* Not written/posted
* Written and waiting in the wings...

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY

*Optimus is having trouble dealing so Ironhide decides to spar to relieve some stress

THE HANNIBAL LECTURES SERIES
(Fill this section in if you have one, guys!)

Cade/Bulk
Cade/Shadow (done, unless Cade would like to gloat)
Cade/Blaster
Cade/Blue
Cade/Ironhide (with added pounding)
Cade/Optimus (progressing in gdoc_)

* Megatron and Optimus have a chat about Bumblebee and Barricade’s captivity.
* Optimus takes Barricade out of the Base to execute him.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY

* Megatron ambushes Bumblebee with Fairwinds and scans his spark to figure out how to block the bond.
*After that, Bee is found be Bulkhead and Op and taken back to base to get repaired by ratchet
*Bee talks to Shadow about doing SOMETHING recon-reted about this Fallen ship
*Cade gloats about bullshiting his way out of captivity. Megatron succeeds in blocking out the bond, at least for now. Personal slag happens.
* Cade and Windy chat in China.
* Megatron sends Serotype down to exterminate Bumblebee, confident that with the block in place it won’t effect him. Serotype infects Bee but it’s slow acting, never the less she doesn’t take well to the aftermath of this mission and defects... by blowing up her lab.
* Cade fills Megatron in on the plan to activate the Fallen ship’s weapons and they chat about the Eradicons.
*Cade expresses concerns/is a cagey shifty bastard so Shockwave IS SUPER NICE TO HIM to make him give up more info about the Fallen ship... im totally joking, he fucks Cade up (Sunday)

MONDAY!

* Serotype is hiding out in the desert (Monday)
*Cade and Dusty agree to find her and Cade promises not to kill her so Dusty can talk to her first - Cade points out she picked Bee over him in a way, the bastard (Monday)
* Serotype (later on) sets up a trap to try and kill Cade. Dusty has a Big Damn Heros moment and saves him. Types runs off leaving Dusty all brokenhearted(Monday)
* Megatron discovers that Sniper has been spying on him and loses it. Beats Sniper within an inch of his life and only stops when he puts his own arm through the bulkhead and mangles it.
* Soundwave, left with what remains of Sniper, proceeds to destroy his processor and dump his aft planetside. (Monday)
* Soundwave calms Megatron down enough to repair his arm, as the Almighty Megatron is basically trying to fix it with fire. (Monday)
*Soundwave brings MindRazor online* :D (Monday-Tuesday?)

TUESDAY!

*Bumblebee finds Sniper and takes him to the Autobot base.(Tuesday morning)
*Sniper is badly injured and needs to be fixed. However, he is also dealing with a virus that causes him to see horrors around him. The task of fixing him isn’t an easy one.

WEDNESDAY-END OF GAME WEEK

*Cade distracts the Bots from Shockwave’s plan by attacking the humans. Power stations get blown up whilst he manages to kill Ray and runs, drawing the Autobots off. Shadow and Blaster and Ironhide chase him down.
*Blaster and Shadow and Hide do some unethical things to Cade to make him give up the failsafe AND THE DAY IS SAVED BY BAD THINGS!
*but what’s this? MECH helicopters closing on on the crash site? DUNDUNDUN! END FALLEN PLOTS

(Haven’t worked out the stuff below just yet)

Other Plot Stuff

* Still wandering the desert. Gets in to trouble with an Eradicon search party. (She has been running in to them periodically, but this last one here is where she’s pretty much feeling entirely worn out so it becomes too much to handle on her own) She takes off running and finds Ironhide. The two fight off her pursuers and she turns herself in along with the offer to help Bee. (Suspected that this will take place after the major shit with the Fallen plot takes place. That depends upon how things line up)

* Gah.... Uh.... Okay. I wish I had saved the chat log where this took place but I believe it went something like Megs gets a hold of Mark 3 (after it got left behind and turned over to him) and decides to unleash it. [Insert shit happening here] Then Mark 3 gets exposed to Dark Energon [We’re going to call this one Mark 4. Thank you for mutating it, Megs] and it mutates making it worse and now capable of harming humans. (Megs wanting to harm humans with something viral was hinted at somewhere in They Might Be Giants.)

*Prime makes Ironhide acting 2IC at some point. (discussed this with Muse)

*Shockwave is terribly intrigued by the Eradicons’ development and takes the 33 drones left as a “control group” and begins to build them up and improve them as much as possible. Creating a super intelligent personal guard for himself. Also, will circulate amongst the other RadCons doing many of the same things, as well as turning them against Megatron by letting them know he wants them controlled. He’ll teach them the history of the war so they can see his hypocrisy for themselves. (I think that’s all I need to put on this one) Oh, and Steve is invited to expand his technical and medical knowledge once he gets over leaking himself in front of Shockwave. <3
*After Sniper “properly switches” to the Autobots, he bumps into Starcream, who tries to lure the spy back into his master scheme.
* Dipper is also going to be essentially hammered when whole still thing gets in to motion.... and blab his feelings to Shadow... AND NOT REMEMBER A THING ABOUT ANYTHING THE NEXT MORNING.

Current Mood: contemplative

Did I just write myself in to a corner? CORNERS ARE EVIL!

So right.... maybe it's just a bunch of empty worry that I woke up with this morning or maybe I'm just dumb or maybe I just did something dumb. Anyways, I think I came to a realization of something....

REALIZATION #1: Serotype is a shut-in. Seriously, she's rarely left her lab to do anything and I'm pretty sure she might burn herself out. I think that maybe it's more bad writing on my part. But until her plot actually kicks off and she finds herself in the desert, she's pretty much been in her lab, out training, or occasionally out for a short flight. Maybe I'm a moron here or maybe there might be a point or maybe Morning!Brain is messing with my zen thing.

REALIZATION #2: Dipper is not very good at staying on anyone's radar. Krax pointed this out before but I think I really need to think about this. Yeah... he DOES have his coming-of-age story but no actual things in the ways of concrete plot except for a tidbit there and a little something here. Otherwise, once again, I think I may have stranded the poor guy.

REALIZATION #3: What are you doing Blaster? I mean really. Sure, I do have some plot things going on with you and I do think about you a lot. You're my resident loud mouth, why aren't you louder? Or am I just doing a bad job. I dunno. I'm probably second guessing myself a lot this morning.

Actually I might be. Or maybe it might be poor writing on my part. Maybe I really do need to step up my game. I guess one of my greatest fears right now is that I'm going to eventually write myself in to a corner and that corner is coming up a lot faster than I realize. So yeah.... maybe I'm just worried right now. Morning!Brain is just not helping.

I guess what triggered this is all the plotting I see going on and I go "Ooooo! Plotting. I like seeing that!" and I'll be honest, I really do love seeing that. But maybe I'm just feeling all kinds of shy or something. I have really no idea. But sometimes I do feel like I'm some kinda bump on the log or something. I'm not sure. But I do know that I *MUST* be doing something. Maybe I think this through much more better in the afternoon or evening or something. As it stands right now, I do feel a bit unbalanced and that's not good.

Stop being so unbalanced, Steele.

EPIC PLOTTING OF AWESOME! (DW EDITION)

Where are we gonna stick in Barricade getting ‘napped? And let us plow on and get these babies up! The archive is up to date again, now, so to read in temporal order, just poddle over to the Wiki. ^^
I dunno. I think most certainly before the thing with the Fallen ship happens.

Upcoming Posts (Fill in yours in order, as best you can, and edit the stuff relating to your character(s) accordingly)

Keep this section post-specific. No general subplots or prolonged musings, speculations, etc etc.

* Soundwave and Shockwave chat about sparks and emotion coding
* Shockwave is escorted by Megatron to Russia to steal a massive engine to power Digger, the latest mechanical beastie he’s working on.

*Optimus and Bee talk about Bee’s Fluxes
*Bee/Ratchet tells the whole crew about Bee’s problem right after Op and Bee talk OH YEAH AND MENTION MEGATRON HAS A DEATH WEAPON NAO GAIZ yeah he can’t use it yet but HE HAS IT AND WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT (Tuesday morning)

*Blaster tries to help Bee block the connection
*Barricade&Dusty attacks Shadow runner and Dipper and finds out that she doesn’t remember him/the activation codes for the weapon, he storms back to the Nemesis in a rage

*Tentatively thinking about having Cade attack Blue/Ray trying to draw out Shadowrunner again… gets Ironhide instead so fuck that yo
*Cade gets captured and there are about five hannibal lectures over the course of one day, him tearing down almost every Bot, leading up to him being released by Optimus

--Bit of a gap in time here--

(Saturday night)
*Scene with Ratchet/any others prepping Bee so he can’t go to sleep and ready to deal with whatever happens

*After that, Bee needs to go flip out a little bit about that just saying, prolly need Ratchet to repair him a bit
* Fairwinds talks Barricade into going on a ‘mission’ with her to steal a TV so she can have cable in Megatron’s closet.
* Megatron succeeds in blocking out the bond, at least for now.
* Megatron sends Serotype down to exterminate Bumblebee, confident that with the block in place it won’t effect him. Serotype doesn’t take well to the aftermath of this mission and defects. (Epic chase scene ensues. Shit explodes. Mark 3 gets accidentally left behind in the escape for someone to pick up. She goes in to hiding.)
* Serotype is hiding out in the desert
* She has a first fight with Dusty at some point and just manages to get out of that one. Because Cade set this fight up (and once again gleefully bounds across the Moral Event Horizon) which sets in to motion the following plot point
* Serotype (later on) sets up a trap to try and kill Cade. Dusty has a Big Damn Heros moment and saves him.
* Still wandering the desert. Gets in to trouble with an Eradicon search party. (She has been running in to them periodically, but this last one here is where she’s pretty much feeling entirely worn out so it becomes too much to handle on her own) She takes off running and finds Ironhide. The two fight off her pursuers and she turns herself in along with the offer to help Bee.

*Soundwave brings MindRazor online*

Plot Stuff I can’t seem to find a place for yet:

* Blue reunites with Ray and gives him the Cybertronian enhanced camera (With the rediculously bright flash)
* Cade decides to crash the party to fight Blue.
* Ray uses the camera to blind Cade to help give Blue an advantage
To Quote that chat where that was plotted:

*

Whitney Henderson says
Well Cade eventually needs to attack Ray to get Blue out in the open and to reunite these guys I think Zora and I are thinking it would be good if Cade kicked Blue's ass, but somehow Ray saved him from getting slagged

* The Fallen plot. (Somewhere in this, Blaster (as goaded on by Shadow) does something unethical. Messy-fun aftermath ensues)

* Gah.... Uh.... Okay. I wish I had saved the chat log where this took place but I believe it went something like Megs gets a hold of Mark 3 (after it got left behind and turned over to him) and decides to unleash it. [Insert shit happening here] Then Mark 3 gets exposed to Dark Energon [We’re going to call this one Mark 4. Thank you for mutating it, Megs] and it mutates making it worse and now capable of harming humans. (Megs wanting to harm humans with something viral was hinted at somewhere in They Might Be Giants.)

* Somehow, we were going to fit in Hide, Bulk and Dipper lobbing and Dipper having a spark to spark talk with Bulkhead.
* Actually Dipper’s talk could fit in nicely after the whole fight with Shadow and himself VS Cade and Dusty and I dunno... after he gets reprimand by Optimus for sneaking out.
Stick in Dipper/Bulk lobbing anywhere you like. ^^ Awesome. ^^ Now prepare for me getting really indecisive! XD All part of my cunning plan. Shwah! You’re evil! XD Now you’re going to make me Blue Screen! XD
*Ironhide is going to suggest getting Bee blind, stinking drunk as an alternative to a constant stream of stims. So that he can get SOME rest.
*Prime makes Ironhide acting 2IC at some point. (discussed this with Muse)
*Shockwave is terribly intrigued by the Eradicons’ development and takes the 33 drones left as a “control group” and begins to build them up and improve them as much as possible. Creating a super intelligent personal guard for himself. Also, will circulate amongst the other RadCons doing many of the same things, as well as turning them against Megatron by letting them know he wants them controlled. He’ll teach them the history of the war so they can see his hypocrisy for themselves. (I think that’s all I need to put on this one) Oh, and Steve is invited to expand his technical and medical knowledge once he gets over leaking himself in front of Shockwave. <3
*After Sniper “properly switches” to the Autobots, he bumps into Starcream, who tries to lure the spy back into his master scheme.
* Dipper is also going to be essentially hammered when whole still thing gets in to motion.... and blab his feelings to Shadow... AND NOT REMEMBER A THING ABOUT ANYTHING THE NEXT MORNING.
