Mistwind straightens and smiles as his familiar black and purple seeker 'non-official link-partner' steps in along with the rest, returning him with a confident nod. "Space combat!"

"Space combat?" Duskwing frowns. "Never did that much. Gotta beat goin' into tunnels though. Least you can fly."

I must apologise, my home internet has started hating forums, this one in particular, and any Instant Messenger for some reason. I do though now have access to varsity computers. ______________________________________
The seeker in question is just generic gun metal grey, those here can perhaps infer that Blitzwing had something to do with such a seeker he wanted to punt out an airlock. Or it could be that he doesn't like seekers in general. Do you really want to know?
"It’s an art style I picked up from Earth, Japan in particular." He says, before Dead End and Wildrider start fighting. He'll ignore it until they start disrupting others.
"To get more to the point, here’s how this will work. We, as in all of us, have been given a mission to disable various systems on an Autobot Cruiser that we have intercepted. We will have to get from our ship to the cruiser, find or make a way into the ship while not being picked off by their gun turrets and whatever fliers they have and proceed to do some demolition." Blitzwing continues, tapping on the projector screen which now shows slides of chibi Decepticons dog fighting, kicking down a door and laughing manically as they blow something up.
"Anyone that can fly under their own power shall do so, and since we only have two that can't I can carry them to the ship. For the duration of this training exercise, I'm sure Starscream wouldn't mind being downgraded from Supreme leader of the Decepticons to merely Commander of this Commando Squad." He says, pausing to hear Starscreams response.
"Oh yes, you die, you get kicked out and we laugh at you. You also won't get one of the nifty gold star stickers I had printed out. You wouldn't want to not have a golden star Sticker, would you?" Blitzwing says, sounding (relatively) happy and chirpy, but still managing to turn it into a threat.
"Now, any other Questions before your miserable armour plates taste Autobot laser fire?" ____________________
OOC: Ok, here's how things will work. I'll introduce or control any NPC elements into the thread, and post for them during my turn. I will also post any area descriptions and such.
Any non IC questions can of course be asked. Sorry for the delay. Again.

It's all good, bro. Welcome back.
It seems as if Wildrider will never get to learn why Blitzwing has a big head in his drawings. His attention is otherwise occupied.
"Whoulph!" Wildrider yelps as he's struck in the gut. Or his robo-gut or cyber-gut or something. It's an important part on any robot. Shut up.
"Cuttitout!" He bends over, turning this into a headlock as his left arm tries to wrap itself around Dead End's head. He's not going to hurt him any more--not that any of this damage is permanent, gotta love force fields--the pain of embarrassment should be enough.

Starscream nods in acceptance to Blitzwing's request. Squadron commander, before scowling at the two battling Stunticons.
Well, he's no Motormaster. But he still has the necessary skills to handle squabbling idiots. "I accept the demotion, for this training, Blitzwing. And, as Squadron Commander..."
One arm is placed on the shoulder of Wildrider, lifting him up from his brother. He moves to do the same thing with Dead End, hopefully lifting them both up.
"...I believe I have found our front line."
Player permission given for the handling of Wildrider, oddly enough.

Stickers?
Skystrike wants stickers.
If the jet suddenly appears a bit more attentive, it's not entirely because Starscream just broke up the current entertainment.

Dead End finds himself suddenly manhandled by Starscream, along with Wildrider.
"Er, yes, sir," Dead End mumbles, and radios Wildrider. // Never would I have expected him to stand in for Motormaster! //
"So we get to be the sacrificial anodes sent in to draw out the Autobots, no doubt dying miserably while the rest of you flank and destroy? Delightful."

"A-assault?" Optics widen and Mistwind ever so slightly scrambles back. At the mention of any questions, oh, he has good ones! Up goes a pointless hand. "Yes! Is this live fire, Blitzwing Sir? And and, oh! Is there a 'you got to be this armored to do this test' rule?"
Because.... that would be nice to know.... y'know? Because getting laughed at for leaving before the fight is soooo much better than getting laughed at after only cycles within the fight.

Duskwing glares at Mistwind. "Don't be an idiot. Iss in the sim'lator, kid. An' you're goin' wit' me, like we did when we went after dat micro-dinobot."
After a moment, Duskwing explains, because slower people might not automatically follow his reasoning. "The extra speed'll throw their fir... whatstheslagginword?--gunnery off, and I shoot 'em up better 'n you."
"'Sides, you're a Decepticon. 'Course youse is gonna fight!"

Blitzwing is pleased to see that Starscream isn't going to let this exercise devolve into one huge brawl as everyone tries to accomplish things on their own. Not that he's saying its impossible, Blitzwing is a commando after all, but you do not run around an Autobot warship on your own and not expect to be thrown out the airlock in a bucket. Or perhaps just swept out of it, depending on exactly what you run into.
"As Duskwing said Mistwind, your a Decepticon, and are guaranteed to end up in a fight of one kind or another. I'm sure we'd all rather have you learn to fight than have you hide if the Autobots come knocking."
"Now." Blitzwing says, turning at pointing at a door way that wasn't there a few moments ago. "If you exit through that door, you'll find yourself an in the launch bay which we are to launch from, as well a full technical read out for Starscream to study in the few minutes we'll before the attack commences. If anyone was silly enough not to bring their weapons, there is also a small, bassicily stocked armory." He continues, and then starts walking to the door, pausing beside it to allow others to go in first.
"As an aside, anyone who gets vapped before we reach the Autobot ship will be laughed at. And perhaps have a dunces cap welded to them for a while, we'll have to see.

Wildrider actually manages to get Dead End in a headlock before he's dragged lifted upwards.
"HEY! LEMME DOWN!!" Wildrider yells as he flails uncomfortably. "What? decoy patrol? I didn't sign up for that!!"
To Dead End, he radios, //Yeah, what's up with that? At least he hasn't bashed our heads together yet!//
OOC: Confirmed Wildrider got Dead End in a head lock by his player.

And then Starscream bashes their heads together. No wait, that doesn't happen.
Starscream places the two of them down. "We have several agile jets. This is a flight-based mission. The two least competent fliers also happen to have forcefields. You're perfectly situated to draw enemy fire from automated turrets, allowing the rest of us to achieve victory.
"And don't forget, Dead End, that this is simulated combat? A miserable death is not on the cards for now." Cue the speculation of the simulated weaponry accidentally being set to live ammo. "Although were this a real scenario, I would ensure memorials were prominently erected for your noble and heroic efforts."

So the little jet was stuck with Duskwing and the Stunticons were stuck with each other and everyone else was, well, stuck everyone else. Could've been a worse crowd, really.
Skystrike shrugs and walks past Blitzwing through the door.

"I knew that," Dead End replies as he's set down. "We'll just simulate dying miserably. But at least we'll have their attention. Until they find a way to disintegrate us."
Then, unexpectedly, he chuckles. Something about memorials is very amusing to the Stunticon. "Just so long as I don't have Octane falling on mine."
// I suppose Screamer is feeling all leader-ish these days, // Dead End replies to Wildrider.
// We can't dodge in space the way these fliers can, so let's make sure the enemy can't shoot. My air concussion cannon is of course useless in space, so I'll have to use my backup laser--but your scatter-blaster works just fine, doesn't it? //
So saying, he heads through the door into the training scenario, thinking that Blitzwing has been playing far too much TIE Fighter.

"I'll do my best, Sir" A true promise, as he follows Dead End and Skystrike.
