Three minutes before Axiom crash Oh scrap, oh scrap, oh scrap. Gateway said to himself repeatedly as he he headed to the emergency escape pods. He was stressing because he had left his vital equipment back in his personal quarters. He wasn't sure it's was capable of getting to him in time, it's automation could easily be damaged by the ships state. He had to go back and get it.
Approximately an hour and a half after impact Some burning wreckage fell onto the unconscious body of Gateway. The hit had woken him up from his poorly timed sleep. Did I make it out? Am I... No I'm not. I'm still in the ship, or what's left of it. Might as well look around if I'm stranded, could fix something He pushed the metal off of himself and stood up, Gateway was damaged, but mostly just his armor getting damaged, although one of his legs did get damaged, giving him a notable limp. Gateway gave himself a quick check up, he had managed to get his personal equipment, but his advanced hud had a crack in it, resulting in fuzzy visuals around it. Gateway was thinking of what needed to activate first, and given that he was more computer oriented, not so much with mechanical engineering, he should get automated repairs going, it was something he could fix and would be a major help. Now, I need to get to a repair console, if the ship is going to get fixed, this is the way about it. Gateway headed off to the nearest console. As he reached he realised that no lights had been on, neither have been self sealing doors, and the console was even off. The Synth-fuel Reactor was offline. He had to repair that before all else. He transformed and drove as quickly as he could to the Main Reactor. It wasn't to horrible when he could see the Reactor itself. The core had fallen out of place, ripping several pipes out of their sockets and tearing them. Gateway entered the Reactor chamber. At least this is simple and I can actual fix the broken power conduits. Now, to get that core back in place. Gateway shoved the reactor in vain, it was simply to large and heavy for him to move back. He had to find some emergency hoses to replace the damaged piping and allow the ship to be powered, even with the core like this. Gateway gathered the emergency hoses and completely removed the damaged piping and replaced them. After a careful examination of the core and pipes he reactivated the Synth-fuel Reactor. Well that's done. Now I need to get that auto repair running. Gateway returned to a console and turned it on. He checked the ship's current statistics. This isn't good, I have a long road to hoe. But I can at least start. Gateway activated the automated repair. It was fixing itself as Gateway made his way to the bridge of the Axiom. When he made it he examined the Avacon communication hub. It was damaged and he would have to rewire it, but that could result either complete non-functionality, no longer being a secure message system, no longer have anyone actually connected to the system. But Gateway knew he had to anyways, he was pretty sure of what he was doing anyways. After he repairs the communication hub he sends out a message down planetside. I'm Gateway, I'm stranded on this planet's moon, my ship is under repair and I need to locate my team, if you have any way to help, please reply to this message. After sending this message, he returned to investigating the state of the Axiom.

Having snuck away from the Autobot base, Thrasher had taken a shuttle and a warp bridge from Earth to the Axiom. He had heard Gateway's message and had sent a ping for a shuttle immediately. The large mech was now striding through the corridors. His optics and energy veins shifted back to red as he moved, he was resuming his normal appearance. The last thing to change was his Avacon insignia re-emerging on his armor.
Walking out to Gateway, Thrasher raised a servo ahead of him and spoke.
Gateway! Well done, you have ensured we have a base of operations now. We must quickly gather the team up again and resume our mission. Please ensure all of our remaining shuttles are operational.

By the time Thrasher had arrived to greet Gateway, the majority of the Axiom had been repaired. All of the ship was functional except for the defences and the AI core. Due to the wiring needing to be redone, the auto repairs cannot repair the damaged systems. The past few chambers of the Axiom are being repaired now.
Yes sir, though some of the shuttles were scavenged for metal for unsalvagelable areas. I have not explored the entire ship however, it's integrity is based off of internal scans. The path to Ichor's lab is cleared. Gateway said to Thrasher with full confidence until the last sentence as the situation dawned on him. The Bio-Lab was in one of the most heavily damaged parts of the ship. To make the fiasco worse was that it was filled with thousands of corrosive substances and lethal viruses. The Bio-Lab is certainly compromised, but we can't investigate or clense the area because of the dangers. We either need to find Ichor or get hazard protection gear. Gateway was shaking by now. He walked to a console and ran a bio scan for micro organisms. As the scan ran Gateway transformed and drove to a shuttle bay. He mumbled to himself about all that could go wrong now.

The Axiom's systems reported a heavy contamination of the entire bio-lab area. Hundreds of dangerous plagues and chemicals were out in the open inside and around the lab, making it a bio-hazard of extreme levels. As a precaution, the Axiom sealed off the contaminated areas and required a unlock from Thrasher.
Thrasher received a flare ping, he quickly programmed the Warp bridge before going down to the shuttle bays himself. Choosing the most pristine shuttle, Thrasher boarded it and powered up the engines. A warp bridge opened at the end of the hangar, ready for him to fly through as soon as the shuttle was ready.

The Axiom's biohazard results blipped onto Gateway's HUD. Oh frag, this just had to happen, at least we have another person coming in. He went to a computer and ran a diagnostic on all of the shuttles. All good. He commed Thrasher. All's good commander. You can go on your way. He ended communication. Now I can relax and know I'm not going to die at any moment

::Very well, keep things stable on this end, Gateway. :: Thrasher commed Gateway, before flying the shuttle through the warp-bridge to the skies near the flare he had picked up. In any event, he would have another one of his men back.

::Of course, Thrasher:: Gateway said as he stepped into one of the many drone bays. He examined one of the Raider Drones. He thought to himself, the AI core is offline, I could so easily just take one. This was too easy, but also just as true. Might as well, no one would care anyways, we rarely use these things. He dragged the drone from its spot. He tugged the machine all the way to his quarters. He cut it's chest with his lasers and opened it up. Gateway plugged his tentacle into it's central processor. Time to remove the one thing preventing me before... Gateway began to reprogram the Raider Drone. He deleted it's tethering to the central AI core and reset it to his own systems. He disconnected his tentacle from it. There we go. He sealed the chest with the laser once again and scooted the drone into the corner of his quarters. He then received a ping from Thrasher to start back up the warp bridge. He transformed and throttled down the corridors to an empty shuttle hangar. As he arrived he switched back and enabled the warp at Thrasher's location. He then stepped into the hangar ready to greet Thrasher and the other Avacon.

Thrasher's shuttle appeared from the portal at the end of the hangar. It quickly began docking procedures and secured itself to the Axiom's hangar. Soon afterwards, the hatch opened, and both Thrasher and Ichor stepped out and saw Gateway. Ichor, quickly went off his own ways, hurrying to the repair bay for some maintenance to his ventilation and vocoder systems. Thrasher however stood still, and looked back into the shuttle.
Gateway, we have a new recruit. Ensure the reformatting chamber is ready, then prepare a report of any current problems within the Axiom. I will take care of the newcomer.

The shuttle came through the Warp Bridge. Breech and Hotwire had used Ground and Space bridges, but it was a VERY long time since she'd gone through a full-on Warp Bridge, and she'd forgotten how bad it could be if you weren't used to it.
The other mechs watch as she crumples off her seat and onto her knees. She baulks for a few seconds, before her systems purge black oil from her mouth.
Then Hotwire slips in and she purges a second time, the rest of the thick oils in her gut. No Energon, but it doesn't look any less messy or painful for that. She manages to bite back a whimper.

Gateway watched the shuttle pull through the warp bridge and land. He deactivated the bridge and stood straight as he waited for Thrasher and the recruit. As he stood he could hear the faint but familiar sound of a bot clensing their systems after a warp. The shuttle opened and he watched Ichor rush past. Thrasher then explained to him what he was to do. On my way sir, they'll be ready in no time. I hope the recruit knows how... extensive the reformation is. Gateway exited the room, feeling uneasy about his unauthorized comendering of a drone. He rushed to the reformation chambers and started one up. He hadn't seen one running for quite some time. Gateway then commed Thrasher. ::The reformation chamber is running, any bugs I find I'll have fixed before you arrive. I will also prepare the report now as well.:: He checked the reformation chamber for any issues, which there were none. He then ran a full ship diagnostic.

By now, Breech/Hotwire is standing up carefully and wiping some of the oil off her mouth. She's tough enough to get over purging, but that doesn't make it something she'd be eager to do again.
She'll need a refuelling shortly, but hopefully it won't happen again.
"So I suppose now I get to meet the rest of the pack, huh?" she jokes.

Thrasher shook his helm slowly, frowning slightly. The mech put his servos behind his back, and exvented. The Axiom had only been recently repaired to the state it was in, and there were bound to be automated repair systems wandering corridors on their railings across the entire station. And the majority of the team was still scattered across Earth.
Afraid not, It's only the ones you've seen now that are year. The rest are scattered around Earth for the moment.

"Fair enough..."
Hotwire moves away from her mess she's made. A cleaning drone is wiping it up.
"So, you were saying about this... reformation?"

Gateway received the final report. The ship was nearly fully structurally repaired. Some rooms and corridors still needed heavy repair. The bio lab, one room near it, and the corridor it was on were all quarantined. The central AI core was inactive. The defences were down. And much of the wiring was damaged.
Gateway stared at the screen as the data flooded across the screen. This was bad because the majority of it couldn't be repaired by the automatic repair systems. Gateway relayed the data to Thrasher. ::The ship isn't doing well for the time that has passed. Luckily we should have the ship in good condition by the time the recruit is done reformating.:: He then returned to the reformation chamber and opened it and stood by, waiting for Thrasher.

Thrasher waved for her to follow as he began to walk down a corridor. He kept his stride somewhat slow so that she could keep up after having purged oil like she did. Up ahead, robotic arms were welding components together inside an open section of wall. The plasma welders they used gave the area a rich blue glow. Thrasher was used to them by now, having seen them hundreds of times before.
When someone is reformatted, their body is changed heavily, even alt-modes can change. You will have access to personalize your new body, from colors, to new abilities such as cloaking or personal shielding, to becoming a truck if it was your desire. You will now have full control over what you are both mentally and physically. Thrasher said to the femme, leading down the corridors.

She follows him, and her rotors rattle a little, "Can't imagine why we'd ever want to be a Ground-Pounder," she mutters.
"Unless you were slumming it," Breech chips in.
"Shut up," Hotwire returns her attention to thrasher as they approach the reformation chamber, "It's not... painful, right?"

No, not painful at all. You will be put into stasis-lock for the duration of the procedure. I will monitor the systems and stop them should the unlikely error occur. Thrasher said as he led them into the repair bay. Inside were rows of berths equipped for rest and recovery, a series of stations for automated or manual repairs, and at the end was a machine resembling a human cremation oven. Gateway standing beside it, waiting for Thrasher.
As Thrasher led them to the large machine, he reached and activated the holo-screen for the machine, then set the femme as the target individual. She was quickly scanned by a lens resting on the machine, and her schematics appeared on the holo-screen. Thrasher stepped aside to let the femme work.
Make it yours.

She starts flicking through the choices of new armaments. There's no certain way to tell how such things will end up being integrated into her systems. Just that there will be radical changes throughout her system.
But that's a lot of stuff.
Promptly, and not unexpectedly, she starts arguing - this time a rapid conversation between the two personalities. She's like two kids in a candy store, with only a limited, one person budget.
But, after several hours of arguing, she's finished her choices.
"We... we're ready..." she tells Thrasher, approaching the reformation booth. This will be the biggest change she's ever made for anybody, and her rotors are rattling significantly as she steps in.

That was interesting to watch. Never think I would see someone go through the reformation with that much confusion. I chose my stuff fairly easily. Gateway turned to Thrasher. He was very confused at what had happened. How could someone argue that well with themself? Who is this Femme and what the frag just happened?
