Some time later...
The Autobots had managed to shift a couple of layers of rubble and rock at the back of the base to reveal a huge iron hatch. After it had been forced open, and there optics became accustemed to the light, a conveyer belt, designed to bring in supplies, swam into focus.
"It is undoubtedly not the most dignified of entrances, Shipwreck, but I'm afraid you probably woudn't fit through The Passage, our secret entrance"
Disgrace stepped back.
"After you."
A long, thin claw ran it's length through a drop of liquid energon, raising it to eye level.
"Yes... certainly from a wound... very recent, by the look of it...
We must return to base at once!"

Shipwreck's optics brightened in amusement.
"Aww! I'm a seadog! I'm not used to hte most pleasant things ever HA!" He gives a hearty chuckle, and squats down, looking inside. He sat back and thrusted his legs inside, followed by the rest of him. It took a while for his optics to ajust, but he grinned and looked around. Then stepped back as much as he could to give the others space and not run into anything.

Promience ran over to a set of complex dials and levers, pulling and turning them, while muttering under his breath.
"Cut of routes A12 through X78... De-power Welding Pit Alpha... there!"
With a loud rumble, the conveyer belt started to move.
"I believe that the only accomadation available for one of your... caliber is one of the old welding pits. I am sorry that we cannot offer something a little more... luxurious."
"Aw, cut the slag, Disgrace! Shipwreck, you okay to crash in a welding pit for a while?"
Disgrace glared over at Peregrine, who just shrugged.

Shipwreck grinned at the others. He bent over so he could look at them at the face, opic band bright in amusement. "It's a place to stay and that's all it needs to be! It's great! Thank ye lads!" He smiles, standing back upright and taking a few steps forward. "Seems just like 'ome ta me!" He chuckles.
Something splatters to the ground, making a loud splish close to Disgrace. Shipwreck walks on without notice, looking around, unaware that a large cut down his left forarm is bleeding energon that runs down to his fingertips and drips off the end.

Prominence jumped back of the console as the conveyor belt groaned into light. His brow furrowed in confusion.
"Can anyone else here that? A sort of dripping sound..."

Shipwreck blinked and twisted his ody aroudd to see Prominence. A brow raised, optic band giving a small flicker in thought. He was still and silent.
Plick.. sloosh...'
His optics widened, band bright in surprise.
"Yeah.... I hear it...." He fell silent again, and glanced around the building. "Where's it comin' from?"

Prominence scanned the room. It was air-tight, so their couldn't be any moisture...
"Primus! Shipwreck... Youryouryouryouryouryour ARM!!!!"
++WARNING. INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDERS IDENTIFIED AS A BATTALION OF DECEPTICON SUPREMACY DRONES++
"Slaggit! Prominence, get Fortification on-line, Peregrine, get to the Gauss Cannon! Maneuver Sisco Delta Taylor! Shipwreck, you think they could be after you?"
Disgrace's eyes crackled with energy, powering up for a full concussion blast. Peregrine dashed off down a tunnel, while Prominence activated his comm.
++Fortification, please meet me in the control room, this is an emergency!++
"Shipwreck, I must ask you to follow me and Prominence to the control room, so we can formulate-"
A massive impact rocked the room.
CRASH! "Damn! They're already opening fire! COME ON, YOU TWO!!!"
Disgrace darted for a tunnel off to the left...
Fortification cocked his head in curiosity. He had not been on-line for two weeks, and he was already in a combat situation. Most distressing.

Shipwreck blinked and looked at his arm, his optics following the long gash down the side.
"Ahh... now thay could be the problem...."[/colo] He frowned, not seemign to bothered. He sighed."Oops! Note to self! Better landings!" He said sarcasticly, grinning to the others.
Then the alarm rang, making him jump slightly in surprise. 'Already?! Am I that obvious to the world?' He frowned, watching Disgrace run off, before shrugging and squeezing in after him. He sighed, doing his best not to crush anything or anyone.
"These hallways gonna be big enough? I can always go around an' starting shootin' back!"

As Disgrace sprinted, he rattled of instructions to Shipwreck.
"When I say to split up at a junction, take the left passage. Don't worry, the passages get wider as they go. after that, take the second left, third right, first left center path and you'll end up in one of the inactive welding pits. Wait for further instruction from there. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING."
Disgrace had a look of violent mania in his eyes that Prominence knew all too well. He was planning something violent and vindictive that would look great on record...
Peregrine climbed several ladders, ran down a corridor and came to a high vantage point, the gauss cannon sitting deceptively hidden under the rubble. She strained in her effort to yank it free, but it eventually came up, and she jumped onto the tight, shock absorbing seat. Firing of three shells, they streaked across the sky, blowing to dust a troop of Supremacy Drones...

Shipwreck squeezed threw passages in persuit. "Aye aye! Left passage, second left, third right, first left center path to da weldin' pits! Don' touch anythin' and wait further orders! Me thinks I got it!" His optic band flickered bright blue in excitement. 'A'least them passages get bigger.. any smaller and there'd been nome left!' He chuckled to himself and followed after Disgrace. "Ready!"

"Good. Now..."
Disgrace and Prominence came to a junction.
"SPLI-"
"Wait!"
The pair stopped dead in their tracks.
"Has anyone seen Blindspot?"
"I thought he went with Peregrine."
"No..."
Blindspot darted through the corridors, eyes wild.
"Must get back... have to cleanse myself! Termination loose in the tunnells now... catastrophic!"
He tumbled as a second impact rocked the base...

Shipwreck stopped, and glanced at the two in puzzlement. "We misin' someone?" He looked around and leaned against a wall for support as another blast knocked him off balence slightly. He righted himself and looked down at the two smaller bots. "Can you reach hold of him by comm link? Who are we missin'?" hisoptic band darkened in worry and he strained his audio sensors for any sound down the hallways.

"No time to stop for him now. Shipwreck, split up!"
Disgrace and Prominence darted back down the right passage, leaving Shipwreck alone as yet another impact rocked the base...
Peregrine fired off more shots, smiling with satisfaction as moer Supremacy Drones were reduced to scrap...

Shipwreck sighed and trudged down the left corridor. Frowning, he went over the instructions given and passed by a hall. "One..... two! Aha!" He smiles, turning left. Passing by a few more paths, he took the third right. Shuffling to a stop, his gaze travelled around a few more corridors. "Aaaaaaaaaaaannndddd! What's behind door number first left cetre path to da weldin' pits!" He chuckled, taking the correct path. He felt slightly more at ease as the corridors did widen up and he was able to somewhat stand up all the way without having to bend over to far. With a smile he placed both hands on his hips and looked around, being careful where he walked and placed his feet. "Well! This is it! Now what?"
++COMM++
"Shipwreck here! In possition!"
++END COMM++

Prominence and Disgrace dashed through the passages, until they came to a hatchway. Opening it, they came to the Command Center, a vast room with a map of Cybertron on a huge table, surrounded by computer banks. Fortification was sat in one of the chairs around the table, calmly awaiting their arrival.
"Hello, comrades. What is our situation?"
"Please configure into Defender, Fortification. We've got a troop of Supremacy Drones outside! Prominence, contact Shipwreck and tell him to initiate maneuver 60-Gamma!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh, and contact Bloodhound in the holding cells. Tell him to release our... guest, and then to bring him up here!"
Fortification transformed, grabbing hold of Disgrace and configuring steadily into armor, until the black and red mech stood resplendent in Fortification's 'defender' mode.
++Comm++
Shipwreck, can you see a lever on the left wall? Give that a good yank, then wait for further instruction!
++Comm++
Bloodhound, bring your charge up here, we have a situation!
++End Comm++
