"Hey, it was Glitch heads idea!" Said Torrent angrily, gesturing to the forest where Glitch was still with the Destrons. "There was some smoke comming out of the forest and he figured it'd be okay to check it out. Didn't seem too bad at the time...." Torrent nervously rubbed the back of his helm "....Next time I'm staying clear of any 'mysterious smoke' "

Reaper flew in and transformed back into his robot mode, hearing the last part of Torrent's little speach, and landed with the group.
"Thought you would have learnt that after last time."
He visibly shuddered as he remembered what happened last time he checked out some smoke.
"Noble know about this yet?"

Dinoboss growled
Dinoboss: "You weren't on a fact finding mission or sent out to investigate. It was a simple mission. I should right both of you up for insubordination!"
Dinoboss broadcast though the ships communications system
Dinoboss: --"Commander, we have a situation. Request your presence down at the airlocks."--
Dinoboss shook his head
Dinoboss: "Okay, sit-rep. Tell me everything you know about the Destron's. What were they doing? Was their ship close by? Was their leader with them? Every detail."

Torrent shot Reaper a dagger stare the looked back to Dinoboss where a stuck a look of passive annoyance on his face when he said 'insubordination'.
He frowned "No Leader. No ship. Just a team of 7 Destrons tearing up the forest for some reason... actually... it looked like they were... collecting it now that I think about it. There was a big heap of trees over by one of them and the others kept taking down and bringing more over. Didn't see much else after this really big guy just stopped and started shooting at us after being spotted. We found cover and tried to fire back but then when he almost scrapped us I started to retreat and recommended that Glitch do the same but...." Torrent tailed off a little "...he got hit badly. Couldn't see him through the smoke and trees cause by that time I was out of the forest. But he Commed me and said he'd hold them off and said some slag about his destiny to die fighting which I'm sure isn't going to happen."

Reaper gave a half smile.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two scouts did their job. They spotted something out of the ordinary and checked it out. Scouting the location, if you will. Had we all been there, Glitch and Torrent would have no doubt been sent to have a look from ground level while I would have been sent to take a look from above.
Anyway, this isn't the time for that. Shouldn't we be more focussed on resuing Glitch? Or finding out what the Destrons are up to?"

Dinoboss stood there in silence for a minute, contemplating the situation.
Dinoboss: "Destrons gathering wood. Makes no sense."

A couple of breems later Noble Convoy arrived at the airlocks, "Whats all the - Torrent your back, how was the mission? Tell me all about it then Reaper can tell me how his testing went..", replied the leader obliviously.

Dinoboss spoke up before the scout could
Dinoboss: "The scouts decided to pull some recon -- unauthorized -- and got the drop by some Destrons. Torrent say's they were gathering trees, separated him from Glitch. Torrent would like us to go back and help him, I'm advising we don't. After our last encounter, what they did to Metalingus..."
Dinoboss paused for a moment
Dinoboss: "We need to be ready for an attack. If they are close by, then it is imminent."

"We do have some good news, however. The turret appears to be working fine. If it can pick me up, it'll certainly pick up those lousy Destrons. Shame none of them are flyers, would be nice to give them a taste of their own medicine." Reaper added.

Standing silently in the background for most of the conversation, Grunt finally spoke up. 'Believe it or not, I agree with Dinoboss. Were out numbered and the ship needs to be protected. We need to fortify right now. The gun is ready. The computer can operate it, freeing up some hands. Give the word Commander.'

"Don't be too hard on them Dinoboss, they have good sparks", answered the Cybertron leader, "Grunt is right however, if they call for the rest of their team mates that's at least 9 to our 5. And as we don't know where their base is a scouting expedition would be futile, the chances of them pulling a surprise attack high. I'm afraid Glitch will just have to take his chances.
Let the computer take over the turret. The meet me on the main bridge", ordered Noble Convoy, and left the way he had came.

Dinoboss walked over to a terminal on the wall and punched in the security authorization codes. He activated the base defenses and set them to high alert. He closed the airlock leading outside and locked it tight then motioned to the three cybetronians standing there.
Dinoboss: "After you."

Torrent folded his arms and marched his way past Dinoboss to go to the main bridge. As much as he disliked Glitch, he was still a Cybertron and Cybertrons stuck by each other, he thought. He completely understood and agreed with what Convoy had said, but it didn't mean he had to like it. He grumbled angry to himself the whole way there

Reaper caught up to Torrent.
"Wasn't anything you could have done. If you stayed, you would have been captured, or worse. You managed to get back here and warn us what was happening. Good job."

Grunt went to the armory room to suit up and get fully supplied on what he could.
