedicus COuncil knew it. But I say what I am and I don't give a care what someone thinks. If the Maximals are so uncomfortable too bad." Snow Trix said flicking ehr tail. She had had enough experience wiht Maixmals and in ehr opnion they weren't any good. No matte rhow just or diplomatic they could be.

Glowstick laughed So true. Hm.. You sure your a Predacon criminal sentenced to just being dumped on a abandoned planet? From the work I saw from the lizard guy I understand why he would be.. But you don't exactly seem the berserk mindlessly killing type. So I wonder what you may be after..

His eyes looked up at the sky's two moons Two moons.. so much for the earth theory..

"No not really hoenstly, they got tired of seeing me in and out of the brig so they decided to throw me into stasis. BUt I didn't go easy so pretty much their hopes of me being reformatted again went down the drain." Snow Trix said shrugging. BUt she looked up at the two moons, it jsut didn't seem right for such a planet. "That's odd indeed for this sort of planet.Something doesn't feel right about one f them." One fot he moons made Snwo Trix very uneasy but she shook her ehad comign into a patch of moonlgiht, her fur almsot a ghoustly white.

He looked at her, then shifted back go watching the river path. So far not even a peep of a radio signal detected. One of those hm? Well the way things are looking, atleast you wont be alone on this rock..Just surrounded by homicidal maniacs and a lazy raving squid.

"A lazy squid sounds easier to hang out with then a bunch of murderous maniacs." Snow Trix commented. "I did my time in the brig mostly for vandalism, stealing, and a few runaways fromt he law. There was one case I helped the gang I wa sin ebat up a few bots but not enough to kill 'em. I got my skills mostly from trying to survive on my own and all." SHe said with another shrugg.

Sonar hung upside down in a tree resting, so far his plan wasn't going so well he needed stronger equipment in order for his projects to work. And looking for Predicons was his only way he could get the stuff he needed. "But where can i find the other Preds?" He said quietly.
