Merkava smiles in response. "Have you seen the parks in Polyhex? They're surprisingly peaceful and soothing considering their origins. Some... unique artwork there as well as parto f the scenery." He thought for a moment, before realizing what he said. "Not like Slog I mean! ....well, sort of. But more memorials made from former bodies then what he peformed." He explains, embarrassed at his possible mistake.

When Stingray heard Merkava say parks in ployhex saying they were surprisinly peaceful and soothing from their orgins hearing his voice kindo f trail off then he spoke again saying there was unique artwork in the park as well.
She had to raise her eye brow at that there was a smile knowing that the cons were never peace and never will be not until they the power to take over and rule over everyone. It couldn't hurt to go and see the park maybe he could show Merkava some of the nice spots around Iacon as well. "Guess it wouldn't hurt to go and see the parks in Ployhex, never liked going to enemy land for the fear of getting slagged or have a plasma cannon firing at ya." she winked at him.

Merkava couldn't help but blush. "Ehhh... don't need to worry about it this time." He responded with a smirk. "I'm one of our equivalent of the Elite Guard, even if it was bad as it was in the old days.... shooting a guest of mine would be like tie dying megatron's helmet. No one in their right mind would give it a second of thought." He manages to place a hand gently, if not nervously on her shoulder as he starts to lead the way. After all... they have just met, so he doesn't want to appear... frisky.

As Merkava gently sets his hand on her shoulder she tenses a moment it's been a very long time since anyone has touched her in this way she smiled she followed Merkava to Ployhex's parks.
"In return should show you some of the beautiful flower gardens and parks around Iacon," Stingray said softly
"You are an equivalent of the Elite Guard? Now that's very interesting wondering what I'm getting myself into?" she grined slyly.

"Well, something better then if the rest of my team was involved...." Merkava responded with a chuckle before looking at her. "They uh.... at least one of them makes the combaticon name proud with their heritage. The others do to some degree... but they're no where as near as bad as Vortex." He seems a little irritated by the name. "It's a sad day when the son makes the father look like a saint.... I'm sorry Stingray, I'm getting off subject. I promise to be a perfect gentleman."

Stingray listened to Merkava say that it was better than the rest of his team was involved, Merkava laughed a little as he looked at her.
She could see he was different than the other Cons, then he says that at least one of them makes the Combaticon name proud of their heritage. And the other team members to a degree, they are nowhere near as bad as Vortex. Hearing the name of Vortex she knew he was one of the Original Combaticons and was a very vicus warrior. She noticed that Merkava was irritated by saying the name. Saying it was a sad day when the son makes the father look the good guy he says he was sorry and he was getting off the subject and promised he would be the prefect gentlelmen.
Stingray chuckled at Merkava, "It's okay at least I know somewhat of what I'm getting into it's good to one's background. Let's see what can I tell you about me. Well I guess I'll start from the beginging I'm not from Cybertron, Cybertron is my second home. I'm from the planet Triton the whole planet was destroyed by Megatron I was the only who survived at least I thought I was until I found my brother Striker, he was with me a short while before he was taken out by the Con's."
Stingray had to bite the anger back it wasn't fair that Striker had to be taken away from her for the second time and a tear slid down her cheek she quickly wiped it away. "I've been with the Autobots for a very long I pleaged to Optimus when I frist came here that I would help him defeat the Decepticons and I've been fighting them ever since the great war until now it seems peaceful how long that will last only time will tell. Other than that I'm clever a nearly one of the best sharp shooters the Maximal's have and I'm an expert in hand to hand combat only taught by the best lol, I'm willing to help others, have a wonderful personaility," she had to think if there was anything else and she couldn't think of anything else.
"I'm sure if you read my military record you will be pretty impressed with it," Stingray said with a smile.

Merkava hugs her as she starts to tear up, listening to every word. "It can be hard to lose a loved one I've been told... you wouldn't believe it if you looked at him, but you can tell Starscream's lost something since his love disappeared." He listens further, nodding while he retains his one armed hugg. Merkava smiles in response to her mention of a military record. "I'm sure I would be.... it's not many great war survivors that you see out and about these days. Everyone's involved in politics or they're hitting the public relations market..." He responds as they walk through, taking a moment to mutter. "Like certain former decepticon pretenders..." He starts to speak up as he thinks about it. "How many more 'fanservice' poses can they find to use in the holo magazines..."

Merkava hugs her with one arm comforting her, saying it can be very hard to lose a friend or loved one you deeply care for. And she cared deeply for Striker, at least she knew that he was in a place where there wasn't any war, heartache and pain. She sighed deeply it has been far, far too long since she had anyone embrace her for any kind of comfort because she had withdrawn from everything lately muttering lowly, "until we meet again bro."
Stingray wanted to return the hug but decided not to only because it didn't feel right at the moment. Also hearing him say that he would be interested in looking at her Military record and it's not very many greatwar survivors that anyone sees out and about these days. It seems like everyone is involved in some kind of politics or they are hitting the public relations spot light... as they continue to walk she sensed he was thinking of something. Then he speaks agains saying something of a former decepticon pretenders and how many more quote on qoute fanservice poses can they find to use in holo magazines.
Heraing the politics part she had to blush maybe she should tell Merkava that she is a member for the Maximal Council. "I don't know about the fanservice thing but..." she had to let her words trail off and choke down the lump in her vocial processor, "I hate to say this Merkava I'm a member of the Maximal Council I was asked by a certain friend to be part of the Maximal Council becasue a few of the other members well for uncertain reasons not sure of more or less Chubized themselves with enhancers. And well as you can see I did the same but I only wanted to take a few years off lol well it took more than off." She blushed even more.

Merkava couldn't help but chuckle. "Well that much is obvious Stingray... I don't know of many former great war veterans that spontaneously remain teenagers." He poked her lightly in the shoulder in jest. "Just saying, as you said earlier... the decepticons need a lot of good will work for all the mishaps of the past. Unfortunately, a few of them have realized the effect of a sexy holo-mag cover or two can have on the general populace." He takes a moment to stop before one of the statues, showing a statue-esque looking decepticon in a combat pose. The plaque below it reads 'Above all else... I will retain my honor. -Catilla' which might surprise Stingray considering he had 'gone native' in the past with his time working with autobots. Merkava speaks up after a few minutes. "My dad would probably clobber me for saying this... but Catilla had a point. Without honor... there is no accomplishment in combat. He's the kind of decepticon I try to honor with this badge... one that may have fought... but he did not lose himself to the fighting. You know?"

Hearing Merkava chuckle about her being part of the Maximal Council and saying that he didn't know many of hte former great war vets like herself remain a teeny.
Stingray more or less blushed at Mekava lightly poked her in the shoulder, which kind of annoyed Sneaks and he hissed at Merkava saying next time you poke her I'm going to bite your hand off.
"Sneaks enough of the hissing and being protective Merkava was poking me for fun back off and say you are sorry to Merkava. Sorry about that Sneaks is very protective of me always has always will be."
Sneak shook his head and snorted, he chattered lightly and holding his paw out saying he was sorry for hissing at Merkava.
Merkava also said that the Decepticons needed a lot of good will work for all the damage and mishaps form the past. Shaking her head, "that will be the day when I see the cons do good will work to make up for all the wrong they done I'll keel over," she smiled. Knowing all to well that the cons will never do that much good will work if not any for all the damage they have done in the past. Also saying that there were a few of them have realized the effect of a sexy holo-magazine cover or two can have on the gerneral crowd.
Stingray saw Merkava look at a statue esque looking like a Decepticon in a fighting stance. A plauge below said, 'Avove all eles... I will retain my honor. For some reason she had heard that phrase before thinking for a moment shaking her head again the bot that was with Ratchet was Catilla and the statue was Catilla. Catilla must have been switched over to a girl with an enhancer, or Catilla was still a guy the thought sends a chill down Stingray's back, how could Ratchet like another guy? Shaking her head, shoving that thought to the back of her mind.
Merkava speaks up again saying that his dad would proboably knock his head off for saying what he was going say that Catilla had a point, without honor that no one can get anything done in combat and that Cailla was a Decepticon that Merkava tires to honor with the badge and does that might fight, but he didn't lose himself to fighting.
Stingray smiled as she nodded her head, she couldn't agree more with Merkava, "You got that right, and there is an old saying from Optimus but you think I can can remember the old saying nope can't remember it slag wish I could it was a wise old saying." Stingray said sadly and she blushed a little more.

Merkava looks to Stingray for a moment before smirking. "Would it be...I’m sorry there are only three of you. Clobbering less than four Decepticons at a time is boring?" He couldn't help but chuckle to himself for the moment. "And I'm guessing you're wondering about Catilla... as far as I know, like the other pretenders he was ressurected as a girl." He looks forward to the statue for a moment. "Though now that I think about it, sounds like your friend had a type."

She saw Merkava smirk at something then saying, would it be, oh he was sorry there are only three of you. Clobbering less than 4 Decepticons at a time would be boring, and he chuckled. Then he said that she was wondering about Catilla and as far as he knew like the other pretenders he was converted to a girl.
Stingray raised her eye brow and kind of shivered at the thought of being converted to a guy that felt so very wrong then again she was different or even maybe strange whatever. At least Ratchet was with a girl even though she was a he at one time shaking her head she didn't even want to know.
Merkava looked at the statue for a moment then spoke saying that her firend had a type.
Stingray was silent for a few moments before speaking she wanted to make sure she didn't mess up what she was going to say she knows what she wants to say but sometime the words come up different than what she wanted to say.
"Well for starters taking a 4 Decepticons at one time is a lot of fun and a challenge for a bot my size though for your size please I hope you are offened. For your size it would be easy for you to take on 4 or more Decepticons or Autobots at one time though it would be a challenge as well. Though I perfer the one on one battles I'm better fighting one on one always have been that way. Don't get me wrong I'll jump into a fight when a friend needs help I can fight 4 Decepticons it's a task and challenge once in while.
As for Ratchet yes he does have a type of others being strong willed, compassante and honest. I wish things didn't have to end on a sour note like it did. We were very close, he helped me through some very diffuclt times durning the Great War and after the Great War as well, there is another bot who has helped me more than I can ever say thank-you." She said with a smile.
Taking a breath looking at Merkava, "now that you have shown me some of the park around Polyhex. How about I show you around some of the parks in Iacon and one of my favorite parks and get you another Energon Smoothie I more or less took when you offered it to me?" Stingray softly.

Merkava glanced over to her with a smile. "Oh, I do believe that would be a treat. After you?" He responds before bowing out of the way. "It isn't often I have a reason to look around Iacon... So many people tend to stare at this bulky combat frame rather then the gentle spark inside, you know?" He explains with a slight chuckle.

Stingray smiled as she lead the way to Iacon, she just hoped that she wasn't going shake the Hornet's nest for bringing a Decepticon to Iacon. She knew both of the factions at the moment have a tense releationship one bad move could shatter the releationship between the factions, also hoping a fight wouldn't break out or the other Autobot's, Maximal's and and so wouldn't give her a hard time nor give her the dirty look either that was the last thing she needed at the moment. Though nothing happened when she visited Polyhex maybe she would get the same results.
Once they reached Iacon Stingray showed Merkava around the popular parks of Iacon she said very little she wasn't sure what to say only spoke about the parks but that was about all she could say. And to Stingray's surprise no one said anything and for thematter giving her that dirty look either. Sighing to herself she wa glad nothing has happneded so far and she hope it would stay this way.
Stopping at the first concession stand at the entrace of her favorite park out of Iacon, she loved the park for the beauty and peace, "Excuese me Merkava I'll be right back," Stingray said smiling as she stepped up to the stand and ordered two energon smoothies a couple of minutes later she paid for the drinks and then walked over to Merkava and handed his drink to him, "sorry for being kind of quite kind of lost for words, not used to talking to the Decepticons like this use to talking insults," Stingray said sadly as she took a sip of her smoothie.
Stepping over to a rosebush that was near her looking over to Merkava, "what do you think of Iacon so far? this park out of the park in the area is my favorite because of the beauty, and the flowers it reminds of my home that is no more. It's very peaceful here even the kiddies play quietly here. I spendquite a bit of my free time here when I'm off duty," she smiled.
Snipping of signal rose she turned around to Merkava, "I know the gentlemen is to give flowers to the lady, in this case I'll give you the flower for friendship I hope," Stingray winked, smiled more or less blushed when she handed the rose to Merkava.

Merkava takes the rose and smoothie gently, blushing a bit despite his metal exterior. "I'm all for the reversal of roles..." He responds softly and maybe a little intimidated by the gesture. "It's quite lovely around here.... I can see why so many fought for it's defense. Only half of my family would have probably undestood as well." He responds calmly, looking around with a smile. "I've told Onslaught Jr he needs to look around and smell the roses sometimes... but he always takes it as a joke."
