Thousands of years ago, before the great War on Cybertron, there was a valiant data clerk who worked at the Iacon Hall of Records. She did her job dutifully and with great care, but could sometimes get a little too immersed in her work. Under the watchful eye of Alpha Trion, the cybertronian known as Starscribe worked alongside Orion Pax to maintain the mountains of information they had under their care.

In the Age of Rust, when the threat of Decepticon terrorists started to spread and her fellow data clerk Orion took interest in an ideological ex-gladiator known as Megatronus, Starscribe was charged with an important duty. She never saw it through, as under mysterious circumstances, she disappeared, and was never seen again.

Until now.

An ancient stasis pod entered the atmosphere of Earth, the friction of the upper layers forming a fiery glow around the front of it, potentially alerting those below to its approach. By pure chance, the pod was on a collision course with the Vasyugan swamp, right in the middle of an Autobot/Decepticon conflict.

Colliding and skidding along the muddy swamp ground, the pod finally came to a halt relatively near to the confrontation, and as the pod opened, the cybertronian inside took her first breath in millenia. Starscribe had arrived.

A Groundbridge would open as Sydrone ran out of the portal, obviously looking for the stasis pod that crash landed. He would then slid behind the cover that Blockade had taken the new arrival under Two newbies. Just great. Soldier... Uh, names can wait. You hold off the Decepticons and I'll get her back through a bridge. Sydrone said to Blockade, pulling up his hood. His Neutron Assault Rifle would load itself as he readied it for battle.

"Whoa, what in the wo-" Confused by the situation at hand, Starscribe offered little resistance as the cybertronian who seemingly had her safety at heart got her to cover. "What's going on here? Where am I?!!"

Sydrone smirked and nodded Good idea, rookie. Sydrone would then hear a familiar voice and smile ::Too long, Emp. Where ya been?:: he asked her before looking at Starscribe Got any weapons on you, Miss? he asked her, holding him his neutron assault rifle over the cover that they were behind.

::Doing stuff...:: The line went silent for a moment. In an off tone she replied once more, ::I'm sure your friend Blackjack will enlighten you.::

Empress certainly was not ready to explain what she had happened over the last week or so. She was still trying to come to terms with the ordeal. Pressing for a response, the femme continued.

::Is the newcomer in need of help? Are they in shock or anything of the sort? It's best not to keep them in a battle field.:;

Taurok commed to shadow strike. "When you see fit activate the shield trap. And we will have them fall in mud."

Taurokun had been moving through the mud towards the three autobots where. He jumped out throwing a low yield rocket at them before blanketing the area with twenty small wolverine missiles. This has the capacity to do small to moderate damage if it hit and the low yield provided a concussive exploration.

Taurokhun spun behind a rock. "Now. You have two options. You can fight me three on one. It might almost be a fair fight but you Still be better to die." Taurokhun let out a loud sigh. "Honour why do you do this to me?" Taurokhun flicked a cigar through the air and it spiralled to where he last saw the autobot.

"You are new here and you don't look like you are ready got s fight. Leave with one of the autobots. And I swear I won't chace you down. But if all of you leave you'll all be crushed."

(void)

"Earth??? What-?" Starscribe yelped as violence continued around her. "I need to get out of here! Where in the name of Primus can I go??"

Sydrone snapped his fingers and a Groundbridge opened. He then pushed the femme towards the portal Through there! NOW! Sydrone would say urgently. He would then grab her and make a dash towards the portal.
