Shipwreck laughed, a loud, hearty laugh at Lara's words. They really inspired him, and he was very proud of his height and size.
"HAHAHA! I can be quite too, ma'mm. It'll be more like...*he pauses for a while* getting hit by lightning." He laughed, optic band bright blue in amusement. "And you'll figure out a way ta deal with the gourv'n'ment.... as well as a plan to get 'em loose... a few Decepticons are no match for a lot of Autobots!" He chuckled merrily.
His laughter stopped after a while, and his face turned very grave. He pushed his shins off the sinking rocks and started pacing. Out to sea, back to Tanda, back to the horizon, back to the rock. He sighed, ending up more like a loud, angry huff.
"Well what do we do? We can't sit around an' do nott'n'!" He growled, continuing his pacing. The water splashed noisily as he trudged threw the fast moving current. "This 'urricane is comin' fast and we can't just lean 'em 'ere! They'll be sittin' ducks if they're lost!" He grumbled into his commlink, water swirling and splashing, making lots of swirrling bubbles and foam in his wake.

Just try not to spookem to baddly when you speak in vehicle mode ok." The Communications Officer Donut

Shipwreck froze in his pacing, a look of puzzlement spreading across his face. "More the one passenger?" He paused, thinking of this for a while. This somewhat complicated things. If people were scared of him, which he didn't actually mind all that much, but on board and during a hurricane?! He sighed. This complicated things when the time would come for flooding and other emergences. Atleast there was shelter being organized, but if they were trapped, or even worse... the Decepticons got to them, they'd be toast! A look of worry creased slightly over his face, but it snapped back to the main point. More passengers.
Puzzled, he threw a handful of questions over comm. "Who are they? Why? What are they doing? I thought there was only Bryan... and Speedway!?" He continued his pacing.

Major Winters then said 'Yes Colonel'. He then began to follow her.
Meanwhile, with Shipwreck....
Tanda then heard the order and then said 'Alright, Shipwreck, you heard the Colonel. Get to the docks. I'm enroute to Speedtrap's position'. She then jumped into the air and transformed. She then went the highest speed she could get from her KC-10 form. She then tried in vain, to actually get a fix on Speedtrap's position as the landmass that she was in was too big. But little did she realise that she was actually nearing Speedtrap on the highway. But the highway was still quite some distance away so it'd be quite a long time until she reached there.

Shipwreck nodded, more to him himself. "Aye aye!" He shouted into his comm before turning it off and wving to Tanda. Smiling as he watched her leave for a few minutes, he huffed and worked his way towards the docks, his footsepts making large puffs of sand behind him, clouding the water. The sea foamed and swirled behind him as he splashed threw the water. His optic band was dark, and he trudged his way over to the docks, where he would be hopefully arriving soon... with Speedtrap there.

NAS Pensacola. ==========================
The waiting was the worst... they better start moving though, the impact point of the Hurricane was to the south of them, much to the south of them.
*Runner, salutes*
"Ma'am, com from MacDill Air Force Base. They said they're ready for our arrival for refuel." said the runner.
"Good, tell them we'll be there, ASAP." responded Lt. Col Walker.
"Yes, ma'am"
*Salutes, runs back*
The Major returned. "All ready to go, ma'am. We've got four CH-53 Super Stallions and eight Whiskey Cobras and they are loaded up, awaiting orders." he said.
"Good, tell them to take off, MacDill Air Force Base is on standby for our arrival." said the Lt. Col.
"Yes, Ma'am." responded the Major, turning then running towards the landing pads, where the 'stallions' were being prepped.
She reached into a pocket, and pulled out a whistle, then sounded it. "Thank you." she said, to the Sargeant who handed her a bullhorn.
"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP PEOPLE." she said, amplified by the device. "WE NEED TO GET MOVING, ASAP. WE'RE HEADED TO MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, WHERE WE WILL BE REFUELLED AND CONTINUE ON TOWARD THE IMPENDING DISASTER ZONE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO GET IN CONVOY TO LEAVE THE BASE. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, MOVE OUT."
She handed the bullhorn back to the Sargeant who put it back in the humvee, they got in and headed towards the gate. There was a scurry of movement as the truck were being loaded with troops and started. The major returned, and got into a seperate humvee. The stallions snd cobras took off, and headed towards their destination.
Within three minutes the line had formed, ready to go. The Gunnery Sargeant stepped out of the booth, after getting off the phone with the office.
"Going for a stroll, I see." he said to the Lt. Col.
"Don't worry, we'll be back Gunny." she said.
"Office says you'll have a Highway patrol escort, once you hit the highway." he said.
"Good... as long as they don't hinder our movement." she replied.
"They said they shut down a portion of it, for ya'll... I hope it works out". said the Gunny
The Gunny gestured and two Corporals openned the gates for exit.
"Semper fi, Ma'am." said the Gunny, saluting.
"Hoo-Rah." she responded, with a salute.
The convoy started out of the gate, towards the highway.
~Let's hope they have enough fuel at Macdill.~ she thought to herself.
"This is Major Pollard, Lieutenant Colonel Walker, over." came the major's voice from the radio.
"This is Walker, go ahead." she replied, picking up the mic.
"Anything that us rear guard should be aware of, ma'am. Over." he said.
"We're getting state LEO escort when we hit the highway, and watch your fuel gauges. Over." she said.
"Roger that bear escort and watch the go-go juice. Over and out." said the Major.
The remark made her smile a bit, probably the high point of her day...
The convoy continued on towards the highway on-ramp.

Comm Officer Donut got the message "Thanks Shipwreck i will get this to the Colonel ASAP" He said as he had a flash print up and ready and sent it with another officer heading to the Briefing Room.
At The Briefing Room:
"Major I want you to accompany my Team of Autobots not only to gain some experiance but to Learn that there is a big difference between them and the Decepticons." Colonel Lansing said to Major Winters. She knew time was of the essince as she stood outside the door to the Room. One of the Communications crew handed her the message that Donut had printed up. "Ah Crap.. Major the situation is now worse. Bryan was taken Captive we need to hurry now." Lara said pushing the button to open the door. The large door opened and she walked through with out stoping. She really wanted to get the team going and now. Her new recruits didnt even see this comming at all.

But how on earth do I get there? I hope you have a Humvee for me when we go out'. He then stopped to think and said 'Excuse me Colonel but do you have an arms room? I would like something better than a pistol because I hardly believe these things can be stopped with a pistol'. He really wanted to ask who Bryan was actually but he gathered that he was part of the Altech, so he didn't bother asking. (Right, now I need to wait for a post where Dragonfly is introduced so I can continue with him. I don't want to start a bit with him in it because the way I would introduce him would not please Hoist)

Lara stopped just inside. "The Arms Room is Down the Hall its the Door with a Bullet Symbol on it. And yes your right about the Cybertronians. Bryan only had a side arm on him so that he would have some assemblence of Protection on him instead of just his Driving Skills. I sugest something with High Heat Sable rounds." Lansing said as she pointed the way down the hall. As she thought about the first encounter all the gunships were fitted with sable rounds for any other encounters with the cons. "And don't worry about your ride you will be with one that can fly. Now Hurry up and get what you need the meeting is in 5 and you leave right after the meeting with them." Lara added as she then went in to the room. She pushed a button on a pannel near the door and spoke. I want the Special Forces Group Assembled in the Breifing room ASAP I Repeat Special Forces Group Assemble in the Breifing room ASAP." Lara spoke through the Overhead speaker comm. If she wanted to save her agent and Speedway she was going to haft to rush everyone to get ready and go as soon as possible.

Winters began walking down to the Firearms room then found it. He put his hand on a scanner, identifying him as Major Douglas Winters. Then as the door opened, Winters saw to his surprise that there was a huge amount of firearms. He began to look for a certain type of firearm that he'd like to take. Winters then caught his eye on a M4 Carbine with a M320 Grenade Launcher fitted onto it. That would be perfect to fit High Heat Sabot Rounds onto. He then began putting his finger print on a scanner on a lock for the weapon, which then unlocked. He then began to load up with 5.56mm NATO rounds for the Carbine, then he got himself a belt full of Sabot Grenades, Grenades with high heat Sabot rounds in them and that were able to fire from the M320.

Convoy: Highway =========
The convoy was making good time... obviously not as good as the helicopters, they were probably halfway there by now.
They had limited time, so they squeezed about 80mph out of the trucks, once they hit the highway.
As promised, the Highway Patrol was there to escort them, and had managed close down the needed travel lanes.
Lt. Col. Walker picked up the radio, and switched the station, to get info from the choppers.
"Rose to Blue leader, what is your status. Over." she said, then waited for a response.
Several seconds later, it came.
"This is Blue leader, we're making good time. We are passing by Saint Vincent, now. Over."
She pulled up the map on the Humvee's computer.
~They're just over a third of the way there... good... but they do have an advantage...~ she thought.
"Good work, keep course and heading to Dill, we'll meet you there. Over." She said.
"Roger wilco, ma'am... Blue leader over and out." came the response.
She switched back the channel.
"Rose to Mick. Over." She said.
"Mick, here. Over." responded Major Pollard.
"The Choppers passed Saint Vincent, kepping to Dill. Over." she said.
Several seconds went passed, as The Major now pulled up a map.
"Roger that, Mick out." responded the Major.
Lt. Col. Walker then put the mic down.
~I hope we can make it in time.~ she thought.
The convoy rolled on past the exit for Fort Walton Beach.

(well I've decided to introduce Dragonfly now, if anyone's alright with that. If it is not, you can go ahead to delete it)
Dragonfly was confused. He had chosen an alternate form from the computers, then he waited for a while in the corridors and then the Colonel had called for the Special Forces Group to the briefing room. He then decided to go to the briefing and see what he could do.

Lara stood at one end of the Breifing room. She noticed Dragonfly show up at the open door. "Dragonfly you look troubled. I have a job for you today. It seems that Speedway and new agent Bryan Rivers have gotten themselves caught up with the Cons in Florida. I want you to take Major Winters with you and the Spec Team to get them and the All spark fragment back." Lara said to Dragonfly when he showed up at the doors.

Dragonfly looked down to the Colonel. Who was Major Winters anyway? But that didn't matter. He had to do his duty so he said 'of course Colonel. But shall we do the briefing first before we move out'? Then Dragonfly saw a man in uniform. He had a gun with him, not just those sidearms but one of those "rifles" that human armies carried with them. This must have been Major Winters
Major Winters looked at Dragonfly with disbelief as he came back to the Briefing room. He then said to the Colonel 'Maam, I'm fully loaded'. He then continued to look at Dragonfly with disbelief because he hadn't seen anything this big. Dragonfly then said 'hmmm, you must be Major Winters'. The Major then said back 'Yes I am Major Douglas Winters, United States Air Force'.
