Autobot Standard Troops #5044 rush up to Ultra Magnus. The squad commander steps forward and says, "What do you need us to do now, Ultra Magnus?" Ultra Magnussmiles toward the commander and looks about the vacat lot on the edge of the bay. "Excellent work Autobots. Just maintain watch to make sure no Decepticons come to spoil the ceremony." Obsidian smiles "Hiya" Ultra Magnus turns and faces everyone present, "Greetings, everyone. Care to take the Typhoon on a test run?" Winged Velociraptor says, "Sure thing!" Syke shifts from her creature mode back up into her angelic Robot mode. Ultra Magnus smiles and says, "Autobot engineers have completed construction of the submarine....we need only to transport it from the Landing Pad." Obsidian hmms "The Typhoon?" Ultra Magnus sends a radio transmission. Deafning whines of engines can be heard from within Autobot City. From the Landing Pad rise several large air transports. Thick tether cables are connected from each transport to a long, sleek vehichle being held in tow. Ultra Magnus nods his head toward Obsidian and motions toward the transport ships. Obsidian smiles "How cool" Whiteline hmmmms.. Whiteline abruptly turns and walks away. The helicoptors slowly begin to move forward, their cargo swinging slightly from side to side. Ultra Magnus looks toward Whiteline and says, "Leaving already, Whiteline?" Whiteline spins back around and shrugs, "This is Autobot work. No need for me to be around." Ultra Magnus's optics flash momentarily as he says, "You are more than welcome to come along for the undersea ride, if you would like." Whiteline hmmms, "No, no, couldn't put you out like that. Have fun on your.. journey.. or whatever. Goodbye." Ultra Magnus frowns slightly toward Whiteline. "Well, if that is what you wish...." Obsidian heads over to Whiteline and smiles "Why you always so glum? Join in the fun.." Whiteline hmmms, "I'm not glum, and that is what I wish, Mr. Magnus, even if I did want to go under the sea or whatever." Ultra Magnus smiles warmly as his optics glow a cool blue, "Whiteline, if you would like to come along on the trip, by all means, please do not feel any reservations against doing so. I would personally enjoy your company, as I am sure many others would." Obsidian grins "Yeah...see the sights!" Whiteline smirks, "Why would you enjoy the company of moi? I'd most likely stand there silently." Ultra Magnus says calmly, "Would you enjoy taking a look at the ocean depths? If so, that's all that is needed...you are certainly welcome to join us." Whiteline's optics turn a slightly cold, light blue, "But.. under all that water.. What if it fell apart... The pressure.. Wouldn't it. kinda.. crush me, all of us?" Obsidian chuckles "You gotta trust the engineers" Ultra Magnus chuckles with a deep laugh and says amusingly, "Not at all, Whiteline. Appropriate measures have been taken in the fine construction of this vessel." Whiteline's optics narrow, "Trust is earned. My trust has been betrayed too many times. But I'll take you up on your offer, though." While everyone continues their dicussion, the air transports continue to slowly move forward, hauling their cargo slowly toward the edge of the vacat area cleared by the Autobto Troops. Ultra Magnus smiles with elation, "Glad to hear it! I hpoe you enjoy it!" Autobot Standard Troops #5044 wave their arms as they help direct the transport pilots to the appropriate position on the iron pilings upon the ground. Whiteline's optics narrow, "We'll see if I enjoy it or not.." Ultra Magnus smirks toward Whiteline as he slowly turns around. He slowly peers his optics toward the massive craft being hauled through the air above. Orange Hawg comes in from Death Valley. Orange Hawg wanders in, looking around absent-mindedly. Orange Hawg rumbles into the area, backfiring and leaving a small trail of motorbike parts. Panther enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the east. Panther comes in optics taking in every thing in sight. Orange Hawg honks. "A-ooooooga!" With absolute precision and expertise, the transports lower their altitude to move the gargantuan vessel toward the ground. The Autobot Troops gather around the edges of the pilings, all lined up in order to assist in the correct positioning of the vessel. ---------------------LOG ENDS - STATISTICS----------------
