A broad swath of rainforest feeding off inumerable tributaries in the central-African lowlands, the Congo forest covers several countries, and, despite deforestation as a result of expanding human populations and agricultural needs, the majority of the sprawling biome remains intact.
It was here, in the forest's westarn region, inside the borders of the Congo Republic, that a swirling green nexus of energy sprung into being.
Animals fled, and a figure as tall as a three-story building stepped out. Following her, a smaller figure. And another. And another.
A score of mining Vehicons and Eradicons plodded past Mire out of the groundbridge.... She stood waiting for the rest of her Seeker comrades, hands on her hips, mouth curled down slightly.

The 30ft mech which was Dark Mercy exits from the groundbridge following the seekers and vehicons. Keeping a watchful optic on his surroundings. he brushes the armor plates on his arms and looks to the seekers.
How far is it to the energon deposit, I do not see any easy way for the ground based units to reach the energon, not amidst all this vegetation.

"Scanner says 200 meters due east and approximately 45 meters north. That was the closest the bridge could get us, I guess. Interference from the Energon, probably."
She turns away from Gearchange, and starts walking, but keeps talking to him as she does so.
"They'll have to dig, I'm sure. If energon just stuck out of the ground everywhere, humans would have found a use for the stuff by now. Dreadful little creatures..."
On that note, Mire transforms to a crescent-shaped single-engine bomber and explodes into the air, passage buffeting the forest floor and canopy, snapping limbs off and causing everything within several dozen yards to shudder and rustle violently. She arcs over the trees, doing a roll, then straightening out and settling into an irregular figure-eight pattern around the mining-site.

Dark Mercy begins walking towards the estimated location, making a rough path by simply walking, toppling anything in his path. His power armor wasn't worth using for this distance. Besides he could locate anything or anyone trying to hide in the jungle terrain whilst on his way.

Scrambling through the grounbridge, Starscream immediately took view of the tropical forested terrain. Their was only a few more Decepticons that needed to follow through the portal behind so their was no bother on waiting for them. Leaping into the air, the Seeker transformed into his red and sliver fighter jet mode, activating his twin engines, erupting out a loud booming sound as he guided himself up through the cut down canopy, curtsy of Mire. Climbing above altitude, Starscream's speed dramatically increased, forcing him to slide through the air and bypass Mire's bomber plane. He then activated his inner build sonar radar system. If their were going to be any other Cybertronian signatures entering the area, he'd be the first one to know.

Internally grumbling that she'd been overtaken, Mire kept her course, soaring over the the rainforest as, below, the vehicons began to dig...

Midway through the swirling vortex, Skywarp had already transformed into his F-22 raptor jet, quickly catching speed with the other already airborne seekers. He switched to fly in the opposite direction of uncovered land. He was seriously hoping some of the Autobots could show up for the fireworks.

((Postinggg!!!))
Thundercracker's entrance was delayed, taking place after the arrival of a few miner classed vehicons. Thundercracker wasn't the type to fly around and act like he knew what he was doing. No, he knew what he was doing. Taking a eased steps out of the groundbridge to examine his surroundings, the blue seeker eventually transformed into his f-22 fighter jet form. Then, with a boost of his thrusters, he took off into the skies. The scientist didn't bother to make his take off different or helm turning, but he took off. Instantly, one he was in the skies, he flew a bit at cloud level.
:: I'm not always seen as the obvious type, but it would be a more- 'reasonable' reminder to make this swift and quiet. The last thing we need is to find energon, and have the autobots come and snatch it. ::
Thundercracker spoke as if he were looking at somebody is specific. If It were to be anyone, It would most likely be Skywarp. Starscream and anyone else would be an if- unless they had a reputation of making things go 'kapow' when fighting autobots.
:: I think the best way to prevent this scenario is by avoiding to cause trouble. ::

Swift and quiet he said, frag that, he was going to make all the noise he wanted too. Maybe when the vehicons were close to mining out the entire cavern, he could go a bombing run and leave a path of devastation to force the Autobots here. Out of everyone here, the black purple seeker was probably the most urged on fighting. It kind of irritated him on Thundercracker's logical view of situations. The two seekers really never agreed on any matter, he was more of the thinking type while Skywarp himself acted out in more thuggery ways.
:: Quiet my aft, Thundercracker! That's the exact opposite of what I'm gonna do after I'm done with this organic forest. Don't blow out like a buzz kill, have some fun, been awhile since I lit up a place this big. ::

Skywarp. Always looking upon weapons as a solution to everything. Both verbally and nonverbally. Thundercracker responded with a small huff, then proceeded with his actual response. :: Then you can do that when Lord Shockwave says you can. Aren't there more elaborate targets- perhaps an oil frigate or city? Skywarp, what's fun about destroying something that won't fight back. So no blowing up trees. Don't even use a pistol on them. ::
Thundercracker felt like he was urging the purple seeker in a logical way. Sometimes, just maybe, he says things that he shouldn't say. 'Maybe my previous speech is a good example..' He thought.

Mire listened to the exhange with quiet amusement. She didn't really know Skywarp all that well, but what little she had heard and seen of the blue-and-black Seeker made her reasonably certain that trying to disuade him from much of anything via logic and nothing else was roughly equivelant to tossing balogne at a tank.
And then, the moment of perfect lucidity gone, her more chaotic side reassuming control, Mire decided it would be a good idea to mock the mech.
"What's wrong, Skywarp?"
She crooned, strafing past the smaller jet, doing a twirl as she swooped up and over him, looping under him with a roar of her engines, before resuming her usual patrol-route.
"Do you have to shoot at things that can't move or fight back because you're an awful shot, or because you're afraid of an actual fight?"
Mire tittered to herself. This was the other half of Mire; the half of her that was a result of massive processor-trauma. The half that had all the tact and social grace of a shark strapped to a lawn-mower.

Dark Mercy pulls out his twin chainsaw bladed bolter weapons and revs them up to 1000 RPM, cutting and slicing a way ahead for some of the ground based vehicons to get the equipment through, each tree he cut down was like an autobot in battle.
He'd been listening to the Decepticons chitter on the comm line, seekers...

Meanwhile, Chaff had arrived with the cluster of vehicon miners at the site which the energon signature had been detected. Chaff folded his arms, facing the matter which acted as the blockade between the vehicons and the energon. Chaff considered the vast amount of the matter which was before him, the large substance which was found all across the earth. He narrowed his optics behind his helm, as he examined i more. The miners eyed the large blockade restlessly, as the face off continued.
Chaff shook his helm some, and turned for the vehicons who were behind him. He took strides for them, and then turned around again so that he was right infant of him, like a general leading his infantry for the final launch on the enemy.
"Vehicons!" Chaff shouted, and instantly all the vehicons straightened behind him, the vehicon with the green stripe taking a breath before he proceeded. "LETS MINE SOME STUFF!"
All the vehicons who had stood ready reared up their drills and pick-axes, ferociously closing in on the rock before them, hacking and boring into the rock with vigor. Chaff himself pulled out a pick-axe, commencing mining himself with his brothers. The steady rhythm of pickaxes lifting and hitting rock could be heard.
::Sir. We have arrived at the positions we were requested to.:: A com-link sounded in Chaff's audio receptor, and the vehicon grinned as he kept to his work.
---------
F-281 cocked his sniper rifle, about a kilometer from Chaff's position. He peeked through the scope of his rifle as he played on his chest, perched in the typically good sniping positions. He kept his scope on the mining vehicons, and then patrolled his scope back and forth every now and then to make sure no one approached and got by the other Deceptions.
Meanwhile, another vehicon, Gojj, had his own optics keened through enhanced vision on the trio of seekers, particularly Starscream.
::I got 'I'm in my visuals as ordered. So far, nothing major has been done--and they're staying away from your position.:: Gojj com-linked Chaff, as he kept his own weapons ready to attack for Autobots--or seekers.

:: Tighten your logic circuits, Thundercracker, I'm only out here to have some fun, but I guess you're right, these trees aren't gonna be much for shooting. I bet their's some insects squirming around here though. ::
The black purple growls through the comm link as he heard Mire's voice. If that didn't make him angry she had had nerve to fly past him with her own aerial form. Skywarp never really used his warping abilities to its fullest advantage, but for this situation, he was all to tempted on doing it. The jet suddenly disappears, reappearing as it warps directly in front of Mire.
:: You think you're funny, glitch? Hey, do me a favor, tell me what my afterburners taste like. ::
He fired out his engines straight out into the femme's plane beak, chuckling out to himself as he started to soar higher above the clouds.

This was suppose to be an energon extraction mission, yet here they all were arguing about a petty argument of shooting things. They were all acting out like a group of whining sparklings. At this point, he heard far enough into argument that he now needed to step in, before it escalated any further. Flying over next to Thundercracker, he spoke through the comm channel with his usual high pitched toned voice. :: I've heard enough of this babbling. Mire, please refrain yourself from starting anymore conflicts with the others. Skywarp, don't let your stupidity get in the way anymore. Shut up and stay on the given task. I don't care if this isn't fun for you, don't even try to fire a single bullet, unless their is a confirmed Autobot target. Oh and Thundercracker, don't give him any ideas of blowing up other things. ::

Dark Mercy took up position at the mouth of the cavern in which the energon was located, crossing his arms and leaning on the side of the rocky entrance. Watching out for any Autobots who would dare try and interfere with the mining operation.
He watched the vehicons and other decepticons march in and saw the occasional seeker dart over...
Guard duty, just like on cybertron.

Mire resisted the urge to strafe Skywarp and muddy his paint with her superheated jetwash, scowling mentally as Starscream forced them to set the disagreement aside. Petty disagreements were half the fun of any mission....
"Yes, sir."
She grumbled, pulling up and angling around to re-engage her proper patrol-route.

While continuing to drift through the sky, Starscream had remembered Shockwave had not said anything about what quantity the energon crystals came in. This would prove worth while, because of him being the highest rank here, he wanted the cyclops to see he was fine example of a commander who could keep on task and make sure his troops followed through the work. He'd be here to stay for awhile, no doubt. Actually, he was more satisfied if Shockwave had been around instead of Megatron. Their was no more redemption from that bucket helmed tyrant. If he was even caught one more time trying to scheme on overthrowing him, that would have been the final chance. Well who cares, he already considered himself better then him. Faster, smarter, wiser leadership skills and not to mention, better looking. That actually reminded him, he was urged on finding out what had become of Black Sun. He couldn't even imagine what was going inside her processor now that she learned the truth.
Maintaining his altitude speed, the seeker continued to over watch his inner build sonar radar. Everything had so far been clear.

Mire sneered mentally.
"Wow, you did? It's almost like it was so big, the Nemesis picked it up from orbit and the rest of us already knew it was there. Do others really have such dull senses?"
The femme flaunted her superior scanners, more than a touch of pride in her voice as she spoke. But really, everyone already knew where the energon was. Wasn't Thundercracker supposed to be smart?
