Reposted from here.

*CB pulls up a few of her maps - she's flown by and over Japan numerous times but in terms fo stopping there - well, that's something new for her. And rather exciting. Most of Japan's main cities are on Honshu, as well as lots of agricultural regions. As well as a string of dormant volcanoes. The densely packed cities offered power plants that could be an easy source of energon. With the right equipment the dormant volcanoes and the numerous hot springs were an energy source with great potential. But she isn't in charge of this mission so she keeps these thoughts to herself.*

[comm] *whistles* I feel like I'm talking to the air here. Now I think we should alter our course just a tad, there's a nice jetstream we can ride the tails of. Be far easier than fighting the wind and we'd get there that much faster and I'm sure our mighty leader is rather intimating that speed is of the essence here. We can ride through the Aleuts and coast down the Siberian coast and *bang* there we are. I assume we're pilfering the local power supply?

*Without waiting for an answer she alters her own course, moving to a bit higher elevation to catch the wind. She tends to ramble a bit at the mouthpiece, but that's ebcause she spends a great deal of time working alone with no one to talk to at all. :(. She's not much good at these raiding missions, but she'll do her best. They must have had some reason for sending her along, right?*

*He decided to make his presence known, as he imagined one more to help would not be a hassle. It may be more of a welcome to CB, and they could send Skywarp ahead to search out locations she thought would be good locaitons of energy while they fall behind.*

[comm: CB] Would you like some company then?

*Vertigo was quite a distance above her yet, but able to match her speed without any trouble.*

*Fortunately CB is not easily rattled so she takes a comm-call from what seems to be nowhere quite in stride. No sudden loss in altitude or veering erratically for this femme.*

[comm : (unknown 'Con)] Company is always welcome - at least to me. I can't speak for my charming companion but as for myself, well, when the trip is long the more the merrier and the faster the time goes! *laughs* Although I can't say I know who you are good voice from nowhere ...

[comm: CB] *chuckles* I suppose we only met in passing back at the base. I go by Vertigo, a seeker reformatted as a U2 spy plane to suit my function on earth. I was sent to join you two, since the other two seekers were reassigned.

[comm : Vertigo] Ah, that would be why I don't recall you - I spend little time at our lovely base of operations. And the U2 - how lucky for you, such wonderful views up there I'll bet! I've never seen anything above 15,000 feet, I am rather envious ... oh my, my audio projectors are running amuck again. Well, welcome to the party. A rather odd grouping, but maybe more effective?

*drops altitude some to be more in range*

[comm: CB] *Being able to fly this high does have it's advantages. But, that altitude gets too cold for my liking though. It does seem Megatron has become fairly short staffed on able seekers. Most have been restationed on Cybcertron and other deep space outposts. The rest have gone AWOL, for their own interests...

*The Seeker studied his scans and growled to himself.*

..oO( Am I cursed, or did someone stash that green menace Jinx in my subspace pocket while I wasn't looking? HOW did I draw an assignment with these two slaggin' slowbots anyway? )Oo..

*Skywarp idly pages through his operational data, reviewing the capabilities of the other fliers... and starts growling all over again.*

..oO( What tactical genius put the three of us together? That flying boat can't climb high enough to get out of the mud, and the useless-2 can't come down below a certain point before those ridiculous wings of his get pulled down by nothing more than simple air resistance. That means, as usual, I'm gonna have to do all the work here if we're attacked. )Oo..

*Bored and frustrated at cruising along at what was to him just above stall speed, the Seeker opened his comm*

[comm:CB/Vertigo] Would it help if I transformed and PUSHED?

Re: OOC

(Hysterically enough it might. The F-15C has a 68,000lbs max take-off weight. The PBY Catalina's max weight is 35,420 and the U-2's (with external fuel tanks) is 24,150. Even more ironic given that all three planes are roughly 63 feet in length. XD)

(( Also loves Warp's last comment. XD ))

[comm: Skywarp] That could be a start... besides having to watch you flit about impatiently.

Or... you could just go on ahead, and scope out some locations for us to check in the Japan and Tokyo area. Emphasis on "scope"... you're not to raid it yet.

Re: OOC

Thank you, thank you. *bows* And yes, please feel free to grab that for the quote page. XD

Speaking of stats.. I'm using the F-15A as my baseline, since it's the one that would have been out in the '80's when the show was on the air. That said...

F-15A

Weight: 56,000 lbs max.
Max speed: plus 1600 mph
Service ceiling: 65,000 feet

((Stats lifted from the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum aircraft reference book.))

With neither the Catalina nor the U2 able to go faster than 500 mph, is it any wonder that 'Warp is bored beyond belief? XD
