(( OOC: If I'm not mistaken, Alak, I think Optimus secured that surveillance footage so only he can access it. ))
Rattrap took note of Ironclaw obviously ignoring his orders. Great. So he had two dead bulbs on his team; the badger and the bird dog. And everything quickly fell apart because of their lack of obeying his orders and disrespecting him. If they can't work together, then they might as well retreat before they all end up dead or taken prisoner.
"Airazor, what are you doin' up there circlin' around like a turkey vulture?" Rattrap joked over his comm. link to her knowing full well he had asked her to stay put. His focus never left the llama, however, as his optics held steady on him. "Put out Inferno's pilot light, would ya?" He didn't mean his spark, he just meant get the pyromaniac's attention and knock his lights out so they wouldn't have to deal with that flier and his fiery ambitions.

Just like dropping a baby on its head. Rattrap couldn't quite tell if the llama was being serious or not."Uh...I'm not sure what you're talking about with this whole Maximal racial thing. Last time I checked, I'm supposed to be a llama. I could be wrong, my pod fell head first on the ground, but I don't see what the fuss is all about."
"Feed you what? Squirrel droppings and hair? That's all they got for trail mix." What did llamas eat anyway? Grass? There was plenty of that right where they were standing! "Uh, FYI, new guy, we got the greens at our base. They have rocks. ...And lava. ...And squirrel droppings," he added in again. "Probably not a good diet fer your coat.""That lovely lady there is even gonna feed me!"
At least the females listened to him and understood a little thing called tactic."So much for a covert attempt."

"He ain't gonna understand," RT told Wintersong, implying that she shouldn't waste her time."We can't seem to work together because we're in a war new guy, and you've just been thrown right in the middle of it."
"In hindsight, dat'll be a really poor decision," he said, shaking his head, feeling sorry for the llama guy and whatever silly bribery he fell for."Back off, traitor!" "He has already decided to come with us!"
"Can't we all be friends and get drunk off energon together? I thought that's how things were done back home?"
"That's not how we do things here. We settle our arguments with some good, old-fashioned......." "Inferno!!!"
"But not really," he bluntly added, rolling his optics at the ant targeting him momentarily."Which for once, the ant actually said something smart...kinda."
What 're ya talkin' about, 'Bolt? We're all stuck here spendin' our days dukin' it out, he thought, sighing and watching the Fuzor's words fall apart with the llama. He really shoulda left the talking ta me..."The choice is yours, my friend." "Do you really want to spend your life in battle? Come with us and spend your days in peace on Cybertron."
See? Don't underestimate the new guy. Now you look like an idiot. The Spy shook his head and drew his gun while the Predacons grew restless."Uh... Cybertron, right. I guess that's why you're stranded on this rock with the rest of us, bro."
"It's always personal, Stretch," Rattrap butted in and aimed at the llama's weapon, firing at it or the hand holding it. Fortunately, this newbie didn't know who he was dealing with; a master marksman. On the other hand, Rattrap had no idea what this guy was capable of either. Only one way to find out."If I'm gonna be stuck here, I might as well be well fed." "Nothing personal."

It seemed Nemesis had her sights on Wintersong and Ironclaw on Nemesis. That left Rattrap with this llama freak AND Starshadow, and Silverbolt with Manterror who just tackled him. Okay. They might just make it out alive from this. If the llama made his choice, then they should just leave him with it and let him figure it out on his own if it was the right for him or not. But maybe there was still a chance to change his mind, if there was any chance of that chance. ...Too many chances."You're about to spend your days in permanent peace!!" "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I WILL DISMEMBER YOU ONE LIMB AT A TIME!! "
"I got a better idea, ya flee-bitten feline. How about you come a little closer so I can gnaw off your crooked whiskers?" Lifting his gun again, he fired two shots at her feet to make her move. I just love bein' outnumbered at these little outtings, he thought sarcastically."Why yes little mousey~ would you be a good little squeak toy and stand there to be my target practice?"

The sense of humor in this group was a foul one, but still humorous. It brought a smile to Rhinox's face every so often.“It would be my pleasure,” “And if my firepower should fail, then have Aurora send in the funk.”
"Have fun out there Dinobot, sure he might make good for target practice."
Once Dinobot exited the ship, the science engineer turned his attention back to monitoring the other situations. There wasn't much he could gather from Rattrap's team because of the distance, and that made it difficult for him not to worry about them. All they could really do was wait to hear from them. Since it had been a while when Cheetor's group had set out, he decided to check in with them. "Cheetor or Feralnight, this is Rhinox. What is your progress?" he called through the Axalon's communications.“Indeed.”
"I agree with you on that, not a pleasant image." "To be honest, I'm glad it's only Sonar we're dealing with and not even more Predacons."
Which made it so odd to Rhinox. Was this not a trap or a trick? Was it really Sonar just going solo and seeking something of importance to him? "He and Saber-Fang have a history so he could be trying to draw her out, but it's hard to say what his real intentions are. Maybe Dinobot can find out. ...Or just chase him away.""I wonder why Sonar is attempting to attack us by himself. Is he truly stupid enough to think we'd surrender from a few shots bouncing off our shields?"
