* Takedown sighed at this... beginning to change his tone with the communication*

Data breathed a sigh of relief as they leave the building, waving back at Crystal as his cycle pulls up in front of the building. "That was a tense moment there." He mutters lightly, looking at the cycle as he climbs on. It's not entirely sure if he's talking to Crasher... or the cycle itself. "Let's go Crasher, things are a bit wiggy here... we should fix ya up with the right equipment before helping the council."

"So... what was that look for you where giveing Crystal?" Crasher asked as he swung up onto the cycle behind Data. "You two have a thing that ended messely?"

"Tell Marrow to relay this to the reporters, the government is currently looking into this and we are prepared to do what we must if it looks like Jetstorm has returned." Jess said to takedown.

"How about I lock you in the stocks and put the car pliers to your Primusfucking nuts,slagguzzler?!" Vortex snarls as he got up into Streetwise face, his red optics burning with anger. Merkava just shook his head and cover his optics. He's so glad his leader isn't here right now. All the sudden, Vortex felt something hard poking at his head. It was First Aid, pointing her Crystalization Rifle at the back of his head. Groove has his hand on his vocal unit, threatening to crush it. "Don't say the good lord's name in vain," First Aid coldly commented "Asshole." Vortex smiles coldly and silently activates his weapon system. He doesn't mind having a work out.

Blastoff had face palmed as Vortex had said that still she did need to maintain the team's dignity somewhat. Growling she glared at him "Vortex" I'd run little hellicopter this shuttle's pissed off at you. "What would it take to get through to your CPU that you don't start fights in the middle of Iacon?" she asked dangerously. "Oh and somehow I don't think our dear leader would like to have to be called out here to break up a brawl. Do you?"

"Also mind your language; this is Iacon after all." Which was a discreet was of telling him not to swear in front of the Primus botherers.

--------------------
Onslaught was watching procceedings in the council chamber with interest after all this was all new to him but since he didn't have any good suggestions to offer he kept his mouth shut and observed turning ideas over in his mind.

Ravage padded over to the fighting youngsters and let out a soft growl. "Settle."

~~

Outside Howlback stepped off the transport and approched the gates. So she was a little late for the meeting, she was looking after her partner.

Streetwise managed to hear his newly appointed commander's command at this point... but chose to ignore it just this once. He could sense the air heating up around Vortex as his weapons systems activated, and considering what he knew of the Combaticon... a simple command would not make him back down. "Groove, First Aid... back down please. If you have problems with me, 'interrogator'... it would be best to go through the proper channels." He takes the moment to look over to Ravage calmly for the moment and asks. "Sir, considering the situation... might it be better to have a traditional decepticon trial by combat in front of the ranks? Just to make a point to the others that this isn't going to go sour like previous alliances of the great war..."
It seems a bit odd that the young panda bear techno-organic would ask of such a thing considering his seemingly lack of armaments... but he has a look on his face like he has a plan. "It might actually help relieve this problem as well... help develop a mutual respect." He takes a moment to turn towards Vortex for a moment, speaking softly but sternly. "After all... all people talk of his skills are as that of an interrogator. Same with me and my work as a detective. Not so much of our combat skills..."
******************************
Data pauses for a moment, thoughtful on the situation. "It's.... complicated. Let's just say it's a good thing I didn't say too much about our upcoming meeting... People around here might need our help before they realize it." He explains calmly. "Besides... I've already got a girlfriend. Why would I want to go after an old flame?" He chuckles for a moment oddly before shaking his head. "Well that's your opinion." He states aloud as they start off, seemingly to no one.

"Now for the next ite..." Jess said before suddenly she got private com call from Tara..

".... WHAT?!?!?!?!" She yelled suddenly as she lept out of her seat," What do you MEAN by 'I found Possible Space pirate activity'?!?!?"

"Yes, I'm PREFECTALLY calm because it's not like they come here EVERYDAY..."

[tearoness]

IC: Elita and Stingray ::Nearly jumped out of their armor looking over to Jess:: "what in the blue blazes is going on Jess?" both asked in unison.

[Cryptic]

Ravage considered then nodded. "Out side though. We don't need this place trashed."

~~

"I'll take your word for it then." Crasher replied.

First Aid grumbles a couple of profanity under her mouth while she puts her weapon away. Groove just icily stares at Vortex and lets him go. The Chopter/Osprey Young Combaticon member just snickers in arrogance. "Like you little bitches can take me. Ha!" First Aid mentally wished that she wasn't bound to the ten holy commandments of Primus. She would have love to see if his armor can take a beating or not. Vortex glares at Streetwise defiantly and darkly, with his weapon systems humming to life and ready to take out the unlucky victim. "Yeah. Let's take it outside."

[darkstatic]

Blastoff just looks pissed off. "Vortex if you make us look like idiots I'm going to personally dissassemble you" she growled at him. She looked at Streetwise suspecting the detective had some plan up his sleeve, but said nothing; Vortex II should be able to handle him. She looked over at the rest of the two teams. "You lot want to go watch?" she asked.

[Cryptic]

"Don't make me EMP you." Ravage growled at Vortex. "Holster those while you're in here."

[smokedtoast]

Sunstorm paused for a moment before responding. "Space Pirates?... Black Barracus and his kind are back?" He asks, a bit shocked at the prospect of dealing with the two Pretenders. "I thought they kept mostly to the outer parts of the universe..."
~~
Despite the bits of bravado and attempts to creep the detective out... Streetwise just nods back in return, looking Vortex dead in the eyes before heading for the door. "Understood sir." He responds, a sudden release of air as portions of Streetwise's arm Kibble shifts down in a piston-like motion as he disengages his unique abilities. "I'll see you outside Vortex. Unless you want to call it off." He adds back to his opponent as he leaves. Shunt, curious about his friend's plan, follows the others out the door.
~~
Data nods in return, before turning sharply into an alleyway a bit of a distance awy from Iacon. "Mhm... careful now amigo, the drop is a bit sharp." He responds back to his friend as he activates a switch on his cycle, causing a section of the street to split suddenly in front of them as they drive into the hole. There's a sudden rush of air before the cycle hits ground several yards down, jerking for a moment before activating it's headlights as they continue on their way. It seems like they're traveling in some forgotten maintenence tunnels from the old days...

Jess sighed... she shouldn't yelled outloud like that, nevermind she was on the 'private hotline....'

"it's not thoes two... and it's a long story there." Jess said, "reguardless, from the looks of things, they busted some criminals out of a prison area.... and vaped the area." She said grimly.
