-Orion-

The Normandy was quickly given the necessary information needed to bring them to the surface, so Vidit, feel free just to have everyone there and in the waiting room your next post, and ready to meet Old Man Sensei. Muhahaha.

Kai was waiting for someone to give him a job as he starred at K.O.

"It doesn't get much boring then this."

He said as he was following with a long sigh.

(Earth has lost contact with the rebellion colonial zone. As for its potential response...well, have your hunter start on a planet in said zone, not Earth, please.)


T.R.S. Normandy

Some time had passed, and dinner had been eaten.

Didymus spoke.

"Alright," he said. "Let's get to Orion."

Orion

They were at Orion's capital, in a waiting room, waiting for their audience with Old Man Sensei. Didymus was clad in full body armor (under his dress uniform, which appearently been recently cleaned, ironed, medals polished, etc.), and had made a request of the Orion security as far as weapons were concerned: in addition to the Republic marines they brought with them, who were outside the waiting room, ready to burst in at the first sound of trouble, Didymus had requested that, if alright, he be allowed to keep his "dress weapons", that is, a pistol, and his cerimonial (but sharp nonetheless) officer's saber. If he was not allowed to carry them in, he would have passed them off to a marine, but if he was, they would be holstered and sheathed as he sat, waiting for Sensei to appear.

Even Sama (if GS is okay with this) was wearing a freshly cleaned uniform complete with a hat.

"They say Old Man Sensei is rather laid-back, and informal, but still, Sama," he said, talking him aside. "You and I wear uniforms, and as such, we should still maintain a professional attitude befitting of officers in the U.T.R.'s military. Make no mistake, that's not to say we can't laugh, or have small talk, or what have you, but try to keep street slang and poor posture to a minimum, and other such things." he hesitated a bit, then finally said. "That's an order."

With that, he sat down again to wait.

T.R.S. Normandy mess hall

Sama leaned back and sighed a bit; he was becoming too transparent. Still....

"I wasn't lying, I've never been to Orion. I used to know someone who was from Orion, that's all."

(That was Sama's answer to Didymus. I'm afraid that's the best you can expect from him for the time being. :p)

[Klove, please do not post in a RP unless you are making an actual In-Character post. OOC with no in-character can go in the sign up thread, okie-dokey?]

Orion

Sama had one of his laid-back smirks on his face. and his posture was currently terrible so there was no surprise when Didymus took him aside and ordered him to behave around Old Man Sensei. He merely smirked back.

"Relax, Colonel. Even I know to behave around the higher-ups. Just like someday, when you get a star pinned to that collar, I'll probably listen to you too ~ but then, we're friends, aren't we?"

Of course, he meant it as a joke. He hadn't quite figured out his new boss well enough to know what his reaction would be, but afterwards his face did become completely serious.

"Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior, sir."

Unknown Transmission

Without warning, a transmission was sent to Bumblebee. On the screen was a mysterious figure who was obviously a robot akin to the transformer himself.

"I know you are searching for Megatron; I can deliver him to you. My price is low given what I offer. If you're interested, then you'll come find me on the planet Orion. Dinobot, out."

(Gah, long time no post :3)

Avalon Space

It was safe to say that all did not go as expected the first encounter with Megatron, perhaps it was because Bumblebee was not the most experienced bot out there (of course he would never admit that)....When a transmisson broke through the semi damaged ship both he and Sari were caught by surprise.

"I know you are searching for Megatron; I can deliver him to you. My price is low given what I offer. If you're interested, then you'll come find me on the planet Orion. Dinobot, out."

"Dinobot?" Sari questioned looking at Bumblebee with a confused expression "Like the Dinobots that came to my dad's company?"

"I think there are a lot more Dinobots out there than those two dunderheads...But I am still....."

"Suspisious?"

"No way! Totally excited! Some dinobot is going to give us Megatron on a silver platter!"

Sari watched the hyper bot wearily, but didn't say anything, instead she waited impatiently for the bot to calm down. When he did so she climbed back on the pilot's seat.

"First off Bee, the dinobot said that we wold have to pay for him....How are we going to do that?" Bumblebee shrugged and picked the girl back up before placing her on his lap so that he could pilot once more.

"I dunno but we'll cross that road when we get to it! To Orion we go!"

(Sorry, GS. I didn't notice that post. That being said, ignore the "answer my question" remarks, as Didymus would have been more or less satisfied with that answer. In fact, I'll edit them out.)

Orion

Didymus, when hearing Sama's joke, actually laughed.

"When I get a star pinned to this collar? You're in my unit now, Sama, and you will listen to me or I will make you..." he grinned. "...clean toilets and take Rachel to dinner on the same night!"

His own look got more serious then.

"Seriously, though, yes, we're friends, and as for getting a star on my collar...that's probably not going to happen for a decade or two, provided I stay in the military that long. My promotions have been rapid, but they'll probably wait till I'm safely past my physical prime before giving me a general's rank. And as for your behavior...good. Now, let's watch out, though. I saw that the rebels had an envoy ship around Orion, too, so we may find ourselves in an idealogical debate soon."

With that, he walked back to a couch and sat down.

(I have been waiting to introduce this guy...Muhahaha.)

-Orion-

"Eh, I wouldn't worry about it," Coop said, plopping down on the couch by Sama and Didymus, "I'm sure we'll be fine!"

Jamie sighed, taking a seat too, while Kiva stood up, shaking her head.

The doors suddenly opened, and a few soldiers of the Rebellion walked forward, taking their positions in the room, akin to the Alliance Marines, though their number was about half.

"So the Alliance sends this rabble rousing group to get Orion to help them...Pathetic..." a female voice sounded out, stepping forward from the doors. She was dressed in a black long sleeved shirt, pants, boots, and a black cape. The girl also had slightly curly reddish-orange hair going to about her shoulders, and cold hazel eyes. She had a belt that held a few items, and on her shoulder were a few medals and decorations. However, she seemed to be lacking a designated rank...Whatever this meant would have to wait till later.

"Doubt you've heard of me though," the girl said with a smirk, "Lexrach is the name."

She opened her mouth to give some sort of insult, when a happy sounding voice cut through her, from among the Alliance Marines.

"And so then I said, that's no wheat stack, that's my wife! Heh, get it?"

Mumblings from the Marines, unsure of whether or not they should laugh, and a small old man stepped out from between them, a large smile on his face. His skin was dark and his head was bald and a little wrinkly. He wore an orangish gi, and simple wooden sandals.

"Hello! It seems as though everyone is here," the odd looking man said, bowing towards the Alliance, then towards the Rebellion. "I am Old Man Sensei. You may call me Old Man, or Sensei for short though."

"Hey Old Man!" Coop shouted, standing up from the couch, and slapping the monk hard on the back, grinning, "What's up!"

An audible silence, as Old Man Sensei grinned brightly, patting Coop's elbow, as he couldn't quite reach his shoulder, "Ahhhh...I sense much spirit in this young man, along with a lot of something else!"

And thus, a sense of normality was restored, as Old Man Sensei stepped forward, and spoke to everyone in the room.

"Representatives of the Earth Alliance and Fornax Rebellion," he began, "As you know, Orion has been remaining neutral throughout this conflict, for the prime reason that we are a food bearing nation, and I wished that neither side suffer from famine or hunger, but I have now seen that this will not help the common man.

"Today is where I shall here from both sides of this war, and bring what I learned to Orion's Council, though between you and me, they trust my option more then anything," the old man chuckled, and placed his palms together.

"This is a peaceful planet, so I ask that you keep all weapons with your band of soldiers. Though if you do smuggle one in, believe me, they won't help you. I may be old, but I am very spry."

Neither Coop, Jamie, nor Kiva had any weapons to give up, but Lexrach sighed, pulling out a small gun, handing it to one of the soldiers, then an odd, gray, cylindrical device, also handing to someone, with a glare that said "If you lose this, I will have your head."

Once everyone was ready to go, Old Man Sensei led them through another room, which was, in fact, an elevator to another floor of the building where the...discussions...could begin.

Orion

Didymus eyed Lexrach, but Sensei came in before he could reply to her.

Slowly, he drew his pistol and saber and handed them off to a Terran Republic marine, with a look that didn't say "I'll have your head if you lose these", but rather, "I am entrusting you with my officer's weapons. Lose them and there will be consequences".

With that, gesturing to the other Republic "delegates", he stepped into the elevator, and spoke up to Sensei.

"Sensei," he said. "thank you for allowing us to come and present our case to you. Governor Boyle apologizes that he isn't here in person, but as you know, these are dangerous times here."

"Oh, do not worry about it. The higher ups tend to be very stuffed shirts about things, and I wouldn't ask them to put themselves at risk. Besides, I also find it better to talk to those not in charge. Gives me a better look at what is actuality then what they say is reality," Old Man Sensei said to Didymus.

(To help speed things up here, just say Sama had a Marine hold any weapons he may have, of any...)

"Tell me young man," Old Man Sensei said to Didymus, "And you, young lady," he looked towards Lexrach, who was trying to not accidentally touch anyone. His face seemed somewhat serious.

"Have either of you heard the Opossum Joke?" he then inquired with a grin, but stopped as the doors dinged, indicating that they were where they needed to be.

The doors opened up and Old Man Sensei stepped forward, revealing a large room. In the middle of it was a circular couch all around a round table.

In a few places here and their were large television screens, and what seemed to be a couple video game systems as well.

"This is conference room for guests. It has many different functions, and the bathroom is through that door and to the left," Old Man Sensei said, and Jamie ran off in that direction, "Here is where both sides shall attempt to sway my choice of which side to choose. Now please, take a seat around the table."

Taking a spot himself, the elderly chap sat comfortably, making sure everyone was comfortable themselves, then asked his first question.

"First, I must ask...Why do you, personally, think Orion should side with you?"

Orion

Didymus, slowly, after sitting down,spoke up.

"Me, personally?" he said. "Well, for one, I believe that the accusations hurled at the United Terran Republic's government by the rebels are inaccurate. The U.T.R. is not the oppressive monster they claim it is. It is corrupt in certain areas, but not so much, at least, in many areas, and what government man has established in the past has ever been perfect? The republic's laws extend basic rights to all mankind, essentially, regardless or ethnicity, faith, gender, etc. People of all ethnicities and pretty much all faiths stood and build our republic together, so I basically think that the rebels are rebelling without sufficient cause to make their rebellion right. Unity, order, and peace is another point I have. As I mentioned, the U.T.R. has been built by men and women, and even children, from pretty much all faiths and ethnicities, working together, working side-by-side. In unity lies strength, and for the past few centuries, humanity has stood strong, united, mostly at least, in the U.T.R. The rebellion threatens to disrupt this unity. Sure, they claim that such competition is good for humanity, but their split could lead to other splits. More and more discord and strife could breed until humanity was split into many different nations across the galaxy, all vying against each other! Where once unity, strength, and peace had been, we would have strife, treachery, and conflict. That is what the rebellion may well be setting in motion-complete with the loss of life that wars raging all over human space would cause."

He paused and took a deep breath, eying both Sensei and Lexrach.

"Well," he said again. "That's some of my bit, at least."

Orion

Sama had handed his only weapon to one of the Marines before following the others. He wasn't quite sure what to think of the newfound Rebel Officer who had joined them, but he took an immediate liking to the Old Man. This guy just gave off a vibe that said he knew how to have fun. Finally, someone who wasn't all business.

In the meeting room, he listened to the conversation, but did not add anything. At least, not for the time being.

Orion -- City Outskirts

Dinobot waited on the outskirts of the City for Bumblebee and his friends; but whether or not the Predacon could be trusted was another matter.

Avalon Space

The trip to Orion was rather uneventfull, both Bumblebee and Sari could only sit back and watch the stars and planets go by until their guidance system led their ship to their desired planet. For Bumblebee this was a good thing, he sat back and waited excitedly until he could claim Megatron as a prisoner for the Autobots, but for Sari this break from the action wasn't as welcome. It was safe to say she was suspisious of it all....But Bumblebee knew what he was doing right?

Orion -- City Outskirts

Finally a small beeping on their intersteller GPS alerted the bot and the human that they arrived....

"Finally!" Bumblebee exclaimed happily. As they hit the ground he gathered Sari in his hands and placed her on his shoulder. The girl clinged to his neck and the two made their way out. Because they knew previously that the bot they would meet was in fact a Dinobot it wasn't hard to spot him.

"Are you the one who sent us the messege about....Well you know" Bumblebee asked, not sure if he should mention Megatron, just in case. From Bee's shoulder Sari watched wearily.

Orion -- City Outskirts

In his hissing voice, Dinobot replied: "Yes, I am the one."

The raptor stepped forward and growled a bit, but he didn't make any overly hostile movements. Instead he rapped his claws on a nearby tree, apparently thinking.

"Megatron is in that city." Dinobot finally revealed, pointing his clawed hand towards the city. "In the sewers. I should tell you two things. One, he's not alone -- there's a small army down there, plotting an assassination. Second, he's got a new body, having been rebuilt."

Dinobot paused. "... We'll discuss my payment later. If you intent to go after Megatron, then I'll led you there -- but you should be forewarned, it will be... dangerous." A sinister smirk crossed his lips on that note.

Could it be a trap? Possible. Was Dinobot using them for his own purposes? Probably.

Orion -- City Outskirts

"Danger, hah, i've been in worse danger before!" Bumblebee gloated thumping his chestplate and smile broadly. It was true that he had been in many dangerous stations before but it may have been a slight exageration to brush this one off like it was nothing. "Lets go!" he decided excitedly, with every intention on following the Dino wherever as long as it led to Megatron!

The bots back home would be so jelous!

Sari on the other hand still wasn't quite convinced. Having been a prisoner of three rouge Dinobot in the past she wasn't sure his intentions were true....Of course, what proof did she have against him, he seemed....Well he didn't seem innocent...But he didn't seem guilty.

From Bumblebee's shoulder as they walked Sari finally decided to speak. "So...Dinobot....What is your price anyways?"

"Does it really matter, I mean i'm sure the Elite guard will pay up whatever when we bag Megatron!"
