The Open Road (open)

July 28,2027 12:00 p.m.

Speed Demon drove through an open highway with nothing but nature on both sides of the road. She found she liked the new planet with all the organic organisms on it. Plus it was so colorful unlike Cybertron unless saw other Cybertronians with bright colorful paintjobs but even then they seemed dull because there was no sunlight on Cybertron.

She happily continued to drive down the road minding her own business and if she got of traffic maybe speed down the highway. She didn't even notice that she never hid her signal or if she did she didn't realize that she dropped the mask. Besides who would notice a blue and while concept Porsche Boxster.

[Chasm]

A purple and gold Shelby Cobra cruised down the highway at the speed limit, sticking to the right lane to let the speedier cars go by. One of those cars in particular caught his attention, due to the Cybertronian signal it was emitting. He picked up speed and followed, opening comms to hail it. =~"Hey, you're going a little too fast. You might hurt someone."~= He called out.

[speeddemon]

=~" Hey I can't help speed is my game as well my name. I'm Speed Demon and you are?"~= Speed Demon commed back while laughing. Still she slowed down a little happy to have found another Cybertronian. It had seemed to be forever since she saw one or rather got commed and they were in their alt modes at that. She tried to resist to flash her lights playfully to see if he wanted to race her.

[Chasm]

=~"It's Chasm, and you really need to be careful. Humans aren't sturdy like us."~= There was concern in Chasm's voice as he spoke over the comms. =~"Plus, there's rules that you've got to follow, and if you don't follow them, then you could get in trouble as well as people getting hurt..."~=

[speeddemon]

=~" Really they don't have much in the way in armor do they? So no racing I take it. But what side are you on. Been chased by Decepticons since I left with some other Autobots when we got the message."~= She told him now going five over the speed limit which seemed to be what everyone else was doing. Of course she had to bend the rules a little where was the fun following them to the letter? Besides if this mech was an Autobot she found a friend if he was a Con then she was in deep trouble.

[Chasm]

=~"They are organic, not made of metal like us."~= Chasm pointed out. =~"And I'm an Autobot."~= True to his word, there was an Autobot emblem on his hood, and his signal was Autobot in origin. =~"Have you been to the base yet?"~= He inquired. If she hadn't, then that was a bit up there on a list of priorities.

[speeddemon]

=~" No I haven't crashed landed here in New York near a Porsche dealership whatever that is."~= She answered still not sure on everything on Earth yet. But going to the Autobot base sounded like a good idea. Plus being out here as a rookie that was still training wasn't that great of an idea. Although Speed Demon was sure Chasm could fight but still just two Bots and depending on the Cons weren't good odds.

[Chasm]

=~"Then c'mon! I'll show you the way!"~= Chasm moved back over to the right lane, taking the next exit off the highway so that they could head south towards Washington D.C. =~"It's really cool. Optimus is there, and Ratchet, and Ironhide, and a bunch of others as well. We've even got rooms and stuff to live in."~=

[speeddemon]

=~" I've heard of the Prime but not the others who are they?"~= Speed Demon asked while following Chasm. But it would be great for her to go to an Autobot base for some much needed rest. She may act like she could keep going for days but she was exhausted from her constant travel. Besides there might be others her age to hang out with and if there were she wouldn't be left on her own as much. This was turning out to be an awesome day.

[Chasm]

Chasm was a bit surprised by her comment of not knowing who Ratchet and Ironhide were. =~"Ratchet's our Chief Medical Officer, watch out for his wrenches, and Ironhide's Optimus's close friend as well as one of our weapons specialist. He's also in charge of training, along with Sideswipe."~= His thoughts trailed off a bit. He was sure he should've gone to one of them for training ages ago, before the war even left Cybertron, but he'd just never had the Spark to. He was no fighter, he knew that, but he still wanted to help.

[speeddemon]

=~" Never learned who they were the Autobots I was with never told me. Growing up I was passed around other Autobot groups for my safety. I can't remember their names half the time. But maybe Ironhide can help me with my training I sure could use it."~= She told him not all that interested in fighting all of the time she rather have fun at all times. But this was a war and you can't have fun all the time no matter how much the adults needed to lighten up.

[Chasm]

=~"Well, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help. Sideswipe too, depending on what you want to get trained on. Ironhide's more long-range and stuff. Sideswipe's really good with blades."~= Again, there was that nag to go seek out training himself. He pushed it aside for now. He wasn't ready. He wasn't even sure if he would ever be ready...

[speeddemon]

=~" Then Ironhide will be training me because I was training to be a sharpshooter. The others thought my speed was suited for it or something. I don't really get it."~= Speed Demon admitted of course she didn't really pay attention when it was explained to her. She got bored and to excited to start training she only payed attention to the actual training and half payed attention to the lectures. But to her lectures were something that adults did at all times which meant boredom and tuning them out.

[Chasm]

=~"Well, speed would be good to move from position to position with shooting, I guess. I really don't know..."~= He let out a sigh. =~"I'm in communications, and fighting really isn't something I do. Kinda hard when you've got a pair of prime targets on your back..."~= That was true. Door wings tended to hurt a lot whenever they got hit.

[speeddemon]

=~" You have door wings too? I know how it feels to have those hit it hurts like slag."~= She said knowing how he felt even during training and if her door wings got hit she always went down which ended training for the day. While she would like to have them hidden during training she couldn't it was much harder to detect some one behind you. Door wings kinda acted like the optics on the back of your head.
