Main Entrance - Autobot City[]
- As you enter the main entrance of Autobot City, a few Autobot guards stop you and check your entrance pass, after they see you have the correct credentials, they wave you on. The inside of Metroplex is ENORMOUS, it seems as if it could go on forever. The walls are completely made of steel and there are computer terminals and intercoms located at strategic places along the way. To the east is a corridor leading towards the heart of the city, and the exit lies opposite of it to the west. Leading off to the side is a long corridor heading towards the Landing Pad where aircraft of all types land and take off as visitors and military personnel alike arrive and depart from the city.
Ultra Magnus
Ultra Magnus strides in the main gate looking stern as usual.
Typhoon passes through the main entrance, heading for the ramp and outta Autobot City.
Ultra Magnus nods to the femme as she passes. "Hello Typhoon."
Typhoon glances up at Magnus.
"Hi, Commander. How's the weather outside?"
Typhoon peers past Magnus out the open doorway.
Ultra Magnus pauses and looks back. "Cold and arid would best describe it."
Typhoon purses her 'lips', and nods. "Sounds crisp and excellent. Permission to head out and enjoy it while it lasts?"
Ultra Magnus nods firmly. "Of course, Typhoon."
Typhoon beams. "Thanks, Mags!"
Ultra Magnus is just glad she didn't ask for a shuttle.
Typhoon bounces down the ramp and out of the city, with all the enthusiasm of a 5-year-old.
Desert - Nevada - USA[]
:Off the beaten path, one of the many Nevada deserts uninhabited by communities. It is a large stretch of land, miles and miles around. There is no build-up here; no houses, no factories. In the center of it all, accessible only by a treaded dirt highway, well worn by constant travel, is a large metallic city. To the east of the city runs a river, grasses and trees thriving along its banks. To the west are mountainous rocks and canyons. Behind it are large open flats. This area is governmentally restricted to civilians, a fact enforced by the constant Autobot security patrols.
Typhoon
Typhoon comes bounding out of the city.
Katie is near her truck, with the kids. They're parked on the road to the city, within easy walking distance.
Typhoon is outside the city, enjoying the weather.
Katie is near her truck, with the kids. They're parked on the road to the city, within easy walking distance.
Typhoon is outside enjoying the cool evening, gazing up at the stars.
Katie walks towards the city, idly, the kids following behind.
- Typhoon's INTELLIGENCE roll succeeds.
Typhoon is wondering around, gazing up and not where she's walking.
- Katie's INTELLIGENCE roll fails.
Katie doesn't notice Ty looking away, and unintentionally is walking right towards her.
Typhoon luckily notices Katie out of her peripheral vision, and glances down before stepping on her.
- Katie's INTELLIGENCE roll succeeds.
Katie looks up then, and blinks, moving back a bit. "Oh... I'm sorry."
- Typhoon's INTELLIGENCE roll fails.
Typhoon drawls, "Oh! Hello! I didn't realize there was anybody out here!" Typhoon crouches down to look at Katie and her demonspawn.
Katie smiles a little. "Yeah, we were just at the truck... anything going on?"
Typhoon looks around. "Apparently we have a new recycling drone or something out here, but I haven't spotted it yet."
Katie hmms. "Really? I haven't seen one..."
Typhoon shrugs. "Me, either. Maybe it's over on the west side of th' City."
Katie hmms and nods. "I guess it must be..."
Typhoon frowns. "What are you doing out here? Isn't it a bit cold for humans?"
Typhoon peers down at Katie's children.
- Denise
A bright young evidently near-3 year old, with reddish hair, and bright, inquisitive light blue eyes. She wears a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of coveralls, strapped over the sleeves.
Typhoon drawls, "It's almost freezing. The wind chill is 4 degrees Celcius."
Katie shakes her head. "Not with my coat zipped up. That's why I have their coats on as well. Besides, I was headed towards the gate, thinking of getting warmed up in the quarters I've stayed in all the other times I was here.
Typhoon ohs? "You're a guest of Ultra Magnus's?"
Typhoon doesn't appear to recognize Katie.
Katie laughs. "I've stayed here for a few months at a time, once or twice before... Just I was alone then. My kids were actually born in the city, during the temporal mess..."
Typhoon ohs!
- Typhoon's INTELLIGENCE roll succeeds.
Typhoon squints down at Katie in the semi-darkness. "Ms. Sorenson?"
Katie nods, smiling a bit. "Yeah... Katie, please. I feel old when I get called Ms. Sorensen."
Typhoon nods, not exactly smiling.
"Ah. OK. You're staying here, then?"
Typhoon peers down at Katie.
Katie smiles a little. "Well... actually, not totally, lately. But it's not quite time for me to be back out in Oklahoma, so I've been around once in a while, yes."
Typhoon frowns. "You're not here to cause trouble with Tyson, are you?"
Typhoon scowls down at Katie suspiciously.
Katie shakes her head. "I got done with that. The last time I was, Dust Devil outright /asked/ me to come talk to him.
Typhoon frowns, and nods. "OK. Just making sure."
Typhoon's hardened expression softens a bit.
Katie nods... "He's decided to hate all humanity, I guess even I can't talk him off. Only dust can. So, it's for Dust to do."
Typhoon frowns. "I'm sure he'll outgrow it. Then he can teach Gears." Typhoon smiles at what she considers a private joke.
Katie hmms a little. "Ah..." She smiles a bit. "oh well..."
Typhoon smiles down at Katie.
Katie smiles a bit more.
- Katie's INTELLIGENCE roll succeeds.
Katie hmms. "You're Typhoon, right?"
Typhoon beams. "Yep! Weatherbot aft-kicker extraordinaire!"
Typhoon smiles down at Katie. "But shouldn't you be getting inside? Your offspring will chap..."
Katie smiles. "I thought I remembered you. Ah." She hms. "I should probably introduce my daughters..." She gestures to each one in turn. "Meet Marcie and Denise..." She laughs. "Well.... I'll go in, in a second."
Denise looks up, on being pointed out. "Hello, Typhoon..."
Marcie looks up, on being pointed out. "Hello, Typhoon..."
Typhoon smiles down at the little horrors.
"Well, do you want a ride into the city?"
Typhoon takes a step back, and transforms.
Typhoon transforms into a large brown Land Rover, complete with a high-tech trailer.
The little girls oooh in unison, and run up to the land rover, each saying "Thanks!"
Katie smiles at Typhoon. "Thank you... that's very nice of you." She walks up, following the little girls.
Land Rover <Typhoon> pops her doors open, revealing a tan interior with cow "fur" covered seats and steering wheel.
Land Rover <Typhoon> closes the door, flips on the C&W music, and gives the Sorensens a ride up into the city.
Katie and the girls settle into the seats quickly, smiling.
They enter Autobot City...

Link= Typhoon
Land Rover <Typhoon> drives into the City, humans on board.
Land Rover <Typhoon> honks as she passes Hummer and continues into the City.
Diplomatic Lounge - Ground Floor - Autobot City[]
- A large room, designated as a meeting area for visiting dignitaries. Unlike most areas of the city, this room is specially geared to accommodate humans as well as Transformers, and has areas set aside for each.
Land Rover <Typhoon> drives into the diplomatic lounge, and parks, opening all four doors.
Katie smiles, hopping out.
Denise and Marcie both run up and pet the Land Rover's fenders, saying "Thank you!"
The brown Land Rover combines with its trailer to form the boxy, compact form of Typhoon.
Typhoon drawls, "No problem! Enjoy your stay!" Typhoon waves and heads off to report to Elita One.
Katie smiles, waving. "See you later."
