OOC: Ehm. If there were deep sea suits on board the submarine, Metatron would have put a suit on first thing, because she's worried about Starscream sinking the submarine and drowning them all. If she had even half a clue that such a thing were on board, she would have gone looking for them and found them. However, there is no reason why this ship would not have deep sea suits, because they need the suit to enter the stations, because the hatch is flooded. So I am just going to assume that no one told her about the suits.
"There are suits!?" Metatron exclaims, and she goes off like a jack-rabbit, turning open every bulkhead, looking for them. As soon as she finds, them, she shoves herself into one, and she glares at the Cavalier. "You should have told me sooner!"

Taking a long, deep breath, Vortex resettles when the sharks leave, watching the fish pop in with a rather flat expression. She watches Wednesday try to catch one with a slightly less flat expression, but still not entirely cheerful.
Xaaron squawking about the suits lifts her mood up quite a bit however, and she snickers at the Autobot scurrying around the ship. “What, and make your life easier?” she prods.

"Open the doors and let me disembark this pathetic can already," Starscream demands to the intercom.

Costigan is still easing the sub up to the lock, so it's a few minutes before he replies. Once the sub snuggles up to the lock, there's a 'clunk-clunk' as the docking lugs engage.
"Well, yes," he drawls. "Thought that was obvious. They're in the equipment locker, just aft of the personnel lock. Lord Starscream, Ah'll be flooding the vehicle hangar so's you can get out just as soon as this lot gets suited up." Costigan flips a few switches, remotely closing the watertight doors between the vehicle hangar and the rest of the sub.
"Y'all were checked out on them before departure, right?" Costigan is supposed to drive the boat and bust heads if necessary. It's not his job to teach people how to use deep sea suits. He steps away from the pilot's station to get his own suit out of the bridge locker and don it. There's a small chance Starscream will get impatient and decide to open the vehicle bay door the hard way, and no guarantees of hull integrity if he does so.

Wednesday skips after Metatron to suit up post-haste, because all things considered he would prefer not to drown or be crushed into paste by pressure. Wrestling his way into one of the smaller suits available - and he will elbow Valerie righteously if need be to make sure he gets the one of his choosing! - he pouts at his covered hands afterward. He's not sure he can use his powers in this get-up without just setting his entire suit to blow.

OOC: Assuming suits happen for the purpose of moving the story forward, and that the ship is opened.
Suits happen. It is so.
Possibly, Rodney did not relay a rather important detail to his boss, and will get a stern talking-to at some point.
Either way, shortly after they are located, Cavalier (and likely the others, unless someone is staying behind) has donned his, and shortly after that, the group are in the airlock, waiting to be let out of the submarine as both the airlock and the back compartment are flooded. Rodney turns on the 'headlight' of his diving suit and smirks. "Kind of missed having this," he observes casually as the hatch begins to open. As soon as he gets the chance, he'll start to move forward, on the alert for unusual life-force... although down here, it's difficult, given the "interference" nearby.

OOC: Skipping due to time-out.
Starscream creeps out of the sub's vehicle bay like he's expecting trouble, hugging the wall and going around corners gatling-gun-first. There could be giant mutant superpowered isopods or something, he doesn't know. When it seems nothing is going to immediately leap out and attack him, he retracts his visible weapons, assumes a more dignified posture, and starts striding along the corridor in the direction he remembers the magical spirit well to be.
He really hates that magical spirit wells are a thing.

All the suits were the same, Wednesday! You were just looking for an excuse to elbow her!
“That’s cus you are a ridiculous space man,” Vortex snipes and does her best to kick his stupid butt under the circumstances. To Rodney, she cheerfully says, “You won’t be missing it too much after you die at least.”

Chichokon well!
Metatron is... not entirely shocked. She just wonder what god got stuck in Earth and why.
And then giant mutant superpowered isopods attack.
They are Clown Train ispods.
They are the worst.

OOC: Various time outs, etc, etc. Whatever, I'm posting.
"Clown train isopods!" Cavalier exclaims out loud so that the kids at home know what they are. "Those are the worst kind!" That is also important for the kids at home to know.
Cavalier would really prefer not to kill them, because it's not their fault that they're unspeakable horrors of the deep, but the scorpion nano-mecha-virus is currently laying waste to Detroit, and there's simply no time to be subtle.
He flicks on his protective aura right outside of his suit and turns it up as heavily as he can. The light shines bright through the water in that strange way that underwater light does, and the water near him gets uncomfortably hot (although the constant flow of new water too and old water away keeps it from actually boiling). He then swims-flies towards any that's blocking his way, more interested in simply getting towards the well than he is with actually getting engaged in a lengthy battle with his clown-train opponents.
He's currently pouring out a lot of life-energy at the moment.
The undersea base trembles slightly.

The Clown Train isopods are big, compared to the humanized Transformers. They are not so big compared to Starscream. The massive machine snarls, grabs the nearest crustacean, and tears it in half. Metal is stronger than flesh.
"Hellbender, take a sounding," he orders over his shoulder as he transforms one hand into a missile launcher. "I want to know if there are any other surprises waiting for us. I don't have the patience for this nonsense right now."
The recently bisected invertebrate's back end shrivels away to nothing, disintegrating into the sea from whence it came. The front end crawls toward Starscream, hissing and chittering, claws snapping, bubbling out fluids from the gaping wound where its back end used to be.
"I really don't have the patience for this nonsense right now."

(OOC: I'm not dead yet, really.)
Donal Costigan, wearing his own deep-sea suit, fends off one of the isopods, holding its jaws away from him with sheer strength.
"Can we get moving into the section that's still pressurised? Ah can't punch these things without breaking my own suit, and dancin' with it doesn't seem to do the trick," he growls (over the suit's radio link, of course).
Starscream isn't the only one with limited patience for funny-colored giant mutant crustacean attacks. "Slaggit, Swindle ought to be here filming this--he could probably sell footage as a lost SciFi Original movie."
Costigan's suit is slightly modified to let him use his sonar abilities without just giving him a huge migraine from internal echoes. "Yes, sir. Looks like the way is mostly clear of large actives once we get past these critters, though there's a lot of passive junk--coral, maybe? And small actives--probably them teleporting air-swimming fish we saw last visit."

“Oh, frikken joy,” Valerie complains, ducking the open maws of one of the ispods. She is generally an agile person. She is not such an agile person in a suit and she was nowhere near strong enough to fend them off without her wind powers. The mention of Swindle does little to lighten her mood.
“Yeah, hopefully they ain’t evil, tiny chainsaw worms or somethin’, huh?” Grabbing something vaguely pipe-like off the floor, Valerie tries to stab it through the mutant’s belly.

Wednesday isn't in much of a better position than Valerie. He can't use his explodey powers without blowing himself up, and his freakish agility is hampered by his suit. He does his best to follow in the Cavalier's wake, however, taking advantage of the slight path he makes through the crowd and leeching off some of the excess heat in the water.
"Whooo, let's have a clown bake!" He is mildly worried about getting eaten by these bizarre deep sea horrors, but it mostly just makes him giddy. Plus, he'll given them the worst indigestion.

"That's a good question," Rodimus answers Shades. "I think I remember them having a few internal hatches, which is... weird. Usually you just have hatches to the outside and then air tight boundaries, but I guess they were prepared for partial internal flooding?" It's a weird place. Let's move on.
Cavalier "cheats," using his flight to boost his swimming as much as he can, though he'll stop and help along anyone who needs it. While Clown Train isopods may be terrible, the group are made up of some extremely powerful humanish-folk, plus a giant robot. They should make it to one of those confusing internal hatches soon enough.
"C'mon!" Cavalier shouts, waving the others inside so that they can depressurize the area.
