"Leaving for Hong Kong, if you guys don't mind," Vampyricon said. "Gotta pick up my sisters."

Skyspray shifted a little. He had gotten a bit bored and now he actually thought of something to do. He had to visit his mother, since he hadn't seen her in a while. He quietly snuck away and exitex the room.

Gearchange was sitting back in one of the control chairs, looking over some new data checking out the reports of many of the Autobots, he wondered how Surecase, the one who lost his arm to Shadowstrike was faring.

The groundbridge activated and from the swirling green vortex walked Chiro, though her gait was strained. Her joints were already hurting and the groundbridge ride didn't help with her orientation. She paused a little ways from the groundbridge, steadying herself with one servo on the nearby wall. After letting her processor clear some, she looked around. Recognising the Arc structure, she blinked her optics a few times in confusion before slowly shaking her helm and exventing.
"It's surprising how much things change in such a short time on this planet..." She commented aloud, more to herself and anyone in particular. "Only six years..." She shook her helm again as she regained her oriention fully.
Letting go from the wall, she took slow, pained steps farther into what used to be the bridge of the Arc, continuing to look around to see how the place was set up.

Gearchange was up on the command deck, reading up on decepticon sightings and monitoring the frequency of their appearances. The mech shook his head as it was further proof for him that the Decepticons were back.

Chiro noticed someone up on the command deck and after moving to get a clearer look at who was there, she couldn't help but smile. If memory served correct, since she didn't have access to the files containing the current Autobot roster yet, it was Gearchange. However, the smile quickly disappeared and was replaced with a more concerned expression as soon as she saw him shake his helm.
"Hello, Gearchange, is something the matter?" She spoke up, making her presence known.

You must be Chiro. Replied the mech with his scottish accent.
Aye, I'm going through the reports of all the Decepticon sightings across the planet from the Autobot reports and its all pointing towards a return of the common enemy after 6 years of peace.
The mech loads up the data onto a globe, displaying where most of the sightings and encounters took place.
Its not looking good, NEST will be wanting words soon i'd suspect.

Chiro nodded, confirming her designation. She then looked up at the display and exvented. "Peace never lasts long in war." She shook her helm. "I just now found out about NEST from Sydrone, but despite this, she tapped the left side of her helm where the visible damage to her comms system was, "six years ago I caught word that Optimus Prime and Megatron went MIA. I wonder who's taken command of the 'Cons... Oh, that reminds me, who is the new chain-of-command for us?"

Our new commander is Watchman Prime, FeenixFire is the Magnus and I'm the Maximus.
Our spies say that Shockwave is the Decepticon's new commander.

A message comes through the communications.
"Message for any important rich people. Hey, any important rich people hanging around there?"
The image of Hotwire, the red and white rotorcraft, flashed onto the screen. It was impossible to determine her location, because she was standing in a newly-made cave, "Ladies and gennelmen, I am currently in possession of a limited edition Transformer mech. Hey, look!"
She stood aside, showing that behind her was a white and blue predacon wolf in a very large cage.
"Bidding is also open to curious Human Scientists and any passing alien races. Bidding starts on Evil-Bay in- hey, don't look at me like that!" she told the wolf.

Chiro was nodding as Gearchange listed off the new Autobot commanders and then froze when he mentioned Shockwave being the new Decepticon commander. "Primus help us..." She couldn't help but remember what all she had seen the scientist do back in the Pits, some of which she hated to admit she was part of, nor wanted anyone to know. But that was a time long past, she reminded herself. As the news sunk in, she then worried what her former collegue was up to, now that he was commander.
She shook her helm to clear her processor before looking back at the new Maximus. "Well, to make it official then..." She straighted up a bit, as much as her joints would let her in her current state. "Doctor Chiro, reporting for duty, sir. Though, I need some repairs myself before I can get to work." She hadn't used the term Doctor since she was a freelance medic, but between the new chain of command and her 6+ year absence, it was safer to assume that her rank was reset.
Chiro watched the communication that came through not a moment later and narrowed her optics. "More mercs and bounty hunters I see..."

Well its nice to meet you Chiro, if you need repairs i'd recommend the medbay's CR Chambers...
Hmm?
Sitting up straight as the mech saw who was on the communication channel.
My son! The mech called out as a servo slammed on the panel infront of him. She's taken Helix, that bounty hunting broad's been after me and my family.
The mech began bringing up Helix's groundbridge logs, his last known location was Germany...

"Hey there, Gearsy!" Hotwire waved to him through the link, "Great to see you in the room! And can I assure you that your son is in absolutely no danger, unless of course you're outbid by the Decepticons, in which case he'll probably be used as a hostage to lure you into a trap."
She grinned hugely.
"Bidding starts at $1 million credits... and we already have a bid of $1 million plus a spare soul from a little planet in the Cartwheel Galaxy!"

I will not barter money for my son's life, No life is worth that much money Hotwire, you know that slavery and selling of our kind was outlawed after the quintessons took over cybertron... or have you forgotten our people's history?

Chiro frowned. Logic told her that she should make solid repairs to heself before she jumped in pedes first, but seeing the situation unfolding before her, her Spark told her otherwise. "Give me ten minutes to throw some oil in my joints and restock my medkit." Chiro muttered loud enough for Gears to hear, but not be picked up by the comms. She then started to head off to find the medbay for the quick patchup.

"Fine, fine... go ahead and consider your son's like without value... theere's some guys in the Andromeda Galaxy who would disagree with you and they're offering likr. 75 quadrillion tonnes of Adamantium," Hotwire grinned.
"And as for slavery?" she added, "Oh, Gearchange, if only you knew a little more about me, you would know a lot more about the concepts of 'slavery' and 'freedom'."

What the hell would you do with 75 quadrillion tonnes of adamantium.
My son's value isn't in money...

"What couldn't I do?" Hotwire grinned, "Gearsy, I appreciate you can't bring yourself to put a specific currency value upon your son's well-being, but depressingly there are other people who can. Incidentally, the 'cons are currently the high bidders."

And you expect me to pay double whatever's being bid right now? How about I put a pede in that pretty little face of yours ontop?

"I don't expect you to pay double, sweetie. I don't expect anything of you. Join the bidding, don't join, mount a rescue, don't mount a rescue..."
Hotwire shrugged.
"Helix is unharmed. It's your call whether he stays that way. I bet you'd be running to get him if the trade was for your own life..." Hotwire scowled, "Freak..."
She switched off the communications link, and a little note reading "Auto-Bid?" came up.
