I was unclear which side of Cicadicon would eventually win out. The enhancer, while supposed to be permanent, would wear off in a few decades anyways. If Cicadicon had enough energy, he could over ride it, and those of his brothers as well. But for now, he could only bypass it in short bursts which left him exhausted.

"Megatron Damn it!" Thunderbird screamed, clutching his head. At the looks of the other members in the room, for the first time in a very long time he seemed sheepish. "Sorry, I had a short out that hurt like hell. Part of the glory of not being a meatbot," In reality, he was furious at the alarm that had just gone off in his head. Mentally adjusting the volume and taping into his security feeds, he only became more enraged. "Fix this. NOW," He hissed at his drone. "At once, my lord," it responded in a female voice. Plugging itself into a jack at the back of his head, it downloaded the information then shot off through one of the mail slots. To any outsider, it looked as if the drone had simply fixed the "short circuit" in his head.

Dirge chuckled in response. "Well, not the Ravage here... but I've heard stories of another ravage being put in a home. Plus most of my staff on the Neo-Decepticon council would still be in a retirement home if they hadn't been given enhancers... it's more common then you'd think." He blinks for a moment, looking at Thunderbird. "Calm down guy... we don't need to be looking for another replacement, are we?"
**********************************************
Sunstorm just rubs his head lightly, before picking him back up. At this point it wasn't entirely worth worrying about, but it was something to keep on the forefront. He can't help but think he should teach the calmer side some focusing exercises... at least so it has a chance to thrive as well.
**************************************************
Spinout nods lightly to Blades before blinking. ~Understood ma'am.~ He responds over the radio before looking to his friends. "I'll catch you guys later, alright? Apparently they're ready to see me now...." He responds before heading back over to Octopunch.

"I... apologize, my compatriot. I was simply taken aback by the sudden brashness of the short. I assure you, it won't happen again," TB bowed his head slightly. As much as he was used to working alone, he still needed these people.

IC: Stingray ::stood there as she thought for a moment. What would it hurt if you use the enhancers it looks like everyone else including Elita have used them. I'm not quite sure if I want to be young again. Then again if I could be young again I could kick some tin cans when if and when the Maximals, Neo Autobots need my help. Looking over at Dirge, "I'm almost afraid to ask but I'm sure there are more enhancers than I would ever know about. And from what you are saying Dirge there must be an enhancer that can make you younger?"

Dirge looks to her a moment before chuckling. "Well yes, after all... there's a reason you're taking care of kiddie council members now after all." He responds with a smile. "But yes, definitely."
************************
Dialog blinked as they reached the gate. "It just might have sir.... there's a number of cybertronian signatures popping up on the other side." He explains calmly, a bit surprised by the situation.

Onslaught just growled a little placated by their shutting up but let his displeasure at the bickering remain known. "Behave" he warned especially since this was so important both to him and to the furture of his team.
Standing a little straigter Onslaught nods to Octopunch "Yes ma'am" he replies; Onslaught is more than a little worried over his team causing a scene but he hopes they at least hold their bickering off for later.
--------------------------
Blastoff just pats Ripoff's shoulder "Sure after all this we'll go get it all sorted out. Now for the time being keep quiet unless directly spoken to okay?" Blastoff's thinking something similar except her target's Onslaught; especially since he dragged her away before she could do anything.
She did however spare a particularly nasty glare at the two bickering mechs.

"Bye, sweetie!" Blades waves at Spinout as he starts to leave. Groove and First Aid waved goodbye to him too. Octopunch was waiting for them to come with her. She sent a IM to the council members ~We're arriving right now. Get ready.~

Spinout nods, waving to Blade and the others as he starts to follow Octopunch inside. He can't help but wonder what exactly is going on, though he's finally starting to have a grip on it. He glances over to Onslaught for a moment and can't help but bristle lightly in response to being left alone with the army brat... even if Octopunch was nearby.
**************************
Dialog nods before exiting his 'partner' in all of this carefully, looking ahead at the gate in morbid curiousity. They had been pretty busy up until this point, he'd have to admit... so maybe they had missed out on something. "That's true... heh. Maybe someone decided to rally the troops so to speak before the next crisis hits?"
**************************
Sunstorm just replies curtly as he returns with the sleeping Cicadatron. "Don't worry about it Thunderbird... considering you made it this long without being reformatted, it's understandable if there's a few things starting to run down. Megatron never designed the Vehicon shells for too long of a shelf life after all. Didn't want his creations to outlive him." It's hard to tell if sunstorm's being sincere of sniping at TBird at the moment

"If you want I can see about getting a new shell." Discord said to TB, ruffleing her wings. "Built to suit your preferances."
~Ravage will meet you.~ Cheets replied by the same method to Punch.
~~
Glowing red eyes opened and looked down at Dialog. "That would be the case yes." Ravage growled.

"Thank you. But contrary to what seems to be popular belief, I am not dying, I am not falling apart. I'm simply well used. And while I appreciate the offer more than you know, I am fully capable of maintaining my own upkeep," Thunderbird did that weird thing with his optics where you just knew he was amused and smiling.

Octopunch got the message and starts to lead the boys to Ravage. What would the council want with these two? They're practically moral enemies. Well more like, high school rivals. She doesn't know why the two hate each others so much though, but she knows that they better holester their guns until the council or rather, Ravage sees them. She doesn't feel like shooting any kneecaps today. ~Copy that. We're coming in to your vicinity. Can somebody humor me as to why I have to bring Onslaught and Spinout? Little 'Slaught I can see but the leader of a urban vigilante group with the Army Brat?~

Onslaught just ignores Spinout's glance; he really see's no reason to care right now after all this is the council chambers and whilst being a 'military brat' Onslaught II couldn't really help being the way he is. That and he's fully aware that agitating Spinout could lead to disasterous consequences for the young combaticons in general. Well ...that and he doesn't want to waste ammo.

~Spinout is a valuable potential council member 'punch. He and his team have made themselves available to all forms of public safety and have proven themselves capable warriors. The 'army brat's team was already beaten by them on one occasion and he's willing to work with other factions as seen by interactions with the Protectobots.~ Dirge responds sharply and calmly in response.
************************
Dialog is shocked a bit by Ravage's sudden appearance, but he manages to regain his composure just as quickly and salutes the elder decepticon. "Dialog reporting in sir, my father Chuukon sent an order for us to head on in." He responds curtly in response to the comment.
