"Yeah, well I got me some stuff ta do," Whirl told Earthquake shortly, "So I gotta put off my procrastinationatin' until later."
He stalked out of the garage, headed for the command room.

*Earthshaker shrugged and decided to follow Whirl, figuring he should introduce himself to the main chain.*

Round up checked his wrist mounted computer, a red blip was showing on it. he pressed the screen then read the message off his visor and gestured for Deputy to follow, he got down off the crate and transformed his pedes, folding them back up to reveal a set of treads he wheeled himself after Round Up as they left.

Good, looks like the last of them left for now.
Thunder kept hidden behind some crates, peeking out to see any surveillance cameras. Luckily enough, this place has been without activity for so long that not all of its more-refined systems are up and running yet. Thunder hooked a cable into his wrist pad.
Already set up a security network. Clever. Let's get a map of this place.
He got a quick readout of the Metroplex base. A map detailing from the garage to what seemed to be this "Vating's" office.
I'm not good enough to just send the base into a frenzy. Besides, these guys just went through hell...I can't do that to them. But they're not my Autobots, and I can't trust any of them. Except for their leader, the one person who gave me mercy aside from Diamond. I want to help, but I don't know how. Alright...vents are a no go, too big to fit. I'll just have to walk right up to him...without sticking out. Alright...let's see what we got.
Thunder then spotted what appeared to be some conveniently placed electronic paint, a weapon's case, and a visor. It didn't take him long to cover up his stipes, slick back his helm spikes and crests, store his swords inside the weapons case, and place a visor on. He looked like any generic edgy Autobot with a visor. He began the feedback loop and started his trek to Vating's room.
"I look like a tool." He spoke to himself softly as he made his way towards his destination in his generic disguise.

:To all Autobots in the garage, please open the shutters and move out of the way, we are making a landing.::Copy that, shutters opening.:Rangefinder flew in towards the shutters at an incredibly high speed, he slowed down just enough to skid to a stop after transforming, along with helping Shadowzone with his own landing. Upon transforming, Shadowzone would be released, but only for a moment as Rangefinder would try to grab onto the mech and hoist him over his shoulder. Upon hitting the ground, Rangefinder would skid along the ground, well until his injured knee gave in and he fell over, at which time, he would still be sitting up to protect his passenger, and use his aft to finish the slide. All in all, it still looked very impressive of a landing. ShadowZone

"Well, that was unique." It was surprising that ShadowZone had actually uttered a brief laugh, as his usual demanour was quite calm and rather bland. He had even smiled even if the last part of the landing had not been exactly perfectly graceful. It was however impresive enough that nothing got damaged too much. He began to slowly attempt to disentangle himself from the mess, some concern visible on the 'cushion' that had made the landing better. "Are you alright?" He asked his optics dropping towards the leg he had known to be in a bit of a bad state earlier. If he managed to get up first, he would be pulling Rangefinder up with him and assisting him with the walk, with an arm thrown over his shoulder. "Medbay first." Was said in a much more composed and calm tone. After a few steps he leaned down to lift the transport jet fully of the ground and just continued walking. In addition to that he added via comm to Vatimus Prime since he could not reach Sky's own comm much as he'd tried. :: Reporting arrival, ShadowZone and Rangefinder.:: Vatimus Prime

The teen swordsman continued to try to his very best to be stealthy and casual-looking at the same time. Not the best executed plan, but none of the plans to be executed in the past 48-hours have either. He looked to see the Garage, and the open bay overlooking the ruined Iacon. "This world...this is what my Cybertron must have looked like before..." Thunder mumbled to himself. WheelSpin

"Hey Tool." The voice was a pleasant albeit rather quiet purr. It was close, far too close even. The steps had been quiet of course, but then that was what tyres with additional front part of the pedes padding would do, enable a silent approach. Wheelspin was wiping his servos on the cloth he had gotten in the medbay. His own still missing. He reached into his subspace then, tucking it away. "Word of advice." He reached out and patted the back of the bot in a friendly manner, steering them away from the view of the guards. Some of them had been ordered to focus on what was happening outside of the base so their line of view had already been directed elsewhere. "If you want to fit in, don't act in a way that will make you stand out." Such advice from someone who was painted the most colourful type of paint on his chassis, was almost comical, but the tone had been serious, the voice very quiet, and meant only for the bot that Prime seemed to have approved to leave and trust. There was just a few things more he wanted to say, before he'd let the bot scram. Thunder

Thunder was alerted and almost instinctively went to grab his swords, but just moved with the mech after recognizing the voice and seeing his intentions seeming beneficial. Once they were out of view, he replied.
"You're the sniper from before. Wheelspit, right?"
Thunder then grabbed Wheelspin's arm and removed it from his back. Not enough to hurt him, but enough to make it clear that the mistrust was mutual between them.

"WheelSpin." He corrected in stride. Any other time he might have pulled a weapon on somebody daring to harm his arm or servo, but this time the point was not to attract attention to themselves, not the opposite. He jerked his arm away once the grab was made for it, avoiding as much of the additional contact as possible. If metal struck metal in a way that it could suggest a struggle, attention would be drawn. He had already needed to comm the Autodrone in the control room to stand down. "Tool! Do you want to attract attention and get shot?" He said sharply, his optics narrowing on Thunder. "I don't trust you.... but the Prime apparently does." He gave the bot a onceover. "You were seen by at least some Cons earlier. Fighting on our side. You'll need a makeover." He did not say what he thought he would need it for, or why he would even suppose so. "And coming into base again..without looking like a clown and raising the whole base because of it.." He murmured studying the digits on one of his servos. "That can be arranged. But mark my words. You betray the Prime, any of us, and you'll wish you were dead." His voice was quiet enough that but for those closest would not pick up on his words - which really meant, just Thunder. Thunder

"I'm good on the makeover, and I don't intend on staying in the base. I'll be outside the city, I'll exit the base using some old tunnels underground." Thunder spoke, then his optics checked the people near them, "I'll keep an eye on Diamond. She's so full of vengeance and hatred, I'll make sure she's safe." He then started to walk from him, "Thanks for the advice, but don't ever threaten me again."
Thunder would then take that time to start walking down a rather deserted hallway. He stopped, suddenly.
"Oh yeah, one more thing--"
Thunder then drew his sword and within an instant, and pointed it at the Autodrone that was preparing to follow him. The tip was a centimeter away from the bot's visor. Thunder then placed the sword in his back scabbard.
"And stop following me, Rainbow dash." Thunder continued walking.

"You were seen in that ... 'get up'. Whatever you want to call that paintjob." He was certainly not impressed about it. "...by the Decepticons, but sure...Your funeral." He smirked and rolled his optics. "Good luck finding them." This was once a living being, there were no tunnels underneath. "You really don't get what this place is eh?" He was about to say more, but the idiot pulled a weapon on one of the autodrones. One of their own. He drew his own weapon, not a null ray, to keep leveled on Thunder. Had he so much as scratched the autodrone with that blade, he would have been dead, shot point blank in his helm. "...Look. I'd advise you to stay far away from Diamond. One, she is no maiden in distress, but a skilled fighter, two, she is taken, has been taken and has a sparkling so stop pining for her, and three .. Doubt you'll live long enough." Seriously, what did this bot think he was?! He must've hit his head a bit hard on the way down - is what WheelSpin thought. He was half tempted to stop his advance and have him taken in for hostilities shown towards his side. He was very tempted actually. "The exit is the other way. Tool." He added indicating the actual exit doors behind him. While his optics followed Thunder as he was leaving, he sent a comm to Vating instead :: Your newbot pulled a weapon on one of our own. Surveillance shot of will be waiting for you in the command room.:: Thunder Vatimus Prime

"Metroplex. I know where I'm going, pride-parade. I saved the big guy once before." He looked back to Wheelspin, "I can take care of myself. Thanks for the advice."
Thunder would continue going down the hall. He didn't care much for Wheelspin, he wasn't who he was taking orders from. As for Diamond, he knew. He knew that she was taken, he knew that she had a child. But he also knew what it was like to lose someone you care for to that masked monster. If they weren't going to kill Tarn, he was. He couldn't in his world, he will here.

"Metroplex. I know where I'm going, pride-parade. I saved the big guy once before." He looked back to Wheelspin, "I can take care of myself. Thanks for the advice." Thunder walked down the hall, tapping his wrist-pad and seeing that it worked. His access to the comm-network beforehand and his brief access into Metroplex's network gave him access to the Metrotitan's surveillance network. Should help him and their boss with making sure footage of him was to be kept to their optics and their optics alone. As for Diamond, he knew. He knew that she was taken, he knew that she had a child. But he also knew what it was like to lose someone you care for to that masked monster. If they weren't going to kill Tarn, he was. He couldn't in his world, he will here. The strange phantom appears again. ' Your not very good at making friends... 'It seemed to rise out of the ground. internally illuminated by a sickly green glow. Seeming to follow beside him.

Thunder walked past it, seeming to ignore it as he walked towards another exit, one more discreet.
"Okay Thunder, note to self: come up with better insults. And get anti-psychotics, you're seeing/hearing things now."

' Interesting how you only seem to be able to see me... But that's something for another time. '
The phantom shrugs and follows.
' Seeing as your the only one I can talk to... How about we help each other out? Eh? I'll help you with your little personal vendetta... In return you help me escape this immaterial prison... '
The phantom slams his fist into the wall, which phases thru the wall.
' Considering you got me into this situation... I... I've just realized you don't know who I am...'

Wheelspin while still in audio shot of Thunder would respond. "What you did in your recharge dreams, doesn't make it as something that happened for real. You know." Helping out Metroplex? Right, not in this life. He doubted him, even more so because he was so much 'brag' and so little show, in his opinion. A teller of tall tales, is what he was beginning to dub him. "You are acting all tough but you're just a little mech lost and scared. Now stop 'wandering about' and leave. The door is that way." He had followed Thunder for that short while, to ensure that he heard him, but also because frankly, he did not trust him to go about base again so freely. The mech would have it in his best interests to return and finally leave through the appropriate exit and not 'wander about' any more. His patience was wearing thin. Thunder

"Alright, you're obviously the summation of the guilt I feel. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to resist the urge to kick a cuck in the cock." He muttered to himself before turning around, optics glowing a tad brighter than before, "Look I was joking about the whole 'gay pride parade' thing, clown car. But if you do swing that way, hate to break it to ya, I don't date betas. Now take a hint, before I take a finger or three."
He kept walking. Hoping both the ghost, and Wheelspin, would screw right off. However, he knew neither would.
"Besides, there's an exit right here." He tapped a part of the wall, opening a panel and tapping in a set of numbers in ancient Cybertronian, revealing a passageway, "Believe it or not, Alpha Trion showed me this one when we saved him. It's how we were able to escape the young Pri--you know what, never mind. I'm leaving, now please Frag the Frag off." He requested with a sassy, irritated tone.
Only seconds later he walked out and towards the other exit.
"It was a closet. Leaving." He mumbled, and moved on.

The phantom a lets out an oddly familiar laugh. Amused at Thunder's screw up.
' I don't need to be a figment of your imagination to know how much of an idiot you feel like right now! '
He folds his arms.
' Although it is nice to see the moron who stuck me in this hell make an ass of himself... I'm annoyed you forgot what you did to strand both of us in this place though. I mean really, how do you forget fighting someone literally made of birds? I thought we were all goners, but nope some how I'm all floaty and your still such an excellent conversationalist...'

Wheelspin chuckled at the threat. Had he not been given orders from the Prime, this bot would have been offlined a few insults ago. But his little threat about taking fingers, like he could actually achieve that, was adorable and amusing. His want to insult by calling him a beta, which was pretty much suggesting that if an alpha was the Prime, he was next, was not really that much of an insult. He rolled his optics at him. The moment Vating would no longer need this bot would be the moment this bot would no longer have the use of his arms, legs, optics,and generally would be either offlined or stuck transformed into something awfully ridiculous for good. He was lucky. Far too damn lucky. "Look, Omega runt." Just to humour his 'title giving'. This would have been an insult had Thunder done it right in the fist place. "First, learn to back that cockiness up with something of value, because right now, you are a ridiculous charade of yap yap yap, with no substance. Second, stop dreaming, this is the reality. " He watched him leave the closet, the smuggest expression on his face. "Oh dear, no closet portals to another dimension there, who would have thought." His words dripping with sarcasm. He would keep the surveillance on Thunder, until he was fully and clearly outside before returning to the medbay. Thunder
