"Damn. That doesn't sit right, sir," Epps says slowly to Lennox, "hiding behind a woman..." He eyes one of the pillars sidelong, wondering if he and Lennox could maybe knock it over or short it out or something.
And then take it back for the eggheads.
Kup debates if he should chase after Rampage, shoot at Rampage, knock down more pillars, or check on Rodimus. He really wants to dismember the Predacon with his bare hands. But seeing Rodimus go down on one knee is... not good. So Kup, whose hip is kind of busted, awkwardly tries to crawl over to Rodimus Prime's side, and he asks roughly, "What's got you down, lad?"

Lennox follows that glance. He purses his lips and nods once, acknowledging that he's having the same thought, but then shakes his head. They have no way of getting those pillars back to base without utilizing the Autobots as transport, and Lennox really doubts that the alien robots would just cheerfully help them take a weapon that can be used against them back to people who might one day actually use it against them.
However- there is at least one pillar that got knocked down and might have gotten conveniently covered with sand do that it could be recovered later by certain parties.
Arcee chooses to not hear Epps's sexist comment, though her lips do draw down into a thin line. She's other things to worry about, though, given that Kup has a broken hip, and Rodimus... Rodimus seems badly hurt, too.
Again, she tries to lever herself up, and this time, she manages a sitting position of sorts. She still can't move her legs, but self-repair is working on it.
"Roddy...," she starts, stopping, because she doesn't really want to get into relationship stuff in front of the humans.

Rodimus shakes his head and starts to pull himself back to his feet, though he does so slowly. "Blasted spider's poisonous," he observes, tone frustrated. "I'll be all right - not much got through my armor, and self-repair's already taking care of it." He glances after Rampage and scowls. None of them are really in a position to pursue, and they won't be able to do so effectively until they're out of the slow field, anyway.
And other things take priority to even that.
He looks around. "How is everyone, apart from the obvious?" He glances towards the humans. "You two all right?"

Epps is startled when Rodimus Prime directly addresses him and Lennox. He says weakly, "Just weirded out as all get out."
Kup gives Rodimus a downright suspicious look when the boy talks about poison, and he decides, "Poison? You ain't walking that off, lad. C'mon, we'll call in a relief team to finish what we started here, and we'll get back to the ship so you and the lass can get properly seen to."
Now Kup? Kup might walk this off if someone doesn't sit on him.

Lennox nods in agreement with Epps, "We're more or less all right." What's a few broken ribs, after all? "So, one of those things is poisonous, and the other can spontaneously regenerate. Any information you folks would be willing to share on them would be appreciated, I'm sure." Lennox keeps his tone neutral and respectful. Mostly.
"You're not walking off a broken hip, either, Kup," Arcee quips, "Think we all three need to get picked up.

"Heads up, guys, I'm going to start taking out the rest of these pillars," Rodimus warns, mostly for the humans' sake, as he fires at one of them. It's a carefully aimed, unhurried motion, because there's currently no threat.
"We'll share what we can," he tells Lennox, "but things change so fast that I'm afraid any information we provide will probably be out of date as soon as we give it." The worst part is, Rodimus is actually telling the truth. "There's already been a fair bit shared with your superiors, though mostly about their command figures."
He smirks at Kup. "We'll get a relief..." and then he looks around at the field, eying the pillars, "and clean-up team here, but you're coming back to base with us, old timer."
OOC: Thread end?
