The Torment cocked his head. "You do not remember when I called you that? When we last parted.... under dubious circumstances, I agree, but I thought you would remember...." He shrugged. "We should take heed of your friend. The pods are our only chance of escape. Hurry!" He floated quickly after Ornge...

Thunderclap nodded and kicked off the wall as hard as she could. Launching herself past The Torment, she grinned with a wave and swam towards Ornge. "Ornge! Whoawhoawhoa! You're going really fast!"
Ornge ground his teeth together and kept going without an alter in his pace. "I'm sorry, but I'm not really in the mood to DIE just yet thanks..." He said dryly, pulling himself through a doorway and towards the pods.

The Torment swam up behind them, securing the Hub and sliding into a pod. He looked over at Thunderclap, a quizzical expression on his face. "My memory is fuzzy around the last twenty solar cycles, Thunderclap... what were the Decepticons after? They never told me."

Thunderclap frowned and slid into the pod. "Thaaaaaaaat's a secret!" She giggled with a wink. Grinning happily, as if nothing was happening, she looked over at Ornge. "Tell me Ornge dear, do you know what's going to happen now?"
Ornge made a motion that resembled of a human rolling their eyes. "Unfortunatly not. I don't even know if we'll live or not... I have no idea where we are or anything about this place.... but it gives me the creeps... I'll meet you when we land... or find your spare parts..."
Thunderclap frowned and looked back at The Torment. "Cheery, isn't he?" She said sarcasticly.

The Torment was getting frustrated. "Look... I don't care what Emirate Deadlock told you, but he was wrong. The Cult of The Void- that's the Decepticons I was with- was hunting someone... or something... I don't know. I can't remember, but what I do remember is that someone found it before them. He sent you a note, revealing his whereabouts, and the Cult want it- badly. Who knows, they may have found out where what they want is by other means- and whatever it is, they think it can make them rulers of Cybertron!!!" He was about to say something else, but the pod he had pulled himself into sealed, and ejected itself, like a cork from a toy gun...

Behind Ornge and Thunderclap, the ship was exploding...

Thunderclap's head was swimming with information, and she leapt to The Torment's pod as it launched. Watching it go, she turned to Ornge and leapt inside a pod of her own. "Find me as soon as you can Ornge!"
With that, it sealed and Thunderclap was sent after the Torment.
Ornge frowned. Thank goodness he was a Search and Rescue officer before he became a technitician. Rubbing his temples, he watched the pod seal and launch from the ship as it exploded behind him. He rocketed after Thunderclap. Finding her shouldn't be to hard...

The Torment was applying some crude logic to the art of pod steering: throw your weight against a wall, and the pod generally follows what you do. He activated the tannoy between the pods. ++COMM++ "We need to head out of these clouds, or the pods will be devoured just as swifty as your ship- what are you doing in a junker like that anyway? I know of a ship I left around these parts in case of emergency.
(At this, the Torment smiled.)
Being an intergalactic criminal for millions of years does not come without its advanteges. Follow me!" ++END COMM++

Thunderclap relayed the information to Ornge, who was very hesitant to reply. "I'm not sure Thunderclap... he's a Decepticon!"
Thunderclap frowned. "Not as if we have much choice! Besides.... I trust him... for now at least. Just watch your back. We need to get out of here..."
With a sigh, Ornge agreed and Thunderclap errily chirped back to The Torment.
++COMM++
"Very well. We're following you!" *giggle*
++END COMM++

The pods hurtled away from the ship, and jolted fowards as a fina explosion seared out from the IronHaven and buffeted them foward. The Torment hung on for grim death as his pod shook uncontrollably, the protective panels rattling and bending. He commd Thunderclap. ++COMM++ "So, are you going to tell me where the Note leads you to?" ++END COMM++

Thunderclap grinned merrily sitting in the middle of the pod as if nothing was happening and she was on some kind of jonty little ride. Grinning, she leaned over to reply to The Torment. She hesitated. Did she mention a note? Thunderclap frowned. Thunderclap only trusted Ornge, and that was because the two had grown up together and spent nearly every day of their lives together.
++COMM++ "Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy...?" ++END COMM++
She teased, rocking back and forth and smiling happily.
++COMM++ "Did I mention a note? How'd ya know about that?" ++END COMM++
Wait. Thunderclap wasn't sure. She frowned.
++COMM++ "Did I? I might have.. Hmm... " ++END COMM++

The Torment looked shifty. "Did I mention a note? I'm not sure- that is- it must have come up..." The Torment shook his head looked down. "I... if the thing that the Cut is afteris what I think it is... I designed it."

Thunderclap was silent for a long time. He might have designed it? Designed what? She tapped her finger on her lips in thought.
++COMM++ "Hmm.... Designed.... 'it' .... what is 'it'? Who are 'The Cut'? Why do they want ... 'it'.... what does ... 'it' do..."
A slight pause.
"Okay. Let's think simple. What do you remember? Start from the beginning and try to tell me as much as possible... that is if you don't mind..."
++END COMM++
She added politely with a grin.

OOC: Sorry, my L key dosen't work- I meant 'cult'...
The Torment shook his head. "No, I don't mind. I'll awnser your questions one at a time... Firstly, I need to explain something- I am old. Much older than you would think. Once I was known as the Wallmaker- I built Iacon, and helped develop transforming technology. That was, before I was converted by the Robot-Smasher... I often consider returning to my former life- I suppose I could find some story or another- but the Robot-Smasher reprograms you to the bone. Besides, I'd be far to unstable- the only thing that really keeps me from tipping over the edge is people like you. For some reason, you instill some calm in me. Ironic, isn't it?
As for the Cult, I thought I told you about them. The Cult of The Void? The ones after you and the Note?
Anyway... back to the story. I accomplished much in the old days, but my final task was to solve the energy crisis. It seemed impossble: how can you supply power to an entire planet? Then it hit me: two mighty, surging canals of Multiverse energy striking, and meeting at one point in the cosmos. Just think, Thunderclap: a limitless source of power, capable of energizing any engine, heal any wound. In theory, it could even heal mental scars: replenish memories, cure trauma... But it was not to last. Every test subject we used for the project- Project Riversmeet, we called it- became bloated with force and was destroyed. They were too greedy, you see- when you drink a little Multiverse energy, you never want to stop. Then, I was captured by the Decepticons, and iterrogated in attempt to scare me into revaeling its location. When they realised that I would not tell them, they subjected me to there devil machine... So, Thunderclap. Am I right? Have the Cult found my creation? Are they going to drink from it, and rule Cybertron with this newfound energy? Does the Note tell you to meet its finder... at where Rivers Meet?"
