[There is a short buzz of static, before the sounds of hundreds of beings talking is heard. There is also a lot of background noise: people shuffling, rapid typing on a multitude of keypads, and an ever constant humming. Occasionally there is the distinctive sounds of an argument, but they quickly reside as security deals with them.So, I've finally

You actually took the slagging time to fill that out? What is wrong with you?

[airspacecommand]

...

No, I will do much worse.

Now tell me.

[jetfyre]

The blood-sucking sheep were pretty bad. Our manager was pretty torqued when it tried to kill her.

[airspacecommand]

Will you stop stalling and tell me?!

[jetfyre]

Hmm? Tell you what?

[Jetfire has found his amusement for the next couple of hours :p]

[airspacecommand]

You -- AURG.

I hate you.

[jetfyre]

Slaggit ... I have to go. One of the humans is missing.

Knowing this place, they'll probably make me start from the beginning ...

[There is a thoughtful pause]

How well do you know the Decepticon called Barricade?

[airspacecommand]

So the Autobots have lost one of their human pets. Interesting.

[He paused for a moment as if thinking of what to say.]

I have only briefly ever heard of a Decepticon with that designation. ... Why?

[jetfyre]

They are not our pets, Starscream. And apparently Barricade is the perpetrator of this crime. If you could help us find the female human, we would ... appreciate it.

[airspacecommand]

Pets. Whatever.

Why should I bother? I am a Decepticon.

It's bad enough that I --

Ugh.

Fine.

[jetfyre]

Oh! Err, thanks, Starscream. [sounds extremely surprised he had agreed so easily]

See you in the skies, then?

[airspacecommand]

Whatever.

I don't suppose you have any indication of just where he has taken her?

[jetfyre]

Unfortunately, no. Arcee has already cleared Zones 2 and 3, but we have six more to go. Another pair of wings would be more than helpful.

[airspacecommand]

Hnn. As a Decepticon I would say he will probably try and go for an area where it will be difficult for him to stand out. Somewhere he won't be noticed.

At least if he's of any intelligence he would go for this course of action.

[jetfyre]

From what I've heard of him, he's really bad news. If you have a hunch on where he could be, follow it. I'll be right behind you.

[airspacecommand]

Then I suppose if you want to save your pet, you should hurry.

Try the lower levels first.
