With an extremely irritated hiss, Omega Supreme's door slides open to allow Kup and Slingshot to exit. Unfortunately, this may allow the crazy Junkion to zip back inside of him.
OOC: I'm not really in this thread, but this action effects those in this thread.

Synapse and Holi are actually being useful and trying to get the body in where it can be used by the medics. Thus, it falls upon Skyblast, he supposes, to deal with the dame. Following the others to the door, he explains, "They just want the parts out of that mess to help patch up Jazz and Bumblebee. And the others, I guess. I'm Skyblast, by the way. We can find you some other junk to mess around with."

Hardwire was unaware of the dragging of the dead seeker. He had more important things to worry about, like getting his radio fixed. Alas, he did not hear the call to report in repairs...because it's busted. That, and he doesn't have the Autobot frequency. Yet. Either way, it's a moment before he realizes that he's alone, and glances around, following the strange grey Autojet and the stranger orange femme.

Arcee walks slowly down the ramp, being careful because of her leg injuries. She need to get out and think. Everything Kup had told Slingshot, she'd heard that too. She still had a few questions, but those could wait.
A Transformer that devoured planets, Megatron being reborn, it was all madness. Even madness tempered by the notion that they would, indeed, reclaim their homeworld from the mitts of those down and dirty Decepticons.

Synapse suddenly halving the burden is an unexpected but welcome thing and Holi would thank him were it not for the upset Screwdriver. He was just trying to help! What did he do wrong?
…Oh. Kup had said Junkions were territorial.
"I'm sorry, Screwdriver," says the Micromaster with complete sincerity. "I just… thought I'd help…." Then she lends a hand anyway. "Thank you," he says instead of continuing to apologise, and he looks at Synapse to extend his gratitude to the scout as well. Hardwire seems to be deep in thought about something, so it's around him and up to the ramp… to stare at the door that isn't quite open enough to admit the body.
Holi's about to ask if Omega Supreme would be kind enough to open up when the door opens anyway. Well… that works, too.
"Thank you, Omega," he starts to say, only to stop and stare as Arcee passes. He can't help being reminded again of Clipper, just by the pink and white paint, and he has to stifle a sigh as he continues indoors with the mangled body (and we'll assume his fellow collection detail). He can't help wondering what Clipper could be up to right now. What did she do when he didn't show up for their drive? Was she as worried about him as he was her?

It takes all of Synapse's self control and seeing that of Holi's (or rather, because Holi isn't as skittish as Synapse is to begin with) not to shy away at Screwdriver's unhappy proclamation. Even more so when the Junkion moves in to help them with the body. It wouldn't be polite or acceptable to just let up and leave Holi with this strange individual, as much as he'd honestly like to. His anxiety is quelled slightly at the micromaster's thanks.
He follows Holi's lead with the body into Omega Supreme. A nervous glance is spared in Perceptor's direction before Synapse hesitantly leaves the group for a moment to pull down one more medical bed to set this new body. He returns quickly to his old position at the dead mech's arm. "Ah...I-If we set him here, it would perhaps provide easier access?" The fact that he isn't used to offering any sort of suggestion outside of topographical locations is probably quite obvious as he can't properly make eye-contact with Holi or Screwdriver.
OOC: As soon as the body is set up, I suppose Synapse will head over to the Zoo Return thread to get patched by Perceptor.

Screwdriver was too wrapped up in the closed hatch to pay much attention to Holi's apology, and when the hatch is opened, she becomes even more interested. She immediately drops her end of the body, claps happily, and declares, "Open seasame!" She then jumps on top of the body, her "high-heeled" feet landing nimbly on its chest, (this may cause the others to drop it) and uses it as a springboard to attemp to leap back inside the rocket, shouting, "Says little Robin Redbreast: Catch me if you can!1'"

Slingshot makes sure he goes through the door ahead of the green guy. Some protector he'd be, if he let his... not-prisoner go out into an unknown situation first.
So Slingshot gets a Junkion leaping at him. His reaction is pure instinct - he throws himself forward to meet her. One arm snaps out to catch her around her waist. Their momentums fight for a moment, and she almost forces him backwards with her weight. So he cheats. Just a touch of thrust to keep going forward-
Now to see who it is he's actually caught. Oh, look, it's the crazy girl. The one the purple guy wanted kept out, thanks."No going in there, princess."

Long Haul steps out of Omega Supreme's open hatch just in time to spot the debacle between Screwdriver and Slingshot. Hnh. He's so distracted by it he almost fails to notice the body at his feet until he trips over it. Almost. Lovely. While he may, perhaps, be more willing to use dead Transformers for spare parts than a lot of Autobots from his reality (especially given his time period), still, he can't actually suppress a shudder as he sees the condition of the body. That's gotta be a damned rotten way to go. The transporter steps carefully out of everyone's way, and then, realizing that it's taking both Synapse and Holi to carry it, asks, "Erm, you guys need any help getting that thing back in there?" OOC: In the next round, I'll be posting next to Screwdriver. Slingshot and Screwdriver just wanted to pull that little stunt.

Skyblast lets out a low whistle over Slingshot's swift reaction to the leaping Junkion. He actually claps for a few seconds and comments, "Nice! Fabulous reflexes, there." He tenses, getting ready just in case Slingshot will need any help wrassling the strange robot.
If Skyblast knew better, he would marvel over how Long Haul is actually offering to help carry something that he doesn't have to. Alas, Skyblast doesn't, and the moment goes unremarked.

Cannonball pondered lending assistance, but it seemed the little 'bot and the shuttle-bot seemed to have it covered - that, and the bright green fellow was offering his assistance now, anyway.

Huh. Why had the little Autobot stared at her like that? Normally, she might have challenged him on it, but honestly... today, right now, she just didn't feel like fighting.
Aggression was a stronger part of her personality than she'd like to admit; sometimes it seemed like she was always looking for a fight. Especially where Hot Rod and Springer were concerned. It certainly gave her an edge in fighting--hardly anyone expected one with her looks and build to have that much fight in her--but sometimes, well, her mouth got her in trouble on occasion.

Holi shoulders up the weight of the body as he climbs to his feet again and shifts it back so he can peer out from beneath the arm. He's thrilled Long Haul offered to help, really he is… but it looks as though the Constructibot was getting ready to go do something else.
"Um… if you're busy, Long Haul, sir," he says almost too merrily, "don't worry about us. We can manage, right, Synapse?" Really, Screwdriver jumping on it didn't help; Holi had barely kept his grip and even then he'd buckled. What would Greatshot say if he saw that?
The idea was mortifying. So onward Holi forges, with or without the aid of Synapse – though certainly much more slowly without – determined to get the parts to Perceptor. It isn't every day that a stunt like that of Screwdriver and Slingshot doesn't completely steal the Micromaster's attention. If anyone here knew Holi better, they might be amazed.
OOC: So who's for the body actually getting indoors at this point?

OOC: Cross-posted to 'Post Battle: Return to Zoo'
"Ah, yes, we should be fine," says Synapse with small bob and a polite smile. Well, would have fine. Screwdriver's sudden leap onto the body elicits a gasp and a flinch on his end as he nearly releases his hold on its arm. Synapse dogs on though after Holi, slightly shaken. He's not used to all this excitement still to say the least. Whatever happened to quiet days in a monitoring station or sorting through lab results?
The fact that his previous query went unanswered is not brought up. Instead he continues onward, the inside of Omega Supreme greeting his uneven sight once more.
Oh my, Perceptor looks slightly preoccupied with mending Kup's leg. The question of where to place the body dies before it even reaches his vocalizer, leaving him working his jaw wordlessly instead. Focus, Synapse, focus! "Ah, where would you like the...parts?"
OOC: Indoors ho!

Screwdriver's optics open wide and even her little jaw drops as she finds herself not inside the Giant's arms, as she had expected, but inside one of the Knight's arms instead. At least this one has the good sense to recognize her as a princess!
She squirms, not so as to get out of his arms, but so that she's facing in the same direction that he is, and then gently puts one arm on his shoulder for balance. Then she looks down at the world from her new, higher perspective and declares to the world, "When she was twelve years old the Witch shut her up in a tower."1
Then she tries to get down. Primarily by attempting to squirm and wriggle her way out of Slingshot's grasp.
