"Jesse. my name is Jesse", replied the teenager nervously as they went through the doors. Despite being a woman, people in a position of authority always made he feel nervous and awkward..
=====================================================
Elsewhere...
"Then good luck Flare", offered the officer showing the first milk of warmness before stiffening and saluting towards the Autobot.

" Well Jesse that is a nice name. Mine is Lara Lansing, feel free to call me Lara." the Colonel said with a smile to the teenager. Lara was trying hard not to show her worry for Brian. "I wish to ask about a young man" Lara then asked.

Flare nodded once then headed for the exit, once she reached it she transformed into her vehicle mode then drove off toward the battle coordants.

OOC: Please allow a day to arrive at the Thunderclap Battle thread.
Jesse was confused, thinking the first things she would've been asked was about the Transformers; already having forgotten about the young man who had graced the Turnbull residence before the choas.
"What young man?", asked the teenager inquisitively.

" I'm sorry if this may be off the subject of the transformers you may have seen today. But my worries are for my Human agents first." Lara said with a bit of a sad face. " Even so I must tell you that the hulking mechas you saw today there are two sides to them autobot and decepticon. My Organization is to help the autobots the good side win against the evil decepticons whome have no regard for lifes real worth." Lara added looking at Jesse as they walked down the massive corridors.

MacDill AFB
The General's staff led Lt. Col. Walker through security doors, down a staircase, and through a coded door to a dark room only with red lighting.
Several large screens were in the room, one had the 5 other joint chiefs, the director of homeland security, and 2 blank screens, presumeably for another guest. The second screen had a satellite trejectory picture, and the third had 4 seperate news stations. (One the titanic, one the battle, one the weather, and one was the military's news channel, which currently had a picture of the ongoing situation in the middle east.
"Colonel, so nice of you to join us." said he Commandant of the Marine Corps (Lt. Col Walker's father)
"General." she said, saluting and letting a small smile play at the corners of her mouth.
"General, General, Admiral, General, Director, General, Colonel." flew the formalities.
Morrison turned to Lt.Col. Walker.
"Colonel, we brought you here because we have a few situations... and you are the highest ranking Marine in the state, right now..." said Gen. Morrison.
"Sattelite's coming up now, sir." said an aid from the corner of the room.
"Put it up." said the general.
The center screen (trejectory) was replaced by the firefight in miami.
Sounds of shock came from all parties concerned, Lt.Col. Walker's eyes openned wide in shock.
General Walker remained cool though. "That's not all." he added. "Look at channel four right now." he said.
Lt. Col. Walker tried speaking...
"How is this all possible... the Titanic sunk over almost a hundred years ago... and Miami... well... I really don't know what to say about that... I mean I heard talk at the pentagon, but nothing more than water cooler discussion..." she said, in a bit of shock.
"We've sent F-16s to aid the 'good guys' in Miami, but they are getting damaged, as well as low on fuel and ammo." said General Morrison. "As far as the Titanic... that's still being looked into."
"So... what can we do?" said Lt. Col. Walker.
"You are hereby provisionally promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, with all the powers and privilages that go with." said a voice from behind General Walker. Do you accept?" he asked.
"Yes, Mr. Secretary." said now Brig.Gen Walker. she said to the Secretary of the Navy (who had now made his presence official), she also had her hand on her pocket bible to almost make it official.
She could see in her fathers eyes, that he had wanted to do this personally, but his position left little personal time when crisis occurred.
Gen. Morrison took out a box with two gold stars on it, and replaced her silver clusters with them.
"Thank you, sir." ahe said, as he handed her the box.
An aid quickly went to General Morrison, and told hi m they were still waiting for the call from Col. Lansing, Morrison nodded and the aid went back to their radio.
The same aid brought a sealed folder to Walker. "Um, as soon as we get Colonel Lansing on the horn, she'll be able to explain that more ma'am." he said, then returned to his desk.
She pulled a large black tactical knife from behind her, and cut open the folder, then replaced the knife to where it was.
A small smile played at the corners of Commandant General Walker's mouth. ~Just like her dad~, he thought.
She skimmed over the information rather quickly, getting the important parts... especially about the SABO rounds.
General Morrison turned to the screen,as soon as he thought new Gen. Walker had the information she needed.
"Alright, Gentlemen... What do we do?" asked the newly annointed General.
============================= (small back story) The earlier call to Col. Lansing was dropped, but the RADAR operator informed General Morrison, who got the joint chiefs on the line, put a call in to Col. Lansing, and went to get Lt. Col. Walker.

"So that man who was at our house earlier today...", answered Jesse, memories starting to return. She lowered her head at the mention of her house, of which was nothing more than a pile of rubble.. "That man, was he one of your human agents?" she asked

"Sadly he was.." Lara said as an ensign from the comunications room ran up out of Breath. "Maam your needed in the long distance briefing room." The young lady said to the Colonel "I take it that the rest of the government know of what is happening." Lara said to the ensign. "Thats not all mam the news says the Titanic has risen and transformed." The Ensign explained.
"Thats never good. Ok... Jesse could you come with me please this conserns you to that is if you wish to know more about the Transformers and their problems with one another.?" The Colonel said sending the Ensign to relay a message that she and the young lady would be joining the group soon.

"They destroyed my home and hurt my mom", replied Jesse just as solemly as the Colonel spoke, "Just try and stop me!
The teenager continued to walk with the Colonel, not really sure where she was going, "I still don't understand what your agent was doing at our house though?", continued Jesse on her train of thought, "He said something about a project.. One he'd lost I think.. I can't really remember after everything that happened..."

Lara smiled at the girls Bravado hearing her say try and stop me. Then listened as she mentioned how Bryan got as close to the frament as possible. "Well i guess i will fill in a few holes then Jesse. What we at Altech are looking for are metal fragments from a cube the Autobot side of the Transformers called the All-spark some overwelming item of life from their planet. The reason he said lost was that it was first tracked to the beach and started moving from their to your home. And im truely sorry for your home the Decepticon side dosnt really care what they destroy as long as they get the fragments and become stronger." Lara Explained.

"The fragment!", Jesse responded in an almost excited tone, "I found one on the beach. I was going to keep it for my collection. I collect all sorts of things washed up from the sea, shells as well. But I threw it at one of those Transformers, a metal panther.. I think he was a Decepticon, not very nice. Anyway he left with it, but I had no idea what it was..."

"To the Decepticons our lives are nothing you got off lucky only because Ravage only wanted the Fragment. But To the Autobots our lives are important." Lara explained as she stopped at a door that clearly had the words "Long Distance Comunications" "This is us Jesse" Lara said pressing the button next to the door to open it.

"Ravage?", enquired the girl, "A fitting name.." She gasped slightly as the door slid upwards, not knowing what to expect. "Long distance? Who are they going to contact? Mars?", thought Jesse.

"Mam the screen is up and ready for contact with the general and the secretary." Said an ensign to the right of the door as Lara walked in. "Very good Ensign you may leave now." Lara said with a smile. "And the girl mam?" The ensign asked. "She stays with me i promised her mother and i feel she must know she has seen to much already not to tell her." Lara said as the ensign nodded to her and left the two to the room. There was a large table set up with monitors all around it. Each monitor represented someone at the meeting. "I'm Terribly sorry Secretary for keep you all waiting like this There have been some unseen complications with the Decepticons on my end and it seems the complications have escalated a bit." Lara spoke up so the speaker would pick up her voice. "go ahead Jesse sit down the video feed will pick us both up." Lara exclaimed as she waved to the chair infront of the table. "I will grab another one." Lara added.
In the center of the large table was a holographic projection of 3 channels. Coverage of the Battle in Florida, Coverage of the Rise of the Titanic the only information that The Colonel hadnt recieved yet, and the Satalite Imagry of the scene going on in Florida that is updated every 60 seconds.

Jesse nervously sat down in one of the chairs, still not quite sure what they wanted with her. Sure she had seen the Transformers, up close and personal, too close, but what was watching this battle going to do? What could she do? Worried that it might bring up bad memories of earlier, she had a bad feeling about this...
