New Recruits, Anyone?

[Psychowing]

[ Just to make a note, this is based off of ONLY the first two live-action Transformers movies. Whatever happens in the third movie is ignored. ]

Thousands of years wasted on war. A broken race struggles to survive, yet brother still fights brother. Some go mad, some take their own spark to escape from the madness, and others disappear from existence to find refuge. Despite this, the war rages on for the ones that remain “strong” enough to fight.

The Autobots have forced most Decepticons off of the war-torn Cybertron and have began to rebuild what was once their home. More convenient and less harmful ways of gathering energy have been established as well, compared to the devastating Energon Harvester that was destroyed around 23 years ago.

The Autobots and the Decepticons are still the two main Factions. Only recently has a new group branched from one of these. Starscream, driven mad for the lust for power, broke from the Decepticons with followers and formed his own Faction called the Rebelcons.

During this time, another group branched from the two Factions. A young Decepticon named Talon began an alliance between the two main Factions. It's called the Autobot/Decepticon Alliance, or just Alliance for short.

The Alliance is only a small rabble, composed of him and others who believe similarities are more important than differences. The ones usually in this alliance are rebel Decepticons that have lost faith in the Decepticon cause and Autobots that are willing to fight alongside Decepticons for peace. They unofficially ally with the Autobots to fight the Decepticons and the Rebelcons.

Their station is a space station orbiting Earth. Fortunately, with help from the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, a space bridge has been established on Earth for easy travel between Earth and Cybertron. Top scientists operated on the bridge and through a miraculous breakthrough, upgraded it to not only having the ability to transport objects through their universe, but through the entire multiverse as well. Recruits could now be obtained from more than just their own universe…

But it is unknown whether or not anyone would respond…



"Talon, we're gettin' somethin' on radar." spoke a small mech who had to stand on the large module to reach the buttons.

It didn't take long for a tall, charcoal-colored mech to loom over him and peer at the screen. "Can you identify the signal, OverRide?"

"Autobot." he replied, turning around and looking up at the Decepticon, "Might be just goin' ta Earth ta meet up with the Autobots down there. Optimus didn't mention any visitors fer us." he looked back, "...hey, wait a minute..." he pointed at the screen with a claw, "There's somethin' followin' the Autobot. Looks...Decepticon?"

Talon's light-blue optics narrowed. "The Autobot is probably being pursued. Alert Autobot Breakshift to intercept if needed."

OverRide gave a salute with two of his four hands. "Sure thin'!"

[ There's a start for you. I'll let you decide how your character's handling this situation. XD If only we had one more person join this. I always thought 3-person rps were the best. Not too many people and not too little. X3 ]

"You are so annoying." Nightshade told the Decepticon following her as she swerved away. "But, flying sure is fun."
"I'm not following you." the Decepticon growled. "I'm going to the base."
"Why?" Nightshade turned to look at the Decepticon.
"Probably for the same reason you are. To fight for peace." the Decepticon explained, finding the small femme annoying.
"Hmm. Probably." Nightshade chuckled as another Autobot came flying towards them.

[Psychowing]

Autobot Breakshift was a fairly large Autobot with a vehicle alt. mode, but thanks to his built-in jetpack, he could travel in space easily. He flew until he was in sight of the two newcomers. He stopped, a friendly smile on his face. He saw no conflict between the two, so he was at ease. "Good evenin'..." he spoke in a gentlemanly manner, "I am Breakshift, a member of a group that currently monitors this planet's orbit. Are you two lookin' for someone or somethin'?"

He looked at the Decepticon flier and gave a small nod of acknowledgment. "You can be at ease. I have nothin' against Decepticons if they're friendly."

[Neko-chan]

The Decepticon nodded. "My name is Wraith, I have come to-"
"Cool name." Nightshade interrupted.
"Join the alliance." Wraith glared at the femme. What was wrong with her?
"I have too." Nightshade shrugged when she saw the glare. "My name's Nightshade. I'm a hacker."
"Espionage." Wraith was getting even more annoyed with the femme, Nightshade, so he decided to ignore her, even though she was quite good-looking.

[Psychowing]

Breakshift nodded and smiled a little larger. "I'm sure we'd be delighted to have more join our ranks. I'll escort you to the base. It isn't hard to miss."

With that, he turned and flew in the direction of the Alliance base. As they neared it, landing pads extended in a broken circle from near the bottom of the tall structure and massive doors opened. Breakshift landed on one of the pads and waited for Wraith and Nightshade. As he waited, he briefly tapped a finger to the side of his head and sent a com-link message to Talon, informing him about the newcomers.

[Neko-chan]

"So, why did you leave the Decepticons?" Nightshade questioned Wraith as they flew to the base.
"None of your business." he growled.
"Aww, come on." Nightshade coaxed.
"They betrayed me." Wraith suddenly snapped at her, then immediatly was sorry, because she looked hurt. "Sorry. You're just annoying."
"It's fine." Nightshade landed gently, along with Wraith.

[Psychowing]

When the two landed on the landing pad, Breakshift walked inside one of the open doors. "Now, we all have to stay in this room while the air filters in." he spoke as they walked into the small room and the door closed, "This base needs to be constantly monitored for an air leak, for we have others that require a constant amount of oxygen. Have either of you heard of humans?"

There was a hissing sound as air filtered into the small room. Once the process was over, the other door opened, showing the inside of the base. This section of the base had a little bit of everything for when there were missions that needed supplies. A couple medical berths, some equipment for repairs, a small ration of energon, and other supplies. Breakshift only took a couple steps inside before he was greeted by a holler. "Yo, bro!"

Breakshift turned to see a small Decepticon jog up to him. He gave a huge grin and boomed back, "Ahaha, bro!"

The two preformed one of those unusual secret handshakes, then the two chest-bumped. The Decepticon looked at the two newcomers and rose a metal eyebrow with a slight smirk. "Well, what we got heeya? Couple-a newbies?" his crimson optics focused on the femme, "Ohoho, a femme! We don't got enough o' them."

"Shove off, you little slagger." Breakshift said jokingly, giving the small 'Con a shove. He turned to Wraith and Nightshade, "Sorry about that. This is my best bud, Breakshift. Don't worry, he isn't harmful at all."

"You can just call me Decepticon Breakshift." the 'Con said proudly, puffing out his narrow chest, "We are bros, you see. We got the same name. Brotha from anotha motha!"

Talon was still on his way from near the top of the base where Communications was.

[Neko-chan]

"I've heard of humans." Nightshade nodded."I've hacked into their computers plenty of times. Nice to meet you too."
"I lived with humans for some time." Wraith told the other Decepticon. "Did Megatron betray you to the enemy as well?"

[Psychowing]

Decepticon Breakshift hesitated slightly at Wraith's question. "...You could say dat."

A soft sound like someone was clearing their throat was heard and both Breakshifts turned around to see Talon standing behind them. Decepticon Breakshift jumped. "Woah! 'Ey, Commanda!"

Autobot Breakshift saluted him. "These are the two newcomers, Commander Talon."

Talon slightly smiled and nodded. "Thank you. You two may resume your duties."

Both saluted that time and left. Talon turned and focused on Nightshade and Wraith. He was a decent height, yet slightly smaller than Wraith, and was a bit younger than any other Cybertronian. His overall shape was somewhat triangular, with oddly-bent legs that, if stretched out, could give him an extra 5 or so feet in height. Black, etched markings decorated parts of his left side and a Decepticon insignia adorned the ridge of metal that protected part of his neck. He was darkly-colored, mostly charcoal, except for some silver and small traces of blue. A scar crossed his left optic. Some viewed him as intimidating because of his appearance while others saw him as militaristic with a soft spark due to his expressions. He had a warm smile, but was a little weary. He has had good encounters with unknown Cybertronians...and also bad ones.

Talon folded his claws behind his back and his light-blue optics briefly flickered. "Welcome." he spoke in a smooth, clear voice, "I am Talon, leader of the Autobot/Decepticon Alliance. My guard told me that you two were interested in joining, am I correct?"

[Neko-chan]

"Pretty much." Nightshade nodded.
"She means yes." Wraith glared at the small femme. She was really annoying. "When can we start?"
Nightshade chuckled. "Actually, how long before-"
"Shut up." Wraith interrupted, not wanting to hear her question, thinking it most likely wouldn't pertain to anything they were discussing.
"We meet another hacker?" Nightshade continued as if he hadn't interrupted, though she did give him a slightly-annoyed look.

[Psychowing]

[ I just realized I used "slightly" way too many times in that last post. >.<" It was late. *fixes* ]

Talon was a little boggled at the irritation between the two, but kept his expression serious. "I'm glad about your enthusiasm, but you should be initiated and given a tour." he gave a small smile, "It's good to know where you're going. May I ask your names? And don't worry, there are a few hackers here. You will meet them in time."

[Neko-chan]

"Yay!" Nightshade cheered. "I'm Nightshade, an Autobot Hacker."
"I'm Wraith, Decepticon spy." Wraith sighed at the way Nightshade acted.

[Psychowing]

Talon nodded. "Well, Nightshade and Wraith, I will personally give you a tour of the Alliance base. You will also be introduced to the Commanders of each 'class.' But first, I will require all your weapons. Any weapon systems that cannot be removed will be temporarily disabled. I do not accuse you of anything. It is merely a precaution for new recruits to be disarmed in case of trickery."

[Neko-chan]

Nightshade willingly handed over her plasma swords and disabled her guns. She watched with an amused look on her face as Wraith reluctantly handed over his energon swords and disabled his sonic blaster.
"Is there a reason we have to do this?" he demanded.
"There's a reason for everything." Nightshade chuckled, then her optics widened. "Hey look! A shooting star!"

[Psychowing]

Talon carried the weapons to a small storage bin and carefully placed them in it. He closed and locked it with a code. "There have been a few who entered this base with destructive intentions. It's better to be safe than sorry."

He turned to them and gazed out of a window into space. "...It is wondrous out here. There is nothing to block the natural beauty of space..."

The mech began walking to a hallway that led out of the launch bay. "Follow me... Now, even though I am the leader of this group, I prefer to be called Commander Talon, understood?"

The first room they entered was a massive room full of different machinery, some built, some being worked on. Small groups of Autobots and Decepticons gathered around their work, mumbling to each other and adjusting their devices. One particularly large and bulky femme walked from one group to the other, giving tips and answers. "Usually every class has their own room, but this section is for engineers and scientists." Talon said, "They work especially well together. There is no definite commander for the Engineers, but there is one for the scientists. ChromeSpark?"

The femme looked up from viewing an invention and softly smiled. She walked over to the three. "This is Commander ChromeSpark. While she is superb in science, she also is learning to aid medics." he introduced, "ChromeSpark, these are two new recruits, Nightshade and Wraith."

ChromeSpark gave a small bow and smiled pleasantly. "Hello." she spoke in a soft voice, "Whenever you are curious of our work, feel free to drop by. I love to teach others. And speaking of teaching..."

She turned her head slightly and looked down with her blue optics. A human female only in her 20's peeked out from behind her neck, her green eyes curious. She then walked from behind and stood on ChromeSpark's shoulder. Talon's optics widened. "So, that's where you were."

The human grinned and placed her hands on her hips. "Of course. What do you think I do most of the time while I'm here? Soon enough, I'll be able to build my own." she winked at him playfully.

Talon smiled and gestured in her direction. "This is Helena, one of our human allies on this base. Please watch your step while you're here.."

She looked at Nightshade and Wraith and waved. "Hello!"
