i did read NKs post initially but I never reread it to check for updates. Honestly too busy to keep up with 5 pages of posts before I even had a chance to join and had given thoughts to simply sitting the episode out since I partake no real part in it and life is just soooo busy atm. But with the current slowness I think I can participate to some extent, and merely take on a more active role in the next episode when I have less time constraints.

[Venatrix]

Any Maximals still at their home base?
I was hoping to put the little time i have to do this in my two characters at the moment.
I imagine Venatrix being taken out by the cloaked primal in the last ep, and was taking by the Maxi's.
If nobodies left at the base on Maximal side, i'll just have Valkyrie and Venatrix keep each other company till the next ep, where Venatrix will escape after she talked to primal and Dinobot.

[NaitoKage]

Nobody is at either base. Essentially BA was passed around by the girls a few times. as for Venatrix and Valkyrie.. we just kinda assumed they became lost in the wild.

[WorpeX]

The maximals have one less person than the preds, so if you want to join up, feel free.

[Venatrix]

Thanks for the invite, but my activity level is still not a stable factor.
I'll use my time to work on my characters without bugging others.
Besides, someone has to keep an eye on Venatrix

[NaitoKage]

hm? Keep an eye on her for what?

[Venatrix]

You haven't read my other posts, haven't you NS?
Venatrix was wounded on the battlefield by Primal's evil twin when i last posted for her in the last episode.
And along the way, the idea formed in the back of my head to have Venatrix wake up in a cell at the Maximal base, where she will have to face a few Maximals.
Perhaps in an attempt to interrogate her.
Heh, a short fight with Dino-dodo and/or Monkey-butt would be fun, but is perhaps a bit far fetched.
But she'll escape at the end.

[NaitoKage]

Eh.. half the time you post it's kinda vague and hard to follow, and Primal's evil twin never really interacted with Venatrix..

But from what I can figure, you want to Retcon Venatrix getting her butt kicked and being captured for something that happened two episodes ago, have a prison scene, then have Venatrix break out and escape.. though assuming by time line, that means Venatrix could of been in Maximal prison for weeks or months.. I'm not even sure what to think of that since it's hard to see Maximals keeping a prisoner that long, they'd probably put her into stasis and shove her in a stasis pod for the safety of the crew. (As Cybertronian practice with criminals or dangerous things.)

That also leaves what the Maximals would interrogate her about. If it's the golden disc's location and password, Venatrix might know the location at best. If it's something like their stolen personnel files, Venatrix wouldn't know anything about that since Megatron,Glowstick, and Steelclaw didn't share that stuff. So... yeah. There are some holes in this plan, but I guess if you really really wanna do something like that, it'd be up to OOP and the others..

Did Venatrix encounter the clone? I knew she was hiding in the bushes but that's about it. I just assumed we left her in the bushes lol.

[Venatrix]

When i last posted, Venatrix was in the open and about to give it a go, but i never had the chance to follow it through.
As for Venatrix not having anything useful to tell the Maxi's, is only for Venatrix and the other Preds to know.
Even the former second in command of the Predacon forces doesn't have a clue on how the chain of command changed since he "left".

And the last time i checked, the absolon doesn't have any stasis pods, as they where launched into space. And if it was that easy to keep someone in stasis as a prisoner, Megs would've never had the chance to convince Ravage to switch sides.

[NaitoKage]

Well it isn't that easy true, but I'm sure they would shove her in a pod.. most likely asking Icebreaker to freeze her if it was too troublesome..Secondly.. they are updated because Frilla joined the Maximals, thirdly the Axalon does have stasis pods because that is why Tarantulus and Blackarachnia broke into the stasis hold to reprogram a stasis pod to be used to escape the planet, but ended up being used by Optimus Primal to fly up to the Planet buster.

The only other information then that list they might want would be on Nemesis, BUT.. Venatrix doesn't know anything about Nemesis because she came in the episode after the Vok Primal one.

[Alak]

Wasn't that stasis pod acquired by Rhinox in the second to last episode? They chased it when it crashed but there was no life inside. He mentioned something about finding something useful for it, so I just assumed that pod and the one that Primal flew in were one and the same.

[Venatrix]

And you are correct fishy.
Will you continue the game, to hope to win a bag of cookies?

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Alak, I thought Rhinox found that blank protoform in the beginning of the second season, which they used to bring back Primal. Even if they found an empty one in the show in the first season, in our game the Maximals have plenty of empty pods now that they've gathered from their fallen comrades, so it works either way. But they'll need a blank protoform for Primal's return in season two. Once all of the pods fall from orbit, they should be able to find a blank one or two.

I don't remember OP's clone engaging Venatrix either, Ven. I remember her hiding the whole time, and he was near her when he fought Feralnight and Cheetor, but I seem to recall you vanishing at that point, ceasing to post anymore. In any case, if you're really going to have the time to come back and play a little more frequently, Ven, then I'd certainly welcome it. However, this game moves faster now, and if you keep falling behind and disappearing and then coming back a couple months later to rejoin the game every time, then you're going to drive me crazy.

So, here's what I propose. We can pretend that Venatrix had been badly damaged, whether it was the Vok clone or some other mission between her and the Maximals, or whatever. She could've been captured by the Maximals while she was unconscious or in stasis lock. The kind-hearted, merciful and wonderful Cybertronians that the Maximals are decide to take her back to base (maybe she was left behind by the other Preds), and lock her up in their brig. If her spark was in danger, perhaps they hooked her up to a machine to keep her stabilized, but whatever her status, she would be she restrained. And she would be unharmed, of course, because Maximals aren't cruel. ...For some reason Manterror thinks they'll kill everyone, which I love and laugh at everytime WorpeX posts that. As for where Valkyrie's been this whole time... Maybe she's just been aimlessly wandering around the planet and finally comes back to the Axalon. I don't know. But that's what I would allow, Ven, if you don't just want Venatrix to pop back in with the Preds and hang out at the Darksyde while the others are out and about in the current OC episode.
