IqaluitA miniature city, almost completely secluded from other urban areas of the world. It is currently the only urban location in the entire Nunavut territory. The architecture is simple, solely designed for withstanding the harsh cold climate, but using as few resources as possible, making the structures not especially durable. The only ways to this isolated community are through air travel, or boat. Getting to Iqaliut by plane is much more easily done than by water, due to the large amounts of ice in the bay that the city is built by. The city itself is on one of the large islands off the north shore of the Canadian mainland.
The climate is fairly simple, there is long, dark, and freezing winters, as well as short, lukewarm summers. There is almost always snow on the ground. The summers are too short to permit the growth of deciduous trees, and the permafrost prevent any plant growth above the height of a shrub. It is quite common for severe blizzards in the winter seasons. These cause damage to the city itself and can easily wall civilians in their homes.

A flaming metal craft flies down a over a dozen miles off from the city in the dead of night. The few regular civilians that saw it just believed it was a meteorite. There pod landed in a large ice mound, shattering it instantly and creating a large crater where it once was. The shock woke the being inside the capsule instantly.
Gateway opened his eyes under his mask. The hud activated as he focused on where he was. Oh yeah, fire, explosions, jumping in this cramped piece of junk. What fun it was to watch my home get completely destroyed behind me as I fly to some unknown organic dominated planet. He said this as he kicked open the door. It launched right off and skidded across the snow. Gateway stared at the empty whiteness with a deep blue sky above it in wonder. He checked his hud, well below dihydrogen monoxide freezing. This was not going to be good on his frame. There was no map available for this planet either. So Gateway went with the best option. The direction that a faint light rose over the horizon.
Though he didn't know at the time, that faint glow was the city light of the small city named Iqaluit.

Some 6 miles away from the city, a white winged predacon flies in his search of energon. The red lined optics looks around him and his olfactory sensor sniffs every scent in the air.
Nothing yet, how long will I take to find energon, my levels of energy is getting lower everytime, BTW, why every cybertronian I find is fighting?, what has happened in all this time? I don't know....
Whiteclaw lands and continues sniffing.He took some minutes before to get a scent that took his full attention. The owl-gryphon predacon walks quickly towards the scent origin, but adly, it was a false alarm. The smell only was a rusty piece of metal left by any human a long time ago.
Nothing yet, this makes me feel very disapointed...

Nearby Ace was in a warehouse he had converted into a temporary base of operations, one he would be abandoning within the next 6 hours. Every week he took a warehouse did some tech stuff there and upgraded it, before blowing up his work and moving into the next one. Most of the warehouses were in abandoned areas. Sometimes caves were also useful but right now he believed a warehouse was the better choice. When the short range sensors he had set on the exterior of the warehouse picked up a fast moving aerial object, Ace decided to investigate the object.
Going outside Ace did some stretches before shifting into one of his alternate modes. In this case the mode he had chosen was his jet, so he could take an aerial look. After all fast moving objects were rare in Iqualuit, unless they were missiles or Decepticons and he had the patience to deal with neither of them right now. So Ace took off, and soon would arrive near the object which when he looked at it was not an object at all. It was a Predacon. Weren't Predacons supposedly supposed to be nearly extinct? If so, why was one here? In Cybertronian, Ace tried to speak to see if the Predacon could understand him.
"What is your designation Predacon?"

Whiteclaw looks at the newcomer. and approaches his olfactory sensors to smell him. He just wanted to knw if that mech smells like the other ones that tried to attack him in the past.
Well, it seems what he doesn't smell dangerous at the moment..
With a stutter in his voice, he answers with his russian accent.
My name...is Whiteclaw, or at least that is all I know. And, you are...?
The predacon sits down in fron to the mech. His red lined optics stares at Ace. Maybe White looks dangerous in his predacon form, but it is only his appearance
He is acting kindy, weird, the only thing I've sen in this planet are guys fighting everywhere.

"You can call me Ace." Ace examined the Predacon. Predacons were life forms he had never encountered before once in his existence and now he had for the first time met up with one. Ace then thought about something. A Predacon could be a powerful ally to have and if he were to train the Predacon it could be a Force for Good. This thought weighed in on his mind, as well as the fact Preacons had heightened senses which would make detecting Energon even easier.
"So White Claw I've got a bit of a proposition for you. You are likely unused to your robot mode, and I could provide you training. Be warned I am a Quad Changer which is rare, like you are also rare. The catch is I'd need you to start hunting Energon for the both of us because if my theory is correct, you're a real powerhouse. I'd even be willing to instruct you in how to create weapons so as to better equip us to defend ourselves more properly."
Having a Loyal Predacon would make him one step closer to having followers. Having followers would make him one step closer to banding together some of the neutrals. It was a goal Ace planned to fulfill eventually, even if they couldn't possess a base, at least he'd have an ally.

Maybe I'm a rare kind of cybertronian, but something in your theory is wrong, let me show you....
The predacon shakes his ears before to transform into his robot mode. When the transformation is finished White would look like a common mech, but some of his armor parts look like predacon ones. Also, his predacon wings are in his back, making him look like a kind of mechanic angel.
Don't worry, you can talk in the standardized cybertronian language, anyway, I'm able to speak in predacon and old cybertronian too, and a bit of insecticon. And about the energon, don't worry, that is why I'm here, I've following a scent trail for miles, and if my nostrils serves me correctly, a energon mine should be close from us.
Why is he being so friendly with me? I have no idea, but at least he isn't trying to kill me...
The White's red optics continues staring at Ace. White's faceplate looks calm and friendly, something weird in a predacon.
And, I have to make a question, wy are you offering to be trained by you? I don't have a problem sharing energon, but, you barely know me!

"Quite simply put, I'm a neutral. A target for both sides in a war that should not continue to vex us. " His neutrality was one of the reasons Ace had to consistently be on the move constantly. It was a problem he needed to resolve at his earliest possible opportunity, and one that would be difficult to fix. "I am a master-weaponsmith. I can smith weapons you've never dreamed of before in your life Whiteclaw, it's a skill of mine. Your heightened senses are one of the reasons I want to put you into my training so you can become almost as good as me at weapon crafting. Given the chaos in the war, I can't be everywhere at once, offering people my services. There is also the matter of lacking a base of operations." Ace then pulled out a mini disc and handed it over to White Claw. "You can use this to contact me. It will allow us to stay in communication, because it has my comm frequency on it."

White picks the disc up and saves it in a small compartment in the chest and turns at Ace
Well, you have a better story than me, the things I can remember is: I'm Whiteclaw, and I'm a predacon, I can speak in many laguages, but for some reason I dont know how I learnt them, I have a family, but I don't how are them, and some biologist and weapon sutff, I... I hope that isn't a problem to you.
Maybe, if I stand beside with this guy, I could investigate something of my forgotten past, ok, so, why not?
His olfactory sensors detect something. Whiteclaw jumps and transforms into his predacon from.
Energon, finally, energon!
He runs towards the energon location. When he gets the origin of the smell he starts to dig faster His big and pale claws looks blurry trying to get the dust away from the energon. Some 5 inches energon crystals appears in middle of the hole made by White.

Gateway continues his chilled pace to the city. He was barely moving by the time he was alerted by his HUD of the nearby Energon signature. I'm definitely going to need it, I'm wandering this wasteland aimlessly anyways. Hopefully I can still transform with all of this frost on me. The mech changes to his alt mode, scraping and shaking clouds of frost off of him. His hover jets rose him well off of the snow and began to push him forward. This was much faster than walking, why hadn't he been doing this before?
Through the pale fog, Gateway could see the iconic cyan glow of exposed Energon. This was more than just someone else walking through the empty white landscape, this was a revealed Energon deposit. Which Gateway could make use of. So he pushed forward. Eventually a figure came into view. Strangely shaped, but definitely not organic. Hello! Do you know where we are? I just got here and am completely lost! He called out to the unusual being digging at the ground.

Whiteclaw stops digging and turns his owl face towards the newcomer. The deep red optics can be clearly noticed as his white body can be confused with the fog. The predacon starts smelling Gateway's armor. His nostrils breathe cold air from inside.
Seems he's a friendly guy too...
He stops smelling and replies to Gate
All I know, this planet is called Earth, ,And don't worry, you are safe here as long as the autobot and decepticons are away, or at least I think so, but, what can I say being a mech with amnesia?
Just, forget the last part, and judging by your smell you barely have some hours after came to this place, Also, I could guess you have a long time without the company of someone, without mentioning the low levels of energy.
The mech's olfactory sensors could be considered powerful, they able to detect the smell of anything, even to know a person status by smelling the body odor

At least he isn't violent... Gateway said to himself. He sped up his pace to get near enough to make out the shape in the distance. It by no means was humanoid, so he was ready for anything.
Snow began to fall at a much greater intensity, nearly blinding Gateway completely. He followed the faint crimson glow of Whiteclaw's optics. And finally reached the Predacon. I have firsthand experience with Autobot and Decepticon relations. You need any help with this energon deposit? Do you know if any other mechs are here? He asked as he transformed. Gateway then scraped frost off of his visor, clearing his vision enough to figure out what he was looking at. A Predacon? You're so calm though?

Ace drove up in his vehicle mode and transformed. "Yes, we could use help with the Energon Deposit. After all the Energon could be used by all three of us and split equally. Several cubes of it of course will go to me." The vehicle mode Ace was in, was his sports car form. It was not often he chose to be in that form. "So shall the three of us split the Energon Deposit? I mean, we all need the Energon anyway. There is no sense in a brawl over Energon here."

I know! I know I look like dangerous, but that is only the appearance. So, you all are supposing to be fair in this, I have no problem sharing, but...
His voice sound kinda rude and angry. He has a long time without taste the flavor of energon, so, this could make him violent and volatile. He's hungry, really hungry.
Please, don't stay like fools and start digging!
Whitclaws continue digging like the beast he is. The smell of the energon motivates him to do all he can and ignore the other mechs beside him

I guess you're right, we might as well get to work. Gateway stood straight and continued to brush himself off and activated his backpack. Two metal tendrils slid out of the case. They glad over to the frozen crystals and began to rapidly rip chunks of ice away from the energon. As he did this he steeped to the dig site and started digging with his hands. How'd you guys get here? I feel from the sky myself. Also, do you think we'll get all this Energon out before we freeze, the weather just seems to keep getting worse.

Whiteclaw stops for a couple of minutes
I came from the sky too, I only can remember my failing, a hit and no more, then I woke up buried. The ground were surrounding me armor. As I said before, for some reason I can't remember some stuff.
The big claws continue digging again.
I don't have problems with the cold weather since I have some freezing abilities. if someone touches me, you could feel like if you were touching an ice cube, why? So simply, liquid nitrogen runs through my veins.

Slowly Ace started to use his synthesis ability to materialize a shovel. When that was done he started to dig away so as to extract the Energon from the ground. For he needed the Energon. Any Energon would come in handy and given that he constantly needed to keep some on hand for future projects anyway, it was good to know where some deposits of Energon on the planet Earth were at. "Once we get most of the Energon, we should leave some here so we'll have a reserve for later in case we actually need it later on." While Ace would have liked to hoard all that Energon that remained after they had all three taken their fair share it was not in his best interests. Rather, having a sustainable Energon Deposit was a good idea.

The Predacon seemed safe enough, but Gateway wasn't certain if he could trust the other one. He decided if he was a threat, he'd already of done something in this wasteland, so Gateway decided to get to know everyone he was going to possibly stick with. So, who are you? You fall from space into this white landscape? Or do you actually know what is going on? Gateway asked Ace sarcastically. You know what would be convenient right now? A shelter. 'Cause I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one nearing critical temperatures. But Bird boy's alright 'cause he's already frozen on the inside. You know, that's a strange thing to have. He looked to Whiteclaw And what's your name? No offence on the alternate mode comment just a moment ago. I get carried away. Gateway said as he tore off a piece of ice revealing the the core shard. He decide it'd be best to leave it be and take take out the rest of the deposit. The crystal could make a good backup in case of an emergency. He silently laid a location tracker on the ground so if he needed to, he could make his way back to the shard. So how are we gonna divide this up?

The predacon looks at Gateway.
I'm Whiteclaw, and I'm not offended by your half funny comment. I've heard worst.
Whiteclaw starts to smell the new scent in the air. It comes from the mech called Ace.
This guy, smells like he only speaks, but his thought are differents, or at least it smells like that, but this damn fog doesn't allow me to smell properly. In the other hand, the other mech needs a safe place quickly. And I don't think so by his words, odors are more reliable than words.
In my opinion, I'd be happy with enough energon to fill myself, and, do you think I'm enought stupid to trust at two strangers? Look at us! We're only loners who came at the same spot by an unknown reason.
Whiteclaw transform into his robot mech and one of his wings are transformed into a blade. The tip of the blade is embedded in the middle of the hole and sits down beside it.
Also, I found it! If I were another mech I would try to kill you all.

"You can call me Ace." Soon by means of the shovel and the combined work of all of them, some of the Energon had been dislodged, enough for all three of them to eat for a week or more. "As for not trusting you both, believe me the feeling is quite mutual. I know about the war, some details, including the fact that both Optimus and Megatron are missing, possibly dead even given that there's a new prime within the ranks of the Autobots." For a moment Ace paused to consider what he was going to say next. "What I propose is we each take a third of this Energon, if possible."
