It was mid-day at the maximal base by now. Calippus and Whiplash had been, or so they said, working on their ship all morning but Optimus hadn't seen any movement around it. The reason, they were both still sound asleep inside "The Avenger". Optimus finally let his suspicion take over.
"Optimus to Whiplash or Calippus" He spoke into his comm.
No reply
"Optimus to Whiplash or Calippus" He spoke in a louder, slightly annoyed tone.
Still no reply.
Now frustrated he stormed out of the base to find them. The two's record of obedience hadn't been the best since they had arrived. He tromped across the grass to the Avenger" and pounded on it's hull. Inside the two jumped from the noise, waking up.
"Oh Slag!" they yelled at the same time. Whiplash got up and ran across the room to the hatch and opened it.
"Yes Optimus?" she said meekly, stepping outside.
"Where the slag have you two been?" He questioned angrily "and what have you been up to, or do I want to know" he added.
"Um. In the ship (she pointed over her shoulder), to answer the first question." She paused
"And the second?" Optimus asked tilting his head slightly to the side.
"I guess we fell asleep." She said quietly.
"And why would that be?" Optimus asked in an interrogating tone.
~ Ut-oh he can't know about last night~ "um.....um..... Well...." stuttered Whiplash
"We were up really early" Calippus saved her.
"Right. If you're not telling me something, now's the time to come clean."
Whiplash and Calippus exchanged nervous glances.
"Rinox to Optimus." Rinox's voice over the comm interrupted.
"Optimus here go ahead." Optimus rubbed his forehead in disgust.
"We have a situation. I need you in the control room."
"Fine. I'll be right there." Optimus close the Comm link.
"You two come with me. I'll talk with you later." With that he turned and headed back to the Axalon.
Whiplash breathed a sigh of relief
"What are we gong to tell him?" Questioned Calippus as they started to follow Optimus.
"I have no idea." Whiplash replied.

"What's the situation?" Optimus questioned, stepping in to the control room.
"Lots of Predicon activity all of a sudden. Can't really tell what they're up to." Rinox reported.
"Hmm." Optimus watched the radar intently. There certainly was a lot of activity. The little blips on the screen moved all about.
"Can you get a visual?" He finally asked.
"Nope. Too much energon interference." Rinox replied.
"Alright. We'll have to send in a scout."
"Who should we call in from patrol?"
"Who's closest?"
"Well, Airazor and Tigatron should be close now."
"Right. Have Airazor fly over and report. I'll decide better what to do then."
"Will do. Rinox to Airazor"
"This is Airazor what's up?" Answered Airazor.
"Lots of Predicon activity near our position."
"Interesting."
"Yes very. Fly overhead and see what they're up to and report back. Be careful though."
"Will do Airazor out." The hawk flapped, gaining altitude and searched the area. Sure enough just west of her she picked up Predicon signatures. She glided in closer and perched on a tree to watch. The Predicons sure were busy with something.

"No you nimrod that! That goes over there!" Megatron was booming out orders.
"Yessssss. That's right." He rubbed his stubby t-rex hands together.
"Run this brilliant plan by me one more time." Tarantulas said to Megatron.
"For the hundredth time Spider, we assemble the high powered laser, fire it and it ignites the energon vein and 'BOM' bye bye Maximal base!" Megatron explained.
"And you're certain that this is the vein that only runs under the Maximal base?"
"Yes. Now GET BACK TO WORK!"

Airazor gasped in her perch. "I have to tell Rinox!" She quietly opened her Comm link. "Rinox to Airazor." She tried to speak quietly but she wasn't quiet enough
"What was that sound?" Questioned Megatron. "Go check it out Quickstrike."
"Right on Boss bot!" He headed off towards Airazor's perch.
"Rinox here what'd you find?"
"The Predicons are planing to. Aahhhh!" Quickstrike grabbed her from behind and held a hand over her mouth keeping her quiet.
"Airazor? Airazor what's going on?" She was helpless to reply.
"Well. Well. Well. Hey Boss-bot lookie what I found ya. A spy."
