Medbay, Fort Max:
Brainstorm and Chromedome: -look up from the monitor, look down at Silencer-
Brainstorm: "Uh...... what's a shelia?"
****************
Shuttle Bay, Fort Max:
Fortress: -heads for the inercomm panel- "hardhead, get out there!"
Hardhead: -transforms, rolls out of the bay, heading towards the Sharkticons-
Fortress: -hits the red alert button, klaxons start blaring, light takes on a reddish tinge-
******************
Omega Shuttle:
Ironhide: -grabs onto his chair arms- "Ah knew we should'a taken th' bus........"
******************
Ground beneath the Omega Shuttle:
The commander of the small unit had fought battles like this before. He knew that had been a lucky shot. And he knew where to target next.
With a hissing noise, the ground to air missiles hissed towards the engines of the Omega Shuttle.
******************
The Sharkticons broke formation, one slipping away from the rest and finding a good vantage point to scan the Autobot ship.

Makeshift Medbay, Fort Max
"Mirage...?"
Prime weakly shrugged Ratchet's hand away, then managed to push himself up onto his elbows. He shot his medic and close friend a meaningful look; he knew Ratchet meant well, but he also knew that the spy's deepest wounds were ones that couldn't be fixed by a surgeon's hand.
I'll have to ask Smokescreen to keep an optic on him, but I hope...no, I know that I can start him on the road to healing.
"Mirage," he said more firmly. "Come here, my friend."

Red Alert looked at the transformed Devcon.
"Good," he said, nodding with approval. "Get to the main entry and meet Blaster. The two of you are taking a little trip."
After hearing Skyfall's SOS, he send a text-only message to Prowl.
Please see to Neos. I'm occupied.
Almost as an afterthought, he added three more words.
Prime is awake.

----------Outside Fort Max----------
Rosdos saw a Sharkticons's broken formation.
And he saw one of them slipped away from the formation.
Then he open his comlink."Warpath a Sharkticon might heading to your way watch out."He followed that Sharkticon."I want their tail for a long time."He muttered.
"Sharkticon?! I don't see anything."Warpath replied Rosdos 's comlink.
----------Fort Max Med-Bay----------

Fort Max: small bay
The leader's voice was like a clear beacon in the spy's spinning mind of failure and doubt. It was both commanding and requesting, and Mirage was drawn to it.
With his head lowered, he walked over slowly to stand next to Optimus. After a few moments, he brought his optics to meet Prime's.
The damage and repairs were clearly a product of his mistakes, but it was the leader's gaze that drove in to the very core of Mirage's mind and emotions. To the spy, it felt like a weight of indescribable proportions had just settled on his shoulders, and his knees responded in kind. Unable to stop himself, he sank down into a kneeling position next to the Autobot leader's repair table.
"I...... I.. Optimus.... I'm sorry.

Fort Max: Small bay
Hound looked at Minerva and then to his scanners again. More and more registers were occuring on his sensative equipment. Decepticons, Autobots, and something that didn't match either, as well as ships and ammunition explosions.
The scout puzzled through it for a moment, trying to use his experience to figure out what was happening. "If that's right, there's some sort of attack going on outside Minerva. I've gotta go help." As a quick afterthought, Hound smiled and added, "Thanks for the repairs," and he headed for the door at a jog.

Fort Max: Security Cells
Prowl had just reached the cells when he heard the Neo call come through and received Red Alert's messages. He answered both with one word.
"Affirmative."
"Powerglide, Blitzwing, disengage assigned duties immediately and fly out to meet the Neos. They're under fire from unknown source. Give cover for landing. Windcharger, Trailbreaker, drive out now to meet the human military caravan. Inferno, get the emergency equipment ready for... "
Prowl frowned as a note came up that said Inferno had left with a shuttle.
Hoist, Ratchet - we have a damaged shuttle coming in- we need emergency equipment out and medical staff on standby.
------------------

Mountain forest : outside Sharkticon burning pod
"Fine."
Blitzwing grumbled as he began to transform to his jet mode. Halfway through, a joining stopped and resulted in a string of unpleasantries and reverse transforming until it finally gave way.
-------------------
-------------------
Fort Max: perimeter
"I hear ya Prowl, good buddy. I'm on my way." Trailbreaker heard a distant explosion and transformed to vehicle mode, stepping on the gas in the process to zip up the winding trails with ease.
------------------
------------------
Fort Max: Medbay
Smokescreen chuckled from outside the door, transformed and replied to the medics. "It's a female."
Quickly bending over, he motioned to the Nebulon and transformed again.
"Silencer, Minerva's not here, but we can leave those for them. I just caught a comm - there's trouble outside of some sort. Come on!
--------------------
--------------------
"We're on approach now Roadbuster pal! Where abouts should we plop on down?" Inferno felt the shuttle engines whine in objection to the shift.
Might be a rocky ride going back.

Outside Fort Max – battle with Sharkticons:
Drops of acid were sizzling on Sharkticons' armor and on the earth around them. Powerful acid from Computron's pellets was making its grim work on the enemies, as were all the other Autobots' attacks.
"The enemies must not be allowed to retreat! A bit more effort and they will all be destroyed." - Computron stated not stopping his fire.
----------------------------------------
Fort Max Armoury:
The door of the compartment slided open and tall black-green Autobot entered in.
"Greetings, I'm Jetwave, I'm new here..." - he stopped abruptly and looked around. "Is anybody home?"

Just out side of Autobase
The human strike on the engines didn't do any real damage, but it dented the cone of the thrusters in, channeling the exaust up. This had the effect of starting to push the rear end down.... of the already crashing shuttle.
"Well, that didn't help...." the Micro Master muttered to himself, then shouted over the comm and over his shoulder to the crew compartments. "Ark, Nemesis, Starlight, Get out from underneath - we're hitting the ground and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Everyone hold on back there, and pray that we don't hit Maximus....."
Ark and Starlight pulled out from underneath the shuttle, flying beside it as a sort of escort. Nemesis on the other hand, peeled off and aimed his plasma cannon at the human jeep. He fired off a partial charge, aiming for the ground infront of one of the jeeps.

The ground in front of the leading jeep exploded in a fountain of dirt and debris, the driver slamming on the brakes, the jeep skidding to a halt, it's front wheels in the blast crater.

Prowl deliberated momentarily, calculating information that was pouring in and formulating possibilities. Nothing short of a nuclear explosion could force enough power to divert the incoming shuttle entirely, but there was something that could lessen the impact and buffer the damage to the two citybots. Calmly, he picked up his radio. "Fortress Maximus... extend shield projectors to 800 feet and reverse polarity."
He then turned to the cell and looked at Nick and Browning. "Why are you both here?"
-----------------
-----------------
Smokescreen whistled over his internal radio as he reached the exit to Maximus and saw distant flames and an incoming shuttle. "Hang on Silencer, this is going to be close!"
Smokescreen peeled a long squeal of rubber as he stepped on the gas to get out of the way of the imminant crash.
-----------------
-----------------
Hound didn't head for the entrance. Seeing the incoming signals, he headed for the side exit.
Spike waved him down before he reached the exit, and the scout drew to a temporary stop.
"Take me with you Hound, and don't tell me it's too dangerous!"
With no time left to deliberate, the green autobot gently lifted his human friend and went outside.

"Don't appologise."
Prime stared straight into Mirage's optics.
"You're not responsable for what happened to me, Mirage. The Decepticons carry the blame for that, and they will pay in full for what they did...not just to me, but to you, and to everyone else they've hurt."
The Autobot leader somehow managed to force his uncooperative body into a sitting position, then gave Minerva a glance that said he didn't appreciate her meddling.
I would have expected a medic to have a greater understanding of the importance of psychological health.
"Get up," he told Mirage, his voice soft. "If we're going to beat the Decepticons, I can't have my best officers kneeling at my bedside."
He held out his hand to the spy.

"Another day, another explosion. Never get any peace and loud music anymore." Blaster muttered to himself, as he slide down the ladder leading up to the crow's nest.
"I'm on my way to the front now RedAlert. Do we know what the alert is being sounded for?"
~~
By the time Sideswipe arrived at the Sharkticons Computron had mowed through most of them.
"Thanks for leaving me some scraps," He yelled up to the gestalt with a sarcastic tone.

Reassuring, confident, forgiving. Optimus' voice and expression steadied Mirage. He reached for the leader's hand, clasped it and rose. Lingering self doubt still hovered in the autobot's mind, but Mirage resolved to himself that he would never again put his friends at risk by his own failings.
"I will try not to bring down or cause any more trouble Optimus. I only thought everyone would be better off without me."
---------------

"I'm begining to wonder!" Smokescreen replied to Silencer as he sped up to cover the ground. "Hope you know how to fix all these trees and plants out here Silencer. We're gonna have to repair it before the humans get angry."
---------------
---------------
Hound was shocked at what his scanners were telling him.
"Spike, I think one of our shuttles was just attacked by humans!"
"No way Hound. Even the whole US Gov. wouldn't be able to take out a Cybertronian craft without massive scale power."
"I'm getting human readings though, and they're in danger then. There are several autobots and one Decepticon all heading for them."
"Step on it then- and notify the others so they don't walk on anyone."

OOC: Sorry, I guess I'm a bit impatient
The shuttle was losing altitude fast. At this point, there was no way to avoid a crash with the Maximus. Skyfall was reaching out with everything he could through the Omega's Transector connection and was using every trick he knew to keep them alive.
Main Thrusters - 98% opperational
Directional Thrusters - 4% opperational
Breaking Thrusters - Connection Severed
Anti-Grav lifters - 15% Opperational
Landing Pads - Off line
Lovely.......... Which Directional thrusters are still opperational?
Bottom Nose Thrusters only. All 5 remain opperational through secondary connection
"Oh this is going to hurt..... EVERYONE BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Skyfall shouted out, to no one in particular......
Skyfall triggered the nose thrusters and stopped compensating for the tail dropping due to the dented thruster. The nose of the Omega Shuttle rose in the air as they aproached the front section of Fortress Maximus. Skyfall prepaired himself for the metal-on-metal scrape that..... never came!
Instead, the Omega Shuttle hit the forcefield put out by the city and skimmed across it....
Well, I'll be damned, it work..... what now......
Port side Nose thrusters have shut down, Mid-line Thuster operating at 50% Capacity, mid-starboard side thruster operating at 75% capacity.
Thruster connection tedious at best, impact with anything was not recomended. This has resulted in a roll to the Port side.....
"Oh sure, now you tell me. Drop main engine output to 25%, lets land this thing at least. Starlight Ark: Give the shuttle a nudge and make sure we do a 360. But clear out before we hit the ground. Everyone back there," Skyfall shouted to the troop compartment, "I'm shutting the doors....."
The Omega Shuttle, much to the bane of it's passengers, was seriously starting to roll to the right as it bounced off the Maximus' shields. It had cleared one section of the city and was already more than 90 degrees into it's roll. The doors on the shuttle had snapped shut to protect the troops. Ark and Starlight were pushing on the starboard side of the shuttle, helping it around through it's rotation.
"See, told you it would be more exciting coming on this mission than sticking around with Dropshot at the Ark!" Stepper joked to Artfire, clearly enjoying the ride, his Target Master partner clinging to the arm of the chair as the shuttle rolled.
"Oh yes, much more exciting...... Now lets see if we survive...." Artfire fired back in a level tone, trying to hold onto his Target Master and his seat at the same time.
"You always look on the bright side, don't you?"

Quickmix clung to a stanchion absent mindedly , thoughts temporarily straying from the battle,
if i increase the yield i can increase effectiveness by 5% and if I do that it should suck out more oxygen and the firefighting foam will work much better hmm maybe i could adapt it for our present situation we could air drop it and if i thicken it up by adding a touch of....hmmm , well it would form a sort of spongy foam
" Skyfall does this thing have nozzles or hatches on its underside i think i might be able to ensure a sof landing."

Windcharger ran out the main entrance of Fort Max and transformed speeding towards what ever it was he needed to find.

Brawn poked his head out of the hole once more spotting the crashing shuttle, and scrambling Autobots.
"Ahhh dig yourself, Grapple!" Brawn jumped from the hole and transformed driving towards the crashing shuttle.

Fort Max Entrance Ramp
Powerglide had been nearing the entrance ramp when he heard his orders transmitted. "No time for joyriding now," he said. Sprinting to the door, he leapt, transformed and shot into the sky.
====================================
Nearby Town
Pipes extricated himself from the crumpled shopping carts on his feet and stood up. "Its been fun, but I should probably get back."
The kids complained that he should stay, but he promised to come back and visit as he transformed and drove towards Autobase. Don't know why I'm in such a rush to get back. I can't have missed anything....
====================================
Metroplex Foundry
Huffer finished downloading the new schematics into the foundry databanks. The foundry would now take care of restoring and updating the most basic systems so Metroplex himself could be brought back online. Once that happened, the real reconstruction would begin.

Blitzwing circled, watching the descending shuttle. From his vantagepoint, he couldn't see any attackers. There was nothing on his radar either, and the big Decepticon had no clue what he was supposed to be watching for - until Hound's voice cleared the radio.
"Hound reporting to security... there's a group of humans 12 miles from base, directly in the lee of the incoming shuttle."
Hound switched to his cabin radio as the incoming shuttle's flight gear whined and the ground began to vibrate severely from the shield buffers.
"Cover your ears and head, Spike."
----------
Prowl picked up and responded immediately. The strategist had had quite enough of humans being too close to the citybots, and unknown attacks meant clear danger for the humans, the troops or both.
"Attention all Autobots on patrol... tactfully and safely apprehend and secure the humans for questioning."
----------
Ultra Magnus turned his attention from the foundry and ongoing repairs to the urgent communications. He called back in a hurry.
"Huffer! Shuttle coming down hard outside- they may need our help. Let's go."
----------
----------
Trailbreaker caught up with Windcharger and called to him.
"Smokey ordered a bunch of ammo and stuff. The human military is delivering it, and they're comin' round the mountain right now. We gotta see 'em onto base safe Windy!"

Note: Big Daddy and Inferno have been moved over to 'Everywhere Else'.
