Windwhisper's blinks as she notices the strange tendril thingy advance toward her "What the fraggin' hell?" after all as a medic on a team of nut cases; she's very good at dodging (that and if necessary she's more than fast enough to get out of a situation she can't handle). Careful to not appear too dangerous she moves into a slightly defensive stance. "Can someone explain please?" she asks the majority of her attention on the pod and tendril ready to defend herself if need be.

The tendril continues to advance, slowly at first, but a few feet from Windwhisper it suddenly darts forward between her legs, and before she can react extends into the hallway.
"Energy is increasing... it would seem that it is seeking out light sources. The process may finish faster with more illumination."

Windwhisper is startled at the sudden increase in speed and prepares to strike the offending tendril before the explanation is given. Hearing this she nods "I see...unusual but understandable. Anything I can do to assist?" well that and Windy's curious as to what the heck's going on.

Needlenose looks back to Windwhisper for a moment silently, trying to think how to best explain the situation. "Upgrade gone weird." she replies, the easiest way to put it. "Well, if it's seeking out light... I know it's not a normal medic thing, but since you've been an old-school cybertronian as well..." Needlenose adds for a moment as she aims her makeshift flashlight upwards. "We should try to rewire the lights, see if we can bring them back online. Though her on-board computer suggested poking the shell as well a little bit ago."

Stronghug ::Walked back to the main part of medbay to see the it was torn to pieces. She quickly looks around for Slag and Halfpint at first she didn't see them anywhere, she stepped back a few steps the she found both of them in a corner it looked like that Slag's arm was hurting her from the expression on her face.
She quickly walked over to them seeing Halfpint was okay, "Slag are you okay?" she asked with concern.
Slag nearly jumped out of her armor when she heard Strong's voice, "yeah I'm okay Strong moved my arm the wrong way it hurts a little, Halfpint is okay I made sure of that," Slag said quietly.
Strong smile at Slag, "do you know what happened in her?" she asked.
"I'm not sure what happened it happened really fast I think it has to do something do with Sonbok, it looks like she is in a coocon don't ask why you might want to ask Needlenose," Slag said quietly.

The cocoon pulsated a bit faster. "Metabolic increase due to photosynthetic reaction..." Several more tendrils issued forth, all heading towards the door with little care for any obstacles in their path. One of which probably would have taken off Windwhisper's head had another not accidentally knocked her over in it's haste. Outside the door, the light from the outside started to dim... not the like in the medbay when the lights were accidentally destroyed... but more like a sunny day when thunder clouds started to roll in.
In the dimming light of the medbay, Sobok's computer droned apologetically, "It would seem that some base elements are missing from this environment that host Sobok needs for the transformation to complete..." More tendrils started to emerge, but there was something different about these. "Silica, boron, magnesium, calcium, selenium..." In the darkness the glint of something smooth and sharp was evident, something at the end of the tendrils. "This unit would advise locating them quickly, as I believe the more hostile nature of the donor organism is manifesting itself to hunt for them... by any means necessary." What could only be the vegetable equivalent of teeth flashed in the darkness, a chittering sound eminating from the new appendages.
(ooc: Whoever looks outside is going to find that the whole "more light" thing might not be the best of ideas... the hall is literally clogged with vegetation. Being as this is a med bay, the materials needed should be here... finding them in all this mess would be the trick though)

Windwhisper was a little too shocked at this as she dodged one tentacle she found herself knocked over by another narrowly missing one that might have taken her head off. "Yeah well I might have been old school and seen a lot of weird things but this cocoon thing is new to me too" she replied. Well aside from the one time where Beedrill had decided to build a hive due to a slight 'fault' in her programming.
Windwhisper stared "Are those teeth?!" she asked "Heck I think we should probably find those things it wants...I have no desire to be partially or completely eaten" she suggested quickly.

Halfpint squeaks lightly as he spots the toothed appendage, trying to point his tiny arm in the direction of it to get Stronghug's attention."Uh, mom..." He manages to mutter before shrinking into Slagcruncher's grip on himself. He'd really like to run at the moment, but she's got too big of a grip on her. Needlenose's eyes widen a bit as she looks forward, not wanting to be someone's lunch this day. "Uh, yeah... any idea what products they would be in?" She replies as she slowly starts to back away, glancing over to Windwhisper. "I'm not exactly a chemist here... more of the general form of pediatrician." She manages to add quietly, trying to right one of the tipped over tables and move it away from one of the cabinets.

"If this is a standardly equipped medbay, the tissue regeneration fluid contains a lot of the substances..." The tendrils began attacking the broken glass on the floor from the lights, "... it would appear they have discovered a source of silica. The more rare element, selenium, can be found in what is commonly referred to as... dandruff shampoo." The computer continued, "Metabolic changes are continuing..." Some of the tendrils began to slither towards the denizens of the bay.
(ooc: The glass buys you guys a post at best... heh. Better get to finding that stuff... grin)

Windwhisper snorts "Yeah I'm a battlefield medic so I use them; but I don't always know where to find them. Although I've had to deal with a ravenous insecticon before so I have some idea what I'm looking for." She is saved from adding much more by the computer "I never imagined me shouting this; but...QUICK find some shampoo!" and with that she darts to the side and starts to rifle through cabinets at a rather startling speed.
"Found something that contains magnesium..." she pauses before throwing a decent sized sample of Magnesite towards the tentacles advancing towards some of the other denizens of the med bay.
"Calcium can be found in things like Bones, limestone and...well dairy products. Boron can be found in some types of crystals such as Borax and minerals such as Ulexite...or volcanic spring water. Do we have any of those or do I need to think of more places these things can be found?" Windwhisper asked as she returned to rifling through cupboards and draws.
(OOC: Google is my friend XD)

IC: Stronghug ::sees the tenderial heading towards her she manages to avoid it she moves in closer to Slag and Halfpint. She listens to Windwhisper and Needlenose her eyes nearly bulged out:: "Slag this not good, have to find a way out of here I don't think I want to be on the weeds lunch menu." Looking down at Halfpint she smiles a little, "You don't have to worry Halfpint I'll protect you those nasty weeds won't hurt I promise you."
IC: Slagcruncher: "Yeah Halfpint, I might have a bad arm but I still can help sheild you as well, any idea of how we are going to move out of here without being lunch?" Slag asked.
Strong ::was silent for a few moment as she was thinking of away to move out of medbay, she carefully thinks::

A tendril quickly grabbed at the magnesite, and proceeded to envelope it. A loud crunching sound could be heard over the commotion. Inside the cabinet a few vitamin suppliment bottles could be seen, but it was difficult to see what they were in the dim light.
The only passage out of the medbay was the door, which by now was completely overgrown with foliage from the hallway growth. The only other possibility, the vent system, involved searching the floors for access points in the dark... which meant dealing with homicidal tendrils at close range.
The sounds of the cocoon expanding again filled the dark room, the sound of the hard shell cracking under pressure from the new growth.

Mantessa slowed as she reached the medbay, staring at the foliage. *What the slag?? Do I really want to go in htere??* She hesitated again, nearly coming to a complete stop as she eyed the tentacles. *They called for a medic, but...I don't think I can do this. I'm not exactly a gardener, here...*

"Thank god, Mantessa!" Came a shout from inside the room as Needlnose made her way over to the cabinet, attempting to pull out a few containers and examine them. "We need selenium, as quick as you can get it... Sobok's dealing with some kind of mutation and she needs that, Calcium, and... uhh.... Boron. Did you bring your chemistry kit with you onto the ship?" She asks, reading over the labels. Half-pint blinks for a few moments before looking up at Stronghug. "Mom, there should be dairy product in one of the refrigeration units... I saw Blitzwing getting some for her kids the other day." He responds lightly, pointing over to a corner as much as he can.

The tentacles outside the medbay were behaving strangely. At first they had contented themselves with maximizing the foliage in order to capture the available light... but now they seemed to be bunching together... and one had the distinct look of a smaller version of Sobok's cocoon. Several toothy looking tendrils prowled around to be sure, but none of them seemed interested in Mantessa as of yet.
Within the bay though, the tendrils were far more active, ripping apart small boxes of medical supplies, the bed cushions, and in one case the very circuits of a healing tank. The sound of crunching metal was everywhere.
(ooc: At this point some people are gonna get jumped... heh. I leave it up to the players whether or not they're targetted. These things aren't strong, but they are numerous.)
