Magnus, Ironhide, Red Alert, Groove, Hound, Spike, Sureshot, Bumper, Ratchet, and Minerva too- she'll be able to see Ratchet working on Optimus... Devcon.
Prowl stared at a monitor with a frown thinking about those that needed to know Optimus' status. The bounty hunter should not have gotten into the hall, but had made it there before he had been able to seal it. More than that however, Prowl was getting an alarming signal from the holodeck. The timer had been going for far longer than any set of training sequences ever should have.
Dinobots - hmmm. Grimlock - that's a risk, but he should know too - and I should check on their status.
He hit a button for an intercom signal to the holodeck. "Grimlock, report to security chambers."
While waiting for a response, he turned his attention to the more pressing matter. Prowl didn't trust Devcon. In his understanding, the bounty hunter was little better than a mercenary, and certainly couldn't be left with their leader and medics alone.
"Affirmative Red. I will assign them to deal with the human."
Flipping a channel, Prowl called Windcharger and Powerglide.
"Windcharger, Powerglide, report to level 2 hallway D to ensure capture of the trespassing human. Use care in securing the individual, and be prepared for any weaponry that may be carried." Last thing we need are more jammers.

Holodeck:
Grimlock: -activates commlink- "Nice you finally decide to check up. Me and Dinobots stuck on holodeck. Throttlebot Wideload get brainwashed at some point, reprogramming kick in, and him start sabotaging things. Including holodeck. Us unable to get out. Program keep sending second rate Decepticon leaders at us."

Makeshift Medbay, Fort Max:
Minerva: -walks in, sees what's happened- "Holy...... buckets."
Prowl motioned at Smokescreen and pointed to a computer terminal, then turned his attention back to Grimlock. Completely calm, he immediately started typing at a blistering pace, rapidly rerouting and reprograming the holodeck.
"22.67 seconds to manual deactivation of the holodeck Grimlock. We will see to Wideload as soon as possible."
----------
Suddenly understanding what he needed to do, Smokescreen turned to the terminal and glanced at Silencer as he noticed the Nebulon. "Hello Silencer! Are you here to help me?"
----------
Ultra Magnus hurried his pace back towards the meeting room as he heard Blaster announce the human's intrusion.
Strange times. One human should be little trouble.
----------
Spike felt his stomach turn unexpectedly. The damage to the autobots was about the most extreme he had ever seen, and Minerva's reaction indicated that it might be the same for her as well.
The question couldn't be held back.
"Can they be fixed?"

"Acknowledged, Prowl." Red Alert paused as the door started to slide open. "Stand by."
The security officer stepped up to Minerva, holding his rifle conspicuously across his chest. He stepped very precisely between the Headmaster medic and Prime.
"Pay no attention to that. Hound and Mirage need your services. Tend to them, then leave. Tell no one what you saw. Understood?"

"Saved by Prowl..."
Snarl pushed himself off the ground, shaking his head slowly as the holographic Decepticons disappeared. He glanced across at Grimlock.
"You know we're never gonna hear the end'a this, boss?"

Entry, Fort Max:
Chromedome: -looks at the ID card, looks back at Nick, looks at the ID card and the datestamp on it- "Mr. Stellmacher, you do realize that this card is over 15 years old, don't you? And I wasn't here 3 years ago, so I have no idea what you're talking about." -activates commlink- "Ultra Magnus, there's a human with a long out of date ID card here who claims to know you. His name is Nick Stellmacher. Have you ever heard of him?"
*******************
Holodeck:
Grimlock: -looks over at Snarl- "It simple. Next time you see me and Prowl together, you say, 'Grimlock! No! Not kill Prowl!!!'. That way, we save Prowl's life. Not owe him anymore." -thinks for a moment- "Me suggest you try to sound more convincing than Me can."
********************
Makeshift Medbay:
Minerva: -locks optics with Red Alert- "Has it occoured to you that the body Ratchet is working on over there is pretty much unidentifiable? It could be anybody. Hound's not in much better shape, but he still resembles Hound. Go around acting suspicious, and people'll think you're hiding something." -heads over to Hound, starts working on him-

Had the situation been less grim, Red Alert would have laughed in Minerva's face. But considering what was happening, he found it hard to do anything but narrow his optics and glare at the medic.
"Who do you think you're talking to? Of course I'm hiding something. That's my job. You should stick to yours."
Besides, the Autobots should expect this sort of behaviour from me by now. Crazy old Red, always glancing around suspiciously and gunning down random passers-by...
That, he did have to laugh about. But it wasn't a particularly pleasant laugh.

Snarl chuckled.
"Or I could just letcha kill him. That'd shut everyone up."
He frowned. "No one would ever try to save us again, but I don't plan to get stuck like this again any time soon."

IC: By the time Windcharger got to the corridor not only was Chromedome already there, but so where Stripes, Cubby and Steeljaw.
"Well so much for that one!" He muttered. "Prowl, it looks like Chromedome got your message first. Well him, or Blaster's cassettes."
Windcharger stepped forward looking down at the human.
"You get the fun job of coming with me!" Windcharger said with mock excitement holding his hand out to Nick
~~
Sideswipe jumped off the medical slab and rubbed his chest. He nodded to Brainstorm and then walked from the medical bay. "Thanks!" He shot back as he left.

Brawn transformed in to his vehicle mode and the large drill flipped out of the hood.
"Right here Ironhide. Just point where you want that hole!"

The blackened figure of the veteran engineer watched Sideswipe leave, then waved at Brainstorm, his 'ears' flashing as he inquired quietly "Can I get looked at now?"

Devcon just silently nodded at Red Alert as the security officer approved his presence, then he shut the door and leant against it, almost like he was stopping anyone else wandering in, then the blue mech quietly watched the others and their reactions.

"Ah, Ironhide" Grapple replied, turning his attention away from Brawn who the architect looked ready to hit "I called you because of your mining knowledge" then he moved to show the others a map of the area selected for the tunnel "The safest spot seems to be here"
The large sabre-toothed cat glanced past the trio, watching the minibot known as Cliffjumper drive past them on perimeter patrol, then stepped out from under the tree into a more sunny area and flopped down, observing the digging crews.

"So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave" - Captain Mal Reynolds

Landfill pulled up his work temporarily halted until the spoil from the tunnel was ready for dispersal.
Flintlock : glad that was over , your covered in mud though I need to scrub you down.
Landfill grumbled good naturedly but pulled over to a water standpipe not far from where Catilla was sunning himself.
Flintlock grabbed a shammy and bucket and slung some hose pipe over his shoulder.
He jumped down and connected the hose and turned the tap on the spray of water making rainbow patterns in the air as he played over Landfill's muddy form .

A momentary hesitation in Prowl's typing caught Smokescreen's attention, and his attention instinctively diverted to the strategist's hands and face in time to see the slightest hint of a veiled pained look. With surprise and concern, he noted the burns on the hands and fingers as the typing resumed, as well as paint residue on Prowl's neck.
Something hot happened. Those are bad burns.
His attentive gaze wasn't missed by the black and white autobot, but instead, it was obviously being ignored. Catching himself quickly and taking the hint, Smokescreen nodded to Silencer with a welcoming expression. "Help is always appreciated. There are many items to aquire, and navigating the channels in the human world can be difficult."
He brought up a file on his larger monitor.
"We need 3 - five karat diamonds, 72 - two karat diamonds for medical and engineering lazer replacements, 145 one karat diamonds 275 small, 2 inch filtering rubies and 17 half-inch emeralds... oh and one 3 inch sapphire to channel some sort of blue lazer. Then there's this parts list here--- assorted mufflers, shocks, timing chains, filters, gaskets, brakes and allignment pieces, and a few hood ornaments. We also need to locate turbine blades, intake valves, wing flap panels, rotors, uh --- and all these jet and helicopter flight parts I can't pronounce."
He grinned sheepishly at Silencer. "Not my style." Then he quickly added, "Last time I was able to get some of them from Boeing. They were short on the weaponry list thoiugh. See? We have to find these elements here so we can produce missiles."
Smokescreen quickly flipped to a list of steels, explosives, caustic chemicals and elements.

Silencer nodded
"at least with Tracks out of the way we wont need quite as many parts . Though I understand he orders his own. The raw materials will be the easiest .
Some of the more specialised stuff is going to be like wrestling a Kraable bear on an ice flow. Best place might be a human swap meet or auto jumble. The Aerospace stuffs gonna be tricky. Skyfires not a standard human design and we'll need to talk to NASA about stuff for Sky Lynx ."
Silencer tapped on his computer.
" theres a couple of A10 's for sale on here down in Mexico , so Powerglide shouldnt be a problem."

Prowl motioned with a nod to Grimlock as Ultra Magnus walked in.
"I'm sending a call to Ironhide to join us. Let's go into the conference room and we'll discuss matters there. I will brief you while we wait."

Smokescreen chuckled. "Those Krabble bears must be pretty tough, Silencer! The good news is that most of these items are for future stock with immediate needs only being some of the diamonds and elements for defenses. Let's take it one at a time. *pause* Feel like munching? I can order a pizza pie."

"Whuh-oh! We got problems!" Blaster said as he spun in his chair pushing off from one panel to the one accross from it.'
"Come on Skyspy, gimme a peek at this nuclear heat!" Blaster's voice was quick and heated as the image of the power plant came up on screen.
"Autobot Command. Prowl, Red Alert, Ultra Magnus! ANYONE! We have trouble with a capital 'N' for Nuclear!
