Starscream obligingly moves aside to allow the Autobot leaders more room to maneuver, and also doesn't immediately try to kill them. "I'll be better once I'm off this horrific planet. If I never feel Earth air under my wings again it'll be too soon," he gripes, casting a venomous look at the well.
"Is the Matrix intact, Prime?" he asks, taking a cautious step toward Rodimus, head inclined forward slightly as if to get a glimpse through the Autobot's chest plate.

It's really, really crowded; Hellbender is here, too. "Slag all this. Ah can't wait to get off this obnoxious dirtball," he growls.
Ruby optics watch Starscream carefully; will the current leader of the Decepticons restart the fight that ended in the whole human transformation in the first place? If he's inclined to, Hellbender will happily tear his head off his shoulders--he doesn't have a whole lot of patience for leadership fun and games after this whole debacle.

"Fantastic," Emirate Xaaron says, hauling his creaky body up. He looks at his hands absently. Shortish fingers, all metal.
"Perfect."
He doesn't ask about Prime and the Matrix. If it wasn't intact, Unicron would be out, and they'd all be dead. No, Emirate Xaaron gets on with getting out of here. His body twinges. He'd really, really like to transform... but it will hurt so much!
He had better not.

Rodimus eyes Starscream warily. "Funnily enough, I don't make reports to you any more than you take orders from me," he smirks.
He glances around the room, optics narrowed at the group of them all smashed into a very small space. "I suggest we get out of here," he says to Xaaron, "before there's time for something else to go wrong."
Of course, now there's the question of who wants to turn their backs on who in order to leave.

Starscream bristles, facial plates contorting into a scowl. "Funnily enough," he echoes mockingly, "out of the two of us, only one is carrying a relic critical to the survival of our race in his chest cavity. I wanted to make sure our species still had a future here, Prime, I didn't ask you to give me the blasted thing." He snarls, attempting to shoulder his way out and turning his attention to the hulking triple-changer.
//Hellbender, get ours into line. We're leaving. Anyone lays a finger on an Autobot without my say-so and Bonecrusher and Slugslinger are their new roommates,// he transmits.
"As soon as we're all in orbit, I'm considering this truce over. Don't dishonor us all by getting killed by aliens before I get the chance," he says over this shoulder to the Autobot high command, with perhaps the barest hint of a smile.

// Yes, sir! // Starscream gets a quick but correct salute from Hellbender--until Shockwave surfaces, Starscream is his commanding officer and Hellbender is damn relieved that Starscream isn't "revisiting" the issue between them that started the original fight. Perhaps he will back on the Ship, but that will be then; this is now. Now he wants to get off this accursed planet that tried to obliterate him in one of the most unpleasant ways possible... and in the process, showed Hellbender some truths about himself he really didn't want to think about just now.
// Vortex, he means you, let's go! // Hellbender steps sideways, placing himself between Vortex and that annoying orange git (Whirligig) and advanced towards their exit, wing shrouds slightly extended--just enough to fill the corridor beside him. Hopefully Vortex would take the hint and move out before he (she?) got pushed along or knocked over anyway.

As far as Xaaron is concerned, the truce is already over. If he sees a good shot for one of his Autobots to take...
He turns to Rodimus, looks at one of the walls, and suggests, "Make a hole."

"Right," Rodimus says, transforming. He points himself opposite the door and revs his engine. Seriously, he says, "This place never should have been built in the first place."
He surges forward, crashing through the wall at the best speed he can manage in such a small area. Luckily, the place isn't in that great a shape!
Once he's through the hole he stops and asks, "You guys need a lift the rest of the way out?"

OOC: Skippable!
“Wha-” Vortex was just regaining his bearings after the sudden conversion and now he has Hellbender yelling at him. And coming towards him with the wing shrouds extended. He hadn’t even been thinking about going after Whirligig! He didn’t even see what that stupid orange twit had turned into!
Snarling a curse at Hellbender, he starts up his lifters and lets himself be herded out for the time being.

Starscream nods to himself as his loyal and competent NCO bullies the rank and file into doing what, he, Starscream, wants them to do. All is as it should be. Of course, good things never last and he has to stop himself from flinching as the noise of Rodimus driving through a wall echoes around the corridor.
He half-expects to see a wall of water coming at him over his shoulder. That would be inconvenient. "Accursed Autobots," he mutters.

Hellbender knows from personal experience that Whirligig is exceedingly annoying, and it would take an unusually placid or focused Decepticon not to want to take a swing at the little twerp once he gets going. Vortex is not known for either. Q.E.D.
If Hellbender knew of Starscream's approving attitude at the moment, he'd feel all warm and fuzzy inside--or at least pleased at his superior recognizing that Hellbender was doing his job.
// Moving out now, sir. Recommendation: don't trust these Autobots as far as you can throw 'em, sir. The Emirate's always been a tricky slagger--I wouldn't put it past him to ambush us before we make orbit. // Hellbender had already briefed Shockwave (both privately and via Mayhem interviews) on the Autobots of his Cybertron some time ago, but he did not know what intel had been passed to this Starscream yet.

Emirate Xaaron rides. It would be dumb not to. So he moves quickly to take Rodimus up on his offer.
The game has changed again, and the Autobots will need to think and work fast to take advantage of it.
OOC: Done?

Rodimus guns it, rolling through the crumbling complex as quickly as he can. Damn, but it's good to be a robot again!
OOC: I vote 'Done'!
