Dear Vector Prime, I have the most important question:
Who can you ship with???
Dear Freight Friend,
In one universe where Megatron’s forces successfully overran Iacon and forced the Autobots off-world, I was forced to scan a new disguise so that I could slip past the orbital blockade and rendezvous with my allies—a humble cargo freighter! To make my escape, I registered myself with one of the many Mini-Con merchant consortiums who’d willingly allied with the Decepticon regime; even in times of war, dozens of short-range freighters and cargo tugs flitted back and forth between Cybertron and her moons every day, and not even the most paranoid Decepticon guard would pay any attention to one more vessel making a cargo run to Luna 1.
My new alternate form took some getting used to—my sublight engines were built for power, not speed, and I had to remember not to use my Critias Gateway, lest I give away my disguise! Fortunately, our great escape went off perfectly: Safeguard and Scorpia posed as my “crew”, and the bored Decepticon guards waved us through each checkpoint—even the most paranoid Decepticon guard wouldn’t suspect a grimy, battered old scow making a routine propex delivery to Helpful City. Once we berthed at the local spaceport, Safeguard made contact with a network of Mini-Con informants, who helped expedite our passage through Cybertronian space until I could safely shed my disguise and rendezvous with the Ark.
Alas, my memory circuits aren’t what I used to be, and I can’t remember which consortium I specifically shipped with. Swindle's Solutions? Erm…. Freeboot Express, perhaps?
