| - Summary: Nightbeat and Red Alert discuss Kup's situation over the radio. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Hey, boss... I checked up on that DNA for you. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Indeed? Get anything? You send a radio message to Red Alert: ...you're gonna call me nuts, boss. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Probably. Has that ever stopped you? You send a radio message to Red Alert: Well, no. The DNA belongs to Narmanex the 3rd. The guy's been dead for 10,000 years. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: *doesn't sound shocked.* And yet they have him on file? What'd he do? You send a radio message to Red Alert: He was an ancient Nebulan king, the kind Muzzle used to hear about in school when he was a kid. Legend has it, ol' Narmanex V3 and a few thousand other Nebulans were caught and carried off into the sky by a great eagle. - and boss, you /expected/ this? You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Not the specifics, no, but anything wrapped up in Kup's history has the potential to be quite ancient, especially given the fact that outside of current events, he hasn't been on Nebulos for quite some time. In order for DNA that ancient to still be stored, he must have been an individual of some significance. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Hnn. The logic there is sound, I guess. A great bird... well, blamin' dames aside, I wonder if Thunderwing's been to Nebulos before that recent stint? He kinda looks like a vast predatory bird. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: It's possible. I would also suggest looking into what files we have on Kup's activities during the time frame, particularly checking for 'bird' shaped Decepticons. Possibly warlords known for spraying blood to demoralize the enemy. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Hnn. Thousands of Nebulans... a spaceship? Will do, boss. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Thank you. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Nightbeat, are you still around? You send a radio message to Red Alert: Yeah, what's up, boss? You receive a radio message from Red Alert: As you might have gathered, Kup's involved in combat. One of the new Decepticons - not certain which one, but he seems rather interested in matters of 'the Fifth' and such - reports seeing a red, winged figure behind Kup, with red swirls entertwining him. None of the other Decepticons on the scene report seeing this figure. It... could be a coincidence, but I thought it might be of interest. You send a radio message to Red Alert: ...that does sound a bit freaky, I gotta admit. Does Kup know? You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Unknown. I had been reluctant to mention it over our frequencies. However, since Soundwave is now onto me, I'll go ahead and try. You send a radio message to Red Alert: I do think he deserves to know if there's some weirdo right behind him, yannow? You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Agreed. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: I've got a name for you to begin researching. 'Firebomb.' Look for connections to Kup. I may have more for you in a moment. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: ... Ah. Never mind. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Huh? You receive a radio message from Red Alert: The same guy who mentioned the red figure is now asking about someone named Firebomb. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Ah-hah! You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Mean anything? You send a radio message to Red Alert: Says here, "Firebomb was an aspiring Decepticon warlord who Kup reported sighting on Nanxis IV. His official report claims that Firebomb was likely killed when his airship crashed while he was still on board." You receive a radio message from Red Alert: What region of space was that? Could this Firebomb have been old Narmanex's 'great bird'? You send a radio message to Red Alert: Sorry, took me a while. Nanxis IV is in the Spectral Climbs, looks like. You receive a radio message from Red Alert: Not particularly close to Nebulos, then. Hmmm. You send a radio message to Red Alert: Doesn't rule it out, of course, but it does make it less likely. This case is a tough nut, but we'll crack it.
