Murder with spaghetti
***
"Hey, hey, Steve! Check this out!" Greg said enthusiastically while pulling the other drone into a side corridor. A few other Vehicons gave them a confused look but continued on their way.
"What?" The other one asked monotonically. "I'm busy. I need to scrub the floor in Lord Starscream's quarters until I can see my reflection from it, clear the bins in the med bay…"
"Yeah yeah yeah, but this is so much more interesting!"
Steve stared at his fellow Eradicon.
"Come on, it's one of the more serious ones out of Lord Starscream's data-pad compartment."
"What? You actually have one of those? Show me!" Steve exclaimed and snatched the magazine from Greg's servos. "Let me see…"
The two scooted away from the main walkways and flipped through the 'Simple & Delicious'.
Checking that no one was in sight, Steve cleared his voice box and read out loud: "'Fail safe way to do spaghetti'. Spaghetti? What's spaghetti?"
"Sounds like a way of killing, or a weapon."
Steve let out a snort like sound. Greg punched him in the side and beckoned him to go on.
"'To make al dente…'"
"Al dente? I don't want dents! Skip that part!"
"Oh, uh.. okay. Umm… 'To make sure it's done, take one out and..' What does it mean done? Like offline?"
"And take out what? A spaghetti? Will it attack you?"
"I don't know, maybe it will chew your helm off."
The two shuddered at the mental image of something jumping out of somewhere and just tearing them to pieces, Energon staining everything blue.
"Greg, I really think we should return this to Lord Starscream's quarters."
"Not yet…!" The other drone whined. "We need to figure out the rest. So that we know how to defend against… it."
Chattering echoed from the main corridor and the two Eradicons flattened themselves against the wall, hiding in the shadows and out of the reach of the dimly lit lights.
"Okay, I'll read the last part," Steve whispered and focused on the magazine. "… and ENJOY!"
Silence.
"Sooo…" Steve started, "I think it says that you can't defend against it, just to… enjoy."
"Enjoy what? It torturing you before killing you? No thanks!" Greg exclaimed and ran away in fear of it jumping out of the thing in his friend's servos.
"Hey! What am I to do with this?" Steve called after him, waving the magazine.
"Return it to Lord Starscream and pray that he won't use spaghetti on you!"
Steve's form visibly slumped.
'I'm so scrapped…'
Do. Not. Ask. This idea falls into the same category as "The Cactus". Best to leave it as it is.
By the way, 'Simple & Delicious' is a cooking magazine. ^^
