"However, that makes You blind to what can be right in your face Takedown." Jess said, keeping HER hard face as well,"So don't go leaping into conclusions before we have all the information,besides, alot of thies 'newer' groups have been recruiting from all over the place." she said... with a slight stress on 'newer'... which, if TD would pick up on, would mean that, save for him and MAYBE Elita... she wasn't really THAT trusting of the new council yet... which ment that TD had a rather important job ahead of him and her 'bleeding heart' was a needed in order to keep him in his seat for it...
"At any rate," she said before turning to everyone else, "were there anymore prisons at the blast site? Tara... cut her com on me... again."

* the old mech just shook his head and grumbled, noticably not liking a bit of whoat she had just said.*
" Buncha bleedin-heart fleeshie nonsense..."
* Takedown was many things, both good and bad. He was a Stubborn Boneheaded and quite often Drunken Brute, but he was also a Loyal Idealistic enforcer of the law. Even though some would say he had the social skills of an old-school decepticon... he's the kind of mech one would want to have watching their back.*
* To the others within the hall, his behavior would be an assurance that he was blind to the tought of any Autobot or Maximal betrayal, his ideologies clouding his mind to the real potential threat. Such is not the case. While true, one should not rule out the likely suspects, several million years worth of experiance, both in war and in law enforcement, had taught takedown one simple matter.*
* Things are never as simple as they seem.*
* He had thought something was suspicious the moment he'd been granted a seat on the council. He'd allowed his patriotically-stubborn-persona do all the talking for him to alleviate any fears, and while investigation was really something up Nightbeat or his old Mentor's alley... he was ready to keep this up to get to the bottom of this situation.*
* Jess's message had been received... loud and clear.*

ouwordly, Jess feint annoyance at the comment but inwardly... she was happy that Takedown had gotten the message, true, Gate was going to be here on the council but after the nightmare war, she felt that she couldn't trust him... not after he used her KIDS as weapons against her... and Tara, as much as they were sisters, was too much like Protoman with her commings and goings to handle something like this...
however, if there was one thing Jess was good at, it was picking up on the good qualities of people and for all the stuborn, bull head and drunken demenor Takedown had... she knew that not only she could trust him but it would also throw people off if she picked him to take a seat on the council.
too damn much was changing too fast and if STARSCREAM was going to be a part of this...it would be best to have someone to not only watch HER back but also the world's....
in her mind, Takedown was the best choice in this case.

Meanwhile in the office of Dirge, Iguanaus and Bugly was hearing this through the commlink. They shut down their connection for a second, so they can have a conservation amongst themselves. They remain quiet for a moment before responding. Bugly took a sip of Energon while her partner was looking at the new council with a little bit of concern and wariness. A possible traitor that assaulted the original council as well possible being a member of the backup council? This wasn't going to end very well. "Sooooooo. What you think of this development?" Bugly questioned Iguanas while drinking Energon.
Iguanaus replied back to the Stag Beetle Decepticon while looking at the screen. "This is probably going to end in fire. Or somebody's body going to be laying in the scrapheap."
"Mmmhmm." Bugly responded back "How much you want to bet that Starscream is probably behind this." Iguanaus chuckled bitterly. "Please. That's giving him WAY too much credit. I don't think Starscream had a hand in this. But still, this is Starscream the backstabber we're talking about here." Bugly nodded in agreement. "So anything else about the crimescene?"
"Everybody is still going through the wreckage. They manage to find twenty bodies so far. Besides that, nothing else," Iguanaus said while looking at screen. "Back to the question at hand. Who's the traitor? And what do they want?"

Dirge frowned lightly in response, listening to both the conversations in his own council and amongst those in the council room through the communications hookup. Unlike the other two, he had directly hooked it up to his Information output port so he was able to listen to everything on both sides. He speaks up suddenly, looking over to the pretender council members in the room for a moment before 'turning' to facee his fellow council members. "At this point, pointing fingers could exactly be what these people want my fellow council members. Bludgeon did the same thing to end the brief alliance we had formed after Unicron's first destruction. We cannot forget that all sides have had their turncoats and rogues during the war... Octane, Blitzwing.... Flame, Punch losing his battle with his decepticon persona.... Black Arachnia and Quickstrike. If we are to not fall victim to any traps, we must be able to balance our suspicion with our trust. I would not like to live through another Great War if it is possible." He pauses for a moment before speaking directly to BUgly and Iguanus, leaving his hologram in the seated quiet position he was in when he finished his speach. "There have been a number of maximal disappearances and quitters by enhancer warfare before this you two... though I'm not sure if we can say they're related at this point. It is very possible that another group is trying to take out the council, but at the same time... how did they get access to it? It's very likely they want power nonetheless." Sunstorm frowns lightly at the suggestion of himself being the traitor, but he doesn't seem too vocal about it. He does manage to throw in. "If I and Discord were the traitors my friends... we would have much to worry about as Primus's advice was what led to our throwing ourselves into the selection pool as it were. So someone would have circumvented his whims. Nonetheless, I do not believe there were any other facilities in that area Jessica."

"Not to mention, a couple of Predacons and a couple of Autobots and some of our kin folks," Iguanaus added while looking at the screen with the increasingly distrustful new council members "Apparently there was a Witchhunt going on before all this has happend. Oh and you forgot about Swindle and the original Breakdown being one of the traitors. Well, Swindle is debateable. I doubt that they're related because of the timespan. Than again......"
"Power, power, power. Can the mech or femme who's doing this come up with something more original than trying to usurp power?" Bugly sardonically respond "Question is where the Pit do they get the enhancers? And why didn't anybody notice anything? And how can they do this right under our noses? We need that Streetwise kid and Nightbeat on the case for this one."

Dirge responds back to the two of them. "Well, I'm just guesing at this point my friends... As for the enhancers, they're easy enough to produce on their own, let alone buy. I know that Slingshot has been looking into illegally produced enhancers with his own investigations... as for why no one noticed, all too often the ones who left did so of their own decision from what I hear. They got tired of the meetings and discussion apparently. You know, the standard procedure for teenagers." He shrugs before activating the main hologram controls again. "Besides... we're not the only ones under suspicion if you want to get technical. You cannot deny your quick response is not suspicious Ms. Jessica..." He comments to the larger group, looking in her direction.

* Needless to say, the accusations made against takedowns superior didn't sit well... especially coming from a con. He shot up from his seat, after first slamming one of his fists into the desk.*
" An just what'd you expect her ta do? Sit in New York wit her fingers crossed while dese two planets rip each udder a new one?!?"

Jess' eyes NARROWED at this.
"Oh... I see... Just because I happened to realize that MAYBE your forces would be oh.... OVERWHELMED due to this sudden Crisis happening that I took a RISK and came here with what men I could spare and left MY home world to save your butts." her tone going to almost Sub-Zero levels of coldness at the accusations made..... "and may I remind you Dirge, that we don't have a little Bail out like YOU did with StarScream.... we were DAMN lucky I missed hooking up with Slingshot as I hoped I could and even THEN, I will be getting shit about this when I get back home, So do me a favor and stuff it." she said darkly...
"*Ahem* Miss Light, we fixed the teleporters." A Voice said.... as Gul-Gen said as he walked in... backed up with some guards.... after all, after that last attack on MHHQ..... "And, as always.... everyone lets their minds wander and such..." He said as he lightly shooed Jess from her chair and sat in her place.
"and the first thing we must do is put this suspicious nature you're all giving off to rest." he said before looking at EVERYONE in the room. "Unless you really wish to have a Sigma/Hellscream/Endless/Space Pirate/Jenova tag team on our hands..." he said.
Jess was about to let out a VERY frustared sigh when a pair of hands reached out and grabbed her... and pulled her into a very deep and passionate kiss.
"Hey baby... I missed you... a lot." Wolfang said, having Teleported in seconds after the Chozo elder.

Sunstorm nodded in agreement to Guigen's statement while Dirge fumed over the double standards held by their new allies. "We are only helping our enemies by pointing fingers. Despite Dirge's statement, we do appreciate your help here on cybertron Jessica." As she and Gui-Gen exchanged positions, he looks into his direction and smiles. "Agreed. It's good to meet someone else spiritually enlightened Gui-Gen. What would you suggest our next move be?"

"Well, I do need permission from your council to be the rather quick building of the 'Mini' Space bridge generator that will send cybertron back to it's normal orbit." Gul-gen said to SunStorm... while noting Dirge's fuming... He almost wanted to sigh but, he figured it that Jess had once AGAIN lit the fire under his butt...
... which, while annoying, he knew it had it's merits.... which in this case allowed him to see this new council for what it is...
and to him... so far, he would have no real problems... Save, maybe one issue...
~SunStorm, I wish to speak with you in reguards to a rather private matter that MIGHT effect the relationship between Cybertron and the Chozo... and given your state of enlightenment, I feel you would be the best one to tell.~ He telepathically told Sunstorm while keeping his rather peaceful demenor.
"We're allready working on the one for earth but it still would be improper to just go ahead and build it out right without getting permission." the Chozo said.

IC: Elita-1 and Stingray ::Had just about enough of what was going on Elita-1 slammed her fist on the table as she stood this was getting everyone no where and she needed to get some fresh air or at least vent off at everyone. This wasn't like this durning the great war everyone worked together not aruge with each other then again she was in a different world and things have change so much it sometimes hurt her more than one could realize she just wished she could be with someone on her level::
IC: Stingray ::Stood up with Grapple and Cliffjumper in her arms as she followed Elita towards the exit, putting a hand on Elita's shoulder:: "Elita I know how you feel its been hard for me too it's not like way back when everyone worked together we will get through this one way or another I promise you that," Stingray said softly.

Cheets rested her head on the table as Elita slammed on the table. /Primus I have a killer head ache.../ she thought rubbing her head. This kind of slag hadn't bothered her much before ehr change, but this this was getting to be a royal mess.
Raiseing her head Cheets nodded. "Go ahead and build it. But I want you to run several simulations before either are fired up. I don't want either planet to be come an asteroid belt."

Sunstorm looks towards GuiGen, nodding in return towards the elder chozo. "YOu have our full support in the matter Guigen... my apologies again for Dirge's accusation. Even though it's been a few years since the end of the Great War, some of us still remember the things done by factions of the terrans." Dirge sighs and explains. "My apologies as well. After the accusations thrown out... I couldn't help but remember the RAAT. Though Takedown's side suffered more from their hands then ours as well. Our support is thrown out into the pot as well." Blast-Off speaks up carefully after a moment, looking in the Chozo's direction. "Do we have any more information about the drones that attacked Earth?..."
