You land on the platform as it descends.

Reaching the bottom, you see an impatient Dinobot snarling, one of his long toe claws tapping the ground enough to chip away a small spot on the ground. You immediately take to the air.

"About time."

"Sorry, just letting the ape know we're headed out." You flap your way closer to Dinobot. "So what's the plan?"

"We head out a few clicks and begin circling around the base; you from the air while i search from the ground. Each time we complete a full sweep, we extend our search."

"Thorough." You say with a bit of a yawn.

"Better to be thorough and certain, than to be lazy and complacent." He snaps back.

"Fair enough. Oh, the boss says that Airazor and Cheetor are out and about and we should meet up with each of them while were at it."

"Let us focus on the task on hand. This last incursion could only be the first sign of an impending assault on our base or part of an ongoing plan to catch us off guard."

Boy this lizard sure does have a one track mind.

>Follow Dinobots instructions, and begin your sweep of the surrounding areas

You take to the air and being circling above as Dinobot heads out a towards the outer areas within line of sight of the base's defenses.

"Anything I should be looking of in particular? Kind of new to this and I'm not exactly familiar with the scenic view yet."

You're greeted by a low snarl over the comlink, "Report any unnatural features: cybertronian alloys, unusual rock formations, anything that seems oddly placed or looks like it was moved."

Setting your scanners to search for cybertronian alloys is a simple enough task. Helps you keep track of Dinobot at least. He seems to be following what looks like an established path ways.

As the two of you complete the first sweep, the two of you confirm that there's no sign of any suspect activity.

"Move out another 50 clicks to the next sweep."

"You got it." You have to admit, so far this isn't exactly the most stimulating of activities. Running sensor sweeps on the terrain with a less than conversational partner makes for a dull mission. Not that you had anything else planned. But it does beat getting shot at.

You continue searching when you notice a cave in the southwest. "Got an opening on a cliff side."

"On my way."

Flying closer you look around the out side of it. No sign of foot traffic, but that doesn't mean there couldnt be fliers utilizing it. Upon Dinobot's arrival, he begins looking over the area and near the entrance.

"This cavern is a natural occurrence. Still, I'll have Optimus send the cheese eater to clear it with demo charges." He continues to look inside the cavern, sniffing at the ground. "Proceed to the next scanning zone."

"Will do." You glide away, moving further out. The area is growing to be less rocky and more vibrant with life. Might make things hard to notice. You maintain your sensors but you get the idea there's not much of technology out this way.

As you proceed with taking in the natural beauty of the world, you get the idea that you might be within comlink range of one of your fellow Maximals. Of course you might miss something out here while doing so or worse you may end up leaving yourself open to a potential Predacon assault. Of course, you might earn Dinobot's ire if he catches you as well; he seems like the by the book type.

>Continue scanning the area, like Dinobot wants

You continue your scan of the terrain. Occasionally you move lower in the areas with far more
flora, to keep better sight on the actual ground. Things still seem quiet out here.

"Dinobot to Nightracer"

"Here."

"Rattrap and Rhinox are en route to the cavern to ensure it's legitimacy. I've began my rotation on this area. Status report."

You shrug. "Things on this side are clear. How ever the Predacon's have been gaining access to Maximal territory, I doubt geographical."

"Hmm, perhaps some sort of 'cloaking' technology or a signature dampening device..."

"Like mine."

"Possibly. We will complete this patrol and report back to the Axalon. From there, we'll determine what to do next. DInobot, out."

An interesting possibility. You didnt think anyone else on this planet had the same abilities as you. Now that you've mentioned it you havent been using your Tactical Cloak while out here.
Well so far there hasn't been any need for it. You look over the area, and before rising up into the air, your sensors detect fast movement from the north. Using the tree line as cover you move around to obscure yourself.

"Heads up lizard lips, we've got a incoming and fast."

"Grrrr...on my way. Do not engage until you know what you're up against."

With a roll of your eyes, you land on a tree and activate your cloak.

"That's the plan."

You adjust your photo receptors to follow the movement but it's quick. Using your feathers, you try to move from tree branch to tree branch to keep visual.

"Status report."

"Still just out of range. Moving in closer."

You determine that you have to fly in closer towards the anomaly otherwise you'll lose sight of it. Your wings keep from making any noise making it all that easier to keep your eyes on the prize. As you look at it though, you start recognizing what it is: Cheetor. You know he was supposed to scouting further out in this region, but something seems to have him spooked. You're scanners aren't detecting anything else in the area.

Hmmm...

You flap your wings harder, picking up speed to catch up with the cheetah. You are filled with an urge to maybe give him a spook, but you think that this might be important.

"What the heck has you running like a kitten clawed the curtains?"

Cheetor comes to a screeching halt as he hears his comlink come alive.

"N-nightracer? Where are you?" he pants out.

You drop your cloak and glide down towards him, "Dinobot, its Cheetor. Rally on our position."

"Oh, h-h-h-hey there. Gl-ad I fou-nd some-one."

"Breathe, kid. You've seen a fembot before right?"

"Huh? Oh. S-sorry. Cheetor Maximize!" the cat transforms standing over you as he puts his hands on his knees. You back up your owl form and flap your wings a bit to give the kid some air.

"Now tell me whats going on."

"Over in Grid Epsilon. Found Scorponok and Black Arachina. They were arguing about something. They were walking towards a cliff side and then just vanished!"

Dinobot in his beast mode comes charging through the forest. For a larger bot he moves pretty quick. "What is the situation."

You turn to him. "Looks like you're gut was right. Cheetor found where the Predacons are sneaking in from."

"Or one of them atleast. Its in Epsilon. South of where Tigatron's usual patrols are."

Dinobot's large toe claw starts tapping against the ground as he tilts his head. Seems like he's formulating a plan.

What do you think you should do?

>So whats the plan, Big D? (yup i went there)

"So whats the plan, Big D?"

This pulls Dinobot out of his thoughts for a moment as he just shakes his head. "We'll head back to where Cheetor found the entrance. From there we will determine exactly where it goes. If we encounter the Predacons, we'll bury them under the cliff."

"S-shouldn't we tell Big Bot?" Cheetor says.

"Unnecessary. He knows we're out here and we'll deal with it."

Sensing Cheetor's uneasiness and his exhaustion, you give him a quick wink. "Nice job kid."

Thats all it takes to renew the youngster's spirit. "Right! Lets got then! I'll take point then. Beast Mode!" Cheetor goes back to his cat form and turns around, not with the same speed, but with enough of a bounce in his step.

All too easy with him.

The three of you proceed towards Epsilon but you take this moment to stay low and closer to Dinobot. "So, what can you tell me about these Predacons?"

"Weren't you briefed earlier upon your joining the Maximals?"

"Well yea....by the rodent." You give him a dead pan stare with a side of cocked eyebrow.

"Hmmm, very well. What do you want to know?"

"How about you start with the Predacons in question? Scorp-whatever and Black something?"

"Scorponok was part of the original group of Predacons that Megatron had with him. He's essentially his second in command." He takes a moment as he does that snarl. "While he may be a semi-competent warrior, he is a fool and incompetent at everything else."

"So lots of fire power, little brains. Got it. Anything else?"

"He follows Megatron's orders to the letter. Use that to your advantage."

Hmm, almost sounds like the ant. Ugh, you don't need a repeat of that.

"And the other one?"

"Black Arachnia. My personal experience with her is limited. She was a Maximal protoform that was reprogrammed by Tarantulas. He clearly had his own agenda remaking her in his image."

"And what image is that?"

"A mad scientist lunatic. Watch your back if you ever encounter him."

This makes you wince. "Rattrap made a comment about her being similar to me."

"Heh, probably the she spider is also a manipulator, preferring subterfuge as opposed to the direct approach."

"So I dont suppose they're anything like Waspinator?"

"Ha! I fail to believe anyone is like Waspinator." the raptor just shakes his head.

Cheetor chimes in from ahead. "Hey we might want to keep it down. We're getting closer."

>Remain in beast mode and scout the entrance.

The three of you start sneaking in closer, remaining in the wooded area. There's a sizeable clearing between the cliff and the wood and judging from the tree broken tree trunks, the clearing was created unnaturally.

"Where precisely is this entrance, Cheetor?" Dinobot hisses. His larger beast mode makes it tricky for him to be inconspicuous so he has to stand a few meters back from you and the kid. You've chosen the high ground while Cheetor is lying close to the ground.

"Over this way a bit more. Where there's less brush."

You hop over from branch to branch, not seeing anything. "You sure about this?"

"Its being hidden by a projector of some sorts."

Dinobot looks over the area. "Nightracer, scout it out. Keep an eye out for any traps. Keep your eyes open for any sudden movements."

"Right."

"Got it."

You glide from your forest canopy cover to the other side, landing on the other side of the cliff. Your eyes scan the area and take notice of the strange tracks that disturbed the ground straight into a wall. Hoping still, you move down lower to the side of the would be entrance, using your wings as a guild to determine what parts are actual stone and what part's the projection.

You almost lose your footing when you make your latest jump, part of the foothold is in the projection and you bounce back. You look around to see if there's any other signs of Predacons. Its quiet and there doesnt seem to be any strange movement.

So far, so good.

"Talking a quick look inside."

"Copy." Dinobot replies.

You pop you head into the illusion and look inside. The lighting is poor but your beast mode was meant for nocturnal conditions. It appears to be less of a cave and more of a tunnel; this looks like what you've been searching for. You dont notice anything unusual about it, aside from the unnatural light source wired along the sides of the tunnel, until you look down and notice a motion trip laser near the entrance. Fortunately for you it seems only to be on the ground.

>Roll to attempt to disarm the trap

"Nightracer, Maximize."

You transform and hover your robot mode above the trip device. You look it over and as you're about to mess with it, with a few wire cutters you notice a cleverly hidden secondary trip. Its meant to send a signal if the device is moved or tampered with.

"Cute. Nightracter to maximals. Gonna need an extra second with this."

You get to work around the secondary trip, disabling it before placing a prism to counter the trip beam. It seems that this alarm was specifically set up to inform the Predacon's if anyone entered. Well for now, you and your partners have the element of surprise.

"All clear boys. Hold all applause till after the mission, please."

Dinobot and Cheetor enter the door way as you move back out of the way,

"Whoa, smooth moves Nightracer."

"Lets get on with it. The Predacons have a large lead and we need to determine where this path leads."

You transform back into your beast mode. "Why not just set charges and destroy this entry way?"

Dinobot shakes his head. "Better to have a another way out than to end up trapped inside." He gestures towards the tunnel. "Besides, it'll be better to set charges through out and detonate them closer towards the center and eliminate the one by our base. This way, we can set up our own counter measure should they try to re dig their way through."

You look around the tunnel. Its roomy enough for Dinobot and Cheetor to walk side by side but only enough room to fly straight in the tunnel and hardly enough room to maneuver should you fly.

Seeing that you'd be at a disadvantage in this tunnel, you decide its time to put your charm to use and who better than the kitty.

"Hey Cheetor, it'll be tricky for me to fly in here." You tilt you head towards him, laying it on thick. "Would you mind giving me a lift?"

"Y-yeah! Um go ahead and climb aboard. When ever you need." He gets close up to you and leans himself down to allow you easier access. You plop on him a little rough, sitting side saddle as to not dig your talons inside. As Dinobot gives you both a look, Cheetor clears his throat. "Um I mean, its cool."

Dinobot just looks at you, but you're busy getting comfortable on your new mount. "If we're ready to proceed."

"Of course, lead the way."

The three of you move forward down the tunnel, Dinobot has you scan the tunnel for anything up ahead, which thanks to your owl's neck allows you to maintain a clear view without sacrificing comfort. Its surprising the lack of defenses in here. You think that they might have been assuming that no one would find this place.

As you proceed, you reach an unforseen obsticule: a three way fork in the road.

Dinobot seems to be looking at each trying to determine which way to proceed. As you look over your cat transport, you noticed there are tracks intersecting all three path ways. Cheetor moves up.

"Maybe we should split up? Each of us take a look down these paths?"

What do you think?

Smells like a trap, but well, splitting up seems like the best option regardless.

That being said urge caution, this seems like the kind of setup we'd make for a back up plan in case someone slipped the perimeter defenses.

Expect traps, or even an ambush.

Alright i need you all to chose a path

As you notice Dinobot considering the plan you chime in.

"Smells like a trap, but well, splitting up seems like the best option here."

Dinobot nods. "Very well. Dinobot, Maximize." And the dino transforms.

"Nightracer, Maximize." You say quietly. You proceed to transform on Cheetor, making it a bit awkward on him as your robot form is now sitting on him. You scritch the top of his head.

"Thanks for the lift, kiddo. I think I can take it from here."

Cheetor stretches a moment, before transforming. "Su-sure no problem."

You give him a wink as you strut past him to where Dinobot stands. "If there's no complain, I'll take the Center Path."

He nods. "Very well. I'll take the Left Path and Cheetor, take the Right."

"You got it." He draws his weapon as Dinobot continues.

"Be mindful for any traps. These two are scheming treacherous cowards."

"If you encounter any of the Predacons, We should not engage immediately. Call the group and we'll eliminate them together." Cheetor adds, while addressing all of you, seems more directed towards you.

"Got it. Lets head out."

Each of you head towards your respective tunnels.

How do you wish to proceed?

>Activate Tactical Cloak

You proceed to start down the path disappearing with a shimmer, with hardly a sound. Your infiltrator skills keep your movements and servos from making a sound as you head down. With your night vision, you notice the tunnel is clear...very clear. All debris has been been cleared from ground. You cant help but feel like something isn't right and most likely, this isn't the right path.

You keep moving forward when you noticed there's a turn to the left. It seems like there's a soft glow of a light emanating from that direction. You proceed with caution as you hug the corner. Taking a peek you notice there's a sizable device in here and hit looks to have a drill on the end of it, with cutting lasers around it. What are they doing for down here; making another tunnel to the Maximals? Not likely? Wouldn't this run into the other tunnel Dinobot would be in?

You move closer to get a better look, when you hear a beep coming from where your foot is at. Damn, you missed one. A blue energy web net deploys and binds you, causing your cloak to start shorting out. Slag! Well if they didn't know you were here before, they do now. The net starts shocking you and you start feeling your energon levels starting to be drained.
You whip around using a few sharp points of your robot form and the talons to start tearing the net to shreds as you free yourself.

You use the wall to hold yourself up as you breathe heavily, you notice that your cloak has dropped. Looking around you dont see anyone else around, so you try to reactivate your cloak.

Success! Fortunately you weren't in that trap long you dont feel like you took to much damage but now you know that these traps can be down right nasty.

What should you do now?

>Use your comlink, see how the others are doing
>Investigate the area and see if you can determine what they were doing down here

"Nightracer to group. We have a situation."

"Copy that, Birdgirl!" Cheetor exclaims. The sounds of blaster fire and a few small explosions in the background. "Found shell head."

"This is Dinobot, I'm on my way Cheetor." there's a brief pause. "Nightracer what is your situtation?"

"Um well, I triggered some sort of net trap. Minimal damage, but i found some sort of digging machine."

Dinobot snarls. "I'll assist Cheetor. Does it appear to be the way they're getting into our terriroty?"

"Doesn't look like it."

"Find out for sure and dispose of that machine. Once thats completed, regroup on our position."

"Got it."

You start looking around the area to see if you can figure out what they were looking for down here. Running a few scans of the the rubble and you detect trace amounts of energon in the area, along with iron deposits. If you had to theorize, you think they were looking for greater materials for their war effort. You begin to wonder if finding a route to the Maximal was a mistake or if this deposit was a suprise blessing.

As you look around you notice a medium side container. Giving it a once over you notice its not locked and decide to open it. Hmm, a some energon crystals. Stable ones, too. This might be useful to take or to use when demolishing the area. You do recall Dinobot said to destroy the machine. The explosion would destroy the container with it and its a bit bulky for you to carry on your own, especially with Predacons in the area.

>Try to rig the machine to blow up
>Keep the energon

You take a look at the digger. You're not quite sure how to tamper with industrial machines like this, but you figure you could give it a shot. But first, you grab the crate you found with the energon cubes and move it down the hallway you originally came down. Leaving it what you hope to be a safe distance from the machine, you turn back and resume you're attempt.

You try determining where to start, over looking the controls, and proceed to break a few of the levers while removing a face plate to the wiring underneath. Pretty sorry construction, but Dinobot did say the scorpion was incompetent. You grab one of your reserve plasma cells ammo and jury rig it to blow. You hope it'll work.

"Dinobot, I'm heading over."

"Copy. We're almost done here." You hear an explosion with a bit of a scream in the distance. You start running back to where you can get a clear shot with your sniper rifle. You take aim with your rifle.

"Well what do we have here?"

You turn to spin your rifle when a strange hook smacks you in the chest and yanks your rifle out of your arms. As you shake off the daze you notice a black and gold figure reloading their weapon. Your rifle is between the two of you.

"Looks like I found a lost little birdie." The voice cackles. "You must be the one that Waspinator wont shut up about."

Well, slag.

You find yourself in a tough position. A Predacon has gotten the drop on you. Your weapon is a bit out of reach and attempting to retrieve means risking damage. The other Maximals are not far and should be on their way shortly, but can you hold out/stall long enough. Of course, you also have those energon cubes, maybe thats what she's after and you could cut a deal.

What do you want to do?

With the boys not too far you figure stalling for time would be best. Plus this could be a good chance to try to get her to spill the details of the Predacon's real purpose being down here. But wait a second.

"Interesting operation you've all got going on down here."

She scoffs. "Like you could even grasp what you've stumbled upon."

"I know it involves some energon cubes and iron." you gesture towards the container with the cubes inside.

"And here I thought it was only cat's that curiosity killed."

"So mining for materials was your real plan? Not just sneaking into Maximal territory."

"Just a perk to the fruits of our war labors." The female Predacon took aim with her gun. "Pity you wont be around much longer to appreciate it."

"Hold one parsec, Waspinator's been talking about me? What'd he say exactly?"

Blackarachnia seems taken aback by the comment. "Are...are you serious?"

"Color me curious."

She shudders for a moment. "He wont stop buzzing about you. Bird bot this, bird bot that. Dumb Tigerbot. Ugh, its sickening."

Hmm, you were honestly expecting more. "Thats it?"

"I don't stick around long enough to listen to his to his incessant whining."

"He does that alot?"

"What do you think?" she narrows her eyes with a wicked smile. "Pity our little tunnel didnt aid us in getting to your pod sooner. Would've saved the bug a lot of trouble had he reprogrammed you."

"One of your bugs did reach me. Real pity was your 'royalty' did send someone competent."

"Heh, serves the saurian right for sending a bug to do an arachnid's job."

"You think you could've done better?"

She cocks an eyebrow. "Reprogramming you? Easily. Or are you saying your still interested in hearing our sales pitch?" She takes a few steps towards you. "Perhaps a Maximal prisoner might salvage the lost of the operations here."

It seems like shes consider her options. You think that if you can stall just a bit more the Maximals will turn that corner guns blazing. Of course, this is an interesting prospect. Infiltrate the Predacon base? See whats up? Sneaking out shouldnt be too difficult. But can you trust her? She hasn't shot you, well not in the traditional manner. Still she doesn't seem to be too much like Waspinator and Dinobot did warn you about the 'spiders'. What should you do?

>Stall just a bit longer

>Cloak and disappear

You feel confindent that this spider's guard is down. And it your oppertunity to strike. As she gets closer, you activate your tactical cloak.

"Wha-" she whips her head around looking for you as she attempts to take aim at anything. You use this oppertunity to knock her backwards, legs over abdomen with an oomph. Scanning the area, you quickly move to grab your downed rifle and sprint towards the way you came in.

"Nice high heels, by the way!"

You think you can barely make out a really confused, "What in the inferno?!" followed by a screeching cry of frustration.

You take a quick left at the intersection where you and your partners came in from and slam into something. Attempting to shake off the cobwebs, you notice you're not on the ground but on a yellow and blue bot that broke your fall.

"Cheetor! What happened?" you hear Dinobot snarl.

"Ow. I ran into something. Or something ran into me."

Heh, well looks like they weren't too far away after all.

>"Hey watch it Kitten."

While this is prime moment for you to bully the kid further into submission, you're smart enough to know when to pick your moments. You drop your cloak, climb off Cheetor.

"Thank the matrix. We've got spider problems. Think it might be time to cut and run." you extend a hand to your ally. Cheetor accepts the hand, as you teasingly add "By the way, watch those hands, Kitten."

If robot's could blush....

Cheetor quickly regains his composure. "But we haven't found the route to the the Maximal base yet."

Dinobot does his distant stare thing. "While retreating is not my personal taste, it maybe better to fallback and regroup for now." As he says this, the three of you each starts noticing your body sparking.

Energon build up. You have been in robot mode for awhile and if there is energon deposits down here, its probably best to heed Dinobot's assessment.

"The Predacon's may abandon this location now that its been uncovered." he continues. Just then he turns around, as his eyes begin to glow. He fires a series of eye beams at the ceiling of the tunnel they just exited; the makings of a cave in.

The three of you proceed to transform back into beast mode.

"Time to bail!" Cheetor says. The three of you start back down the way you all came in, when you see Blackarachnia back at it with her spider legs spread out like she's pointing them in your guy's direct-oh.

A hail of erratic machine gun fire scatters around you and your friends. Guess she wont be sharing her tailor's com channel anytime soon.

You're attempt to make your escape from the collapsing tunnel was less than...well.

Yourself and two other Maximals were on your way out when Blackarachina managed to recover and opened fire upon you. On the plus side her shots went wild when a part of the roof fell upon her. Shame it didnt stop all her shots, a few hitting you causing you to spin out of control. While you're uncertain of the safety of Cheetor and Dinobot; one thing was certain you had to resort to stasis lock.

"Ouuuuch." The rocks on top of you have you pinned. You can hear the sound of rumbling from rocks nearby. You're not in good shape, definitely in no shape to fight and there's no telling who's out there.

"Hey...um, Little help?"

You're not quite sure who's digging through the rubble but who know's? You sure you can figure a way out of it.

You hear a muffled voice. Trying to put a face to the voice. You're pretty sure it's the Predacon female.

"Um, could you say that again?" you ask.

A larger boulder gets moved away from above you and you turn your head to look above. Its Blackarachnia and she looks the way you feel right now.

"Ugh, figures your smartass would survived."

She is in a better position at the moment: she's transformed, but you dont see her gun, she's looking roughed up pretty bad, and you feel like you just took on an entire dreadnought on your own.

>"Look, we're both in a bad way; how about we cut our losses and just go our separate ways?"

The two of you lock eyes at each other in an uncomfortable silence for a brief moment. As you break contact to look down at her legs.

"Seriously, killer boots. Who's your tailor?"

"Uuuughh! You're insufferable." The spider shakes in anger. Though she cocks you a smile back. "Of course, nothing a little cyber venom wouldn't fix. I can just drag you back to base and 'refit' you with a matching pair since you like them so much."

So much for girl talk. Time to be serious.

"Look, we're both in a bad way; how about we each cut or losses and just go our separate ways?"

She looks away from you for a moment, as if she's assessing her situation. Atleast giving it some modicum of thought, before she looks back at you.

"Fine. Truce."

"You're not gonna back shoot me right?"

She chuckles, "I like to keep my options open."

You give her a dead pan expression.

"If I was gonna shoot you birdbrain, i would've done so by now."

"Nightracer, ah. Maximize."

You transform to help get yourself out of this pile of rocks. Blackarachnia backs away, with a bit of a defensive stance. You dust yourself off as you try to push rocks off you and out of your way. You look at the exit, concerned for your comrades.

"So, tell me this wasn't the only way out?"

"It was the closest way." She looks over the area.

"What about the other three ways?"

"Well the center you've seen. The left side is....something. And the right side."

"Now's not the time for games."

The spider turns away from you. You feel that you need to get her to be truthful so you make a gamble.

"I wouldn't recommend using your mining driller." She turns back to you. "Kinda rigged it to blow and we don't need anymore explosions."

"Terrific. There goes that idea."

Hmm, well you didn't destroy it. And she's supposed to be good with her hands, er, claws, whatever she has.

"Which one is the tunnel to the Maximal territory."

"The left side. Thats where i was about to get the drop on the traitor before shell head ran into the tabby."

>Great. Thats all you needed to know. (try and knock her out)
>Lead the way (make sure she doesn't lead you in a trap)
>Well good luck to you (dig your way out here)
>Wait, what about the right side?

>Lead the way (make sure she doesn't lead you in a trap)

"Left side. Very well. Lead the way."

"Thought you said we were heading our separate ways?"

"I want to make sure you didn't plan on sending me into a trap."

She turns to face you. "You're not as foolish as you look."

"I'm a people person."

She scoffs. "Right."

The two of you start heading down the left pathway. Like the other areas you notice the area has been cleared and lit up.

"So were you in charge of this little operation?" You're not exactly sure how long this tunnel is, so you figure a little small talk wasn't out of the question.

"Like i said, the Saurian insist on overlooking talent. The shell head was put in charge here, though it was the ant that discovered it." She mocks. "An expansion to the colony. Gimme a break."

"So it wasn't some grand scheme?"

She turns to you with raised eyebrow. "Those energon cubes and some of the planet's raw materials were the initial purpose. A fresh supply to keep the war machine going as it were. But the ant had his own ideas. Kept digging around, creating additional tunnels. Wasn't so bad at first; found plenty of energon that way, until he stumbled into your new chums territory."

"Interesting." you think about it more. "So then my pod..."

"An almost lucrative bonus..." she just shakes her head. "Almost being the keyword."

Hmmm, You didn't realize you were such a prize pickup. Well you knew you were a big deal but this only confirms how desirable you know you are. Heavy that wears the crown and all that.

"So, just out of curiosity what is Pred life like?"

"Why so interested?"

"Well you were a Maximal protoform, just like me, right?"

"Not entirely. Besides, if I had to guess being a Predacon fits me fine."

"Even if you're surrounded by dimwits."

She hesitates, "Their lack of intelligence can permit me...opportunities. For advancement as well as subtle manipulations." She turns to you, "Spiders and their webs."

"Sounds like you've got them eating out of your hand."

"Not nearly as much as you do with Waspinator."

You pause for a moment. "Uhhhh..."

"Oh please. The way the bug buzzz about you, if you had joined the Predacons, you'd be working the room establishing your own power base worse than Terrorsaur."

That being said he was adorable, in a weird sort of way.
