Most swamps are relatively small, but there are a few whose size will take your breath away. The biggest on the planet is the Vasyugan swamp in Russia. 20% wider than the whole of Switzerland and 53,000 square kilometres in total area. Within the bounds of the swamp there are more than 800 lakes, and many rivers and streams begin here. 2% of the world total supply of peat is to be found here

A groundbridge opened and Osprey walked out of it. Once out, he turned around to see Taurok.

"Do not get any funny ideas about my daughter." Taurokhun gave the death glare. "Now get ready." Taurokhun moved away covering himself in mud as he laid down in the muddy murky water

Osprey started to cover himself in mud as well. I dont have any at all. he said with a serious tone. I just thought she could use a partner to work with.

The conversation between the two mechs was interrupted when the groundbridge glowed brighter signalling the arrival of a newcomer. A moment later Shadow-Strike stepped out, his jet black frame illuminated in a green tint due to the groundbridge at his back before it dimmed again. Only to lighten again when one by one, twenty vehicons appeared each of them as silent as their predecessor. After their arrival though the groundbridge dimmed again sending off a very dark green.
Before the Vehicons could settle though Shadow-Strike turned around, his blood red optics glancing over each and every one of them before he gave a subtle nod of approval. Then his visor, the same colour as his optics lowered with numerous displays mirrored across the glass revealing he was connected to the holonet. Excluding his appearance the only sign he was on the holonet was an encoded signal that fired off seconds into lowering his visor.
Then as quickly as suddenly as he'd lowered his visor, he rose it again with a slight smirk across his face. In answer to any possible questions about the cause of his smirk a droppod flew through the air only to land a few meters from the silent mech.

Taurokhun has adjusted. "Prepare to attack as I do. Spread in an arc facing the way osprey is. The mud and water will cover our heat signatures." Taurokhun breifly showed some missiles "All vehicons group up in fives and then concerntrate your attacks. Make sure they don't catch onto our infiltrator. I believe that's you shadow"

Shadow-Strike in reply to the commands raised his hand towards the vehcions who where beginning to move as a signal to halt. In response to the assassin they paused if only momentarily. With the vehicons now stopped, Shadow-Strike spun around to face his commanding officer. "If I may make a suggestion commander, I have brought equipment that will assist in our mission..." At this the mech pointed towards the newly arrived drop pod. "...I shall however require assistance if we're to quickly set up."

"Acceptable. What needs to be done? I am not surprised you have more connections and supplies than myself." Obviously Taurokhun hadn't been on this particular planet as long which meant less toys for him. "How may I assist" Taurokhun moved to assist

"We'll need to set up a combat zone." Shadow-Strike said as he began to move towards the drop pod. Upon reaching the pod, the mech reached out tapping his index digit across the capsule door. In response the door began to rise away from the core then twisted away to the side to reveal its contents. Within numerous small mechanisms where stuffed inside with the largest being the size of a motorbike, while the smallest where the size of a small cooker. A quick glance over the assortment of gadgets seemed to be all Shadow needed to confirm everything was there.
With his right hand he reached forward and plucked out one of the larger devices which was in the shape of a cylinder and was roughly 2 meter in radius and 1 meter in height.
"There should be twelve of these. They need to be deployed on the outskirts of the skirmish before the battle begins, each of them carries their own charge and are linked directly to me. When the battle begins I'll activate them all creating a ray shield globe that'll prevent retreat through standard movement. We need to ensure they're hidden well as until their activated they'll be easily destroyed if found and it'll leave a weak point in the shielding. Otherwise once activated we'll have an hours worth to pick them off."
At the end of his speech Shadow-Strike handed over the device to a Vehicon and allowed another eleven to pick up a ray shield generator before they vanished into the distance to set up the zone. Then with them gone Shadow-Strike was reaching into the drop pod again as he pulled out another device that was around the same size though unlike the ray shields was instead a cuboid.
"This one's a standard signal jammer once activated it should prevent both groundbridges and comm signals. For it to work it needs to be placed somewhere near the centre of the battle, though away from where it could be damaged. I suggest either in a cave or hidden underneath one of the larger swamp trees."
Again the Decepticon handed over the jammer to another Vehicon before he began pulling out the more interesting devices.

In the meantime Osprey finished covering himself in mud whereever he could. Then he listened to Taurok and Shadow. He stood there, avaiting of orders. Shall I help the Vehicons?

Tilting his head towards Osprey, Shadow-Strike leaned back into the drop pod again as he gripped a small dozen or so meter radius balls which he flung at one Vehicon before reaching in to throw a new pile. By the end he'd thrown roughly three dozen of the small devices into the arms of four vehicons who looked ready to move at a moments notice. Before they could leave however Shadow-Strike turned to Osprey as he pulled out another one of the larger cuboid devices which he handed into the Decepticons arm.
"Take this and go north to the nearest lake, once there drop it into the centre and activate it. It should quickly begin solidifying the lake into ice. The vehicons with you need to drop their gadgets into the lake beforehand then once the lakes completely frozen I'll activate them. There will be a little surprise for any Wrecker who attempts to fight us their."
With Osprey given an order Shadow-Strike then pulled out some of the more standard devices in the form of numerous mines which although currently deactivated where ready to be primed at a moments notice. Now with the mines in hand Shadow-Strike began handing out the devices to any remaining Vehicons.
"Place these in the open strips underneath any rubble or foilage you can find, and aside the base of trees. These are you standard high grade anti-combiner explosives. If you accidentally activate one of these then your as good as dead along with anyone within a ten meter radius."
Now that his warning was given Shadow-Strike turned away in a sign of dismissal as he returned to view Taurokhun.
"I have one last surprise remaining. These ones though are more dangerous than the rest. Just be careful when setting them up. The rest I can deactivate at a moments notice, these ones not so much."

"Osprey. Move to the centre of the lakes. Vehicons set up traps to liquefy the ground and then shock the autobots. When they enter the area. Once the trap is set osprey you are to wait in the centre and call out The autobots. Make them think you have you've turned for the better. Make them truly believe you are one of them or give them a reason to leave. once they enter the trap zone fly out. After everything is sorted proceed to set up a circled firing line! Shadow set up for covery Fire. I'll be the artillery and you can signal me when it's safe to charge without risk of being fried. Before you leave tho what is this last surprise?"

"Self contained traps. Once triggered a shield generator while block escape and the trap itself will activate, I suggest they be placed around the perimeter of the lake. They're triggered to go off the moment the shield is up, these shields are merely for containment they won't survive a blaster shot nevermind the barrage the other can."
Then with his devices gone Shadow-Strike threw one more device towards Taurokhun.
"Its a hologram emitter, if we can't trick them with the standard distress signal then there's more than a few hostage scenarios recorded on that device. They're all hardlight as well so shoot the highlighted points and you'll be able to continue the charade."
With that done Shadow-Strike reached into the pod for a final time as he began to tap across the now revealed control panel. In a flurry of agile digits the screen flickered into life revealing a countdown as the Decepticon assassin stepped away. Only for the pod itself to begin melting down into a small puddle that burned away at the landscape, the light of the burn distracting enough that by the time the swamp was dark again Shadow-Strike was already in place a few meters away standing on a small hill overlooking the lake.

Jetlag and Meltdown had followed the group in, and seemed uninterested in hiding with mud on them. While some might have taken this as vanity were it any other group, Jetlag and Meltdown had other ideas. Seeing an opportunity, Jetlag came over to Taurokhun, staying low. Meltdown following him with the occasional giggle.
"Taurokhun. You realise you'll have no chance masking Meltdown's heat signature don't you? His entire arsenal is based on heat. Your mud won't mask his heat signature, but if your turncoat was to bring a prisoner."
"Why he'd have the perfect little gift for his new friends, little old me, hehe."
"Have Meltdown restrained and placed as a prisoner, I'll fly above and provide aerial recon from a sub-orbital level. Their scanner will be so preoccupied with Meltdown's signature, they'll not notice me."
Jetlag transformed, aiming his Alt Mode vertically as he rocketed upward, blazing to the edge of basic sensor range in a matter of seconds, with his speed showing no sign of abating. Meltdown watched his brother go before looking at Osprey, holding his wrists out in a slightly mocking fashion.
"Take me officer Osprey, but be gentle, it's my first time, I think...hahahahaa!"

"Thanks." Taurokhun looked at the divice and was quite impressed.
Looking at the other cons. "I like your thinking. Osprey. Do as they suggest. It's our best chance." Taurokhun moved away from the others to be better prepared for the trap.

((I will post at the Wrecker HQ after you guys posted here))
Osprey took the cuboid and listened to the order. He was about to go, when Taurok also assigned another task to him. Consider it done, both of you. he said. He activated his feet rockets to hover and again he was about to go, when Meltdown stalled him. Osprey frowned under the battle mask. Out of my way! I have no time for games! he scolded the Decepticon infront of him. He hovered around him, then flew to the nearest lake at north. There he quickly activated the cuboid and instantly dropping it into the lake. That should do it. Next, he changed to vehicle mode and flew to the center of the lakes. He changed back to robot mode and stood at the shore of a lake. He commed Taurok. I'm in position and ready to send a high frequency message to the Wreckers.

Taurokhun commed all other cons. "I appriciate all of your hard work on such short notice. Once shadow and meltdown confirm their position. Begin the operation." He was hidden in some marsh a safe distance from the mines but close enough to charge when he recieved comfirmation it would be safe to charge.

On top of a small hill overlooking the lake Shadow-Strike lay prone with his pitch black battlemask raised over his face hiding all except for his blood red optics. Aside him his Nucelon Charge Rifle was laid out having been recently removed from its compartment within his backplating so it could be modified with a bi-pod. With careful servos the mech ran his digits over the weapon as minuscule pulses emitted from the tip of his spiked digits to look for internal faults. After five minutes of careful prodding the assassin confirmed his weapon was in top condition before he lowered himself onto the ground.
His prone form easily slotting the sniper rifle into place as the bi-pod found purchase on the soft ground, while its stock was held firm against his shoulder. Finally as a last check the mech's visor lowered over his face covering both optics with a small slit of glass, only for the see-through material to then light up as a full heads up display appeared across it. With a glance down his weapon sight the visor connected with the weapon splitting his vison perfectly between what he could currently see and the sights of his weapon.
Finally with his weapon ready and him in place Shadow-Strike's armour began to mimic the temperature around him, successfully cloaking him from heat vision. Now that his checks where done the Decepticon signed into the comm channel to confirm his readiness.
"Ready."

"Hehehe, oh but you do have time, restrain me like the plan said or they'll never think I've been captured. And if they don't, the mission is a failure, and if we fail because you weren't co-operating, hehe, Quaketread is gonna tear your spinal strut out of your exhaust port and give me your agony-contorted face for spare molten metal. Hahahahaaa!"
Meltdown's demeanour had taken an all the more sinister turn, it speared he was not appreciative of Osprey's demeanour. The maniacal Con walked up in place, waiting for Osprey to do as he was supposed to. Looking up, Meltdown noted the stars, with one moving ever so slightly, imperceptible unless you knew what to look for. That had to be Jetlag watching for any sign of movement or counter-ambush. Jetlag tittered to himself, he was aching to move this plan along so he could get to killing Wreckers.
