The Ætherspite (Cambreaker's frigate)
Sideways flips on the passenger viewscreens, and the Ætherspite comes into view. It is small for a warship, but since most Autobot and Decepticon warships had been destroyed in the war, many of those aboard the shuttle had never seen such a craft. It is comprised of a long barlike torso, the front of which is capped by a large crescent shaped bridge and battlestation area, like a broad axehead forward facing on it's hilt. From the tail rises the command tower, which is leaning slightly forward like a scorpion's tail. The entire ship is a pockmarked and stained light grey, very flat against the blackness of space. Guidelights indicate a shuttle bay opened into the side of the ship's trunk. Two more identical shuttles grace the landing pad inside.
Cambreaker listens to all go silent as they approach the mighty warship...
That's the Ætherspite, isn't it? Home sweet home.
Sideways begins to guide the shuttle deftly into the landing bay.

As the shuttle gets closer to the Ætherspite Minerva relaxes a bit, knowing that they’re finally safe …at least for now.
Hearing the other autobots enthusiastic comments abut the frigate lifts her spirits as well.
Most of them have sustained injuries of various degrees, but the Ætherspite has the equipment needed for their repairs.
She glances to Cambreaker sitting beside her and can’t help smile to herself.
You were right, we all made it out alive …I shouldn’t have doubted you, she thinks.
She reaches out to hold one of his hands, and squeezes it gently.

Cambreaker is a little taken offguard by the small hand squeezing his. He had really not thought about how things were like this... He knows everyone else is looking at the Ætherspite, so he squeezes her hand back gently. And holds it for now, while the others still inspect the ship.
Yes, Snarl, this will be home for a while. I think we will be able to find you a nice big room aboard where you will be able to play and not break anything. Sideways, tell me when we're aboard and the docking clamps are locked. We'll have some procedures to go through before we disembark the shuttle and board the 'Spite.
Actually Rattrap, this is far newer than a lot of the classic warships you may have heard about, like the Nemesis and the Ark, and smaller. It was also made for galactic patrol duties, so it's relatively light on energon as far as modern technology is concerned.

Oh great, im trying to go get some energon drinks, and snarl falls right to sleep in the exit! Oh well, let me help you garbage muncher! Dinobot tosses Rattrap over the sleeping dino, and then hurls himself over.
Sitting at the bar with Rattrap, dinobot starts asking questions. Rattrap, when we arrived to Iacon, you were in your old beast form, how and why did you change? I ask because I may be looking to upgrade myself.

After the docking clamps are locked, Cambreaker has the shuttle thoroughly scanned for tracking bugs, contaminations, or anything else of the sort. Each 'bot is also scanned upon disembarking into the belly of the Ætherspite. They are each given a schematic of the ship's main layout, and told to report to the forward bridge in one megacycle. The ship lunges into transwarp space, once all are security-cleared...
Cambreaker is one of the last off the shuttle. He stands slowly, feeling about for the grab handle by the door.

Rattrap sips his energon and ponders.
I don't know exactly. Near as I can figure it, the transwarp explosion must have had a reversed the effect of that quantum surge back on Earth. Its a shame Rhinox isn't here, that big guy would have it figured out in an astrosecond. I'll bet they've got a repair station somewhere on this huge boat, bet we can score you an upgrade there.
Rattrap sits back in his chair and enjoys the feeling of the excess energon revitalizing his circuits.

Cliffjumper feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns and sees a red 'bot only a little bigger than he is. The 'Bot offers her hand.
'Names Redline. Let's get your friend here to medical. Help me get him out of this big steel death trap...
They pull Blackjack out of the exo-suit and get him on a hoverstretcher. The stretcher reads all of 'Jacks life signs are stable. While Blackjack is delivered to the med bay, Redline and Cliffjumper try to figure out how to work the Royal Flush and deliver it to the armory so the shuttle can undergo repairs. Redline hops in, being about Blackjack's size.
You know how to work this thing?
Meanwhile...
Cambreaker and Minerva make their way to his quarters. He fumbles about the room, looking for something for a moment. Minerva catches his hand gently and guides it to the stasis pod, which had been unloaded from the shuttle. He opens it carefully, and reaches out to Leozack's face. He feels the glassy transparisteel covers of the eye lenses... no cracks.
I want these. No sense in assembling from scratch... He won't be needing them. Meanwhile, get Double Clutch in here. I want Leozack's spark imprisoned. Can't be too careful. As soon as I can see, we'll gather up the entire crew and have a little talk.
Cambreaker, you're still injured and losing fluids!
I'll be fine enough to give a meeting. I'll sit down if I have to. It'll take long enough to get some optics installed, I promise I'll go right to a CR after the meeting. Most of the bots should be well healed by then.
