It would be a lie to say that Whiteout's small team isn't dejected when they finally track down the coordinates that Nachos had provided them. The entire day they've spent running around over the enitre city, fighting desperately while the soldier boys turned the whole scene into a sort of fireworks show. After hearing the stories of the Great War for so long as a kid, he'd thought power like this was a thing of the past. He especially hadn't expected it from Terrans. It had made everything they'd tried to do trivial. A game played by kids while the adults did the hard work. The whole thing left a bad taste in his mouth. It's Wreckshop that stops his dark musings when she draws up short with a stunned expression on her face. "How secret was this place supposed to be again?" "Really secret," Synth answered, joining her with a look of awe. "Do you think they're hostile?" Riotact asks right away, her one functioning hand covering her disfigured weapon arm is it reflexively tries to charge and track a target. 'They'd have already greased us if they were," Triphop says shaking his head. "Better call ahead." He's one of the more sonically gifted of the group, and it's an easy thing to set up an channel out to Nachos. "Hey. We're back. Are there supposed to be lots of ships and slag like that hanging around?" Whiteout scrapes a muck encrusted hand across his equally tarnished and soot stained face. He's got this terrible feeling that he's about to be sorely tested.
There's a few moments before an unfamiliar but friendly voice responds. "Straightarrow here, good to see you guys made it out of that shit storm up top... as for the question, things kind of hit a weird point when Nachos and company struck the facility my friends. I don't have the details because the others were on the last ship to leave... but the hacker prisoners here have been telling me someone took advantage of the plan, Nachos and the others were forced to evacuate all our potential allies here as the villians escaped."

Whiteout just stares ahead at the ships hanging in the air around the formerly secret hideout he'd been told. "Damn it. Okay. Well, what the hell is happening in there *now*?" he asks, almost scared to ask. "And how many people. Any info you can give me at all would be great," he finishes, trudging towards the entrance... motioning for the others to follow, who join him just as bewildered.
Straightarrow responds calmly. "Uh.. .well for one... it's gone. The whole place is literally a crater... the security cameras we were hacked into in the area showed the last ship escaping, but apparently the other escaping group wanted no evidence left of it's existance. Nearby powerplant overloaded and leveled the thing... despite the morbidity of such a thing, it's actually worked in our favor as it masked the escaping ship's energy signatures quite well." He pauses for a moment, looking over information gathered since his first reply.
As he continues, he can't help but nudge Urbanrunner for a moment before motioning back to the hackers, as if to ask her the question he did Axegrinder. "At least a couple dozen counting the ones who have arrived sir... for the most part they seem a little disreveled, but calm about the situation. I know at least a couple of them have started expanding the facilities for the extra people who've come here... and for the most part morale seems to be high. There's no sensor signs of anyone trying to call out, so unless any potential traitors want to trudge the long distance you did to get here... I think we're safe on that aspect. The majority of them are located around the hangar area... they could probably use a pep-talk around now about what's going to happen to them."

"Unfortunately, there was a lot of us that didn't made it," Urbanrunner added "Along a couple of shootings, somebody took the opportunity to break out the inmates of B-17. The Space Pirates came in and took some of the B-17 inmates as well. We think they might be the ones who helped them escape, but we hadn't had time to figure it out. Also there was a bunch of zombies involved. Other than the fact we don't know where the others are and only Primus knows how many B-17 have escaped and on the loose, I think we pretty much did good. As for the traitors, like Straightarrow said, so far we haven't found any yet." Urbanrunner optics widen a little when she remembers something. "Oh yeah! Somebody really wants to speak to you real quick! It's really important and it would benefit you and the former Prisoners here."
"But we can't go back to top side anymore too! Because of our status, we can be easily be taken out just as easily and nobody won't know what happens," One of the hackers responded rather cheerfully. Urbanrunner smacks him across the head.

"...Alright, that's it." Straightarrow responded for a moment before injecting the eerily cheery hacker with a genderbending enhancer. XD "That was strike number 3, crazy hacker dude. Have fun with your new assets." Turning back to the others looking at him, he responds calmly. "What? now they have someone to look at other then Axegrinder..."

it's a lot to wrap his head around all at once. He's only vaguely familiar with the Pirates from various bits of news that filter into the system, and finding them having made off with a bunch of the prisoners he's at least partially responsible for freeing from unlawful imprisonment isn't something he's exactly joyful to hear about. Still he can cross that bridge a little later and find what they actually intend. At the moment though... "Someone wants to speak with me? Alright, I'd like to know who before I have to field a bunch more weirdness though."

The nerds started to stare at the transformed nerd. Instead of freaking out, the nerd possess some sexy and suggestive posses. "I feel....pretty," The transformed nerd said. Soon the hackers soon pounched on her and starts to have hot passionate, sex with her. Urbanrunner rolled her optics a little and pinched her optics in annoyance. "Anyways, this guy named 52. He claims he has vital information that would greatly help the supply problem. A bank account that even the council don't know about. We don't even know if this information is good or not..."

Straightarrow paused for a moment, staring at the going ons a little too much. XD He shakes his head lightly before grabbing a sheet from the side and throwing it over the mass of nerdlings. "We were going to have some of the hacker types that joined up with us look into the account discretely before going on with it sir. Any standing orders while we wait for you to get here?" He asks calmly, turning back to the others.
Mouthpiece meanwhile looks over to Axegrinder for a moment before responding. "Should we stay around, or go back and help with the building? Seems like they have things under control here... Unless you just want to relax for the moment."

"Standing orders? I guess not. I don't even know who's there yet. We should be there in a few. I want you and Nacho ready to talk at the very least. Once I talk to you two, we'll see about everyone else. I guess if they want someone to talk to it probaly better be me. How soon can we have contact with these pirate ships? I need to know where the rest of my people and the prisoners are. Then we can talk about anything else."

Straightarrow responded calmly in return. "Well, I'll be available to talk right away sir... but Nachos was on one of the late-bound ships. if's all's going well though, he should be in contact at least by the time you reach here... it's about a few nanominutes before we agreed to asssume the worst, and the others said things looked fine from what they last viewed when they left. If we don't hear anything by the time you reach here, we'll look into contacting him directly ourselves." He takes a moment to look over to Urbanrunner before asking aloud. "Urban, any signs yet of any other ships along that frequency?"

Six hackers were still upgrading the computers, while other most of them started to leave. Most of them were heading out to get something to eat or take a break from upgrading and modify the computers. Axegrinder blinks at them as they leave. "Looks like even geeks need a break," she said with a chuckle. Urbanrunner thinks about it before answering. "One of our ships were following the Pirate ship. What was weird about the ship is that it actually had a Autobot signature in there."

Straightarrow blinked lightly in response. "An Autobot signature?... why would one of them be there? Most of the shuttles had be decommissioned and reformatted into maximal forms..." He responds, rubbing his chin lightly."Did anyone get a look at what that ship looked like?" He takes a moment to poke one of the few still on the floor before speaking up. "Hey, get some pants on or something already."

One of the nerds who was making hot sweet monkey love to the transformed hacker stops in mid-thrust and looks at Straightarrow. "Ummmm, I don't know....*Gasp* if this is going to help or not but I did saw a ship, a really huge ass ship by the way. It sported a red Autobot insigna. "
"And it looked like a Dragon..No, it looked a Lion....But it looked like a huge jet it seems..." Added the femme, trying to remember what she saw. "And I think I might have saw a Unicorn. What the slag was that about?" She turns to her partner. "Back to fucking, Surfroute." And back to screwing they did, not caring if anybody watching. "Somebody ought to put a shame chip in them," Axegrinder muttered, slightly disgusted at what she was seeing. "So we got a Autobot ship that haven't been upgraded to Maximal standards and we don't know where the rest of the inmates went to. What the slag all of this means?"
"Dai Atlas...." A lone Hacker, a Generation one Maximal with a ferret beast mode, who was working on a motherboard.

"Dai Atlas?..." Straightarrow responded lightly, before grabbing the nearby fire hose and spraying down the two screwing interns like a pair of screwing pets.  "That would mean... of course he'd find out about it. The others should be in good hands, just means Dao and his crew took them in." He adds, looking towards Urbanrunner. There's a beep a few moments later as the HQ's computers start to pick up on an transmission detected inside of the facility. Straightarrow blinks for a few moments, before glancing over at one of the monitors running the data taken from the facility and Nacho's reports. "...aw man, he used the pregnancy enhancers?..." He responds with a light groan, rubbing his face. "We should get them to the med-bay before anything else happens to them or the children..." |

IC: Crushdepth ::Quickly made her way through the main command center or what was left of the former building, it was good to be back.
Being slightly tired and being away for so long. Reaching the main command center seeing that the gang hadn't destroyed it nor tired to kill each other was a good sign, hearing taking and also heard something or someone was hit with a pregancy enhancer and was about to have a baby.
Entering the room she walked over to where Straightarrow was as she spoke:: "Did I hear a pregancy enhancers were used on someone?" Crushdeapth asked slightly concerned.

Straightarrow glances over in Crushdepth's direction. "Uh.. Crushdepth, right?..." He responds before looking back over to the console as he works his magic. "It definitely looks like it. According to Nachos, they were used at least on the guards Bangover and Fadescreen... happen to know what they look like so we get them to the medbay safely?" He asks confidently, looking though the list of people. "Apparently there's a prisoner who's naturally expecting named Hardwire as well... think you could find them?"
