Target cursed his luck, seems this ‘simple’ secure & hold mission was falling apart and he would get blamed for it. As he flew at a height of 25,000 feet, his colour blending into a cloud above, he called upon the reserve units under his command for the operation. He had been given only 21 Decepticons to work with, of which he kept a quarter in reserve just in case things got sour. He left three with the jamming device, who were probably nothing but piles of scrap now, five at the location of the two pods of what seemed to be elite Autobots of some kind, one on a 'special recovery mission' given to him as Target didn't overly like him too much. The task involved looking for 'something special' in a distant digsite, away from the mission-zone, though Target simply sent him on a pointless goose chase as there was nothing of value at the digsite from Target's intel. Target had also established the last two Decepticons at the other downed pod. Speaking of which, what was going on over there?

Ignoring the calls for assistance from those at the hands of the two Autobots, Target turned his attention to the other downed pod. He saw the two nincompoops discussing on who should open up the pod, the cowards. As he was about to call them to rip open the blasted pod, he noticed something moving in on their position, 4 objects in fact. Upon closer inspection, Target realized that they were simple human tanks, probably some of the pro-Autobot humans as well. He barked sharply at the two fools as he saw two of the tanks break away, "Heads up, Hostile locals heading your way." He saw the two Decepticons alert themselves before heading for cover. One was unfortunate as a shell from one of the meatsac tanks blew a hole in his chest. Target sighed as he recalled two of the reserve units from his previous order, "Grite, Trash. Move over to objective B, hostile meatbags engaging friendlies. Shoot to kill." He silently wished he had some artillery to work with.

After getting a confirmation ping from them, Target decided to take a look at the unexpected presence of a cybertronian ship crash-landing near the battle zone as well. He had hoped that the reserves could secure the location before inspection but it seems he’ll have to enter into the vessel alone… This irritated Target as he wouldn’t be able to see the rest of the operation through. 

As he approached the downed vessel, Target noticed the ship gave no obvious identification markings. Was it another Autobot refugee boat, hoping that by having no ID markings would help them escape Decepticon wrath? Such ships usually had far too weakened crew to give any resistance, though something told Target this was not a refugee ship. He landed near the main hatch and tried to pull the door open. Upon failing that he started to look around for other openings that he can squeeze through.
