Fireblade: Buzzard's eye-view

[Synapse-3]

As Synapse continues his uneven creep through the city, his node darts this way and that in the sky in an attempt to make up for the lack of the second. He knows that Skyfire is somewhere above him, but he's counting on the relatively minute size of his node and few moments it takes to sort out identities to give him the time to play catch-up.

Apparently it's not enough time.

Slowly, the node rolls upwards for a brief scan of the skies above. The frown on Synapse's face deepens at the sight of the white giant still soaring above. The shuttle's still sticking around? Should he be flattered by this attention? Probably not if this is going to be be resulting in games of 'dodge the missile'.

[Skyfire]

Skyfire had confirmation; that surveillance node didn't belong to their Synapse. Leaving their enemies an eye-in-the-sky was a baad idea; he fired his proton cannon twice at the darting node.

// Skyfire here; attempting to shoot down enemy surveillance node. Alternate Synapse has gone to ground somewhere in quadrant <nnnn>; I've lost him. Where am I needed most and in what capacity? //

[Synapse-3]

Leaving the enemy's eye-in-the-sky is a bad idea, but Synapse has no plans for being shot down. Not when he checked into the medical so recently and with the results that followed. No, Synapse is being much more wary and quite a bit more careful with himself.

So as Skyfire's shots streak down from the skies, Synapse's node beats a hasty retreat back down and darts through city streets. The explosions reverberating behind is enough to make Synapse's decision.

Alright, he'll lay low for a while, both him and his node--that blasted shuttle.


OOC: And Synapse is skulking out of thread

[Skyfire]

Skyfire heard Oracle's distress call and turned away, streaking across the city as fast as his jets and crippled rockets would carry him.
