He felt a headache coming on and immediately averted his gaze from the screen as he waited for the dull pain to subside.
Forager looks from the computer to the bodies of the council.
“So… what were they trynna do, pluggin’ themselves into this thing?” he wonders aloud.
“Knowing them, it wouldn’t be that hard to believe…”
Slyther handed her the USB drive, shifting Backstop upon his back.
OOC: I literally forgot of Backstop. Thank you 3000 for saying that you got him.
IC: Manta took it and plugged it into the computer. Suddenly a loading bar would appear, as the computer was scanning the datas of the drive.
“It’s working!”
ooc: No problem 
IC:
Slyther watched the computer carefully.

After a while, the screen would display an extremely detailed map of the known universe.

Slyther whistled in awe.
“Well, that’ssss a lot of planetsss.”
Scaleraker carried his net over to Scylla’s, then sat down and got to work on hers.
“Rember, don’t move around once I cut an opening, we need to defer suspicion as long as possible.”
“Yeah…” Forager replies, equally awestruck. “All we need’s a ship, an’ we could go anywhere we want with this…”
“Guessss that’sss next?”
The map was so complex, so full of details, that there were likely planets that the survivors have never heard of before.
“What is… Gigantion?” Beetle asked, pointing to a planet relatively close of Cybertron.
The survivors might not even have the time to look at it, as the map quickly started focusing and enlarging on Cybertron, and then on Iacon…
“I got it…” Scylla whispered.
After her, Scaleraker would have to deal with Coelagon, Inferno, Blastcharge and the Units. He would also have to deal with Halfshell calling him over comms.
Scaleraker ignored Halfshell as he got to work on the other nets, telling them the same thing he told Scylla.
It seemed that the Vehicons were succesfully distracted by the three. Or at least by Weirdwolf and Sea Phantom. Every time the Vehicons were asking Snapper something he was freezing and had to be saved by the other two.
“Slag!” said Halfshell as he saw that Scaleraker was not responding. “OK, plan B.” he said, turning to Razorclaw.

“Hold on,” Forager says to Slyther. “What’s it doin’…?”
Scaleraker moved to the middle, then gestured to those still with nets to come close.
The map then moves around, south-south-west of Iacon, maximizing the image a little big more, before a red spot appearing on it, with a set of coordinates next to it and with another shot message: “Set destination: the Oracle”.
They did so, making sure not to distract the Vehicon’s attention.
@ProfSrlojohn
“The Preds knew where the Oracle’s been this whole time?” Forager reacts.
“No, scrap-head! It’s the program in Backstop’s mind!” Beetle said, pointing to the drive plugged into the computer.
“It probably is set on the Oracle because Backstop was searching for it…” Manta thought out loud.
Thinking that he saw something in one of the council member’s eyes, Drill Bit slowly approached him.
“What’ssss it doing?” Slyther hissed suspiciously, backing up a bit. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:4963, topic:49908”]
“Hold on,” Forager says to Slyther. “What’s it doin’…?”

“I don’t like it.” He hissed at Forager. “Ssssomething’ssss wrong.”
