It wasn't long before a cybertronian shuttle dropped slowly from the sky, the pulse from his thrusters kicking up dirt and loose scraps. Skyfire landed neatly at the coordinates he'd been provided, keeping his ramp pulled up until he had some confirmation from the person he was meeting. It just wasn't safe to sit around open in a Zone like 8.

::Commander Megabyte? I'm here.::

He commed, trying to keep the nervousness from his voice.

Megabyte certainly couldn't miss him, the Cybertronian was huge. He glanced down at his com when it started beeping, grinning slightly when he read the message. Ah, huge size and that oh so wonderfully exploitable willingness to accept what he was told. Megabyte flicked an errant newspaper from his shoulder and stepped out into the street.

"Indeed, and you arrive with such haste even at this level. I am impressed, Skyfire." He paused a moment, then gestured to Slash, the malgian rather uneasily lurking by the building. Sure things were different here in Axiom, but Slash had been a Decepticon before his... change in loyalties, and Skyfire was a BIG autobot. "This is my acquaintance, Slash. You certainly seem spacious enough for him, but I hardly want to impose. He can stay behind if you wish."

::I was worried. Zone 8 is not safe.::

Came the response, and because Skyfire was a trusting individual, it was heartfelt and honest. His hatch popped when Megabyte approached, a long metal ramp folding downward. The shuttle's scanners took a moment to analyze the other's strange companion... A construction vehicle build...with a strange symbol Skyfire didn't recognize on his chest.

::I could hardly leave him in a place like this. You're both welcome to come aboard.::

His feet clanked softly against the metal ramp as Megabyte boarded the robotic transport, examining the interior with a curious eye.

"Hmm, spacious indeed," he remarked, his voice echoing slightly. "Although it must be necessary to transport other Cybertronians. It that your primary function?"

He moved to the other side of the hold as Slash entered, looking over the interior paneling and tapping it lightly. How curious these beings were. There were multi-function programs and filetypes in Mainframe and the Net, but none altered their data structures to shift between functions. Almost all of these Cybertronians did so, but why, and how? Slash had hardly been educated enough to know - even a complete data scan had yielded minimal results.
Where, he wondered, beneath this metal plating, was the computer - no, multiple computers, the network that ran this being?
