Iacon

[Dinobot]

Oh my aching head! Dinobot wakes up after a long nap only to have a splitting energon overload headache. Well thats enough drinking for a while. I need something to take the edge off. Dinobot stops by the Iacon coffeegon shop for some juices to take the pain away. He makes his rounds of the base defenses and sees the jumpstarters dozing. YOU TWO! He yells. The jumpstarters snap to attention and salute. Wake up, we dont need any surprises while most of us are scattered through the city. they both reply, Yes sir commander Dinobot!

Afterwards, Dinobot heads to the communications center in the Iacon spire. He sits at the control panel with his orange energon juice, puts his feet on the console and watches the monitors of cybertron for any activity.

[Sideways]

Let's take this thing for a spin, Rev! Help me find and load some old mainframes, I have a project assigned by Cambreaker that I need to get finished.

Sure! Where are these mainframes?

There should be some in this place somewhere. I have yet to fully explore it.

Sideways and Rev leave the hangar and begin their search through the unexplored sections of the factory.

[Grimlock]

* Grimlock has made her way back to Iacon, leaving Sludge and Snarl passed out in the bar. She is making her way towards the communication spire when she gets the communication from Dirge. She pauses for a moment. She knows that Dirge is a Decepticon now, he is not the Dirge she once knew. The Dirge from before the war was a different robot then, it had broken her heart when he had joined the Decepticons. Still, she wondered what he could want after all this time. She had always hoped that Dirge would see sense and join the Autobots, maybe that is what he wanted. Grimlock decided to respond to the communication and meet Dirge. *

" Me Grimlock say me meet you there, but me warn you, me Autobot, you Decepticon. Me tell no-one that me meet you, me come alone. "

* With that, Grimlock changed in to Dinosaur mode and began making her way to the Iacon main gates *

[Time Traveller]

Cambreaker, Swift, Redline, and Rattrap roll into Iacon after further touring and inspection at Tagon, of the Demolisher project. Just then, Cam's multiband receivers pick up the enemy communications. <The new, miraculously resurrected dinobot, eh?> Cam thinks, his suspicions flashing to how the Decepticons could have rigged up an impostor so quickly with their facilities destroyed.

Blackjack, this is Cam. I need you to track unit 'Grimlock' at a distance and see what she's up to. A sloppy Decepticon comm has raised my suspicion of our new dinobot's allegiance. Cam out.

Cam calls over his tightbeam. Transforming as the four arrive in the ops building, Cam turns to Rattrap and the others.

So what do you say, should we hop on the 'Spite and go find some trouble?

[Blackjack]

As he is approaching Iacon, Grimlock stomps through the gates and begins charging off into the distance. Although, he notes it as a little strange, Blackjack pays it no mind until a moment later when he receives a comm from Cambreaker.

Sounds like fun, he replies, just what I need to shake the cobwebs out. And, Cammy I suppose I should let ya know I'll be bringin' back at least one Decepticon prisoner for ya.

He changes directions and begins following Grimlock towards Cybertron's wasteland.

[Sideways]

I've never been this far in before. This place might become more useful in time once we explore.. Wait, over there!

Sideways points to what seems to be a large room filled with old equipment.

There's gotta be something useful in there, let's go check it out.

I got a funny feeling about this..

Put it behind you for now. We need mainframes for Project Paranoia.

[Dinobot]

Dinobot plops down into his seat onboard the fighter he saw Sideways working on. I hope he doesn't mind too much hehe. He hits the main power buttons and the fighter rumbles to life. Boy, he really knows his tech. Rhinox would be proud. Dinobot ponders for a moment his brief time with his former comrade.

As dinobot starts familiarizing himself with the systems, a screen comes on and there is a very angry face of Sideways staring right back at him. Before he could speak Dinobot jumped in. Hey Sideways, I commandereed this baby for a little test run, hope you dont mind. Im gonna run some assistance for the Crusaders, as well as some recon of my own.

[Sideways]

Sideways' HUD indicates that one of the fighters he had customized had been turned on. The automated security system had done it's job, locking out the controls. Sideways patches into the fighter's systems and deactivates the security protocols. He speaks to Dinobot via an encrypted radio frequency.

Don't scare me like that, Dinobot. What's mine is everybody's. Do try and take care of it. Those things aren't cheap. I deactivated the security system, you should have full control.

[Galvatron]

Blackjack and the disguised Galvatron arrive at Iacon.

All the Autobots give the 2 a strange look as they wonder why Galvatron is wearing such a hideous disguise.

[Blackjack]

((OOC. Good enough. Sorry it's been taking so long.))

As they arrive back at Iacon, Blackjack wonders where Cambreaker could be at the moment. He starts walking towards the security office, but is a little wary of showing a Decpeticon, especially one of high rank, everything they done to increase security. Instead he decides to comm. Cambreaker.

Hey, Cammy. This is 'Jack, got a 'con here who I'm taking to you fer...uh...questionin'. Where can I find ya? I gotta report about my reconnaissance mission too.

[Galvatron]

Galvatron listens in on Blackjacks call to Cambreaker.
Reconnaissance mission?
What might that be Autobot?

[Blackjack]

For a moment, Blackjack considered telling Galvatron to shove his questions up his tailpipe and to mind his own business. But then he wondered what the Decepticons might do to the blue jet if they found out he was having a relationship with one of the Autobot dinobots.

Well, Grimlock took off from Iacon in a hurry and I was asked to follow her. Seems she was goin' to meet up with Dirge and they seem to be quite a hot item from what I can tell.

[Time Traveller]

Cambreaker and Swift soon arrive on the ground in Iacon.

Blackjack, restrain the prisoner and meet me in the questioning chamber by the brig. Who did you snag?

[Galvatron]

Well, Grimlock took off from Iacon in a hurry and I was asked to follow her. Seems she was goin' to meet up with Dirge and they seem to be quite a hot item from what I can tell.

If that conehead is thinking about becoming friends with Autbotos, I will turn him into scrap and feed him to that dino dote Grimlock!!

Galvatron sees Cambreaker arrive...
He adjusts his mask and clown nose to prevent from being discovered.

Greetings sir, I am Doctor Giggatron!
I come as a prisoner to this this Autobot as my only way of personally reaching you.
I mean you no harm.
I actually have a gift for you.

[Time Traveller]

Cambreaker, Swift, Minerva, Blackjack and Galvatron arrive in the questioning chamber, Minerva and Blackjack with their rifles ready, and Cambreaker leaning casually on his axe. Cam notices Galvatron's right arm is twice as thick under his sleeve as his left.

Blackjack, why did you bring a fully armed Decepticon into the city?

Cambreaker recognizes the sneering voice and the orange cannon barrel stretching the right coat sleeve and matches it with the Decepticon entry in his mental database.

Galvatron is it? I didn't realize you'd gotten your Ph.D. What do you want here? Wasn't your go-kart fiasco enough?

[Sideways]

There.

Sideways points to a room to the left of the hallway. Sideways and Rev make their way over to the room, aided by Sideways' rather bright headlamps, which serve as the sole light source.

This looks useful.

...

Another useable part for Project Paranoia.

[Galvatron]

Galvatron is it? I didn't realize you'd gotten your Ph.D. What do you want here? Wasn't your go-kart fiasco enough?

Galva-who?! I am Dr. Giggatron. My specialty involves creating new formula's of fuel. I brought you a sample

Just as "Dr. Giggatron" said the word sample
a quick punch to the mid section of Cambreaker wich caused the shocked autobot to hunch forward
then he rips the sleeve of his lab jacket off of his right arm and blasts Blackjack. Hitting him in the arm and causing him to fall backwards over the integrigation desk. Before Swift was able to draw her weapon, another blast from Galvatron's laser cannon fired in her direction causing Swift to duck behind the desk and fall on top of Blackjack.
Pointing his cannon towards Minerva, she freezes in her tracks.
Galvatron glares at the fembot medic an grabs the still hunched over Cambreaker by the back of the head. Holding his head in place, Galvatron slams his knee into the forehead of Cambreaker causing him to fall backwards.

As Blackjack and Swift stumble over each other to attempt to rise to their feet, Galvatron takes his "Preperation H" formula and shoves it up Cambreaker's exhaust pipe. Everyone in Iacon can hear the scream...

YEEEEOOOWWW!!!!!!

After he finished dumping the "formula" he rises to find 2 loaded weapons pointing in the back of his head from Blackjack and Swift.

[Time Traveller]

Cambreaker stands, in a somewhat odd stance, and removes the now empty container, casting it aside. He tosses his head like a lion flicking its mane, then lurches forward, axe in hand, and clutching his abdomen.

Damnit Galvatron, I KNOW you're not Gigatron!What the slag is this ABOUT?


THIS IS ABOUT MY EMPIRE!!! This is about your DESTRUCTION! At LAST, you have been PREPARED for your doom!!!

Cambreaker's mind races as he looks upon this madman, raving about his victory, though clearly outnumbered by Cam's Autobot allies. Suddenly, it hits him. The crate that seemed to flop back and forth on Cam's truck bed before finally falling off near a bridge. The Go-Kart. The free oil can, dropping a weight on Snarl's head. The fake tunnel made from strange earth bricks. The random screams of pain that seemed to follow Cam from a distance. A...B...C...D, E, F, G, and now Preparation H...

...But WHY? You HAVE no empire! You are subservient to Megatron!

Cambreaker's entire exhaust system seems to lurch and shift inside him, from Energon pump to Catalytic Energon Convertor. He internally switches to his emergency reserve tank, temporarily bypassing the affected system. He stands up straighter, preparing his axe, and waiting to see what this maniac says next.

[Minerva]

With Galvatrons gun pointed at her, Minerva can only watch horrified as Galvatron puts his "Preparation H"-formula to use.
As he finally backs off, Cambreaker gets up to steady himself. Minerva takes the opportunity to quickly draw her own weapon, aiming it resolutely at Galvatron as well. There was no way she'd let him get away with this, second in command of the Decepticons or not. She casts a concerned glance to Cambreaker, watching as he confronts Galvatron. The room falls silent as they all wait for Galvatron to respond.

[Galvatron]

Ignoring all consequences of his actions, Galvatron only focuses on Cambreakers optics...

The time for chasing you is over Autobot.
Time and time again I have tried to destroy you.
Time and time again, I have failed and was the one that suffered injury.

But now, it's YOUR turn!
For the future of all decepticons! I will go down in history as a hero!

As Galvatron gives his "glorious" speech he notices Cambreakers' optics start to shift.
Condonsation begins to pour from his cranium.
A rumbling sound begins in his abdomen section.
Then a loud burst of backfire shoots out of Cambreaker's exhaust pipe.

BLAM!!

Cambreaker is so cramped up he asks Galvatron what was done to him.

BLAM!! Cambreaker moans in pain from the horrible backfire. The other Autobots try to shut down their nasal processors. (why bots need to smell or have noses, i have no idea)

This is pure poison Autobot. It will cause your internal organs to rust.
It will Translate your vocal processor into Swahili
Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs.
Erase your hard drive and your backups too
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie,
It's gonna melt your face right off your skull
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep
And make you physically attracted to sheep
Steal your identity and your credit card
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place

After singing the strange lyrics from a "Weird Al" Yankovic song.. Galvatron explains that he mixed methane gas with petrol and diesel fuel.

Methane gas, petrol and diesel fuel.

BLAM!!

You degenerate Decepticon!! That will only cause me to get bad backfire!

BLAM!!

Galvatron looks puzzled after seeing confidence in Cambreaker's eyes.

BLAM!!!
BLAM!!!
BLAM!!!!

OOOOooohhh the agony!
