"Precision Strike" (Trevor, Billy, Sides, OPEN)

[Capt. Caliene Meredith]

((Date = October 5th, 2027; Time 14:30 hours [Takes place directly after "Transfered"]))

Caliene was whooping loudly when she and her Truck exited the Ground Bridge at her Property in New Jersey. She was happy she was home, it meant she could relax some more, not by much but enough that she could enjoy showing Trevor and Billy around whilst they were there.

Pulling up next to her home, she shut off her Truck's engine and slid out of the cab smiling placing her pack on her back as she shut the door and walked over to where the other three were.

"So how'd ya like ya first trip through the Ground Bridge? I know this place don't look like much, but as I've told many who have come through here since it was completed... there is more to this Property than meets the eye at first glance." she said as she placed her pack on the ground at her feet so as to not jostle the contents too much, wouldn't want an accident now would she.

"I feel all tingly, but I can get used to it." Billy replied with a chuckle as they got out of Sideswipe's alternate mode. His eyes shifted about. He hadn't really been on open land like this away from a large population before, he was very sheltered growing up and his parents usually didn't pester him to go out much beyond local parks. The fresh air and openness seemed almost strange to him. He felt slightly...isolated. But at least he was here with others, so it wasn't that bad in the end.

Interceptor would sneak through the bridge once everyone had their backs to his position where he was parked. He carefully counted the seconds it took for each of them to go through before turning invisible, transforming and dashing through the bridge in a slight blur at the last possible second before the bridge closed right behind him. But he didn't play meet and greet just yet, he skittered off on all fours behind one of the sheds nearest them, desperately trying to not kick up much dust/grass etc as he moved. He waited to see where they moved to or if they stayed in this current spot for too long before making himself known with a surprise greeting.

Trevor got out of Sideswipe, feeling strange to have gone through something like that,"Like Billy said definitely very tingly." He agreed and gave the property a quick scan with his gaze amazed at the space it had. No wonder Caliene created a training field however,it seemed like the perfect place to do so and he was quite looking forward to the training and looking around. He made a mental note to also bring his sword next time since he carried around often along with smaller daggers sometimes though he had not thought to on his first day.

When the two had gotten out Sideswipe transformed and chuckled,"You'll get use to it don't worry, well that's if you go through it a couple times then it's no sweat."He said before looking at the completed area, smiling as he and Notitia had helped with it a while back but his gaze saddened since he had not talked to his friend for a week or two by now and hung his head. He didn't really think the others would notice and didn't really look at them since he didn't want the three humans wondering what was wrong.

[Capt. Caliene Meredith]

Laughing at the chatter between the three males, she walked towards the house and dug her keys out of one of her numerous pockets and unlocked the door. Walking in and turning off the Internal Alarm set up she had for Motion Sensors, she walked back to the door and called out to the three she had come with.

"Are ye comin' in ta grab a bite ta eat and a drink befor' we get ta the Shootin' Range in the U.W.R. or do ya wanna go out wit' a rumbling stomach/tank? 'Cause either way... Ah'm gonna grab a bite and drink real quick seeing as it is past lunch now and ah don't see us gettin' off da Shooting Range too aweful early, 'specially since ah'm checkin' you two newbies out befor' ol' 'Hide gets ta ya. Sideswipe on da other hand... he's here ta watch and possibly show ya along wit' meh helpin' him, what it's like ta work alongside one o' these mechs. We have done this before, shortly after ah came along... ah think ah scared him with how good ah was. Learned ta nevah underestimate meh though, smart Mech." she added as she stood with her arms crossed over her chest that was now devoid of her jacket and was down to her t-shirt.

Not waiting for more than a few seconds after finishing her sentence she disappeared into her home and started making herself a large sandwich and grabbing a bag of chips and a bottle of Dragon Fruit Vitamin Water, she didn't know about the guys but she was ravenous and tucked into her meal with a gusto that would make her mother cry.

[Billy Morgan]

Billy nodded at Sideswipe with a brief smile. Billy didn't have much to say regarding being tested. He was almost certain he wouldn't meet their standards...he had always been the worst with a gun at FLAG and was still jumpy around them to this day. He still fainted at the sight of blood, too. "Actually food would be nice, I'll join you. That flight was pretty long and I didn't bring much, them planes can be pretty dirty." he replied as he followed Caliene inside one of the main buildings they were near. He was completely to the fact that a certain AI had masked his signal and was just behind the other building folded up in his vehicle mode. "But I don't want to invade your space so tell me if there's anything I shouldn't touch." he added as he observed what she had prepared before preparing a similar meal as hers but with slightly different contents.

Interceptor on the other hand, Billy knew the AI vehicle would do well with target practice, he was certain about that much at least.

((skipping this round with Interceptor))

Looking away from the training field Trevor followed after Caliene and Billy when they came inside, looking at the place quietly before looking at them. "No thanks, I ate before I came to the base today so I'm good for a while." He assured them in a calm tone as he leaned against the wall, quite content to be where he was. Trevor really wasn't a talker to begin with nor was he much of a people person save for on rare occasions, he was actually one fo the most quiet people one could meet.

Of course they might think differently when seeing him on the battle field, people always saw something different during some situations. It just would depend such as now he was quiet and listening but on the battle field they would see someone totally different.

Sideswipe looked after them when he snapped out of his thoughts, giving a quick glanced around the field, thinking he had an odd feeling but pushed it aside as he came near the house and transformed. "Hey Cali mind if this blades master joins you?"Sideswipe asked with a grin as his holo-form appeared and peeked inside at them. If Trevor and Billy thought his holo-form was cool now wait till he see how he could actually interact with them in new ways,"That's if you don't mind of course."He said having a excited grin since he wanted to see the reactions.

[Capt. Caliene Meredith]

Cali smiled at hearing Billy saying,"Actually food would be nice, I'll join you. That flight was pretty long and I didn't bring much, them planes can be pretty dirty. But I don't want to invade your space so tell me if there's anything I shouldn't touch." she told him what she told most who knew her knew, "Dun worry Billy, ah'll let yer know when ya not ta touch somethin' just be careful about what yer stand next ta weapons wise in da house and yer shouldn't have a problem." smirking even more.

After hearing from Trevor that he wasn't hungry, she collected up her now empty plate and took a final swig from her Vitamin drink then tossing the plate into the sink and the empty bottle into the recycle canister before starting to put the food stuffs away where they were supposed to be. She was just reaching for the shelf where the cookies were placed, when Sideswipe asked if he could come on in. Not expecting this Cali jumped, dropping the package of cookies and drawing her service pistol to aim in the direction of the voice.

Seeing Sideswipe's Holoform she cussed under her breath and replaced her pistol back into it's holster. "I don't mind Sides' but a little more warning next time! Yer almost got yer Holoform's hairs split because of tha'." she said as she calmed down her breathing and walked on over to the Blades Master. "Yer know Sides', these guys ain't seen either of us in action yet... what do ya say to a little show fer 'em before we take 'em to shoot a few clips? I know the systems finally got the bugs worked out for the U.W.R. and I think that this would be a nice eye opener for them to see how we do things. Wha' do ya think?" she asked as she was now close enough to sling an arm across his shoulders and turned so that she was facing Billy and Trevor with a slight smirk on her face.

What she didn't tell Sideswipe was that she was going to get him back for making her jump like a raw recruit in front of the newbies. She would get her revenge, though she would take her time doing so. As she waited for the response she thought on what to grab from the house before they headed across the yard to the U.W.R. Did she dare bring her swords with her? Or was she going to bring her rifle? Maybe both? She was going to have to ponder rather hard to figure it out.

[Billy Morgan]

Billy finished his own meal and followed Caliene back outside, listening to them chatter. He folded his arms and watched her and Sideswipe interact. He had no preference as to what they did since he was merely a guest here. He was still unaware to Interceptor being nearby, and the Bot would be quiet until something worth joining in came up. He had a feeling he was in for quite a show, given that Caliene was a NEST operative, and even the girls back at FLAG could kick butt more than he ever could!!

[Deleted]

Looking as Caliene jumped Sideswipe’s holo-form rubbed the back of his neck and smiled looking at her, half expecting to get smacked but relaxed when she merely suggested showing the two newbies something. “I say we do it, got anything in particular in mind?” Sideswipe said with a wide grin, already several things popping into his processor on how to get these newbies likely on their toes or having them dumb founded like most that came through the base or now even there. It was always a funny sight to see and the blades master was looking forward to showing off.

Half the time he wasn’t able to do so since he spent much of his time training new recruits of getting others up and going for exercise. Though luckily Ironhide helped a lot with the combat training and the older burly mech was able to get his breaks too as Sideswipe could help often unless one of the human instructors took over.

[Deleted]

Trevor watched them before he headed outside with Caliene and Billy, trying not to laugh as Caliene seemed to be easily startled by Sideswipe’s holo-form. Though he merely listened quietly, wondering if anything would really be an eye opener to him anymore, nothing really did nowadays and he hadn’t exactly been that surprised about giant robotic beings. Surprise however was sometimes hidden, many emotions were with Trevor and even now he was holding a neutral expression and air about him since they had met. Though he was patient and waited for Sideswipe and Caliene to pick something to do.

[Capt. Caliene Meredith]

Looking back at Sideswipe she grinned, "I was thinking the 'Kilo-Alpha-Zulu-720-07' Scenario** give them a taste of what we do as a team and how bad things can get against the 'Cons. I'll need ta grab mah Blades as well as mah baby from the Armory but it should be interesting to see how they react and then give them a chance ta see us work separately."

She grabbed her hair-tie from her wrist and tied her hair back in a ponytail low on her neck and cracked her hands and shoulders to relieve any pressure build ups there before they got to the Firing Range and the Armory next door.

(( ** this is the Mission City Scenario that they came up with for introducing Recruits to the stresses of fighting Decepticons. Mah own Idea actually.))

[Billy Morgan]

Billy just watched quietly, not sure he liked the sound of that string of letters and numbers. He was still not even comfortable being outdoors, how could he get comfortable around weapons? Granted he had come a long way with the help of Zoe, but alas, he still had his intense dislikes about being outside. He had once claimed in his younger years that there "too many variables" when being outside! And what if someone got hurt while wasting ammo? He hoped it wouldn't be him! "Ah heh, I may just observe, I don't get outside much like you three do...I don't want to slow you guys down." he said as he followed them with anticipation.
