Galvatron and Scourge follow the tank track.
they tip-toe across the landscape holding their laser cannon and sword over their shoulders....
Shhhhhhhhh.... Be vewy vewy qwiet!
We're hunting Awtobots!!!
HUHUHUUHUHUHUHUHU
Suddenly the tracks stop and there is no trace of Cambreakers' tracks.
SLAG!! He must have taken to the air!
Let's fly around! We can see more surroundings in the air!!

The Maus flies overhead and hovers above an industrial section of the city. Sideways pulls the datapad from his storage compartment and presses a button. An abandoned building's roof opens up and Sideways lands the Maus inside, the heavily fortified doors closing above him. The Maus lands gently and Sideways exits, heading for his labratory. As he nears the doors to the lab, he presses a series of codes on a datapad next to the door. A male voice indicates that the security system has been disabled and the doors hiss open. Sideways walks inside and the doors close behind him. In the back wall is a gigantic mainframe with a large console attached to it. Sideways walks over to it and inputs a couple of commands. The console screen lights up and a security feed of Iacon is displayed. He notices that Iacon still does not have it's own defense mainframe. Pressing another button on the console, a mainframe rises from the floor and Sideways begins to hook it up. The mainframe boots to life and Sideways inserts a disk, preparing to install a temporary software while the new mainframes are being built.

OOC: Im back, but maybe not long. Using the tv with the computer lol.
After dropping his passengers, Dinobot requests Sludge accompany him to search for Blackjack. Sludge, i'll need your strength to help lift him aboard if we find him. Dinobot closes the door and he along with Sludge head out into Cybertron, I hope we can have some luck, after all thats Blackjack's forte.

Having flown countless times before, Minerva isn’t fazed by the fall towards Iacon. She is however surprised to hear Cambreakers confession. She feels like she should say something in response, but is at loss of words. She closes her optics for a few kliks, feeling only the wind and her hands in his. Despite falling fast towards the ground she feels safe, thinking that this might be what he meant by being okay with falling.
Opening her optics she smiles at him.
I think I might understand what you mean …and, well, I don’t see any reason to why you would have to get on Sideways’ freighter at all.
Glancing to her altimeter she decides it’s time to prepare for landing. Looking up she sees that Cambreaker has noticed it too. She watches him control the rocket pack to slow down and take control of the fall, making it seem like he’s hardly done anything else for the last vorns.
They both land safely in the courtyard and is met by the other newly arrived Autobots.
She looks up to Cambreaker, impressed.
You certainly seem to have gotten used to flying again.

Cambreaker smiles a bit, feeling a bit self-conscious of his confession.
Yeah. A bit. Though, I see we've drifted a ways from the courtyard and the Decagon...
As Cam looks around, he sees the familiar streets of the government district. They're in a state of even greater disuse than the rest of Iacon... these streets, the ideas they held, have been out of use for FIVE million years... Since near the day the war began. The Autobot government failed to act, and crumbled under its own weight. There was no unity of purpose, no swiftness of action. All it took was one upstart miner in an illegal fighting ring. As the two begin to walk, Cam's eyes glaze over as his thoughts wander further. There it was... the Senatorium building. He'd served many vorns there. He was a young upstart too, trying to force the Senate and the Elders to take a more progressive stance on the civil unrest, the dwindling resources, and the multiplying problems of his people. When he hadn't been there, he was out in the world, gathering knowledge. He'd seen Megatron fight in the arena, even bet on him to get an inside glimpse of the illegal underworld of pit fighters and weapons marketers. He had an insight unlike any other Autobot... It came in handy when the war started, he knew his opponent. He remembered being nicknamed "Cambreaker" for his overdrive approach to every situation. There was the theatre where the most famous acts would come to present to the Elders their talents. Cambreaker attended all those shows, the depth and scope of culture relaxed him. So much exotic beauty expressed in the fine arts... That dancer...
Cambreaker?
Hm?
He turned to Minerva, embarassed to have not heard her question.

Upon landing, Minerva deactivates her rocket pack and looks around, seeing the ruins of the long ago abandoned and destroyed buildings. She’d seen the sight before, but it still made her feel uneasy. She turns her attention away from the devastation to Cambreaker.
Yeah we managed to drift a bit more than I thought, but it shouldn’t take us long to get back.
As they begin their walk through what’s left of the once lively streets, she thinks back to the days before the war. The area is familiar to her, and how could she ever forget? Memories of her previous life wash over her and she finds them almost overwhelming. Even though much time has passed since those days, she can still remember them vividly; her friends, the theater, the performances …how she missed it all. And then there was Him. How she’d managed to pick him out in the crowds she’d never know, but there he was. She’d never have thought she’d see him again, but smiles to herself as she feels his calming presence next to her.
She sighs and shakes her head, nostalgic trip over, and turns her attention back to their surroundings. She is still wary of Decepticon attacks, even though the Iacon defences would have alerted them if they’d tried anything.
She looks to Cambreaker, who’s still walking by her side, seemingly lost in thought.
Cam…? She asks, but receives no answer.
Cambreaker? She inquires, and this time she gets a reaction from him. He starts, turns to her and looks at her questioningly, and she thinks she can notice a slight embarrassment.
She chuckles at how lost he looked for a moment and then smiles at him.
I’m sorry; I didn’t realize you were that deep in thought. Is everything alright?

Yes... Yes, I am. I was just thinking about music. It's been 61 thousand vorns since I've heard music. I can still hear the song in my memory banks that played during the performance you presented to the Senate and the Elders...Every now and then, that music echoes eerily hollow in my spark chamber, because even though I hear it, no one is playing it. Let's transform and hurry back. I think I might have something important in my belongings...

Whatever Minerva was expecting for a reply, this wasn’t it.
Her wonder at his words is followed by a pang of sadness. She is about to speak, but Cambreaker continues before she has a chance to voice her questions.

He transforms. Minerva does the same and follows him, trying to figure out what’s going on.
Wait! What do you mean?

Cambreaker transforms as he replies, his melancholy remembrances dissolving in his excitement. His spark leaps to think he might still have that artifact around, after all these thousands of vorns.
Come on, you'll see! I've been saving it for just the right time, to share it with just the right 'bot.
He burns rubber for the military quarters near the Decagon command room, where he had deposited his belongings before having to evacuate Iacon. Hopefully the Decepticons hadn't destroyed that, too...

Cambreaker drives off in a hurry and Minerva almost has a hard time keeping up with him. She noticed the excitement in his voice and he's made her very curious. She makes a sharp turn to avoid parts of a collapsed wall and then speeds up, not wanting to lose him. She’s so focused on following him at high speed through the streets, that when he stops all of a sudden, she's caught off guard. She screeches to a halt mere inches from him.
They both transform and Minerva looks around, but because of the destruction surrounding them, she isn’t sure exactly where they are. Cambreaker walks into a badly damaged building and Minerva runs after him, wanting to know what's going on.
Wait up! Where are we going?

Cambreaker grabs her hand, excited now, seeing this building even survived. Running down the stairs and through the tunnels, he begins to explain, but doesn't finish before they reach the door.
My crew quarters! I thought for sure the 'cons would have ransacked all these buildings while they were here, but they must have been less busy than we thought....
He forces the door open, since the security mainframe is dead, and dives for a large protective crate meant for carrying delicate scientific insturments, and opens it. His eyes grow bright with wonder as he lifts the device out, as though he's never seen the familiar item before. It has a large tangle of precisely shaped loops of wire protruding from its top surface, and several atmosphere filled resonator cones inset to its face. He powers it on, and a small crystal in the center of the base, barely visible through the delicate antennae, illuminates. He sets it solemnly on the desk after entering into his comms his location, and not to disturb him unless it's important.
Do you remember....
The device begins to hum, a harmonious mid-tone chord that trills with the brightness of the music of the spheres. As he brings his hands close, the tone changes, as if he pulls a bit of the note into each of the wires, to split it into several different notes, pulsing outward with a gentle, slow vibratto and a haunting tone. He flexes some of his fingers, as though sculping the sound in the air, and the tone changes...

Minerva holds Cambreakers hand tight and lets him lead the way through the unfamiliar corridors.
As they finally arrive to their destination she watches as he picks something up from an old and battered crate. She tries to peek over his shoulder but can’t make out what the object is at first, not having seen anything like it for a very long time. All of a sudden the room fills with familiar tunes and Minerva freezes.
Do you remember this?
Her eyes widen in recognition and she does not move for several moments, just focusing on the music.
She looks at Cambreaker, sadness in her optics and voice, but with a smile on her lips.
Yes, I remember...

Minerva is taken aback by Cambreakers question and blushes through her still present smile.
Meeting his gaze she replies;
I… I’d love to.
Taking a few steps back to get enough space she closes her eyes and concentrates on the tune once more. She becomes insecure for a moment, as she’s not sure if she will remember after all this time, but as the tune continues and grows stronger she easily falls into the melody. She focuses on and moves with the flow of the music, its soft tunes making it feel almost like a wonderful dream. How she had missed this!
She continues her dance, almost oblivious to her audience who is watching her every move.

Sideways leans back in his chair and relaxes. He sits up.
Computer, set some repair droids on The Maus and have them check it from head to toe. I want a report ASAP.
<Command Acknowledged, Sideways. I'll have the bots get right on it. In the mean time, I think you should head back to the command center and check the place out.>
Good point. Can you find me parts for a new Defense Mainframe and have them sent to Iacon for me? The old ones are junk and I don't want Iacon's defenses running piggyback for long.
<I will do what I can. You might want to take a look at the security feed, I believe the camera's picked up a couple of Decepticons in the outskirts of Iacon.>
I don't like the sound of that. Keep the auto-defenses online and disable anything that breaches the perimeter. I'll be in touch.
Sideways heads for the exit and leaves, locking the security door behind him. He leaves the perimiter of the fortress and transforms, burning rubber as he makes for Iacon.

As Cambreaker delves deeper into the music, he livens the pace and begins to flick his fingers in such a way that the music flickers and pulses, and he watches as Minerva's dance follows suit. He remembers now, seeing her do this portion. His optics bobbed side to side, following her on the stage. Of course, at the time she was at liberty to dance to a full orchestra. Cambreaker's cares melted away, as the music he rendered from the lonely, dusty instrument surrounded Minerva completely, and her art playing out before him surrounded his processor completely. The pitch and thrum of their celebration rings through the hallways of the military quarters.
