Los Angeles Division.
At the Los Angeles Altech Organisation Division, things were just as chaotic as the Florida branch and General Casey was not having a good day as a hive of activity filled the command room.
"Hollins, has Winters finished his debriefing yet?". hollored the officer as he waited for his answer, "Well get him and his pet Transformer blunkat, blitzkat - whatever it's call up here. Better get Staff Sergeant Lysander up here as well, we've got a situation here! And Don't just mean the giant transformers duking it out on Plato Beach!"
Hollins rushed off to find the requested personal, Casey meantime began trying to search out the whereabouts of some coffee...

Major Winters was waiting in the debriefing room. He had wondered what was going on but reasoned that it was something to do with the Decepticons. As far as he could see, everywhere was just chaos, people rushing through corridors and lots of telephones ringing at once.
Meanwhile, Blitzkat was waiting also, in a separate room.
(So sorry for the short lines)

Gabriel was making his way to the canteen. He'd been feeling hungry for a while, but he hadn't been able to take a lunch break. It was then that Hollins approached him. Gabe let out a sigh, looks like lunch was going to have to wait. He'd heard about the battle going on at Plato Beach, he just hoped he wasn't getting sent out there.

(I think it's a bit sensible to move this on, with me posting)
While waiting in the debriefing room, the door opened. It was Hollins, and he told Major Winters to follow him, as General Casey wanted him and Blitzkat up to report to him immediately.
Getting up, Major Winters saw that Blitzkat was in the corridor as well and soon they went going through the corridors. As they went through, Major Winters and Blitzkat nodded to each other. Blitzkat said to Winters 'Hey, Major. How's things'? The Major however, went 'Well, ever since being debriefed, very boring'. Blitzkat then went 'Same here, but not anymore'.
They continued down the corridors.

As Hollins, Winters and Blitzkat made their ways down the corridors they ran into one of the other new Autobots, freshly arrived only a day ago. An usual female bot, a medium light purple with a pale purple for her face and blue optics, she called herself Alanna, and had only just scanned her new alternate mode for Earth a few hours ago...

Alanna joined them as they walked down the corridor. "So what's happening? The radio station that I was listening to came in with an urgent report about some kind of Transformer battle in the humans' state called Florida?"

Major Winters said to Alanna, 'Well, I don't know much about that either. But hopefully, when we get to General Casey, he can tell us more. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Major Douglas Winters, United States Air Force. And here is my friend, Blitzkat'.
Blitzkat then said to Alanna with a simple 'Hi'
They then continued on.
(Hey, isn't Lysander supposed to be with us? Or do we need to wait for Bomblast to post?)

Gabe was en route to the room he was instructed to go to. He'd pretty much stopped paying attention to the ambient noise. He picked up his pace because he didn't want to be late. He rounded a corner and almost walked straight into Major Winters. Gabe recovered quickly and saluted.
"Sorry sir. I was just on my way to meet General Casey, I was told you were heading up there as well."

Major Winters saluted back and went 'It's alright, (after looking at his rank) Staff Sergeant. Nice to meet you. Major Douglas Winters, United States Air Force', offering a hand shake as they were on the move.

OOC: Lysander is just an NPC, you'll see him when you get there.
As the assembled team entered the operations room, Staff Sergeant Lysander was already there having arrived from another department. On the giant screen the events of the battle some miles in from Plato Beach continued, to some this wasn't new but to the newly arrived Alanna and recently returned Winters and Bklitzkat, it certainly was...
On the screen the Decepticon Locron had the giant Autobot Shipwreck in front of him in a stranglehold, using him as a shield. A dogfight was in the air between two arial Autobots and others below were fighting the others with one trying to shoot a strange looking alien ship down..
"Come in, come in", ordered Casey, "What your seeing some of you will already be aware of, but not others. A giant Decepticon has turned up on the coast of California, and is wrecking all havoc. Our primary concern at this time ids that it's getting dangerously close to many blocks of small communities. And not much is seemingly stopping it."
As the human and Transformers gathered round General Casey, he began to explain.
"Already the casualty list is high, Acting Autobot commander Rumble Prime has been killed and some other Autobots fatally wounded. But the greatest loss is that of the human crews - in our fighters, our ships and helicopters.
I've just received a communication from our Florida branch that all Autobots are ordered to go out there and put this menace down, however we have a conflict of interest. We've also received word of two more Autobots stuck out in the beyond that need collecting. Suffice to say, one of you Autobots and some of the staff are going to have to break procedure, split our forces into two so we can do both. But this is breaking military order of the highest form.."

Gabriel stood up after hearing the General's speech.
"Sir, I'd like to volunteer to go and collect the stranded Autobots. I don't believe a COMMs expert would be of much use in a battle of that magnitude."
Gabe hoped that General Casey didn't think he was a coward for volunteering, that he was trying to avoid the battle. It was only partly true, Gabe had no major problems with engaging other humans in combat, but giant alien robots were another matter.

Major Winters, following Lysander's example, stood up, then spoke up and said 'General Casey, sir. I'm Major Douglas Winters, United States Air Force. Requesting permission to go over to California. I could lead a team of Autobots there, if that is you could assemble some, and I could coordinate all available air and other military assets over there. Speaking of assets, what have we got over there'?
Major Winters was paying attention to the slightest detail and he was preparing for the battle that was to come...
As Blitzkat was readying himself to be in the fight, he was inching to go to battle, but was deeply saddened about Rumble Prime. Even though he thought that Optimus Prime (wherever he was at this moment) was always and always will be the leader of the Autobots, he had a bit of respect for Rumble Prime, who had good leadership capability. Now he was really inching for payback time.
(Yeah, the top part of this post may look a bit silly, so I apologize for anything that seems wrong to the eyes of the Staff)

(I deleted what I posted as it didn't fit the thread very well and reposted it here with some changes.)
Alanna looked at the screen as she saw the appearance of a Cybertronian ship who had fired off a few lasers at Locron before veering off and attacking another Decepticon who attacked the ship. She quickly asked them to rewind and freeze the frame of the new ship as she turned to look at them, her voice speeding through the words that she spoke, "I know that ship!"

Major Winters, then turned to look at Alanna. Then he turned to see the screen. The frozen frame viewed the ship. But being human, Winters did not know any particular thing about it which would have distinguished it from Autobot from Decepticon.

Alanna looked at them. "I was on that ship in my journey to get here to answer Optimus Prime's call. Hunter is the pilot of that ship and he's a bounty hunter. We met in the space port on one of the planets in the galaxy of IOK-1. He took me part way till we needed to fuel up on another planet. I found myself interested in the local life there and I told him to go on without me. I'll find another ship to get to Earth on. I guess he took a job on the way here for him to come so late in the game. But that ship if Hunter angles it right, could kill that giant Decepticon but Decepticons deserve a chance to live free."
