The counter reached zero, and Arma knew, it was her time to take action. Screamer would be out of their way, the right time for them to start their operation. All holoprojectors had been turned off before, as well as her window, which now presented only countless stars. She stepped away from the window, walking to the wall, pressing her hand against the panel, opening hideout, a small one, but enough to store up few grenades. There were 3 of them, not too much, but at the right place, they could cause some serious damage, which though wasn't her real meaning now. They would also create some nasty havoc when blown at the right spot. She attached them, and shutted the hatch. Stepping out of her room, she gave locking signal.
She was ready...

She walked towards the hallway, like she had always done, but looked more determined than usually, she wasn't just wandering around the ship. It didn't took too long, before she saw two eradicons come from crossing hallway. She fired couple of smoke grenades, which let out loud bangs when blowing. Drones were blinded for an second, before they were shot to sieve's by Arma's machine gun. It all created noise, caughting attention of many inhabitants.

After few killed drones, Arma caught one of her grenades, and when coming in front of certain door, armed it. Room was filled with drones, which were caught completely by surprise, as she gave good burst from her machine gun, and threw the grenade after them, before continuing her walk. The explosion shook the hallway, and the sound of alarm siren started. She knew what was coming, and armed her main cannon, and as the first group of drones charged, not yet knowing what they were fighting against, they were blown to bits by the ion blast. The later ones were not that stupid, and took cover, as well as they were able to, as Arma let her machine gun fire freely.

Yes, she was a tough warrior, she knew it herself. But the most important, she was the last person you wanted to make your enemy. She would show this to anyone who was willing to test their luck with her. It went just as planned, all the attention on the ship would soon be concentrated on her, leaving brig unguarded. Now, she should just hold, until the right time, and until Fairwinds would ping her

The ping came four kliks later, accompanied by the text: :: Clobbering time, Arma! Bridge out when it gets too hot - don't wait for us. See you at the rendezvous point! \v/ (<-- Fairwinds =D) <3 xxx ::

<<Over to you guys!>>

The drones on shift had been assigned there by Ratbat's arcane Nemesis shift scheduling system, mostly on the grounds of expendability. A few particularly expendable sentient Eradicons had been assigned to the time period as well, but most of them had weaseled out of the duty beforehand, leaving a slightly understaff complement going through automated response patterns.

Which weren't bad, per se. Many Autobots had almost memorized the patterns, which reduced their effectiveness against the other side, but they were designed adequately and the drones moved like clockwork. One underinformed sentient Eradicon nearby, hearing the gunfire, tried to organize a trap, falling back with a few drones to a point where they could set up a crossfire. Others turned the corner and marched forward, shooting steadily. A single drone survivor from the room Arma had grenaded pulled himself along the floor by his arms to the hall and began to shoot at her back.

The pulsing sound of an alarm began to go off, alerting the ship to a security breach. The parts of the ship that weren't in the vicinity of the command office, at least.

Arma felt something itching her backplates, and as she turned sideways, noticed lone survivor, firing towards her. Badly damaged drone had even less firepower than the normal one, but still, Arma let her machine gun's fire pierce the drone, before turning back to the direction she had been going. Drones marching towards her were blown into bits by her main cannon's blast, which she tried to supress this time. Even if her meaning was to cause distraction, she didn't want to blow up the whole ship. These were, after all, somehow comrades, not the autobots, for who she never held back her powers.
She also knew the patterns quite well, too many times she had destroyed them, when they had gotten on her way on the battlefield, and knew that there would be ambush very close, but as she trusted her armoring, didn't care too much. Sound of alarm was echoing in the hallways, drones turning from every corner, few made it to fire at her, but even less made a hit, before she completely crushed them. Arma was just bit disappointed she couldn't touch Screamer this time, but knew, that she would really enjoy, when she could see his desperate face, feel the fear emitting from his field, as Lord Megatron would finally be back. New wave of Drones marched towards her, firing steadily, and she just let both of her guns turn their targets into scrapmetal, the hallway was turning into junkyard, energon spilled everywhere, scrapmetal crushing under her pedes.

There were a lot of downed Vehicons. Not all were totally disabled, but after what happened to the first one the few that were semi-awake enough to think about such things weren't terribly motivated to get up and draw more fire from someone who outmatched them so significantly.Tactics for the remaining drones capable of responding had switched from "engage" to "contain", trying to keep Arma tied down and away from the groundbridge until backup could arrive.

A pair of awakened miners managed to lock themselves behind a bulkhead before falling victim to Arma. They exchanged glances. What the hell? What kind of a crazy massacre was going on?

There were a number of slightly hopeless "help" pings going out from the wounded. Slightly hopeless because practically nobody on the Nemesis actually paid attention to 'help' pings from their sort.

Containing her was easier said than done, if that's what drones were after. Her raw strenght and heavy armoring, not to mention her weapon arsenal, quaranteened that she wasn't easily overpowered by anyone. This was the fact that had been proven so many times in the war on Cybertron. In her past, she had also stomped countless comrades under her pedes, many ones, who had been on her way in the battle, had faced their end through her actions. This wasn't any different, they were on her way, to get Megatron back, and she would do anything it takes, to bring him back.
As she advanced, her sensors picked up closing sounds, from behind. She turned sideways at the hallway, her main cannon facing one direction, and her machine gun targeting it's fire to the other direction. Things started to heat up a little, and as she made clean a bit of space to her right side, creating small pause to the firing, she grabbed another grenade, and tossed it at the back of the hallway, fully turning to the opposite direction, letting her both guns raid the lines of the drones. Drones arriving her backside noticed the grenade only when it blew up, causing pieces fly through air, causing whole hallway to tremble once again.
It shouldn't be long any more, before she should finally head to the groundbridge, as she would take too long, it would be more and more difficult to ram through patrols.

"Cease fire, soldiers!" a commanding voice broke through the blaster fire, causing many Vehicons to lower their weapons and turn to the voice. "What seems to be the cause of MORE damage to the interior of the Nemesis?" a femme Seeker asked one of the drones. Her violet plating almost seemed black with the lighting of the ship's halls.

"Captain Slipstream, it's Arma. She is on a rampage...! Most likely a cause of the loss of former Lord Megatron." One soldier explained the situation. "She is one of his most loyal followers... A fanatic. We must rid the ship of her for Lord Starscream's sake." After the explanation, the stone jumped back slightly, Slipstream's hand transformed into a blaster pointed in its face before it was blasted into an explosion of shrapnel.

"Pity... I feel the same as her." she smirked, preparing for the retaliation from the drones. She removed her left wing and raised it enticing the Vehicons to come at her.

For some reason, there were now less Drones at the other direction, which for Arma focused again for bigger mass of them, firing them down like they were shooting targets, pretty much how it was. Timer in her processor was nearing six kliks, and she really started to think of retreating to the groundbridge, as there was all the time more and more drones on their way to stop her, and if some heavy hitter would also join in the fray, along with the drones, she might actually be late from the meeting.
Firing last two blasts from her ion cannon, she turned her cannon into an axe, and started ramming through the lines of the drones blocking her way. Now, her objective had changed, she should just get to the groundbridge, fighting was secondary right now, yet it was unavoidable.
Mowing her way through their lines, there were less drones than she expected, and when she saw wall ahead, she rammed final drone before her against it, smashing it's head to pieces with the handle of her axe, which blade were still hanging parts of the drones. As she made to look around a bit, she found seeker, which she mistook to Starscream first by the frame, but soon noticed her mistake. She hadn't made contact with this new seeker, who had entered the Nemesis just a while ago, knowing her just by name, and nothing more.
Arma turned facing Slipstream, rising her axe towards the seeker. "Are you too trying to stop me?" She asked, thin line of energon leaking from her system, dripping down her armor. Even if they were just drones, and no matter how heavy you were, enough firing to the same spot, and it would definitedly give in some point. "I'll give you one chance to move out of my way, before i'll tear you down." She tightened her grip from the handle, after her words, not even noticing that there were no drones at the point, fully focusing on the seeker before her.

Slipstream lowered her blasters, converting them back into her claws. "Stop you? Word has it you wish to rescue Lord Megatron." she started speaking to the taller Decepticon. "I wish for the return of our master as well. Starscream must learn his place in this army." Her optics narrowed at the thought of the Sky Commander being forced back into his normal duties as she smiled.

"Besides, if Commander Dreadwing were to hear of this event, I would never be able to face him." she explained her situation while being Captain of the Seekers. "I must say, you handle yourself well for a ground-based unit. I am Slipstream. What is your name and status aboard the Nemesis?"

Arma's head tilted a bit, as she heard seeker's words, about also wishing for the return of their leader. And that Starscream must learn his place in the Decepticon army. Next she babbled something about commander Dreadwing, and that for a ground-based, she handled herself pretty well. Finally introducing herself, as Slipstream, and asking for her name and status aboard nemesis.
Her axearm dropped on her side, after she confirmed they were alone, no drones seeing this. "Arma, no real position on Nemesis, just a warrior." Her battlemask opened, before continuing. "About what you said of Starscream learning his place in this army. He'll gets no chance for that." Arma's tone was stable, but her optics were burning of fury towards aerial commander. "I know, that Screamer had something to do with our Lord's disappearing. After i'll know what happened, and if Lord Megatron is not gonna execute him, then i will." Arma barely finished her sentence, as she turned her head, seeing few drones rushing towards her, firing their blasters, getting burst from her machine gun as response, silencing them for good. Making sure they were alone again, she turned back to Slipstream. "And about the ground-based, there aren't many fliers with this heavy armoring, and arsenal." Arma vented bit, her field remaining stable and calm. "So... what are you gonna do now?"

"I'm not sure... I only heard word that you are a loyalist to our true lord sovereign." Slip began as the plating on her back shifted, one wing dropping into her claw. "What exactly IS your plan, Arma?" As she finished the question, she noticed a small platoon of drones charging towards the warrior.

The Seeker dropped into a pose in which her sword-like wing covered a good portion of her frame. Her engine shifted into gear, causing thrusters in her feet to propel her towards the would-be assailants. As she does closer to them, a few Vehicons jumped out of the way, leaving their comrades to be pushed into the wall, toppling into a mangled pile of injured soldiers. The remaining drones prepared to open fire on the femme. A few blasts of the first volley struck Slipstream in her back, thigh, and what would be a Gilda's Achilles heel. Letting out a sharp cry of pain she turned back ready to blast the remainder with her blaster.

The explosion from the first grenade rocked the Nemesis. With the ringing of the klaxon many Decepticons had been scrambled to deal with a threat that apparently came from within. Before that had all happened, Aquila was involved in a little bit of in-fighting among the ranks. It was some what of a usual occurrence with him around. The only thing that kept it from escalating into a real problem was that he often kept to himself. Only when he was in one of his states of mind did the in-fighting happen. This was probably one of those times.

The scrambling of many Eradicons to the source of the distress of course drew his attention. Wondering what poor idiot probably mixed some volatile substances this time, he followed the apparent horde of drones. It wasn't until he heard the weapons fire and shouting that he started having an idea of just what was going on. As another squad of drones passed by him, Aquila grabbed one by the shoulder and held him back, refraining from pinning the sentient drone against the wall, "Report." His voice was unusually calm, although his facial alloy expression begged to differ along with his EMF.

"I-it's Arma and Slipstream! They've mutinied!" yelped the drone.

"Feh!" Aquila grinned as he shoved the drone aside. That particular drone found himself to be lucky, as he had narrowly escaped a beating, or something worse from the glitched Seeker. Aquila knew the drones were incapable of putting up a good fight. He had no time or patience to deal with such small fry. Fighting Arma and Slipstream, however, presented a prime opportunity to work out his bloodthirsty tendencies. The berserker's boosters activated, lifting him slightly off the floor as he moved forward, heading towards the source of the disturbance.

A short amount of navigating the halls and he found himself staring down the culprits behind the disturbance. Corpses of drones littered the halls, no doubt taken down by the motley duo. "Out of my way, peasants!" he roared as he plowed through some retreating drones and knocked others off their fear from the air he was displacing. About time someone showed up to face them who wasn't a drone. Aquila rocketed straight for Slipstream. Twin energon blades flash-forged themselves into existence in between his forearms and his mounted shields. The Seeker fired his maneuver boosters every now and then, changing his course at random and keeping onlookers guessing as to where he'd really be. As he neared the femme Seeker, he spun as he continued forward, one blade aiming to slash high while the other blade was held flat in order to impact Slipstream's thigh with blunt force and knock her off her pedes. Aquila was in no way on Starscream's side in this little conflict. He just wanted a good fight, in addition to wanting to tell them something about undermining his efforts. But the latter could wait until they were ready to escape. He wanted some fun first.

Steve was having a bad day.

That was probably a given, seeing how he was up to his elbows one of his engineer’s chest cavities. There was a rupture in the other mech’s spark support systems, a critical one, one that could actually take him offline forever instead of just knocking him into emergency stasis like most of the mechanoids Arma and Slipstream were stupidly plowing through like they had a reason to go apeshit, as the humans would say, and fire on their system techs.

When Fairwinds had said there was going to be a 'distraction' he'd been prepared for some structural damage: not this and reserved the right to do as he pleased at this point. He knelt, crouched behind cover, speaking on inter-comm radio.

“Command? This is ERO-404 in sub-level fifteen. Arma and some Seeker –” (“Slipstream!” someone snarled. “The stupid glitch-frak traitorous glitch-slat is Slipstream.”) “ –Slipstream,” he corrected, “have gone rogue. I repeat: Arma and Slipstream have gone rogue. They are firing openly on Nemesis personnel and I have bots down in the corridors. Requesting medical assistance and back up; all hands at non-critical ship stations report to sub-level fifteen, NOW! I have… oh, frak, is that Aquila? Of all the stupid glitch-wit spawns of glitches to actually respond… ugh Fine. I have Aquila engaging. Be advised, lethal force is cleared.”

Claxons were already sounding all across the ship.

“I think,” muttered Steve, watching Aquila attack, “that they’re trying to get to groundbridge control…”

((OOC: As per the plan, Arma should be pushing toward the groundbridge so she can escape via pre-set coordinates. Carry on fighting etc, but Arma, and I guess Slipstream’s goal, should probably be exiting the Nemesis via groundbridge unless they want to be brigged or shot. When Arma groundbridges out the next thread is here, where she joins Barricade and Fairwinds. ))

Arma had no time to answer Slipstream's question about her plan, as new wave of drones rushed towards. Arma lifted her machine gun towards them, but refused to fire, as seeker got ahead of her, to be exact, on her way. Her processor kept working, thinking if she should just ram her way through to the groundbrigde, but was also pretty sure, that if she would leave now, Slipstream would be same as offlined, seeing her getting her backplates blown. She didn't know the damages, but hoped they wouldn't be too high. Situation started to look like she should take Slipstream with her, or Screamer would have too much fun with smaller femme.
Not that it would not been enough, soon she noticed Aquila thrusting towards lighter one, and his intentions were very clear, for Arma. So sad, to be honest, if situation would've been any other, she would've taken her time to find out how tough one he really was. But now there was no time. The longer she took, the further away was Lord Megatron's returning to Nemesis, any other comrades were possible sacrifices, even Slipstream.
"I have no time for this." Arma vented, and armed the last grenade, dropping it on the floor, before turning, and started to run, explosion shocking the hull. Slipstream could follow her, if she could, but if not, it wasn't her problem, she had her mission, and distraction part, had been succesfull. But now, it was her time to retreat, and join the rest of the rescue team.
On her way to groundbridge control, she encountered only few raddies, which she left one in online state, who she dragged with her, into the groundbridge control, thowing him on the floor, and pointing her cannon towards Drone, sentient one, at least. "Open the bridge control, and you'll remain in one piece..." Not sure herself would she keep her promise, but Drone at least hoped so, and started to run his fingertips on control panels, until there was time to give coordinates, which Arma tapped in, turning towards drone, revealing her armblade. She made two swift moves with her blade, carving mark into the drone's armor. "If you'll give these coordinates to Starscream, or any of his followers, i'll find you first, and tear you up, slowly. Remember, you weren't here." With that, she returned her arm back, and nodded Drone to activate the bridge.
As Arma walked through portal, she just wondered, had she gotten tired already, or had she gotten softer, definitedly not that, she at least wanted to believe so.

Slipstream turned to the new EMF reading and prepared for a fight that overshadowed a fight against simple drones. She stuck her injured pede behind her, taking out her second wing in order to keep up her defense and offense. As she drew her weapon, Aquila's blade grazed her plating as she jumped back to avoid any heavy damage. This second Seeker was a welcome challenge in her book. "Come face me!" she shouted turning one wing into a reverse grip. Her processor whirred as she thought of how best to combat this glitches obstacle.

Slipstream kept the thruster on her back hot in case she needed a quick escape or to deal a critical blow. She remained in her defensive pose, ready for Aquila to strike. "I shall show you the honor and skill that Commander Dreadwing has instilled into me."

A few kliks passes and Slipstream's patience was wearing thin, waiting for the mech to make a move. "If you won't take action, I will!" The femme lunged forth with both wings raised to strike the glitches Seeker. She winced feeling the pain shoot through her wounded leg after realizing what her impatience brought upon her.
