Tarantulas averts his eyes from Counterpunch as he takes another step back from Hellbender and Ravage, along a path that happens to also put him farther from Counterpunch and closer to Hook. No need to upset the car-former. There'll be time enough to settle any scores, real or imagined, later. For now, Tarantulas plays the part of the humble new recruit before his new commanding officer.
"Lead the way, Lord Hook. I'm interested to see what laboratory facilities you have here. I don't suppose there's anything in my size?"
The spider isn't crazy about the idea of 'scans.' He'd prefer his inner workings remain secret. But then, as the smallest guy in the room, in an unfamiliar ship, doesn't have much choice in the matter.

Counterpunch's optic band remains narrow and suspicious, but as Tarantulas backs down, he has no excuse to continue picking the fight.
Darn.
At Hook's words he shrugs. "Right. He's yours, then."
He continues to stay out of the middle of the cat versus the worm.

// Sure 'nuff. // Hellbender replies to Ravage. He slowly lifts his foot, releasing the pinned razor-cat. "Just watch the attitude, trooper, and control yourself. Seriously."
Hellbender eyes Counterpunch for a moment, trying to figure him out. Counterpunch is a smart Decepticon... today. The other day, he provoked Lugnut. Maybe that was one of his stupid days.
The big worm-former picks up a datapad and logs the new visitor. "Releasing new arrival Tarantulas to you, Lord Hook, and so logged." He doesn't sit back down yet, waiting to see if Ravage plans to start the fight up as soon as Hook leaves the room. Also, Hook hasn't left the room yet.

Ravage does not press the fight.
Not right now.
Instead Ravage slowly, warily slinks away from Hellbender, twisting his body so that he can watch the group as he does so. His movements eventually put his back to a wall, and while this means he is, in a way, cornered should someone attack him, it also means the direction in which they can attack is narrowed. A constant low growl comes from the hellcat, a deep warning sound.
His tail twitches and dips his head to nuzzle and lick at the broken link there. It hurts, but it will heal, and more quickly than his pride.

"There is. Scourge has a lab that he's not currently using." Hook half-turns to make room in the doorway and beckons Tarantulas.
Shall we?

Hook will follow Tarantulas out of thread.

"Excellent," replies Tarantulas, rubbing his hands together and making to follow Hook. "I'm eager to see what I have to work with." He turns to look over his shoulder at the other 'cons. "Until we meet again, then."

Counterpunch catches Hellbender eying him and glares. He looks like he's ready to jump out of his seat for a moment and pick a fight himself, but then grunts and settles back into his seat, instead just glaring out at the rocks.
Okay, so maybe not all that smart.

Hellbender watches Ravage slink off into the corner and growl at him. He's not quite sure that counts as 'in control', and Ravage still has an attitude, but it's a different attitude and he's not attacking anyone at the moment or being an insubordinate aft-glitch. Not that Hellbender is Ravage's superior, exactly, but he sure isn't Ravage's inferior, and the challenge was personal disrespect--something Hellbender had a low tolerance for.
Based on Ravage's parting words, this isn't over.
Another flick of the optics towards Counterpunch. It's hard to tell if the dark blue car-former is subtly challenging Hellbender, or just randomly psychotic and violent. After the incident with Lugnut, Hellbender is voting on the latter. At least the fellow is keeping control of himself for now.
Hellbender settles back at his workstation. It's going to be a long watch.
--- Fade out is fine by me.

Oh it isn't finished.
Ravage just has a few more things to consider.
After awhile, he curls up as if to nap, single optic still watching the worm.
Done, done!
