"Well, that's the plan!" Kup answers Jetfire, giving Skyblast a brief but exasperated look at the fashion commentary. He's quickly distracted from saying anything else, though, when Springer and Prowl draw his attention to a new approval.
"Eh? What's that?" he asks, peering around but not moving any closer. That thing's so small, too many big guys crowding near are more likely to just get in each other's way. "Is that a toy car?"
It says something about this place that Wheelie isn't even the first toy car to arrive among the Autobots.

Homefree, baby!
...Oh, wait, shuriken in his path.
WHAM.
The RC monster truck slams right into the weapon, immediately coming to a standstill. The little sneak is not down though, transforming and quickly rushing to stand behind the weapon, one cracked optic peeking over the edge. And he doesn't like that he's suddenly being watched by three metal giants! "What're you all lookin' at, blockheads!? Never seen a salvage drone before!?"
Then he sees Springer coming closer, something that he does not like at all. "WHOA! Easy, Mister Neon-Green!"
The big one is getting closer.
"Stay back!"
Ground is starting to tremble from the footsteps.
"I'm warning you!"
Well hello there, ventilation hatch nearby. Time for plan B.
"You'll never take me alive!" Quick transformation and zoooom he goes, trying to get far away from these crazy giants and to that comfy looking hatch.

Skyblast shoots a defiant look back at Kup. How hot Rodimus Prime looks is important information for any Decepticon defector! Come for the relaxed working atmosphere; stay for the eye-candy.
Wait, toy car, what?
His head whiplashes over in the direction of Wheelie. He bounds after Wheelie, and if Wheelie makes it into the hatch, Skyblast will follow right after him. It won't be a comfortable fit for Skyblast, but he's short enough that he should be able to squeeze inside.

"Toy car?" Jetfire asks, suddenly staring down toward his feet. He even lifts one splayed foot to better clear his view. Unfortunately, he tries to turn around to see full circle. At the same time.
Needless to say, it doesn't quite work very gracefully, spilling Jetfire to the floor, but thankfully out of Skyblast and Prowl's way.
"Toy car!" he repeats, suddenly catching sight of Wheelie and recognizing the tiny mech from just before he opened that space bridge. "Wait... If you're here... BOLLOCKS! Lad! Sam, lad! are you here?" he exclaims, struggling back upright to start pawing through the rocks. What if the fleshling made it and he was under where Jetfire had fallen before??

"Looks like it, Kup," Springer answers, doing a small hop to go over the little car, and get in front of it. Springer now blocks the way, crouched down low to keep the small 'bot from escaping between his legs. "Well, if you're just a scrap drone, then you've got no need to run off. Just calm down, alright?"

Prowl could jump in front of the small toy car but he wants to make sure he doesn't escape but he doesn't want to be too far from the actual entrance. So he does the next best thing and projects a hologram of himself jumping in front of the air hatch while ducking down behind the console to help further the illusion that he really did move.
He does, however, peek his head out just a bit to watch and see how it reacts.

Kup remains at the terminal and, as the others try to keep the little truck from getting into the ventwork, he casually reaches forward and presses a switch to trap him if he does. The ship was designed to be compartmentalized if needed to allow for void-flushes should anything unwanted make its way on, or make its way out of the biodome. It's easy enough to trigger the seals without triggering the void-flush.
In short, right now if something gets into the vent work, or even into the hallway, they won't get very far before hitting a dead-end, but that means that now everyone in this section of the trip is trapped here.
Kup gives no obvious indication that this is what he did, and instead just looks up to watch the others.

Well, that is hardly fair. Just the big green guy is already enough to stop the little stow away, but the others going after him as well? Yeah, panic attack time.
He transforms and runs from one pair of legs to the other, screeching in panic as he tries to find a way out, but it's no use; they could easily stop him by merely stepping on him! "ListenI'msorryforsayingthatandtryingtoescapePLEASEDON'TSTEPONME!"
He throws himself to Springer's feet and starts polishing it with his hand, looking up at the Wrecker with a big grin on his face. "I'm good, I ain't hurtin' no-one! I'm a good boy! I even switched sides to your noble camp! Just ask the old fart-...errr, wise elder over there!" Remember kids, when you're faced with impossible odds: Kiss some aft!

Skyblast has a vague idea of who 'Sam' is, but he is a bit too concerned with the little blue dude to worry about whether or not Sam is here. Besides, no humans have ever showed up, right?
As Wheelie throws himself on Springer's mercy, Skyblast takes up a post guarding the air duct and crossing his arms, trying to look suitably stern and aloof.

Jetfire has to concede rather quickly that no, Sam is, indeed, not among the rocks. He isn't certain whether he is relieved about that or not, but there isn't much more he can do about the situation beyond simply accept it. He finally turns and stares down at Wheelie, holding his position so that he doesn't inadvertantly step on or tumble into anyone.
"The leg, again?" Jetfire rumbles, shaking his head. "He did. Just before I opened the space bridge. Pledged himself to the fleshling female, the, uh... Warrior Goddess, he called her. Funny name for a fleshling, but who am I to judge, eh?"

Springer cocks an odd look at the little scrap-drone, and shuffles his leg a bit, pushing Wheelie back. "Okay, I got the apology. It's fine."
He looks up at Kup, raising his eyebrow ridges a bit. "Looks like we have a second defector..." he says, holding a hand down, offering it to Wheelie. "Climb on up. We're not gonna hurt you, just gotta do the whole security check stuff, y'know."
---------- OOC: Pushing Wheelie done with player permission.

Ah, not much of a threat. Prowl was being cautious. As he glances up at Kup he slides back out and shuts off his hologram display.
Prowl walks over and then retrieves his shuriken, sliding the blades shut and looking it over as if something interesting happened to it.
"From what I can see, this universe has all types. I'm not surprised there are those that switch sides, now that I think it over..." he muses out loud, before looking towards the door. Crowded and loud. Perhaps he can soon make an exit...

"Well, it depends on the circumstance," Kup answers Prowl as he settles back into his seat, now that the 'crisis' is passed. "Typically, a person who spends too much time switching sides doesn't last very long!"
"But yeah, security interview and such." He looks between Jetfire and Wheelie, then adds, "though I think you two are going to need a bit more in-depth than most," he adds.
OOC: Don't really want to RP out the full out interview, but 'off screen' Kup'll be holding Jetfire and probably Wheelie for a bit longer than standard, anyway.

"Hey! What's the friggin' deal? I was just being nice!" Wheelie looks at Springer in annoyance, but then blinks as he looks around. They were leaving him alone? Really? Not even making fun of him? "Huh, that's a new one..." He climbs back to his feet (something that's harder then it should be because of those damned wheels), laughing nervously at what Kup says about traitors and then nodding about the interview stuff. "Yeah, sure, whatever ya say, yer the boss."

OOC: Skipping Jetfire and Skyblast due to time-out. --- Springer stoops down, picking up Wheelie, and carries him carefully over to where Kup is. Once he's there, Springer places Wheelie on the desk so that he has a better view of the room and so everyone else can see him better.
And if he tries to run, he'll hopefully have a little trouble once he falls.
"Well, if you guys have everything under control here, I'm gonna go give our twins a bit of a talk on frequency security..." Springer waves a bit, and heads for the door. --- OOC: Picking up and carrying of Wheelie done with player permission. Springer's out of thread unless stopped.
