Funny how saying that small and organic things aren't a thread, and then calling someone small and organic, isn't exactly going to endear that person to you, isn't it?
"Kind of disappointing," Blackarachnia said, frankly. "I was hoping you were someone I could talk to about my Cybertron. Still, better than nothing I guess." She shrugged. "And nobody told me what that smell was." Maybe all antique Cybertronians gave off this odour, and it wasn't until the time of the Maximals and Predacons that enhanced olfactory senses were introduced that they decided to get rid of them.

Perhaps, being so small, this Predacon cannot see down the tunnel to the source of the stench, which Wreckage can still smell quite clearly, much to his distaste.
"That," is all he utters in answer and turns slightly in a token assist with his optics. Blackarachnia may see the corpse before Wreckage dims his optic fibers and moves to return to the main tunnel. He does not move further down the tunnel, however; rather, he makes his way back toward the corpse of the flier. He has had quite enough of this company.
Barring interference or distraction, he plans to pick up the corpse, drape it across the mass of armour plate on his upper back, and haul it outside.
OOC: Exeunt Wreckage.

Starfighter relaxes slightly as Wreckage leaves. That's one scary thing out of the way. Only Blackarachnia and the awful, awful darkness to contend with now. The darkness that seemed determined to jump out, grab him by the legs, and drag him down the moment he lost contact with Sky-byte.
Oh dear.
One slightly-shaking hand pointed at the organic. "The dead...thingie. You didn't do that?" Please let her say she did, that she just got hungry and angry or something. Did Predacons eat animals?

Well, small and organic is a bit different from small and quasi-organic and transforming. "Better than nothing, of course I'm better than nothing!" He puffs his chest out in pride before turning back.
Lost contact? But Sky-byte's still in front of him! Ah well, he's returning towards the shaky jet anyways, entirely unaware of the other's plight. "She only just arrived, she couldn't have" guffaws Sky-byte. Now that Wreckage is gone, he feels a semblance control of the situation. A semblance of control that he enjoys. Impatiently, he steps over the mangled corpse and begins walking deeper into the tunnels.
"Now if we can get back to our original plan?" Oh yes, enjoying it too much.

Near the entrance of the cave, a hovercraft comes in! It's Shortround, finally getting on with his earlier job. That, and he wanted to be as far away from the potentially explosive energon as possible.
Being one of those many Transformers with a lack of lights, Shortround instead follows whatever sounds he can hear and comes across the group, transforming. That's when he notices...
"Holy slag! You guys... Didn't do that, did you?" Shortround said, thankful for his mask hiding his look of disgust. Shortround doesn't mind organics, they have a tendency to make toys. He also doesn't want to see their insides splattered. He's also thankful for his mask at the time, blocking the oder somewhat. He also hasn't noticed Blackarachnia yet.

"I just <i>asked</i> what the smell was, so <i>obviously</i> I'm not the one that caused it!" Blackarachnia snapped at the frightened little seeker.
She sighed at Sky-Byte. Ugh, did everyone here demand such attention? The frightened one was too in need of reassurance to activate his own audio input units and the large Predacon appeared to have an ego as resilient as most over-inflated balloons. She'd just shot him a blank look.
It wasn't long before Shortround arrived. "It was like that when I got here." She said, matter-of-factly.

There was a plan? Starfighter assumed they were just wandering about making maps until something ate them.
"Right, right." He nodded slowly, bringing up his datapad and stylus again as he followed Sky-byte further into the unknown darkness.
OOC: If no one minds, perhaps we can fade to black and have this just be generic mine-exploring for a while.

Pausing in his steps, Sky-byte turns back to look exasperatedly in Shortround's direction. "Do you see mangled organic on us?" He would be quick to assure Blackarachnia that his ego is much more resilient than silly little balloons (as fascinating as the objects are). He's eager to get this little job over with. As fascinating as the mines had seemed before, they're beginning to grate a bit...literally. The faster they get through with mapping some of the tunnels, the sooner he can get out to open air (if he's lucky, some open water).
"Now let's get going," he sniffs, transforming back into beast mode with a quick 'Sky-byte terrorize!' and a glance back at the other Predacon. See? Blackarachnia isn't the only one who can do that.
He forges on ahead, not waiting to see if anyone else other than Starfighter follows. A little mining ditty humming under his breath as he slips into the darkness.

Shortround turns and sees BlackArachnia. The first, and most obvious thing, is her height. The second is that she's a femme without a boat mode. Maybe next time...
"Are you a minicon? Half these guys don't know what minicons are" Shortround says with a shrug, walking after Skybyte if BlackArachnia does so as well. Either way, he transforms shortly afterwards and hovers along
Also ready to go interim unless hilarious minicon related scene is wanted

Blackarachnia stared at Shortround. "Minnow-con? What are you talking about? I'm a Predacon. I said as much before!"
And yes, Blackarachnia says as much to transform, but she says it to change to robot form, not the other way around. Perhaps Sky-Byte's transforming cog was installed backwards. Blackarachnia doubted that was the only thing about him that was backwards.
OOC: Free to go into interim mode anytime!
