abstract
| - The cities of Tazma are all, save for a few stray lights running on some permanent power source, virtually dark. Even during the day, dark clouds frequently cluster overhead, blotting out the sun and casting the cities in darkness. Throughout these cities, strange, unnatural noises can be heard, like guttural moans and high-pitched shrieks. Now and then gunfire echoes throughout the streets. The cities are all in extremely bad shape. Buildings have suffered tremendous damage, vehicles sit driver-less through the streets, trash is strewn about everywhere, and the walls are all pockmarked with gunfire. There is a noticeable lack of inhabitants here, however. At least at first. Contents: Gnaw Foxfire Shockwave Catechism CDA Poster Obvious exits: Orbit leads to Deep Space - Galactic Plane. Middle of City leads to Tazma IV - Safehouse. Durango has arrived. Sinnertwin has arrived. Kup had been doing some research prior to coming here, looking into a person known only as "Madmind." What he discovered, by plying the intergalactic information sellers' wares, is that he had apparently set up shop on some ordinary world called Tazma IV, a place inhabited by non-transforming robots. As the scene begins, he is just now stepping off of an Autobot shuttle with his comrades into the middle of a street. He looks around the darkened and dilipadated city skeptically as the shuttle takes off after unloading its personnel. "Hnnh," he says, stepping up to a severed arm on the street. He picks it up, and sees that its thumb was bitten off. Foxfire follows after Kup, much like a dog trailing its owner. His ears twitch as he glances around, his paws sounding lightly upon the ground beneath him. Alarmed at the sight of the severed arm, his optics widen. He rears up onto his hind legs to give it a sniff as Kup picks it up, then drops back down on all fours. "I don't like this place..." XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms into robot form. Catechism's feet unfold, her arms unfold out of her body, her nosecone rotates through her body and ends up on her body, and her wings rotate into position at her hips. Sinnertwin unfolds into his robot mode. Egads! Fireflight has arrived. Marissa Faireborn has arrived. Fireflight strides along quickly to catch up to Foxfire and Kup, staring all about himself. THen he sighs a little "I agree. Its just as depressing as the last three we were on." he notes quietly, sadly. XF-35B Astral Lightning has become a vastly more useful scout ever since got herself upgraded to FTL capacities. It makes her more difficult to repair, but being able to dog after the Orion Pax is quite useful for correlating with what DCI has dredged up. The Decepticons she has with her may not be the most subtle, but they'll do. There is no problem that 'smash' cannot solve. Durango quickly poses in, being IN THE GENERAL BACKGROUND of the scene behind Foxfire and Kup. He's the muscle for this particular mission. The Autobots are F:)ked. Colonel Faireborn has taken a great interest in helping the Autobots get their Matrix of Leadership back. Countless conversations with Rodimus Prime have convinced her of the importance that artifact has, both for Autobot morale and in a very real sense. She doesn't fully understand its capabilities, but she recognizes what a danger it could be. Marissa, wearing Terran combat gear that wouldn't look terribly out of place on today's battlefields, steps out of the shuttle along with the Autobots. She frowns at the arm Kup finds. "The hell does that mean?" she asks. Lured here by the promise of Food, food and MOAR FOOD, Gnaw arrives with the Decepticons in search of the Matrix. What is the Matrix? Darned if the Sharkticon knows. All he understands is eating Autobots, picking up sparkly shiny glowy things, and eating Autobots. Oh, and eating Autobots. Speaking of subtle Decepticons, Sinnertwin is here! And he's loud! What a surprise! "I will CRUSH and MAIM and DECIMATE and DESTROY every AUTOBOT in the UNIVERSE so I may RETRIEVE the MATRIX for LORD GALVATRON!" He clears his throat with a harsh cough. Kup tosses the arm aside with a scowl. "I don't know yet, Colonel. Someone gnawed that thumb off with their teeth, which ain't easy since it's a mechanical arm." He steps down the darkened streets, muttering, "Keep a close watch, all of you. Foxfire, keep sniffing for Madmind's scent." Looking over at a nearby building, he notices that posters over it, and over many other adjacent buildings. He squints at the text. "Civil Decepticon Authority?... What the..." o/~ Ooo WEEE oooo... o/~ Shadows begin to move back and forth on the rooftops, between alleys, and behind windows... Fireflight slows a little as he stares at the sign too, and blinks "... MAybe we should have brought disguises." he notes to Kup, perhaps unhelpfully. He then looks over his shoulder at Durango to make sure he was keeping up, then back once more. CDA Poster These appear to be posted just about anywhere there's a flat, vertical surface. These CDA posters appear to give advice on body disposal, securing your home, and waiting out the crisis. But what does CDA stand for, you may be wondering? Civil Decepticon Authority. Foxfire nods and lowers his head, sniffing around in a few circles. He pauses at one point, blinking and looking up at the posters. "The creepy factor just rose..." He looks around, then lifts a front paw to point in one direction. "I think he's that way." XF-35B Astral Lightning flies above, surveying this planet. The Autobots are fairly obvious, and she's sure that Gnaw and Sinnertwin will be spotted soon enough, what with all the ruckus that they make. The jet dives a bit, concerned. The shadow in the alleys are... moving? What devilry is this? "Some kind of animal, maybe," Marissa suggests. "Were the teeth marks mechanical in nature or biological?" Depending on how the arm was gnawed, there might be sharp wounds similar to what a knife would produce. If the teeth were sharp metal, anyway. Glancing about as Kup approaches the sign, Marissa wrinkles her nose. "Smells terrible here." At the mention of Decepticons, Marissa frowns and grips the rifle slung over her shoulder tightly. "This isn't like any Decepticon installation I've ever see." That's her roundabout way of asking Kup if it's like anything he's ever seen before. Durango is keeping up, thank you very much. He's slower than some, but not heart-breakingly slow. Like Grimlock. He's just wading through chanspam. And making sure to not step on Marissa. How good it is that they've found a planet with the correct oxygen makeup in the atmosphere. Durango, for his part, is remaining silent (thank Primus), and kind of forming a one-Bot perimeter around the rest, looking outwards, rather than in. Sinnertwin stomps around as obnoxiously and as loudly as possible through the dark streets that make up the seemingly abandoned city. "Now! The quest for the Matrix begins!" Sinnertwin claps his hands together and bows his head, "May the WISE leadership of LORD GALVATRON guide me through this TEDIOUS and IMPORTANT mission!" Okay, that's over with. Time to start kicking things over. Sinnertwin flips over a trashcan and peers. "NOTHING HERE!" Kup nods to Foxfire, and walks down in the direction Foxfire pointed. "I dunno if disguises would be any help here, Fireflight. Ain't seen any actual Decepti--" He looks up just as he hears Sinnertwin screaming about Galvatron. "--eehhh, except those knuckleheads that are probably following us." Glancing back down at Marissa, he says, "Nah... I... I dunno. It's dark. Mighta been mechanical though. And yer right, this ain't like a normal Decepticon base. It's like they just moved in on the natives. But they didn't conquer 'em, I don't think. They musta tried somethin' more subtle. They do that, sometimes." Just then, something starts running towards Kup. "Hello? Are you one of the natives on this planet?" Kup yells at the running figure, waving a hand at it. Then it jumps on Kup, biting him on the hand. "AGGGH! Nuts!" Kup yells, pushing the maniac off. Then they begin to pour out. Dozens and dozens of robots, much like the Transformers themselves, shrieking and growling. A mass of gunmetal grey, milky white optics, and mouths open and drooling oil. They're not just attacking the Autobots, though. Sinnertwin seems to have drawn a lot of them for some reason! "Well, my fangs can chew through wires," Foxfire comments as he moves alongside Kup. "And I did rip out Rumble's vocalizer once, so I think it's possible..." He pins his ears back at the sound of Sinnertwin's voice, but before he can say another, he is abruptly startled by the strange figure jumping onto Kup. "Kup! Are you okay?!" He snarls and backs up slightly, optics flaring as he watches the emerging strangers. "This reminds me of those zombie movies I've watched..." Fireflight nods at Kup, then looks over at the native... his jaw drops as it reaches up and BITES Kup "... I guess that answers your question, Marissa!" he notes, his gun appearing as he whirls about to aim at the nearest one. "What the slag!!" *BLAM* "really, how did they defeat them then, Foxfire?" Fireflight misses Zombie Troop with his disruptor attack. Durango, having prior been appointed Marissa's 'ride,' as it seems, rushes towards said EDC general at the first sight of trouble, crouching down towards her, assuming she hasn't run away by now. "Want in, oah stayin' out feh this one?" "Looks pretty old. Maybe they tried whatever it was a long time ago," Marissa comments, walking past one of the buildings. To the naked eye they look darn near ancient, but it's dark enough that this isn't terribly scientific. When the sounds of footfalls running towards them reaches the Colonel, she reaches up above her helmet and lowers the standard issue night vision goggles. Her world suddenly turns various shades of green (but not the shade of green you're thinking of). She readies her rifle but doesn't raise it, not warning to alarm whoever is running for her. It doesn't help, as Kup gets attacked and swarms of machines begin pouring out of the buildings. "Shoulder or riding shotgun," she replies curtly to Durango in a rushed tone. "Whichever works best for you." Marissa can shoot at enemies from either spot. XF-35B Astral Lightning sees some sort of robots approaching Sinnertwin, though from her altitude, she is unable to resolve the exact horrific details. She bleeds altitude, descending to denser air, closer to Sinnertwin's position to get a better visual fix on the enemies. Sinnertwin hefts a second trashcan over his head and glares at the empty ground below it. "Rargh! I give up! This is WAY too difficult!" Lifting his gaze off the ground, Sinnertwin spots the group of Autobots and begins to say something, but the zombie attack stops his train of thought and he just laaaaaughs. "Stupid Autobots! May you be TORN to PIECES and SENT TO HELL! HAHHAHAHA-" Then a group of robozombies sneak up (just kidding, they were busting ass) and knock him to the ground. "AAARGH! WHAT AN IRONIC TURN OF EVENTS!" he barks out before a set of rusty jaws impale themselves on his cheek. Gnaw sees masses of walking bodies. To a Sharkticon, that's like getting out one of those old fashioned dinner triangles and ringing it while shouting "COOOOME AAAAAAAAAND GEEEEEEEEEEEEEET IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" The Sharkticon realizes he's hungry, and transforms to take a bite out of the masses. Gnaw transforms into his Sharkticon mode. Gnaw strikes Zombie Troop with bite. "Couple methods for that," Foxfire replies to Fireflight. "One is burning them. Another is decapitation. I don't think they can go out during the day, either--but that one's kind of irrelevant right now!" He crouches slight, letting loose a flaming stream from his mouth. "FIRE!" Foxfire misses Zombie Troop with his Fire attack. Kup punches the zombie that bit him, then shoves aside another gaggle of them as they charge. "Damn! Zombies! I shoulda known! FOXFIRE! Keep tracking that scent! We have to find this guy no matter the cost! Durango, protect Marissa! Fireflight, if we get overwhelmed, just fly out of here and don't look back! Now, Autobots, we gotta push through! CHARGE!" He dives into the zombie masses, bowling them over, but they just... keep... coming! Durango shifts down into SUV mode. You strike Zombie Troop with OH HELL NAH. A robot that appears to be severely bloated quietly walks out of an alley, and hustles towards Sinnertwin. "BLAARRRGHGHHHH!" And it... *vomits* at him. Yes, it vomits at him. Say, is that a Decepticon icon on this particular zombie? Subaru Outback shifts down into his more zombie-elusive mode, and brings his rocketry up out of his cab as his passenger side door swings open. (For those keeping score at home, his passenger side is on the /right/ side. Because he's /Australian/. And they drive on the /wrong/ side of the road. "Shotgon, eh? I'm a bit quickah in this mode." Zombie Troop misses Sinnertwin with its Evisceration attack. XF-35B Astral Lightning tries to scout out for any more intact buildings that might contain a clue inside,. Luckily, none of these... zombies seems to be able to fly. She remembers back when Scrapper meddled with the undead. Catechism couldn't quite believe it then, and she has difficulty believing it now. After all, zombies shamble around and eat stuff. Sharkticons shamble around and eat stuff. That doesn't make Sharkticons undead! Sinnertwin manages to get some footing and rise back onto his feet. "FOOLISH....THINGS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?" he shouts, fists raised in the air and then...he just stands there. "No, really. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Sinnertwin stands there with his hands on his hips, awaiting a response. He gets one. And it's in the form of barf. As the stream of foul smelling, gut wrenching stomach goop flies past him, the Terrorcon peers. "Blot?" And then the zombies knock him down again and start to dig their oil crusted fingertips into his armor creases. "AAAARGH! BLOT, YOU JERK, HELP ME." A shot rings out, blasting through the wave of robot zombies assailing Sinnertwin like a rifle round through a line of rotten pumpkins! "You should take the high ground," says Shockwave's voice from where he stands on one of the rooftops, silhouetted against the moon. His chest and cannon arm glow a warm radioactive pink. "And keep moving. From my surveys this entire planet represents what can best be thought of as a 'failed experiment.'" Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Repetitive Microwave Bursts. Colonel Faireborn starts towards Durango's right side out of instinct, but then stops when she realizes it's his right side and not his passenger side. She quickly runs around to the left side, but then remembers that it doesn't really matter if she's in the driver's side or the passenger side. It's just best for her to be on the right side so she can lean out and shoot people. She's a righty, after all. Muttering to herself, Marissa rushes back around to the right side again and gets in. The end result is that it takes about ten seconds longer than it should have. "Sorry about that. British cars are confusing." She leans out the window and starts lining up shots. Subaru Outback waits for Marissa to complete her Keystone Kops routine before taking off, making circles and dodging in and out alleys in a losoe perimeter around wherever the bots have stationed themselves, shooting his flamethrowers whenever one gets too close. For his part, he is more concerned about keeping Marissa safe and firing than he is about exacting a body count of his own. He does take the time to correct her on one thing, though: "Austrahlyan." (He leaves out the 'Japanese Company' part of his rebuttal.) Durango strikes Zombie Troop with headlight-mounted firethrowers. The bloated zombie shuffles off somewhere to recharge its vomit, making disgusting burping sounds all the while. The little rotund Shark-ball gnaws away (lol) at the zombies. Why, this was like an all you-can-eat buffet! Masses of robots all ripe for the eating. Sharkticon opens wide and prepares to really chomp down. Do the Zombies stink of undeath? Perhaps. Or perhaps not. But all this doesn't matter to Gnaw. All he cares about right now is filling his belly. Gnaw misses Zombie Troop with his evisceration attack. "Right!" Foxfire darts off, leaving his comrades to deal with the zombies, although he is reluctant to do so. He quickly follows the scent, which eventually leads him to what appears to be a subway entrance. He peers down it, sniffs the air, then descends into it. Fireflight nods at Kup at that, though he didnt look too happy. "Fire? Let's fire then." he states, and transforms! Taking to the skies, Fireflight dissapears from sight as he gains airspace to turn around without hitting anything. THen he dives back down out of nowhere, aiming for some zombies that weren't TOO close to his friends.
* FWOOOSH* "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" he bellows as he release a Fogfire missile... right before dissapearing into a hole in a building in front of him. Fireflight strikes Zombie Troop with Firefog Missile. XF-35B Astral Lightning thinks she sees what might be a subway tunnel, and the Autobots, in their fighting, are being forced closer to it. She dives at the tunnel and then transforms, doing a few flips in the air before landing. There might be some zombies over here, too, close enough to menace her, and she's certainly on edge about the whole situation. She doesn't understand Shockwave's technobabble, but she gets that the technology here is anomalous, even unnatural. Best to be aware, to beware. XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms into robot form. Catechism's feet unfold, her arms unfold out of her body, her nosecone rotates through her body and ends up on her shoulders to expose her face, and her wings rotate into position. Kup fires his laser musket into the hordes, causing many of them to fall over. The zombies behind them stumble over their slain peers and waste precious moments trying to get back up. "Everyone, follow Foxfire, dammit! We can't stay here!" Running after the little tape, he fires into the zombie ranks as he runs. He doesn't notice Catechism yet, even though she has to be *right there.* Overhead, a seeker passes by over Durango. Just another Decepticon, right? Wrong! It transforms just as it's overhead, attempting to land on top of him! It lets loose a shrill scream! "YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" "Blararraaagrhhghg!" Sinnertwin rings out as a zombie gnaws on his nose and drools oil all over the place. Another one digs his fingers into a neck seam, yanks out a thick cord, and begins to floss with it. "THE HORROR. THE HORRRORRRRRRRRRRR!" The Terrorcon reaches a hand out above the zombie dogpile, fingers wiggling about in a plea for assistance. And then something amazing happens.. Just as soon as they came, the zombies practically explode in a mess of spent lubricant and rusty shrapnel. A robot in purple has come to his rescue. "L-Lord Galvatron..." It's Shockwave. "...Oh.." You strike Zombie Troop with Musket Laser. Zombie Troop misses Subaru Outback with its Claw attack. "Right. Australian." Marissa replies. She has an inkling that Durango is being more defensive than he normally would, and hopes it isn't on her account. "Don't be afraid to go all out, Durango," she comments. The Colonel leans out the window with her rifle and fires in short, concentrated bursts, trying to fill the knee joints of the approaching zombie Transformers with armour piercing rounds. "Lookout! Above!" Then, "Nice driving, Durango!" she compliments as he deals with the zombie Seeker dropping in. The Colonel twists and faces upwards, taking potshots at the zombie Seeker. Marissa Faireborn misses Zombie Troop with her Rifle attack. Shockwave sweeps the beam of his maser around Sinnertwin, carefully outlining him to pick off zombies from around him. Shockwave has the Safety First achievement. Sinnertwin picks himself up and paws at his battered face with a very, very, /very/ sad frown. "I want to go home." Driving had nothing to do with it. Durango chooses to deal with the interloping Decepticon directly. He aims a rocket at it, and fires. Close range be damned! That taken care of, either by distraction or destruction, he alters course towards the subway entrance, following whoever it is that's currently leading the charge in that direction. Foxfire discovers some kind of safe room at the bottom of the stairs. He opens a link to his comrades and transmits, <> "OW!" Fireflight's voice yells from the hole he had dissapeared into. "Oh slag!" And then gunfire from upstairs, before he leaps back out of the building - despite being two stories up - and swings his arms wildly before landing right beside Kup, a few Zombies up above in the hole he had escaped from "... I didnt mean that when I yelled 'fire in the hole' you know." he comments to nobody in particular, firing at the zombies as he moves with Kup, walking backwards. Until he trips. Scrambling to his feet he chooses instead to walk forwards and fire over his shoulder on occasion instead. Fireflight strikes Zombie Troop with Firebloom. Shockwave's last pose: Shockwave sweeps the beam of his maser around Sinnertwin, carefully outlining him to pick off zombies from around him. Shockwave has the Safety First achievement. Sharkticon is still trying to gnaw his way through troops of Zombies, although the last one seemed to have gotten away on him. So he lunges again, trying to bite a Zombie's arm off, or something. Gnaw strikes Zombie Troop with bite. Nnnnngh! Eeerrrhg! Zombies clamber up the walls of the building Shockwave's on now that he's announced himself, but he kicks their heads off as they poke up over the edge. "An underground control center? An intriguing possibility. I will accompany you." Catechism is hard to see, apparently, being bright purple and horrible cyan. Not yet menaced by any of the walking dead, due to playing 'eye in the sky' for much of the fight, she attempts to slip down the subway tunnel, which may well be full of horrible, horrible zombies, so she keeps her weapons charged and primed. If only she had a cricket paddle! Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Soccer Kick. You move to the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Some kindly people apparently constructed a sanctuary of sorts in the middle of the city. It is a small room with two heavily reinforced doors, openable only by those with enough higher motor functions to know how to operate the latch, and it appears to be immune to most of the smashings and crashings of the zombies, who lurk outside of the room even now. Both doors provide a small window to see outside, and frequently zombies will try to reach in through those windows and claw at your face. It doesn't look like whoever set this place up had much time to provide it with furnishings. There's a table here with some ammo and fuel stockpiled on it, but that's pretty much it. It appears you're not the first ones to use this safehouse, as someone has spraypainted messages all over the walls. Here's some gems: SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD Parkervale not safe anymore. Tertrax, meet me at the TDRL Powerplant -- Boxx WE ARE BEING PUNNISHED FOR OURE SINS Obvious exits: Down leads to Tazma IV - Subways. Out leads to Tazma IV - Ruined Cities. Catechism arrives from the Tazma IV - Ruined Cities. Catechism has arrived. Fireflight arrives from the Tazma IV - Ruined Cities. Fireflight has arrived. Sinnertwin arrives from the Tazma IV - Ruined Cities. Sinnertwin has arrived. Foxfire arrives from the Tazma IV - Ruined Cities. Foxfire has arrived. Shockwave has arrived. Shockwave jumps off the roof, rocket-braking to land near the others. "I presume you have followed the same clues that we did, Autobots," Shockwave asides to Kup as he heads inside with him. "I do not begrudge your presence here. The local inhabitants attack in a disorganized mass, attracted to sound and motion without regard for other factors. You will serve effectively as targets to spread out their attacks." Durango has arrived. "ARRRGH! ZOMBIES!" Sinnertwin shouts as he runs into the safehouse. "AAARGH! AUTOBOTS!" He spins around and stares out the door. "ZOMBIES!" Then back around. "AUTOBOTS!" This continues for the next five minutes. Kup had just run into the safe room, and was *just* trying to catch his cyber-breath, when he realizes it's not just Autobots and a human in here. "Decepticons!" he growls, raising his musket up at them. "You dirty slaggin' bastards." Shockwave is the first to speak to him, and Kup frowns as he considers his words carefully. "Yeah... alright. Though of course, way I see it, yer the zombie bait and not us. That gonna be a problem for you people?" he asks of the Autobots and Marissa. Foxfire is likely in front of everyone, as he can much easier follow the trail. He perks his ears at the voices behind him, sighing quietly at Sinnertwin's shouting. "That is rational on your part," replies Shockwave coolly. "The identity of the 'bait' is, naturally, relative." Fireflight stumbles in after Kup, limping slightly from a sparking wire on his leg. He freezes as he sees the Decepticons there, no doubt thinking much like Kup (Though with less internal cuss words no doubt), and leans against the wall, moving out of the way. He then stares at Sinnertwin, blinking "Uhm... there's a human too." he points out. Marissa Faireborn figures being able to drive and kill people counts as good driving. She ducks back into Durango in order to reload. The Colonel glances into the back where she has her eneron bazooka stored. Now's not the right time for it, however. "No problem here," Marissa says as she slaps in a new ammo catridge in. Sinnertwin huffs and puffs as he tries to calm himself. He looks at Fireflight and shrugs, "Ehh." But then he looks down at Foxfire.. "...Small..." Foxfire looks up at Sinnertwin, lowering his ears. "Yeah, I'm small. Your point?" Catechism slips into the area, seemingly intend on playing Solid Seeker or something, as she's being much less boisterous and combative than she usually is. Perhaps the situation has simply shaken her up, as if she refuses to really accept what she's seen here and now. She murmurs lowly, "Perhaps we should investigate that powerplant?" She points to some graffiti. Kup nods at Marissa. "Good. 'Course, goes without saying we don't trust these slagging bastards for a second," he says very much within earshot of the Decepticons. "But for now, they're extra guns. Ok... I see somebody left some kinda fuel here..." He lifts up a can of something from the table, and cracks it open. "What the?" Kup says, looking surprised. "It's energon. Gee, Shockwave, it's almost like the Decepticons have been here for some time," he mutters. Sharkticon follows Shockwave and the others into the next area. An arm from one of the zombies is dangling from his jaws. His beady yellow eyes glitter with hunger as he gnaws slowly on the detached limb. Kup then gulps the can down without further ado. Fireflight looks at Foxfire, then Sinnertwin and sighs. THen Gnaw walks in. He stares now, and steps a little further away, gun aimed at the door. Just in case. He then looks to Kup "What's the plan then?" "Tiny," Sinnertwin whispers. "Miniature. Compact. /Travel size/..." He reaches up and grabs the sides of his face, digging his fingers against it and dragging them down. "OHGODICAN'THANDLETHIS." Catechism turns to Sinnertwin and snaps, "Get a grip on yourself, man! They're just horrible monsters made by science gone awry! It's not like anything actually scary, like /Dinobots/." She tries to reach out to grab the Terrorcon and shake him. Catechism succeeds in grasping Sinnertwin, throwing him off-balance. Fireflight coughs, hiding a snicker at Catechism. Do not laugh in front of Decepticons, at decepticons. Foxfire just stares at Sinnertwin, then Catechism, then sighs and wanders back to his comrades. "I want off this planet." Kup wipes his mouth off with the back of his hand. "I dunno. Was plannin' just to let Foxfire track that scent to wherever it leads. As for that powerplant... eh..." He squints at the graffiti. "The guy who wrote probably thought it would be a safe place. No way 'a tellin' if this subway leads to it, though." Monsters he can handle. You can hit them in the face. Dinobots are easy. You can just run really fast. Tapes..Tapes were different. Tapes were always there, always sneaking around under your feet, ducking between your ankles, brushing up against your knees. They were tiny. They could be anywhere. They were always scheming. Always. Sinnertwin begins sputtering and whimpering when Catechism shakes him like a redheaded step child. Catechism is not aware that Sinnertwin is actually afraid of Foxfire and not the zombies. If she was, she'd be severely confused. She barks, rather like some sadistic drill sergeant in boot, "Focus man, focus! There might be a Matrix out here, and we need to find it for..." she glances over at Kup, "...for the good of the Transformer species." Clearly. "We don't know about the powerplant - we don't really know /anything/ here." Marissa Faireborn's rifle is ready to go for another round. The Colonel follows the conversation from within the Autbot SUV as the Decepticons and Autobots 'get along with one another'. Science gone awry. Typical Decepticon crap. She keeps the natural retort she would have given in check, though, for the sake of not getting everyone killed. Marissa agrees with Kup - there's no trusting Decepticons. "That is classified information," replies Shockwave to Kup. He does not take one of the fuel cans. He has his reactor. "I admit that I have not been here very much longer than the rest of you. I am uncertain of the details of the city layout myself. However, if there was a plan to meet at the power plant, or at 'parkervale,' it stands to reason those locations may have survivors, and therefore more information about our true objective, which I believe we can all concur is the Matrix of Leadership." Fireflight glances to Kup then, his laughing fit ended. He then nods and looks back at the door "... If I go fast enough, I could probalby hit the skies and do a scout for the power plant. From above I could probably tell if it was attacked or not." he notes. Focus. Focus. Focus. Sinnertwin tries to think about something else. He thinks about eating. He thinks about sinking his teeth into...into..He looks around. Okay, he thinks about sinking his teeth into Fireflight. The Terrorcon manages to stiffle his sobs and calm down. "Y-yes, sir," he mumbles to..Catechism. Foxfire sniffs around some more. "The scent is still strong...but I've also got the scent of those zombies outside. It's drifting in here...ugh..." Kup spots a zombie reaching its arms in through the door to the next room, and punches its face in through the window. "I dunno about that, Fireflight. This next section's underground. But if you wanna check out that power plant, go ahead. But do it from the air only. It's the only way you'll avoid gettin' swamped by these bastards. Then maybe if I'm feelin' nice we'll let the Decepticons know what we found there. Well. We better get going. Yeah, I know, Foxfire. It's gotta be rough. But we gotta keep pressin' on." Kup removes a makeshift latch on the door made out a plumbing pipe, and throws it to the ground. Then, he kicks the door open into the next area. Loading... You move to the Tazma IV - Subways. Tazma IV - Subways A dark and lengthy system of subway tunnels, leading to who knows where. It may be safer than going above ground, but judging from how badly infested it is with zombies, that may not be saying much. The area is barely lit in gloomy emergency lights, and derailed subway cars occasionally block the tracks, making navigation of the terrain very difficult. There is a bit of hope, though. Someone was helpful enough to spraypaint more signs leading to the next safehouse. Obvious exits: Tunnel Out leads to Tazma IV - Safehouse II. Up leads to Tazma IV - Safehouse. Marissa Faireborn arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Marissa Faireborn has arrived. Foxfire arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Foxfire has arrived. Gnaw arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Gnaw has arrived. (Note: At this point Fireflight and Catechism split off to investigate the power plant.) Marissa Faireborn hops out of Durango's driver (right) side now that the trek has gone underground. The Colonel walks past the table and looks at the graffiti someone sprayed here. He wonders what happened to them all. "Any idea what sins they're talking about?" she asks. "Decepticons have never struck me as the sort who want forgiveness for their actions." She then follows the others into the subway systems. Shockwave arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Shockwave has arrived. Fireflight arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Fireflight has arrived. You drop Zombie Troop. Catechism arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Catechism has arrived. Kup steps out onto a stairway. Everywhere zombies are milling about aimlessly. Kup pulls out his musket and starts capping them one by one. BEFORE kup locks the door, Flight nods and straightens. Inhaling carefully, he pushes the door open, transforms, and dissapears outside in a blaze of engines to raise higher than the Zombies could go. Obvious exits: Tunnel Out leads to Tazma IV - Safehouse II. Up leads to Tazma IV - Safehouse. Sinnertwin arrives from the Tazma IV - Safehouse. Sinnertwin has arrived. XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms into robot form. Catechism's feet unfold, her arms unfold out of her body, her nosecone rotates through her body and ends up on her body, and her wings rotate into position at her hips. Foxfire snarls at the sight of the zombies. He crouches like a predator ready to pounce, then lunges, snapping his jaws at a zombie as he attempts to latch onto it. Foxfire strikes Zombie Troop with Bite. "Any thoughts on the best way to incapacitate them?" Marissa asks as she begins blasting at the zombies as they mill about aimlessly. The Colonel stands by Kup's left leg, using it as cover. Hopefully the old timer won't step on her by accident, though. XF-35B Astral Lightning isn't actually in the subway. She's really up in the air, doing more 'eye in the sky' work. It'll be hard to radio those down in the subway, due to interference, but it's good to have someone topside to keep tabs on zombie movements... and to be left alive to relay the message that the others never made it back, if it comes to that. It just might. Kup growls as he puts a laser blast right between a zombie's eyes, "In all my experience fightin' zombies, one lesson's always done me well. And that's aim for the head." Fireflight rises as high as possible, instantly forgetting about Catechism if she was following him. He glides about, starting on long distance scans first as he circles outwards, seeking out what might look like a Powerplant. Sinnertwin pulls his grenade launcher out and prepares to unleash a fusillade of DESTRUCTION upon the zombies, but watching Foxfire do anything send him into a dizzy spell. He faints. The Sharkticon once again finds himself surrounded in yummy food. Well, at least he thinks so. Everybody with half a processor knows Zombies are just empty minerals. Gnaw misses Zombie Troop with his claw attack. "Head it is," Marissa says. She readjusts her aim and begins shooting the zombies in the noggin. Movies had always told her that zombies couldn't be stopped unless you physically prevented them from being able to move (ie, blow off all their limbs), but those movies didn't have /robot/ zombies so it's a whole different ball game. Marissa Faireborn misses Zombie Troop with her Rifle attack. Shockwave methodically caps zombies in the dome. Pop, pop, pop. Shockwave has a high headshot percentage. Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Ultraviolet. Durango says, "Ah'm gyne ta look fah sahm sahpplies," his dialect rendering what he said almost unintelligible. Thus, no one knows exactly what he's up to, leaving him free to wander off from the main group. This, by the way, is always a bad idea in a zombie apocalypse, and the instant he's out of view of the others SOMETHING snakes a long, disgusting tongue around his torso and pulls him off to Primus knows where. "Ah, shaht!" Durango cries. Will he survive!? Well, yes, but he'll be horribly injured in the process. XF-35B Astral Lightning can't see Sinnertwin faint, which is good, because she's have to smack him if she did. She isn't exactly following Fireflight, though she does keep tabs on his location in the air. She doesn't want him running into her! It's a bit odd to share airspace with an Aerialbot and not shoot at him, but zombies make life difficult in so many unexpected ways. Hmm, powerplant. Is it over here? The fliers should notice a very large structure, which certainly fits the description of a power plant, on the outskirts of the city. Its lights appear to be on, and the roads leading to it appear to be barricaded. Badly, anyway--something smashed those barricades aside. Fireflight banks sharply, clipping a few dangling wires from a telephone pole on the way as he weaves btween two tall powerline-towers, streaking closer to the Powerplant. He slows, almost hovering right over it as he scans it carefully... Then circles lower - not too low of course, but he carefully does so, trying to see inside windows. Shockwave notices Durango wander off but doesn't care. Pop, pop, shooting zombie heads. Kup scowls at Shockwave as he makes seemingly effortless headshots. Hax, obviously. "Alright, that's the last of 'em. Let's move on." Moving down the stairs, Kup wanders down into the rail lines. "Geeeze. What a fraggin' mess," he says, looking at a derailed subway car. Foxfire hurries after Kup. He slinks along the side of the derailed train, examining it closely. "What in the world happened to this place...?" "Evidently the process was not instantaneous," says Shockwave in his dry, pedantic way, "but rather a healthy population rapidly overwhelmed. There are many signs of resistance and normal infrastructure and social behaviors interrupted." Zombie Troop mills about in this area, too. However, there's a very very special zombie down here. It almost got Sinnertwin previously. Yes, it's the bloated, fat zombie! And just as Kup and Foxfire clear a corner, it tries to barf all over the little tape! Zombie Troop strikes Foxfire with Smash. Oh, no! After the fat zombie barfed on Foxfire, dozens of zombies are making a mad dash for him to beat his face in! Grimlock has arrived. Foxfire is covered in zombie barf! "This is DISGUSTING!" he complains as he lifts up a paw, making a face at the slimy sustance dripping from it. As more zombies rush at him, he crouches again, alarmed, ears lowered and tail raised. "KUP, HELP!" "Good plan," Marissa tells Durango, knowing that this is the only way to get him out of the scene. Marissa is having difficulty drawing a bead on the zombies. While she's liable to hit /someone/ in the crowd, getting head shots is easier said than done. Except for Shockwave, of course, but Shockwave's a dick. "Don't you guys have communications on this planet?" she asks the walking calculator in between shots. "So they could call for help once all this starts going down?" "Something is interfering with long-range communications," replies Shockwave. "There is a great deal of radio static here that I have not yet identified." Shockwave just walks through the zombie swarm as it rushes for Foxfire and keeps on going. It doesn't even notice him. They're frenzied by the fat-zombie puke! The aerialbot may notice someone desperately pounding on a window at the powerplant, and looking imploringly at Fireflight. And even with the sounds of battle and zombie groaning (and barfing), a voice can be heard somewhere distant- and muffled. "HEY! HEY! WHAT HAPPEN!? ME GRIMLOCK KNOW YOU OUT THERE!" Shockwave is not going to get Back 2 Help anytime soon, clearly. Kup snarls as he launches himself in a diving tackle at the zombies swarming Foxfire, trying to knock them off like bowling pins. "Get offa him!" he yells. You have set the custom name for attack smash in mode 1 to "Tackle." You strike Zombie Troop with Tackle. The Sharkball finds his prey is not going down so easy...either inside him, or outside. So he takes a run at them, rolling into a ball and barreling forward towards the swarming mass of undead (?) robots. Zombie 4, corner pocket? As if Gnaw knows how to play Pool. Gnaw strikes Zombie Troop with crush. Shockwave's head swivels this way and that at the sound. Hmm. If the zombies got Grimlock that would be ideal... but no, that's extremely unlikely. Grimlock could walk the length and breadth of this city with zombies hanging off of him and remain more or less unharmed. He must just be trapped or lost. Shockwave heads off towards the sound, opening closet doors. Foxfire stares with wide optics as Kup tackles the zombies. "Kup...!" He shakes himself, attempting to free himself of the grotesque substance covering him. "Thanks!" He is still clearly frightened, and attempting to stay away from the zombies even as Kup handles them. Marissa Faireborn doesn't get an answer but she figures it's rhetorical anyway. Decepticons aren't all that big on safety procedures anyway. When the Colonel sees Foxfire get swarmed by vomiting zombies, she begins focusing her fire in that direction, though she has to be careful to avoid striking either Kup or the Cassettibot. She wishes she hadn't let Durango leave with her bazooka. The combination of pool, bowling, and skeet shooting appears to be too much for the zombies swarming Foxfire, and they are all promptly knocked off of him, with just a few stragglers here and there. But it's not over yet! Just as Shockwave opens the closet containing Grimlock, a zombified Seeker sneaks around a pillar and tries to pounce the military commander! Fireflight banks sharply, coming closer... now dangerously close as he banks past the window a second time, then up and around, scanning the rooftop overhead. Then he drops his nosecone - forgoeing telling the others about THIS. He likes getting yelled at for being stupid in one neat package, not in several small packages. Transforming, he lands hard on the roof, rolling into it and scraping up his armor. Zombie Troop misses Shockwave with its Punch attack. There's some loud screaming down below in the powerplant! Is it coming from the survivor... or the zombies? "Hellloooooo?! Me Grimlock stuck in here!" And some pounding commences- should one look, the pounding seems to be coming from...behind an abandoned subway. "Stupid train get in me way!" Kup nods at Foxfire. "No problem, lad." Then, he gives Marissa an odd look. "Ya know... I ain't seen them attack you, yet, Colonel. I dunno if that's because yer organic, or because you ain't makin' enough noise to draw 'em to ya." Shockwave spins towards the sudden 'EEEEEEEEAGH' the Seeker lets out as it comes rushing towards him, cocks back his right hand, and slams it in the face as it's mid-leap. It staggers back and he blasts it twice in the chest, leaving it smoking against a wall. Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Infrared. Foxfire paws at an ear. "I think it might *be* because Marissa's organic. They only seem interested in us mechs." He abruptly blinks at Grimlock's voice. "...Uh. Should we let him in?" "Maybe I should walk on into them and see if they crush me," Marissa says jokingly. She then pauses awkwardly. She coughs, "Yeah, let Grimlock in. If he's been turned into a zombie then we're all screwed anyway." "The human contains no fuel," says Shockwave, scanning around for anywhere else Grimlock might be. He wasn't in that supply closet after all. Fireflight flinches at the sound and first, runs to the edge where the window was, peering down. He keeps his gun in his hands, somewhat nervous now as he tries to lean over enough to see in the window without actually falling over the side. Fireflight says, "BREAK THE WINDOW!" Fireflight shouts that down. There's a very loud smashing noise at the powerplant, and glass falls out the side of it. XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms and lands on the roof with considerably greater grace. She inquires of the Aerialbot, "Now what are you up to, Autobot? Do you think there might be a scource of information inside? I mean.,.. a survivor?" She static-coughs. XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms into robot form. Catechism's feet unfold, her arms unfold out of her body, her nosecone rotates through her body and ends up on her shoulders to expose her face, and her wings rotate into position. Fireflight keeps his optics below and nods. He then takes a risky move, stepping onto the edge, then glances at Catechism, scowling a little "I'm busy! Ask me later!" he notes, urgency in his voice as he jumps off the edge and falls... LAnding with a hard crash below. Dropping to ak nee, he aims his weapon up "Jump out! I'm down here and I can fly us out!" he calls up. Kup chuckles at Marissa. "Yeah, that's one experiment we probably shouldn't try. Now let's go find Grimlock." Stomping deeper into the subways, he calls out, "GRIMLOCK! Where the frag are ya?" Finally, Shockwave opens the RIGHT door- (Maybe he had a chess piece or a jewel or something-) and out comes Grimlock! Or, rather, out comes Grimlock's double-blaster, which he promptly shoves into Shockwave's face. "Hnnn. You no Kup!...You no zombie guy, either. You Shockwave tell me Grimlock what happen, or me splode you face!' Foxfire points his paw. "I think he's behind the train--" A pause. "...Oh. There he is." He bounds over. "Grimlock! Good thing you're here! Hey, can you bash these zombies for us?" "The Autobots are that way," replies Shockwave coolly, pointing behind himself. "They will be gratified to see you. They have arrived seeking the Matrix of Leadership and, as we did, discovered the planet is overrun with zombies." Marissa Faireborn opens her mouth to point out to Grimlock that Shockwave has no face, but then figures that isn't going to help anything right now and so keeps it to herself. "Next time we fight those buggers I'll pay more attention to whether they notice me or not," she promises. "If we need someone to head back and get the shuttle or something I might be the best one to go if that's the case." o/~ DUNNN. DUN DUN! DUNNN. DUN DUN! o/~ The ground in the subway starts shaking like crazy, and something is making a horrible, throaty roar. Eh, it's probably nothing, right? Catechism scowls as Fireflight says he's busy and then jumps off a roof. She shouts after him, "If you're so busy, you could let me know with /what/, and I might be able to help!" Help the Autobots all the way to the Matrix, grab it, and run. She jumps over the side of roof, too. She have anti-gravs. No worries here! Back at the powerplant, meanwhile, a robotic figure jumps out... followed by a swarm of zombies! "Oh. Hnn." Grimlock says, and glances past Shockwave. "So this one of them times we no fight 'cuz of other stuff? Hnn." and he shoves his way past Shockwave- and glances around. "Hey Kup! Me Grimlock get, uh...lost before." he says. "Train get in-" And then there's the matter of the big roar, and Grimlock pauses. "...That not me Grimlock." he notes. "Fine! Shoot those zombies so we can get a survivor!" Fireflight directs Catechism. Then he runs to where the guy was, firing at the zombies. He transforms, rolling up alongside him "Jump on and hold on with a DEATH GRIP." he coaches urgently, feeling a slight pain on his tailfin. The moment the mech was secured, he hits his afterburners, leaping forwards just ahead of the zombies, spoilers lifting the aerialbot up as steeply as he dared with this heavy load. Kup nods at Marissa. "That's some good thinkin'. Wouldn't wanna have to backtrack through all this slag." Then he appears behind Shockwave's shoulder. "Uh, yeah, nice to meet you Grimlock. Yeah, we're working with him for now." Then he frowns at hearing the shaking noise. "Uh. No. And I don't think there's any other Dino's here... oh geeze..." Gnaw continues to plow through the Zombies, chomping and chomping like a little spikey Pac-Man on a Power Pellet. *Wakka wakka wakka wakka...bloop bloop* Gnaw misses Zombie Troop with his drain attack. Shockwave rotates towards the sound. His chest glows as he pumps his reactor and raises his cannon arm. "It is something new. Prepare yourselves." Foxfire waves his paw, gesturing for everyone to be quiet. He perks his ears, listening closely. "Doesn't *sound* like any of the Dinobots..." He digs his claws into the ground, feeling the shaking. "I'm gonna see if I can find out what that is." He starts to head deeper into the subway. Marissa Faireborn nods to Grimlock, "Yeah one of those times again." She's long since gotten used to it. It took many years for it to happen, though. Suddenly there's shaking, and Marissa grips her rifle again. She isn't planning on shooting, though. She's planning on testing that theory of Kup's. Kup yells, "No, Foxfire, don't split away from the group!" But it's already too late! Foxfire runs right into a MASSIVE zombified Decepticon, running towards him, and using its forearms like a gorilla's as it moves. It looks much like a recolored version of Brawl, albeit pumped with steroids. "GRAAAAHHHHH!" it screams, throwing a wild but heavy punch at the tape. Zombie Troop misses Foxfire with its Blade attack. Grimlock hnnns, and follows after the others- he glances around with impassive eyes at the zombiefied crowds- occasionally snapping off the occasional laser blast at an inconveniently plased bad-guy. "Hnnn. Me Grimlock no think matrix on this planet." he says, slamming a new energy battery into his gun. "Just sayin'." Grimlock strikes Zombie Troop with Zappo!. Catechism shoots at the zombies, as instructed. She has fairly good aim, though she looks over at Fireflight and mutters, "That death grip may be truer than you know..." What id that 'victim' is infected, about to begin a horrible transformation? Catechism strikes Zombie Troop with Taser. "Your contribution is noted," replies Shockwave, who has his own theories. He backpedals swiftly from Foxfire, shooting at the monster's head. Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Ultraviolet. Back at the powerplant, the survivor nods and desperately hangs on for dear life. Zombies drop off after Fireflight and the survivor, but Catechism's and Fireflight's combined firepower makes short work of most of them. Fireflight lifts off slowly, wobbling a little in midair. He focuses though on flying as he starts up into the sky "... I dont know of any safe places to land." he reports then "so we'll stay up here... " he tips a little, to keep near Catechism, too loaded to do much maneuvering or shooting "What happened here??" Foxfire yelps and ducks away form the zombie that attacks him, scurrying back to the others. "Okay, bad idea!" Catechism transforms and tails after Fireflight. She replies with a snort, "What happened here? Ask your new buddy!" Fireflight errrs "I /was/ asking him." he notes. XF-35B Astral Lightning transforms into robot form. Catechism's feet unfold, her arms unfold out of her body, her nosecone rotates through her body and ends up on her body, and her wings rotate into position at her hips. A new swarm of regular zombies charges towards the Transformers, and Kup turns and begins firing on them. However, they run right by Marissa, though they don't seem to try and avoid stepping on her, either. Meanwhile, the tank appears to have identified Grimlock as the toughest guy in the area, and charges right at him, aiming to knock him down with a shoulder. It is hit in the head by Shockwave's blast, and that causes it to catch on fire. Zombie Troop misses Grimlock with its Blade attack. "Me Marissa starting to agree with Grimlock about the Matrix!" Marissa calls out as Foxfire runs into zombie issues. Luckily Grimlock is there to blast them away, and Foxfire ducks. "Kup's right, we've got to stick together. The next person to say something along the lines of 'lets splti up, gang', gets a-" the Colonel is cut off, however, as more zombies swarm in. She raises her rifle, but forces herself not to fire. Lets test out that theory. It is a tense moment with clenched teeth as the zombies... run right past her, not even slowing down. She has to tuck and roll to the side to avoid getting trampled, in fact, but it's clear they don't care about her. Back at the powerplant, the survivor rambles something about, "Madmind!" and "He... did it all! With his evil device!" What's this? Poor little Shark no get breakfast today? Yup, looks like the Zombies snatched themselves right out of Gnaw's mouth. The disappointd Sharkticon lashes out with his tail. Gnaw strikes Zombie Troop with slash. You strike Zombie Troop with Musket Laser. Shockwave sidesteps, taking cover behind a subway roof pillar to fire at the flaming tank-zombie's back while he takes a radio message. Fireflight twitches his wings "Where is he now? What device? " he asks, trying to keep his voice calm "Just calm down. I wont let you get eaten by them." he promises. "Haw haw haw! You zombie DUMB!" Grimlock neatly palms the Brawl-zombie's forehead, halting its charge! "Me Grimlock smash you now!" he says- and just *SQUEEEZES* down on it. Gotta aim for the head, right? "Kup!" Grimlock yells, tossing the Brombie aside. "Me Grimlock no like this planet!" Shockwave strikes Zombie Troop with Ultraviolet. Grimlock strikes Zombie Troop with SMOOSH. XF-35B Astral Lightning flies alongside Fireflight, easily keeping pace and matching him move for move. She's trained for it. She encourages, voice soft and oddly lulling, "Yes, where might this device be?" Kup yells, "I know, Grimlock, I'm not a big fan of it either!" as he backs up deeper into the subways. "Look!" he says, pointing at some graffiti leading into a sideroom. "Must be another safehouse up ahead, let's keep moving, people!" He waits at the entrance, capping zombies as he waits for the others to get in. The tank stumbles towards Grimlock as it takes a potshot in the back, and manages to get grabbed on the head. As insanely powerfuly as it is, its cranium isn't quite strong enough to withstand that much pressure. It lets out a low groan as its head caves in. Foxfire's turbofox instincts want him to flee. He ignores them. "No splitting up from me!" he remarks to Marissa. "I learned not to do that the hard way!" Marissa Faireborn slowly lowers her rifle as the zombies fail to go after her. Either they don't consider her a threat, or, more likely, they don't care about organics. "What's the plan here, Kup?" she calls out. "Are we getting out of here or what?" She jogs to keep up with the others, and despite the horrible situation they're all in, can't help but grin at Foxfire. The survivor Fireflight saved says, "It... he called it a Matrix! Said it would keep us from dying, forever. But this isn't what we were thinking of! It was a curse, not a blessing! Everyone that died rose up and tried to kill more people! It was a never-ending cycle... and you want to know where that bastard is? He's up there, in the top floor of that hospital!" He points off in the distance at a towering structure. Fireflight grunts a little, murmering into his radio as he banks slowly towards the Hospital, starting to circle closer to see what might be visible from there. THen he states softly "Good intentions lead to hell..." almost to himself. THen he asks "I dont think you personally want to go and face him. Is there a safe place I can put you down?" Shockwave heads for the safehouse before the tank zombie has even stopped moving, as soon as Kup points it out. Kup squints at a nearby subway sign, then he says to Marissa, "We keep followin' this route! It'll lead us to this hospital, I think. Everyone, let's get inside!" Fireflight says, "I can also take you up to our Shuttle... you will be safe there I know." Fireflight moves to the Tazma IV - Safehouse II. Fireflight has left. Shockwave moves to the Tazma IV - Safehouse II. Shockwave has left. You move to the Tazma IV - Safehouse II. This room is much like the last safehouse. Another table is set up here with more ammo and supplies, and the solid steel doors helpfully keep out the clawing zombies, however much they try to reach in through the windows, and even through small holes in the walls. There's a few more spraypainted ramblings and advice from some of the previous occupants of this place: YOUR ALL GOIN TO DIE The Decepticons said they would save us, but they caused this! THEIR IS NO HOAP. NUKE THE PLANIT FROM ORBET Contents: Shockwave Fireflight Obvious exits: Alley to Hospital
