Zoe 'verse 3. The Rock. New resources.

[random_xtras]

Dalla looks around the busy factory room, her expression showing her satisfaction as the human workers busily grind rock and mix gum and have the occasional argument with their protective gear.

"This makes me very happy," she says to the mech who is there in the interests of taste testing.

"Yes," Blitzwing says, a smile on his own face, "I'm glad we could find something you could help us with."

[random_xtras]

"The meat plant is nearly ready to start, too. We've made the changes that Zoe suggested in sanitation and space." Dalla pauses to pick up an energon dumpling in her hand and then offers it to Blitzwing.

Blitzwing really had no idea about the meat plant, but he'd let Zoe know once he got home. Instead, he took the dumpling Dalla offered and tasted it. "Not too bad," he says, "But then, these are supposed to be on the bland side. It's the sauce that makes the dish."

[random_xtras]

"Hmm." She reaches across a bank of work stations and snags a bit of purple rock powder, then dusts the rest of the dumpling with it for him.

And then her ears go back with surprise as a rather pale and ratty looking young human man comes running in shouting that there's a ship overhead!

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"Much better," Blitzwing says as he finishes the dumpling, and then pauses. Ship? "Swindle wasn't planning any deliveries today..." he said, curious.

[random_xtras]

Dalla's ears go back further in a frown as she strides toward the roof entrance. "What does the ship look like, Willin?"

"It's big," says the young man, running after her. "And white. It came low over the water from the South."

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing's now a little worried. Hopefully the ship doesn't mean trouble, but somehow he doubts it. Or will, until he sees what's going on. So he follows Dalla, careful of the human running with them.

The plant is near the center of the Rock, so the sea isn't readily visible from the roof. Dalla sweeps everything she can see with her eyes, and then startles as she spots something white suddenly appear over the wall in the distance. "Blitzwing, can you talk to them?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"I can try," Blitzwing says, the hails the ship on an open frequency, asking that they identify themselves.

[random_xtras]

There's a pause, and then a deep, soft male voice replies in English with a slight accent. "This is Captain D'rng'tla, of the K'vk'ar Airforce. Who are you?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"This is Blitzwing, of Cybertron," Blitzwing replies. He also relays the information to Dalla.

[random_xtras]

"Cybertron?" comes the surprised reply. "What are you doing on K'vk'tun?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"This....is K'vk'tun?" Blitzwing's reply is equally as surprised, but Random can't help himself, and he takes control and replies, "Taste-testing!"

[random_xtras]

"That's what we call the planet, friend," says D'rng'tla, then falls silent for a moment before he speaks again. "Who is in charge on the island?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"I believe that would be Dalla," Icy returns to the front, and relays the information to Dalla as well.

[random_xtras]

The Lu woman blinks. "Well, I'm not in charge of the whole Rock. But I'll talk to them."

"Is there somewhere we could land, friend? Or where some of us could disembark?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

"How large is your ship?" Blitzwing asks, "Landing..may be difficult."

[random_xtras]

D'rng'tla relates the dimensions of his vessel as Dalla shakes her head.

"I don't think this roof would hold it," says the Lu woman. "Can they come off of it?"

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing relays the message, "There's not much space in this island. Any way you can come off the ship?"

[random_xtras]

"That will be no problem, friend. Just tell us where to go."

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing knew Dalla knew this place better than he did, so he asked her the best place before relaying that information.

[random_xtras]

The white speck in the distance rapidly grows larger, though the engine is mostly silent. Soon there's a massive ship hovering over the plant, and from its belly comes a beam of light. In this beam can be seen human-shaped forms which float down toward the roof.

Dalla's ears are now flat with astonishment, and Willin has fled.

[swindle-blitz.livejournal.com]

Blitzwing is...a bit impressed. Not with the tech, but that humans have that level of it.

[random_xtras]

Not quite Earth norm human, as Blitzwing will see when the beam dies away. One of the people is a massive man with golden skin, a white mane of hair that stands up away from his head, and yellow cat's eyes. Beside him is a tall muscular woman of the same race, her mane trailing down her back nearly to her butt. Both of these are dressed in simple leather shorts and vests. Another woman, this one with paw-like feet, long pointed and mobile ears and misty grey skin stands nearby, her tall form enveloped in a massive pair of draconian wings which match her pale blue hair in colour. The last person is seated on a hover disk, and is a sleek-furred man with a swimming tail instead of legs.

"Greetings," Blitzwing says, noting that these weren't the humans he knew, and wondered if Swindle had ever met anyone similar, "I am Blitzwing, and this is Dalla."
