WHO: Ratchet and Ambulon
WHERE: At the border of the Badlands
WHEN Sometime at the very beginning of Part 2 of the Badlands plot
WHAT: Ratchet wakes up from a blackout on the edge of the Badlands and is promptly attacked by a creature. Ambulon comes to his rescue.
WARNINGS: Given that it's these two, there will probably be angst and cursing.

( bang bang )

WHO: Elita and a 25 feet long lamprey-headed critter of mechanoid centipede doom.
WHERE: Solus quadrant, close to the crystal forest and thus the edge towards the wilderness, but still well-within Solus' territory.
WHEN: Backdated to slightly before Elita's post here as that's when the fight's over.
WHAT: FIGHTING A BUG OF LAMPREY-HEADED DOOM.
WARNINGS: Violence, a bit of maiming. Rocket-launcher head-exploding bug-death.

She was still a few hics away from the crystal tree "forest", which had actually both shot up towards the sky and spread quite a bit from the heat, steam and minerals added from the vents and fissures that had opened as a result of the earthquake and the aftershocks, flooding Solus Prime's territory with heat.

It was obvious why Solus had warned any and all organics from staying out of the quadrant outside of the temple, and why she's warned anyone away from the vents and fissures. Elita had one off to her right, and even from this distance she could feel the pressure of heat against her side.

What had captured her attention while speeding towards the forest to make sure the latest aftershocks hadn't compromised any of the crystals was the view of said forest. Stopping at a rise, it was quite hard not to be taken by the play of light that the crystals caught even if it was dimmer here than closer to Prima's quadrant.

The largest of the crystals trees would now be able to securely hold a minibot... or maybe even herself even close up to the top, jagged, lacy structures reaching towards the twilight sky.

She should move on, but the heat and the view made it sort of pleasant to simply stand here.

WHO: Starscream and Jetfire
WHERE: The washrack/energon pools under Solus' temple.
WHEN: Around now~
WHAT: Cleaning up after killing some monsters! Simple.
WARNINGS: None

( Just wasting some time. )
