The Intergalactic Highway

Glowstick turned as Xzuk's voice is heard on his internal speakers Roger that, I found another survivor north along the coastline. Her beast mode is exactly like yours, except white. Must be popular! She speculates that this planet may be earth, there was no extra information in her pod.

Glowstick transformed to his beast mode so he wouldn't drain his field dampers any further, he crossed his feeder tentacles thinking This energon thing could be a major problem if we don't find a suitable shelter.. We need to find if the ship is even here.. otherwise we'll have to build something with the parts in the stasis pods..

Glowstick activated his communication system Hey Xzuk, was this survivor by chance a flier? I'm thinking if theres more then just me in the air we might have better chances finding where the maximal ship may be, let alone other survivors will be easier to detect.

Orcariner's long range scanners picked up two additional blips on the mainland. They appeared to be some distance away from the transformers that he was spying on now, but the Maximal knew he should not exclude the possibility of them being affiliated with one another. If all four of these individuals were Predacons, he would be at a severe disadvantage despite his size. The feeling of impatience crept through his back and the killer whale felt compelled to swim forward.

How'd he do it?

Memories of his fallen friend's seemingly endless patience made him envious. Suddenly, one of the robots transformed into a squid. The white one who remained in robot form barely surpassed 5' tall, and if a Predacon would make a negligent foe. Sensing a prime opportunity to make his move, Orcariner dived and rushed forward towards the beach. The whale's swimming pace has significantly quickened through days of practice, and within a few cycles he felt the sand graze his white abdomen.

He roared quite audibly, "Orcariner, maximize!"

The giant animal sprung from the water, transforming into the towering robot form that he missed all too much. Reaching his full height, not even the white transformer stood up to his waist. The Maximal held his carbine rifle in his right hand, although at a slackened posture indicating that he merely drew the weapon as a sign of caution not aggression.

"The name's Orcariner," he introduced himself to the two individuals, "I am a sentry of the Maximal vessel Axalon. I mean you no harm, and only want to get acquainted with you all."

"The name's Orcariner," he introduced himself to the two individuals, "I am a sentry of the Maximal vessel Axalon. I mean you no harm, and only want to get acquainted with you all."

Sonar stayed hidden in his branch as he watched the Maximal talk to the other two Maxi's, he looked at Orcariner wondering if he's make a good test subject. Nah, he looks like he has to much fight in him, what about the other two? He thought as he hung upside from.

SNow Trix looked at Glowstick listening to the com-link system while still deep in thought of GLowstick's words before. BUt the sudden appearance of the MAximal made SNow Trix step back and look up to try and look the MAximal in the optics, she barely reached his waist! "I'm Snow Trix, part of the Predacon Spy Squadron. But is a weapon really nessicary right now Maximal? We are stranded on a planet with no contact to Cybertron nor to the crashed ships risking a fight would risk having one of us offlined." She said. If they were to have a truce for now Snwo Trix would play along until she saw a chance for ambush.

As for now she would observe the other survivors and find who was worth trusting and who wasn't. "Beast mode." Snow Trix transforme dback to her fox form. "So? Where should we look first?" She asked.

Moonshine took her first few shaky steps away from the pod that had brought her to this strange new world. Her gait was a bit unsteady, so she used a rock to support herself as she gazed into the horizon. She took note of the flowers, trees, and occasional wild life, along with the distant blue shade of the ocean.

Her beast mode transformation had initially failed, however a quick self-diagnostic check confirmed that it was a fixable issue. Moonshine sat down on the rock she had used for support and popped open a compartment on her arm that concealed some medical equipment. A few moments later she had repaired the damaged systems and could finally convert to beast form.

"Maximize!"

A few seconds later the hawk-eagle took to the skies.

"I'll see what I can find Glowstick... I'll see if we can bring the pod along."

He turned the mass of a creature and made a request.

"Is there any way that you could bring the pod with us?"

He would do it himself, but he was far too small to move it himself..

He turned looking towards Orcariner looking up Your a big one hm? Name's Glowstick, Communications officer. I'll inform the other maximals about your arrival.

Glowstick then patted Snow trix on the head Now now.. calm down, if he was going to slag us, he would of done it while he was watching in the shallows.

Glowstick activated his com system again Hey Xzuk, found another one.. I think I'm about as tall as his knee caps, he's a water type. Calls himself Ocariner, the ship's Sentry. We're going back down the coast to rondevu with you guys and discuss some options.

Glowstick then looked towards the two Shall we go?

"Do you mind?"Snow Trix said,ears going back at being patte dont he head. Sighing the fox femme looked over her shoulder, it felt liekt ehyw er ebeing watched but there was nothing to see from this distance.. Shakin her head she looked abck at the two, "Sure."

Xzuk wrote:"Is there any way that you could bring the pod with us?"

"Yes," said Lineos with a sneer, "but first I must load the pod with my food."
His reaction will be delightful. thought Lineos silently as aloud, he added "My name is Lineos, soldier of the Predacons."

"I'm Xzuk. Scout commander of The Axalon."

Why kill innocent creatures like that?

"Must you kill the native creatures? They have done nothing wrong...."

Glowstick dragged himself into the water as he started to swim towards the end of the coast, floating on the surface while glowing so as to be easy to follow by Snow trix, though he assumed Orcariner could easily follow him with his sonar.

As he swam he began to ponder how to detect a ship, remembering some radio techniques he'd heard about and wondering how to implement them in an effective way.

Xzuk wrote:"Must you kill the native creatures? They have done nothing wrong...."

"Would you prefer that I eat Maximal filth instead? For I believe that there is one Maximal right in front of me, just begging to be ripped apart and eaten." replied Lineos as he gathered the corpses of his fight.

Orcariner felt a sense of panic and his spark began to beat faster. The white one was a self-proclaimed Predacon. Glowstick did not specify, so either he was a Predacon or he was a Maximal that Snow Trix had quelled somehow. He didn't like this, and the fact that the two other blips nearby remained unknown.

If there's anytime to run, it's now, he thought.

Gathering the courage, but refusing to withdraw his weapon, Orcariner replied.

"Sure, but make let's move fast. There's a river less than a kilometer west of here so I'd prefer if we all stick close to that before I get stuck on dry land. Your legs may save you, Glowstick, but my flippers aren't as useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Orcariner noticed a third unknown blip appearing somewhat faint on his radar. He wondered if it was another transformer, or just an anomaly caused by the overwhelming energon radiation.

Sighing in defeat Sonar let go of the branch and took flight headed back to his lair, he would first try on the on the planets furry orgaincs before he went back cybertronians.

"A light will be easy to follow, but from your fishy scents it won't be too ahrd to follow either." SNow Trix's nose was wrinkiled at the salty air and fishy scents.She began to follow along the coastline following after Glowstick and Orcariner still keeing her eye ont eh two.The large whle transformer was easy to tell ebing a Maximal so she would ahve to watch ehr back and actions but Glowstick still was one to try and find out. If SNow Trix could play her cards right she might find some information that would be useful.

'Such as weaknesses.' She thought her ears going back as she ran.
