"OC Episode #4"

[starshadow]

Cecaelia blinked and followed Glowstick, "Wait uhh..you don't know? There was a rumor saying that parasatic creatures had been living in the darkest and creepiest places in Cybertron. Of course I know what they are." There was no harm in giving information of alien lifeforms that have been living in Cybertron for centuries.

So she spoke, "These parasites are actually like us. The difference is that they could have many types of beast modes or vehicle modes like the decepticons, better than a triple changer. Their mech fluild contains glowing venom that turns regular bots like us to vampires, sometimes it's slimy. "

[Night-Hunter]

((OOC: Saber isn't gonna come clean just yet. Nor is she going to make it easy for you. You have to wait until the next episode for that to happen. Hehe.))

Have a seat.

Rhionx's voice drew her attention away from the body. She sat down in the nearest chair, she knew she was trapped the moment he shut the door.

I've been going over your records lately from out of the CR chamber and tank.. including todays.. I've found some inconsistencies and some irregular results, but.. I've also noticed something.

Saber knew that she would have to choose her words carefully, as told herself several seconds before, she would tell them on her terms... this wasn't the time either.

"And what have you noticed about the scans?" She asked, truly curious at what the scans had said.

Saberfang, the chemicals recently injected in you had many similarities to chemicals you already had inside of you.. How long have you had this arrangement with Sonar?

She felt her spark race, but she kept her face passive and her emotions in check. Again she would have to choose her words carefully.

"I have made no arrangement with Sonar. Why would I?" She asked calmly.

[New Moon]

Feralnight watched Saber-Fang leave then Whitegrazer then looked back at Airazor. She seemed really surprised about Rattrap's question and wondered if she remembered anything of their home planet or had lost her memory. But she remained quiet and listened just in case,still curious of their new comrade.

"Glowstick gave it to you?" Frilla was a bit surprised and even more curious. What could the squid possibly have that'd she really need to look at? Now she couldn't help but agree with Rattrap that something might be up which was a bit scary in her opinion to be agreeing with the rat. Pushing her thoughts back she looked to Airazor as well.

[NaitoKage]

Glowstick thought for a moment as she mentioned the parasites more These Parasites.. they wouldn't happen to have.. purple mech fuild would they? he then turned looking towards her.

___________________

Rhinox shaked his head Well, if you want this conducted like a police investigation.. The chemicals found inside your body can't be found inside the Axalon and your body doesn't naturally produce them meaning that the levels of the chemicals should have lowered and left your system in time til none was left, but they've increased with each scan of the CR chamber. That tells me you have to be getting these chemicals from a source outside our group...

And yet just so happens Sonar not only can produce these chemicals, but injected you with a new type which has modified traces of Optimus Primal's CNA structure. Even if we put that off, there's the times Sonar has appeared or mentioned. Your attitude is usually so cool and collected, but the instant Sonar showed up.. you flinched. Considering your history together.. don't you find it a little strange that he would show up in his own space craft having some how tracked us down even though WE don't even know where we are, just to join Megatron's forces?

Now also..don't you happen to find it funny that you, someone with a rare condition, happens to go wander off for very long patrols, disappearing or sneaking off whenever you get a chance..

Maybe some of the others haven't put the pieces together yet, but from what I can tell.. Your condition is being treated by those chemicals, regular injections much like some diseases. So if we take that into consideration, and look at Sonar's background which we've read from the news archives on the Axalon, Sonar has a background as a scientist.. a scientist who in the last battle even warned his allies when you changed, knowing how you act in that state.

No matter how much you want to hide or twist it, the evidence is collecting in a heap. Saber, what are you hiding that would get you involved like this? You know the Maximals here will gladly try to help you with anything, so why do you keep this up?

[starshadow]

"They do have purple mech fluid which also had some kind of horrible smell and taste, sometimes luminous. That's all I know about their species..Starshadow-sama is the expert in this." Cecaelia scratched the back of her head.

[Night-Hunter]

Well, if you want this conducted like a police investigation.. The chemicals found inside your body can't be found inside the Axalon and your body doesn't naturally produce them meaning that the levels of the chemicals should have lowered and left your system in time til none was left, but they've increased with each scan of the CR chamber. That tells me you have to be getting these chemicals from a source outside our group...

"I could have eaten some thing that had those chemicals. The prey I hunt, like to eat the strangest plants on this planet." Saber said simply.

And yet just so happens Sonar not only can produce these chemicals, but injected you with a new type which has modified traces of Optimus Primal's CNA structure. Even if we put that off, there's the times Sonar has appeared or mentioned. Your attitude is usually so cool and collected, but the instant Sonar showed up.. you flinched. Considering your history together.. don't you find it a little strange that he would show up in his own space craft having some how tracked us down even though WE don't even know where we are, just to join Megatron's forces?

Saber narrowed her optics slightly at the mention Primal's CNA, why would Sonar use that, much less have it.? "From what I hear, Sonar has the deepest respect for Megatron. My guess... Megatron gave Sonar the Darksyde's energy signature befoe he left with the disc. And of course Sonar would follow his master, only he would be smart enough to be able to find and follow the same trail as that crazed dinosaur used. And for your information, Sonar scares the living spark out of me, and I'm a general... well I was. But that doesn't matter, I shouldn't be afraid of anything."

Now also..don't you happen to find it funny that you, someone with a rare condition, happens to go wander off for very long patrols, disappearing or sneaking off whenever you get a chance..

"I go on long patrols, so I can be thorough and make sure that the preds aren't up to some thing. And I also like to hunt. The reason I sneak off and disappear is so I can have a breather and have some time to myself. Or would you rather have me stay inside and all of the sudden have to deal with the creature? I know what this thing is capable off, Rhionx. I do not want to be responseable for the death of my teams mates because I was unable to stay calm due to cabin fever."

Maybe some of the others haven't put the pieces together yet, but from what I can tell.. Your condition is being treated by those chemicals, regular injections much like some diseases. So if we take that into consideration, and look at Sonar's background which we've read from the news archives on the Axalon, Sonar has a background as a scientist.. a scientist who in the last battle even warned his allies when you changed, knowing how you act in that state.

"It's pretty obvious how dangerous this blasted creature is, any one would have done that. Sonar is crazy, yes. But he seems to be loyal to his team mates and no, I'm not defending him."

No matter how much you want to hide or twist it, the evidence is collecting in a heap.

Don't you think I know that! She thought.

Saber, what are you hiding that would get you involved like this?

"I'm not hiding nor am I involved in anything." Saber replied.

All though she was calm, her spark was racing within its spark chamber.

You know the Maximals here will gladly try to help you with anything, so why do you keep this up?

I have no other choice, this is my burden to bare, not yours. She thought sadly

"I know that, Rhinox. But this creature... Primus, why did I even bother coming with you?" She sighed looking away from the medic/warrior.

You were scared at what would happen if they were to find out that you had the creature inside you. A small voice told her.

((Holy crap, that was fun to write. ^_^))

[Phoenix]

(ooc: I'm assuming you meant Nemesis. Phoenix is my username, not my character name)

Nemesis kept her arms folded across her chest, having watched the interaction between Starshadow and Manterror with a certain amusement. So far her day had been fairly fruitless, not having been able to bring back stolen equipment from the Maximal base nor recovered the crashed stasis pod Inferno had emerged from. At least she had made sure the Maximals paid in full for interfering, by blowing up part of their base, but alas Inferno's pod was no doubt beyond repair due to the insanity of its occupant along with any damage the pod had taken from the ongoing battle. Nemesis doubted the pod could withstand the strain of space travel after all of that.

As if by chance, the mantis then spoke to both of the females.

"Say... If either of you have any interest in a perfectly intact stasis pod... I happen to know the location of one which is quite well hidden. We may be able to strike up a deal."

What a peculiar coincidence, the avian female thought as Manterror's words caught her attention. She was fairly certain she had not revealed her plans to anyone, including the brand new Predacon recruit, so unless the mantis somehow possessed the power of reading minds, perhaps he did indeed have a bargaining chip in the form of the stasis pod he just mentioned and that he was opportunistic enough to be willing to part with it.. Nemesis upheld a certain suspicion, however, being weary of the insect's true motives behind such a suggestion.

Hearing the other female respond excitedly, Nemesis smiled slightly and tilted her head a bit.

"And what kind of deal did you have in mind?," she inquired, refraining from showing any emotions for this matter until she knew what the mantis was up to.

Meanwhile, at the Maximal base, the unexpected birth of a new Maximal had just occurred through the assistance of the now deactivated nanobots, Rhinox and the actions of Icebreaker. Although the spark had come to life, the still form remained unconscious for the time being. Yet the female appeared to be in stable condition, as if she was merely sleeping.

[WorpeX]

((uhh... oops! Yes, that is what I meant. XD))



"Hmm? A deal? What sort of deal?"
"And what kind of deal did you have in mind?,"

The two female Predicons both seemed eager to hear more about his proposed deal. How perfect. This may work out in his favor. If this all worked according to plan, the mantis might be able to get away from doing any of the hard work himself. Except for that which he wanted to do, of course. Within time, he would take over the world, but first, progress needed to be made. There were a few key targets which needed taking care of and Manterror needed to be leading the Predicons. He had a good bargaining chip for now - the Stasis pod which both teams seemed eager to acquire. That would get a few underlings to do his bidding, however, the bigger fish wouldn't be so interested. They would need careful planning to take out.

"I landed on this world from a pod myself and it just so happens that it landed out of scanning range of both teams. I do possess the coordinates, however, I will not just let anyone take the prize. I require a bounty hunter. Someone who can kill that little lizard who made me suffer. I will speak only to the first one who brings me her body." He spoke coldly to both Nemesis and Starshadow at the same time. While the Mantis rather wanted to kill her himself, having someone else spare him the trouble would be just as good. Besides, while it may sound as if Revenge was on the top of his list, it was quite far from it. It happened to be quite a good cover story but treachery was his true motive.

[starshadow]

Starshadow's ears went back a little, "Kill Frilla? Count me out, Iron Hawk Lady can do the job." she walked away as she flicked her tail. It was a disappointment. The job was not challenging at all. The deal sounds good to the panther but the level of excitement was not up to her standard. If someone wants to kill somebody, the target should be stronger like Optimus or Icebreaker. "I feel insulted.."

[NaitoKage]

Rhinox sighed walking towards her Fine, if that's how you want it. You believe your diet has caused these abnormal chemicals..?Then I would like you to bring in some of these animals you've been eating as samples, perhaps I could even go with you for these hunts. I also realize how dangerous that creature is, which is why for your sake and the crew's sake I would even confront you like this.

He then moved away from her towards the computer, bringing up the data scanned from the Nomad Now as for your test results.. they're not good to be honest. Icebreaker isn't familiar with these fields. I'm not completely sure what's going on, but.. whatever Sonar injected you with, isn't what you normally get injected with. It's dormant for now, but simulation show the clone tissue is integrating with your own.. It's like a disease almost. You might not want to leave the base for a few days for further analyses. Well.. either that or find Sonar, if that's the case.. you'll have to talk to Optimus and probably need Feralnight,Tigatron, and Icebreaker.. they're some of our best trackers in the group.

Rhinox then looks towards the body on the table ... Though Icebreaker may not be able to join. He gave a portion of his spark energy to jump start Nightmist's energies and remains. From what I can tell, that probably is not Nightmist and more..some.. strange offspring between Icebreaker, Nightmist, and Nemesis.. though I don't think I should tell Icebreaker or this sparkling that.

_________________________

Glowstick raised an optic ridge Taste bad? Well, you certainly have unique eating habits.. Though speaking of which.. Glowstick floated into the room, looking towards Nemesis, then Manterror and Starshadow, over hearing Manterror talk about wanting frilla assassinated. Well, I see you three are getting acquainted, though.. I must admit your proposal is..kinda laughable. Your asking them to kill a librarian.

[Night-Hunter]

Fine, if that's how you want it. You believe your diet has caused these abnormal chemicals..? Then I would like you to bring in some of these animals you've been eating as samples,

"You want me to drag a 850 to 1580 animal from my hunting grounds all the way back to Axalon?" Saber asked rather surprised.

perhaps I could even go with you for these hunts. I also realize how dangerous that creature is, which is why for your sake and the crew's sake I would even confront you like this.

"That would probably be more logical. But, hey if you think you can keep up then go ahead. I know that, but... there's not a whole lot I can do to help you."

Now as for your test results.. they're not good to be honest. Icebreaker isn't familiar with these fields. I'm not completely sure what's going on, but.. whatever Sonar injected you with, isn't what you normally get injected with. It's dormant for now, but simulation show the clone tissue is integrating with your own.. It's like a disease almost. You might not want to leave the base for a few days for further analyses. Well.. either that or find Sonar,

Saber narrowed her optics slightly. "Fine, just to prove that i'm a loyal Maximal I'll stay in the base."

if that's the case.. you'll have to talk to Optimus and probably need Feralnight,Tigatron, and Icebreaker.. they're some of our best trackers in the group.

Good luck with that. When Sonar doesn't want to be found, he practically vanishes off the map. And I am not talking to Optimus, I can do this without thier help. She thought, trying to believe her own words.

... Though Icebreaker may not be able to join. He gave a portion of his spark energy to jump start Nightmist's energies and remains. From what I can tell, that probably is not Nightmist and more..some.. strange offspring between Icebreaker, Nightmist, and Nemesis.. though I don't think I should tell Icebreaker or this sparkling that.

"While you figure out this strange miracle of life, can I go now?" She asked trying not to sound rude but it was growing more difficult by the second.

[NaitoKage]

(*LOL* Yes, Rhinox wants you to drag a 1580 pound animal back to base. God, what does Saber hunt, buffalo?)

Rhinox nodded Alright. he then moved to the door and opened it allowing her to leave I didn't say you weren't loyal to the maximals, however all your secerts make it a little difficult for those that care about you to help you. But I'm not going to argue this, I still have to figure out this so called miracle..


Rhinox rubs his face with a hand, then walked to his computer. I'm getting too old for this.. he muttered to himself, scanning and inputting information into the lifeform on the table.

[Night-Hunter]

(*LOL* Yes, Rhinox wants you to drag a 1580 pound animal back to base. God, what does Saber hunt, buffalo?)

((OOC: XD, nope bull moose.))

Alright. I didn't say you weren't loyal to the maximals, however all your secerts make it a little difficult for those that care about you to help you.

".... I know." She said quietly as he stood up and headed for the now open door.

But I'm not going to argue this, I still have to figure out this so called miracle..

I wouldn't expect you would. She thought.

"Good luck with... this."

She left the lab and headed straight for her quarters, she hadn't realized how tense she had been until she had shut her door. She shook her head, she couldn't do this any more, she couldn't continue to lie to her team mates, they had a right to know. Optimus had the right to know, she was amazed that she hadn't spilled every right then and there to Rhinox.

No more lies. She concluded. I will tell them, but there is some thing I will need to do first.

She once again shook her head before she headed for the berth, to get some rest. She would need a clear head if she was going to do this.

[Blazemane]

((OOC: Worpex, what terrible post?))

Cheetor opened the door and walked in.

"Hey, Big 'Bot. You wanted to see me?""

((There. That's how a proper terrible post is done!
Also, Saber Fang hunts animals?
...Don't tell Tigatron.))

[Alak]

((OOC: lol @ Blazemane. I don't even think that qualified under the 4 sentence rule ))

Orcariner nodded in acknowledgement of Cheetor's entrance. He felt that his role here was complete, but without Optimus Primal's dismissal the large Maximal chose to stay put.

"I just finished with my part of the debriefing," the orca told Cheetor, "My story has gaps, though, due to my limited presence in the skirmish. We were hoping you could fill in the rest of the details."

He then took one step back and gave the younger Maximal the floor.
