Japan(#4160Rnt)

        Japan floats like a dismembered seahorse along the eastern rim of the Asian continent. Around 10,000 years ago, during the last big melt, sea levels rose enough to flood the land bridge connecting Japan with the mainland. Today Japan consists of a chain of islands (four major ones and some 1000 small ones) riding a 3000km (1860mi) arc of mountains, the tallest of which is the perfectly symmetrical Mt Fuji (3776m/12,385ft). Many of these mountains are volcanic, blessing the islands with numerous hot springs and spectacular scenery, but at the same time bringing the danger of earthquakes and tsunami (tidal waves). Japan has the dubious distinction of being one of the most seismically active regions of the world. It is calculated that the country gets around 1000 earthquakes a year, most of them too small to notice without sophisticated seismic equipment or a very elaborate hairstyle.
        Japan is well known for it's electronics, cars, video games, and animiation industry. Japan also has one of the best rail systems in the world, the Shinkansen reach speeds of up to 270km/h (167mi/h), are spookily efficient. The major city and capital is Tokyo. Other cities constist of Kobe, Kyoto, Okinawa, Osaka, Saparro. Both Hiroshima and Nagano have a high level of radiation, and are not habbitable due to the Atomic Bomb being dropped on them at the end of World War II.

Skywarp is over the ocean, heading towards Japan at cruising speed.

Shockwave's flying off in the distance...he's also headed for Japan. He's flying at cruising speeds over the ocean. It's not hard to miss the big old purple cannon.

Skywarp isn't exactly observant however... especially when he's on 'autopilot'. He continues his straightline path up high where his fuel usage is at a minimum...

Nyah Hunt's asleep in a nicely presurized cabinet or just Shockwave's little storage area for that hand of his. Long flights are great for a good nap.

Shockwave continues on his flight. He's using that nice little reactor to fuel his powerful afterburners. His sensors feed him information on everything in the area from Japanese Fishing boats, the fish under the water, and any aircraft in the area. A jamming signal flashes on and off as it's required.

Nyah Hunt just sleeps through the rest of the flight. A nice long conversation was the killer.

Skywarp starts to drop altitude as autopilot prepares him to enter Japanese airspace.

Shockwave keeps his altitude as he starts to move into Japanese airspace. He activates that jamming signal to prevent for any military units from coming to play with him. He tersely speaks to his passenger, "Nyah? We are entering Japanese airspace."

Nyah Hunt groans, and just shifts her position. She doesn't wake up..She's gotten a rather nice snooze out of this ride.
 

Skywarp is continuing to shed altitude as he prepares to enter the airspace, dropping below radar level...

Shockwave starts to desend, but he keeps the jamming freq up..He's still a pretty obvious figure. He tersely speaks again, "Nyah, do wake yourself up."

Nyah Hunt is stubborn when it comes to getting herself up. She grumbles, "Naaa...need more sleep.."

Skywarp is heading towards the northernmost area of Japan at the moment.

Shockwave begins to shift his direction towards Tokyo..He should find what his little human pet wants there. He rocks himself to the side to wake Nyah, "Nyah, do remember where you happen to be."

Nyah Hunt swifts from side to side hitting a finger or two. She wakes up slowly, "Waah?"

Skywarp turns now that he's below radar and heads directly towards Tokyo.

Shockwave continues onto Tokyo, his jamming signal should be felt by our favorite little Seeker. He tersely speaks to Nyahh, "A pleasure to see you are awake.."

Skywarp is, as was noted, not very observant, nor is he flying intelligent. He's still on 'autopilot' of sorts, continuing to drop as he nears the big city.

Nyah Hunt rubs her eyes, and she mmms, "Where are we?" She peers over at the monitor, "Didn't think you'd really fly me out here. Thanks."

Shockwave starts to come into visual range of the seeker. His running lights flicker on and off as he begins his final approach. If he was the type he'd give a half hearted chuckle, but he isn't, "We have arrived in Tokyo. And I am able to keep with my amends..As for your gratefulness it is noted."

Skywarp snaps out of it as something big looms, with running lights... "AHHH slaggit." he pulls up sharply and banks off of his direction into the heart of the city.

Nyah Hunt looks at her little pool of drool, and she smirks, "Sorry if I drooled a little on yeah." She uses her sleeve to wipe it up, and then edges over to look out her monitor, "So am I seeing what you're seeing through here or what?"

Shockwave starts to track after Skywarp, and he calmly intones, "Correct. I was able to link the monitor to one of my optical nerves..And I do take that due to the function of this area you did not feel confined." His running lights flicker again, and he continues on into the heart of the city.

Nyah Hunt wooas, and she nods, "Not at all..Beats a having that hard well..erm floor to sit on." She continues to look out that window, and she watches Skywarp as Shockwave follows after him, "You're not going to kill him are you? And do you really have me bugged? I just want an honest answer."
Skywarp is beating for the outer edge of Tokyo...

Shockwave continues following after Skywarp. He cuts his running lights, and adds more throttle into his engines. He tersely speaks to Nyah, "Good to see you are pleased. It appeared to be the more logical selection of compartments for you to be allowed to travel within. As for Skywarp. Negative his actions have not warranted punishment. As for you. You have no tracking or monitoring devices on you. The reason I knew of your activities was due to the strong oder coming from your body."

Skywarp dips down low and pulls hard around a skyscraper, he's not sure he's being followed, but he's in a very unbalanced and paranoid stage right now... he quickly transforms and lands, looking around for somewhere to lay low... meanwhile Japanese are going nuts with him being right there and all...

Skywarp transforms to its Robot mode.

Nyah Hunt nods her head, "Right...Sorry about smoking that stuff. Just needed to find away to get rid of that stress that's been bugging me. Skywarp? He's scared of you..Well that your new troops will soon replace him, and he'll be pretty much given a less than warm retirement."

Shockwave still follows after Skywarp, and comes to a hover above a small Japanese park. He activates his running lights again, and he tersely intones, "Skywarp has served the Empire well despite some of his antics. He is in no threat of replacement by anyone. I am not Megatron where I see it fit to find reason to reduse those who serve loyally to nothing more than ash. As for your stress..You are free to inform me as to what causes you problems.."

Skywarp is hiding behind a large dumpster, for all the effect that'll have, he's simpering too. He doesn't have many unstable moments like this, but occassionally they do get him.

Nyah Hunt smirks, "Told him that, and he doesn't seem to believe it." She skoots herself back into Shockwave's palm, and she smirks, "As for what's bothering me. I'll tell you when we get back.."

Shockwave cups Nyah gently in his hand, and he transforms back into his robot mode. He alights himself down on the ground softly so his passenger isn't jolted about. He then alights Nyah on his shoulder lightly, "I do not see him believing the words that would come from me as well." His optic flickers, and he looks at the Japanese people who are looking up at him, "They do not scatter in fear. Why is that?"

A bunch of kids are clustered around the dumpster, some of them are asking for autographs, others are looking for pictures.

Nyah Hunt looks down herself, "They like big giant robots and lots of other strange things. And you're both strange and a giant robot." She ducks back, and smiles thinly.

Shockwave's optic shimmers, and he walks over towards the dumpster. He calmly speaks to Nyah, "You are what I would consider strange and unusual myself." He comes to a stop before the dumpster, and he tersely intones, "Skywarp."

Skywarp jumps and kicks the dumpster in his startlment, he then starts backing up, right into dead end against a building.

Nyah Hunt looks at Skywarp, and she frowns, "Skywarp..You're not in trouble. I asked him if he wanted to come along. So it's my fault."

Skywarp says, "Sure I ain'... he's prolly figgered out how t' duplicate teleportation, there goes any uniqueness I got right out the window, right along with me."

Shockwave looks down at the kids who now are begging him for an autograph, and he steps right over them to get to Skywarp. His optic flickers as he stops, "And might I inquire as to where you conjured up this idea?"

Skywarp says, "Your so slaggin' cold and logical... What logical reason t' keep me around if y' got somethin' better to replace me, eh? Once you got that I's inferior, outdated, don' make logical sense t' keep somethin' that ain't up t' date now does it!"

Nyah Hunt facepalms, and she sighs, "I told you this before. He's not Megatron and he just doesn't get rid of his troops."

Skywarp's logic center ain't shocks... what he thinks Shock would think logical ain't exactly accurate.

Shockwave's optic flickers twice, and he continues forward. This time he's not all that concerned with the Japanese kids begging for autographs. They get in the way..they get in the way. He stops right infront of Skywarp, and he looks him dead in the optics, "Then you clearly do not see things my way. You are an experianced warrior. Experiance does not come from those who are freshly created. As for Scourge and Cyclonus they are not new to this war..Then prehaps I should fill my ranks with those like Oxide or Frenzy. And I can duplicate teleportation devices..It is a technology the Decepticons developed. You use it efficiently for the better part. And here is part of the Decepticon _Elite_ cowering in a terran ally."

Skywarp blinks his optics several times, having cowered all the way to a sitting position, "Decepticon... elite?"

Nyah Hunt nods her head, and she smiles, "You're part of those who just happens to be the best of the best.."

Shockwave nods his head slowly, and he continues to step closer. He looks at Nyah, and then back to Skywarp, "The human said it best." He offers Skywarp his hand, and he tersely intones, "Look at you? Skywarp a member of the Decepticon's Finest cowering like an Autobot. You do know what is to become of Decepticons who act like an Autobot?"

Skywarp takes the hand, blinking, he's still stuck on the word 'elite', "You think I'm elite?"

Shockwave pulls back to help Skywarp back to his feet. Whoops there goes a few of those tourists. He nods his head slowly, "Correct. Your skills have proven that you are Skywarp."

Skywarp grins, "Well... why didn't you say so..." he buffs his cockpit, "Here I thought I'd be recycled inta one of those new guys."

Nyah Hunt looks at Skywarp, "Told you so..Still into getting those tapes you wanted.." She then looks down at what Shockwave stepped on, "Mmmm, pancakes."

Skywarp frowns, "You know, boss.." he points at the ground, "I think you stepped in something." he walks past him, "So Nyah, you know anything about this area, or are we going to take potluck on finding a good reliable dealer?"

Shockwave steps back again, and he calmly intones, "The Sweeps are easily replaced. As for you and the rest of the Seekers..You're still more valuable to the Empire." He glances down at what he did step on, "Two misfortunate humans. They bought it upon themselves to remain at such a close distance."

Skywarp smirks, "You might wanna clean that off... it might start to smell."

Nyah Hunt shudders, and doesn't look down to see what results of the two are, "We're going potluck. This is my first time in this country honestly." She points over towards the park fountain, "There's a good place for that."

Skywarp says, "Oh that's cold, even for you Nyah." he laughs, "Lets leave crushed fleshies floating in the public recreational display!"

Shockwave starts over to the said fountain, and he calmly intones, "Yes. We wouldn't attract any unwanted visitors, nor do I desire to have that distinct odor carried by Blot." He looks at Skywarp, "And you see why I have grown attacked to her."

Nyah Hunt rubs her head, "Guess we'll just call'em Bob and Matt when someone writes something down on their tombstone." She mmphs, "Well were do you suggest? The local swimming pool?"

Shockwave steps into the fountain, and he moves his feet about to get the remains of the two off..eew chunky style soup. He uses the sides to get anything that sticks off. He soon steps out of the now gross fountain. He glances over at Nyah and Skywarp, "The two of your are disgusting."

Skywarp laughs and shakes his head, "Well, lets find us some video stores..."

Nyah Hunt peeks into the fountain, and she gags slightly, "Doubt it..Yeah video stores."

Shockwave looks about the buildings near the park, and he points to the brightly lit one. He's notices all those pictures of humans doing odd things. Besides the ceiling and everything is high enough for him to look about at everything.

Nyah Hunt lets out a yawn, and she ums, "How about we go when they're actually open Shock? That and I'm still exhausted."

Skywarp grins, "I'll put on a show for some of these li'l buggers and try and track something down, I'll be in touch."

Shockwave nods his head, "I shall remain here then." He walks away from the fountain, and towards another large ally.
