#pouncing lessons: predlings on deck

To borrow a human term, the predacon pack is going on a 'field trip' today. Four small figures flap and twist through the air around a much larger, steadier form, their only flightless member perched cheerfully upon his back.

They have been sent forth with the Mission of scouting a wide stretch of wilderness, full of tall cliffs and deep canyons, fledgling scanners set to detect traces of energon or useful minerals, a task all six of them intend to accomplish.

(...in truth, they were sent off only on a thin excuse in order for the remaining Decepticons to be given some peace and quiet for a few hours, but that's beside the point.)

At a rumbled sub-vocal command from their leader, the pack dives towards the distant ground and separate, beginning their hunting mission in earnest.

Most predacons develop an internal combustion system to generate streams of fire or plasma blasts - but some, like Triple, go a slightly different route. Snick-Snack-Snuck is their full name, and each of the little hydra's heads produces a different form of breath weapon: scalding steam, poisonous smog, and freezing vapor.

It's Snuck, the head responsible for this third weapon, who insists on trying to creep as close as possible to the stranger who also smells like ice and frost.

There is a large metal-mesh tarp. There is, quite clearly, Something hiding beneath the lumpy folds.

From time to time, the Something giggles as it scoots 'stealthily' across the ground.

It's a dangerous day to be aboard the Decepticon flagship.

Why?

Because today is when pouncing lessons begin...
