Dreadmoon stands in the control room of the tower, half-cocooned in cables and wires, concentrating intently on the information flooding his circuits. Looking for Demolisher, and keeping an optic on the party making their way back to the tower proper.

*Demolisher is currently at Sages of Chaos and would normally be unreachable as his own com system as a range that does not extend out of his own universe. Someone with a bit more ability might, however, be able to grab his attention*

[watch_in_shadow]

*cool and impersonal, reaching out and 'piggybacking' through the comms networks* //Decepticon Demolisher. Attention.//

[toughguytruck]

*stands to attention almost reflexivliy as he hears the strange voice, then look around, confused.* //Who are you?//

[watch_in_shadow]

((Bwa.))

//*crisp and authoritive, so he won't think to question me...* I am Subcommander Dreadmoon, Kalis Monitor. I have the means for you to contact your companion Snowcat, along with his consent to do so, on the provision that it is on an open-channel frequency to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings. Do you accept?//

[toughguytruck]

*doesn't understand half of what Dreadmoon is saying(too many big words) but he gets the gist of it*

//Slag yes, I accept. Where is he? He can talk to me face to face, doesn't have to be over the com//

[watch_in_shadow]

//*smoothly* Under the circumstances, that is not possible. It is the o-c comm or nothing I'm afraid.

*before he has the chance to object* Set comm frequency to 241-7910 and await my instructions.//

[toughguytruck]

//All right. Dunno who you are but you better not be tricking me. *does as he says*//

[watch_in_shadow]

*faint smile on the lips of my shell as I answer* //You have my word.//

*to Snowcat and Thrust* //I have contacted Demolisher, and he is willing to talk on the open-comm. *sends the frequency to the both of them* It is up to you whether you wish to start talking now, or if and when you reach the tower itself. Though I assure you, anywhere in the Sixth Sector is equally safe. *hint of a smirk*//

[icemasta]

//You're serious? You actually got him all the way over there? Wow.

Um...maybe I'll wait til we get to the tower again. Just in case. *isn't quite sure if Dreadmoon is exaggerating about his abilities*//

[watch_in_shadow]

//*more obvious smirking*

Very well. I have you on-screen now; the path to the tower is ready and waiting.

*slight pause, then with an edge of wicked amusement as he 'sees' approaching forms through Kalis commune-optics* ...Don't mind the seeker patrols. They won't pay you any heed.//

[startactician]

*keeps a watchful eye on the seekers* //We are almost there. What is Demolisher's temperment at the moment?//

[watch_in_shadow]

//Less belligerent than before, that much is certain. Emphatic about wanting to talk - anxious even, perhaps - but such was the case earlier, as I understand it. How long such a state will last is debatable...you know his moods better than I, but for now he seems stable.//

[startactician]

//He has changed since I last met him. He's more impulsive, as priven by the fact that he mearly killed his own mate for having an affair//

*Thrust swoops low and lands just outside the tower*

//We're here//

[watch_in_shadow]

*the tower gates open soundlessly, since though Dreadmoon has already left a clear path through to the control room, he's not so keen on leaving the front door wide for just anyone to walk in*

//Then we should proceed with caution... Come up. I can relay the conversation through the speakers in the control room, if Snowcat would prefer.//

[icemasta]

*drives in, vaguely knowing the way this time*

//That would be good. I could use a little backup, verbally. Not too good at the whole talking thing//

[watch_in_shadow]

*thin smile* //I don't think you need worry in that regard. You seem to be gathering quite an audience.//
