They shake their head.
"No. They're old, really old. Not dangerous, but... a lot of them," indeed, the scars mangled almost her entire upper half of her face, "Even if I wasn't to join you, they're my reminder of why... well, the reason people are incompetant jerks. A mine went off in my face. Needless to say I wasn't happy."
"Kind offer, but it's been made before, and turned down before."
"It was the on-duty medic who fouled up and made them so much worse than they had to be, anyway."

Thrasher nodded, then shifted as he sent a ping through his comm system to alert Gateway that they would need a bridge back to the Axiom. He then looked at Ichor and nodded, prompting the mech to get up and begin walking towards the shuttle. Thrasher then stepped forward and raised a servo forward towards the femme.
Will you be joining us?... Or must you be a target of twelve genocide teams? Thrasher asked, partially humorous in the second part, though it would be true.

Hotwire and Breech sag, deep in thought. Thrasher can see her lips moving as she silently discusses it with herself.
Finally she looks up.
"It sounds... like something worth trying."
"Even with the unnecessecery surgery."
"Yes. We'll join you. Two for the price of one, huh?"

Thrasher nodded, and turned around to lead her into the shuttle. By no Vertigo was inside, watching the two silently with his green optics. His coughing had ceased and he seemed rather calm now. He waved to her silently as he took a seat in the side of the shuttle's bay, letting the mag-locks hold him against the wall to prevent any unnecessary flailing around if the shuttle ever had a rough flight.
Stepping into the shuttle, Thrasher pressed a pad on the wall, thus commanding the engines to begin warming up for takeoff. The large mech was very calm, a bit happy to have a new member, it could at least serve as a buffer for the anger his superior would have for the Axiom's crash.
Ichor has a bad vocoder, a result of his activities. He creates dangerous chemicals and diseases.

"Ah. You indulge in chemical warfare. So that's the catch," Breech snickers, although her rotors rattle. She takes a seat calmly, watching Thrasher closely.

Thrasher took a seat at the controls of the shuttle, pressing a button on a holo-panel, he closed the shuttle hatch. Once the shuttle was sealed again, Thrasher began the process of lifting off and rising towards a newly formed red vortex in the sky. The gentle hum of the thrusters was the only sound, save for Ichor's sometimes erratic breathing. As they neared the vortex, Thrasher looked back. The first time through a warp-bridge can be... Unsettling, we wouldn't be surprised if you vomited energon. He said before turning to face forward again and flying the shuttle through the portal. The vortex then closed behind them. ((To the Axiom!))

A groundbridge opens and Tallymark steps out, followed by three green vehicons.
Our employer is meeting us here.

Swindle pops through the ground bridge, keeping a straight emotionless face.
"I take it he won't be happy."
Swindle said.

Tallymark gives Swindle an annoyed look.
Suddenly a small metal bird lands on a nearby rock. It looks at the assembled robots and tilts it's head. The bird opens it's mouth.
" Neither am I. "
A flock of more birds descend from the sky and combine together in to a headless female robot. She picks up the small bird as it transforms, forming her head and a large smirk.
The employer said he was meeting us in person. Where is he?
"Keep your tires on. He's dealing with a set back from another associate. Now, where is the objective?"
Tallymark looks at Swindle, hoping the more talkative bot would take the fall.

To both of heir reliefs, the towering, traitorous vehicon stepped forward through the groundbridge. Juxtaposed against the rest, his visor and height stood out like a sore thumb. He looked to the bird-lady.
You.

Nevermore looks at the Vehicon. A frown covering her face.
" Oh look... It speaks. Vehicons, I feel dumber every time I eat one. "
And obviously furious Tallymark responds in mono-toned anger. Clearly wanting to get back on track.
Can we please get back to the mission.
Nevermore smirks
" Of course. Though I'm curious to know why your picking up strays? "

"Well, you see, ma'am, we ran into some, say, problems..."
Swindle said, cutting in. He would bring up a small device that displayed the Autobots who were at the scene.
"We ran into these good fellows,"
Swindle would then pull up an image of the lost ship 'Novaburst'.
"It seems this rust bucket was what they were protecting. It housed a dozen of those Bots, and I fear we were forced to get our priorities straight and leave."
Swindle said.
"But we did manage to send the Autobots running. Their medic and most of their warriors are injured. They'll have to run home if they want to heal."
Swindle said.
"Then again, if we want to mobilize on the location again, they'll already have taken objects of interest within the ship. Lost cause at this point."
Swindle said.
"My dearest apologies,"
Swindle said, with a slight frown. He never enjoyed admitting defeat.

Slapfoot's four eyes bored into the femme's from behind his x-visor, and while the original Slapfoot would have turned the other cheek, the mind controlled one took the as a scoff at the type of cybertronians that his master was. Of course, verbal retaliation was a must. I would hardly think you lack of intelligence has anything to do with your diet. Slapfoot crossed his arms, and tilted his head, waiting for a response.

Nevermore looks at the ship then pulls out her data pad.
" Send me the data. And I'll wire your bonuses. Your employer pays handsomely for information. "
She then looks at Slapdash. Murderous intent barely contained in her eyes.
" We'll feast on your dead metal if. We. I was not here for business. "
Tallymark adds
This fighting is pointless. We need to get back on track.

Swindle would let the three bicker as he did as the Decepticon said. "Oh, and if you don't mind - perhaps you can schedule me a meeting with your employer..." Swindle said softly, remaining confident. He would forward the data to her, which included historical Cybertronian logs on the ship, the Autobots at the attack and each of their Cybertronian profiles, and several images of the ship and the Autobots. Swindle also slipped in his business card into the data package directly before he sent the data into her data pad. "That should be all of the info I found on the bunch." Swindle said. "I don't have the exact location of it, as they did manage to scramble my GPS system, but I think one of your Vehicon friends can supply that." Swindle finished. "I didn't catch a name, however...?" Swindle said, a sly smirk smacked onto his faceplate.

The female Decepticon turned her head. Her movements were strange, like she was some sort of marionette doll. She smirks, the smirk of an animal about to devour prey.
" Nevermore. And what do we think? Does he get to meet the man pulling the strings? "
She adds as she looks at a message on her datapad.
"Expect a call with meeting co-ordinates."

"I'll be waiting," Swindle smiled, not too threatened by the strange Decepticon. "I hope you find everything you need in that bit of data I just sent you." Swindle said, backing away, leaving the Vehicons and this 'Nevermore' to themselves.
He took a step back and spoke. "I have business elsewhere, lads. I'll be waiting on that call." Swindle told Nevermore, and with that, Swindle suddenly disappeared with a flash of light - a controlled warp.

Nevermore nods and jumps into the air transforming into a large bird and flies away.
Tallymark nods and transforms into his car mode. The other vehicons in his squad follow suit and they drive away.
