Cat's done some pretty stupid things, but but this just takes the fragging energon cake. He...gya! *punches the wall

*is still lying belly-down on the floor; unmoving, and she doesn't look too comfortable either. Her back and legs are dented and scorched, her wings battered and spread half-furled limp on the floor. Her optics are offline...*

//'Boots? Yo 'Boots, you out there? Gimme an affirmative if you read me.//

[scarletlothario]

//My lady! Please, answer us!//

[apprentice_lurk]

*has been in stasis since a short while after Demolisher's leaving Unicron, and her systems really don't want to get up and running...* *optics flicker dimly*

[ravenology]

*keeps trying, but the hails go unanswered*

[Com-link: Cardoom] //It's no good. She ain't responding.//

*looks around*

[Com-link: Cardoom] //We're gonna simply have to search for her ourselves, unless one of us is able to get a lock on her energy signature.//

[scarletlothario]

*looks around* //Did Snowcat say where precisely she was last seen? It is infuriating to think we may walk right past the room we need...

*concentrates* I pick up only a hint that she is here somewhere - nothing helpful. *has to fight the urge to slam his fist into the wall*

*suddenyl hopeful* What of your Triad-mindshare? You may be able to sense something more defined...//

[ravenology]

[Com-link: Cardoom] //I... don't know.//

*tries to concentrate, tentatively poking at the mental link*

[Com-link: Cardoom] //I don't think I'm getting much more than you at the moment. It feels more like I'm groping blindly in the dark-- she's there, but I'm not getting much from her.//

*pause*

[Com-link: Cardoom] //Where did Snowcat leave Demolisher before coming to find Dreadmoon? Did he say?//

[scarletlothario]

//*shakes head miserably* He did not. And we are out of range to contact the others and find out...//

*looks undecided for a second, then lopes down the corridor, looking into every door he passes in an attempt to start looking in a vaguely systematic way*

[apprentice_lurk]

*something that feels vaguely familiar encourages reluctant systems that it might be a good idea to start waking up...whatever it was felt more sort of...safe...must mean it's okay to come back online*

*optics fuzz into a dull red glow, and 'Boots meanders mostly awake to find herself aching all over*

*softly, but with feeling* //Owwwww...//

[ravenology]

*freezes*

//...'Boots?//

[scarletlothario]

*half-way down the corridor, only to notice you are not with me...*

*turns to say something, probably sharper than I would normally intend, then looks at your face and holds my breath, not daring to say anything*

[apprentice_lurk]

//Mostly. *makes a soft, pained sort of noise*// *is too groggy to say something dry like she normally would, so just settles for trying to ignore the nagging complaints from what feels like her entire body*

[ravenology]

*winces at what comes over the link*

//'Boots, d'you know where you are?//

[apprentice_lurk]

//Some room in Unicron. I don't know which...I came in through the vent.//

*optics flicker and she bites her lip hard enough to dent it*

//I...think the room's off one of the main corrodors. *faint, slightly pained smile* Demolisher put his fist through the wall a few times.//

[ravenology]

*looks around for tell-tale dents, but can't seem to see any. Without a word,
she starts walking again, overtaking Cardoom as he watches her uncertainly*

//Are you able to deduce the co-ordinates? Or gimme a beacon signal I can follow?//

[scarletlothario]

*falls in behind you, almost vibrating with anxious impatience but saying nothing...*
