Stronghug looked down at Halfpint, "Alright I don't think I'm going to be able to get over and the dairy product not through this mess of a jungle. Slag I know your arm is still injured could you give it a try? Halfpint would you try also?" Strong asked both of them.
Slagcruncher: "Yeah I think I can and if Halfpint down here if would like to try also I think between the both of us we might be able to get the dairy product what do you say Halfpint?" Slag asked the little tike.

Windwhisper had to fend off one of the tentacles for a moment using a broken cabinet door as a shield "Damnit." So she did what any sane person would do. Used her phenomenal speed to get the hell away. Locating another of the medical cuboards she starts rifling through it chucking things behind her as she looks for some other elements. "No.... no....no that's not it....no....no...umm that might work." With that she chucked a crystal containing a small portion of boron at an advancing tentacle.
Windwhisper sighed as she scampered away and began literally digging through several piles of dumped and discarded items. "Anyone found anything?" she calls out.

Halfpint nods lightly up towards stronghug before getting up and transforming into beast mode, using the agility and smallness of his kitty beast mode to attempt to dodge the various vines. As he pads his way over, he can't help but feel like this situation reminds him of something... but he can't put his fingers on it. If only he had access to his former life's memories...

Slagcruncher ::transforms to here beast mode although it kind of hurt her arm but she just gritted her teeth and bared the pain in her beast mode she would be able to dodge the vines quicker.
She quickly followed Halfpint as she dodged and slid under the vines without getting knocked over for the moment as she managed to catch up with the little tike::
Stronghug ::defended herself as she whacked the vines away carefully without hurting if she could help it::

Mantessa stared, and started when she was addressed. "Huh? Yeah, yeah, I have my kit with me..." She got to work, sorting through what she had. *Selenium, selenium....c'mon, don't fail me now!* "What started all this off, anyway??"

As if in response to Mantessa's query, a pair of bright red lights blazed to life within the cocoon. The vines seemed to calm a bit, even as the creepiness factor went up by a factor of ten.
"Host Sobok is awake..." The computer's voice wavered a bit, "... but her brain chemistry is still a bit off... she is operating an a completely instinctive level."
The tendril closest to Windwhisper snatched up the crystal and began devouring it, several other tendrils attacking various cabinets around the medbay. There was a loud cracking sound as the cocoons in the hallway began to split open, small claws tearing through the thin membranes.
"It would appear she has evolved more... advanced forms... for locating the final chemicals needed. I cannot guarantee they will not devour the crew outside of the medbay in an effort to procure selenium..."
(ooc: No pressure, lol)

Windwhisper scurried around still digging around throwing smaller portions of the various chemicals at the tendrils hoping to keep them off her. That is before the next startling revelation. "Eaten?! What the heck?" she replied sounding startled. "My team-mates are out there" she paused for a moment as she tried to contact the rest of her team.
((OOC: Time for some backup me thinks?))

Needlenose winced as she watches the new growths form. "Um... well... Sobok's scanned some of the local wildlife and needs the right minerals to finish going plant 'Tessa." She responds, moving back and away from a tenacle sharply. "Yeah, we could probably use some help keeping this under containment windwhisper... I'd really not want to explain to the captain what happened." She responds before bumping into another of the structures. "Oh slag it."

Windwhisper nodded "Yeah okay I'll call them and let them know what's going on" she replied before opening a link to the rest of her team >>Errr guys; we kinda have a problem down here in the medbay...could you err... help us out a little?<< she asked sounding a little strained as she had to split her attention between her link and her keeping away from the tenticles.
Thankfully Sky answered her >>Well we were on our way there anyhow; what's the problem?<< the Ranger leader replied; still a little injured from the fight with Skyjack and co.
>>Err well someone named Sobok's kinda undergoing a metamorphosis and requires certain chemicals and things. She's in some kind of big cocoon thing at the moment...we could use help keeping the whole thing contained.<< Windwhisper explained >>Oh and you might get eaten if your not careful<<
Sky's simple answer was >>Oh...do they burn?<<
>>I don't know<< she replied before asking out loud "Are these things flammable?"
>>Hmm never mind; we're on our way. I'll think of something on the way there<<
>>Can you get us some Selenium while your at it?<< Windy asked
It was Beedrill who replied >>I'll go look for some and meet the rest of you outside the medbay<<
>>Make it quick!... things are getting hairy in here<< Windy replied.
>>Understood. See you in a moment<<
"My team's on their way; judging by the signal strength they'll be here really soon." Windwhisper told Needlenose. "Anything you want me to tell them?"
Said Ranger team (minus Beedrill) were making their way up the hall way at this very moment.

Slagcruncher ::Finally Slag made across the room that was a huge challenge and she was still dodging the vines and such, while she was looking for the one chemcial. She switched to her bot mode one of the vines nicked her bad arm she cursed under her breath as she whacked it back with a pipe:: "Come on Slag find this chemcial and get back before you end up lunch or something else," She muttered.
Strong ::Was barely holding her ground as she kept fighting back the vines also:: "Telling you I'm not going to be eating any toss salad for a very long time," she muttered whacking down another vine.

A low snarling emitted from several of the pods, and with a sickening tearing sound several of the new creatures crawled out. They were small, wet, lumps of fleshy vegetation... if vegetation could look like giant tumors with claws, teeth, and one beady eye in the center of their body. They moved slowly, ponderously... trailing an umbilicus from their pod.
Rather than attack, they seemed to be contemplating their immediate viscinity... crawling across the ground, occasionally sniffing at the air with giant nostrils that seemed to run the length of their arms... obviously on the search for the wayward chemical. The sound that came from them a nightmarish cross between a moan and a chattering of teeth.
One of them fixed it's eye on Windwhisper, sniffled in her direction, and made a small chittering sound. Almost in unison, the group of half formed monstrosities turned towards her... slowly crawling towards their next meal.

"What on cybertron's metallic soil?..." Needlenose responded as she looked up at the new growths that had started to form from the mess before them. "Sobok, if you eat me, so help me primus I'm going to give you indigestion!" She practically snarled as she tried to make her way over to Windwhisper.

Windwhisper paused as she stared at the things that pulled themselves out of their pods "Fascinating" she murmured before all attention seemed to focus on her. "Oh come on! ...Just not my freaking day is it" she grumbled >>I think I may soon be eaten. Please hurry your pretty little feathered behind up Sky or so help me; you'll regret it<<
With that Windwhisper edged slowly away waiting for something to happen so she could at least move out of the way.
>>We're here Windy don't panic<< Sky replied as she for lack of a better word 'forced' her way into the medbay; flame-thrower in hand. "Soooo ....yeah Day of the Triffids mark 2 anyone?"
Shadow just blinked and decided not to comment; the dragoness transformer flicked her tail at a tentacle and idly wondered just how ugly things could get. She unsheathed her gunblade.
"Well Beedrill should be here soon with the selenium-ishy-thingy...yeah stuff" Saber added thoughtfully.
Darkclaw just stared...and stared some more. "I think I might be developing a plant phobia" she muttered.

Slag saw the creepy crawlers head for Windwhisper she had to do something but she was on the other side of the room maybe she could get back to the other side and help Windwhisper and the others. She transformed back to her beast mode and made her way back across the room weaving in and around the vines and mess. '"This is so weird I don't even want to think about being lunch I probably would give someone some nasty heartburn."
Strong finally caught her breath for a moment then she saw the creapy crawler too she moved towards Windwhisper as well. "You know I hate when lunch bites back."

The monstrosities paused, looking at Needlenose in confusion as if something said had gotten through to them. "Sho..." Their mouths lacked the necessary parts to form words, but after a few tries they started combining sounds from each other, making an amalgamated sound that sounded like dozens of mad men with no tongues speaking as one.
"Sho-buk dreeems... Sho-buk sreeps..." They sniff the air again in Windwhisper's direction, "Dis wuun haus wot huunger for... wake sreep..." Their teeth chitter with excitement, "Sho huuungreee..." Despite their words though, this new concept of communication has haulted their advance.
