Vela's distraction worked. In fact it worked too well. All the cons in the area looked to where the noise was coming from and it even got the attention of those inside the scout ship. Ramjet started to cough again. "What in the blazes was *cough-cough* that?!"
Ironfist grabbed Twin Twist by the shoulder and the two were running down the ramp. +++IC+++ "There!" +++IC+++ Ironfist pointed to the floor grate that Vela pointed out and the two Wreckers were making there best efforts to get under the floor. Within seconds the grate was open, allowing Twin Twist to get in as Ironfist held it open for him.
The medic standing above Torque just looked down at him. "Wait? Wait for what? Your damaged and were going to fix you. You got a problem with that?"
Kup, Sandstorm and Download kept traveling on for a while. Until finally they stopped. Kup popped his head up for a second and could see that they were now in a large lift. Suddenly the entire container felt as it it had fallen down, while it was the lift activating and going down. All three Wreckers could hear talking.
"You know, it's a miracle that were able to get any work done. What with the lack of really Decepticon on board."
"Yeah Vehicons are stupid. Not smart enough to do any real work. But I'd rather them shift through the energon samples then us. That's some stuff I'd rather keep away from."
"The mining area isn't too far away. 10 more levels down."
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
As the two ran down the hallway First Aid answered Bomblast. "Fine then! But you'll have to restrain him, just down kill him! Well maybe it won't…. no keep him alive! I might have some questions for him!"
The two arrived at the back of the ship. There they were surrounded by escape pods. In one of the escape pods was the Vehicon that Springer placed the pilot in with the intention of shooting him off into deep space. First Aid opened the escape pod revealing the handcuffed Vehicon. The Vehicon looked at First Aid with contempt. "You look a little small for a Wrecker!"
"Hi. I'm First Aid and this is Bomblast. Were conducting research and your the test subject!" First Aid then took his data pad out and scanned the Vehicon. He got the same mysterious readings as before. "A-ha! Look Bomblast the same mysterious readings as before! Hmm, unless our friend here some how got out or leaked all over the ship, then I can only guess that there are two sources giving off these readings. The escape pod's shielding would have concealed this Vehicon's readings, but if there was another Vehicon on board….. !"

As they reached the escape pod, Bomblast froze in place as his third optic went dim again. Luckily for First Aid, but not-so-luckily for the Vehicon, Bomblast's optic changed from green to purple, changing him back to his normal self, well, normal for him anyway. Bomblast poked his head into the escape pod as First Aid and the Vehicon talked.
"What First Aid here lacks in size, I more than make up for. He said while waving. "Want me to ask a couple of questions? I can be very persuasive when I need to be."
As he said that, he drew his combat knife and waved it at the Vehicon.
"It would be very nice to know if there is another Vehicon on board. I much prefer to track them down than have them handed to me." He giggled.
Torque lay back against the operating table and looked up at the ceiling.
"Frag it." He muttered. "Yes, I do have a problem."
With that, he grabbed the medic's wrist and pulled him hard, causing him to rake the cutting tool across another medic. He rolled off the table and shoved the medic with the cutting tool back and made a quick assessment of the situation. Three medics, one wounded, and two Vehicons. Torque grabbed a tray with medical equipment and tossed it at the Vehicons before attempting to tackle one.
"Trigger, if you're still here some help would be nice!"

The two Vehicons facing Torque took out there weapons and aimed at Torque, but then one of the medics yelled, "Stop! Thunderwing wants him alive for questioning!"
"Fine, we won't blast him, yet! Ok pal, hands up and on the floor. Thunderwing didn't say I can't shoot your legs off."
Trigger could see that no one was looking her way.
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
The Vehicon looked confused. "What other Vehicon? Hey I was taken as a prisoner, placed in her with the promise that I'd be jettisoned to some nice neutral planet of I answer all your questions and I'm still here! You took me captive all by myself, so if there are other Vehicons on board ain't nothing I know about!"
First Aid looked at the Vehicon. "Hmmmm, in my experience, everybody lies. But your making sense. Bomblast, pick him up and lets get back to my lab. He full of the substance we're trying to figure out. Ask him if the Decepticons are using any new energon."
The com link came to life again. +COMLINK+ "First Aid! Bomblast! Its Springer! Have you found Trigger?" +COMLINK+
"Ooopsm forgot about him.... +COMLINK+ "Sorry commander, sorry we were involved in something and got distracted. Still looking for Trigger, will report when we find her! +COMLINK+ Say Bomblast, you don't think perhaps maybe Trigger is actually a Vehicon spy? Maybe thats who we detected? I mean the signal did disappear after she left." First Aid wondered out loud.

Bomblast approached the Vehicon and wrapped one of his gigantic hands around the Vehicon's head and pulled him out of the escape pod before dumping him on the floor. He then picked the Vehicon up and tucked him under his arm and followed First Aid. He knocked on the Vehicon's head with his free hand.
"You heard the medic. You using some new kind of energon?"
He pondered First Aid's question about Trigger.
"I dunno. She seemed to be enjoying herself when we slagged them back on the ship. But she does owe me fifty shanix from a bet we made. Not paying up does seem like a Vehicon-ish personality trait." He said, absent-mindedly bumping the Vehicon into the walls as he walked.

First Aid looked at Bomblast with a roll of the optics. "Well its not like the Decepticons care about Vehicons! They're drones after all!"
The Vehicon tried to answer Bomblast "I don't know! *BONG* Ow! Were just re-energized when we need it! *BONG* Ow! Would you stop that and watch where your going *BONG* Ow!"
They then arrived at back at the med lab. "Well he's not going to talk, fine. We'll just cut him open. And when Trigger does come out of hiding on the ship then we can question her. That is strange. And hmm, I suppose I could of actually scan the escape pods for energon readings now that I think of it."
First Aid tapped up the ship's control systems on a control panel on the wall. He checked the rest of the escape pods and found nothing. He then did scan of the ship for more energon readings and found only those that were suppose to be on the ship.
"Hmm, no Trigger on board. Unless she was using a EM cloak device that I designed for the team. But if she was then the power-cells inside each one of them would of run out by now. You don't suppose she went a-wall? Now would be a strange time to do so with the Draconian so close. Well whatever, none of my concern. Time to get some answers."
And with that, First Aid cut into the Vehicons with Bomblast's blade to the point the Vehicon began to leak.
"Ow! What kind of Autobots are you?" The Vehicon protested.
"The kind that are not interested in artificial-intelligent drones protesting the abuse they suffer from us." Responded First Aid as he gathered a sample of the Vehicons energon, that was leaking all over the place, and getting on Bomblast again.

Bomblast patted the Vehicon on his head, probably a bit harder than he needed to.
"There, there. Who's a brave boy? That wasn't so bad, was it?" He said as comfortingly as a huge, psychotic walking tank could.
He then moved around and stood directly in front of the Vehicon and leaned in close.
"As for what kind of Autobots we are, technically, I'm not. I used to be a Decepticon, but I went a little crazy. Well, crazier than normal. Butchered my squad because they made fun on me. Now, I'm pretty much kept in a box, only brought out on special occasions." He said menacingly.
Bomblast turned to First Aid, instantly becoming cheerful again.
"If Trigger was still on board and using an EM cloak, wouldn't the sensors be malfunctioning in the area she's in? No sensor malfunctions and no trace of her life-signs says to me she left the ship. There's only two reasons she'd disobey orders. Either she's with them," He said, jerking his head at the Vehicon "Or she just wanted to slag a few more of them. Frak! Why didn't I think of that?"

Vela cursed under her breathe as the noise drew the attention of the intoxicating Ramjet, making her look towards her comrades with concern as she moved quickly, and as silently, as she could while her form likely shimmered on occasion showing the distortion in her cloaking field. They likely didn't have much time now before the Decepticons would be looking or the seekers coming to see the commotion and if they did the least she could do was make certain Ironfist and Twintwist were able to continue.
Besides it wasn't uncommon a mercenary would try and sneak on a ship for a bounty, and it wouldn't be hard to feign the chances of doing just that, seeking a bounty for a high amount of credits. Surely Thunderwing had a big bounty on his head right? Contemplating possible excuses for being there Vela held the grate up, shifting off her chameleon power for now, ++IC++"Ironfist go, I'll hold this open. If need be I'll stay behind and slow these guys down if it gets bad enough. "++IC++ She told him, her optics quickly flashing back and forth between the crates she had pushed over and the airlock,++IC++"Quickly."++IC++ She said in a more urgent tone, knowing she likely would get an audio full later if she ended up revealing herself, but at this rate risks had to be taken.

As Twin Twist crawled his way under the floor via the vent, Ironfist moved about and saw the stumbling Ramjet at the top of the ramping, looking at the commotion all about the area. Ironfist then grabbed Vela's arm and pulled her with him through the opening.
CLANG!
The opening to the floor grates were closed and all three Wreckers were hidden under the floor. Ramjet, drunk out of his mind, looked in the direction of where the Wreckers were just seconds ago and saw nothing. "Man, all this noise for nothing! So frakkin' un-p-p-professional!" The Seeker then turned around and went back into the ship.
Ironfist nodded to Vela and then took off his EM clock disc, inspecting it before pocketing it away. +++IC+++ "Dead now. We got out of sight just in time. Ok Twin Twister, lead the way. And lets find some where to deposit your explosive hardware while were at it." +++IC+++
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
First Aid shot Bomblast a glare, again. "Nooooo! They just wouldn't pick up anything. EM cloaks shield the person using them and…."
Just then the med lab's computer sounded off. It had identified the Vehicon's energon as the same substance found on Bomblast. "Ah! So it is energon! So Vehicon, hey do you even have a name? Here you are going on as if you have rights and I bet you don't even have a name!"
"I do have a name!" The Vehicon replied.
The med lab computer went off again. This time identifying the sub-atomic structure of the energon as red and green energon.
"What? That can't be possible!" Yelled First Aid.
"No it isn't! My name isD-1818!" The Vehicon replied.
"Not you I mean what the computer is saying! Its saying your full of red and green energon! But that's impossible no one has ever combined different grades of energon before!"

Bomblast laughed loudly, clapping the Vehicon on the shoulder.
"D-1818? That's a rubbish name!" He cackled.
He quickly became serious again.
"Err, Doc? Is it, you know, safe for me to be covered in this stuff? Especially since you said it is self-replicating."
Torque froze and raised his hands at the guards request. He lowered himself to one knee and looked at the nearest one. He calculated the risks and decided to go for it. He pushed off and lunged at the nearest guard, tackling him and attempting to use him as a shield against the other guard.
+++IC to Trigger+++ "Any time you want to help out, that would be great." +++IC+++

For his troubles Torque received a nasty hit to the back of his neck with the handle of a gun, bring him down to the floor. The impact cause his holographic disguise to break up a little. "I think we have a store away fellas!" Said one of the Vehicons as he raised his gun at Torque's head.
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
"No of course not Bomblast your fine! Now let me concentrate on figuring how this energon was made from the red and green energon, I'm not sure it's possible." Said First Aid as all his attention was on the computer screen.
As the two Wreckers went about their business, both were too busy to see the Vehicon reach for Bomblast's knife that was covered in his energon and left on the table. In a flash the Vehicon grabbed the knife and stabbed Bomblast in the arm with in. The knife cut through the elbow joint of Bomblast's arm and actually drew energon as it remained there stuck in position. The Vehicon then rolled away and ran out the med lab.

Sprinting from her cover Trigger launched herself in the direction of Torque and the guards. Throwing a Smoke grenade for cover as she made her way forward. Considering that her and Torques cover were pretty much blown she decided she might as well go full scale and , bringing out her trusty Pathblaster, shot at the appendages of the vehicons, aiming to disorientate and disable them so Torque could make his way out.
+++IC+++ TORQUE! 'm right behind you! Move your aft and let's split! +++IC+++

The shots from Trigger found there mark. The two Vehicons fell to the floor, wounded and weaponless, leaving the medical personal to deal with. The smoke grenade had by now exploded and covered the area, making it next to impossible to see anything except for the bright lights on the computer consoles all about the lab.

Torque activated his chameleon circuit as the room filled with smoke and the two Vehicon guards fell to the floor.
+++COMM to Trigger+++ "Be right with you, the medics need to be dealt with. They saw me without my disguise. No witnesses." +++COMM+++
Torque crept quietly through the room, listening carefully to pinpoint the medics. He deployed his assassin's blade as he located the first medic, the one he'd injured earlier. He slipped the blade into the medic's torso and then started to hunt down the other two.
Bomblast let out a roar as he felt his own knife sink into his arm.
"He just out-lived his usefulness!" He yelled, seeing the D-1818 run out of the med-lab.
Bomblast's third optic flickered and turned red for a second as he pulled his knife out of his arm. He doubled over as the optic flickered again.
"Doc, don't follow me!"
With that, Bomblast charged out of the med-lab, hot on the tail of D-1818. He let out another roar of anger as his third optic turned red, glowing brightly. He rounded a corner too quickly and slammed into a wall, but he spotted his target.
"YOU! GET BACK HERE!"
Bomblast sprinted after the Vehicon and tackled him to the floor. He raised his knife and brought it down hard, twisting it inside D-1818. He thrust the knife a few more times before discarding it and resorting to using his fists, pummelling and tearing at the Vehicon. Soon, energon was splattered all over the walls and little remained of the Vehicon, except for his limbs, his head and torso almost completely obliterated by the enraged Bomblast.
Bomblast stood up and began prowling through the ship's hallways, looking for his next victim.
+++SHIPCOMM+++ "Come out, come out, wherever you are. Bomblast only wants to play....WITH YOUR ENTRAILS! HAHAHAHA! Think you can keep me locked up? Torturing me? Prodding around inside my head? You made me like this! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! YOU'LL ALL PAY!!" +++SHIPCOMM+++
OOC: GM approved actions

OOC : Trigger and Torque can make quick work of the Vehicons and medical staff.
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
If First Aid had a mouth the bottom of it would be on the floor right now. As he stood there in shock he heard Springer's voice over the shipcomm.
+++SHIPCOMM+++ "What in the blazes is going on down there? Bomblast have you lost your mind!" +++SHIPCOMM+++
Boardside, who had been in the gunner pod this entire time, heard the commotion and then stuck his head out to look into the corridor. Of in the distance he could see the anger Bomblast approaching "Oh slag, Prime told me their be days like this…."

Bomblast hadn't seen Broadside off in the distance. He stopped to check another room. The door was opening too slowly for his liking, so as they were opening, Bomblast grabbed them and wrenched them open. He entered and began searching the room for anyone, hoping to find someone else to smash into pieces.
+++SHIPCOMM+++ "Why yes, I have lost my mind. Or am I thinking clearly for the first time in my life? Eh, who cares?" +++SHIPCOMM+++
In his current state of mind, Bomblast didn't recognise that he was talking to Springer. He didn't know who he was talking to, but he knew that whoever it was, they were responsible for everything that had happened to him and they had to pay. Further angered by the fact that his search of the room had turned up nothing, Bomblast began to trash everything.
