I don't own anything once again; thank you Starseeded for going over this.

She, immediately became silent as she received Sixshot's information, finally she mused over what she had learned while monitoring all communication. It was logically impossible. Unicron did not exist. The femme dismissed Unicron, no matter how much deep inside her the icy dread told her why she was roused from recharge lately.

Turning to her computer, she quietly went to work. Her left hand flew over her arm as she tried to figure out a logical explanation to Hot Rod's information. Both hands then expanded the keyboard Soundwave was using. "Explain why Hot Rod was so far away from the Autobot base."

"I don't know," the questioned answered, "Do you want me to go back and ask him?"

"Negative. You are to come to me."

The assassin was more than happy to be on his way back to the base but a rumble in the ground made him stop to look down. "You send Skorponok out here?"

"Negative, Skorponok's location: East of the base."

"Perhaps it's just an earthquake then," He continued to wonder what the rumble was when he saw something the color of lava shoot up out of the large caldera and disappeared into the clouds. He had no idea what it was. It was smaller than him and looked like… well it looked almost like a giant bird. "What was that…?"

"Hey, Soundwave! Something has just ejected from Long Valley Caldera, and it looked like a big, Earth bird," Sixshot watched the thing disappear, wondering if it was on fire, "Should I go after it? Maybe it was that Autobot punk sitting on a geyser and he got shot into the sky. Now that would be fun." The mech snickered.

Ignoring Sixshot's prattle, the femme interrupted his thoughts of fun, "Your directive stands,"

With a heavy gust of air from his vents, he took off for the Decepticon base.

Soundwave went over the information plus what Sixshot had reported to have seen. The information she compiled was becoming disturbing. Hot Rod's recent information was turning ugly in every way with creatures that were supposed to be merely a Cybertronian legend, but if they were real…than that meant that the probability of Shockwave's master being Unicron went from slim to none to 99.9%.
