The Intergalactic Highway

He's definately a Predacon....

"Why kill me? You need more than yourself to survive... and logic would say... that I'm needed."

Xzuk didn't trust this guy... he just seemed too confrontational... and Xzuk knew he couldn't be trusted for long..

Glowstick continued along the coastline Don't worry about going too far inland, we'll just stick with the beach for now.. I don't exactly enjoy being stuck on land either. Some surfaces just make it impossible to move. So I'm assuming your not equipped with a flight mode? Guess that's not a problem.. if Snow trix is right, this place is 70% water.. so you should have access to most areas the others can't get to without a flier.

Nodding with understanding, Orcariner added, "By the way, my scanners picked up two or three other energy signatures similar to ours nearby. Friends of yours or new arrivals?"

Er.. no, theres one extra in that listing.. So I'm taking your not the one releasing sound pulses at 150,000 mhz? Glowstick slowed down in the water Maybe..we should investigate that...

SNow Trix puased and walked closer tot he water until ti was almsot reaching ehr paws, "Somthing wwrong Glowstick?" She asked when he had stopped.

From high above Glowstick and the others, Moonshine came gliding in. She remained in beast form, of course, merely watching them for a bit.

Unaware of the war raging between the two factions, her curiosity got the better of her and she approached with caution.

The trio paused their conversation and looked up, taking notice of the black bird that descended towards them.

Blast it, thought Orcariner, Tell me that's a Maximal. I'm already stuck with a questionable crowd and now we have fliers joining us. Fliers! This bot was probably flying to high for my scanners to pick up. Blasted flier.

Hiding showing his annoyance towards flight-capable transformers, the giant Maximal loudly asked the visitor.

"Greetings, are you looking for help?"

SNow Trix turned her head slightly to look at Moonshine,somewhat happy she wouldn't be the only female transformer around for suriviors.

Glowstick looked up above at Moonshine, obviously she wasn't releasing the sonar he was talking about earlier. Was it just his imagination? Or maybe his equipment was being effected by the energon radiation.. For now that didn't matter.

Long range radar hm? You'll come in useful in finding these guys.. half of them don't even respond to radio broadcasts. Oh well, I'll go talk to im'.

Glowstick spun in the water as he transformed to robot mode, still not using a voice command to do his transformations. His body floated up from the water as a rush of air came from the siphon on his back accelerating him faster to Moonshine's height.

His siphon shifted sending out a puff of air to slow his ascent, his body glowing from various points while light twinkling was seen coming from points on his transparent skin making his silhouette easier to see in the darkening sky Good evening survivor, I am Communications Officer Glowstick, my associates below are going to be meeting up with other survivors southward of the beach. Would you like to join us?

Seeing a chance to go it alone for a bit Snow Trix slipped away from the three to tlak or whatever theyw ere going to do. SLipping through the dark bushes the fox had to rely on her senses to help her around as she went to and from the shore like."Those three can gossip and talk about a truce for now. I got other thigns to do then talk.She said udner ehr breathe but paused listening closely.So far nothing. Thinking the fox femme went to ehr night vision scanners walkign through the trees until she stopped eharing a twig snap.

Orcariner felt a bit annoyed and jealous while watching the transformed squid rise into the air.

Another one? he thought, How many fliers are on this rock?

He rested his finger on the carbine's trigger and glared through his optics up at the night sky. Should these two turn out to be Predacons, the enemy will outnumber him three to one. Surely, with these odds they may try to overwhelm the giant.

Fool. Even this world is not invincible.

"Who said anything about killing you now, Maximal? Filth like you can be useful for a time, but everyone fails in the end."

Once I find a single Predacon, your life will be forfeit.

"I have loaded the food aboard the pod. Is there anything else you need done?"

((I was waiting for the others to get together before speaking up, but I had waited long enough Xzuk. Your turn.))

Moonshine came to a halt as the squid ascended into the air to stop before her. She hadn't seen anything quite like this creature before and was somewhat taken aback by the fact he could defy gravity like the flying creatures that had been selected for her beast form.

Below she took note of the fox leaving before responding the strange 10-armed creature hovering in front of her. He seemed friendly enough, and for the time being Moonshine was a blank slate when it came to predacons and maximals.

"Certainly! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to assist you and your comrades."

Her voice was friendly and inquisitive.

"Not a thing"

Xzuk knew this alliance wouldn't last long once they'd regrouped...

"Glowstick? This is Xzuk. We're coming back with the pod."

Xzuk began to walk towards their blip on the radar. He didn't want to talk much with the predacon, lest he accidentally set him off....

Glowstick nodded Ofcourse, and likewise for yourself. he stated, his optic shifted for a moment noticing Snowtrix having vanished, but assumed such would of happened anyway.

Glowstick looked out towards the distance noticing Xzuk and Lineos closing in This is Glowstick, I see you closing in. Found another survivor, the snow fox fled.. Not that I'm surprised..

Glowstick then floated towards Xzuk and Lineos's area hovering above them both Huh.. looks more like you brought a meat locker then a stasis pod..
