[Wing steps away from Wheeljack, just far enough where he could speak quietly and not disturb the Autobot, but not out of his visual field. ]

[He simply opens up the channel to the lock. The first step in unifying was making sure there were no secrets. He would speak to them all. And hope for the best.]

I've found Wheeljack. He needs help, and he has some distressing news.

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies] Look at the red ball of rage. :D

[rednotyellow]

What!

Where? Slaggit--- Wing, you got that... device to work? Where are ya?

[We shall hope the audio of your comm. is turned down, Wing, because Cliffjumper wasn't particularly quiet with that outburst.]

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies] d'awwww

[swordofpeace]

[Actually, no, the audio was not turned down, so have a wincy Wing.]

Yes, finally. [A frown. If it hadn't taken him so long to get it, and then get it to work, he might have spared Wheeljack some of the obvious distress.]

We're in Zone Six. [You can haz coordinates.] He's safe now, though. [A bit of a ruffle: Wing can actually protect him.]

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies] join up in the prose thread at some point?

[rednotyellow]

[Sorry there, Wing. Impulse control and anger management isn't what it perhaps ought to be.]

Great. I'll come on down. [Yay coordinates! Cliffjumper transforms to alt and zooms off, considering he's way faster like this.]

Thanks, Wing. At least that thing... helped us some. [Better than nothing, but slag he wishes they could have found him sooner.]

[Oh, he's seen your swords, no doubt you can protect Wheeljack, that's not the point here.]

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies] Hop on in up thread! :D

[swordofpeace]

[Well, it is emotional news. Wing expects...emotional response.]

I'm glad the device helped. [You have no idea. This...made it worth it. Getting any favor from Magnum was a trying enterprise.]

We--the other Autobots need to hear him. Apparently Malcolm is planning something...dire.

((ooc and mebbe see you upthread thar? ))

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies] *hops in like a boss*

[rednotyellow]

[Good, good. Probably just as well.]

Me too... [Cliffjumper trails off and, considering he's in alt mode, he can't scowl, but if he could, he would. Instead his engines rev something unpleasantly loud.]

Th' ugly one that had a fire happeni--- [And Cliffjumper just connected the dots, and the earlier rev? Forget that, this is a roar.] Gonna slaggin' tear him apart---!

... Rrrr. Nevermind that, I'll be there soon, I'll listen then.

((sure thing! *hops on over, dragging anrgy mini-bot behind))

[The minute he got the comm alert and heard what Wing had to say, it didn't matter what he'd been doing right then. It got dropped.]

You did?! Where are you? Damnit, Wing, give me his coordinates.

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[swordofpeace]

Yes. [Ooooo boy do not even ask 'how'.]

We're here, Zone Six. [And coordinates for you, as well! ] He can move, but...maybe not a good idea to move far? [That's Wing asking for advice. You're the medic. He's not.]

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[talks2stoplight]

Don't move at all until I get there. I'm on my way now.

[Because if he knows Wheeljack, he'll claim that he can move even with half a leg blown off and Ratchet doesn't trust Wing not to believe the engineer.]

[So he's off like a shot, breaking traffic laws with abandon as he makes his way towards Zone Six.]

((OOC: join you guys upthread?))

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[swordofpeace]

[There's open relief in Wing's voice. He knows what he's good at, and repairs? Not one of them.]

Yes. Thank you, Ratchet.

((ooc: hop on up. Wing will throw into the rotation after Wheeljack, I think. So just presume Wingly 'howdy' when Ratchet arrives))

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[dayglo_cmo]

Wing?

[Ratchet looked momentarily confused at the combination of encryption and the mech broadcasting, but the message took precedence.]

If he has news, I presume that means no memory wipe.

[At least the abductions haven't gone from three days to a few weeks, correct?]

Try to keep him calm. Where are you?

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[swordofpeace]

No. His memories seem intact, as far as I can tell. [A frown--as though he's not sure that's a good thing, entirely.]

He's...calm. [Kind of. It is Wheeljack, after all.] Cliffjumper and Ratchet are inbound.

[And you can have coordinates too.] It's best perhaps to hear--not over comm--his concerns. Then we can decide what to do.

((ooc: join us upthread? :D))

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[dayglo_cmo]

Good mechs to have his back. [Wing included, whether he would believe it or not.]

Thank you, Wing. I'll be there presently.

[He transforms and gets moving.]

((ooc: Sounds good, hopping up there.))

[leader_prime]

[He had not been there long himself, but he had since been informed that one of the Autobots of this world had been captured. No reason to it, no rhyme, but from what he had heard, this was... unusual, and likely one of the Megatrons were to blame.]

[At least, that was the theory. It was no wonder why the Transtechs did not want the other Primes or Megatrons in their world. He understood their reasoning; to see it was all the bigger the headache.]

Thank you. I see you've others who are out on their way. Is there anything I can do?

(OOC: If Prime wouldn't be okay to show up, smack me. The muse is tugging at his leash again. DX )

[Video Locked to Autobots and Allies]

[swordofpeace]

[One of the Primes. Almost a relief.]

I don't know if it's safe for you to move openly. But he has distressing news that impacts us all.

[This one is new, and maybe not settled into the highwalled ruts the others have.]

We need to work together.

[leader_prime]

It is inevitable that I will have to move around at some point - I already have. If this is serious, then I would like to know, and I would like to help. Please.
