I realised that I should post Ramulus following in this current round, but he's officially only after BA & Needlenose. So I'm posting him now. ---------
Ramulus watches the group go, only a little while later remembering that... "Oh wait! I'm with that group!" He dashes after the lot. This right about makes him the last one to follow. The group stops. Gazing down at the excavation, Ramulus paces back and forth with excitement. //Oh! That's fantastic!"

Once Glyph has paid for the tour, her curiosity starts to get the better of her. Finally, she outright asks Elita - "Might I examine the egg while we're on the way to the ruins? It was rather curious to me. I believe I saw writing on it, and I want to see if I can translate it, or if it's in a language I already know."
Glyph may or may not have the Eager Puppy Look going on.

Jetstorm pays for himself, and then takes back to the air!
...to see some others disappear into the ruins. Needlenose doesn't draw his attention, but those vaguely familiar stingers get him to take a closer glance.
However, he's not fast enough, and the pair are in the ruins before he can confirm his half-glance. He disregards it for the time being, and settles for flying near the group once more.

Jetfire follows his brother's example, but neither of the bots strike him as familiar and he doesn't pay them much mind, following closely after their group. Yes, he'll undoubtedly have to land at some point, but he's not putting his feet on the ground until he absolutely has to!
Grinning at Jetstorm, he says, "Be keeping up, brother!"

Just more egg and bird imagery, Needlenose, so it probably does look familiar to the Mayhem. "You used to be a car?" Blackarachnia asks as they pass into the tunnels. She sounds genuinely interested, and a little surprised. Diverlo leads the pair down what seems to actually be an excavated hallway, possibly of a temple or attached complex. They come up on a fresco that seems to be an except from a story. It depicts and ornate (but empty, nest of golden straw, tended by several people who bear resemblance to the native people. They are drawn in postures that convey fear. A dark shadow appears to be falling on the nest, a stylized shadow that seems to have both fang and claw. Their guide starts as his pocket starts to beep, and he quickly pulls out a walkie talkie equivalent. A few minutes conversation and he says something in the native language to Blackarachnia. The spider arches one set of brows up. "Interesting. Seems that one of the money-hungry tour guides is getting ready to bring a group through. And that group is made of robots that look similar to us." As a heads up, Ramulus, once you're skipped, you can post back in whenever. So posting when you did was fine!

"Oh, sure. A few different sorts, actually. Was the 'in' thing in Iacon, you know. Spent some time as a sports car, all terrain vehicle... I was even a smoking motorcycle for awhile, but I wouldn't want to go that light now," Needlenose chatters cheerfully. I may not be able to insta-switch alternate modes like some people - boy, but wouldn't that be something? - but the way I see it, we're Transformers! A little change is good for us now and again!"
He tilts his head at the fresco and approaches it, lifting a hand towards the shadow. "Hmmm..." he humms. Then he looks back at Blackarachnia and snorts. "Well, to these people, 'similar to us' could easily be, say, Lithonians. But still... interesting coincidence I think."

"Sure, sure," Elita says, digging in her bag as she walks, "No problem. Just so long as I get it back!" She laughs a bit as she tries to hand the carved egg over to Glyph, but the laugh dies at Dinobot's comment.
"Decepticons? Where?" She glances around.
It doesn't take the group long to get to the excavation opening. The group's guide attempts to take them inside, but will lead them down a different hallway branch from the one the Decepticons are in. The hallways connect eventually however. Perhaps next round.*

Guzzle whips his head back around as soon as Dinobot mentions Decepticons, his optics squinting as he looks down art the temple. He doesn't see anyone though, the pair already having going into the ruins. "Hrn. Don't see anythin'. Let's be ready just in case, though. At least things are getting a bit more interesting! "And don't worry folks, you'll be safe with us around." Yes, Dinobot, the Wrecker is talking about you. Looks like he does respect the lizard brain as a warrior.
Guzzle follows Elita-1 down the trail and into the temple, keeping the Judge in it's holster for now, though he's ready to pull it out at a moment's notice.

"Possibly. I only got a brief look. Could be nothing," the raptor responds to Elita-1. No use scaring the civilians over nothing, after all. "But if they are Decepticons . . . there's two of them and seven of us, in an isolated location underground. Radio reception may be limited. We won't get a better opportunity to thin our enemies' numbers."
Yes, Dinobot is suggesting a preemptive strike on two Decepticons who are just minding their own business, despite standing orders.

Ramulus follows the group, but seems more intent on lingering around the site. There is so much to see. Dinobot's intentions bring forth clashing morals. On one side, Ramulus totally agrees that taking out the enemy at any given time is good strategy.
On the other hand.... there is no situation.

"Of course, of course!" Glyph happily accepts the egg, and starts to looking over it as best she can, considering she's walking at the same time. Whatever will she find on it?
The idea of Decepticons and the discussion are going over her head, as she's too caught up in the letters on the egg.

"No, brother, you should be keeping up!" Jetstorm answers, and moves ahead of the group to the entrance, since they're not very far from it anyway. He still hovers, though, looking around as he does so. Touching down can wait, just like with Jetfire - Jetstorm doesn't want to land until he absolutely has to.

"I am keeping up, brother!"
Following after Jetstorm, Jetfire attempts to catch him in a headlock and attempts to give him a noogie. Rough-housing on a tour, for shame.

Glyph will find very tiny carvings on the egg, words that might at first blush make up a story or poem. Certain words in the local language are repeated often, however, words like beware, darkness, and guide.
A bit more conversation between Blackarachnia and Diverlo, ad the spider lady turns back to Needlenose. "He says that the other guide will take them a different route through the tunnels to the excavated temple. So that they won't interrupt our... examination of the site."
//But if someone wanted to get a look at the group on the sly, they'd just need to take the left fork up ahead and it will come out behind them.//
Needlenose has tiny partners who can sneak about, after all.

Yeah, but Needlenose's tiny partners aren't known for subtlety! Still, Needlenose answers, //Got it.//
Zigzag, Sunbeam, try to get a look at 'em. Don't get noticed. Try not to be morons.
Oh, hah hah.
Uh, dude, you remember that I'm not top without some rays, right?
No, Sunbeam, I suddenly forgot that after being bonded to you for years. Of course I remember! Like I said, don't get noticed. If you get noticed, get right back to me.
Out loud, however, Needlenose just answers, "Well, how very nice of them!" and he gets back to looking over the mural, head tilted and antennae slightly skewed. Then he starts to check out the rest of the room.
