Can't say there really is. As for you Skyspray, I'm not sure yet. I'm gonna need to work it out after I talk with some of the human leaders...or Fowler. Good luck with Baku, Gear. Sky, if you wanna accompany him, go on ahead.

Thanks Prime, I'll report back what I can.
With that Gearchange saluted to him and began to walk to the groundbridge controls. Setting his co-ordinates and then engaging the groundbridge.

There had been a small Autobot standing off to the side just listening in. For once he didn't have much of an interjection, but that was due part that he had heard the coining of 'Deceptions' being used one time too many for him to be comfortable with.
For six years he had been in his stasis lock and for several weeks now had been searching for some hint on Optimus's whereabouts, but everything had come back negative. No signature, no signs of anything, not even framework. He was trying not to be down in this situation but it was difficult when the leader you had been following since the beginning of the war was suddenly just... gone without a trace, and now someone else was taking over.
Well... that was a matter for a different time. Right now the Decepticons were up to their old tricks again and Jazz silently wondered to himself just what advancements they'd come up with within his six years of dormancy. Afterall, he knew the name Shockwave, and if that creature of habit was running the show then there had to be some new tricks up the metaphoric sleeves of the 'Cons.
As of now he would wait, listen in, and collect data on the situation that the others were discussing.

Watch watched as Gear opened the groundbridge and left, giving the mech a nod before turning and heading over to a computer console. He began tapping at it, searching for a way to contact a human like Agent Fowler or someone else of a similar position who knew of their location. Such a task was difficult, as anyone who actually knew about the Autobots in the first place often were incredibly secretive, and contacting such people was difficult. Watch sighed a bit before looking over, seeing the other Autobot lurking around. He raised an optic ridge. The mech's file stated he was part of Team Prime. Loud, energetic, yet hearing a word out of him for the entire time since he had been revived was a novelty at best.
Hey, you there, Jazz right? Did our medic neglect to fix your voice box or something? I don't bite most people.

Jazz was busy staring off at the ground bridge that had formed and studied the mech who walked through it. He hadn't had the time to go through each of the files on this new team but he knew who that strange one was. He wasn't going to let himself work with a team when he didn't know who his superiors were, after all. Though at this point, everyone was his superior as he didn't carry his rank to this new organized little clutch.
At any rate, that one... Gearchange, one of the high commanders just under a femme Predacon. He couldn't recall her name off the chip since he had been trying not to choke on an energon supply when he read 'Predacon'. Jazz never did have luck with them in the past and he only hoped this wouldn't be one who would try to dismantle him- as the meeting outcomes usually turned into. This new team was definitely different, that was for sure.
New team.
Prowl... Inferno... Sunny... Jackie. HIS original team of little cocky misfits. Where had they gone? Were they offline as well?
Jazz... Jazz... wait, was that his inner voice?
Oh! Right, that was his designation. And no, it was someone calling him.
Jazz snapped himself from his daydream and looked around to spot the only mech who seemed to be even paying him some mind. That one was the new Prime.
'Best to acknowledge him...'
"Uh-Yeah! Vocal processor workin' just fine, as is every part of this old framework of mine! Jazz is the name, and style's my game! Gonna bring some rockin' beats to this dark corner of the planet!" He uncrossed his arms and pushed himself away from the wall, kicking his pedes out some to get the energon flowing normally again. After a step or two he paused and looked up towards the ceiling then around. "Or... just the Arc. Why IS it so dark here, anyway? Don't recall it ever bein' like this. Did ya'll not pay the bill or somethin'? Humans cut half the power to make up for it?"

Watch chuckled a bit at the mech's comment and looked up at the lights in the ceiling. He shook his helm and then returned his gaze to the mech, giving him a light shrug. At least he knew the mech wasn't mute. Surely being in stasis for six years would in fact send one a little bit loopy.
Not really. We've just been having a bit of trouble balancing power here all the time, so lights are just a bit dimmer. The Ark's not the same as when you were around before, though I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. How have you been adjusting to the new life?
Watch said, crossing his arms and bit and raising his optic ridge. He was curious about this mech. Apparently he had quite the record back in the day. One of Optimus' closest allies and friends. Watch, however, was a bit unsure of the new mech. Not to say he wasn't who the file said he was, but six years in stasis can change people.

"Give me a work or two on them controls and I'll get this old pile of scrap where she should be again. Not sayin' I'm the best one to get my servos on her work space or anythin', but I remember a thing or two from Jackie. Then again, I may just make it worse. Maybe me messin' with her ain't a good idea."
Jazz reached out and patted the wall he was near in an almost comforting manner as though providing sympathy to an old friend. In ways, she sort of was given that the Ark was the only thing still around as far as his original 'crew' went.
"She had some of the best engineers workin' on her when she was built. Man, she was a sight for the optically impaired, lemme tell ya. She was the last of her kind; flew like a dream. 'Shame that she ended up findin' her final restin' spot the same way most of the ships before her did. She may be a bit different, but all these nuts and bolts and metalwork are still the same. Probably has some of the builder's marks still on the inside workin's, too."
One more pat and then his servo left her as he turned his attention back to Watch. His visor beamed brightly for a moment as though he were registering something. In truth, it was probably just the way the lights overhead reflected off it as he shifted his weight before stepping forward. He stopped soon after moving though, not intending to get too close to this new superior. Best to read his body language first and judge just how 'friendly' this mech really was.
"It ain't really a new life, honestly. Earth's an interestin' place, which you'll find out or... you have found out- Don't know how far along with contact ya are. As far as everythin' else? Autobot oath still reigns true for me, and I'm ready to get out there and kick some more Decepticon aft."

Watch examined the mech while he was talking, keeping his arms crossed as he did so. Once he finished, though, Watch smiled and walked up, putting an arm on Jazz's shoulder and grinning at the mech.
Then in that case, welcome to the team, Jazz. I'm glad to have you aboard. Let me know if there's anything that you're going to need, okay?
Watch grinned some more, before patting Jazz on the back and then going back to his computer terminal.
Now, as for your comment on how long we've been here, it all varies. Without one big migration like the Ark, a lot of people got here at very different times. I was one of the first to get here after the original team left. Still finding more and more to this old ship. To you, it's home. To us, it's a mystery. Almost like ruins waiting to be explored...no...that's not a good analogy. More like an abandoned city. We still don't know all about it. For example, we didn't know you were around until relatively recently.

Jazz looked at the spot on his shoulder where the taller mech had patted him. In some ways it reminded him of Optimus, though in most it was a completely separate thing. This was a Prime, yes, but it wasn't the Prime he had fought alongside from the beginnings of the war. Though he had adjusted to Optimus before, so he supposed he would just do it again. Changing with the times was what he did best.
"The ambush on me happened not long after we lost Prime- er... Optumus Prime, not you Prime. I don't know what happened to my original team but from what I can figure I seem to be the last one of them left. Last mech standin' an' all! Ya just can't keep a good 'Bot down!" He grinned some, though there was a bit of a chord struck within Jazz, and it teetered on the emotion of sadness. Usually at this time Sunny would be pipin' in or Prowl would be rolling his optics. But now there was silence.

It would seem that way...though from everything we've read about them, it would seem that nothing will keep them down either. They're all good bots, and they all know their ways around. I'm sure they'll turn up at some point.
He smiled confidently at Jazz, before looking back to the computer. He had noticed a little bit of the mech's sadness. It seemed very understandable. If Watch's Autobots had been taken from him in the way that Jazz's had, he would be a bit of a mess himself.
In the meantime, we've got a lot of good bots here too. If everything I've read on your file is right, making friends should be fairly simple for you. It isn't the same, but that doesn't mean everything is over either.

Soon enough the grin faded, though it remained as a half smirk as Watchman turned his back on him to return to the computer. He had said they were good bots, but Watchman just didn't know. They were among the best and what they lacked in strength, they made up for in sheer will and determination to defeat the Decepticons...
No matter the cost. Jazz only hoped that if they were offline, they went down fighting.
"In this war, some of us make it, some of us don't. It's a nasty fact of it but ya can't avoid it. We gonna lost comrades along the way, but it's how well ya can adjust to the change that'll decided if ya sink or float." Jazz went silent for a minute as he exvented some. "No matter where they are, you have no idea what an honor it was to fight alongside them all this time. But they'd expect me to keep goin' cause that's just what I do. Like one of them battery-operated toys that them human kids have."
Jazz took a couple steps forward, pretty confident now that he wouldn't end up being shot at for being too close. He leaned around to the side of Watchman's chair, trying to get a peek at what he was doing as though it were related to his circumstance. It probably wasn't, but he was nosy anyway.
"For now I just wanna give some payback to those 'Cons who came here lookin' to pick a fight. Ya got a mission for me, Prime? Lemme at it! I got this."
Well, mentally he may have been ready, but he had just woken from an emergency stasis lock so some parts still needed a bit of stretching. But that would come during battle, he was sure.

Watchman pondered his request for a moment, before nodding and grinning.
Actually, yes, my third in command just left to go scope out a new recruit and convince him to join. You've seen some of the best that the Autobots have to offer, so you might be able to convince him. But before you go thinking this is just some stupid battle-less job, the mech is a big one. Dinobot-like even. So if he does go rogue, then you'll need to help reign him in. Not to mention, a Cybertronian that big would be a huge target for possible con involvement.
Watch then opened up another groundbridge where Gear had opened his, the bridge leading to the same place as the previous one.

"Dinobot?"
Jazz didn't even want to think of things like that. Predacons were enough for him to deal with in a lifetime, but now Dinobots as well? This was... certainly an interesting group. Next they were going to be bringing humans into their ranks or something to help them engage in battle with the Deceptions.
... Oh wait.
"Well, guess it's one way to stretch out the struts and shake off a shock or two. Any new recruit is a win for the Autobots, after all, so I don't mind."
Instead of transforming as one usually would have, Jazz casually meandered his way towards the ground bridge. It'd been a while since he had gone through one of these. He wondered to himself if they were still as turbulent as before.
Jazz turned around momentarily to halfway salute Watchman as he paused infront of the ground bridge. "Well, leave the lights on for us so... ya know... pay the bill. Humans are stingy about stuff like that. Catch ya 'round, Prime." And with that he kicked his feet off the ground, springing forward some as he tucked in and transformed, zipping through the ground bridge.

Armatum saluted the Prime goodbye. He turned to his squad and prepared to give them the order to move out when he received a ping on his visor. Words began to scroll across it.
~New orders, hmm, so no Brisban then. Pity, wanted to bag the con SiC myself~
By the way his squad was looking at him, he assumed they hadn't received the ping. And so, he relayed the orders to them.
We will no longer be going down under, no, we have orders to patrol a place called San Francisco. It's a major US city on the coast, which means it could be a potential con target.
So we ain't baggin' the con SiC?
No, updated reports say that we have enough forces there. No need in sending more.
His squad nodded and moved to the groundbridge. Armatum moved to the controls and activated one at the coordinates provided along with the orders. The green portal swirled to life and Armatum made the "move out" signal. His squad transformed into their muscle car modes and Armatum followed suit. They all revved their engines before roaring through the portal.

The bot made his way to the hall's groundbridge terminal, as he decided to go patrol a city in North America. Danny approaches the groundbridge console and thinks of the coordinates to put in. The mech takes a moment to think of the city to patrol and puts in the city's coordinates.
"Newark, New Jersey."
Danny mumbled to himself as he typed in the coordinates to Newark. A few moments later a vortex appeared that will take him to the city. The wrecker transforms, revving up before speeding through the green vortex.

Tetron, an Autobot wannabe scientist, emerged from the ground bridge. The small mech had a quizzical expression on his face as he looked at his forearm that seemed to be glowing a bright turquoise. He looked around for a moment before asking: "We do have a lab right? Because I found some weird scrap in Africa..."

"Well that's helpful..." Tetron muttered as he looked over to Vampyricon, "but thanks." He gently strode over to exit, carefully cradling his arm. Boy am I glad this isn't volatile in teleportation... he joked as he left the room.

The groundbridge frame whirred and opened up a green swirling vortex.
Gearchange was leading the team of Autobots sent after him when he went on a mission to meet with Baku.
Well, now we just wait... and hope.

A smaller green tank came out from the groundbridge and transformed into a 18ft tall mech. Skyspray still had his battlemask on and he intended to keep it that way. He looked up at the larger bot with a slight smile behind the mask.
So what do we do now? I mean, Baku seems to want to stay neutral. Say, is there anything that i should do now? Or can i go and visit Mom or go to the Arcade or something?
