Baku would finish mixing a drink and slide it down the bar for Gearchange.
Like I said, I want to see what the Decepticons have to offer for me first... This, however, does not mean I am turning down your offer. It is considered...

Understood Baku, I hope the Decepticons show the same respect I hold for you, my friend.

When the ground bridge opened, Jazz should have expected the turbulence. That was something he had gotten used to over millions of years of travel by these warp tunnels. What he didn't expect the rugged terrain he was faced with when wheels met the ground, which was funny considering his alt mode was a classic race car cruising around in the sand and dirt and jagged rock. This, however, was different. The scenery was nice and all, but the foliage and sticking twigs and roots was a different story and soon enough the risk of popping tires became evident and after a short burst of travel he was eventually forced out of his alt mode.
The mech transformed and was about to duck for cover when he realized that... well... he wasn't really needing to considering that he wasn't that far from the sound of conversation. When his visor focused ahead he picked up two signatures, life signs, which were not human. Things seemed to be in the clear, at least. Slowly he started forward as quietly as he could as not to draw attention to himself and ruin whatever 'moment' the two were having.

Baku would nod as he prepared two more Beta high grades, Ichinose coming out of the human rooms with a severed servo in his arms.
Hey, Baku, where do you want to store this?
Baku would nod to Ichinose and point over to a locker area across from where his A7M mode had been.
Just put it into the slot at the bottom there. I have the lockers set up to auto-sort items like that.

Where'd you find that servo Baku? Actually i'd rather not ask where... or what you'd want with it.

Severed servos? Was this really the critter that Watchman was trying to have recruited for the Autobots side? He would have raised an optic ridge if he didn't have a visor, so instead he just gave a sideways frown then looked onward towards the two mechs again. It seemed like things were peaceful still, though probably as indecisive as ever by the body language. Jazz couldn't really say much as he had tried to stay out of the scuffles before it broke out into full-on war.
Jazz finally cleared his intakes some to make his presence known. Normally it was best to stay out of sight just in case he was needed as backup but nothing came at him as a red flag that this was a bad situation. Just calm, considerate conversation. He didn't move, however, just remained off to the side and out of reach... and at an angle where he could see every corner.
"Uh, pardon me? Yeah. Prime sent me after ya to see how you were handlin' things."

Ichinose would nod to Baku and toss the servo into the shoot as Baku nodded to Jazz and Gearchange, sliding a drink down the bar for Gear as he finished up a drink for Jazz.
The servo is from a cadaver. Where it came from, I cannot really say... I keep spare parts lying around in case anyone needs them if they come to me for repairs...

Huh... well I guess you're going to be the go to bot if we do need any parts then hehe.
Gearchange then hears the voice of Jazz and turns to see him.
You must be Jazz, how are you finding Earth Ice Man? I was just talking to Baku here about our pasts. Do you like High Grade?

Jazz exvented some and rubbed the back of his helm some. "Well, I was gonna ask how ya already know my designation, but I guess ya would, bein' in command and all. As for Earth, most of what I remember it was the dirt and canons. Oh, and my favorite part: The bot-eatin' craters. Humans really should be more open about warnin' us about those! Someone could lose an optic!"
The offer of high grade was a little throwing for him, since, well, Optimus would have never allowed for such a thing while out on a mission. This was one of those missions and to let down one's guard with those you didn't know was dangerous. Reckless.
Interesting.
"Haven't had a decent douse of High Grade since I played music at the VIP parties the Old Money used to throw! Man, those were some times, lemme tell ya..."
Jazz glanced over to Baku and the drink he was making and nodded his helm some as he saluted and grinned. "Baku, huh? So you're that Dinobot Prime was bringin' up? The name's Jazz for.. well... obvious reasons, I would suppose. Pleasure!" He chuckled some then walked over to where Baku was and flopped his back against it as he leaned rather casually. "Nice, quiet place... if you're into that sorta thing, which I ain't, but nice place anyhow."

Baku would nod as he slid a Beta-High Grade down to Jazz, chuckling a bit at the comment the mech had made.
Well, we try to keep things down so that the humans that aren't from around here or don't know about our race get suspicious... Besides, I intend on keeping this area a neutral zone of influence for a long time to come... And a pleasure to meet you as well, Jazz.

You referring to Potholes? If a constructicon saw the state of some of the tarmac roads on this planet I think they'd have a spark attack.
Gearchange takes another drink of Beta High Grade.

"No. I'm referrin' to craters that like to swallow bots like me up in a single gulp. Or did ya miss the memo that had my stasis-locked aft caught up in one of them death-traps? Didn't help that them 'Cons were on my tail 'either." Jazz grabbed up the offered high grade and swirled it around in the cube a bit, staring at the bright liquid as it reflected somewhat off his servo. He eventually brought it up and took a sip of it, only to set it back on the counter quickly as he covered his mouth to cough.
"WHOA! That's some strong stuff... yikes! This don't taste like regular high grade. Special mix?" He cleared his intake and prepared himself then took a full drink of it now that he was more prepared for the hit. "Now that we're all friendly over drinks, what's the decision bein' made?"

Baku would nod to Jazz.
I believe what you're talking about is what humans would call a sinkhole, which gives them problems too. Also, as I've told Gearchange, I will wait to make my decision until the Decepticons give me their side of the deal... Until then, I am remaining decidedly neutral...

Another groundbridge opened up and Skyspray fell out. He had not expected it to look like this, the ground should be underneath him, not right in front of him. He got back up on his pedes and brushed some dirt off of his faceplate. He was a little late and he knew that but trying out his new alt-mode had been too tempting. Now to find Gearchange and Baku. He began walking in the direction which he thought was the right one. He could pick up a couple of energon sigatures a short bit away from him. He slowly walked towards them and made his best not to disturb them, in case they were hostile.
After a little while he could see three mechs a short bit in front of him. He only recognized Gearchange but since they weren't shooting at each other he assumed that they were friends.
Sorry that I'm late. I HAD to take care of something. It looks like you had fun without me anyways.
He said with a slight grin on his face as he walked closer. He had to admit that one of the mechs was Huge! He was used to others being larger than him but not by that much.

"Sinkhole? Well, guess it's a good name for somethin' like that, since ya are literally swallowed up like that day's Energon supply! Fell right on through and probably hit every rocky ledge on the way down, too."
Most of the dings had been pulled out in medical, probably before he had come back online, but there were still a couple scrapes here and there that he had observed. Oh, if Ratchet saw him like this he would be in lock down in the medical ward for a cycle or two.
Jazz wasn't one to flinch, but he couldn't help it when he heard the heavy thud a bit away. Normally he wasn't one to shoot first and ask later, and while some things had changed, that had not. Instead he had already identified the tone of the signature and his visor's read outs fed directly into his HUD. Friendly.
As the sprite moved towards them, Jazz saw the cluster of dirt on his face place and figured that he had probably been the one to make the noise he'd heard and landed.... unceremoniously. By the way he was speaking it seemed he knew the mechs Jazz had been busying himself with. Seemed he was the odd-mech-out.
"Ya know, if Ratchet were around he'd scold ya for not takin' better care of your frame," Jazz spoke up and grinned. He made a 'brush your face off' gesture by rubbing at his own cheek with the index and middle digit of his left servo in the spot he saw the clutter of dirt sitting on the face of the other. The move was casual to make it so that little attention would be brought to him. No point in embarrassing the sprite should he be sensitive.
Jazz turned his attention back to Baku and nodded some then took another sip of his High Grade before setting the cube down on the counter. His optics may have been studying the location, but they were hidden behind his visor and never seen so that was only left to speculation.
"Lets hope that the Decepticons are as respectful of your decision as the Autobots are. Cause, lemme tell ya.." Jazz stared at the cube for a moment. "I've been on the receivin' end to what they offer those who don't come to their side, or even to those who DO join them, and it's little more than their idea of fun."

Skyspray chuckled a little and flipped down his battle mask to cover his face. That way the dirt wouldn't be seen, at mest not the dirt on is face.
Well, there are more important things than looking good. Having fun for example.
He smirked behind is battlemask, which was shaped as an autobot symbol, and crossed his arms. The arms had a decepticon insignia each on them, a fact that both Baku and Gearchange knew of. Jazz probably didn't.

Its up for Baku to decide which side he should join... heck, he could remain neutral which the Decepticons wouldn't agree with.
The mech scratched under his right optic, where one of the clan markings from Feenix has been etched onto his faceplate.

Baku would exvent some as he fixed up a Beta-High Grade for Skyspray, remaining in his 39 ft tall robot mode.
All I can say is this... Anyone who tries to threaten me or take advantage of what I have to offer, whatever side they belong to, will be dealt with swiftly...

Them be fighting words.
Gearchange nodded, agreeing with Baku. The mech finishes off his third cube of Beta High Grade, feeling a little fuzzy in the processor.

"Hey, I'm all about havin' fun. Little compares to a party with your friends with some funky tunes to rock it out."
Jazz was uncertain about the Decepticon markings, but he could only figure that he was a deserter of some sort. Though the Autobot faceplate? That was a tad creepy to him and that was only because he could think of another who had a carving of the opposing side on his own...
Jazz turned his attention to Baku and smirked some. It wasn't a cocky gesture, but more of a thoughtful half-smile.
"Now, if ya want threatenin', lemme tell ya. Them Decepticons? They take offense to just about anythin'. Wait till you tell them to not break anythin' and watch how they do just the opposite. It's like tryin' to contain a clutch of sparklin' hyped up on energon candies." He paused to take another sip of his high-grade and glanced over to Gearchange to see him finishing off his own. How many had that mech had, anyway? Jazz could tell the mech was leaning slightly. "And I hear that Shockwave is in charge now? In ways, I'd rather deal with multiple Megatrons than even just one Shockwave."
