OOC: Takes place on Day 5.
An all-too familiar scene - a cage of rocks, seemingly void of life, suddenly gains itself an occupant.
Familiar to us, but not to the lanky black and green mech within. He glances from side to side, confused. Less rocks than where he was, but more metal. Did the team transwarp to Cybertron, and he blacked out for some reason?
Curiously, he moves around a rock, and would blanch, if his face wasn't white already, seeing the figure on the other side of the bars.
No. Not him. Anyone but him...
"...Lugnut. What is the meaning of this?"

Lugnut had gladly accepted rock watching duty when it was given to him; after all, what if his Megatron showed up? It was unlikely, yes, but there is still a chance that it will happen, and Lugnut will be there to greet his master when he arrives!
However, his enthusiasm is crushed the moment he sees him. "Oilslick." Lugnut approaches the bars with cautious steps, glaring at the green mech that was trapped behind the bars (thank Megatron). "Of everyone in Team Charr to arrive, it just had to be you." Why couldn't it have been his belo-consort Strika? That just makes Lugnut sad.
...Wait a nano-cycle. Team Charr is one of the teams that was told to assault the space bridges as soon as Megatron gave the word! Maybe, just maybe..."Give me your latest timestamp, and tell me what is the last thing that you remember! Comply, and I shall tell you what's going on."

"My timestamp? It's <timestamp> - myself and the others just finished mopping the floor with a pitiful pile of Autobots, and taken control of a back-water space bridge. We were waiting for orders to transwarp to Cybertron - Shockwave said that Megatron had not shown up yet." The cycle-bot steps forward, slowly, staying just out of reach of the violet (and violent) bomber. He remembers all too well what happened last time.
He does smirk slightly. "It would appear that I was mistaken so long ago, though. I do hope you won't hold it against me, Lugnut."

Well, that answer certainly didn't please Lugnut. "And that is all you know? Curses! The Autobots must be slowing down the glorious Megatron!" The zealot turned around slightly, tapping a clamp against his chin as he thinks, until Oil Slick speaks up again.
Ah, Lugnut too remembers that day. It's a good thing that Oil Slick admits that he is wrong; otherwise the zealot would have freed him just to beat him up some more! "Of COURSE you were wrong, you infidel! Megatron is immortal! Not even the Allspark could end the great One's eternal glory! But because you admitted your foolishness, I shall forgive you. Whether Megatron will however..."
Oh right, his end of the deal. "Regardless...We have been yanked from our own dimension by some unknown force, along with other Transformers from various other worlds, including those wretched Autobots! We faced them on this strange world, but now we have build a ship and are looking for this universe's Cybertron."

Oil Slick clenches his jaw at Lugnut's response. He is no infidel, he was simply being realistic. Lugnut should have been throttling Starscream, not Oil Slick. Either way, he keeps quiet, as for the moment, he is at Lugnut's mercy. Unless he uses acid on the bars, but not just yet...
"What? Did you set off your little toy one too many times and it finally rattled your logic circuits?" The chemist crosses his arms, scowling. "I can accept a transwarp error, but pulling us into other dimensions? That's ridiculous..." he says, idly trying to radio Strika.
And getting no response.

Starscream unknowingly steered their ship into a star and presumed dead. Oil Slick was just an easy target.
"Do you dare call me delusional!?" Once again Lugnut growls in anger, though he feels some satisfaction at Oil Slick trailing off. Hopefully this means that he will shut up again soon. "No matter, you realize how foolish you truely are soon." Now, who to call over the radio...

Oil Slick frowns. "...I suppose your argument would explain why I cannot seem to contact Strika," he says. A sigh, and he resigns a bit. "I suppose it's something like a transwarp glitch, if you think about it. Who else is here from our universe? And who is in command?" Lugnut's line earlier about Megatron's forgiveness suggests that Megatron may be here.

A transwarp glitch? Since when do transwarps trap people in different times and worlds? Madness! "It is just you and I....For now. New arrivals come regurarily. As for the commanders: a pleasantly different Shockwave and..." Insert brief shiver of disgust here. "...Another Starscream."

Well, it is an unstable technology! It's going to send Megatron all around the universe in their future, after all.
"Shockwave, but not ours? Curious..." He frowns at what Lugnut says next, though. "That vile little mongrel is in command here? I would hope he's at least more capable than the one we know."

Finally, something they have in common! "Barely. He is a traitorous little mongrel, though he can at least lead. That is more then I can say of our Starscream!" Lugnut snorts as he walks over to the controls of the bars, tapping the 'release' button before turning back to Oil Slick. The chemist better not try something though; lest he suffers the zealot's wrath! "Be careful, however. Some of these fools are loyal to the mongrel; they will not appreciate any deserved critism about him!"

Oil Slick is smarter than to attempt something on Lugnut, he learned his lesson last time.
Striding fluidly out of the rock-holding area, Oil Slick nods in Lugnut's direction, though he cannot see. "Of course. However, I can deal with them if I draw their ire," he says, chuckling in a devious tone, tenting his fingers a bit.

"Of course you can!" Lugnut totally has faith in Oil Slick, can you tell? Especially with some of the more nasty Cons onboard. "Welcome to Ship, Oil Slick. And no, these pathetic fools have no naming sense!" The zealot rolls his eyes, though it might be a bit hard to see with his all red round optics.
But then he leans in closer to the chemist, just a little bit mind you, and with the most casual of voices he asks; "Did Strika at least complete her mission?"

Oil Slick narrows his optics at Lugnut's response. Tread carefully, thug, lest Oil Slick lose his patience and reduce you to a rusting hull.
His expression turns to a bit of confusion at the name, shoulders slumping. "...even the Autobots can name a ship properly," he says, shaking his head.
Then Lugnut asks about his consort, and Oil Slick smirks. "Of course we did. That fool Rodimus Prime fell to a dose of Cosmic Rust, and the others fell before he did. We secured the spacebridge successfully."

Yes, because that worked SO well last time. Fragging rustbucket.
"At least they know decent construction! This vessel is no match for the Nemesis, but it will most definately do." Lugnut smirks as best as he can, though the smirk is replaced by a proud smile once the chemist tells him about the result of their mission. "Of course! The genius of Strika is almost a match for that of Megatron! Perhaps you could do the same with the Rodimus of this reality, for he leads the Autobots, along with some weak snivelling fool called Xaaron."

Well, Oil Slick has learned from his failure. He won't screw up a second time, no.
A sly smile crosses the chemist's face, and he taps a finger against his dome, pondering. "A chance to bring Rodimus down again, mm? I would not turn that down, no. However... how do things work here? Do I need to report to a higher officer, or am I free to wander this vessel as I see fit?"
