"Hunger for wake sleep?..." Needlenose responded quietly in response. "Uh... what does she need for 'wakesleep'?... hopefully not any of us, right?" She almost regrets the question as soon as she asks it, cringing in reaction.

Slagcruncher heard Needlenose and she didn't like that at all, besides she didn't want to be the meal for the killer plant.
Stronghug *shook her head* "Oh brother do I really want to know? I hope we can find something that will satafize the hunger for the plant."

Windwhisper let out a rather undignified squeak "What? Don't tell me they want to eat me?!" because that would really put a downer on her future plans.
Shadow just shrugs and looks around..."Sooo....no hacking and smashing?" she asks no-one in particular.
Darkclaw just hmphs and starts to make her way towards Windwhisper intent on helping her team mate out.
Sabre stands at the door way and charges her rifle ready to take potshots and the various tentacle things that may attempt to damage her companions. She has to noticeably resist making a dumb joke.
Beedrill in the mean time has found the chemicals she was looking for and (whilst carrying them) is pelting headlong down a corridor to get to the medbay. >>I've got them; hold on I'm coming!<< She transmitts
Sky just nods "Beedrill's got the chemicals and she's on her way. So can please don't eat anyone" she tells the strange plant like thing and anyone who cares to listen. However she also readies her flame-thrower...her team-mate is far more important than these tentacle things.

"Sho-buk dreeems... Sho-buk sreeps..." The chitter nervously, swaying like blades of grass in a gentle wind. "Che-meek-als... no eat if wake sreeping Sho-buk... we wait..." Almost reluctantly the creatures squat down and seem to relax a bit. Their eyes and teeth remain facing their potential prey. In a low murmur the group singsongs in their chittering group voice, "Sho-buk sreeps... dreeeems... we are no Sho-buk... "
Several of the forms seem to be evolving further, more intricate patterns and lines forming as their carapaces harden... others wander over to Sobok's cocoon and meld into it.
As if sensing the question, the most advanced looking one says in a raspy but singular voice. "Sobok dreams... Sobok sleeps... the sleeper must awaken..." What was once a tumorous looking slug of flesh was becoming more and more defined, still monstrous looking, but oddly enough it seemed to be forming sections of armor... as if copying the beings around it.
Of the several dozen forms that emerged, a mere five remain. Each a different nightmarish image, but all vaguely similar. Their tentacle lifelines to the main cocoon now shrivelling as they become self sufficient.
"Hungry... want to eat. Why food make us wait?" One groused. Another shook it's head, "Sobok commands it..." One turned it's single eye at Windwhisper, "... pretty one has what we need... pretty pretty..." As if in agreement the smallest of the group adds, "... but so does... Beeee Drill... willing sacrifice make better tribute."
ooc: Individuality is new to them... but these guys do look vaguely Cybertronian despite their monstrous forms.

Needlenose watches in astonishment as the process continues. It was only after the most advanced of the remaining drones speaks up that she snaps out of it. "... You want one of the combiner components..." She manages to mutter to herself, looking over the forms before her. "Enough plus Sobok to make her own... Though putting it as a sacrifice isn't quite the best way to convince us to be willing-" She pauses for a moment before staring at the single-eyed individual amongst the group. Something stirred in her memories, a story from her mother from the War of the Spark... "...Dengaki?.." She asked. It was rare for her to encounter a single-eyed Cybertronian these days... especially one relating to Sobok's own history. "Can't be... I thought you were in charge of Necropolis these days..."

"Com-bine? No..." The largest one continues to eye Needlenose, "... need chemical... you full of it... sacrifice to wake Sobok. Will you taste as pretty-pretty?"
"Combine-ah... what is combine-ah?" The smallest of the group seemed hung up on that word.
The hungry one groused, "Com-ponents sound good too... they tasty?"
"Gaki? What is Gaki?" A thoughtful looking one that had been quiet up until now looked around as if hoping to stumble upon the mysterious word's meaning.

From where Slagcruncher was standing she she could hear the conversation and she didn't like it that much she really didn't want to lunch for this plant her weapon was ready if it was need besides she need to protect Halfpint speaking of Halfpint she looked around to see where he was. Slagcruncher couldn't see where Halfpint was she whispered his name, "Halfpint where are you can't see you?" Hoping that the plant didn't hear her whisper for Halfpint.
Stronghug also listened to the conversation from where she was and didn't like where this conversation was going she just hoped that the chemical that the plant was looking could be found and things would hopfully settle down.

Windwhisper blinked "Umm thanks for the pretty comment but, I'm not food. Though judging by your need for chemicals I suppose the nature of our combiner process probably makes us more edible than most...." she trails off
Darkclaw rolls her optics "Windy now is not the time to go all scientific on us" she sounds a little frustrated as she tries to make her way towards Windwhisper.
Sky growls "You're not eating any of my team. Beedrill has the chemical in a separate form, you can have that" she replies aiming her flame-thrower at the seeming lead member of the group.
Sabre takes aim at the creatures nearest Windwhisper they make one wrong move towards her team mate; she will fire.
Shadow is currently perching on a broken cupboard with her gun-blade ready and an interested look on her face as she watches the process.
It is at this time when Beedrill barges in through the doorway of the medbay with the chemicals in her arms "Never fear Beedrill is here!" she calls out "now...what do I do?" she asks as she observes the creatures and the large cocoon thingy. "I feel like I just stepped into an old horror film" she comments idly.

The largest one eyed the chemical container, "Sacrifice small... but acceptable." He pointed to the thoughtful one, which was still trying to make sense of the word. "You... Gakigaki... take chemical."
"Me still say com-ponents sound tastey." The hungry one shuffled about uneasily, "Still... we not eat WindyBeedrillothers..." He paused thoughtfully, "... unless Sobok commands."
Confused about his new designation, Gakigaki cautiously approaches Beedrill, looking more scared than anything. "Me take chemical?" It holds out a misshapen hand timidly, almost as if expecting Beedrill to bite it off.

Needlenose rubs her face for a moment, not intending to give the smaller one such a name. Still, seeing the smallest creature's reaction... "It's alright Gaki.... she won't bite." She explains in a calming tone, attempting to keep things nice and simple. Despite their appearances, She doesn't want to provoke a fight at this point. "Everything is...calm. Let's all... relax." Of course, all of this is spoiled as Half-Pint manages to come out of the shelf, looking in the direction of the monstrous things and saying the first thing to come to a young boy's mind. "Woah! Cool! Now that was worth being here for!" He practically shouts, ruining any chance of the calm that Needlenose was nursing.

Beedrill just nods "Makes perfect sense" well she is an insecticon ...sorta so munching down on things to get require sustenance probably makes perfect sense to her. Carefully she hands the container over "sure thing; here"
Sky gives a command over the combiner link and the rest of the squad 'appear' to stand down. Though ready to go at a moments notice the group look calm. Sabre's rifle is held at rest but her targeting sensors are still active. Darkclaw moves over and unceremoniously yanks Windwhisper to her feet. The aforementioned medic merely dusts herself off and observes the surroundings carefully.
Shadow however is still perched on top of a cupboard looking somewhat intimidating whether by nature or design is not easily figured out. She does however spare an irritated growl at Half-Pint "Kid shut up" she advises with all the tact of someone who's spent far too long on their own.

The largest creature eyed Half-Pint warily, "Cool? An adequate name..." With a rather smug look he confirmed, "Yes... call me... Cool."
For his part, Gaki nearly jumped out of his skin. Bad enough to be the one dealing with these strange creatures... to have them pop out of nowhere and say weird things was even more unnerving.
The small monstrosity snatches up the container, then quickly scampers over to the central pod. As he approaches tentacles reach towards him, as if anticipating the offering. "Gaki offer Sobok chemicals... NO EAT GAKI!" He gingerly presses the container into a tentacle, which ensnares it instantly and retreats back into the cocoon.
Gaki scampers back to his group and watches as the foliage starts to change, the final transformation shrivelling most of the vegetation still attached to the main cocoon. After a short while, the outer skin of the pod breaks open, a tinny computerized voice now audible. "Host Sobok's transformation 100% complete..."
An arm pushes through the pod, followed by a sputtering head as the rather weary looking Sobok waves to the assembled crew, looking for the most part like she'd just got in from an all night bender. "... eheh... sorry for the mess? Can somebody help me out of here?"
For their part, the monstrosities are completely dumbfounded. The built up godlike image in their minds being met with the reality having pretty much left them a mix of new emotions they have no idea how to process.

Needlenose hurried over, grabbing onto sobok's arm and pulling. 'What the unicron happened? Why'd you start birthing ... 'kids' like that?' she asked roughly.
Half-pint meanwhile ran over to the panicing Gaki before poking him lightly. He was in an investigative mood, it seems.

Strong heard Half-pint and she just rolled her eyes only Half-pint would do that she shook her head as the last of the transformation finished she was relieved this was finally over it was interesting but she didn't want go through this again.
Walking over to Half-pint putting her hand on his shoulder, "Half-pint next you do that I'm going ground you for a month's worth of cleaning. You scared the slagging bolts out of me not to mention giving me a few gray hair in the process leave Gaki alone please I really don't want you to end up lunch or something else." Strong said quitely.
Slagcruncher sighed releif that it was over as well her arm was aching so bad she had switch over to her bot mode she held her injured arm and she sat down on the floor and closed her eyes for a moment.
