(( OOC: @ Blackrosefencer: Awwwe. The poor bunny. I hope she feels better soon. I hate to see my pets feeling umcomfortable or sad. Makes me feel so bad.

"The thought had occurred to me," "But I think that my Predacon side is just as interested in my survival as my Maximal side. Obviously I can't know for sure, but I think that I might go out looking for a fight, but I don't think I'd change sides repeatedly. I think the Predacon in me knows that the other Preds are a threat. No one from Cybertron is here now, no one from Cybertron knows how to contact anyone on this planet nor does anyone here know how to contact them, but how long do you think that will last? If they ever found out I was a part of such an important experiment....important in their eyes....they'd be sure to find a way of contacting the others."
"Hm," Optimus let out thoughtfully.
"I think Megatron would have different intentions. He isn't one to throw away an opportunity of which he might be able to use against us without consideration of your own well being." The more Arachnitron explained, the more difficult her situation started to sound than Primal previously contemplated. But because of his optimism, he wasn't going to give up without trying.
"As for our lack of communication with Cybertron, we've been here for some time already, and I fear it will be much longer. Even if any contact is established with them, your identity is safe with me."
"If you think that is best," "And, yes, I would appreciate no one knowing my previous involvement with the Predacons. The fact that I have a genetic structure that includes both factions will be frightening enough for some."
The gorilla nodded at the widow before him.
"Then it will remain between us," Optimus said, giving her his word. While some might be frightened of that aspect, others could be intrigued by it. Others like Frilla, Rhinox, and Oraciner. There were enough people there to help her, or at least understand her.
"Thank you, Arachnitron, for explaining everything to me. I know it must be difficult for you to trust anyone, no matter which allegiance they belong to. So, would you like to look around our ship? Or would you rather have some time alone? Just remember that if you remain in robot mode too long, the raw energon fields will build up on your systems and disrupt them, quickly putting you into stasis lock." Primal was aware that she had been out of her beast mode for a little while now, and out of common courtesy, he just wanted to remind her of the dangerous effect it could have. And he was offering an invitation to dismiss her, if she was done telling him everything that she wanted to, in case she wasn't comfortable yet being around so many strangers inside the
Axalon.
Because something in the sky caught his eye, Optimus shifted his gaze to find out who was flying in. He always tried to be alert when outside, and aware of his surroundings. Recognizing that it was Feralnight, he simply turned his attention back to Arachnitron. He hoped things had gone all right with the Fuzor's group. He had a feeling there was a lot of debriefing to catch up on, not ot mention the other two new bots, Aurora and Ironclaw.
(( OOC: Not to rush Arachnitron or anything, just want to keep things moving and have OP speak with Ironclaw and Whitegrazer (although, she'll have to pull Optimus aside for that since he isn't aware that she wants to warn him about something), and catch up with everything else that has happened. Unless Arach's dark side comes out soon.

"We have not yet lost the pod," "And if it is not your desire to engage us, then you had better hope your comrades do not try to interfere with our mission. We have come to acquire what is rightfully ours."
Rattrap was afraid Dinobot would say that. In a way, though, he was right. The pod was the Maximals' property no matter how came out of it. But the rat really just wanted to avoid a fight over a now empty stasis pod. Maybe he could find an opportunity to destroy it. Watching Lizard Lips casually walk by Onyx, Rattrap waited to see what the new Pred would do.
"Maximize!""Unfortunately Rattrap think we're stuck with a fight."
"Yeah, I noticed," the unhappy rodent sighed.
"I suppose it can go either way." "Terrorize."
Watching the black horse transform, it was probably too late to go back to chatting, not that it ever lasted long when Dinobot was involved. Now, if Optimus were there, he might actually have had been able to stretch out some kind of negotiation. Of course, it probably would've ended in a battle anyway.
"Rattrap, maximize," he ordered his internal computer and his body automatically shifted to his robot mode. Pulling out his gun, he targeted the ebony Predacon.
"I do apologize Maximals I didn't expect to engage in a fight so early but I suppose that was inevitable."
"Yeah, well, all you woulda have had ta do was hand over our stasis pod ta us. That's all we wanted," the rat spoke up to Onyx.
"I would advise you not to move if you value not becoming charred Maximals."
Without panicking, Rattrap strafed and ducked Onyx's shots. Reacquiring his aim, he fired a few of his own blasts back at the Predacon horse. Suddenly, the master marksman found himself being pushed by Frilla, almost stumbling over his own feet, but he quickly realized why. Seeing the bombardment of gun and missile fire coming at them and Onyx, the two small Maximals would get caught in the blast. Rattrap deliberately fell to the ground with his back toward the explosion, covering his head with his weapon still in his grasp. As soon as the heat retracted, he sat up and turned around, frantically searching the area to see what happened and who was left standing.
"You all right, Frilla?" he called to her, but his optics on Onyx's direction. Noticing some rustling in the trees, Rattrap thought he spotted a white tiger getting tossed around.
"Is that Wintersong?" Rattrap suddenly fired more shots at Onyx as he got to his feet to keep him distracted from Wintersong since she probably already had her hands full with the two femmes. Where was Dinobot? He couldn't see him from where he was through all of the trees, and he kind of blended in despite his blue armor.
(( OOC: Hope I didn't miss anything or get confused. Had a lot to catch up on with RT.
