Gunwing meanwhile was in the main commanders room as he was analysing some blueprints on his data pad about different types of weapons. There was complex information about how each and every weapon works. Some work by precision, others by speed and a lot of them were based on accuracy. Gunwing clicked on the information of the recent psma guns that the people have made in the weaponry room. They were powered by small energon cubes that was mined from particurly the deep-caves which were known to be very dangerous as the Autobots were on a constant look out for any Intruders invading there.
Gunwing gnced at each of the records that some of the weapons. Some were given a red triangle (banned), others blue (needed to be reviewed by an authorised figure) and a bunch of them had a green triangle (cleared). This was a system made by Soundwave especially after the st few weapons almost killed their owner by accident and some made huge holes in vital parts of the ship. So Soundwave decided that the weapons had be to controlled under strict measures. Gunwing did hear that Soundwave and Shockwave debated about this method a lot due to the issues that came with it.
There was some footsteps was heard nearby as Gunwing turned around. There he saw Molotov and Haze, two not well known seekers. Haze was a azure blue seeker with dark grey seeker, who has a desire for attention and is known to be a little saner from the other seekers. Molotov was a red, white and banana yellow hardened seeker by the war but however was a talker. Gunwing hid just in case they were having a private conversation with each other. They looked around for a moment before deciding to talk to each other. Molotov crossed his arms as he said to Haze "So what happened with Firestorm?" Before Haze said to him "I have heard that Firestorm had injured a couple of Autobots and killed one during the mission. I also heard from Blueheat that Firestorm had heard a loud crash and heard the sound of gss shattering but he escaped afterwards to not hear all of it."
Molotov took interest in this fact as his face looked in consideration as he asked "So did the mission go well?" Haze nodded confirming the fact before saying to Molotov "Yeah, apart from a couple of injuries inflicted towards Bitstream and one of the Decepitcons having been heavily injured, they should be fine for now. Although the Autobots seem to be more cautious than usual." Molotov took consideration into what Haze said before asking again "Well what about Starscream or any sign of Megatron?" Haze soon shook his head before replying to the question "Nope. Last time Starscream was seen was 3 days ago. Still no sign of Megatron, it's been a month or so without him."
Both of them continued to talk but a lot more quieter now as both of them decided to leave. Gunwing couldn't hear the rest of the conversation but knew it must have been something serious. Soon Gunwing got out wondering what that was as his red optics looked around and saw a couple of blueprints on the tables. He went to the tables and gnced down at the information on them, it seemed to be about new weapons that were concepts to be used in the future. Gunwing saw some sketches about them and looked curiously before looking up and noticing something else that looked interesting.
There was a couple of boards that seemed to have information all about the recent events. With one of them having information about Megatron's disappearance. However other boards seemed to have information that Gunwing had never seen before. One of them were about the basement in one of the areas and another was a cave area that seemed to have a broken down machine. The final one however seemed to be about the Ark's old medbay. Now Gunwing did not know much about the Autobots but he did know that the old medbay was out of order for anyone to use. Gunwing guessed that it was going to be re-used for a new purpose. Ratchet never seemed to talk much about the old medical bay and always looked annoyed whenever it came up.
This was a guess because Ratchet was known to dislike broken things and always fixed things after they get damaged or were needed in fixture. And Ratchet was best known for his temper whenever injured bots came in and sometimes threw a wrench at the wall. Ratchet would constantly scold someone then decide to do a small mission to release his frustration out on. This rumour made the most sense considering how Ratchet acts but why was it on here? Gunwing looked curious before deciding to look at the other boards as well on what else has been included there.
There was an board with information about a couple of viruses such as the hate pgue, cosmic rust, transfomer paralysis and Ferin rain. Gunwing looked at each information of each virus. The hate pgue was known for causing mental changes while the cosmic rust disease had physical changes instead. Well the transformer paralysis was pretty well known as it was a paralysis that caused a transformer to be locked in their alt mode. However the st one seemed like a new disease because Gunwing hasn't heard of and based of the little information seen on the board, it had something to do with the structure of transformers mostly about the energon lines.
Gunwing was wondering about all of this, just who made this? Gunwing thought to himself. It was like someone was trying to make a whole conspiracy theory out of this whole thing. Gunwing decided it was time to get out of the room because he had been staying there for what now? A couple of minutes or so. He got out, closed the door behind him and went across the hallway wondering if anyone had seen the whole thing. He pushed the thought back in his mind since he was the only one there after Firestorm and Molotov had left the room.
Meanwhile Beachcomber had discussed the whole thing with Streetwise and Groove as they both nodded to him while Tracks had to leave. Streetwise crossed his arms before saying "So whatcha saying is that you both went out to that Decepitcon mine and found an machine covered in energon?" Beachcomber nodded in agreement as Groove and Streetwise looked at each other "Say, that whole thing is shady. Finding a machine that was in an abandoned area is no coincidence for sure." Streetwise said again as Beachcomber was having a confused look on his face as he gave eye contact to both of them.
"But why was it there?" Beachcomber asked wondering about it as Groove spoke up "Could it be a energon generation machine?" As Streetwise took in thought before saying "Yeah that is the only thing that comes to mind. But that doesn't answer the question on why it's so damn broken." Beachcomber reminded himself of the bugs that were crawling all over the machine. The three of them continued chatting as they each had theories on what happened there with the machine before Beachcomber remembered that he had forgotten to tell them about the rest of the things that were seen there. Beachcomber soon said "I forgot to tell you something." As they turned their attention to him curiously before Beachcomber took out the rusted bolts from his hands. Beachcomber continued to speak "I found these near the machine."
"You gave us a curious clue, Beachcomber. Those bolts look like no easy thing to screw in." Groove piped up as Streetwise nodded. There was dust all over the bolts and look to be big enough to fit into a complex mechanism. They examined it closely as Streetwise frowned at the implications while Groove's dull yellow optics looked quite worried. Beachcomber noticed that both of them looked tense which was unusual for both of them considering that both of them were usually quite happy bots. Beachcomber asked in a nervous voice wondering what their expressions are for "What's wrong? Did you realise something?"
Groove spoke up to them as his id back attitude had faltered and his voice turned serious "I seen mostly Decepitcon machines use those things." Groove crossed his arms and continued speaking "But I heard gossip that one of those Autobot machines use that as well. Sandstorm told me this." Streetwise soon spoke up afterwards "Sandstorm? The guy who tells rumours? You know that not every rumours he says is true right?" Beachcomber soon also spoke up getting a bad feeling "However I do think Sandstorm is telling the truth this time." Groove nodded as Streetwise shrugged and said "Just a assumption that I have."
They soon decided to rearrange the mission for tomorrow to go to the cave, especially to the area with the machine and the exotic crystal areas to check if any changes has happened. They all left as a particur Autobot was watching with curiosity. That was Prowl who had came back from checking the engines again to see the amount of damage inflicted on them. Prowl watched them leave as he decided to follow them tomorrow but there was time that needed to be considered. Prowl looked up seeing the bright light of the lightbulb, looks like Wheeljack had finally fixed the lights around this room after a long time.
The soft sounds of the ventition room was heard as Prowl felt the wind brush against his face, as sounds of his teammates could be heard chatting to each other. Prowl never usually had this much peace around himself, it was refreshing from the usual noises of battles and danger. Prowl optics soon saw the Autobot cleaner known as Kelven. Kelven was a unique transformer since he could only turn into everyday cleaning objects. He also had multiple modes such as vacuum, mop, a dustpan with wheels attached with a brush, a broom, a washing machine and any kind of cleaning object. Kelven's alt modes were so useless to the point that he was extremely unique. It was hard to cssify him in any category due to his special modes.
Prowl saw that Kelven saw him as Kelven waved before finishing the hallway before deciding leave to clean other pces. Prowl watched him leave before Prowl decided to look for any new news that were on the noticeboards. Prowl arrived at the main area and noticed mostly normal news such as the updates on Decepticon attacks. But there was a couple of missions there as well such as patrol missions, Air attack missions and battle missions which were mostly normal missions. But there was a mission that caught Prowl's optic as he ripped the paper off the board.
It was an mission about investigation in a forest area. Prowl was wondering why would a mission area would be involved there until he saw the information below. There had been reports of Decepitcon activity, energon crystals have been seen around there and strangely enough rge cybertronian footprints have been also pictured in the picture. Prowl wanted to do a solo investigation to see if the picture was really true or not as he decided to go another time since he has tomorrow to follow Tracks and his friends. Not just that but he also has to figure out what exactly happened to the engine room.
He put the photo in his sub-space as he slowly left as he looked around cautiously for a moment before going on. But he swore he felt the shadows watching him as he shook off the feeling for now knowing he has more important matters on his mind.
