Jetstorm ducked, and is soon back up, and wondering what's with all the crashing. However, Dinobot provides a handy accusation to latch onto! "Yeah, what is being big idea?!"

Having dodged the darts, Jetfire is quickly next to his brother, glaring sternly over Dinobot's shoulder. The guide is working for the Decepticons? Say it isn't so!
"Only badness guys are working for Decepticons!" Jetfire does not abide by bad guys! He cracks his knuckles, tiny flames licking across them.

Cuerva whimpers and flails his arms, though he takes care not to move against the sharp point of Dinobot's sword.
"Nononono, who is that I don't even know who you speak of! I give tour, not break temple! Temple great treasure. Many spirits here to get angry. Please, I didn't!"
The lizard guide is sobbing in fear. Warrior he is not.
The sound of the crash- and Cuerva's cries- echo into the temple room. Diverlo jumps up from where he kneels, obviously startled. Blackarachnia says something to him in the native language, and he begins to back slowly away from the two Decepticons. After a few steps, he turns and almost runs from the temple room, presumably headed outside.
She turns to Needlenose, a rather predatory smile on her face. "Shall we make for them a warm welcome in the cold temple of the lost?" she says, before leaping onto a column and shimmying up into the shadows.

Needlenose's antennae lay back on his head like a cat twisting back its ears, his optics narrowed in annoyance as he draws his back-up pistol from subspace.1
"I could give them a much warmer welcome if my best guns were't in another room," he mutters, ducking behind the column itself.
Get back here, you idiots! he yells at Zigzag and Sunbeam, who are now running towards the temple using the same route Needlenose and Blackarachnia had taken not too long before.
We're running as fast as we can! snaps Zigzag angrily. You know, we've done all the work so far!
Yes, yes, yes, once we're done with all of this I'll give you a bonus to your pay or something.
We get paid? Sunbeam asks, bewildered.
Hahaha! Just kidding! Needlenose laughs.
1 See? Overcompensation isn't the only reason he has that thing!

"Hey hey hey! Dinobot, what are you doing?" Elita-1 asks as she gets back on her feet, "The guy said that the place was unstable and dangerous. It could have just been a cave in or some such, a bad join or something." She really isn't used to the idea that Decepticons could lurk around every corner.
She dusts off her knees, "Besides, there's only one way left for us to go, even if it is a trap." Though she doesn't sound like she expects it to be.

Guzzle turns his head at Dinobot's little outburst, and can't really do anything but give him a LookTM and shake his head. Then his attention is back on their surroundings, keeping the Judge raised, his optics narrowing as he stays close to the rest of the group, his lasersight dancing over the interior of the rest of the tunnel....Though he does snicker at Elita's comment. "Heh. Wish it was that simple. Was a gunshot. Was either late tombraiders or Cons."
Oh, how Guzzle wish it was the former. He'd really rather not get into a gunfight with civvies involved. He pops out the ammo cartridge of his weapon and opens one of the canisters on his torso, putting it in and pulling out one with standard rounds, glancing at the lizard again as he moves to pop the new round in. "Dinobot! Yer the leader type; orders?"

"Hasty? This scum offers us a 'special bonus tour' and suddenly our escape route has collapsed and darts are shooting out of the walls!" Dinobot replies to Glyph.
Putting his free hand (that is, the hand not holding a sword against anyone's throat) to the side of his helmet, he activates his radio. //Dinobot to Ramulus. If you can hear me, our escape route has been cut off and we're proceeding further into the ruins.//
Oh, but hey! Finally one of the Maximals Autobots has recognized who should be in charge. There might be just a hint of a smile visible on Dinobot's face in the darkness. "I'll take point. Jetfire, Jetstorm, keep an eye on our 'guide'." At this, Dinobot draws back his sword from Cuerva's scaly throat, but keeps it in hand. "Guzzle, cover our rear," he finishes, moving forward along the passageway. Like Elita-1 said, they don't have much of a choice.

Glyph frowns at Dinobot. "You're jumping to conclusions!" She motions to Cuerva. "He said this path is more dangerous, and, well, this is an old temple that at one point was full of treasures! This area has not been picked over, so it makes sense that the traps are still active!"
Huffy nerdbot is huffy! "Are Elita-1 and I the only ones not thinking with our weapons?"

Jetstorm ignores Glyph's ranting at Dinobot for the most part, and moves up to take position on one side of Cuerva. "Well...is better to be the safe than sorry!"

Outside, Ramulus lifts his head and answers Dinobot's transmission, //Hostiles or natural occurrence of the compound, Dinobot? I'll keep ready.//
Supposedly still skippable/on watch till further prompting.

Jetfire doesn't salute Dinobot or call him 'sir', but he does give him a firm nod and an "Okey-for-dokey!" before taking his place on the other side of Cuerva. He responds well to an authoritative tone, even when it's from someone much smaller than him.

Blackarachnia continues to skulk in the shadows in the upper reaches of the temple.
Cuerva walks between the twins, shuffling along and sobbing. Interspersed between a constant stream of the native language and sobs are protests in common of his innocence as well as pleading for his life.
The rest of the corridor, while jumbled, seems safe enough.
OOC: Please to be getting to temple room now?

Needlenose waits for the Autobots (and others) to emerge from the tunnel, optics narrowed and antennae thrown back in annoyance. The Nebulans aren't yet caught up to them yet, since they not only had to go Needlenose and Blackarachnia's route, but had to double back part of the Autobots', too. But they'd be arriving soon...1
1 Probably next Needlenose post!

Elita makes a sound of annoyance and shoots a look of commiseration at Glyph. "Looks like it." Not that Elita-1 has any weapons. Her optics blink in an approximation of an eyeroll, "Boys."
She sniffs, then continues down the corridor, head held high. Yeah, so she is a bit stuck-up and Kup Minor was right. So what? Right now she's surrounded by toughs who can only think of fighting. When this tour is done, she and Glyph should go get a nice drink together and lament the failings of the opposite sex.
When they come to the temple room, she can't help but try and push past Dinobot. She wants to see!

Surely you can not blame Guzzle! He doesn't even have an opposite sex! Well, he does, but it's a deranged, murderous 'transformer'. Surely that does not count?
Guzzle only says a quick 'roger' before he falls into position, finishing loading his weapon and then gets himself ready for combat, clutching his weapon tightly as he moves with the group. He does not comment on Dinobot's leadership, or the way the group reacts; instead, he's the perfect soldier, ready to spring into action.
