[2] [August 2009 Metaplot] PJ Soundless and swift, something moved from branch to branch in the trees above. A black, metal Eoghan landed softly as he jumped out of the trees to the ground below, his body low to the ground. PJ couldn't help it; for stellar-cycles he had trained as a Cyber Ninja, and stealth was his trade. Raising his head, he let the wind pass by his olfactory sensors- they detected nothing out of the ordinary, though he did have to admit that the uncomfortable pulses that surged through his processor every now and again had been embarassingly distracting. Not that he had been assigned to scout ahead. He simply felt more comfortable knowing someone had before setting out, and took it upon himself to do so. From what PJ could determine, nothing in the forest seemed amiss, even though he had not gone in too far. At least, not in the small section they had to cross in order to reach the grasslands. Turning his head towards the sky, his visor reflected sharply in a miniscule ray of light that had made its way past both the leaves above, and the cloud-cover in the sky. From what he could determine by its position, the group back at the Post Office would probably be heading out soon. Though under different circumstances he may take his time back, PJ headed back into the trees and sped back towards the others. To say that he had adapted well to Earth's environment would be an understatement; by his standards he was thriving. The calm serenity, the natural powers, the delicate chain of surival- he found it all fascinating and beautiful. Before he knew it he was out of the trees and back on the sloping hill that lead to the Post Office's backyard. A thin fog hung in the air at that altitude, but this didn't bother him. He had other things to focus on. He approached a small group of Eoghan- both mech and organic among them- who seemed to keep company with the young human female who ran the Post Office. Being the first thing he saw that registered even slightly as "authority", he stopped before them, his head held high. "An initial re-con of the forest perimeter indicates no detectable threats."Starscream A derisive snort came from Starscream where he paced in short, tight circles on the ground, not at all comfortable with being grounded the way he was. He could have easily made it to where they were headed by midday, but Primus frag it all, he had to stick with this group of inferiors made up primarily of groundlings because his sparklings were part of it. "Of course there isn't," he hissed. "What is there to be threatening on this Primus forsaken mudball of a planet?" His hostility was more a front than anything meant to be taken seriously, angry with having to trek on the ground as well as tense from the burning in his processor and having seen the absolute last mech he wished to. It was a sure sign that Primus hated the seeker: Twincast was going to be a part of the investigation as well, and once again, if it were not for Harmony, Suncast, and Cornelius, Starscream would have left long ago.
Soundwave lifted his head haughtily at Starscream's grousing. "Starscream: foolish," he declared in his harmonic tones, and he allowed himself a micron of satisfaction that his comment made the irate mech stop in his pacing to glare at him. "Observation: disturbance in processors not ceased despite time elapsed. Conclusion: unknown source of explosion clearly a threat."
The black and red pygmy mech at Soundwave's feet was quick to chirp before the naked rage he saw on Starscream's face could reach the surface, "Don't start, 'ya two - don't! Fer Primus' sake, we ain't even left yet, an' yer already at each other's vocals?!" He let his tension relax just a little when Starscream merely snarled and resumed his pacing and Soundwave looked away somewhat sheepishly. This...was going to be a long trip.
Tori One of PJ's ears rotated slightly in the three Deceptighans' direction, though he made no other sign of having heard the snarkier of their comments. Tori sighed. This was going to be a LONG trip. It was true that if she flew straight there it would cut her travel time greatly. But without knowing what exactly was going on nor trusting her traveling companions enough to not get into a fight, that probably wasn't the best of ideas. "The humans say there was an explosion. But I haven't smelt anything funny..." In retrospect that was a silly thing to say. They were quite a distance away from the northern mountain, after all. "Matre!" Suncast squealed as she spotted Starscream. Breaking away from the group, she hurried over to the cranky red mech, though not without blowing a raspberry at Soundwave as she passed him. "I'm so glad you're coming!" she said as she trotted up to Starscream, her eyes sparkling with adoration. Bumblebee smacked his forehead with his paw. Sometimes he couldn't even believe that Starscream and Suncast were related. Soundwave Soundwave leaned back slightly with a surprised flicker of his visor at what the little one did at him when she passed. He usually prided himself on how well he got along with younglings of all species, but...then again, this one was Starscream's. The poor creature.
Temporarily relieved that the tension level had died down somewhat, Frenzy took the opportunity to step over to Tori and Bumblebee, catching the end of Tori's comment. "'Ya organic Eos can smell that far away?" he asked, impressed.
Starscream stopped pacing again when he was approached by his offspring, his beak turned down in a disapproving frown. "I'm still not happy about your insistence on coming here," he made sure to point out even though he knew it was hopeless at this point with three of his sparklings, biological or otherwise, bound and determined to see this through to the end.
Cornelius, the organic one Starscream found with his dead matre at the foot of the mountains when he was little more than a week online, peeked around his adopted matre's leg when he heard one of his sisters approach, relaxed by being around more familiar Eoghans. The large strangers all over the area frightened him, having barely left the safety of their cavern other than to stretch his legs and wings. "Hey," he chirped softly to Suncast, not yet brave enough to completely leave his matre's side and investigate the others present.
Suncast Catching Suncast's moment of brattiness out of the corner of her eyes, Tori giggled, though she didn't know what was funnier; the fact that it was directed at Soundwave, or the blue mech's reaction to it. Suncast moved her tiny robotic wings up and down, letting them clack softly against each other rhythmically. "But Matre, this could be exciting! And what if we miss a fight?" Ever the tomboy, Suncast had her priorities. She was certainly the polar opposite of her sister, Harmony. Before Starscream could respond, she looked around him to her adopted brother, Cornelius. "Heya, Corny! What're you doin' here?" Come to think of it, she'd never seen him this far from their cavern. Meanwhile, Tori had turned her attention to Frenzy. She shrugged; "Well, sometimes if the wind is blowing in the right direction we can..." She scratched her beak with a claw- a nervous habit she wasn't even aware she had. "But there hasn't been much wind today, so it's kind of a no-go."PJ's ears tilted back. She was right... given the amount of fog that still lingered, it was safe to assume that there hadn't been much wind that day- even when he was in the forest. Given that such a huge storm had rolled through the night before, this seemed odd. "Even if we could smell something, I don't know if it would do us much good. Burnt stuff smells like burnt stuff no matter what it was!" Having lived with Mazo for some time, the yellow mech had unfortunately come to know well what a variety of things burning smelt like. Most of them being food.

[3] [Game, Set, Match!] Soundwave The sun was just starting to shine over the Eastern horizon and had not yet raised high enough in the sky to shine over the cliffs and rocks surrounding the beach, but in the distance, where the shadows could not reach, sunlight glittered off the ocean in a calming display of sparkling light. The sight was an almost daily occurrence and was why Soundwave, after taking residence in the shallow limestone cavern on the rockier portion of the beach, had decided he loved mornings. Not for the first time, he sat quietly in the shadows and watched the ocean waves roll over the beach, curled up on the semi-flat rocks he had arranged outside his cavern. The rocks had been rather challenging to move from the mountains to the beach and partially bury in the sand, but it was worth it - they kept him out of the annoying sand when he watched the surf, and they warmed very nicely during midday when the sun shined on them, making the perfect spot for sunbathing.
Curled up against Soundwave's belly was one of his pygmies. Frenzy was still recharging quietly. He felt it was far too early to get up and just watch the water, so when Soundwave settled for his morning routine, Frenzy simply went right back to sleep. Eject Eject wasn’t really required to do much in there new station. Blaster seemed to be a little displeased with him lately. Eject’s duty was assigned to being one of the radio monitors. Incase another Eobot or Deceptihan needed to call for any reason. It was not a hard past, but it was incredibly dull, and Eject would much rather play football, and tune into sport channels to listen to games that were being broadcasted on the radio. What made Blaster disappointed was that Eject would do this during his duty. This of course led to Blaster’s “talks” tiring to motivate Eject, but Eject didn’t want to hear it. Blaster was never mean to him, but it was clear that he was disappointed in his Pygmy. All Eject wanted to do was play sports, have someone to play with, that little pink Femme offered sometimes, but she wasn’t very good at it. He really wanted to play with Blaster, but the large mech never really noticed him much. Always loud, playing music so he could not hear anyone else, talking with his bigger friends… Eject liked to go to the fields, wander around, chase his ball, it was the wide open spaces that were just perfect for playing, running, pretending that he was an all-star on a football team, he could almost hear the crowd cheering for him… that and having a recording of cheering crowds on his tape helped with the realism. He was alone again. Nothing would change that, instead he gave more of an effort to wander farther then he usually did. “Ejeeeect!” Blaster called out, trudging through the field that he was usually found the blue Pygmy playing. His Com was off; Blaster suspected he was busy listening to more sport broadcasts. Frowning softly he continued on, not sure where Eject could have gone to. But he didn’t find him in the field; the farther Blaster trudged though, the sooner the large Red deck found himself nearing the beach… Eject wouldn’t be here would he? The sound of the waves might drown out his calls, but he called away. Scanning the area. Frenzy Soundwave was still watching the surf as the sun reached higher in the sky, too preoccupied listening to the waves crash upon the shore to hear the voice carried on the wind. Frenzy, however, was disturbed from his sleep when he heard it - the voice stood out from the usual noises of the beach, and its newness made him lift his head and flicker his visor online. Of course, only half of the visual appeared. He had lost his sight on the left a long time ago, between their fleeing of Eotron and their arrival to Earth. The lack of proper parts and tools to repair his injury lead to the leads and wiring in his head corroding. His entire visor still glowed Deceptighan crimson to give the appearance that everything was normal; however, the loss of his sight in that quadrant of his display was permanent. His hearing, however, was just as good as it had always been. "Did 'ya hear that?" he finally asked to get Soundwave's attention. The larger mech tore his gaze from the ocean to listen carefully, grunting softly when he heard what had awakened Frenzy. They had an intruder. Blaster Blaster's frown only deepened when his slowly scanning head stopped, catching a glimpse of blue. "There you are," he sighed in exasperation, pushing himself forward, not really thinking much of the delicate earth below him, as he rushed to try and get to Eject. What he found however, was that it was not Eject, quit the contrary. It was another blue mech that Blaster was familiar with, jerking to a stop, head held high in surprise. Soundwave, a Decpetighan, or at least… a retired one, he had heard what his Rival… or former… he thought, maybe still rival. He had heard the details in the report of what happened when the ark was discovered, Soundwave had gone against Megatron. But still, he did not expect to be face to… mask with him again. Frowning a bit, shifting back a little, was this Soundwave’s territory? Soundwave Blaster was not the only one who was startled. Soundwave surged to his feet and turned to face Blaster, shoulders hunched to make the already large mech seem larger. He moved Frenzy underneath himself between his paws, protecting him just in case. He knew they were technically on the same side now, all part of the same clan as far as Optimus was concerned, but old rivalries and suspicions died hard, and Soundwave knew he, his cassettes, and Starscream were still not exactly...welcome among the Eobots despite their actions against Megatron. It was why they still stayed in their old territory, though they were ready to be called upon should the Prime need their services.
