Deep underground a newly refurbished Historical building on the outskirts of Washington D.C. The hustle and bustle of both Autobots and Humans alike are scrambling with new arrivals. In the main office sat Colonel Lara Anne Lansing. The commanding officer of the Altech Organization. And also present in the office was a General from the US Government Military.
The Colonel sighed over the stack of reports she was getting on the new arrivals she picked up one in particular reading Speedway on it. It read that he was supposed to arrive in a field near D.C. But he managed to collide with one of the Altech Satalites and was thrown off course to Daytona Beach, Florida. She looked at the General a second and he looked back.
"Is Something wrong Colonel?" The General asked.
"Yes.. It seems that Speedway isnt going to be rendezvousing with Bryan here in D.C." Colonel Lansing replied as she reached over to an intercom that was connected to speakers all over the underground facility. "Bryan Rivers you are needed in the main office." Lansing spoke into the microphone. Her voice rang out in the hallways and massive rooms.
Moments later a young man around the age of 20 stepped into the unusually large doors to the office. His name was Bryan Rivers while most of the guys on the base called him Speed for reasons known in his past when Sector 7 was still operating. "Yes mam what is it that you wanted?" Bryan asked the Colonel.
"Yes there is... Speedway was knocked off course your being sent to Daytona Beach, Florida as soon as your ready." The Colonel said.
"Why Daytona Mam?" Bryan asked.
"Because Son.. That is where Speedway is going to land after being thrown off course by one of our Satellites" The General replied answering Bryan's Question.
"Shipwreck is off shore waiting your arrival get moving ASAP That is all" Colonel Lansing said to Bryan. He gave a crisp Salute to Miss Lansing and nearly ran out the doors.
"The Boy seems to be on edge now-a-days." The General said to the colonel.
"Yes that is because he is being made an official Agent now instead of being forced to be a personal driver." Lara said to the General as she picked up another report and gave it a go over. "Taking care of these Autobots is quite a tedious task, keeping track of them all is going to difficult." Lara added.
"But it will pay in the long run. Keeping the Sector 7 agents for Altech was a smart move and then paring them with Autobots was even better." The General complimented on the Colonels ideas and plans.
"Now all we need to do is stay a step ahead of the Decepticons and we should be good." the Colonel added as a pair of Autobots passed by in the large corridor.

Meanwhile: Near Daytona Speedway
Speedway sat in vehicle mode after scaning the Mach 5 he was reviewing some of the abilities that his new form had before setting out after a weak signal he was picking up along the coast line. "Man if only i hadnt collided with that dang satalite then i would be in D.C. right now." Speedway mumble taking carefull note of each function he had he activated the Jumpjacks and he lifted up into the air. "Well that will prove handy." He said as he activated them again and they lowered him back to the assfault. He then activated the spike treds and small spikes protruded from all four tires. "So will those." He added. Speedway got through the small checklist to make sure non of his other systems were damaged in the harsh landing. Once finished with that he reved his engine and started out of the parking area for the Race Track towards the weak energy signiture.

Off Shore:
Shipwreck seemed to stretch lazily in alt mode, which wasn't really stretching, but it caused him to sink slightly deeper in the water and bob back up. Anchor was sunk deep, keeping him steady even though he didn't really need it, but he had it down anyway. It meant he could relax, but a trip heading down to Florida wasn't currently on his mind. The whole deal with the Decepticons, Sunstorm in particular, and Optimus Prime. His newly constructed parts and recent repairs were still somewhat stiff, and large dents in the side of the hull were still there. But the Battleship bot could care less about injuries; Another dent is another dent, a scratch is a scratch, and what's another one of those? Just another story.
His new mission had caused him to leave the battlefield ASAP, and it felt odd to leave the others to come join up in D.C. and transport a human to Florida to ... nyaww... the large bot was just doing as told and didn't really ask more or less and he didn't really bother going over facts at the exact moment. Shipwreck had no problem taking a little trip to Florida... just one step into the deep ocean and closer to the crystal clear waters and reef filled tropics. Definitely no problem there.
The soft movements of the salty water lapping at the side of his hull were soothing, and waves were tilting back and forth in rhythmical beats. The ocean, or water in all, was simply fascinating and truly the best thing Shipwreck had ever come to known. He was lost in comforting thoughts when movement at the shore brought his attention back to reality.

Bryan took a small Boat to get to Shipwreck He decided he would radio in to him using his portable comlink he grabed on his way out of the base.
"Hey Shipwreck im here and ready i will be boarding soon on your starbord side commin in on a small boat." Bryan said into the com channel to Shipwreck. Bryan knew that the sea wasnt really where he felt at home but he had no car to speed his way to florida so he just did as he was orderd and went to board Shipwreck who would transport him to florida.

Shipwreck chuckled very softly to himself. "Well 'ere 'e comes! Howdy howdy lad! I see ye and yer li'l' boat." He replied with a small chuckle. "Gangway'z just a li'l' ways from where yer' are... should be a bunch of ladders. Hope yer not afraid of hights." He laughed at this and seemed to sink a little deeper to help, although it wasn't much. 'Hopefully this'll take me mind off o' things for a while. Hasn't been many years since my mind's rested easy...' He thought to himself as he waited for Bryan to board.

Bryan got to the ladders and tied the boat to of them. "Well it aint the Hight that im afraid of im used to the wide open road and a bunch of cops on my tail." Bryan said with a slight chuckle as he climbed to the deck. "Well ready when you are Shipwreck." Bryan added with a smile trying to hide how friggen nervouse he was about all of this.

Shipwreck laughed. "Aye I can imagine so. Welcome aboard, lad.. The large, heavy and water logged anchor raised at the side by itself, the chain pulling up and hoisting the weight out of the water and to a normal, comfortable, sailing position. He slowly moved forward, before picking a leaseurly pace towards the open sea.
The boat came to a sudden hault, making the water ripple and curl at the disturbance. "Well! I must say, make yerself at home, lad. The captain's cabin is open, and the best room in the place. Make yourself comfortable! Not many rules for you, being only one person, other then to don't touch anything in the command room that you don't know what it does. I don't wanna blow up half of the 'States while we're passin'. Yer allowed to wander as you please, but pay heed to those doors which iz' locked and say 'Do Not Enter'. You obviosuly know that..."
He paused for a few moments to let his earlier words sink in. "But if ye leave your gash onboard and I find it later, I will have you scrape barnacles off the bottom of my hull for a week. Is that understood[/b]?"[/color] He hissed sternly with a slight hint of furiousity. He wasn't kidding. Barcancles were not the funnest chore to do... unless you liked taking a chisel and trying to prybar one of those suckers off.
((OOC: **gash** : garbage, trash; **gash-can**: Garbage can; I will help you out with these sea terms, most of the time unless I forget, but I will put them up. ))

Bryan Nodded even though yes he was the only living person onboard Shipwreck at the time he really didnt want to end up trying to pry barnicles off of his Hull for any week. He went to the Captains Quarters and decided to relax in the cot in there for he was in for a wait to getting to Daytona he didnt mind as it was a meens to chilling out before he had to set out and find Speedway once he got to Florida. "Ya know Shipwreck i was brought into this whole mess because of my crazy driving back on land when i was only 16." Bryan said laying back trying not to think that he was out on water instead of a road.

Shipwreck seemed satisfied at Bryan's responce and contiues his way towards Florida. It shouldn't take to long, for him atleast, but it was and could be a long time it al depends. To many variables. He was debating whether or not to call back to the base that he and Bryan had left, when the lad spoke. "Really? Well I'd better note to self not to put ye behind my wheel." He chuckled softly. "The sea isn't much different from the road. It just seems to take a little longer, and on a ship my size, a little slower. You don't risk running into much, but you always have to keep a watchful eye and have quick reflexes." He chuckled again, carefully navagating his way to open water and south. "Be mindful... hard to starboard..." He said as the ship turned to the right and to the south. Switching to his comm link for a few moments, he called back to base. ++COMM++ Shipwreck to Altech Organisation. I have received my captive-I mean passenger and we are heading to Florida on scheduale. *pause* Just kidding on the captive, heh? *chuckle* ++END COMM++ He chuckled, knowing that he shouldn't have done that; but his good humor and character poked threw and he did anyway. ((OOC: **Hard to port/starboard**: turning left/right ))

Bryan just layed there trying to not let Shipwrecks hard turn get the best of him. "Well I may take you up on that offer if I have any issues with leaving Florida." Bryan said with a slight chuckle of his own. The last thing he heard before leaving Altech HQ was that a Hurricane was on course for Florida. But for the time being he wasnt to worried about it. "If you could Shipwreck i would like to know an estimated time to when Hurrican Clyde will make land fall on Florida. That would more than likely be like a time limit for me to find Speedway in Daytona and get out as fast as possible and i dont think i would be able to go by the Highway so we may need to hop back aboard ya and sail back to D.C." Bryan exclaimed as he looked out the window from where he lay. The Sky was clear as the glass covering the small round whole.

Back at the Altech Organisations HQ, the new Autobots who arrived last night, Blitzkat, Rápido, Tanda and River Wing, were still getting used to their new surroundings - an old building, one of many that had been converted for the organisation which joined forces with the Altech and the Autobot Transformers.
Many parts of the furniture had been converted to accommodate both human and Transformer sizes, especially the doors. Any computer areas had seperate special consoles that were higher up for the Transformers (Usually mounted on walls), but still able to access the same functions at the small humans.
The four of them still had concerns about this organisation, and if that wasn't enough, their fifth member they left Cybertron with, Speedway, was still missing...

Back in Daytona Beach, Florida:
Speedway made it to the coastline,( Daytona Beach ). He was supprised how uneventfull the short trip was after linking up with a GPS satalite so he wouldnt get lost. Once he got to the Beach however he delinking from that Satalite and started to head further south. "I guess i should try radioing into Altech HQ in DC my friends must have made it there by now." Speedway linked up with one of the Altech Communication Satalites and patched himself through one of their com Channels.
"Hey This is Speedway reporting to help ease the minds of Blitskat and the others that just got there. Im ok and no damage to account for. Im homing in on a weak fragment signal that i picked up once landing here im heading there now. That is all Speedway Out" Speedway said through the comm channel hoping that the D.C. HQ got his message. He continued slowly towards the signal trying to follow the many laws when he so wanted to speed his way there and get gone before anyone could have noticed.

Shipwreck frowned. Hurricanes were bad news, expecially with human passengers. But the again most storms at sea were bad news and most of the time he sailed threw them or went underwater and swam; when no one's on board. Now he had a passenger, just one, and maybe even another mech.
"I'm not sure lad. It depends... on a lot of things, expecially size. The bigger it is, the longer it takes I'd reckon... I'm no weather mech, but it could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few days." He sighed.
"But yer right, if the storm does come, a safe place place or onboard here might be best. Don't go underground unless ye can brerath underwater if it floods." He laughs. "Boy... that t'would be difficult t'explain to de others. I can see it now, 'The Good news is, we made it to Florida alright... da bad news is the human flooded his engine in a hurricane.' He laughed. "But I'll make sure that doesn't 'appen... even if it means tearing up a subway te find ya..." He reassured with a chuckle. "Then again I'm pretty sure the other 'bot down d'ere'd probably find ye first."

"Thanks Shipwreck. Im going to take a nap alert me when we reach Daytona" Bryan said as he drifted off to sleep in the Captains Quarters.
Meen while back at Altech HQ:
One of the men from Comunications came in to the Colonels office. "Mam we just got word from Speedway he landed in Daytona with out a scratch and he is on to something there as well. He said it was a weak Fragment Signal." the man said.
"Thankyou your dismissed" Colonel Lansing said as she waived her hand and the man left. "Well that is particularly good news But what if some one finds that fragment before Speedway dose." Lara said to herself she started looking over the reports of the other four new commers.

Shipwreck chuckled. "Aye aye lad." He said simply, before letting his mind switch over from comforting and jolly to serious and to the task at hand. His recent injeries were proving dificult to handle with, he had indeed lost a hand; which when transformed, is a section of the lower hull at the bow. A serious problem if not treated properly. His spirits dampened slightly. Once he reached Florida and dropped off his passenger, he'd have to go find better repairs before this hurricane hit or he would have serious problems.
