[RETCON: MAJOR CHANGES]

[bw_waspy]

[By this point, Waspy hasn't seen Forte likely since the storm tag game, isn't fere with him, and wouldn't really give a slag if he got scrapped... so he wouldn't go looking for him or bring him to put him in CR.
The Maximals showing up would have still happened, but Waspy would still not be a reploid, and Forte would not be present at all]

*Waspinator teleported back into his cave and rushed to the rebuilt CR, too frightened to be more than faintly thankful that he was no longer slowed down by teleport-related vertigo*

*quietly* Please be ok, Friend-bot... *places Forte in the CR gently*

*floats inside the CR, still unconscious, hair drifting in lazy patterns as bits of dirt and gunk slowly separate from his body and disappear into the CR fluid* *will likely need quite a bit of time to recover, considering how beat up he is, but was never in danger of dying*

[bw_waspy]

*was only aware that the injuries looked very bad, and refuses to leave his spot beside the CR, sitting on the dirt floor of the cave.. eventually the stress makes him tired, and he dozes off beside the CR, tears drying on his cheeks...*

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

Several hours passed, and eventually Forte emerged from the CR, healed... but not looking happy at all.

*glances at the sleeping Waspy, but doesn't wake him* *doesn't leave, either, choosing instead to sit down in a corner of the cave and glare sullenly at a rock*

[bw_waspy]

*seems to be having a nightmare... after a bit he jerks awake, rubs at his face and hurridly checks the CR before looking around the room... sees Forte and sighs, looking relieved... he goes over to sit beside him, rubbing slightly at his face and wondering why it feels odd*

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

*glances at Waspinator* *grouchily* I didn't need help. *no real bite in his gruffness, but isn't about to admit to how badly Lumine beat him up - and he COULD have recovered on his own... eventually...*

[bw_waspy]

*looks down* Waspinator would help anyway... should know that by now...

*quietly* Waspinator was worried... Waspinator cannot help that...

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

Hmph. *folds his arms and continues to glare at the rock... imagining it with Lumine's face* *kicks it viciously* *doesn't want to accept Waspinator's concern right now, feeling vulnerable enough as it is... but doesn't want to go anywhere else, either* *is silent*

[bw_waspy]

*pats Forte comfortingly on a sholder and switches the topic* Waspinator... might stay like this... instead of changing back...

Was planning on target practice, to get used to differences...

[bw_waspy]

*suddenly warning alarms from the Predacon computer go off*

Maximal Energy Signature Detected

*Waspinator is on his feet in a second, rushing over.* Identify!

Maximal Unit Rattrap detected in Sages Nexus

*There's a pause*

Predacon Unit Megatron detected in Sages Nexus

Maximal Unit Tigatron detected in Sages Nexus

Maximal Unit Airrazor detected in Sages Nexus

*Waspinator starts to back away from the computer* No... no no no...

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

*stirs a little from his black mood* ...what's wrong?

[bw_waspy]

Computer detects Maximal signatures... Rat-bot went back to Cybertron.. and Tiger and Bird-girl both dead, long ago...

Also reading Megatron there... should not be... Maximals took him with them when they left... Council would have killed him...

*the computer continused to display warnings as Waspinator goes over to the weapons racks, checking for weapons small enough to use in this form, and wishing he'd already found a way to carry extra ammo clips for his toxin rifle*

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

*is having a hard time making himself care... partly because he isn't trying to care* So? Not like they can hurt anyone in the Nexus. No violence without consent. *scowls* It's only outside the Nexus that it's a problem.

[bw_waspy]

This cave isn't inside of Nexus, Forte... and if they detect Waspinator's energy signature...

*he goes to the keyboard of the computer, bringing up security systems he's never had to use before now... he's shaking slightly*

Waspinator hates Maximals... should not have come back...

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

*growls* If they try to come here, there won't be enough left of them for the CR to fix them. *is NOT about to have his one sanctuary (away from his home) to be invaded, not without a fight*

[bw_waspy]

Maybe will not find out... could not be near computer, Waspinator hopes, or not know Waspinator is still here...

Computer detected Megatron too. Was Predacon leader... *wary look* Rex-bot would not be happy with how Waspinator is now...

Waspinator hoped to never see Maximals ever again...

[mega-cartoon.livejournal.com]

Waspinator, they're not here. Not yet, maybe not ever, so unless you want to go out and find them, you might ever have to see them again, anyway. =P

[bw_waspy]

*starts to calm down, goes over to computer and resets it so alarm goes off and will only go off again if Maximals are actually in the surrounding areas* Waspinator is sorry, Forte... Is shock, maybe...

*looks to computer* Waspinator should probably contact Megatron.. but... *thinks about this, frowns a lil* Megatron would try to mess with timeline again, would try to drag Waspinator into it... stupid Rex-bot... Crab-bot said plan wouldn't even have worked and Rex-bot's war got Terrorsaur killed... *sits back down next to Forte, in a sulky mood himself now*

Megatron can go slag himself...

[lavender-wings.livejournal.com]

*looks into the wasp cave, having caught the tail end of the conversation*

Hey now, is that a way to talk about one's leader? *winks*

I'd say stay cautious, but don't freak out just yet. Perhaps the Maximals will think they have better things to do than go after a single Predacon who doesn't look like much of a threat in his current state - no offence...

*to Forte* Greetings. We do tend to meet under bad circumstances, don't we?

((I'm assuming the alarm/security systems wouldn't be set off by her since she's got a Decepticon energy signature, not a Maximal one.))

*drives up to the cave, intending to drop by for a visit, when she accidentally sets off one of the security defences and an auto-gun pops out of the floor*

O.o Um, Waspin'?...

[bw_waspy]

*looks embarrased* Sorry... computer probably is confused... Kaci does not scan like a Transformer... *corrects the computer on the matter and the autogun retracts*

[kaci-celica.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* No, guess I don't do I? :) It's okay.

QUOTE: "*corrects the computer on the matter and the autogun retracts*"

Phew! Thanks, Waspin'. So um... what's with all the panic? o.o Are you okay?

[bw_waspy]

*pats Kaci on the hood* Computer detected energy signatures... one is Predacon... three Maximal.

*he is quiet for a bit, as if trying to remember names... it seems to come easier to him now than it did only a few weeks ago* Rattrap, Tigatron, Airazor.. and Megatron...

Waspinator does not want to see any of them again...

[kaci-celica.livejournal.com]

*realization dawns*

Oh, I see. This is about all the stuff that's been happenin' at the Nexus, right? Don't worry-- they haven't found their way over here yet, and I have a suspicion they probably won't. You're perfectly safe. :)

[bw_waspy]

*faint smile* Waspinator knows Maximals are not here yet... but... is still best to have security system running now.

Waspinator never use it before... was no reason...

[kaci-celica.livejournal.com]

True. You've got friends who'll be prepared to back ya up if the need arises though. You know that, don'tcha? ;)

*glances at Forte and Steadfast*
