Nightmares and Monsters

Part 19

Key

/"speech"\ = Radio Chatter

Previously in Chapter 18:

"Let's just head back ta Base fer a few hours of recharge, alright Prime, ah know ya need some and ah do too." I added with a stretch and a yawn that was wide enough to make my jaw crack. I smirked when I saw Jazz's mode twitch at the noise.

And now onto Chapter 19

Meanwhile whilst Cali was heading back to her Base in New Jersey, Anubis was keeping track of everything that was going on over the radio frequencies used by the Military.

/"Conn, Sonar. Gained new contact, bearing 214, and possible hostile, confirmed for Project Deep Six Drop Point."\ Conn Operator.

/"What do you got?"\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"SU pulled five contacts at 5,000 feet, diving fast. Never seen anything dive that deep that fast."\ Conn Opperator

/"Man battle stations. Chief of the watch, man battle stations! Helm, left full rudder, all ahead two-thirds."\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"Left full rudder, two-thirds."\ Helm Operator

/"Dive, go deep."\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"The nets protecting NBE One are screaming, sir."\ Conn Operator

/"That is 9,300 fathoms down. And no confirmed DSRVs on site?"\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"None, sir."\ Conn Operator

/"Then, people, we've got a problem!"\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"Conn, Sonar. Now hold six contacts, and they're coming up fast!"\ Conn Operator

/"Sound collision alarm. Left hard rudder. Five hundred feet. Angel Six, we got six hostiles coming up."\ Executive Officer (SiC)

/"Collision imminent port side."\ Conn Operator

/"One hundred feet."\ Helm Operator

Anubis kept a record of the conversation that had just happened and waited until Cali was awake before giving her the news he knew she didn't want to hear, the Mech known as 'Megatron' was back and after those who had destroyed him before in the Battle of Mission City.

Cali POV:

After arriving back at my Base, I looked to see that Anubis had gone into a recharge - poor bot was probably exhausted from all the work he has been doing for myself, such as keeping a link open to our Guardian Jazz so that he knows where we're at etc.

Once I walked into the hanger, I was shocked to see so many soldiers hustling around trying to find answers to the following information:

"Major, incoming SOS from Autobots!" came the voice of one of the Techies - Jacobs I think it was. "Multiple Decepticon contacts in motion. Vicinity, eastern United States, sir!"

"As in how many?" came Lennox's response as he walked over to check the screen and I followed close behind him also wondering what was going on.

"Unclear, sir." Came Jacobs' response with a slight cringe that he knew that was not what any of the higher-ups wanted to hear.

"Well, get clear." Came the sharp response from Lennox. I myself was wondering why I couldn't make out any of the other 'bots on Base except Jazz and Anubis. One thing that the Cube had done to me and I hoped that the Autobots never figured it out was that I could sense their Energy Signals if they were within 10 miles of me. I just hoped that it hadn't done anything else to me, or I would have a hard time keeping my job if any of the Government Stooges found out about it. I really had no interest in becoming a 'Lab Rat' of any kind, Ratchet not withstanding.

"The Autobots are on the move, splitting into two teams, sir. They're not answering our calls and they're heading to New York and Philadelphia." Came Jacobs' voice as he watched the group split in to their respective teams, and as I watched I just knew that those who were currently hauling Aft to Philadelphia were heading to get to Sam, which meant that Prime was there in the lead and that something bad was happening to Sam.

"All right, full weapons deployment. Wheels up in 20 minutes! Move it! Let's go!" came Lennox's voice loud and clear as he turned and headed towards the door of the Hanger and towards his room to grab his gear.

Running to catch up with him, I grabbed his arm and stopped him before stating, "I'm goin' wit' Jazz and Anubis ta see if we can catch up ta Prime and his group befer somethin' goes FUBAR. We can get there quicker den you guys - Jazz is da fastest thing here right now and time is most definitely of the essence. Ah'll see ya's all soon though. Stay safe!"

With a nod of his head in understanding Lennox clapped me on the shoulder and headed back in his original direction to his rooms whilst I ran to get in Jazz's Alternate Mode and haul aft ta catch up to a stubborn Prime and his group. I just hoped we would make it in time.
