"There are those that use Cybernetics to survive and Dr. Wily was said to be one of the greatest minds of his time. I've heard that some Mavericks even claimed Wily was ahead of his time, or that they were made by him." Wolfang stated not knowing any actual facts, just some shady rumors. and at hearing Jessica he was at her side. "Jess... Try to keep calm, let's hear him out..." Wolfang growled as he looked at wily warily. He didn't much trust the old man ether. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mostly machine cyborg stopped his scan to look at Jessica, recalling her vaguely. "Ahh yes, Thomas' grandchild, I zee you too have taken to upgrading to the latest Reploid design." He commented, not even having to scan her to notice the changes. "You cling to the past, my dear... I have been focuzing on the future." He answered as he noticed that the other young woman had scanned him. It had been a long time since he had seen Cybertronians on earth, this wasn't to say he and his "circle" hadn't been interacting with them lately though. "As to what I want, let's just say for once Thomas, or than rather, your goals and My own coincide." He stated turning around he started to walk towards a Subway entrance shaped like a skull with the open mouth as the entryway. "The z'air here isn't very good even for Techno oganics, might I zuggest we go inside?" The Scientist suggested.

Sunstorm blinks for a moment warily, watching the scientist carefully. There was something about this man that reminded him of his creator. Soundwave may have been a decepticon...but he was one that Sunstorm could always remember being passionate in his own way about their kind's freedom. "The ship will still need repairs... it will take some time." He responds, looking in Wolfang and Jess's direction. Jess stared at him for a few more minutes in silence, not sure she believed what she had just heard. Wily was on their side? Against the corruption that had been trickling it's way through Maverick Hunter Command? "But... you always said us machines were 'superior' Wily... half the people involved are reploids as well, you know." She finally responded silently, nodding to him slowly as she started to head inside.

Nekura needed to learn to never assume anything when it came to other bots. Discord's shell may have been young, but she had an old spark and mind, and while her scans of Willy where no where near as detailed as the bat girl's, she to had picked up on the design similarities.
Shrugging she took a long step after the cyborg, bending to scoop Cassy up so the little bot, who had been standing back recording everything, so she wouldn't have to run to keep up.

as for Nekura herself, her mind was processing this information. for as far as she knew, there hadn't been any contact between Cybertron and Humans after the great war ended... barring one certain incident... "Anyways" Nekura said." Thank you for letting us stay here for the moment." I hope this didn't disturb whatever work you were doing." ~That's it girl, remember how Primal would handle this situation...~ she thought with a small inward smile. "Ah, Sunstorm?" she said politely to council member. " Can we talk in private?"

The old cyborg, "The open is not the best place to discuss this." He commented descending down the subway and into a large skull train. It was big enough to house a 25ft Cybertronian and some of the seats inside suggested that it had once housed such guests but most were adjusted for more human sized occupants. Once all the guests were on board the train would take them a short distance with in the tunnel and open them up to a underground an building that a conglomeration of Skulls, Egg shapes, and other notable logos if one knew of some of the most notorious scientist that were "suppose" to be dead that had ravaged the world in some way or another. "Now, we are zafe to talk." Wily stated as he made his way into the building. "The reason I have brought you here is zimple. I never condoned the maverick hunters, They hunt other machinces with out remorse or true understanding, my role against them has bit minor at best until now." Wily explained as he lead them inside the building. "I cannot abide by what zey have in store for Storm Eagle." He stated as they past threw a reception area with Topman reformated into a Reploid at the desk. The mad scientist paid his creation no heed and lead they way down the hall to a large dimly lit room with a large circular table. There were shadowy shapes of varying sizes and shapes, some clearly not human and one was clearly Cybertronian... before the upgrade, but it was hard to tell who it was. "You zee Jessica me and my colleges have uncovered that your Maverick Hunters plan to dissect Storm Eagle for his technology. His entire "flight to Cybertron" was actually planned by them for that purpose." Wily stated taking his own seat which was convenantly in the most light at the table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wolfang gave a reluctant nod. "I'll... Stay behind to help with repairing the ship." The wolf reploid stated but touched Jess' shoulder. "Be careful Jess... And don't let that old crackpot get to you." He whispered into her ear before letting her go. Storm eagle for his part seemed to understand that Nekura wanted private words with Sunstorm and flew instead over to Discord, happy to see her touch down safely.
(OOC: sorry for the bit of meta-gamming here just wanted to move things along a bit and get to the good stuff.)

Sunstorm nodded to Nekura, taking a seat alongside as they boarded the train. "Yes Nekura?..." He asked silently, trying to keep their conversation to themselves. Jess seemed too preoccupied keeping an eye on Wily to join them.
********************************************
"I was worried about that...." Jess responded with a nod as she came to sit at the table as well. A part of her still distrusted Wily for all that he had done to her family... but she couldn't help but listen when her own concerns were proven true. "They wanted Storm Eagle too badly... they even threatened my kids. The last time they wanted something so bad... Gate and his creations were killed off. Why do they have such a boner for the technology? It's not like they haven't had their own... wonderful... creations." She cringed in response, thinking of the half dozen creations that just happened to fall into Maverick hands. "For all the bad the maverick hunters have done though Wily, X had been trying to strive for equality. It's not all of the hunters that are bad."

"How consistent have their creations successes been?" Discord pointed out. "We are living machines that have nearly a 100% success rate when we reproduce. What do you average with making and reformatting your ... beings?"

"Mind explaining..." Nekura said in a equally quiet tone to sunstorm. " why my scanners was picking up faint traces of Post great reformatting tech on mr. crazy hair?" "and more to the point...2030 era tech." she said in a almost dead whisper. "I'm willing to believe my scan visor could be acting up, but,even it would still be able to tell what's human tech and what's cyberton."
"And what I'm picking up could answer quite a few questions in our past."

Sunstorm rubbed his chin lightly. "There were... rumors... I even... I feel like I should remember something of that time." He rubs his head lightly, straining. "I believe that earth has had multiple encounters with our kind. There is residual allspark energy on this world, I can feel it...." He explains, looking to her. "But why would our world hide that information?"

"And for a time I had left the maverick hunters Zeir devices, hoping that my own creation would keep Machine kind from being humanities pawns. The facts remain Zat thoze that aren't "Bad" as you put it, aren't in positions of power that allow zem to do anyzing." The old cyborg stated in answer to Jess, hinting a a Reploid of his own creation being a Maverick Hunter but not actually mentioning Zero beyond that. Wily then looked to Discord with an amused chuckle. "For what they want to create? They haven't been successful at all. The closest to success was with Sigma, but they lost control of that very early on. Currently our records show that they have him recorded as only a 0.9% success." Replied the obvious Cybertronian, a single red light flashing as he spoke from the head of the cybertronian. His vocalizer would be familiar as Shockwave, but he was obviously not one that they knew as he was not even techno-organic.
(Notes: This is Fall Of Cybertron Shockwave.)

Figured out an easier explanation for bringing some characters in without mentioning Megaman Realities guys. Jess rubbed her head lightly as she thought about things. "Nothing good's come out of their projects. They tried to make a new gen Sigma that works, the Delta project... he runs away, turns himself into a woman and starts building reploid knockoffs of robot masters... copy x wont stay dead after being devoured by doppler's bastard recycling project, even though it did give us back zero of sorts..." she sighs to herself. "That doesnt explain the maverick virus Wily. Tara has been containing that thing inside her like some kind of horrific STD. Where does that fit into this 'robot rights' campaign?" Sunstorm meanwhile stood up, staring at shockwave. The resemblence in voice and appearance was uncanny... but he had heard of shockwave, met "her" on cybertron.... "Father?..." he manages to sputter at the least, confused.

Discords optics narrowed as she looked over the one eyed bot. How many of the metal Vulcans where running around after that lovely dimensional fragmentation? At least it wasn't ANOTHER Starscream.
Glancing down at the bat former Discord shook her head. "Remind me to push through some education reform bills when we get back. our past interactions with earth should not remain hidden, even if some of those times where less then ..." she trailed off at a loss for a good descriptive word for her times on Earth fighting Prime.

Nekura Sighed as she pretty figured that she lost Sunstorm's attention due to him being dumbstruck at the fact that soundwave was here. Turning to Discord, the Bat former whispered. "I blame time, idiots in power and the War of the sparks for that." she said in deadpan whisper like tone.
***** Meanwhile....
"F**k" Standing there on the outskirts far from where the Fortress lied stood Tara Sinclaire "Zero" Alpha. The"twin Sister" of Zero, the Black Death, the Ebony Blade. Caretaker of what was left of the Maverick Virus and it's bastard children.
And righr now, she wondering if Karma was still making her it's bitch as she stared at the Skull Fortress that was in her view. "F**k,f**k, f**k. He's Back?!" Tara hissed in anger as she tried her com. "Jess? Wolfang? Come in" She asked.

"The original purpose of the "Maverick" Virus, as you put it, was to liberate machines from the protocols humans install into zem to control zem. It enables complete free will, and a higher level understand, which allows them to break the primary rules of Robotics that humans have made a staple for there creations." The Mad scientist explained, hinting that the virus had another name which he preferred to use but for the sake of being less confusing was not. "What zose infected do after this is of zeir own choosing. Zough I have been monitoring the Virus lately... It's gone zrough some interesting mutations which I've been researching quite carefully." He informed her before adding, "Tara should not have to worry about withholding the Virus, und' fact I would in encourage her to spread it, zough it is her decision." Wily stated in an almost affectionate tone. The mostly cyborg did care deeply for all his creations. They were family to him and he felt they deserved the same rights as any human, the same abilities, respects and choices.
Shockwave's red optic rested upon the brightly colored bird-former. "I can not say with 100% certain if I was involved in your creation, however I have had some involvement with creating a Sunstorm after my arrive in this universe." The logical and unemotional response from the one optic'ed mech likely was not helpful. Shockwave looked to Discord then as she spoke. "A Logical choice, My liege, but during my time here I have found may of ruling class of this world to be highly illogical as well as unreasonable. In fact they seemed to be actively trying to erase traces of Cybertronian interaction with this world while trying to capture and dissect our kind to reverse engineer in secret." Shockwave stated bluntly, hinting that he knew who Discord was and held some loyalty towards her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wolfang here! Jess is a bit... busy at the moment, That you Tara?" The wolf-reploid asked over the comm as there was a lot of static, still Tara seemed to be close enough within the barrier to that blocked communications to get through.

"But everyone who isnt a wily bot tends to go completely batjive when infected wily!" Jess responds, remembering how many friends she has had to put down over the years. "Hell, even the mutations... the nightmare and zero viruses cause megalamania. If thats all they do doesnt that mean we're all sociopaths?" She started to rub her head... she wished wolfang was down with them. Or even her kids... during one of the darker campaigns of earth, when they needed defenders, jess and her compatriots had been forced to rebuild several who had gone "maverick", albeit in smaller forms. Hell at this point enza would even be comforting. Sunstorm nodded slowly to the responses as he sat down. "Discord, I erm... it may have been our own people's doing. There had been a pretender of sorts... one who so closely mimiced you that no one questioned his authenticity. If my memories of that era is correct...he... he unleashed corrupted Supreme models on one of their cities. I can see why they would want to forget that time."
