1062/Battleground: Ruins of Harmonex 3 - 4

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock was set up in the Harmonex defence outpost, she was watching the monitors for any sign of activity form the decepticons, given the information the intel department had passed to them... Normally Ruins wouldn't be on anyone's radar, decepticons included, however given the ruins location to the Sonic canyons, Vos, and Tarn, it would definitely be a bit of an issue if it fell to the opposite factions hands.

      When the bases alarms went off, Starlock reached for the controls and deployed a set of the drones from their station and clicked on her commlink. "<<Right, here they come.>>" She'd state, wanting to add more, but found herself not comfortable stating such. "<<Ensure you're all in position.>>"

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl is out here because there's a chance for a fight! And because Starlock is here and he likes Starlock almost as much as he likes the chance to hurt the deserving. The sound of the alarms going off is almost music to his ears. Or the dinner bell to a hungry sharkticon. <<In position, locked, loaded and ready to rock!>> he says. <<Let's do this!>>

**Shockwave has posed:**
    It's another one of those rare times when Shockwave is not holed up in his lab. But if he's not holed up in his lab, it usually means he's been ordered onto the battlefield, to lead a bunch of troops into war against the Autobots, many of whom will probably die. Good thing most of them are inconsequential.

    At any rate he comes flying in amongst the aerial forces. He was scanning, assessing the situation when Whirl came at him like a maniac. The Decepticon scientist is sent careening for a few moments before he regains his composure. Hmph, by his calculations, it seems Command has not sent an attack force strong enough to fell the Bots' defenses here. Still, he'll have to at least make it -look- like he made some kind of effort.

    Focusing on Whirl, he flies after the rotary and fires his forward cannon, a purple beam lancing through the air. "You will regret that unwise manevuer, Autobot." he states.

**Starlock has posed:**
     "<<Understood si--Smelt!>>" Starlock's would exclaim as she saw Whirl being struck by Shockwave. She'd quickly flip open her forearm panel to check on his readouts and virtals. She'd flip the controls on the turret she was on and took aim at the Purple cyclops.

      "<<Waatch yourself Whirl... Also, if you're in need of a refuel, do not hesitate to say something, I have an auxiliary tank.>>" She'd report to her team mate, before firing at the Decepticon.

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl is hit by the flying purple people cannon. A most palpable hit! Seriously palpable, right down in the bits! <<Yeow! <REDACTED!> I'ma tear his optic out and feed it to him!>> he snarls, transforming to his gyrojet mode and taking to the skies. "C'mon you one-eyed freak!" he growls. "You want a piece of me?! Come get some!"

**Shockwave has posed:**
    Quite the insult Whirl has thrown there, given Shockwave isn't the only mech out here with only one optic. However he's not one to entertain Autobots with 'comebacks'. Well, at least not a verbal one. Instead, he banks sharply, avoiding the cannon, before retaliating once more, although he does get clipped by the base's defense turrets.

    He -did- tell the maniacal Autobot that he would regret that brazen move...

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock glances down once more when she hears Whirl's readouts signal he's been struck again, keeping an eye on the status bar that is being whittled away, she then glanced to the defences energon levels, She grunted out as she wanted to tell him to be careful, but that really wasn't an option right now. She would nod to herself and took aim again. "<<Status Whirl?>>"

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl swears, loud, long and quite profanely as his shot misses Shockwave. He lays on the speed, charging after Shockwave to make another attempt at dropping the Decepticon scientist. Of course, the problem with chasing after Shockwave is that Whirl ends up closing the distance between them, making himself an easier target to hit. "Slag!" he yells as he's hit. <<Hit! I am hit! And I am gonna tear his freakin' head off and..>> Whirl proceeds to go into further detail about exactly what he's going to do to Shockwae, complete with the actual correct anatomical terminology.

**Shockwave has posed:**
    Shockwave was done being pestered by this annoying Autobot, but as he turns to try to focus on destroying the defenses, Whirl nails him in the rear engines, sending him spiraling to the ground. Then, a marauder turret capitalizes on the opportunity and blast him again.

    His HUDs screaming, the scientist decides this fight is no longer worth wasting energon on. << Decepticons, retreat and regroup. >> he commands over the comms, and starts flying off, followed by the rest of the assault force.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock vents out a sigh of relief once Shockwave retreats with his small group, and nods to herself, there was a temptation to take a pot shot, but.. No, she decides against it, she's not the petty, least at the moment. She then pushing herself up and out of the defence turret, and starts to make her way down to Whirl, as well as to other injured on the field, also ensuring those there capable made sure the area was secure.

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl is going to be unbearable. He's helped chase Shockwave off. He helped chase Shockwave off! "Yeah!" he yells as Shockwave retreats. "You better run, you stinkin' 'Cons! Run on back to Megatron and tell him that today was just a taste of what you're gonna get from us!"

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock stares at Whirl and cringes behind her battlemask upon hearing Whirl's words and glanced away. Oooh that was going to come back to bite them in the aft.... "<<Riiight.. Whirl, lets get you and the rest of the injured prepped and moved to the medical bay.>>"

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl is flying high -- quite literally, in fact. He's swooping and diving and just generally having a hell of a good time celebrating the Autobot victory. <<What? nahhh! I'm fine! I'm fine!>> He goes into a spin, just to show how fine he is.

**Whirl has posed:**
Whirl's roll does not succeed. Halfway through it, he stalls and starts to fall, recovering just enough to transform and hit the ground on his feet, rather than augering in like a brick in a hurricane.

**Starlock has posed:**
     Starlock watches as Whirl.. Whirls, and slaps her hand over her face and lets out a long-suffering sigh, and moved to stabilize him, and get him transferred back to the Repair bay.
