Meanwhile, Major Douglas Winters had a long journey, despite the fact that Dragonfly was going as fast as he can. But he sensed he was almost near the area. He then decided to call the Colonel on his progress, picking up a radio from Dragonfly's stereo, getting on Colonel Lansing's frequency and saying 'Colonel Lansing, come in. This is Major Winters. Me and Dragonfly are quite nearly there. ETA, about 5 minutes'!

"Very Good Major" Lansing said on another com console. "God Speed be with you Major and be carefull You will be acompanied by a Sargent Major Chadwick's group. They got to the scene after the ship made haste from the hot zone. I asked him to take some of his best with him and join you on the mission." Lansing added as she was now tied to the seat between the two consoles.

Major Winters replied with 'Roger that. Out'.
5 Minutes later
Soon, Major Douglas Winters was approaching the area but there were a lot of Army jeeps around. Gosh, the damage must have been serious, though Winters. Then as he approached the jeeps, a Army soldier approached him and said through the window 'Sorry, this is a restricted area. Go back'. Major Douglas Winters then opened the window and said 'Major Douglas Winters, United States Air Force'. He even turned around to show him his clean officer's uniform and pulled out a ID card at the Soldier.
(Yes I'll be moving to the Discovery Thread soon)

The Marine Convoy, continues to rill on.
"Blue leader to Rose, Over." radioed the Flight lead of the Helicopters.
"Rose here, Over." responded the Lt. Col.
"We are safe and sound in Tampa, Over." said the lead.
"Good, get some chow... maybe some sleep... we're still a few hours away, Over."
"Roger that on the grub and zees, Over and out." said the flight leader.
She then switched to talk to Maj. Pollard.
"Rose to Mick." she said.
"Mick here, Over." he responded.
"How are the gauges... We'll be in Tala soon, Over." she said.
"Guages red... probably just enough to get us there." responded the Major.
"Roger that... Tala is..." The convoy passes a sign, Tallahassee: 20 miles. "About a half hour away, over." she said.
There was a pause.
"Alright... my numbers say we should make it... if we're careful... Over" He said, sounding a little worried... Nothing is worse than when a Marine convoy has to call Triple-A...
There was a pause, then the Lt. Col. spoke.
"Have the drivers move a little closer to gether, and be mindful of the brakes, Over." she said.
Another pause.
"Roger thet Rose, Over and out." he rsponded.
~Lets hope we make it...~ she thought to herself.
In all her experience, she'd never had to run a convoy until there were nothing but fumes in the gas tanks... this was not pleasant for her....
---------------
About 40 mins, and a few close calls later, they finally were able to make it to the designated truck stop...
The convoy parked, and Lt. Col. Walker, and Major Pollard got out.
The heat of Florida, was more like Louisiana than Texas, more humid, and just as uncomfortable..
Despite the recommendations from her driver, she took off most of her gear, save her Utility uniform, sidearm, a small pack, a radio, and her sunglasses.
"Major... Instruct everyone to take off their heavy gear... we're gonna be here for about two hours... The troops might as well try to cool off... it's been a long drive..." she said to Major Pollard. "I'm going to speak with the manager again about our situation." he added then headed off towards the building.
"Yes, ma'am." he said, then turned to the trucks.
He went and told each group, that they could strip their gear, and cool off... sort of a shore-leave type thing. They did so, and started eating some of their own rations.
On her way to the station building, Lt. Col. Walker noticed three fuel rigs (all diesel) and three food and beverage trucks.
"Well, at least they were expecting us." she said to herself.
She stepped into the building.

Jesse and her mom had been quiet all the way in, they sat in the back of the jeep with Jean lying down, her head wresting on Jesse's lap but still very much in shock of the events that had happened in their neighbourhood. And yet Jesse still couldn't help but wonder as they traveled down the freeway, about the metallic fragment she had found and ultimately thrown at the creature.
"The metallic robot panther...", thought Jesse quietly to herself. She still couldn't believe it, and wouldn't have if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. But these things, these huge robotic creatures, were actually alive and real! "And destroyed our home...", she thought and scowled as a black cloud of anger and rage came over her. They were real all right, but she wish they wasn't, although she was scared she was extremely pissed and hoped someone, somewhere would do something.
Much later as they came nearer, Private Williams unhooked the radio as Holly kept her eyes on the road and tried to get a hold of someone at the Altech Organisation.
+++Radio Comms+++ This is Private Simon Williams of the United States Army requesting directions for a direct access point for myself Sergeant Dunbar and 2 injured civilians. Over. +++Radio Comms+++

Dunbar and Williams drove down the slope towards the underground car park and parked sharply,, sure enough their were more than enough medics on hand. As they helped Jean and Jesse out, Jean struggling with her twisted ankle, the two US Army soldiers followed keeping guard at all times as they entered the building and continued towards the medical section.
With direct contact to the "Transformers", they were valuable commodities now, back in the old days of Sector 7 they would've just been tagged and bagged and subject to arrest for interrogation. Dunbar was glasd those days were over.

Back in Tallahassee:
Lt. Col. Walker pulled out her Military ID, as she approached the couner.
"I'm Lieutenent Colonel Walker, United States Marine Corps.... Is the manager here?" she asked the clerk.
The clerk was momentarily awestruck, that she was a marine. "One moment, please ma'am." he said, leaving the counter, and heading to a back room.
Col. Walker looked outside at the marines, stretching, and moving around after the long ride.

Deep inside the Altech Organisation, medics were tending to Jean's ankle as Jesse looked on, sooner or later they would come for the teenage and ask questions, lots of questions about the big robots.... Jesse blocked the thought and tried to shut it out of her mind, right now that wasn't important, her mom was.
"Is she going to be okay?" asked Jesse.
"She'll be fine", replied the medic smiling a soothing smile at her, she must of only been 6 - 8 years older, "We'll have to keep her in for a while but we'll take good care of her, and you."
====================================================
Somewhere else in the Altech Organisation...
+++Radio Comm++ This is Sergeant Samuel Walker of the United States Army to Conoel Lansing, please respond..."

++Private Channel to the Autobot Ship ORION from Altech "Orion Come in this is Colonel Lara Lansing what is the status of Optimus Prime?" Said Lansing through the private Channel ++
Lara was headed for the medical wing of the florida base now that she got there with no time to spare as she took her own private copter to the base. She had a portable communications device she had the research and development section of the organization devise when she first started as the head. The officers in the hallways stood at a sharp salute as she walked by. She reached the doors to the Medical bay and two soldiers stood on either side. They both gave sharp salutes. "At ease boys I'm going in now let no one else come in got it." She said sturnly.
"Yes mam" both men said.
Lara entered the med room to see the medical officers with the mother and the daughter. She waited for word from the Orion so she looked over some info on the status of her This isn't good there seems to be still no word from Bryan and Speedway now. I hope i hear from Optimus soon. I'm beginning to worry even more about Bryan.

A pair of blue optics with red flecks came online, and she sat up her hand going to her head as her head started to pound, she looked around and she realzed that she was in some sort of base. She tried to remember what had happend but it was kind of fuzzy and it only made her head hurt worse. "Where am I and what happened?" She asked herself quietly.

*Fast forward Marine Convoy story* Refuelled, then radioed to meet at a local airport as MacDill AFB sent several C-17s to hurry along the convoy.
The sub Commander of MacDill AFB was on one of the C-17s sent to retrieve the Marines from Tallahassee.
In the Hold of the lead C-17, Lt. Col. Walker climbed up into the cabin.
"Now, who do ah have tah thank for the lift?" asked Lt. COl. Walker, with just a sprinkling of her southern charm.
The Captain in the co-pilot seat smiled, then turned his head toward her. "Well, thet's be General Walker via General Morrison." He said, pausing "Ma'am...
"Well... I'll have to send Mrs. Morrison a thank you card." she said.
*flight almost to Tampa, and MacDill AFB*
Meanwhile, NORAD.
Floridian RADAR operator. Thomson had been going over tapes, ~This doesn't make sense... why so much movement.~ he thought.
He picked up a phone.
"Yes, get me Air Force Colonel Lansing please... it's urgent." he said a glint of light flickered over an A pin on his collar.

Flare had woken up in a fairly desolate looking room full of bio-beds and medicine cabinets, on one of the other beds a middle-aged women was being looked after her teenage daughter, very wary that there was another one of those "transformers" in the room with them with what had recently happened to their home...
