Mid-leap towards Reverb's open hatch, Relay transformed.
"Thanks!" he radioed to his communications colleague.

Veterans' Hospital, foyer
Solder treated Zephyr to a cursory bow and turned to the air-lock type doors which led into the Hospital proper; the trail of spilt oil led the same way. Automatically, he reached out to punch in a security access code.
"I'm not sure this will work, messire," he apologied.
The code was ancient, but the input pad looked like the one he remembered, albeit grimed and rusting.
There was a splutter of sparks and the doors remained sealed.
~~~
With a grin, Stormfire said, "Of course, Blackjack. But it does seem we'll have to get in first!"

Veteran's Hospital
Blackjack cursed as he saw Solder trying to open the door, Zephyr observing behind the medic with crossed arms. "It seems, Stormfire, that we may have to blow the doors down. But then it'll put all the 'defensible fortress' thing into waste, wouldn't it?"
The Micromaster tottered over to the gates, gesturing for Stormfire and Galestorm to follow...

"Yes, milord." Fumarole said, gesturing for the two Seekers to stand on guard positions.

Aimless did what any sane being in his position would do. He screamed as Dark Walk reached out.

In the tunnels, Misfire landed on the derailed monorail beside Acid Storm. Pulling out his laser rifle, he said to the Seeker. "You look like the Pit, pal. Need a gun?" Misfire said, offering his laser rifle to him. "It's better for someone who can actually hit the enemy to have it." he said with a sad expression.

The three predacons listened in unison to their leader Razorclaw's transmission. "PREDACONS! RUN FASTER!" screamed Tantrum who was beginning to get irritated by the lack of fighting. "WOOH!" Divebomb screeched ecstatically. Transforming into his alternate mode Divebomb leaped into the air and began to attempt to triangulate his leader's transmission. This feat would have been observed by his cohorts, but they were focused on smashing through anything that got in their way, including fallen soldiers.
Later in the Foundry
The two predacons somehow managed to keep up with Divebomb as they charged through the tunnels Smashing through their final obstacle the two berzerkers finally layed eyes on what they had been looking for all along, combat. "GAAHH" screamed Headstrong as he opened fire on the fleeting shape in the distance. "Divebomb to Razorclaw we have joined the fight, what are your orders?" Oblivious to this the other predacons began to chase the fast moving monorail. Divebomb continued flying as he waited for a response. However he noticed a small maintenance tunnel that might ,with any luck, bring them within range of their target.
(ooc: yes I'm using a shortcut to bring them to Razorclaw.

"Sure," Reverb said to Vindicator. Then, catching himself, he said, "Uh...I mean, yes, sir."
Once Relay was safely aboard, Reverb started to fly forward, mindful not to go so fast that Vindicator, with his slower tank mode, wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Hub #2 is about fifty miles due east of here," he told his companions. "It's in the banking district, actually. With any luck at all, we won't have to worry about working our way through too much battle debris on the way there."

"Thanks," Acid Storm said to Misfire as he took the gun that the Targetmaster had offered. If he'd noticed the comment about his appearance or Misfire's self-deprecation at all, he didn't show it.
"Keep sharp," he said. "The traitor might have made it out of the crash mobile enough to still be a threat."

"Autobot!" sneered Jaggor depreciatingly as he coolly aimed for 'Stratus'' damaged left arm.
~~~
Seizing Aimless as he tumbled, Dark Walk hissed at the unnecessary screaming... Ah, then he recalled inadvertently frightening this particular semi-organic earlier and began to explain that he was here to help.
Unlike the Nebulan, he could not see that the units on the main floor above were all Overbites.

"You know the way," Relay told Reverb. "I'm just a visitor here."
It did occur to him that the technicians would get there a lot faster if they did not have Vindicator with them, but he did not say it. Nor did he point out that the helicopter would appear to be escorting the tank and would, in the event of any attack, draw the first fire.

"The code has been changed," Solder whined apologetically. He placed one hand on the massive valve as if he would push it. "The whole building lies above ground and is bomb-proof, the better to protect the injured, and I doubt anyone could blast their way in."
For an instant, he could see again the great gouts of flame devouring the skyline, hear once more the desperate cries of the terror-stricken. Back then, he had been a young medic, idealistic like Retro; when Megatron called, they had answered, but that orn was burned forever into his core memory and downtime nightmares.
Giving a twitch, Solder removed his hand from the door and touched the barely-sealed mark on his neck, feeling the ridges left by earlier episodes of self-damage.

Aimless, still screaming, began to open fire randomly on the Overbites. Being who he is, some of the shots are bound to hit Dark Walk as well...

Misfire nodded to Acid Storm, cracking his knuckles. "Umm, yeah, sure thing." he said, trying to keep in pace with the Rainmaker. "There!" he called out suddenly, pointing at Stratus.
Nearby, Detour sped towards them, his dinged-up engine sputtering.

"You have been here before?" Blackjack asked Solder as he neared the medic. "You seem to be familiar with his area? Is there another way in?"
Blackjack rapped his fist against the door. It is sturdily built. the Micromaster conceded. Even with the force we have on hand, it'll take a long time to break in. Unless... "Any of your troops specialize in hacking or code-breaking?" Blackjack asked Galestorm hopefully. The jet-black Seeker shook his head. Blackjack cursed. "Gnn."

En Route to Communications Hub#2
As Vindicator continued to follow Relay he was becoming more and more concerned with this mission .
Traveling to Communications Hub#3 with Megatron had not seemed like a great plan considering the risk that we could have faced if we had been attacked.
But at least Megatron could fight... Reverb and Relay on the other hand..... are probably not able to defend themselves and if they can provide there own defense I don't know how well they can hold off any enemies. After seeing how Relay had reacted in combat I can only imagine Reverb acting the same way.
As Vindicator continued to drive behind Relay he continually scanned the area for any contacts.
"Keep an eye out for any movement in the distance. I don't want to risk running into any enemies. Or being caught off guard. " He said to Reverb.

Reverb wasn't well-versed in military planning, so the scenario that Relay had dreamed up went right past him. Frankly, he was just happy to have someone with guns watching their backs.
"At least we won't have to worry about traffic," he joked.
When Vindicator gave his instructions, Reverb replied seriously, "Yes, sir."

Acid Storm arrived at the near-end of the wrecked train. He took a quick look at it an decided that there was no way he'd be able to crawl through the ruined insides of the vehicle to look for his prey.
"I guess we're going over, then," he said to Misfire and Detour as he started looking for handholds and climbing up the side if the crashed train.

Jaggor aimed at his foe's last undamaged limb, but pulled the shot; one of the stanchions holding the ruptured chrome vat shattered. He stamped closer to 'Stratus', leaning in, placing his rifle muzzle to the other's chestplate.
"You were a trainee medic?" Jaggor rumbled. "Where were you based? And what did you find out?"
~~~
Dark Walk felt two shots smack into his Overbite's left leg. Although not fully integrated with the unit's peripheral neural sensors, the very fact that, for gigavorns, he had been practically immune to pain left him unusually sensitive. He staggered and hurled Aimless into the nearby wall.
"Fool!" he shrilled, grasping at the wounds. "I am not your enemy! Can you not tell the difference?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
En Route to Communications Hub#2
Relay picked up Vindicator's short exchange with Reverb and thought: I wonder if we have the capacity to avoid ground-to-air attacks...?
He was not much of a soldier - never had been - but he had served in field stations with recon and tac specialists, and something had rubbed off on him. Still, he was content to think that his current companions knew their trade and he notified Reverb that he was going into a quick recharge cycle.

Aimless grunted as Dark Walk suddenly threw him towards the wall. The armour helped to cushion the impact, but it hurt the same. "Not... not really." the Nebulon answered the ghostly Decepticon. "All these Overbite units look the same to me, so I flipped. But at least I know which one is you know..."
Aimless transformed back into gun mode and opened fire at the Overbites above them.

Misfire followed Acid Storm without much difficulty. "I think... is that him?" the Targetmaster said again, pointing at a moving object that might be Stratus.
Detour had much more difficulty with following, transforming into robot mode. His little legs carried him slowly towards Acid Storm and Misfire.

The trio of predacons barreled toward the end of the tunnel. Running faster, and faster, pushing their servos to the absolute limit when they saw the eit that they'd been looking for. "LOOK OUT!" screeched Divebomb to his fellow cons. Unfortunately he was too late. Tantrum and Headstrong plowed into the already wrecked monorail car knocking it for a loop. "Whoa" grumbled headstrong as he slowly shook his head. Getting up Tantrum transformed and raised his rifle ,to shoot the cause of his severe processor ache, but he noticed several other Decepticons scrambling over it and thought better of it. Instead he called out to them "Hey STORM!, MISFIRE! over here!" he called, acting strangely calm for a change. Walking over to Headstrong, "It's a good thing you've got a strong head. Get it? Strong head? heh heh" Divebomb said. "Slag off stupid bird said Headstrong.

Solder would quite possibly have wrung his hands and wheedled if he were not holding the dormant Overkill. He certainly cringed before the smaller mech. "No other way in, messire. I know, because I served my internship here," he explained to Blackjack. "Before great Megatron called me to service with the Decepticon uprising..."
A moment of despairing regret crossed his processor; if he had not volunteered for field medic, he would not have been sent into Kolkular...
"My friend, Retro, stayed. Last I knew, he was still in charge. Ah, maybe that's the answer!"

Misfire scooped up Detour with his hand and placed the yellow Micromaster on his shoulder. When Tantrum showed himself, Misfire smiled. Putting a finger on his lips, Misfire transmitted over shortwave frequency:
"Please be quiet... quarry's up ahead. Target name's Stratus. He's the one who sent those clones to kill us. Acid Storm and I are attacking from this side. If you Predacons don't mind, you could stalk the enemy from the other side?"

Blackjack grinned. "Ah, good thinking, Solder. Please see whether you could contact this... 'Retro'. Persuade him to open the door for us. We won't hurt him or anyone inside, we just need a base." the Micromaster said, musing about the mysterious medic. I knew it was useful to keep him alive. He knows his way around, that's for sure...

Jaggor listened to 'Stratus' with a cold sneer. "So, you learned what was happening?" he mocked, aiming for his foe's last intact limb. "Hah, why should I be interested?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Veterans' Hospital
"Yes - yes, messire!" Solder agreed happily with Blackjack. "I shall immediately open a communications link through the hospital sub-systems. I have the authority..."
Those last words trailed off doubtfully. He used to have the necessary authority; no telling what time had seen change. Still, it was worth the attempt and he scurried back to the junk-laden reception desk. Sweeping a heap of empty containers aside, he placed one palm against the ID pad he had exposed and leaned over a speaker grille located to one side.
"Ah - hem," he faltered and his magnified vocals boomed out from the dark recesses of the ceiling.

"Whassat!" Retro dropped the two miniature laser welders which he was using to close a long surgical incision he had made at the base of Ransack's cranium.
Transcan jumped, too, almost losing his perch on Transmission's shoulder. "Internal comms," he noted, recovering. "I thought you said you were the only one able to use 'em?"

Blackjack winced as Solder's voice echoed through the area. "Well, we have communications, that's a start." The Micromaster said. "Any chance you could contact this 'Retro', then? Because I would prefer we settling in before Megatron inspects his new temporary base..."
"Megatron's coming?" Galestorm asked.
Blackjack looked up at the Seeker, and replied, "That might be the case, if he's not preoccupied elsewhere. Regardless, we should expect visitors. Perhaps some other reinforcements? Or general Hatemonger, perhaps? It wouldn't do to have them coming to see a mess, would it?" Blackjack nodded to the party, whilst doing a headcount. They're all there, minus the three Blackjack sent to Megatron. "Galestorn, take three men and scour the area for supplies, traps, or any other survivors that we may rally to our cause."
As the Seeker went about its' job, Blackjack turned back to Solder...
