124/They Never Look Up

**Blurr has posed:**
After having seen footage of the explosion near Starscream's habsuite on the news, Blurr is quick to take advantage of the damage that was done to the structure. Starscream doesn't know that the speedster knows the location of the residence, does he? Not as far as Blurr knows.

    So he has made use of that broken window and slipped inside, taking cover behind a row of fancy mirrors (imagine that), though they have been cracked in several places due to the force of the blast. Scanning the area, he searches for a terminal, communicube, or anything else that might contain useful intel.

**Sunstorm has posed:**
Sunstorm has been assisting with the relocation of the 'stolen' Academy, so he has been in and around the area running priority missions. He makes his way back through Vos in tetrajet mode. While he's in close proximity of Starscream's posh suite, he's been avoiding dropping in randomly ever since he was caught lounging in the parlor by Starscream himself.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream just has not had a good cycle. Well it started out good, he killed the traiterous headmaster to the flight academy but then getting a bomb delivered to him from someone unknown was not good. He makes a mental note to track down Swivel and find out just who 'hired' her to bring that package.

Tired and sore the Air Commander has retreated back into his recharge room -- his bedroom if you will for some rest and to gather his thoughts before he makes arrangements to have his habisuite repaired. He leans back on his recharge table which is a custom job all soft and comfy, and sips some highgrade energon. He has no idea that his place just got broke into right now. Oh dear.

**Blurr has posed:**
The scans reveal two things: There is a terminal on a large table near the seating area at the center of the room, and Starscream, while not in this room in particular, is in fact on the premises at the moment. Scrap. Would've been better if he hadn't been there. There are lots of expensive things in here, of course nothing any more fancy than Blurr's own accommodations in Iacon or Ibex, so he's not exactly inclined to steal for money. No, he has his optics on that terminal.

    He scans again, making sure that there is no one in the room and no one peering from the hallway, before he makes a move, darting out from behind the mirrors and moving to attempt to acces the terminal on the table.

**Sunstorm has posed:**
Right around the time Blurr's making his move to access the table terminal, a call comes in for Starscream. "<< Commander, are you in? This is Sunstorm. I wished to inform you that the academy is now moved to the new location. >>"

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream is looking at some of the repair work the tech did on him as he sips his energon. Not a bad job really he thinks as he ponders going into a recharge mode when suddenly Sunstorm happens. A wing twitches and he anwers his comm <<Stop by, Sunstorm, I wish to speak with you. I will inform the drone to let you in.>> He snaps off the comm and then hits a small intercom on a table by his recharge birth, "Sunstorm is on his way, let him in and bring him back here when he arrives." he snaps off the intercom and takes a sip of his energex.

**Blurr has posed:**
Blurr hears Startscream talking to a drone, informing it at Sunstorm has arrived. Scrap, one more person to worry about noticing him. He quickly begins attempting to access the terminal. Hopefully the seeker has been careless lately and he won't need to do much hacking.

**Sunstorm has posed:**
The orange tetrajet rerouts up toward Starscream's residence, then transforms to root mode and walks up to the door, which is opened by one of Starscream's personal drones. Sunstorm steps inside. "Thank you for allowing me a visit," he says humbly. He's been eating a lot of humble pie lately, mostly because he has reason to want to stay in Starscream's good graces and not end up on his...nono list.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream hears the Seeker land and come in right about the time the alarm systems goes off on his computer system. He startles off the recharge birth and slams the comm open. "How many times have I told you NOT to touch the terminals, drone!" Yes he thinks it was his servent drone that cause the breech to his main computer systems. He vents some out of of his fan vents and decides to go out and inspect the terminal in the living room himself. "Just can't get good help these days at all." he mutters to himself as he walks out of his room.

**Blurr has posed:**
Blurr tries to out-maneuver the encryption and gain access to files at the same time but he just isn't much of a hacker and ends up setting off the alarm. He curses inwardly, glancing wildly about for somewhere to hide...

    He scrambles up some shelves and ends up hanging on to some conduits or rafters in the ceiling. They never think to look up, do they? Right?

**Sunstorm has posed:**
Sunstorm hasn't seen anything, but of course it's obvious that something's going awry with the computer systems. "Commander, what's wrong with your computer?? ...Anyhow, I just wanted to give you the excellent news that everything of use for the new Academy has been transferred to the proper location."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream hits the reset on the computer terminal seemingly ignoring Sunstorm but he did hear him. Then he turns to the drone and says, "What were you trying to do?" the drone replies that it didn't touch the computer terminal which makes the Seeker frown a bit. Then he waves a dissmissive hand. "See that the window is fixed now." he can't beleive there aren't mechs there replacing it already. He turns to Sunstorm. "Good job, Sunstorm. Have you put the graduates through their paces yet? I am curious how Windcry 'tests' out."

**Blurr has posed:**
As Blurr is hiding up there in the ceiling, bracing himself against a couple of rafters and maybe a light fixture or two, he overhears something interesting. 'New academy'? He does recall hearing about a terrorist attack by Starscream at the flight academy here. But what about this 'proper location'? What was this, some kind of new terrorist training ground, where they've forced the students to join their cause? The Autobot's circuits twist and churn in disgust at the thought, and he resists the urge to just ambush Starscream on the spot and attempt to either arrest him once more or better yet murder him right then and there.

**Sunstorm has posed:**
"Yes, Commander, and they perform extremely well in regards to basic flight dynamics, strategic evasion, and the like," Sunstorm muses as he strolls around a bit, heating up the room slowly with his radiation leak. "What is bothersome is that while they have a lot of potential, many of their maneuvers are...predictable. This could be from the substandard instruction they received, coupled with the fact that they are young and have not yet seen much actual field time to put some theories into practice."

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream looks around his living room and frowns. Something doesn't seem right. He sits down in front of the computer terminal and starts keying in some commands as Sunstorm continues his verbal report as it were. "That is... understandable." he says finally sounding a bit preoccupied. "I can see to it that predictibility of their technique is taken care of..." he stops and reads something on the computer screen and then stands up. "Someone.." he holds his finger up to his mouth toward Sunstorm indicating for silence. Then he tight beams << Somethings going on. This computer was tampered with actually right as you arrived. Did you see anything odd in here when y ou came in?>>

**Blurr has posed:**
Slag it. Blurr watches as Starscream is about to be onto him. He glances back and forth between the two seekers and the broken window behind those mirrors on the other side of the room several times. No way he can get out of there without them seeing him. Outnumbered 2 to 1. This isn't good.

    ...He needs a distraction.

    Yeah, he could use the stun weapon, but he couldn't hit them both at the same time. Well, he could hit one of them and then hope that keeps the other occupied long enough for him to dash to the window and jump out.

    Quickly and as quietly as possible he begins to adjust his position so that he can get a clear shot at Starscream standing near the terminal--he can't afford to miss this one.

**Sunstorm has posed:**
Sunstorm glances over at Starscream, and obliges him by moving the conversation to tightbeam. "<< I've seen nothing amiss, save for the computer, Commander, >>" he says. When Starscream becomes paranoid, sometimes he can act strange. He's known Starscream long enough to know that for a fact. "<< I will check the landing for intruders or signs of activity, >>" he tells Starscream, heading out the front door so he can focus his attention on the area most used by travelers. Perhaps if he finds nothing at all, that will set Starscream's mind at ease. Perhaps.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream nods vaguely at the yellow seeker as the mech turns to walk out. He looks around the room again and slowly heads over toward the window. "And you've seen nothing out of the orignary, drone?" he asks beginning to wonder if his paranoia is getting the better part of him. I mean seriously, who could get in here so fast, right?

**Blurr has posed:**
Oh, good. Sunstorm is leaving. Blurr waits until the other seeker has left the room, then draws the TechVolt as soon as he's in position to fire directly at Starscream. As soon as the shot is off, he bolts for the window, smashing through the row of mirrors in his attempt to get out before the Decepticon can attack him.

    Well anyway Starscream is about to get the answer to his question.

**Starscream has posed:**
Starscream gets shot! He crashes to the floor incapacitated but online enough to see a blurr of, was that blue? HAH his paranoia was right! Oh now he's mad but all he can do is faceplant into the floor.

**Blurr has posed:**
Now Blurr just can't help taunting Starscream just a little bit once he sees that the shot has connected and successfully incapacitated him. "Nice place," he comments as he climbs out the window. "Not nicer than mine, though." And then he's gone.
