Gazing at the plan currently in action, Rastun feels pleased that one obstacle is out of the way. Inferno and Waspinator are less pleased as they scurry about, dodging numerous laser fire and ensuing explosions, but it was all for a greater good. He had a feeling they'll worm their way out anyway.

"So, that's done. What next? Do we go after Sideways now while all of that is going on?"

"I was really hoping they'd fight each other since the swarm was targeting this ship and I remind you this thing isn't something we can take with us when we start dimension hopping after Sideways." Brainwave lamented.

"Well if we can't take the ship with us and need a decoy to keep the swarm from chasing us why not simply wake the crew and let them have their ship back?" Suggested Megatron.

"I was going to say that could horribly mess up the power balance in whatever conflict they're involved in but I don't really care. Let's wake them up, rescue the idiots, and finally get this show on the road. The sooner we deal with Sideways the better I will feel."

"I honestly don't have any better options to suggest and I want this ordeal done as much as you two do, so let's go ahead with waking them up then. I'm sure they'll be grateful for their new upgrades and 'friends'," Rastun responds.

Mars Surface

Mikhail flinched upon hearing an explosion go off the distance while hearing nothing but noise from the nearby comm.
'What the hell is going on, did someone get attacked? Is that why comms aren't working? I'll head back to the hangar, I'll be a sitting duck if they cross over here' Mikhail swiftly about faced and headed back towards the Delta.
'If they don't head this way it won't be a problem but better safe than sorry' Mikhail ducked low during his run hoping to avoid catching the attention of anyone deciding to fly pass at that moment.

The Delta flew up near the site of the Hystrion assault & rescued the occupant of the ill fated lander.

"Kool aid man this kool aid man that jeez" Lance grumbled pulling the unconscious crew out of their quarters

"Can't believe none of them other dicks will help me"

"Come now brother Sugarstorm drugging them in the first place was your task"

"Uggggggggh."

Heinrad was asleep as well as he drank the kool aid too
