| - Mojave Desert Once part of an ancient inland sea, the Mojave desert was formed by volcanic action and by materials deposited by the Colorado River. Now, it is a vista of mountains, boulders, washes, joshua trees, and cacti. Clean air, sunny days, star filled nights, outstanding views, abundant wildlife, rockclimbing, hiking, biking, and relaxation make it a favorite day trip for the city-weary residents of Los Angeles. Edwards Air Force Base once attracted visitors to see the space shuttles landing, but the base was shut down years ago during the federal government defense cutbacks. Most of the visitors, though, are simply passing through on their way to and from the City of Sin, Las Vegas.

It's been all over the news; the Type-91 hybrid energon/fusion reactor is making its slow, delicate passage from MIT to its permanent installation in San Francisco; it's intended to take much of the power load off Autobot City; Earth is once again starting to rely on herself, rather than her oversized mechanical allies. Three police cars are leading the convoy to clear the traffic, and the reactor's main torus is carried upon a huge, thirty-wheeled unit that's both hauled by a truck and self-powered, ensuring the levelest, stablest possible platform for the delicate machinery. Three cop cars bring up the rear and the entire thing is festooned with flashing lights. In case of the inevitable Decepticon attempt to steal the thing, the EDC has provided two exo-suited escorts... Exo-Armor Pegasus is flying alongside the convoy, the young pilot idling humming to himself. Despite recent happenings, he's actually in a pretty good mood. <> he comments over his comlink. <> Exo-Armor Warthog Tank is taking the rear of the convoy with its AI pilot doing most of the driving. Noah, for his bit is listening onto broadcasts and frequencies so is somewhat distracted. But, hearing a con attempt on the convoy ahead of time will help. <
