The Harbinger, now with the Decepticon scout ship attached to it's hull, was hidden behind a large asteroid that looked as if it has made up at least half of the mass of a small moon. With help from the captured Vehicon pilot, the Wreckers had positioned themselves close to the area where Thunderwing and his ship were expected to turn up. The security footage on the Vehicon scout ship was altered half way through so that the Decepticons would never learn of the true outcome of the battle but enough of it remained so that when they investigated the Vehcion pilot's story would hold up better. All of the supplies on the scout ship moved off on to the Harbinger for safe keeping and to keep it out of Thunderwing's hands.
On board of the Harbinger, the last of the Wreckers who needed repairs began to join the rest in the ready room where Kup was evaluating how the combat went down on the Vehcion ship. "I haven't seen such sloppy work since the last time I watched two sanitation droids trying running on top of a surface of slick oil! You hot shots call yourselves professional warriors? Your lucky you didn't mess up when takin' the bridge, though I wouldn't be surprised if you had. By some strange miracle you actually kept the pilot alive!"
Broadside would of rolled his optics if he didn't have a visor instead. "Well if Bomblast and Wreckrotor actually do what they're suppose to be doing them maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have been shot up like I had!"
"If you don't get shot up then you ain't doing your job!" Countered Kup.
Broadside sighed. "I can't win in this slaggin', no good unit…"
Kup then looked at Ironfist. "And you! Mister martial artist! They got the drop on you in your own element. What'cha got to say for yourself?"
Ironfist held his hands together and bowed his head down. "I have failed my brothers in arms. I have brought shame to the name of the Wreckers. It shall not happen again if I am permit to continue to serve along side my brothers, sir."
Kup held the temples of his forehead. "For Prime sake Ironfist! Whatever, just get over yourself and don't let it happen again!"
"Yes sir, getting over myself sir." Said Ironfist
Just then the doors opened revealing Roadbuster. "Kup! The Vehicon ship is about ready. And we got ever shred of information we need form the prisoner and taken care of him."
"Taken care of him?" Asked a puzzled Kup. "You mean you…" Kup then made the sign of a gun with his hand and pointed it at his temple as if he was shooting himself in the head.
"Naa! Though I think that would of been better. Springer had me stick him in one of the Vehicon ship's escape pods for safe keeping and then to later release him for all his help." Answered Roadbuster.
"Psst! Sometimes I wonder if Springer has the ball bearings for this job…."

Bomblast scowled at Broadside.
"Hey! I did exactly what I was supposed to do! I went in, I smashed a few Vehicons, without smashing any of you I might add! Then I saved your sorry skidplate after you took a laser to the knee." He said, tossing and catching a handful of Vehicon fingers.
He paused and thought for a moment, unfortunately in mid-throw, causing the Vehicon fingers to scatter everywhere. He turned to face Trigger and pointed at her.
"And you! Pay up! Fifty Shanix. I beat a Vehicon with another one. Ask Broadside. He watched me do it."
Meanwhile, Torque was sat at the edge of the group. He hadn't said anything for a while. He hadn't felt he needed to. He just wanted to get on with the mission.

Making her way to the ready room, Vela could hear her new comrades talking back and forth, likely about the taking of the scout ship. They seemed for more lively then the last unit she had been with, most of which she always kept in her memory and fought the Decepticons as a way to avenge their deaths except for one who had given into the Decepticons torture. Whatever had happened to him was a mystery to Vela, one she wished to never think of as it only brought about anger and regret, mostly from being helpless and not getting off the planet when she should have or helped to encourage her former unit to leave.
At any rate, the femme had been weighing the events and found so far being a Wrecker seemed to suit her new goals in life. She had already killed Decepticons without a second thought before, what was the difference of being part of this team aside from it being that, a team. Although, she was not entirely close to anyone upon it but she had so far grown to respect the Wreckers and their methods, quite liking to really not to be held back in most things but only when her more primitive instincts didn't kick in. That wasn't something she ever wanted to happen, not again at least. It had happened once and made her wonder where it ever came from, unless only from the newest form she now bore thanks to a certain Decepticon's experiments.
Shaking her head to clear it she finally stepped into the room as the door opened, coming in in time to hear Kup and the others speaking of what had occurred. "Least we all came back in one piece," She commented to no one in particular as she preferred to stand off away from the others, "Though can't say much for the Vehicons, obviously." She added, kicking one of the fingers Bomblast had dropped away from her spot.
At any rate, it was best to say they had left the Vehicons in pieces, almost literally.

When Sandstorm returned to the ship, he had helped the femmebots to med-bay and now accompanied Vela back to the bridge, hearing Kup having a massive rant at everyone, "Great, wonder who set him of this time.. Twintwist?..", the wrecker thought to himself.
"You know old timer, it's not good for you to get all stressed and angry at your age, you'll blow a circuit or two!", Twinstwist chipped in wraggling a finger at the bot from uncrossing his arms.
"Twintwist...."
"Look, all I'm saying is maybe it's time your overdue a maintenance check! We all get a little rusty in our advancing years! Xcept' me of course, they don't call me the show-stopper for nothin'!" grinned the bot turning his hands into two mock pistols, "yet get what I'm saying?"
"Killmenow klillmenow killmenow....", Sandstorm was biting his metallic lip, lenses rolling behind his optics wondering who was gonna burst out first on his fellow wrecker. He swore to Primus if one of the other wreckers didn't put a laser-bolt through him at some point he'd end up doing it himself.

"Just hearing' your voice is enough to blow out a circuit or three, Twin Twist!" Countered Kup. Just then the old warrior saw that Springer was coming around the corner. "All right slag buckets! Officer on the deck, fall in and can the chatter!"
The banter quickly died down as soon as the authoritative leader of the Wrecker came in. "Ok listen up cause I'm only saying this once. As most of you know we've been on the search for Thunderwing for a while. We know he has been very active as of late which has cost the lives of Autobots and other life forms across this galaxy for too long. We all want a crack at him and any Decepticon we can get our hands on. And that time is almost here."
Springer then walks over to a control panel, turns the screen on which displays a red planet. "Thats the rock the asteroid were hiding behind is orbiting around. On the other side of that planet is the Decepticon ship carrying Thunderwing. You may have heard of the ship's name, the Draconian. Its the warcraft that took down over half of the Autobot fleet in the beginning of the war, capable of producing enough firepower to rake the landscape off a planet. We wouldn't even make so much of a scratch on it's main viewport with it's shields down."
Boardside interrupted. "So are we taking it to them once they leave the ship and land on the planet?"
"Negative. What were going to do is the most dangerous thing us Wreckers have ever done." Springer paused to make sure he had everyone's attention. "We are infiltrating the Draconian. This mission is a mission of stealth. Were going on board to learn what Thundering is doing and then assessing the situation on what is to happen next."
Boardside interrupted again. "But I'm too big for infiltrations."
"And too loud." Said someone sarcastically.
"Your staying here on board. So is Bomblast and Roadbuster as this isn't there speciality. Any other questions?"

Download just came in when Springer was telling the other Wreckers the plan "sorry I'm late, was getting the last few dents out of my chest plate" she just heard Boardside say something about taking the ship and landing on the plant and Springer saying negative. Download sat near her new found friend Vela, Download had grown a liking to Vela scene she was a new wrecker in all, she thinks she great for the job, as for Download?, she loved it, being a part of the team and doing what she dose best, hacking computers and make some damage to cons. Download just heard again that springer say any other questions, "nope I'm gamed"

Vela could think of a million things to retort to Twintwist about his cocky attitude, and she likely could have been rather rude about it. But Springer came in at the time before she could think of anything so she just turned her attentions towards what he had to say.
Thundering...the name had a slight ring to her, maybe having heard it among the handfuls of Decepticons she hunted down as a lone mercenary. But much of it had been rumors here and there. As for the ship, she had not heard the specific name but she had heard of the ship that took out a good portion of the Autobot forces in the beginnings of the war. But with all the chaos going on at the time she had never bothered with details, nor really looking too deep into wha was going on at the times. She had only been worried of surviving and getting away from the war if she could at the time before being captured.
Though the fact of having to use stealth caught Vela's attention real quick again. She would be all for such a job, but she didn't say anything right away until Springer was done talking. Of course, she did take a moment to smile a greeting towards Download who was able to join them. She was one tough femme and the raptor femme was already taking a liking to her. Though the team as a whole Vela was still somewhat stand offi-ish until she really for to know the crew members.
"How long before we can expect to infiltrate their ship?" Vela spoke up after thinking for a moment, but she was curious to know just how long they would be waiting if at all.

Springer continued with the plan. "We'll be paying the Draconian a visit shortly. The Decepticon scout ship will drift over to the Draconian as it is. With all its dead soldiers still on board, security footage altered and with you lot hidden away on board the ship. Now we'll be dividing you up into two teams. Vela, Ironfist and Twin Twist are one team and Kup, Download and Sandstorm are the other. Kup, you'll have to lose the cy-gar."
Kup, who liked to indulge in the extra bit of energy surges his cy-gar, took it out and tossed it away. He knew it's smell might alert the Decepticons. "Fine by me, I'll naw on a bullet if worse comes to worse!"
Springer then looked at his Wreckers. "Download, I want you to snoop in their computers but be careful. Don't stay plugged in for to long, they might detect a hack. Twin Twist, I want you to carry as many explosives you can carry and pinpoint where we can hurt them internally. Sand Storm and Vela, your to gather as much information as you can on the number of troops they have and numbers. Kup and Ironfist are back up."
Springer then looked at Torque. "Now you, you have the role of a lifetime here Torque. You get to play our damaged Vehicon pilot. Once you land the scout ship in, you need to drop your energy levels low enough to make it look like your fake injuries are real. Once they roll you into the medical bay, escape and get close to Thunderwing. Change your appearance as need be. We need to learn what Thunderwing is up to and if we can learn what the other Decepticons are planning as well. Remember gang, this is a stealth mission."
Just as Springer finished his last statement, into the room came medical officer First Aid. In his hand was a data-board that he was using to scan the Wreckers. "Don't mind me Commander, I just wanted to make sure that all energy levels on your troops were reading properly."
As First Aid made a general scan of everyone in the room, he kept detecting sone rather unusual readings and continued to try to get get a fix on them.
"As long as it was you that fixed them First Aid I'm sure their fine." Said Springer before he went to finish up. "Myself and Trigger will stay back on the Harbinger. She's the best pilot we have and if we have to get you all out the hard way then it's up to Boardside, Bomblast and myself. Right, any questions quick before we head out? If not get your gear ready!"

Sandstorm gave Vela a little nod, although they would be on separate teams they both had the same objective and would have to remain in constant contact. Twintwist was quip free for once and looked deep in thought about what he was going to do with the explosives. Whist waiting to see if anyone else had any questions, Sandstorm presumed to summarize that there would probably be lots of Decepticons and no doubt the odds would be against them as always. Just how he liked it.

Torque jumped to his feet and took a few steps closer to the rest of the group.
"Stealth mission? Now you're talking my language. So, I play almost-dead on the bridge while impersonating the pilot, get moved to the medbay and then slip away and track down Thunderwing. Sounds simple enough. Question. What's the policy on me 'neutralising' a couple of Vehicons along the way?"
Bomblast looked at the ground and kicked at the floor.
"Aww, you guys are going to get all the fun." He whined. "Leave me stuck over here with nobody to smash."
Bomblast looked up as a thought ran through his head.
"Torque might want to be careful when he's playing make-believe. If he looks too wounded, I wouldn't put it past them to put him down. And if he doesn't look wounded enough, they might slag him for not doing his job. There's also a chance they might have someone on their crew who makes me look well-adjusted and mentally balanced." He giggled.

Springer saw the expressions of many of the Wreckers changed to what hinted as something sinister. The battle thirsty Autobots wanted action and its what they were good at, so he knew he would have to answer carefully. "You need to keep slag gin' cons to a minimum. And anyone you do take out has to disappear. Meaning if you can find forgotten storage area, a room with a door you can lock, or a garbage disposal then make use of them. Stay away from using a airlock, chances are if you active one the ship's computer will notify their bridge and alert the Decepticons. Only use extreme force as a last resort, and for Prime's sake keep it quiet."
Saying to the Wreckers to keep it quiet was against most of their natures, but then when he said so he remembered one more point he wanted to stress. "And remember to use your Internal Communicators so no one hears you speaking out loud. And as you may or may not know, you'll have to keep them on scramble mode. Meaning the radio frequencies will keep changing randomly so hopefully no one zeros in on your conversations. The Internal Coms should be able to regulate it's self when it comes to finding the frequency your using to talk to your team on board the Decepticon ship, but you'll have a harder time talking to us since transmissions going out from ship to ship are easier to pick up. Our scrambler will be working twice as hard to try and find a channel to use."

Vela looked back towards Sandstorm, knowing keeping in contact will be difficult but not impossible. A stealth mission came with such complications and she doubted any of the Wreckers weren't aware of that. But stealth hardly seemed to be what some of them aimed for more then just getting the job done as quickly as possible. Well, this seemed a time to be quick and deadly when the time came this time around.
Though as se listened to Springer, her processor was already beginning to calculate the possible numbers of Vehicons. There ha to be a couple or few hundred at best, maybe a couple thousand. That was the thing with Decepticons, there was never just a few Vehicons, if there were there usually were several more elsewhere. And if this Thunderwing really was so dangerous it wouldn't surprise her if he had hordes of them at his disposal so she wouldn't be surprised if their numbers turned out to be massive. "So silent first, deadly later. Sounds simple enough." She commented, now more then rearing to go soon as possible.
Besides how hard could this possible get?

Bomblast started to giggle uncontrollably.
"Heh heh heh. Silent and deadly."

****BEEP-BEEP****
Roadbuster looked at Springer and nodded before he went headed back in the direction of the ship's control deck. Springer then looked at the Wreckers. "That our cue! The Decepticons are not far off. Get to their scout ship and find your hiding place. Torque, time for you to get into character."

Torque got up and started making his way back to their captured ship, but he paused and turned to Springer.
"I think I'm going to need someone to come to the bridge with me and help me set up. If I sit down or lie down somewhere, it's going to look staged. I'm going to need someone to hit me so I can crumple naturally." He then raised his hand in Bomblast's direction just before the former Decepticon could pipe up. "Not you."
Bomblast made an obscene hand gesture behind Torque's back and started waving off the rest of the Wreckers.
"Bye guys! Have fun! Don't do anything I wouldn't do! Oh wait...You're supposed to be the good guys...Don't do anything I would do!"
