Starscream expects this pile of lies to hold up long enough to get something of use out of Skyfire. "I've never stopped. Other things have become more.. pressing. Some things change, but some never do." Starscream just left it at that. "Anyway, we should get you fueled. Starscream's face turned sour for a moment. He was having... issues. Oh so many issues.

"Well, marooned on a mystery planet two galactic arms away means we'll need to do some serious exploring if we ever want to get home," Skyfire points out.
"Starscream? Is something wrong?" There's concern in Skyfire's voice; Starscream looks decidedly unhappy about something.

How'd word get out about Fleetwind's cowardice all ready?
Ah, well. It's not as though it were any big secret.
The Seeker powers up his anti-gravs in anticipation of lifting off.

Needlenose shrugs when he doesn't get an answer, and waits for Fleetwind to transform so he can hitch a ride back home the way he came in.
No shavings off his nose, really.

Eye-fire, seeing that everyone is about ready to push off, transforms into his rifle mode, and looks from Starscream to Fleetwind in anticipation of thier returning to base.
One unfortunate side effect of this is that he is now a weapon and pointing at the two of them.

Skyfire did not hear an answer to his question; instead, he saw a look of anger and something else flit across his face, and Starscream fled to the skies.
"Starscream??" That look, he'd seen it before, though Skyfire couldn't quite remember when. His intellect supplied the conclusion his memory couldn't quite reach; Starscream had received some very bad and urgent news.
Skyfire turned to the nearest person--the yellow-winged scout jet. "Ah, Fleetwind? Your base is in that town just over the hill, right? And... do you know what's going on? Are we under attack or some other disaster? I saw no one else on approach..." There's concern in Skyfire's voice; Starscream was upset about something, and it probably wasn't trivial.
--- Starscream posed in accordance with summary of his actions from player. Will edit later if necessary. If everyone's ready to move out, after answering Skyfire, assume he transforms and flies over to town and lands in the big clear space (the crater).

Well, really, none of them know what's going on. In the general, or the specific. Fleetwind shakes his head.
"No attack or anything, but I don't know why he suddenly flew off like that." The Seeker shrugs. "I tend to assume that if he wants something out of me, he'll ask. He's not exactly shy about that sort of thing."
With that, Fleetwind transforms into his tetrajet form and opens his cockpit. Once Eye-fire has entered inside and Needlenose has climbed on board, he'll begin his flight back. "But yeah, the base is just past the hill. If you need me to lead you back, I'll be in the air in a moment."

Needlenose sighs, wings, antennae, and shoulders drooping for a moment. As soon as Eye-fire climbs in the cockpit, Needlenose starts to clamber on top of the Seeker. When Skyfire makes his offer, however1, his antennae perk up. "Certainly! Thanks very much!" and climbs into the larger Transformer's hold.
1 See Skyfire's post.
OOC: As soon as everyone's in the air, we can dissolve this thread and folks can wander off to do other things, with the assumption that we all make it back to base. And as stated in Fleetwind's post, he'll be in the air just as soon as Eye-fire and I are on-board... that is, probably, in Eye-fire's next post.

When Fleetwind gets in the air, Eye-fire floats into his cockpit.
OOC: I think we can all push off now.

"Needlenose, that looks a bit awkward. You are welcome to fly in my hold."
At Needlenose's acceptance of his offer, Skyfire transforms to his Really Big White Shuttle mode, lowers his forward cargo ramp and waits for Needlenose to board. As soon as Needlenose does so, Skyfire lifts off using his jets and flies the short distance to town.
Needlenose, alas, won't have a chance to take in the passenger amenities1; this short hop is the equivalent of crossing the street for Skyfire.
1 Which, for future reference, still have Starscream's personal touches on them. Skyfire was his starship, quarters, office, and portable labspace during their partnership... --- OOC: Skyfire is out of this thread
