What the Flying Frag?!? (Open)

[Slingshot]

(Earth Date: September 30, 2027. Earth Time: 02:53 hours Zulu)

Slingshot was bored and tired from his long journey through space to the third planet in the Sol System. He had picked up on Prime's call as he entered the Solar Well and used what speed he could manage to cut his trip down time wise.

He picked up on some Cybertronian signatures on the fourth planet of the Sol System, a red looking planet that according to most of the data he could find floating around the radio-waves of this part of space it was known by the Organics of the third planet as Mars, named after a mythical God of War.

'How amusingly apt for them to name it such.' he thought to himself as he tried to scan the southern pole of Mars to see if his reading were off at all, 'Surely there are no Autobots on Mars! Prime would have told us in his messages that we were to go there instead of the third planet!' he added to his internal monologue of thoughts.

He paused for a moment and thought back on what his brothers might be doing right about now, whether they be on the third planet or still in space searching for each other and their Prime.

~"I'm here bro's, anyone of ya hear me? Anyone?"~ he sent across his sibling bonds then he tried Wheeljack's bond with them to see if he could get through to him, ~"Creator? Are you there? Please somebody answer me!"~ he added in a plea like mental voice, he had been away from his brothers and their Creator way too long to his reckoning and he was tired of not being able to communicate with any of them, especially since he wasn't the type of Aerial to whine like that ever.

[Mindwarp]

On the surface of the red planet was a large black figure. Ok, well, technically it wasn't on the surface, the femme was hovering a good distance above the ground, above a crater she had just recently left from entry. Apparently she had missed the mark by a whole planet, and considering the hypersensitivity of her body and her overall mass the impact was not the most pleasant of experiences and she was by no means looking forward to having to go through it again. ~"Well... Isn't this just great?"~ she said with a cheerful tone and a broad smile, though in all truth she was entirely sarcastic.

She glared down at the crater a moment longer before picking up an Autobot signal passing near the planet she had found herself on. She looked up towards it curiously. ~"Well that's interesting... Wonder if I've got company or if they're just passing by. It is a bit boring here, wouldn't mind some fun..."~

[Slingshot]

Slingshot's close radar pinged that there was another Cybertronian signature nearby, but because of the Asteroids he had flown through to get here his systems were fritzing out at the worst possible times, thus making it hard to determine if they were friend or foe.

Flying over the area he scanned the surface with his optics and other scanners and was surprised to pick up a Femme energy reading, now completely bemused to say the least he flew closer to see if they were friendly or not. He would try and act like a Gentlemech to the Femme, but as for anything else - who knew how the encounter was going to turn out.

[Mindwarp]

The femme smiled as she saw the Autobot draw closer. Likely he was curious, which she couldn't blame him for, and she wasn't about to complain seeing as how she was going to get at least some entertainment from this. He appeared close enough to be able to see her clearly so she lifted an arm up into the air and waved at him, using her whole arm to ensure she got his attention. She would play nice at first. After all, she couldn't help the way she acted so she might as well make use of it. ~"Hey! If you're looking for Earth it's a bit further! Next planet over! I sorta missed the mark myself..."~ she called up to him, using the natural tone of her voice to seem like a sort of optimistic damsel in distress. If all went well he'd come and offer to help her.

[Slingshot]

Seeing the Femme below him he lowered enough to catch what she shouted to him about Earth being the next planet over, and sighed. Deciding that the Femme was probably dented up from the landing she had - he had noticed the crater blow her - he could probably lend a hand or two and help fix her up enough to make it to the Planet Earth with him.

Calling back to her he said, ~"Be right there to help ya out. And thanks for the directions, got a bit distracted by the hue of this planet and decided to check it out. Ya realize that ya lucky I came along!"~ he added in a somewhat cocky tone as he continued to decend enough to hover infront of her as she too hovered above her crash/landing site.

[Skydive]

Literally just a few thousand feet above the two, Skydive flew over, having been close to his brother's location, and also having heard his pathetic whine over the bond. Well, he couldn't say no to THAT tone of voice. Still, who was that femme he was with? It wasn't a good idea to be on Mars, he knew. One of the Decepticon war ships had crashed here, so who knew which 'Con could be lurking around somewhere. Veering off to approach the two whilst keeping his signal masked, he made sure not to frighten Slingshot by speaking through the bond first. //~"Slingshot, what are you doing near Mars? Prime said it was Earth, the next planet over."~\\ He sighed, glancing briefly towards the small blue ball in the distance. Maybe the others had made it there already, and were waiting for them. Slag, maybe Wheeljack was there. He wanted to find out, but if Slingshot got into trouble, he might as well be there to help out.

[Mindwarp]

Mindwarp smiled up at Slingshot as he shouted down to her offering to help, though he should be none the wiser as to why she was really smiling. She seemed friendly enough, she couldn't help that, and she had found that to be rather helpful in some situations. ~"I guess I am, thanks!"~ she called back. She looked down at the crater and then back up at Slingshot chuckling slightly. ~"Was sorta a rough landing as you can see... I'm not looking forward to a repeat of that."~ Just thinking about it made her wince a bit, one of the three sets of wings on her back twitching slightly.

[Slingshot]

Getting lower to help the Femme, Slingshot twitched when he felt one of his brothers talk along their bond. Feeling back along the bond he internally jumped for joy and sent as much back across the bond to Skydive whilst he watched the Femme twitch one of the.... 'Was that three sets of wings on her back?' he thought as he hovered closer, whilst still sending happy feelings through his sibling bond.

~"Ya know 'Dive, I wasn't sure that any of ya were around here yet. And as for the mix up in the planets? I decided to take a closer look at this one... see if anyone else was here... ya know in case they was injured like. If there was no one here I was gonna go on ahead to the blue and green planet next door. I just hope that our Carrier is there, and hopefully the rest of our brothers too. It's been too long without all of ya."~ he said as he watched the Femme closely for any sign of trouble.

[Skydive]

Skydive had to admit - to himself, mind - that his brother had a point. It was better to check the neighbouring planet of Earth for injured Autobots, especially if there was the off chance that one of their brothers had crashed there. //~"I'm not sure about our Dad. I'm not even sure about Air Raid, which is concerning. But I can definitely feel Silverbolt and Fireflight. Not nearby, but they're there."~\\ He replied, transforming and kicking in his thrusters to slowly descend to the red planet below. He scanned the femme quietly, still uncertain of the whole thing. If she hurt Slingshot, he would be instantly down there to help him, but she herself seemed injured, so maybe nothing bad would happen. Yet.

[Slingshot]

Taking the risk and facing towards his brother, he nodded. //~"I know what ya mean Bro, I can feel them there but the distance is straining the connection. Wish we could feel Dad this way too, ya know, then we would know where he was at and if he was well or not. I may not show it all the time but I do worry for him, he raised us alright considering he was not born with wings."~\\

He then shrugged his shoulders, his wings twitching as he did so as they received information about everything around him and went back to watching the Femme in front of them, it wouldn't do for the Femme to attack him now when he had offered to help her out, especially with one of his Brothers there too as his backup. He mused that the sooner he helped this Femme out the sooner he and Skydive could head on over to the blue and green planet next door and hopefully find the rest of their family and the other Autobots.

[Mindwarp]

Mindwarp watched as the two mechs approached to make sure she was alright. So, he had company did he? Well that was going to make things a bit more interesting. Perhaps she'd have to wait a bit, gain the trust of both of them. Shame, she hated waiting, it was difficult for her sometimes. But she looked at it this way, it should be a lot more fun if they both trusted her. Maybe she could make a game out of it. See if she could get them to escort her all the way to Earth before she showed her true colors. ~"Sorry for being such a pain, you guys probably have much more important things to be doing than checking on me..."~ she said, still smiling.

[Skydive]

//~"You and me both."~\\ Skydive sighed in response. Were it possible, he'd jump at the thought of having an actual creation bond with their father. The ability to feel their one creator and not just have to guess at where he had gone would be amazing, and it'd make the Aerialbots as a whole feel a lot better. But there were downsides as well; if one of them got hurt, their father would be involved in the pain they felt. Not to mention, would the bond be able to handle the strain of Superion's presence? His thoughts were interrupted by the femme in front of them. She seemed nice enough. His thrusters shut off as his feet hit the surface, and he shrugged slightly. ~"It isn't like we're in a hurry. You look like you could use some help."~ He answered. Well, realistically, they were in a hurry to reunite with their brothers and their father, but a bot in need was a bot in need.
