Northeast States
States in this area include:Marland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
The original thirteen colonies, this area has always been known as the spiritual background of the United States. Many large Metropolitan areas are located here including the nation capital Washington D.C., and probsbly the most weel known American city New York. These two cities are the most influential in international politica and house many visiting dignitaries including the United Nations. Come fall this area gets more than its fair share of tourists because of the beautiful changes the flora and fauna go through during this chilly time of year.

Fort Maximus says, "Greetings, we break in on normal news broadcasting with this brief report... after the robots whom called themselves 'Decepticons' had taken such an interest in the Arsenic dump in the Adirondacs, this individual robot, whom appears to be an 'Autobot'" a picture of Fort Max is shown, "Has now shown up as if to investigate. He has remained passive in the search thusfar, however we here have to wonder if that will remain true.""
Fort Maximus is trudging his way along the side of Interstate 90, causing a traffic jam from the rubberneckers as he makes his way towards the location of the former arsenic dump.
Nyah Hunt is at the truck stop, bandaged up from her ordeal with the Decepticons. She has a large duffle bag in her arms, and she looks at the tv news inside. She frowns, and lets out a quiet sigh.
Fort Maximus scans around quietly and comes to a stop, he gazes across the road as he see's the Truckstop that was in the news report, "I believe for the moment I will have to take up residence there." he glances around as the traffic is thick and sighs, "Now... to cross the road without injuring any humans."
Nyah Hunt turns her head to look out the window. She's got a small plush figure in her arms..A familiar purple Decepticon. She wonders what the heck she's getting herself into. Better yet got herself into from the start. She lets out a deep sigh, and leans her head against the glass of the Burger King.
Fort Maximus eyes the center area of the road... it's big enough for him. Knowing the break in the traffic won't come he hunches down and executes a jump... it's not a very difficult one even for his size, he lands and causes a slight rumble in the ground, he stands in the middle now, waiting to make the next jump.
Nyah Hunt feels the vibration in the glass, and she becomes startled. She looks to see if it's a truck that passed..Well many passed from that time she's been here, and soon she sees the 25ft Fortress Maximus. She frowns again..and pulls the plushy closer to her. Soon she slides out of her booth grabbing hold of the duffle bag she came with. She straps the plushie to the back of the bag tightly, and makes her way out..she wants to be far from this truckstop.
Fort Maximus jumps over the second set of lanes and walks across the parkinglot of the Truck Stop, heading towards an area to the east, a large grassy open area that he can settle into in defense base mode...
Nyah Hunt is going in that general direction of the grassy open. Towards the tree covered forest. She acks loudly, and then grunts as her leg starts to hurt. She rubs it, and grumbles quietly..The hurting human should be easily noticed by Fortress Maximus.
Fort Maximus pauses and swivels his head slightly, he crouches down and looks at Nyah, "Do you require medical assistance, human?"
Nyah Hunt moves back from Fortress Maximus, and she shakes her head, "No I'm fine. Really. I'm just fine" She rubs her bandaged leg, and keeps on moving away from him.
Fort Maximus sighs, "Your limb is wrapped with an external leak control device... you are injured and your systems are not at functionality. I can assist..."
Nyah Hunt stops, and she frowns, "I already saw a doctor. I've already been taken care of. It takes time for us to get better." She groans and has told this story before many more times before.
Fort Maximus says, "I am aware of the time factor in the organic healing process. However you are in pain, I can ease it and allow you to function better while your systems restore themselves."
Nyah Hunt bends down to rub her leg, and her chains become lose..The two sliding out from her shirt, and she says, "I don't want your medication. It's time for me to take my pain killers again anyhows." She drops her bag on the ground, and goes into a small compartment. She gets an amber bottle filled with wonderful painkillers..little less neatly cut than normal human made pills. She takes one of them, and then gets a small bottle of water. She chugs it down, and then wipes her face, "There. Pain will be gone for now."
Fort Maximus's optics narrow sharply and he stands, he saw the two chains, he turns and stares straight ahead, "So... that is his game is it..."
Nyah Hunt raises an eye ridge, "Game? Who's game?" She's confused, or works on being confused.
Fort Maximus stares off towards the forest, "You are in grave danger, terran. Shockwave is not what he seems."
Nyah Hunt rubs her head, and she ums, "Shockwave? Who's that? I found that piece of scrap metal on the ground..An old battlefield."
Fort Maximus turns his head and looks down at the terran, "Explain the object attached to your bag? It is a likeness of the decepticon commander. Terran, your involvement with the Decepticon Empire will put you in grave danger."
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Cyclonus, I want you to investigate the Autobot sighting in New York State. Remove it by any means you see fit."
<Decepticon> Cyclonus says,
"I shall attempt to, and will report with the results."
Nyah Hunt shakes her head, "Not like he's been in numbers of news papers or news magazines. I'm an artist..I made the thing." She works on trying to lie her way out of this..She shrugs, "Either way. Everything would be a grave danger to me."
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "I also want for you to locate our human ally..She is not among us."
Fort Maximus shakes his head, "I hope that is true, terran. However why you would hold an interest in Shockwave, whom seeks to control this world and it's resources for his own purposes is beyond my processors capacity. I would advise if you are telling the truth that you not broadcast so clearly these symbols, as it could attract his troops to you." he starts walking away, "If you change your mind on treatment, you can find me here for the next few days, I can help you greatly."
<Decepticon> Cyclonus says, "I shall do so."
Nyah Hunt raises an eye ridge, and she looks around to the other humans, "You think they really care as to what I happen to own? And just who it happens to be? There's more than enough humans here. Who knows some others might hold an interest in this Shockwave fella. And the way you paint him..he sounds like every politican on Earth."
Fort Maximus says, "Your politicians cannot erase an entire city with the flick of a wrist and the logical argument to back it up."
Nyah Hunt chuckles slightly, "Only one can do that, and we're armed to teeth with weapons that can blow up a small country. And if you want the global account. We hold enough nuclear weapons to blow this world up ten times over..The fun of being in a Cold War. And of course Regan would find a logical argument as to why Moscow is a big crator in the ground." She places her chains back into her blouse, "So what if I did work for Shockwave or the Decepticons? I've got more to worry about with my own race putting an end to my life."
Fort Maximus shakes his head, "Your nuclear weapons are more a threat to yourselves then to us." he replies, as he reaches the middle of the grassy area he swings his head side to side... yes, this is big enough...
Fort Maximus transforms to his
Robot mode.
Fort Max reconfigures his components
into his impressive Robot Mode.
Nyah Hunt uh huhs, "Just push us the wrong way, and we'll got after you."
Fort Maximus looks down at Nyah, "You have done so already. Please back off to the edge of the grassy area, I do not wish to injure you."
Nyah Hunt grabs her bag, and she moves off the grassy area. She hmphs, "Not enough to obliterate you with nuclear weapons."
Fort Maximus says, "If you were to do so, you would end your own existance as well." his body seperates and goes through an extensive transformation, "Would your government wish to risk the entire planet?"
Fort Maximus transforms to his
Repair-Bay mode.
Fort Max reconfigures his components
into his impressive Repairstation Mode.
Nyah Hunt chuckles, "That's the reason we haven't. Some losers who go about their lives hugging trees keep us from doing just that."
Fort Maximus emits, "Your attitude seems to indicate that you would do just that if you had the power. I am sorry you feel that way."
Nyah Hunt grins, and she furrows her brow, "Nothing more exhilirating to have the power and will to blow up many of your kind." She's letting her guard go as to who she's really allied with.
Fort Maximus emits, "And you still claim neutrality in this conflict?"
Nyah Hunt chuckles, "Neutrality no. I would openly support the Russians no more than I would the Decepticons. Surely there's no ill problems with favoring something outside the norm."
Fort Maximus emits, "My concern is only for your safety."
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "This is fun. Playing mind games with the Autobots."
<Decepticon> Oxide says, "What?"
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Report your location at once."
Nyah Hunt reaches for the plushy, and she smirks, "So I lied as to how I obtained both items. Shockwave gave both of them to me. I went to them willingly. They're way of things simply appeals to me. Just like tree hugging appeals to an Autobot."
Fort Maximus emits, "Tree hugging? We simply do not wish to harm any terrans. This is not your war, you should not be involved." Fort Maximus initiates a mental command... if this terran serves the Decepticons, you can bet some cons will be showing up sometime soon to deal with Fort Max's interest in the Arsenic remains...
Fort Maximus transforms to his Battle-Station mode.
Fort Max reconfigures his components into his impressive Battlestation Mode.
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "I'm where you did that interview Shockwave. And the place that Bot was reported to be hanging out..Big and he has two other modes besides his robot one."
Nyah Hunt grins, and she leans against a parked car, "Being all peace loving and stuff. It never struck me as entertaining. I was in a gang where I could die the next day. Just did what I did for the pure thrill of things, and I like the darker sides of life."
Fort Maximus emits, "You willingly engaged yourself in activities that could lead you to cease function on a daily basis?"
<Decepticon> Oxide says, ". . . That could be trouble . ."
Nyah Hunt nods her head, "Yup. I'm more at a risk driving a car..And if I die. At least my life was thrilling enough."
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Use extreme caution then. This Autobot is highly powerful. Return to base once you have finished with your duties."
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "No problems. I don't think he's going to shoot at me. Then again..not every Bot's going to act like Prowl."
<Decepticon> Archive says, "Archive reporting for duty"
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Archive, report to the location Fortress Maximus is stationed."
Fort Maximus doesn't say anything more, but something about the air he exhudes is sad... the cannons of his battlestation mode retract as he goes into defensive mood, seeming to shut down at this stage. Apparently the Terran's willingness to risk life and limb for nothing more then a cheap thrill has saddened him.
<Decepticon> Archive says, "Understood and on my way"
1970_Superbird has arrived.
1970_Superbird pulls up and stops on the side of the road. Its windows are tinted a deep black and it just seems to sit there, with its engine running
Nyah Hunt's heading back inside of the truckstop with a dufflebag in hand. She's got a familiar item strapped to it. Her Shock plushy. She seats herself down on a bench, and sighs..She removes the bandage on her arm. The cut she got has healed nicely. She places the bandage inside a trash bin, "Lovely.."
1970_Superbird pulls into a stall outside the truckstop and parks. He waits and scanns the area for the Bot
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "I am at the location, but no sign of Fortress Max"
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Is Nyah still in that location?"
Nyah Hunt looks at the grassy area where Maximus is stationed in his defense base mode. She sighs, and rubs her still tender arm. She finds the very out of place Superbird, and takes her bag slinging it over her shoulder. She starts to trek across the truckstop towards him? Maybe. Maybe not.
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "At some kind of human restaurant, it seems rather filthy"
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "She was recently 'wounded'. Such a condition would be a risk to her health."
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "I am picking up Autobot signature. It seems to be coming from a large defense base outside of the city"
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "That's him."
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "Your kidding that thing is twice the size of Trypticon"
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "He's the size of a house."
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "I'm masked, I can get close to him and get some readings"
Nyah Hunt looks at Fortress Maximus again, and she is still headed for Archive. She rubs her arm, and grumbles..no still isn't all that better.
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "And might I ask why you have left base despite your wounds Nyah?"
1970_Superbird opens his driver door as Nyah comes close "You had better answer him"
<Decepticon> Nyah Hunt says, "I needed to get some air. And see about seeking out a human doctor who'll take cash."
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "And you have known that to never be the case, and that I will personally see to your injuries."
Nyah Hunt she looks at Archive, and she nods, "Yeah. No kidding. Shock's the one who gave me these wounds to begin with. My fault. But he still did the job. He did most of the work to fix up the damage he did. I needed to have sometime to myself, among other things."
<Decepticon> 1970_Superbird says, "I will take her to the brownstone. And call a human doctor. It might not be a bad idea to have a doctor we can trust for the human companions"
<Decepticon> Shockwave says, "Agreed. Oxide and myself shall arrive at the Brownstone's location shortly. I have gathered the needed supplys to see to her care."
1970_Superbird says, "Lets go Nyah, that big guy over there is makin me nervous"
Nyah Hunt nods her head, and
she tosses her bag in the passenger seat. She then slides herself in, "Same
here..Both big guys are making me very nervous."
Nyah Hunt has left.
1970_Superbird
The epitome of the muscle-car era this sleak racer has more horsepower than a mack truck and more speed than any of the newer sports car. This car was painted a deep gloss black and had two tone blue flames covering the front end. The most unusual feature of this car is the six foot tail fin that was unique to this vehicle. Like the rest of this car it too was painted a rich gloss black, here however two polished Decepticon sigils are etched in, and directly below that a new EDC Seal has been added to each fin.

Nyah Hunt steps out, and she eyes her tender leg. She says, "Let Shock take care of these. The nature of the wounds might cause some suspisons..That and I'm not sure I really trust a human doctor." She takes her bag slinging it over her shoulder.
Archive says, "o upstairs and rest, Shockwave will be here soon"
Nyah Hunt nods her head, and she steps upstairs, "Right..Just hope it's not a repeat of what happened to cause these guys..Then again I didn't beg anyone to torture me."
Archive says nothing he just sits there in the garage doing nothing
Nyah Hunt shrugs, and she sighs as she moves on into the basement.
Basement
This room is unlike many basements
in that it is completly furnished and comes equiped as a gameroom. The
games however don't seem to be any you recognize and hey in fact you really

Oxide [Robot]
Shockwave [Robot]
Obvious exits:
<G>arage leads to Garage.
<E>levator leads to
Elevator.
Oxide settles down next to Shox's knee . . . looking around a bit timidly. "An outpost . . . . it doesn't seem like much."
Nyah Hunt steps in from the garage, looking tired, she tosses her duffle bag in a chair. She removes her leather trench coat, and places it next to the bag. She doesn't know Shockwave has arrived yet nor that they have company. She seats herself down in the couch, and eyes the bandages..Then the burn marks on her skin.
Shockwave's optic flickers, and he calmly intones, "This is a reason to prevent human suspisons of anything that is uncalled for taking place here." He's fully aware of Nyah's arrival, and he cooly intones, "Nyah...You do know that I was highly worried. You left without warning, and you are fortunate that Fortress Maximus has a weakness that prevents him from harming a human." He moves over to where she's seated with the medical supplys he has brought along with him.
Oxide scoots after Shockwave . . . almost as if hiding behind him, like a child behind their parent. "Nyah . . . are you all right?"
Nyah Hunt's startled, and she looks up at Shockwave. She frowns as her gaze falls to the floor. She didn't know he worried about her, and she says, "Sorry. Just needed time to myself after pulling that really stupid bit with Dreadwind that resulted in you.." She nods her head to the cut on her arm, "..well you know." She's not aware of Oxide being there. She then frowns as she hears the little voice, and she nods her head, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Shockwave reaches his hand over, and he pokes her with his finger to lay down. He studies it the one on her arm, and he intones calmly, "I will need access to the rest of the wounds.." He looks at Nyah, and he shakes his head slowly, "You are not in any threat of any more harm to your person. What I did was a vital lesson, and even if the answer you gave me was not one I saw to be logical." He looks her in the eye, "I stopped due to the threat of serious damage to yourself. That was not the goal of my lesson nor was it to cause your trust to waver."
Oxide looks from Nyah to Shockwave .. there's something she's missing here. She frowns, puzzled.
Nyah Hunt lets out a sigh, and she eyes her clothing..Especially her pants. She unties them, and quickly removes them to expose a few burn marks along with another bandage on her outter thigh. She soon is quick to cover it with the throw blanket that is draped over the couch, and quickly makes due with her buttons, "Careful with the kid here Shock..My trust..You bet that was a shock to it, but I still trust you Shockers. I figured you stopped for a reason. Not like I'm going to do that again." With her shirt off, she puts her leather pants down at the other end of the couch. Her shirt follows suit.
Shockwave nudges Nyah again with his finger to lay down. He looks over to Oxide, and he calmly says to her, "I gave Nyah a lesson as to why she does not ask to be tortured. To inform her as to how illogical her demands were, and not only threatening to her well being. I performed a simple proceedure that would cause her pain. Her wounds are minor and her health is not a risk." He glances back to Nyah, and he states, "As I have told you countless times. You should not be so self consious about your body being displayed." He takes hold of the throw blanket, and lightly trys to tug it off of Nyah and drops the blanket at down on the ground by his feet. Now he can see the two covered gashes in her skin, and a few electrical burns on her mocha colored skin.
Nyah Hunt erks at the cold metal on her skin, but she does lay herself down, and relucantly gives up the blanket. There's a bandage on her right outter thigh and one right blow her naval. A few electrical burns can be seen along the edges of them. She shivers, "I expected to do the same for a human doctor Shockwave. Just you're hand and the temperature of this room are cold."
Oxide blinks in surprise. "Why would /anybody/ ask to be tortured in the first place?" She says in /great/ puzzlement, staring off into nowhere. Absently, she sits down, and pulls her synth from behind her.
Shockwave nods his head in agreement,
"I agree with your question Oxide." He eyes his hand, and he shrugs, "You
will suffice despite the minor discomforts." He reaches for the bandage
over Nyah's thig, and gently takes hold of it. He pulls it back to expose
the healing gash in Nyah's skin. He reaches for a small damp rag he had
prepped from earlier. He dabs the area around the wound gently, and he
calmly intones, "I am pleased to see that this did not effect your bond
with me, nor your loyalty with the
Decepticons."
Nyah Hunt frowns, and she nods her head to Oxide, "It was a stupid attempt to get Dreadwind from looking at the wall." She watches Shockwave clean up her now scabbed wound. She knows it won't be there for long, and she sighs, "I take that's the reason you want to take care of my medical care yourself Shock..Get these to heal fast, and without any scarring.."
Oxide looks over at Nyah with surprise . . . but does not comment. Almost as if there's no need for her to . . . Her hands glide over the keys of her synth, bringing forth a slow melody in the minor key.
Shockwave finishes cleaning the area of the wound up. He takes a small hypodermic gun filled with advanced anti-bodies, and other good things for Nyah in terms of healing the gashes and electrical burns. He looks at Nyah, optic flashing, and he speaks in a calm soothing voice, "There are more reasons. It allows for me to become more attached to you, and in return I do assume it does the same with you. I also have time to speak to you about more personal matters." He injects the healing agent into the wound site, and he places the empty canister on the ground before going get a new hypodermic gun from the small pile of supplys.
Nyah Hunt winces at the prick at her skin, and she looks at Oxide, "Aren't you a medic? I'm suprised you aren't watching this." She looks over at Shockwave, and smiles, "Yeah..It's a good time to just talk. And I'll admit again you're still better than most human doctors I've seen."
Oxide looks over at Nyah in a rather absent way . . . "I don't know a thing about human physiology, though." Her fingers pick out more of the melody, slowing it down slightly.
Shockwave's optic flickers twice, and he places the other gun down at his side. He rubs the last injection site to make sure the nanites are evenly dispursed. He speaks to Oxide, "There is a music collection on this floor. You may find some of it to be rather interesting." His optic glows at Nyah, "Noted, and appericated."
Nyah Hunt erks at the cold fingers again, and she nods, "The former owners of this place have a pretty big cd collection. Lots of good stuff in there too." She points to the stereo system. She smirks, "Feels pretty there Shock. Thought you'd like to know that."
Oxide scoots over to look at the collection of music . . . and blinks in puzzlement, holding up a CD. "What?"
Shockwave leaves the leg wound to heal after feeling confident that everything is neatly dispersed. He turns his head over his shoulder to look at Oxide, "There is a device." He points his gun-arm towards the black cd player, "You open up the storage device, and remove the round object inside. That goes inside of the tray of the 'cd player' as it is called." He reaches over to his shoulder for the damp rag, and goes to tend to the exposed wound on Nyah's arm gently dabbing it. Soon to repeat with the injection, and massaging of the injection site. His optic glows at the comment, "It is a pleasing to know that you are finding some enjoyment of some simple pyshical contact."
Nyah Hunt has gotten used to the cold fingers, and she nods, "Humans do that with another. Touch each other like that..well somewhat like that if they like another." She blinks at the cd instructions, and chuckles, "You really remembered what I told you there? I didn't think it would of been that important."
Oxide skeptically does as Shockwave says, powering up the device . . . Weird Al's 'It's All About The Pentiums' comes blasting out of the speakers. "ACK!"
Shockwave's optic flares brightly, and he looks over at Oxide, "Lower the volume at once!" He snaps. He looks over to Nyah, and he cocks his head to the side, "Interesting indeed." He finishes up with the final area of Nyah. Then once he's done covers her up with the big throw cover that's down on the floor at his foot.
Nyah Hunt's asleep by the time
she's covered up. It was the first time she saw how he's done this. The
odd use of a massage to disperse the nanites had did the trick of putting
her soundly to sleep.
