Turn 6: Michigan, the Fuck This Shit State
Try to make friendly chat with the others. Not much else I can do right now while waiting to arrive at the destination.
Upon arrival at the destination, jump out and transform into copter mode while the plane is still in the air, unless Barricade orders me not to.
You attempt to learn a bit more about your companions, but as it turns out most of them don't have anything to say. They're all new to this planet, as you are. However, you have worked together in the past as a special operations unit; when Megatron sent for you, he specifically mentioned that you were all to come, or none of you.
After some time you ask Barricade if you can go ahead and scout when you reach the area, but he declines, saying that the place is already scouted out, and you would only attract attention.
Mention Jetfire in Lodestarr's presence.
You try to shout out the name, just to see what will happen. As it turns out, though, Thundercrash is fast enough to stop you from accomplishing that. You dejectedly sit and wait until the end of the flight.
Wait patiently, and think about the mission up ahead. Also, clamp my hand over Band Kannon's mouth before he can mention Jetfire. Pissing off the older, more powerful, and all around meaner Decepticon here is not a good idea...unless you have a death wish.
You spend some time processing the information you've received. Ratchet is an old Transformer, nearly as old as Optimus and Megatron themselves. He's a bit worse for wear from the many years, though, and you know that if you work together he doesn't stand a chance against you. However, if the numbers are more even you can't say for certain which way the fight will go.
[4] You realize with a shock that Band Kannon is actually stupid enough to go against Megatron's warning. He gets half of the name out, but you stifle him just in time. All around you you hear a strange rumbling, as if Lodestarr were trembling, likely from subconscious anger. After some time, though, he settles down until you reach your destination.
repair anyone who is still damaged.
[6] You end up in a race with IronyOwl to repair Alexander Omega, but manage to shove him out of the way long enough to get to work. [4+1] You end up succeeding, with Omega's wounds disappearing in a few moments. (+1 to Repair)
Race Shadow to be the first to experiment on repair Alexander Omega.
Ask Barricade about the cube.
[5] You try your best, but just lose out to Shadow in the race to repair your teammate. You sit back down and ask Barricade about what the cube was all about. After a nearly inaudible sigh, he begins.
"The cube is refined energon. Energon, in case you're as young a protoform as your team here, is our source of energy. We thrive on it. However, the Autobots have a practical monopoly on the stuff, and they've taken it a step further. They managed to refine it into a weaponized form. In this state, energon goes beyond being a simple source of energy. Consuming it increases your power by a significant margin. Megatron likely devoured the bit we gave him to get a bit stronger. That's why he's sent us to the factory. Our goal is to drive out the Autobots and, more importantly, discover the secret to refining energon. With that, we'll be nearly unstoppable."
If either of my repairees mess up FALCOWN PAWNCH them out of the plane.
Luckily the repairs go smoothly, and nobody needs to get punched. However, you do notice shortly after your repairs are finished that you have arrived in Michigan. The plane lands in a field a mile or two from a large factory, which you assume is your target. Barricade leaves the plane, once landed, and you all follow him.
Decepticon Actions:
Explain the plan
He lines you all up in single file, and begins to explain the finer details of his carefully-planned assault.
He first points at the two chopper-Decepticons. "Codespark, Hacksaw, I want you two up on the roof. I saw a pair of Autobots guarding it, and the rest of us can't afford to be spotted by them. You'll be a suitable distraction."
He then moves down the line to Shadow and Alexander Omega. "You two are fast. And as a result, rather stealthy. There is a secondary entrance that is well-monitored, but only has an APC and a few organics guarding it. Your duty is to get past them, and enter the facility from there. Once inside, you must make your way to the control room and send the facility into lockdown, hopefully sealing all exits. If we're lucky, Ratchet will still be in the building, trapped with us."
He then comes to Thundercrash and Band Kannon. "You two, the heavy hitters. You'll be with me, hitting the front gate. We can take on whoever they send at us, and we'll also keep the cameras focused on us as opposed to the stealth team. We'll need to be quick and get inside before the lockdown is initiated, though."
He turns to face the massive jet behind you. "Lodestarr, you're our backup. If things go to hell, I'm depending on you to be the cavalry." There is a small groan from the ship in response. Nodding approvingly, Barricade faces the facility. "You all have your orders, now move out!" he says, and takes off towards the building.
