TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Home to some of the Autobots' most dangerous prisoners, the Sentinel Prime Detention Centre in Altihex has been blown wide open by a Decepticon assault. Countless POWs, mobsters, psychopaths and common criminals are now on the loose, mixing in with the city's population or bound for Polyhex aboard Astrotrain. Autobot reinforcements are enroute to deal with the aftermath, but it is too little, too late.

Prison Complex- Medbay

Pyro looked up. "He won't be avoiding trial at all in his new form. I'll make sure he gets there."

Prison

Downshift dove out of the way of Conflagration's attack into an empty, unused office. As he was moving, he fired at the escapee with his neural shock gun. He doubted it would stop someone as crazy as the prisoner evidently was, but it would really, really hurt if he hit.

Astrotrain continued to fire back at the oncoming missiles.

Astrotrain

Hearing the skirmish between Soundwave and Boomstick, Shrapnel moved towards Soundwave's side. "You better do what he says, says." Shrapnel begun, brandishing his gun. "or if you're dissatisfied, you can walk home... after I drop you from Astrotrain, Astrotrain."

Bombshell moved beside Shrapnel, weapon ready if Boomstick tried anything. Dead End nervously followed Bombshell.

Bombshell said, "Do whatever Soundwave tells you or I'll place a cerebro shell on you."

Laserbeak self-ejected from Soundwave's chest, landed on his master's shoulder and cawed voraciously. Nobody insults Soundwave!

Ironfist did not hesitate as to his reply. "Speak to Downshift. IF he agrees, a guard would be neccessary there." he told Smite.

Arcee, Corridor outside solitary

Ironfist brought up Downshift, which reminded Arcee that he'd wanted her to keep him updated on their situation inside. "Yeah, come to think of it, he knows more about this 'bot than we do."

She opened up a commlink. "Arcee to Downshift: what do you know about an inmate called Smite? He says he doesn't mean us any harm, and he just wants to help Breakdown, who's badly damaged. Should we believe him?"

Arcee paused, then added, "also, be on the lookout for another inmate named Conflagration."

She heard a lot of background noise on the other end of the link that sounded a lot like the noise coming down the hall. "Guess you already found him."

Outside

Backhand thumped his feet squarely into the ground and heaved, feeling some of his armour joints being to peel back; it hurt, but he wanted to be free of Road Rocket.

The sound of something big, angry and potentially not on his side made him pause and look around. Conflagration! Backhand had kept away from this one, not chancing that fiery temper. Unable to get that all-important bead on Powerflash, he shrugged and turned his bazooka towards the rampaging form currently running parallel to where he (kinda) stood.

Escaping

Conflagration roared in pain as the neural shock gun hit him.

Reversing one track he released a circle of flame as he rotated setting fire to anything flammable that was in range.

On the roof

"quick zoom , there's something happening at the entrance, that mechs obviously spotted something. Whoa look at those flames. Keep filming this could be our mech interest piece our hero de jour."

Airplay moved towards the edge of the roof to better see Backhand.

CR Chambers

Inside the CR Chamber Overload's power levels rose above 75% causing him to exit stasis lock. The Micromaster's optics activated inside the poorly lit unit. Man does my head hurt!

Astrotrain

Skystalker pulled ahead of Astrotrain continuing to escort the space shuttle. He placed his shuttle on auto-pilot and sat back in the chair.

Courtyard

Despite the damage to their Pretender shells, Landmine and Waverider were able to lift Crossblades's damaged body and begin to carry it toward the prison. Both of them would need to see that their shells were repaired as well.

Splashdown opened a comm channel to Iron Fist, since Landmine's comm had been disabled during the battle. "Iron Fist this is Splashdown. We're bringing in Crossblades. He's hurt bad!"

Landmine was not very happy that Iacon had not sent a med evac for Crossblades. Some will pay for this thought Landmine.

Armory

Advancing down the corridor, Groundbreaker continued to fire at Submarauder with his electron assault rifle. Even though Submarauder's charge had failed, Groundbreaker wasn't about to let him get the upper hand.

Sky High motioned for Iguanus to move down the corridor. There were a few cells that remained operational within the facility. Sky High opened a comm channel to Downshift. "Groundbreaker and I have secured the armory. Iguanus and Submarauder have been taken into custody. What are your orders?"

Corridors

Breakdown shuddered. Locked inside his own cranium, he was not even aware of the situation in the real world or any potential danger.

----------------------------------------------------------
Outside

Backhand was no hero; Backhand had never been a hero. It was more a sense of 'I'm frakked, so slaggit to the Pit' that made him do what he did.

He pulled the trigger and sent a single fragmenting missile straight for Conflagration's fire-belching snout.

CR Chambers

Windcharger got out from the CR Chambers beside Overload. "Are you okay?" He inquired the Micromaster.

Ironfist received Splashdown's communication. "Frag!" he cursed. "Do you need assistance? Med-bay is on Sub-level 2." he said, all the while keeping an eye on Smite and Breakdown.

Escaping

The missile clanged off Conflagration's armour as he charged blithely towards the gate to freedom.

~*~

Airplay peered down at the missile , the camera recording it all, including Backhands apparent heroism and beaming it around Cybertron.

Prison

"Yes, Conflagration and I have met," Downshift said dryly as the room burst into flame around him. "Arcee, Smite is unstable and very, very dangerous, but he shouldn't be violent unless he's provoked. Is he willing to go back to his cell peacefully and wait until the violence has been put down? If he's cooperative, we can trust him to a point."

Diving behind a metal desk, he hid from the psychopath's fiery attacks.

"Lock them somewhere secure," Downshift told Sky High. "Then start sweeping the corridors for any more escapees who are still in the building."

Astrotrain

(OOC: Boomstick is, uh, knocked out on the floor, guys...)

"Stand down," Soundwave told Laserbeak and Shrapnel.

Astrotrain crossed the border into Decepticon territory.

(OOC: ...and moved into the Polyhex thread.)

Sub-Level 2

Windcharger transformed into vehicle mode and revved up his engines. From what he'd picked up the Autobot frequencies, Iguanus and Submarauder is captured, while Smite, Breakdown and COnflangration are being taken down.

As he drove up to the corridors, he ran into Slicer. (OOC: he got left behind right?) "Stop right there!"

Sub Level 2

Slicer still disguised as Wheeljack turned around.

"Ahh Windcharger, do you wish to assist me I am just cogitating on a device that will allow us to track the escaped miscreants."

Sub-Level 2

Windcharger transformed, strode to Slicer with a smile on his face said to him, "Wheeljack... I want to thank you for inserting that reformat device in me. Look what it has done! I'm in a new body now. And yes, I would gladly help you in making the device. What would you have me do?"

Arcee, Prison Corridors

"Understood, Downshift," Arcee replied over the commlink. "I'll continue to keep you informed. Arcee out."

"All right, if you're willing to cooperate with us," she told Smite, "we'll just move Breakdown and Kingbolt out of here and get them in some CR chambers. We're going to lock you back in the cell, so please ... no sudden moves, all right?"

She glanced at Ironfist, hoping he'd be the one to do it, as he was bigger, stronger, and better-armored than she was. But he did outrank her, so if he ordered her to do it, she'd have to comply.

Sub Level 2

Slicer shrugged

"I need to procur laboratory facilities, do you know of a suotable location."
