Nexus; Canyons east of the Sign; Wheeljack to the Rescue!

Wheeljack did not like this. He did not like this one bit. If he had his way, he would not be following these two Decepticons to Primus only knows where for Primus only knows what reason. Acorna, on the other hand, insisted, and when the Linyaari woman insists...

Well, she was both stubborn and persuasive, not to mention used to getting her way.

He only hoped that he could get her out of danger in time if this were to go sour.

"Jes don' go killin' nuttin'." She rises into the air and shoots off down the canyon.

With more care than he would've had were he not carrying a passenger, Wheeljack peels out and speeds his way to their destination.

The way is rough and varied, and there'll be a few places where he'll have to transform in order to make his way past obstacles or avoid winding up in the small river that loops into their path for a ways and forces the trail up onto the canyon wall. But finally he finds himself on a dry, sandy wash as Hormah swoops toward a ledge far above them and looks down.

"Ye good at climbin', b'y?" She scans for unwanted audience, then drops the cloak that covers the large, jagged edged cave opening several yards beneath her. It looks like it's been punched into the canyon wall. Guess why?

His vocal indicators flash as he mutters quietly to himself before giving Acorna a hand's up the ledge. "Yeah, I can climb. Slag, if Ratchet ever finds out I did this, I'm getting rewired into a toaster over."

The mun's guess is that the canyon wall got into a boxing match with Mike Tyson and lost.

Hormah lets go of Scarecrow, then lowers a line from her wrist so that Acorna can climb from where Wheeljack reached her up to to the opening, from which Requiem now comes. The young flier is thinking to prove that he's not lurking inside waiting to ambush. He's also wishing that he could just lift everyone up. Instead he flies upward and hovers above them as he scans the area.

The Linyaari woman made easy work of the cliff face with the aid of Hormah, Wheeljack following at a slower pace. Reaching her destination, Acorna looks around, taking in the large cavern.

Hormah zips in after her and lets go of Scarecrow, who wanders over to the opposite side of the space from where two big boulders sit, one littered with reading material. She doesn't watch her minion as he shifts to his alt mode, only walks across the sandy floor toward one of the two tunnels that lead out of the room. "Ye needs a light, b'y?"

[acorna-h-li.livejournal.com]

"Yes, please."

She pulls a wielding torch out of a storage compartment and lights it up. "Any good?"

Wheeljack pulls himself into the cavern, sees the torch, and then activates his headlights. "Put that away. That kind of light's bad for organics."
