The Blitzkreig (Decepticon HQ)

[Kickback]

[glow=white,2,300]The Hunter-cons bowed collectively at Megatrons order.[/glow]

"It shall be done Megatron"

[glow=white,2,300]Kickback rose and rose a hand to usher out his comrades before nodding at Megatron and turning on his heel. If he was honest with himself he knew this was not the kind of mission the others had been hoping for. He had no problem with reconaissancee but he was certain Bombshell and to a lesser extent shrapnel would not feel the same way. They all wanted combat and sooner or later they were going to get it.

The Hunter-cons paced out of the bridge.[/glow]

"Bombshell, I want a schematic reading on the ship. We've been in cryo for a long time.

Then conduct a scan for residual energon traces, I want to know where the Autobots are within 2 cycles."

[Shrapnel]

[glow=purple,2,300]Shrapnel grimaced and strolled slowly behind Bombshell and Kickback. He wasn't a fan of spying, not least because he was far too big to ever truly hope to conceal himself.[/glow]

"This is gonna be interesting"

[glow=purple,2,300]He said quietly, his voice laced with sarcasm.[/glow]

"Secure that slag Shrapnel"

[glow=purple,2,300]Came the response from Kickback, sharp and to the point. Shrapnel accepted it willingly. He knew it was not his place to question orders and was a little upset that he had done so now. He put it down to residual effects of such a long cryo-sleep.[/glow]

[BigBot]

OOC: Anything you want to know in the scan let me know and i'll ad iit in a re-edit.

*The hunter-cons made their way to the landing ramp and left the ship swopping up the great cliff-side where the Decepticon ship lay below and onward across the new land..

Bombshell's scan showed the ship was had seen better days, no power, no defense weapons or shields, until they got the power back the hulking remains of a ship were just a shell, open and vunerable for attack..

As they travelled across the continent's surface of this new planet, Bombshell started tracing for Autobots...




Continue in Hunter-cons thread when ready, results for the 2nd scan will be posted there after a few settling in posts.

[skywarp]

Beforing exiting the bridge and heading off for repairs, Skywarp said to Laserbeak. "Hmmm, so Megatron begins to use his troops again for his own means. I wonder how fast he will forget about us."

[lasrbeak]

"Megatron's favourtism we'll be his own undoing Skywarp, for now we just play it cool, he'll fall, but when the time is right. We'll leave the blundering in with both feet for Starscream, if he ever returns!!" muced the Decepticon flyer.

[Megatron]

Pointing at his communication officer, "Soundwave. Bring me the technical specs of that which we search for. I want to know what our future clone army is capable of."

[BigBot]

Soundwave did as he complied and punched the data up from his data files he had dowloaed before the mission and waited for the informatio to appear before he could encrypt it to a data-disk to give to his mighty leader, Megatron..

"With respect, shouldn't we work to get this ships operations back online to gather a greater strength for searching this planet? With the ship's computers online we'll be able to search ten times more efficently for the clone army and have a better chance of finding them. We could also try and copute the Excillon's last tradjectory before it crashed to the planets below with the clones..."

[Megatron]

If anyone else had suggested it, Megatron may have ripped out their spark casing. A more important decepticon, he would have bashed them away and then waited for them to no longer be within audio range and then take their suggestion seriously and had it carried out.

But this was Soundwave, Megatron respected the mech's intelligence and talents. "Right you are Soundwave. Have all we need repaired at once and made ready to finish our mission. But first, it is time to contact Cybertron and undate our leader on how the mission goes. Open me a long range and incrypted channel, I shall be in my private chamber renergizing."

[BigBot]

"Commander, the information you requested on the clode army is ready", interjected Soundwave turning around in his chair and holding a small data disk in between two fingers.

The Decepticon looked caustiously at Laserbeak, Skywarp, Dirge and Rumble, which to break the other bad news? Eeny, meeny, miny...

[skywarp]

"Why is he looking at me like that?" Wondered Skywarp outloud.

[Megatron]

Taking the disc from Soundwave. "Excellent, I shall be in my chamber, and I expect not to be disturbed unless its important."

Megatron made his way from out of the bridge. As he walked along the damaged corridor, he fumbled the disc between his fingers like it was a card used in a game of chance. A grin came over his face as he thought about the secrets the disc held.

[BigBot]

*Megatron reached his chambers and played thedisk into a portable console until where a glossy education documantary style info-gramme started playing on the screen...

AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION...

PROJECT LEGIONAIRES:

"What is Project Legionaires", came the male sounding narration..

"Project Legionaires is simply put creatling life, from lifelessness....

Decpticon scientists initiated the cloning programme, an idea to create an army of millions, each one the perfect and ultimate killing machine designed for only one thing, destruction. Each warrior would look identical in the original stages and was trained to the upmost in fighting, tactics, firearms & weaponry, skills all used to kill their opponents and move onto the next enemy.

After succesful programme, just four were created, all identical and having having basic identification, zerozerotwo, zerozerothree etc.. The drones are built like very basic decepticon warriors, but are at the peak of perfection, they began succesfully participating with campains, mixed with other Decpticons.. Over many battles and campains they have prooved so sucessful that, phase 2 has been guarenteeed - to make ans many as possible, thousands, thousands upon thosands, the ultimate clone army. Once production has begun, more and more of these clones can appear on the battlefield and satistically decrease the Autobot forces.

Each Clone has a simply transformation into an arial fighter, but the thinking process has been stratigically removed, replaced by commands and functions. Each clone has jet boots from it's alternate form and can stay in the air for great lengths of time. The weaponry they carry inclides missile launchers, arm blasters, inter-changable hands that can can swithch to inbuilt havy firing chain gun fire from their wrist sockets", diagram points to these areas "Eye lasers, a sonic blast attack to disable enemy systems, night/infra-red, heat sensor lights in their seeker shoulder compartments for easy detection," diagram points to these areas, "triple fire power at the waist from a joint three barreled shoots that rotates and lays dormant to face the pelcic region when not in use" , diagram points to these areas "but most importantly due to their light-weight frame they remaion not only agile on the battlefield but yield incredible strength.

With their residual armour, phase 2 is nor in works, shiiping whole fleets of these magnificent warriors across the galaxy..." cuts to a shot of space... "For complete galactical extermination and domination of the universe..."

The programme ended with a giant decepticon logo emblazed on the screen....[/b][/color][/font]

[Megatron]

(OOC: Heh, project genisis?)

Megatron pondered the information. And then speaking out loud and to himself, "Its a pity that these troops were left to me. I would do well with a soilder who didn't have a mind of his own. Or at least loyal, much like Soundwave. Even still, I can not afford to trust him completely.... Computer, is there any information on the disc about how we lost the clones?"

[BigBot]

"Unknown parameter", replied the voice.

"The Decepticon vessel the was believed to be destroyed after crashing into the planet, the cause of which is unknown. No known clones are thought to exist...

[Megatron]

".... and yet we have been sent out here to find them. This expedition has already cost us much, and I plan to use the clones to help make up for it. I wonder just how dependent they truely are on a master, after all they are decepticons.... and made after our kind...."

After thinking for a while, the commander realized that Cybertron would be waiting for an update. He would have to make contact very soon with his superiors, though he hated that notion.
