The Intergalactic Highway

"No complaints from this predacon. However, I have one question. What do you plan on doing with my pod?"

Blast. If only that... squid hadn't assigned groups, I could have killed that Maximal

Glowstick turns looking at Lineos Well originally it was assumed there would be some form of data in there.. to help with this sorta thing. But it seems they just don't have that.

So essentially what we have here is a cash of parts.In the right hands a great deal of things can be made or repaired using one of these.

You can do whatever you want with it,take it with you, leave it behind.. whatever floats your boat.. Glowstick then closes the panel on the stasis pod.

Snow Trix leaped onto a near by boulder looking in th distance, her scanners only picking up heat radiation from the surrounding area of organic animals but no cybertronians. Frowning in sight disppointment she thought of what else to do before they started off again but ntohing seemed to come to mind. Wiht a sigh she looked down then jumped landing in soft sand without much noise. "So are we going? or jsut stand around here all night until we rust?" She asked.

"I won't be able to last very long tracking the unknown signature, so maybe our group could perform the exploration task along the western route," said Orcariner, "Make sure we stay in radio contact."

Turning towards Xzuk and Moonshine, he asked.

"I'm big enough to carry the both of you. Shall I be your ride?"

"I don't mind grinding gears and firing up my servos... but thanks for the offer."

Xzuk had taken a liking to the running... it was much different than having wheels... or brakes for that matter..

"Besides, I've got jump jets... just in case you guys really do pull that far ahead.."

He turned back to Glowstick with a simple question.

"How do we keep in contact? The interference will no doubt knock out any long range comm work..."

He laughs a bit nervously Well in this case, we probably wont be able to communicate. Our radios work better over the interference, so I suppose bird girl will be your best hope at detecting or broadcasting anything. That's why I selected the teams based off their traits and skills, in case anything happens out there. Worse comes to worse you could do Smoke signals or something, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Glowstick then looked towards Snowtrix If any of us are going to be rusting, I assume it'd be the woman who smeared mud all over her body to make up for her lack of camouflage. Would you like me to give you a bath? he finished in a sarcastic tone, then cackled for a moment.

(ooc: lol @ GLowstick!!)

ic:

Moonshine had been circling overhead and overheard some of the comments made, some of which caused her to snicker.

She still wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but as this group of survivors were the only ones she knew she thought it best to stay close and make sure none of them got injured.

"Aye aye! Oh, and my name is Moonshine.," she responded to the request of keeping an eye out and finally broke out of her circling pattern to land for a short while.

"Nice to meet all of you!," she announced with a nod upon landing on the ground, before turning her attention to Orcariner. "For now I'm fine but I may take you up on that offer a little later," she responded.

Snow Trix bristled slightly giving Glowstick a growl, "I will if it keeps me alive GLowstick. Unlike you I'm not transpareant and odn't move in the ocean." Not bothering to wait for the others she started off still bristled with anger. Okay so the mud was wet and made her fur uncomforatble but what else could SNow Trix do? It was for improvising on her snow white pelt, it wasn't liek foxes didn't have enemies that could pcik he rup when in easy sight, unlike Xzuk she wasn't going to blend well in such an environment.

""Of course my blasted pod ends up scanning a Artic fox with a white pelt instead of a brown and white or somethign reddish." She muttered to herslef. But one thing for sure was she hated the mud right now! Grumbling she looked further inland coming to a creek that went up to her belly holding ehr breathe and duncking under the sruface then roling on her bakc letting the mud rush away off her fur.

At last she came from the water and shook the remaing water off ehr fur but it fluffed out upon drying.

Glowstick transformed to robot mode Well I guess that's all.. Squid team out. Have fun. he gave a salute with his tentacle as he took off into the air, hearing the sound of water he looked down noticing Snow trix cleaning in the creak.

He descended from the air transforming to his squid mode again as he landed in the water Oh good, we're out of earshot.. what a boring day this is going to lead to. Well, the plan seems solid enough so I suppose I'll just float along and see where the current takes me. You and the lizard can do whatever you want. Ciao

Glowstick then started to float along, partially on the surface of the creak with hopes of leading into the eastern river. He folded his tentacles while his feeder tentacles went behind his mantle in a relaxed pose, light seen dancing over his transparent form while techno music could be heard playing from his internal sound system.

Interacting with the maximals and acting so productive for so long was starting to get to him, his mind wondered if he was really suited for the Axalon work he got. You can hide your true nature, but you can never get rid of it's desires.. how annoying.. he then said to himself, pondering if he'd just end up like the other predacons, thuggish at best. Only the millitary class showing the skill necessary to truly take down the maximals to bring equality to the predacons, but with the cold war on cybertron nothing would be achieved..

Glowstick's transparent eyelids slid half open in an annoyed look as he went into the eastern river making a yawn noise What a hassle..

SNow Tirx followed along the river deep in thought of things. Maybe this wasn't that good of an idea after all, there wasn't much to the other survivors and none of them seemed a threat fromt he MAximals except the killer whale to which she decided to avoid for now. "Hmmm...."Sniffing the air Snow Trix didn't have any new cents or catch a signal any where else. "Seems pointless to be put into a stasis pod then end up on this hunk of junk of a palnet. It's nothing but a large dirtball with organic thigns and such, it's a wonder why Megatron chose this place to extract energon." She said.

Following Xzuk's lead, Orcariner transformed into his robot mode and proceeded to shadow the other two Maximals as they walked towards the west river bank. Walking through the tall trees was a difficult task for the giant who was over eighteen feet tall standing upright. However, Orcariner still tried to maintain close proximity over the fox. If any of nature's predators tried to assault the group, the killer whale would take the hit. The Maximal holstered his carbine rifle and one of his arm blades.

My aim's too shoddy with that gun if we get jumped. Better stick with what I know.

Slashing through the plants, he continued to march.

Xzuk turned back to his team.

"Well bots. Lets move out, shall we?"

His databanks began replaying images from when he ran to meet Glowstick... there was no water in that direction... luckily he'd already surveyed most of it.. but he doubted he would have missed anything.

"I'm curious as to what this organic planet has to offer..."

Apart from the rustling of leaves and the howls of the animal life around them, the scenery was fairly uneventful. Xzuk and Orcariner made their way through the forest while Moonshine kept a watchful eye from above. Not much time has passed, but the larger Maximal could sense the awkward silence. Trying to strike up a conversation to pass the time, Orcariner spoke up.

"So," he said to Xzuk, "What did you do before arriving on this mysterious world?"

Xzuk, being a scout, trusted the semi- silence. It wasn't too quiet, so there was no assault waiting, but it wasn't too loud, so he could hear everything. Then Orcariner tried to strike up small talk.

He must not be used to the silence.

Xzuk smiled before responding.

"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."

SNow Trix paused, this was useless in searching like this, "I'm going to scout ahead btu stay clsoe enough to keep in contacct." She said to Glowstick then dashed ahead trough the bushes. "Terroze!" Transofmring SNow Trix jumped t a branch and climbed to the top to hopefully have a better view.
