In the city of Iacon

[Cryptic]

"Fragging slag Dat..." Crasher gasped as the cycle settled. his nose wrinkled a little at their suroundings. "Haven't been in the Shafts in ages. Bringing bacl alot of memories..."

[autobotbubbs]

" A Jailbreak.... wonderful. I wunder how many a my adorin fans got an early release."

* Takedown grumbled as he removed a flask of hard energon from a holster at his hip and took a shot... a good, LONG shot. He's put a lot of mechs away over the years, and received a few death threats. Nothing he took verry serious, he just didn't need any half-asses assasination attempts right now.*

* Not that he wouldn't mind 'apprehending' a few of them.*

" Ahh... so If it aint the gruesome twosome... wich pirates hit the place? It wasn't dat blasted band a Junkions was it? Damned rust-fer-brained bunch a Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp Junkies... made me wanna put a fusion cannon ta my temple."

* Shaking his head... he took another swig. And to think, he breifly thought this new gig would be easy.*

[JagwarKnight]

"No, it's not the Junkions... I really doubt they could pull a nuke from orbit anyways..." Jess sighed," Takedown, remeber the alien life Dossier we... oh, right.... you threw it away before finishing it." Jess sighed as she pulled out a few chips.

"Can this thing do 3d projections?" Jess said, " it's going to help with my explantions if it can."

[autobotbubbs]

" First uv all...dat is a gross exageration. " * takedown stated defensively.*

~~~ Flashback~~~

* Takedown, in pretender armor, seated as he looked through the extra terrestrial dossier, wich consisted him looking at the photo ID's and moving on*

" Seen it... seen it... seen it... aint seen it... seen it... bet yer aft I've seen it... seen it... seen it... seen it..."

~~~ End Flashback~~~

"I skimmed it."

* Takedown took a quick drag before corking the flask and putting it back in its spot.*

" Second... Junkies 're all like a cross b'tween Macguyver n Hoffman from Rain Man... dey could build a working nuke using tangled christmas lights, cadburry egg wrappers, n a potato...and dat band a Junky pirates is no differen't. Even if it weren't dem... I'm jus sayin it wuld be POSSIBLE."

[smokedtoast]

Data chuckled in response. "Usually I don't either, but this is the quickest way back to base. Safest too in case someone's following us." He adds in response before ducking down a side tunnel. "Boss added some things to keep out anyone crazy enough to head back down here... Can't be a covert independent peace force without privacy after all."
*******************************
Dirge blinked for a moment as he paid attention to Jess's report. "Nuked from orbit?... that would explain the explosions we registered a while back Cheetara. Probably wanted to keep us from knowing who they broke out..." He responds with a frown, crossing his arms.
Sunstorm fistpounds the table lightly. "All those people... regardless of their crimes, considering the fact we're just finding out now... they couldn't have done this with that large of a ship. So many casualties for a few key components..." He comments with a harsh tone.

[tearoness]

IC: Elita ::Sat back in her chair thinking This is not looking good at all and it looks like it will get worst before it will get better I hope we can end this as quickly as we can there has been so much going lately it's making my head spin.

IC: Stingray ::Sits in her chair quietly all she wanted was to end what was going on so she could at least find inter peace with herself and live life again::

[Cryptic]

"So the mucketies we just left don't know about you then. Nice." Crasher said. "You are going to give me the pass codes later right, if I sign on."

~~

"Is there a general roster of who was housed there?" Cheets asked. "Ravage.."

"I'll go shortly and see what trails I can pick up." the black cat-car rumbled.

[JagwarKnight]

"Then explain WHY one of our men had to fish it out of the trash bin when you were done with it." Jess said dryly to takedown before turning to the rest.

"Truthfully Sunstorm, given all the tech they've been known to hijack, I wouldn't be surprised if they had some kind of Bomb that was able to wipe the place off the face of the map." jess said, "and to be blunt.... they prefer NOT to have survivors running around."

Vortex glares at Ravage before following Streetwise outside to have their little mini battle. He wasn't intimidated by him. Merkava looks as the two opponents walk out. He neverously eyes Blastoff. "Ma'am, do you think that Vortex can pull it off?" Merkava questions his second commander cautiously. "I mean...."

"Of course Streets is going to beat your goon!" First Aid exclaimed "Hell, he'll make him into our bitch! Com'on, Groove! Let's watch your boo make a example out of the asshole!" First Aid than runs towards the exit that Streetwise and Vortex left out of. Groove sighs and follows his teammate out as well. He also IMs a good luck to his boyfriend. He just hopes Streetwise knows who is he facing.

"....Spirited isn't she?" Merkava asked.

"This is going to end in fire isn't it?" Ripoff asked nobody in practicular while still reading his magazine. He opens a IM channel to Blastoff. ~Make sure Vortex wins?~

[autobotbubbs]

[navy]" Considerin how I'm usually da last one in da pecking order, I figgured everyone else wuz done wit it."[/navy]

* he simply shrugged.*

[smokedtoast]

Data grinned in response. "But of course. You really think we'd leave you high and dry like that?..." He can't help but chuckle at the idea. There's another data stream from the cycle which causes Data to shake his head lightly. "Well that's just you Bug Bite. And considering the last time you had a full Autonomous body, you got your head blown off by Megatron..." The cycle suddenly guns it for a second, as if to release a growl.
*****************************************
Sunstorm frowns lightly. "Still... all of those people, despite their crimes... There should be retribution. They were sentenced there to serve their time, not to die there." He explains in a slightly more calm tone. Spinout nods in agreement, but remains silent nonetheless.
*****************************************
Streetwise pauses in mid step, calmly standing still for a second as he speaks back to the others. "Ripoff, Blastoff... if you wish to dishonor your decepticon roots, please do so at your own discretion. You might want to invest in a better encryption frequency as well." He responds before heading back outside, coming to a stop a safe distance from the facility. He also sends a thanks back over the comm link back to Groove.

[Cryptic]

"Could it be the blast was to cover up something or some one they wanted to get out of the place?" Crystal asked from her corner. Well the corner of the ceiling where she'd spun a web and was now hanging in beast mode.

~~

"Bug bite?" Crasher asked looking down at the cycle, squirming alittle. "Ok I suppose I should ahve figured it was a little odd you had a non sentiant vehical."

[tearoness]

IC: Elita-1: "If they are covering something up it must be on a big sacle to wiped out small jail or city off the map like that," Elita said to the others.

IC: Stingray: "With all those lives taken they shouldn't have been sacafriced like that, even with their crimes, there has to be more to this what is being lead on to," Stingray said quietly then clamed up.

The two combatants head out of the citadel, ready to pound each other lights out. Or in actuality, Vortex ready to pound Streetwise a little. Or make an example out of him. He doesn't care if he doesn't like him, but to insult his and his fellow interrogators' profession? That gives one a one way trip to the CR Chamber. Or the hospital. Also, Vortex was looking for more of a challenge. That BM infestation was no more than a workout to him. That and a excuse to bomb the pit out of the Mall. He really wanted to take on that winged Monster dude he saw back in the medlab. Hell he wouldn't mind taking out Spinout. Well he guess Streetwise would do just fine. That and he hates those "Holier-than-thou" types. He cracks his knuckles. This probably wouldn't take to long.

"Before I beat the shit out of you, can I ask you a question?" Vortex said "What do you have against interrogators? Huh? Can't stomach it? Not all of us are sparkpaths and telepaths you know? Than again what fun is it of looking into the sparks when you can just simply pour acid on their exposed circuits and hearing them scream?"

[darkstatic]

Blastoff shrugs "I have no idea Merkava; this could go either way. Streetwise is up to something; I just hope Vortex doesn't loose his temper." She looked over at First Aid then back to Merkava and replies to his other comment with a single word "Understatement."

She glances at Ripoff before hearing Streetwise she growls at his comment "Perhaps you should wait until I reply before insinuating that I agree" she replies back tersely.

She gives Ripoff a look indicating that it was allowed 'only if absolutely neccessary'. Onslaught wouldn't be pleased to hear they lost; he'd be even less pleased to hear they'd been caught if/when they cheated.

Blastoff followed out indicating that the other young combaticons should also do so.
