As soon as Onix stepped on to the circle, a signal was sent to the control hub that had teleported Latyrx7 and the Renegade. One of the technicians received the signal and brought it to the attention of Latyrx7. Latyrx7 told the technician to contact Omnitron to deal with it. Omnitron, who had stayed behind in the docking bay to sort of more troops, received the message and understood. He looked in the direction of the Onix and transformed to drive over to where the Renegade was. He arrived, reverted back to robot mode as he stepped on to the circle. 'Problem with your transformation cog Onix? Or do you feel your just too good to follow a simple order?' Asked Omnitron. ******** 'Right. I'm not one who likes to waste time, so lets begin.' Began Latyrx7. 'The Autobot council doesn't see the point to the Renegades, being were at peace. However, their are things that are in motion that a lot of Cybertronians don't know about that threaten Cybertron. Its our job to keep them from knowing and to eliminate that threat. Hyper vigilance is the name of the game.'Latyrx7 began to tap away at the tablet. 'Two solar cycles ago, Autobot command lost contact with an agent of theirs. An Autobot who's name was Crosscut. He was a spy inside a corperation called the Atlas Agency located in Omega City. They believe he was killed by the ones he was watching.'From the tablet Latyrx7 was holding came a holographic image of the tablet's screen. Before the Renegades were the bios of the robots that agent Crosscut was spying on. (ooc: These bios are now posted in the character thread here

Deadbolt looked at the holographic image carefully.
"I don't like the look of them. Got bad news written all over them. Sound like the kind of bots I was sent to 'deal with', before the Autobots stopped sending me on missions" He said with a hint of anger.
Roadtrain took notice of Tomboy and looked at her.
"What is it?" He said in a hushed tone.

Onix shook his head at Omnitron
"Neither actually. Alt-mode is built for torque, not speed. Loud, powerful, but not quick by any stretch of the imagination. Show me an almost vertical slope or a pile of rubble I will see you at the top while the rest of you hoof it, but I figured, either way, I'm last to the party when driving in normal circumstances."
Seems appeared in Onix's face plate and it slid back and away revealing his whole face.
"It won't happen again though. Can't have you and Roadtrain beating me everywhere we go."
he smirked

Something the average individual might not have expected to see, before Omnitron said anything, he started laughing. He laughed so hard his head bent back and looked upwards. The suddenly, Omnitron was face to face with Onix, expression mad and his was tone deadly. 'Get that slag eating smirk off your face! Ain't a damn thing funny especially when some no it all loner thinks he can slag off any order given to him by a superior just because he thinks it doesn't apply to him! And the next vertical slope or a pile of rubble that I come across I have you hoofing it in your robot mode, on your knees when I order you to! You will transform when given the order to transform! Don't insult my intelligence trying to tell me how fast your vehicle mode is! And if you think you can smirk behind that faceplate for another astro-second, I'll take it off your face and have it blow-torched it to your rear axle, PERMANENTLY!!'
As Omnitron said the last word of his sentence, he hit a control button on his wrist and the two were teleported into the command hub with the rest of the Renegades.
As Omnitron and Onix appeared, they cut off what Tomboy wanted to show Roadtrain. She simply said 'Nothing important.' and refocused back to what Latyrx7 was talking about.
Latyrx7 then held up a small and slight burnt looking metal object. It was small, blue and black and about half as big as his hand. 'This is what got Crosscut killed. Its a heavy shielded data block. It contains information on some of the Atlas corporation dealings, recorded by Crosscut. The Atlas Agency has been buying up business across Cybertron. Why is this a concern of the Autobots? They have been doing so for incredible inexpensive amounts of universal credits. Still hardly illegal, however many of the business that have been bought have also had their employees disappear mysteriously. Anyone who has gone missing haven't been heard from and their bodies haven't turned up. We believe Atlas and his cooperation have taken the expression hostile takeout rather seriously.'

"Either that or someone told them about 'agressive negotiations', and how they are done with a blaster, not words." Deadbolt muttered.
He was rather unsettled by what he'd just heard, though he wasn't showing it. From what Latyrx7 had just said, these were the kind of beings that he'd been sent to eliminate before in the past.
Roadtrain narrowed his optics at Tomboy. Something was up, but he didn't know what. He looked up at Latyrx7.
"What's the plan of action, Sir?"

Hardstrike didn't like these criminals one little bit, they looked as mean as they sounded.
"Don't fret it Deadbolt", muttered Driveby, "Everyone has their price, Everyone has their weaknesses... So have there been any sightings of these lot? If so when and where were they last seen?"

'Atlas is incredibly private. He's hard to find but we have learn that he enjoys the social circles of the rich and famous. As for his crew, almost just as hard except for one.'The bio of the one known as Stinger grew a little bigger. 'Stinger is sloppy at times and over confident. He likes to gamble and make as much credits for himself on the side. he has been spotted across Cybertron's black markets, but mostly here...'The hologram changed to reveal two different locations. ... in Boltarmar city. And out of all the high class locations across Cybertorn, Atlas has made his favorite with the Skytoucher Palace. I'll be dividing the team into two groups. Incendius, Roadtrain, Tomboy, Driveby and Onix will head to the Boltarmar black markets to find and capture Stinger. Bring him in alive. Hardstrike, Incognito,Hypershot, Deadbolt and Metalingus will inflitrate the Skytoucher Palace to keep an optic on Atlas. If we can make a move on Atlas, it'll be on you to bring him in but don't worry, we'll have back-up ready of it comes to that. Deadbolt and Metalingus, we'll have to do something the weapons that are exposed on your body. Either detach them for now or Hoist will equip you with holographic units to cover them up. If were lucky, Stinger will lead us to enough information to legally grab Atlas, but more importantly, to also convict him with something solid then his fate can be decided by the Autobot council. Computic, you'll act as communication between the teams and home base, on your own high above Cybertron. Any questions before I send all of you off to Hoist's workshop to get suited up?

Onix raised his hand but spoke out without being acknowledged.
"Any level of discretion you want us to use?"

'In the black markets, their is a certain element of hostile individuals. Its definitely the rough part of town. When you go to collect Stinger, make it as quick and quit as possible without agitating the locals. I don't urge anyone venturing to Boltarmar in covering up any of their outer hardware or weapons as you'll more then likely blend in with the rest of the crowd.' Latyrx7 looked around to see if anyone else had a question.

Metalingus raised his hand and Latryx7 nodded towards him to speak "Whose leading each team in the field Sir?"

"I also have a question, Sir." Roadtrain said. "What condition do you want Stinger brought back in. 'Alive' is a very broad term."
Roadtrain had taken an almost instant dislike to Stinger. He'd seen plenty of bots like him in his time. And he knew exactly how to deal with them.
Deadbolt remained quite. It was almost mission time, that was when he was at his most serious. He imagining a few different scenarios in his head. He somehow didn't think Atlas would come quietly.
"No questions here, Sir. I don't feel comfortable going in there without a weapon, so I guess I'll be seeing Hoist to get mine covered up."

Hypershot was on edge with excitement. He and the others had only arrived today and already they were being assigned a mission. He was already enjoing being a Renegade.
"Hey. I got a question. With this Atlas guy, when exactly should we make our move. Any kind of signal or something or do we just escort him out?"

'Your ranks will determine who's leading each team. As for Stinger and the condition he's brought in, we need him function and conscience. If you have to break off his arms and legs so be it, but under no circumstances do I want him dead. He's our only lead at this time and I have a feeling that under pressure we can break him and make him talk.
Latyrx7 then turned to address Deadbolt. 'By no means do I mean for your team to walk in unarmed. My full use of your weapon compartments on your body. I'm sure Hoist can fix you up with something as well. (ooc: see OOC thread for info on weapons)
'And your Hypershot, correct? Good question. Your team is to only maintain a watch on Atlas until the other team collects Stinger. Once Stinger is brought in, then you make your move. And you'll have back-up, Atlas is a tough nut all by himself but as you can see, his bodyguard Neuroblade is a deadly foe. You'll recieve a communication on what to do. Also, it's important that Atlas stays where he is. Or at least if he leaves the Skytoucher Palace, you learn where he's going or follow him. But don't break cover. If he discovers that the Autobots are still following him, even after Crosscut's death, then I doubt we'll find him again. A room for your team has been registered and you can hold up in there if needed. Atlas is to be taken in alive as well. This mission might not be all guns blazing, but its a delicate one.'

Latryx7 had answered Metalingus question how he thought he would. Putting two and two together that would mean Hardstrike would be leading the team he was on. He was glad Hardstrike and Icongnito were on his team, it had been a little while since he had a chance to speak to his comrades. The other bots in his group he didn't know much about but he was sure he would gell with easily enough.
All that was left to do was to head to Hoist's to concel his weapons.

Onix raised his hand one last time
"So......when do we begin?"
