"Make it so", ordered Triton.
Slowly the Triad descended like a dark shadow not too far away from the beam. The inertia jets vented as the ship slowly reached the planets surface, gently thrusting as it maneuvered round. After the ship landed, Triton rose again and paced towards the view-screen where the beam was being shown via a live feed. After a few moments he turned to face the others
"Yes Rage, but I want a more closer reading from the beam first, before we use the ship to take samples. If it's like something back on Cybertron I need to know it's safe enough to re-energise the sparks of our fallen warriors", continued the leader as he motioned a hand to the five statue-esq Destrons on one side of the ship - still in stasis, "It's vital we get them restored first so we can also scout the neighbouring planet. Get out there and get that reading! Take Quickchange and... you better take Scathe with you", sighed Triton, "Just in case"
"Scathe love mission! Scathe bust anyone who tries to creep up on us!!!", replied the Destron excitedly as he broke into a jig on the spot again.
Triton sighed again, "Gorgon, stay here and monitor things we me. Get going Rage!" The fearless leader half-turned and hit a switch on a nearby console..
+++ COMMS +++
Triton to Rampart. Get up here immediately!

Gorgon let out another low rumble. He wasn't pleased that he had to stay on the ship. But orders were orders. And one didn't disobey Triton. Gorgon continued to monitor the console infront of him. We wanted to make the landing as smooth as possible. Gorgon looked up at the five Destrons who were in stasis.
"Boss-bot....Who they anyway?"

"Alright, Quickchange, Scathe, lets go we'll have to get that sample. Scathe, I'm gonna need you to be on alert."
Rage came off the ship with both Quickchange and Scathe.
Rage opened up his com-link to the ship.
"Triton, I'm headed toward the beam, Scathe is in battle mode incase of an "emergency", Quickchange is following me for assistance."
Rage drew a flourecent-colored object protruding from his arm.
"I'm taking samples now"
"I'm getting info on the energy, it's definately safe to reactivate the fallen."
Rage suddenly heard a small sound coming from maybe a few miles away.
"We need to get outta here"

Scathe transformed back from his battle mode, returning back to his robot mode and began jumping up and down excitedly.
"Scathe check it out! Scathe crush all who sneak up on mighty Destrons!!"
"No!", Quickchange replied in his raspy voice, "You and Rage return to the ship, I shall check this out.." and within a few clicks the bot whipped out his blaster and began checking out the lifeless rocky area in the distance from the Energy beam.
"Return to the ship, Quickchange can check out any disturbance!", ordered Triton, "They my dear Gorgon, are an elite Cybertronian ground team, I trust when they are back online you will show them your full Destron hospitality and loyalty!"

Gorgon nodded in response to Triton. He eyed the stasis-bound Destrons.
"Me Gorgon think they look too puny to be 'elite'. But if Boss-bot say they elite, me Gorgon believe you."
Gorgon had once thought the same about Triton. But that changed once Gorgon had been put in his place.
Gorgon fidgeted. He wanted to get off the ship. He wanted some open spaces. He wanted room to move freely, not to be stuck inside the cramped ship.

"Alright we better get back to the ship"
Rage and his counter-part headed back towards the back of the ship to get back on.
"I do think that this trip has it's possibilities, if we build an empire we can rule this planet and use this power to get rid of those maximals back on cybertron!"
Rage was back back by Scathe on the loading platform rising towards the cargo bay.
++COM-LINK++
"Triton we're headed back to the ship, orders?"

"Just get up here and help me move the five inactive Destrons of the ship near the energy beam outside", growled Triton. "You too Gorgon, pick one and get ready to transport them outside.
Quickchange, anything to report?"
Quickchange had run across the surface of the lunar moon and dived near a low rocky dune, turning himself over - with his back to the dune, he reported in. "Just one nanoclick!", replied the agent, and whipped out his electron sword, but kept it in neutral.
"On three Quickchange", he thought to himself as he turned to face the dune surface, "one, two, THREE!"] The Destron leaped up, using his foot to get a strong foot-hold and propel himself up to the top and switching on his electron sword as he did. Reaching the top of the dune, his electron sword whirred round and round as he pointed it downward expecting a foe, but, there was only silence and nothing. Nothing but lunar craters.
"Raaargh! There's nothing here Commander!", reported the Destron, very disatisfied. "Must just be the solar wind!"
"Very well, get back to the energy beam and await us there."
"Understood commander!", replied Quickchage and turned as he began to head back to the reason of their stay..

Rage Heard The Orders And Headed To The Inactive Destrons.
"I better get these Destrons to that energy beam"
As he started to get them off the rack, he held them over his back army style and transformed into his quick mode and his lower-half of his body began to change and before you knew it, he had wheels replaced instead of feet. Soon after he changed, he sped off the ship and to the beam.
"One down, four more to go"

Gorgon nodded at Triton's orders. He moved over to the inactive Destrons. He visually inspected the four left after Rage sped off. Gorgon picked one of them up with the dexterity and gentleness unexpected of such a large being. He lifted the stasis-bound Destron and gently slung him over his shoulder. Gorgon moved off the bridge, ready to take the stasis-bound Destron to the surface.

Scathe arrived on the bridge, shortly followed by Rampart.
"You took your time!", scorned the mighty Destron leader.
"Forgive me commander! I - I was just checking the inventory!"
"I'm not interested in your excuses! Pick one of the stasis-locked Destrons and take him to the energy beam with the others!"
Rampart went over to to the rack and picked out the lighter form of the Destron, throttle, leaving only Spoiler behind. Slinging him over his shoulder, Rampart left with the Destron muttering something about wasting resources.
"What Scathe do, Scathe carry last Destron!", replied the Destron excitedly.
"No, I shall handle that task! Jettison the fuel tubes from the cargo bay then head outside and begin connecting them to our fallen comrades!" ordered the commander.
Scathe saluted and ran off in a hurry. Alone on the bridge, Triton picked up Spoiler and carried him under one arm yielding enormous strength as he headed to the landing bay..

Rage finished his task by setting down the Destron and waiting by Gorgon and the others.
"I guess we just wait"
Rage figured that Triton had grabbed the last one.
"I don't know why we need these Destrons in the first place but if Triton says we do, I guess we do"
Rage was always suspicious in situations like these but he usually tried to avoid them because sometimes the suspicions would turn on him.

Down the boarding ramp, Rampart emerged with Throttle over his shoulder; followed by Triton carrying Spoiler and an empty handed Scathe. From a panel underneath the warship, a plate of armor slid back as three fuel tubes were deployed underneath the ship. As soon as they were clear of the ramp, Scathe broke off from behind and ventured round the ship towards the tubes and began gathering them up and disconnecting them from the ship. Rampart placed Throttle in the line up, as did Triton with Spoiler forming a perfect line by the energy beam.
Scathe came stomping over with the long fuel tubes, "Commander, commander!", called the bot, "There are only three fuel tubes and five Destrons!"
"Idiot! Then we shall just have to activate three first and the last two after won't we! Begin connecting the Tubes to the first three Destrons!", ordered Triton, "You better be right about this energy Rage! If these Destrons can't take the pure energy - I'm holding you personally responsible!"
Scathe undid panels in the Destron's backs and jammed the tubes up against an access port, built the holes were too small - and the hoses too big! Scathe kept jamming them up against the access ports before speaking up, "Tubes too big!! Tubes too big!!"
Triton sighed, "Do I have to do everything myself?!"
"Allow me!", Quickchange interjected and ran off back towards the ship. When he returned his arms were full of converters* and adjustment clamps. Slowly, one by one, he fitted the tubes to the converters* the tubes and attached the other end against the side of a thick metallic ring that ran around the edge of the crater and the energy beam, being careful not to get too close. Wit great care, Quickchange attached the converters* to the backs of the three Destrons. "All ready, my master.."
"Then... let us begin!", ordered the commander.
Quickchange pressed a button on the back of the three converters* plugged into the back of the Destrons sending energy signal down the tubes towards the magnetic claps that opened a valve at the end attached to the metallic ring around the energy beam and began withdrawing the energy. The energy beam neither diminished or flickered as it continued beaming out into space uninterrupted, and down towards the tubes towards the first three new Destrons - Duel, Roadranger and Longrange...

The energy from the strange beam, on the planet traveled down the three tubes towards the three Destrons,. coursing it's way through system valves and mechanism towards there in-built fusion generators.. Slowly one by one they began to feel their systems come online again as they rebooted and began processing a systems analysis, an overhaul of their entire systems as they awoke. Their optics began to glow lowly as they awakened, as they waited for their system analysis, they began to feel the energy working it's way through them and began to move, but very slowly at first as they began to power up. "Duel lives again!""And about time!", chipped in Roadranger, "Hey look, we're on a moon! But where in the slag are we anyway?!""You should be more worried about this team of slimy reprobates we seem to be stuck with", commented Longrange, "Good to see you again Triton, I guess the mighty Magmatron met an untimely end. I see you've brought your pet with you as well!", continued the bot smoothly as he stabbed a finger that pointed towards Rampart. "You slaggin' piece of scrap!", yelled Rampart as he motioned at lightning speed towards the bot, but was pushed back by the large arm of Triton. "Easy Rampart", enthused the commander, "I didn't have them brought half-way across the galaxy for you to go and scrap them!" Triton now motioned towards the bot as he faced all three of them, "Magmatron IS dead, I rule the Destron army now. And this is going to be our new base of operations for when our former Maximal visitors, the Cybertrons, as they now call themselves arrive! But I'm sure you have many questions, all of which will be answered in time.."

Gorgon stood perfectly still next to the two remaining inactive Destrons. He let out another low rumble as Longrange spoke. He wasn't too sure what he'd said, but going by Rampart's reaction, it wasn't anything nice. However, Gorgon made no move nor did he speak. Triton was boss, and he'd already told Gorgon to show them the same loyalty. Gorgon looked down at the remaining inactive Destrons, then up at Triton.
"Boss-bot, how long before these two brought back online?"

"In time My loyal Gorgon, when the threee are fully charged", informed the Destron leader, "Until then we need to find exactly where this source of power is coming from. If it's coming from inside that crater, then it's a safe-bet that the core of what's causing it it somewhere underground on this moon.
Split up and find me that way in!"
OOC: Okay have a good search around first, but remember it is a baron moon. When one of you feel the time is right after enough posts, then post what you find. I'll leave it up to you what - use your imagination and let's see how creative you can be!
