Well

Thundercracker2:04:50 AM): ::I copy, Sunstorm... Currently in Prime's office tidying up. Man's this great leader, but his office looks like they've been.... ..Y'know what, I don't wanna know what they've done to the desk::
Thundercracker(2:05:05 AM): ::I'm just gonna pick up that Data-pad and just forget I was ever in here::
Sunstorm (2:06:20 AM): ::*laughs over the comm* Hey, I don't think I want to know, either. I feel sorry for you and your optics...:: *flying low, skimming across the desert, closing in on the source of the signal.*
Thundercracker(2:07:22 AM): ::Gee, thanks- you're a pinnacle of wonderment..Sunstorm::
Thundercracker(2:07:28 AM): ::What's the signal looking like?::
Mysterious Signal (2:08:15 AM): *Hard to tell what it really is, other then it's well, signaling - it's impossible to tell if it's even Cybertronian or human*
Sunstorm (2:09:06 AM): ::Heheh, Thanks, TC. The signal? Not sure yet. Can't get a clear lock on it except for it's location. I am closing in on it now. ETA, 2 minutes.:: *sped up a bit*
Blaster(2:09:56 AM): ::Right... Alert me when you figure out what it is. I'm on standby.::
Sunstorm (2:11:43 AM): ::Noted. I will contact you when I do. Sunstorm out.::
Sunstorm (2:12:14 AM): * He sped up a bit, honing in on the signal. He finally reached the vicinity of it and landed, transforming as he did. He walked a ways, scanning and locating the exact location...*
Blaster(2:14:25 AM): [[almost done with the third page, two more after this @_@]
Mysterious Signal (2:14:29 AM): *It's in the desert; not much to be seen aside from flatlands on any side. There's hills and there is flora - mostly dry shrubs, but the point is that there really isn't much out here that's visible in terms of life*
Mysterious Signal (2:14:42 AM): *But there is some sort of depression that is definately not natural up ahead; not unlike a crater from a Cybertronian landing. Signal originates from there*
Sunstorm (2:16:41 AM): *he walked up to it, curious about the depression* ::TC, there is some sort of depression here in the ground. The signal is originating from here. I'm going to investigate.::

Mysterious Signal (2:21:08 AM): *bleep. bleep. certainly deep enough to be a Cybertronian landing, but there's really no sign of them - in it, or them leaving it. There is quite a bunch of disturbed ground at the bottom - like something's buried under it*
Sunstorm (2:22:15 AM): *he moved closer to the depression, scanning around and around, curious about the disturbed ground. He reconfigured his scanners and probed deeper, searching for the origin of it. He was almost on top of it now...*
Blaster(2:27:17 AM): -Signal Cycling-
Blaster(2:27:30 AM): -Distress::command::execute::Distress-
Mysterious Signal (2:35:24 AM): *And once he gets just that close to it? Abruptly, there is EXPLOSION as the signal beacon buried underneath the soil self-destructs*
Mysterious Signal (2:35:26 AM): * EMP-type explosion, even - yes, it will hurt. It will also probably stun him for a minute or two if Swindle made it right*
Sunstorm (2:37:32 AM): *he had no idea what it was, but he picked up a sudden increase in power in it.* ::TC, I-*Kssssszzzzstttt........* *nothing but static filled the air after that.....*
Justice(2:39:42 AM): *There is an odd ring of light- strangely bluish and cold that spins around the falling form of the golden seeker and envelops it. The flyer disappears as surely as if he'd never been there in the first place and the portal convulses on itself and it spits back out something, a little insecticon- about the size of a ladybug*
Justice(2:39:42 AM): *and the little thing begins to whirr towards the autobot-base, following Sunstorm's contrails backwards*
Justice(2:41:22 AM): *and indeed...Swindle will see his bank account, and it will have been credited the with the amount aggreed up on by the discussion*
Mysterious Signal (2:41:32 AM): *And the Swindle was pleased*
Mysterious Signal (2:41:49 AM): *And may or may not be investing it in stocks*
Justice(2:48:23 AM): *and what Sunstorm will see- upon awakening- is not a sky, nor is it a cell*
Justice(2:48:39 AM): *Instead he's in side a rather dark compartment... his golden glow is the only thing giving off light*
Justice(2:48:59 AM): *and around him is pitch-black. It appears to stretch forever in endless night*
Sunstorm (2:49:52 AM): *grumbles, stirring groggily. The blast had a harsh effect on him. At first, his vision was pixilating...but slowly clearing to....blackness. Nothingness....worry crept up on him, clouding his spark.* W...what....?*he whispered..
Sunstorm (2:49:57 AM): softly...*
Justice(2:51:22 AM): ...*his voice echoes, but nothing comes forward*
Justice(2:51:25 AM): *nothing stirs*
Justice(2:51:36 AM): *...and the ground he lies up on is uneven, oddly shaped- and it shifts*
Sunstorm (2:52:40 AM): *he was startled when it started moving* What the....?? *he tried moving...*
Justice(2:52:42 AM): *Oddly shaped crevices and protrusions*
Justice(2:52:47 AM): *and...loose*
Justice(2:52:58 AM): *It shifts under his feet and his body- and he tumbles down a small hill...to land face down*

Justice(2:53:09 AM): *and face to face with a gun-metal grey faceplate...*
Justice(2:53:30 AM): *the entire floor is made up of old abandoned corpses, all the same shade of gunmetal grey*
Justice(2:53:42 AM): *Only the configurations and models are different*
Sunstorm (2:54:39 AM): *he moved a bit, then realized what he was staring at and moved back quickly as he could, still sluggish from the stun* Oh Primus...where...? Where am I!? *his voice was filled with shock and worry* *he staggered, standing*
Justice(2:55:37 AM): *The ground shifts again, and he falls backwards*
Justice(2:55:49 AM): *This time, into a depression that begins to sink downdowndowndown*
Justice(2:56:06 AM): *the various bits and peices falling on him like a morbid sort of rain..hands and feet and faces and fingers and components*
Sunstorm (2:57:31 AM): *he was swatting at the different components, knowing what they were. He was not liking this one bit, and he was getting angered and worried more and more, every second this continued...*
Justice(2:57:40 AM): *SLAM.*
Justice(2:57:49 AM): *impacting on a hard surface*
Justice(2:57:54 AM): *JERK- as it moves forward*
Justice(2:58:29 AM): *The light is growing- and he can see he's on a conveyer belt that is moving along more of the same. Piles upon piles of corpses, some of them having oddly shaped marks on their dead skins*
Justice(2:58:40 AM): *....tooth-marks, meaning something at one time- decided to have a snack*
Justice(2:58:59 AM): *which is further impressed by the half eatten face of a sparkling corpses that slides off the conveyer belt and into the morass below*
Sunstorm (2:59:16 AM): *he was dazed by the sudden impact, and he moved a bit, lifting his head a bit, shaking it* Uhh....*he wasn't seeing everything just yet, his vision pixelating again*
Sunstorm (2:59:48 AM): *it cleared a bit, and he was horrified at the sight. He sat up, looking around more....and grew more horrifed by the second.....*
Sunstorm (2:59:59 AM): Holy....Primus......
Justice(3:00:07 AM): We are pleased. You have come. Deal made. Deal Kept.
Justice(3:00:23 AM): Promised. Promise. Bargain struck.
Justice(3:00:36 AM): *disjointed whispers through processors- the faintest ghosts of memory*
Justice(3:00:50 AM): Sunstorm. Hollow soul. Lost and Found. Found and Lost. Returned.
Sunstorm (3:00:55 AM): *he looked around* What? Who is that!?
Justice(3:01:07 AM): Friend. Father. Lost. Creator. Source.
Sunstorm (3:01:26 AM): *he twisted and turned, trying to find the source of the voices* What do you mean by that!? Quit talking like that!
Justice(3:01:59 AM): Source. Power. Core. Spark. Matrix. Bondmate.
Justice(3:02:09 AM): Forward. Forward. Answers. Forward. Forward.
Justice(3:02:23 AM): *a doorway hissing open in a wall that wasn't there before*
Justice(3:02:41 AM): *rectangle of golden light- matching Sunstorm's own*
Sunstorm (3:03:15 AM): *at the word Bondmate, he had a sickening feeling in his spark, and he instantly thought of Blaster. He looked at the doorway, worried, and scared now. He didn't know what was going on.* What, you want me to go through there?!
Justice(3:03:39 AM): Forward. Forward. Waiting. Bondmate. Forward.
Justice(3:04:12 AM): *and..indeed...almost crying over his internal comm- is Justice's voice* S-sun-where..I-can'...my..music...SUNSTORM?!
Sunstorm (3:06:32 AM): *he shivered at the words, his own voice crying out, trying to reach him* ::Blaster!? BLASTER!?!? Where are you?!? I don't know what is going on!!!! BLASTER!!:: *he was shaking, trying so hard to make contact...and wasn't even ..
Sunstorm (3:06:37 AM): sure if he was getting through...*
Justice(3:07:45 AM): *the words degrade into incoherent words, punctuated by the odd sound- sometimes a hiccup, sometimes the broken whimpering of a mech on the edge...*
Justice(3:08:02 AM): *and once the scream of one whose very spark was being extracted from their chamber*
Justice(3:08:17 AM): *odd that such a scream can be melodic- even at a time like this*
Justice(3:09:43 AM): *and..finally*
Justice(3:09:47 AM): ::comm silence::
Justice(3:10:01 AM): *abrupt- and sharp- so that even the silence makes a sound*
Sunstorm (3:10:44 AM): .....*shock. Total and complete shock* :: BLASTER!>??!?!??!??!??!?:: *He screamed out loud and over the comm, feeling as if he had just gone dead himself.....* ...::no.......:: *whispered, faint...but dead....*
Justice(3:11:11 AM): *and still...the doorway remains open*
Blaster(3:11:23 AM): *the shifting corpses sliding to the side to reveal a path to that door*
Sunstorm (3:12:43 AM): *he was shaking, not even seeing the door right now...all that would play in his head was visions of Blaster...he was breaking apart inside...*
Justice(3:13:34 AM): *So distraught that Sunstorm is- he might not notice the tendrils draping down gently from the ceiling to usher him onto that path*
Justice(3:13:51 AM): *slowly, ever so slowly intergrating into his systems- thin filaments of wires*
Justice(3:14:05 AM): *...and with all the grace of a mother's touch- overriding his motor control*
Sunstorm (3:14:20 AM): *and he doesn't notice it...he's lost in his own mind....feeling completely gone....*
Sunstorm (3:15:46 AM): ::.......why.......?.......::
Justice(3:15:53 AM): *and...crumpled in the middle of that room is a bright red form- curled on its side like a scared child*
Justice(3:17:10 AM): *and the autobot sigil gives away who it is, that and the fading gold lines along the other's tapedeck and hands*
Justice(3:17:22 AM): Sun-storm...
Sunstorm (3:18:16 AM): *he looked up, seeing the figure, and jumped up, attempting to run to him* BLASTER!? *his voice carried through the room, filled with worry, an intense amount of it....*
Justice(3:18:47 AM): *His hand finds Sunstorm's and pulls down the golden mech beside him*
Justice(3:18:54 AM): *his face turned to the ground, and his hand shaking*
Justice(3:20:12 AM): *The red figure forces itself onto both feet- head bowed- bits of armor missing here and there*
Justice(3:20:37 AM): Sunstorm.
Sunstorm (3:20:47 AM): *he grasped at him* Blaster...what...what is going on!? Who did this to you!? Oh, Primus, Love...don't leave me....*he was shaking*
Sunstorm (3:21:02 AM): *he was scared to death*
Justice(3:21:15 AM): *The filaments in his body are now heading towards his fusion core- threading through his components like a spiderweb*
Justice(3:21:26 AM): *crisscrossing here, overriding manual overrides*
Justice(3:21:32 AM): *deleting old commands, setting up new*
Justice(3:21:39 AM): *all without Sunstorm's notice*
Sunstorm (3:21:47 AM): *he doesn't notice, he is only worried about Blaster...the one constant in his life right now....*
Justice(3:21:55 AM): *And..that constant...begins to crumble*
Justice(3:22:23 AM): *literally- turning to grey ash in the other's hands- lifting his head once to look at Sunstorm, with the gold mech finding his blue optics gone*
Justice(3:22:28 AM): *with nothing to replace*
Justice(3:22:36 AM): *as grey ash falls into his gold hands in dirty snow*
Sunstorm (3:22:47 AM): *he had wrapped his arms around him, trying to keep ahold of him...but now....ash...falling down...and he SCREAMED*
Justice(3:22:55 AM): *And those filaments tighten*
Justice(3:22:56 AM): *YANK*
Justice(3:23:10 AM): *As Now Sunstorm is spread-eagle in midair- held up by a giant spiderweb of filament*
Justice(3:23:22 AM): *the illusion program that had been running finishes its execution*
Justice(3:23:36 AM): *And now he can see where he truely is- in a circular chamber with a single figure with five faces*
Justice(3:23:52 AM): *long, green mechanical tentacle-arms sliding from an egg-shaped base*
Justice(3:24:05 AM): *..and as the shadows lengthen- other, different mechs step out*
Sunstorm (3:24:13 AM): *pain shot through him as he was yanked upwards, and he screamed out, not noticing them at first.*
Justice(3:24:27 AM): ...Execute Override...
Justice(3:24:39 AM): Of course, Justice.
Sunstorm (3:24:46 AM): *after a moment, his vision cleared again....* Wh....what? What is going on here!?
Justice(3:25:04 AM): *and a dataport plugs into the first console..and the first of Sunstorm's mental walls begin to crumble*
Justice(3:25:14 AM): *as the advanced programming is installed onto his Harddrive*
Justice(3:25:27 AM): Rebirth.exe is installed, Justice.
Justice(3:25:38 AM): *green optics look down at Sunstorm dispassionately*
Justice(3:25:50 AM): Wayward Son. Lonely. Lost. Home now.
Justice(3:25:52 AM): Ours.
Justice(3:26:03 AM): / Command::
Sunstorm (3:26:09 AM): *he was angry, pissed....and could feel the overrides taking place.* no......
Justice(3:26:12 AM): ::Execute Rebirth.exe::
Justice(3:27:49 AM): *And...the program begins to slide into his nerual net and processors- taking memories and programming with it*
Justice(3:28:06 AM): *It will proceed to strip away as much as it can of Sunstorm's old life- and replace it with something more.... mallable.*
Justice(3:28:24 AM): *He will be a phoenix in flames- but one with a collar around its slim neck*
Justice(3:28:36 AM): / Command:: Reboot /
Sunstorm (3:28:41 AM): *all at once, his systems shut down, the sound of processors whirring down being the only sound coming from him....*
Sunstorm (3:29:31 AM): *and after a few moments, his systems came back online, one by one......his optics being the last. A dark red, as opposed to the bright orange/yellow they had been before....*
Justice(3:30:11 AM): *and a soft coo* /Command::Reformat/
Justice(3:30:19 AM): -installing New Operating System-
Justice(3:30:31 AM): *the side benefit to this, is it will help stablize his fusion core*
Sunstorm (3:32:36 AM): *he said nothing as of yet, But he had no recollection of who he was before....*
Justice(3:33:14 AM): ...Sunstorm *soft coo* Sunstorm. Son. Sunstorm. Son..
Justice(3:33:19 AM): Arise.
Justice(3:33:34 AM): *those thin filaments retracting as gently as they'd intergrated themselves*
Sunstorm (3:35:09 AM): *he stood on his own power now, and a dark aura seemed to permeate the room with his mere presence now. His optics were slitted a bit, looking so much darker....someone different than who he had been before...ever....*
Justice(3:39:24 AM): *He- the bipedal, steps forward*
Justice(3:39:36 AM): *and touches the button on the side that allows the fusion core to hum softly with power*
Justice(3:39:43 AM): *and faces the new seeker*
Justice(3:40:06 AM): Sunstorm... You have returned home, wayward one. Wayward Son...Welcome......
Justice(3:40:16 AM): *five voices echo the welcome- each in varying emotions*
Justice(3:40:26 AM): *laughing, snarling, screaming, crying, soft*
Justice(3:40:33 AM): *a very discordant symphony*
Sunstorm (3:40:51 AM): *his optics turn towards him, watching him like a hawk*.....Who are you? *his voice was dark, distant...and thick...*
Justice(3:41:04 AM): Justice.
Justice(3:42:13 AM): There are five...
Sunstorm (3:42:19 AM): Jus.....tice....? Is that your designation? *his voice held an eerie sort of darkness*
Justice(3:42:36 AM): It is who I am....
Justice(3:42:47 AM): Judgement/Justice...
Justice(3:43:03 AM): Bitterness, Rage, War, and Death are my brothers...
Sunstorm (3:43:18 AM): *his optics slitted a it*.......accepted.
Justice(3:43:18 AM): You... our son of the stars, our phoenix in ashes...have returned home.
Sunstorm (3:43:31 AM): ....Home?
Justice(3:43:48 AM): Quintessa.
Justice(3:43:56 AM): You are not one of them.
Justice(3:44:04 AM): *gesturing down to the ashes piled up on the floor*
Justice(3:44:18 AM): A pile of useless material and matter that could not stand up to the full glory.
Justice(3:44:28 AM): You are of us.
Justice(3:44:37 AM): Destined for the stars, and perhaps beyond.
Sunstorm (3:44:40 AM): *he looked down, seeing the ashes, then looked back up* Why am I here?
Justice(3:44:58 AM): We lost you... *the word lost repeated by each face again...almost longingly*
Justice(3:45:02 AM): And we found you...
Justice(3:45:12 AM): You returned to us...willingly.
Sunstorm (3:45:27 AM): I do not remember.
Justice(3:45:32 AM): Of course not.
Justice(3:45:50 AM): The damage to your cranial and core circuitry was....unforgiveable.
Justice(3:46:02 AM): Certain datafiles were corrupted.
Sunstorm (3:46:17 AM): Are they repaired?
Justice(3:46:25 AM): Yes.
Justice(3:46:35 AM): Search your archives.
Justice(3:46:44 AM): *and they will be full of implanted memories*
Justice(3:46:53 AM): *false, of course- but Sunstorm won't know this*
Sunstorm (3:46:54 AM): *he did so, scanning, finding these memories*
Sunstorm (3:47:01 AM): .............................
Sunstorm (3:47:05 AM): Very well.
Justice(3:47:07 AM): *of being raised by the Quintessasion's...being persecuted by both Autobots and Decepticons*
Justice(3:47:22 AM): *and a third party that just watches, silent- neither lifting a finger nor hurting*
Justice(3:47:34 AM): *and..they do use those sector-seven memories against him*
Justice(3:47:44 AM): *but implanting the others, where the humans had been*
Sunstorm (3:51:35 AM): *he finished scanning, his voice rumbling in the back of his vocal processors...*
Justice(3:52:51 AM): *and awaits patiently, reguarding him with serene green optics*
Sunstorm (3:54:39 AM): *he stared at the other with dark red optics, waiting.....*
Justice(3:54:47 AM): Sunstorm...
Justice(3:54:52 AM): *light fingertips on gold cheek*
Justice(3:54:55 AM): Welcome home.
Sunstorm (3:55:39 AM): *he rumbled softly, but darkly* Thank you.....Father.
Justice(3:58:36 AM): *The expression changes a bit to satisifed, and then to almost affectionate*
Justice(3:58:43 AM): Very good... Now.
Justice(3:58:49 AM): We have a slight problem.
Justice(3:58:55 AM): The ones that took you away from us are hunting us as well.
Justice(3:58:59 AM): *tone almost sorrowful*
Sunstorm (4:00:42 AM): Do you wish me to go after them? I will not have them harm my family. *dark, low growling can be heard from him*
Justice(4:01:56 AM): Sunstorm. Sunstorm. *touching his cheek again* I will not force you to do -anything-.
Justice(4:02:13 AM): But if that is your wish- we can offer you an upgrade....better than what we found you with...after they had stripped you bare.
Sunstorm (4:02:38 AM): *he debated that* An....upgrade...? What kind?
Justice(4:02:51 AM): We worked out that kink in your fusion core.
Justice(4:02:57 AM): But...better armor, some better weapondry.
Justice(4:02:59 AM): New paint.
Sunstorm (4:03:13 AM): Explain.
Sunstorm (4:03:26 AM): *he was interested*
Justice(4:09:51 AM): *and begins to go into detail on the paint jobs and the weapons*
Sunstorm (4:10:18 AM): *he listened, and nodded only slightly* I accept your upgrades.
Justice(4:11:07 AM): *He smiles at that and places a hand on his shoulder- leading him towards the med-room where they do the upgrades*
Justice(4:13:33 AM): *it will take a few cycles...as they have to give him a complete overhaul*
Sunstorm (4:13:54 AM): *he followed silently, but somewhere deep inside.....he was grinning darkly at the thought of the upgrades*
Justice(4:14:05 AM): *His engines are upgraded to anything far beyond current Cybertronian science, and his paint job goes dramatically darker*
Justice(4:14:22 AM): *The wings have black and gold stripes*
Justice(4:14:50 AM): *and his fingertips have an added feature- the tips of his fingers open up to reveal what basically amounts to grappling talons*
Justice(4:14:56 AM): *enabling him to hold on and/or rend metal*
Justice(4:16:18 AM): *His dental plates now have those curving fangs that lock and rend metal as well*
Justice(4:16:54 AM): *The paintjob, while it changes- has an added bonus*
Justice(4:17:06 AM): *The paint itself shifts- from the old coloration- to the new*
Justice(4:17:09 AM): *like a chamelon.*
Justice(4:17:29 AM): *which will enable Sunstorm to sneak in and out of Autobot Base wihtout being dectected too much*
Justice(4:17:42 AM): *after all, a paint job that obvious might bring about questions*
Justice(4:18:23 AM): *His weapons stay the same, at least in configuration- but heighten in strength*
Justice(4:18:29 AM): *...all in all, six cycles go by*
Justice(4:18:39 AM): *and he is modified from the in to the out*
Justice(4:18:44 AM): *and is finally brought back online*
Justice(4:19:07 AM): *and..behind closed doors- Sunstorm has been scanned..from the inside out*
Justice(4:19:24 AM): *....and there is a factory- beginning to formulate exact clones of him*
Justice(4:19:32 AM): *experiments to play with while the Son is away*
Justice(4:20:03 AM): *Sparked bodies- replicas....*
Justice(4:20:16 AM): *beings that will know no life outside of the laboratory*
Sunstorm (4:20:19 AM): *he groaned as he was brought back online....*
Justice(4:20:26 AM): *But Sunstorm will know nothing of this*
Justice(4:20:30 AM): *and a hand is offered to him*
Justice(4:20:33 AM): Take it, my son...
Justice(4:20:36 AM): Its time for you to go back.
Justice(4:20:42 AM): You are our pride.
Justice(4:20:51 AM): And our Hope.
Sunstorm (4:20:52 AM): *he reached out, and noticed the black of his hand, and stared...*
Justice(4:21:02 AM): *and gestures to a reflective surface*
Justice(4:21:04 AM): What do you think?
Justice(4:21:06 AM): Look at yourself.
Sunstorm (4:21:55 AM): *he stood slowly, then walked over to it, seeing himself in the surface for the first time. After a moment, a dark grin spread across his face.*......I like it.
Justice(4:22:05 AM): We thought you might, my son.
Justice(4:22:31 AM): *The soft blue ring once again forms to the right of Sunstorm- showing the blasted crater that he'd disappeared from*
Justice(4:22:46 AM): *the surface shimmering like water as magnetic pulses ripple past it*
Sunstorm (4:24:28 AM): *he found the ability to change the color of the paint, and grinned even more, testing it.* Is there anything I need to know before going back? Who do I watch out for? *he was grinning to himself, switching the paint back and ..
Sunstorm (4:24:34 AM): forth*
Justice(4:26:09 AM): Only that you must not be caught in your mission.
Justice4:26:12 AM): It would bode ill for us all.
Justice(4:26:22 AM): We risked much to get find you.
Justice(4:26:28 AM): We would risk it again if need be.
Thundercracker(4:27:09 AM): *and meanwhile..on two different comes*
Thundercracker(4:27:34 AM): ::Sunstorm?! This is Thundercracker, can you come in..Please. Sunstorm...this is Thundercracker.. REPORT. You're past you're half hour mark!::
Blaster(4:27:45 AM): ::Baby, where are you?::
Blaster(4:28:09 AM): ::You said you'd report in half an hour... Its been an almost an hour and a half::
Justice(4:28:31 AM): Good Hunting, Sunstorm.
Justice(4:28:33 AM): It is time to go.
Sunstorm (4:30:09 AM): *he nodded, and slipped through the portal, his paint changing as he did, and answering as he slipped through, scanning, searching for the best way to answer....* ...
Sunstorm (4:30:22 AM): ::Thundercracker? I am alright. I ran into an old trap. Nothing more.::
Justice (4:30:26 AM): *He watches the portal close- and inclines his head*
Justice(4:30:29 AM): *smirking*
Justice(4:30:43 AM): ::Status:: 57% complete.::
Justice(4:30:57 AM): ::Restructure::100% Complete::
Justice(4:31:16 AM): Unit: Sunstorm. Status::Servitude.
Justice(4:31:29 AM): Success::Inevitable.
Justice4:31:51 AM): *and eases back into the shadows with his bretheren to awaite the second stage of their plan*
Sunstorm (4:31:52 AM): *he scanned the other signal, identifying it as the Autobot Blaster* ::Blaster...I am fine. I was merely deterreed for a bit. I apologize. Forgive me?::
Blaster(4:31:59 AM): *and sighs with relief*
Blaster(4:32:17 AM): ::Of course, baby. I'm waiting on you in our quarters. I finally got the wall rerpaired on the south side.::
Blaster(4:32:27 AM): ::you okay? You seem a bit shaky::
Thundercracker(4:32:38 AM): ::Glad to have you back. I was about to round out a search party::
Thundercracker(4:32:46 AM): ::Report to me when you get the chance::
Sunstorm (4:34:14 AM): *he ran more scans, identifying the use of the terms with Blaster, and identified him as a mate. He shivered at the thought, but answered* ::Yes, I am alright. I will be home soon.:: ::Thundercracker, I will report as soon as...
Sunstorm (4:34:17 AM): I return. ::
Thundercracker(4:35:00 AM): ::Of course, Sunstorm- and welcome home... I know the flight couldn't have been -THAT- interesting::
Sunstorm (4:36:41 AM): ::You wish:: *he added a small chuckle for good measure, and then transformed, heading out back to the base*
Thundercracker(4:37:05 AM): *He shakes his head as he eases out of the office to go meet Sunstorm*
Thundercracker (4:37:11 AM): *nodding to Blaster as he passes*
Blaster(4:37:30 AM): *He nods to Thundercracker- humming to himself as he heads to the recharge berth to flop out and anticipate his mate*
Blaster(4:37:39 AM): *humming "Chasing Cars"*
Blaster(4:40:19 AM): *He'd spent some time with Steeljaw earlier- but he doesn't think the cassette quite trusts him anymore...at least Sunstorm is his haven*
Blaster(4:40:49 AM): I need your grace...to remind me. To find my own.. *humming* If I lay here. If I just lay here. Would you lie with me... And just forget the world.
Sunstorm (4:41:03 AM): *it took him a few minutes to get there, but he did, and transformed midair, using his thrusters to keep him aflight, and then slowly landed. There was a slight bit of a more fluid motion to his transformation now....*
Blaster(4:41:07 AM): Forget what we're told... before we get too old...Show me a garden, that's bursting into life.
Blaster(4:45:58 AM): >>
Blaster(4:46:04 AM): *just smiling to himself*
Sunstorm (4:47:07 AM): *he runs a scan for Thundercracker, locating him and walking towards the base's entrance to go to him*
Thundercracker(4:47:34 AM): *He glances as hears the other mech settle*
Thundercracker(4:47:36 AM): Hey!
Thundercracker(4:47:45 AM): *turning to face him with curious crimson optic*
Thundercracker(4:47:53 AM): Thought you woulda run straight to Blaster.
Thundercracker(4:47:57 AM): *grinning*
Sunstorm (4:49:33 AM): *he turned, seeing him, his cover holding, his optics even having changed back to the yellow/orange color. He managed a returning grin* Well, you asked me to report to you. Right?
Thundercracker(4:50:00 AM): *and snorts* Yeah,and when did that ever stop you from going straight to bed first. *light tease to voice*
Thundercracker(4:50:18 AM): What sort of trap was it..and is it something we need to worry about?
Sunstorm (4:51:33 AM): *he shook his head* No. I think it was an old trap. Unfortunately, I activated it. It was an old EMP. I am fine, I ran self diagnostics.
Thundercracker(4:53:14 AM): hn.
Thundercracker (4:53:20 AM): Make sure you get yourself checked out anyway.
Thundercracker (4:53:27 AM): *and glances out towards the horizon*
Thundercracker(4:53:38 AM): Get lost, Sunstorm *lips quirking* Y'need to rest...*wink of optic*
Thundercracker(4:53:44 AM): An' I gotta do a few things.
Thundercracker(4:53:50 AM): Dismissed.
Thundercracker(4:53:58 AM): *amused as he waves two fingers in a light wave*
Sunstorm (4:56:35 AM): *He nodded and walked into the base, searching out the room that Blaster was in.......*
Blaster(4:57:37 AM): *and the door opens up for him as soon as he reaches it- acknowledging his presence*
Blaster(4:57:43 AM): *And he's there, actually in a slight doze&
Blaster(4:57:55 AM): *sitting up- leaning against the wall with dim optics*
Sunstorm (4:58:57 AM): *he paused for a moment, watching him, not feeling a thing, but knowing that for some reason...this mech was a mate to him. This would have dire concequences if not taken care of immediately.....* ....Blaster...?
Blaster(4:59:32 AM): *His optics flare online at that, and a wide grin stretches his lips*
Blaster(4:59:45 AM): I was wonderin' when y'd get in, Sun of my Life. *amused*
Blaster(4:59:53 AM): Sittin' there, worryin'boutch.
Blaster(5:00:00 AM): And you come in here stridin' like you own the place.
Blaster(5:00:07 AM): *affectionate smile*
Blaster(5:00:08 AM): Missed ya.
Sunstorm (5:01:07 AM): *he managed a grin, and walked over to him, activating a small program that he wrote for dealing with this while flying back. He leaned in and kissed him...possesively...*
Blaster(5:03:34 AM): *and ...blinkblinkblink*
Blaster(5:03:37 AM): *well...*
Blaster(5:03:40 AM): *damn*
Blaster(5:03:45 AM): *not that he's going waste this*
Blaster(5:03:55 AM): *and rumbles at that, returning the kiss in equal measure*
Sunstorm (5:05:06 AM): *he leaned in further, his hands finding his wrists, and pinning them down, but taking careful measure to not harm him...yet. He deepened the kiss, controlling the situation...*
Blaster(5:06:01 AM): *He blinks at that, further*
Blaster(5:06:10 AM): *a little hesitant in the kiss now- if only out of surprise*
Blaster(5:06:21 AM): Hey, baby.. you sure about this...
Blaster(5:06:26 AM): You..um..had a problem with it last time..
Blaster(5:06:28 AM): *softly*
Sunstorm (5:07:43 AM): *he pulled back for a moment, watching him, then brought his hand up and ran a finger down his cheek gently.* I am fine. I just...realized that...I need to get over it sometime...and that blast made me realize that...
Sunstorm (5:08:02 AM): If you don't want to......
Blaster(5:08:06 AM): *He sighs softly at that* No...no.
Blaster(5:08:07 AM): Its okay.
Blaster(5:08:15 AM): I just didn't want to make -you- uncomfortable.
Blaster(5:08:23 AM): *leaning up to intitate the kiss this time*
Blaster(5:08:28 AM): *one of his usual slow, hungry ones*
Blaster(5:08:39 AM): *that would make his Sunstorm squirm*
Sunstorm (5:09:22 AM): *he leaned down, pressing against him, pinning his wrists again, pressing into that kiss, deepening it further....*
Blaster(5:11:05 AM): *His fingertips curl into palms and he responds to it as best as he is able*
Blaster(5:11:15 AM): *tilting his face up*

Blaster(1:47:44 PM): What's got...you in..such a mood?
Sunstorm (1:48:54 PM): *he growled softly, but teasingly* I missed you...*it was the only thing he could think of to say, to cover.*
Sunstorm (1:49:22 PM): *he continued nipping and teasing, his hand dipping further along the cassette deck walls...*
Blaster(1:49:27 PM): I missed you too...
Blaster(1:49:36 PM): *and chuckles softly, sliding a free hand to cup his cheek*
Blaster(1:49:44 PM): *leaning forward just a bit to brush lips over his cheek*
Blaster(1:49:51 PM): *and beginning to sing into his audials*
Blaster(1:50:44 PM): We'll do it all. Everything....On our Own.
Blaster(1:50:52 PM): We don't need. Anything.
Blaster(1:50:54 PM): Or anyone.
Sunstorm (1:51:03 PM): ((even worse...he doesn't know THEIR song...))
Blaster(1:51:04 PM): *brushing his cheek against his*
Blaster(1:51:24 PM): If I lay here...
Blaster(1:51:27 PM): If I just lay here....
Blaster(1:51:36 PM): Would you lie with me.... and just forget the world.
Sunstorm (1:53:12 PM): *he had no idea that that particular song, was a special one. He didn't think to scan for it, for the lyrics online, nor did he think to download it. He grinned.* Hmmm....*he was still nuzzled into Blaster's neck, his mouth still nipping gently* I think I like that song....
Blaster(1:53:32 PM): *He tilts his head*
Blaster(1:53:41 PM): Of course you do.. you sing it with me all the time.
Blaster(1:53:47 PM): *and frowns a bit, beginning to pull back*
Blaster(1:53:51 PM): Sunstorm, you sure you're okay?
Blaster(1:54:38 PM): *tilting his head up to look at him with concern*
Sunstorm (1:54:52 PM): I'm fine....perhaps the blast knocked me around a bit...*he shook his head....*
Blaster(1:55:28 PM): ...Pretty bad if it messed up THAT.
Blaster(1:55:33 PM): *sliding a hand to his cheek again*
Blaster(1:55:41 PM): *brushing thumb just under his optic*
Blaster(1:55:45 PM): Babe, did something happen?
Sunstorm (1:57:29 PM): *he began analyizing the situation. //>Target suspicious. 2 attepmts to thwart suspicion, if still suspicious, take out.<// He didn't let on anything, and just shook his head.* No.
Blaster(1:58:07 PM): Babe... You should know that song....you found it for me.
Blaster(1:58:16 PM): Maybe you should have TC check you out.
Blaster(1:58:23 PM): Maybe..hold on...
Blaster(1:58:44 PM): Those three words...
Blaster(1:58:49 PM): Are said too much....
Blaster(1:58:52 PM): They're not enough....
Blaster(1:59:00 PM): Familiar now?
Blaster(1:59:08 PM): *they should be- he snag them to him the first time they interfaced*
Blaster(1:59:48 PM): *the next line is the chorus*
Blaster(2:02:03 PM): *sang, not snag
Sunstorm (2:02:23 PM): *there was no way out of it, he did not know the song, and had no idea of the world's internet connection. //>Target not thwarted. Solution: Attack<// A primary system took over now.* No..its not. *voice FAR darker now, and his hands gripped down harder on Blaster's wrists, to the point of hurting. He gripped several wires near the spark casing. He was going to enjoy this...he grinned darkly, his mouth dangerously close to a main fuelline....*
Blaster(2:03:49 PM): ...Sunstorm?! *optics shuttering in response, blinking* Sunstorm.. Heyhey.. Loosen a little.
Blaster(2:04:02 PM): *optics widening a bit, even as his neck tilts a bit to the side*
Sunstorm (2:07:12 PM): *and he leaned in and bit that line, ripping at it, utilizing his new fangs that he and received. His talons sprang forth, and he gripped those wires hard and pulled, feeling the snapping as he did so. He could NOT allow any sort of suspicion to allow him to be discovered. His mouth moved to his vocal processor next, and he ripped into that, ripping and tearing it up. No remorse....only a dark grin....only a few of the spark wires remained...but he wasn't finished...*
Blaster(2:08:57 PM): *There is a brief moment of nothing- but only for a nanosecond as time hangs suspended- and his face is turned towards Sunstorm. Disbelief and confusion drifts across like leaves over whater before being replaced by pain and agony. He can't scream because his vocalizer is gone, but there is a garbled noise of static. Due to the wires being severed- his body shudders in a series of convulsions- hands tightening around Sunstorm- the hand on his face curling fingers inward...*
Blaster(2:09:00 PM): *still clutching*
Blaster(2:09:11 PM): *the other arm trying to push him away*
Blaster(2:09:21 PM): ::Sunstorm?!!::
Sunstorm (2:13:46 PM): *only a dark laughter played over the comm for a second* ::Heh, be glad you are being ripped apart at the hands of what WAS your mate, instead of someone else!:: *with that, he let the wires fall from his hand and made a swift motion across his face, his talons ripping and gashing at the duraskin, and offlining his optics.* ::The Phoenix arising from the Ashes...bringing your judgement down upon you....THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT!:: *he jumped up and pulled Blaster with, and swung him around, hard, and let him go, watching him fling into a wall....and hard. Anyone from the outside would have heard a thunk, but figured that Sunstorm was taking TC's advice...*
Blaster(2:16:29 PM): *His head jerks back at that, and the scream that should have been vocal is instead blasted out over the internal comm. His free hand goes to his face to try to stop the mech-fluid that begins to leak out of the torn duraskin.* ::Sunstorm, NO!!:: *He doesn't feel himself flying through the air, nor ripping free of Sunstorm- but he does feel the impact against the wall...sliding down into a heap* ::S-sunstorm.. Love...who..you...where is my mate?:: *Struggling to get up*
Blaster(2:17:01 PM): *There is an alarm here, he's also trying to reach it*
Sunstorm (2:19:07 PM): *he held his arm up, his Fusion cannon aiming squarely at him* ::Your mate is no more. I stand in his place now. Too bad you won't see him again. Accept your pusnishment gracefully, like the slag of metal you are.:: *with that he fired, but it was a low enough level to not alarm anyone, but high enough to knock Blaster around, if not offline....*
Blaster(2:20:15 PM): *He grits his dental platse, going skidding back*
Blaster(2:21:02 PM): *and finally slams against the opposite wall, blue auras of light arching over torn and damaged areas*
Blaster(2:21:53 PM): *He doesn't move this time, though he's still online- trying to keep his reserve fuel in*
Blaster(2:22:03 PM): *though there is little bits of mech fluid here and there*
Blaster(2:22:16 PM): *and works his jaw, turning up his radio- as best as he is able*
Blaster(2:22:49 PM): Let's...wa- ... time... Chasing Cars... Around -ur heads....
Blaster(2:23:00 PM): I need your grace...To remind me... to find my own.
Blaster(2:23:25 PM): If.. I lay here.
Blaster(2:23:30 PM): If I just.. lay here.
Sunstorm (2:23:30 PM): Hnnn....Still online? *aims* Not for long. *he fired again, aiming for his spark casing.....*
Blaster(2:23:46 PM): Would you lie with me... and just forget...the world.
Blaster(2:24:11 PM): Forget what we're tol-..*static*... before we get too ol-*static*... Show me a garden.....that's bursting..into *static*
Blaster(2:24:17 PM): ... All that I am......
Blaster(2:24:21 PM): All that I ever was...
Blaster(2:24:28 PM): Is here... *static* perfect eyes...
Blaster(2:24:37 PM): They're... all.. I can se-*static*
Sunstorm (2:25:09 PM): *he growled* You are immensly STUBBORN! *he fired one more time, this time upping the power just a bit....*
Blaster(2:25:48 PM): ::Sunsto-....UNIT::Blaster. Status::Offline::
Blaster(2:25:58 PM): ::comm silence::
Blaster(2:26:49 PM): [.. I feel horrific for them both oo.]
Sunstorm (2:27:35 PM): ......Good. *he walked up to him, and grabbed him, pulling him up and dragging him to one of the closet units inthe room, and set him in there., making sure that it closed satisfactorily. He grinned darkly, and then turned around, walking out, humming the tune that Blaster had been singing....*
