Authors Note: Yellow! Hows it goin? I want to say thank you to all that have read and reviewed this story. Also thank you for all the favorites and follows, I have never gotten so much mail! It feels nice to get a bing of incoming message on a bad day. I'm sorry that you have to wait so long between updates.

A special thanks to my editor who has to deal with people that are crazier than Howling Mad Murdock, and still manages to be as sane as Hannibal Smith. Which, now that I think about it, tends to be a little less than sane… Hmmm. Thank you Crazy Mental for the idea bouncing. Without you this would be dead. Like realllllllyyyy dead. Pushing up daisies. Singing with angels. In a trunk in a truck, kinda dead! So thanks.

Thank you Andromeda Alpha for getting the MErlin half of that reference in chapter Eight!

BTW this is shorter than others. Did not notice till later… Sorry. PS BTW The truth is out there. And so am I for that matter. Stay whelmed and run!

Soundwave feels the urge to slam his helm into the wall repeatedly. Did that voice have to mention Jasper, Nevada? Did it? Knowing that failure to to show this to Starscream would end badly, he reluctantly walks to the other mech. What he really felt like doing would probably end in imprisonment or offlining. Sighing silently, to himself, he plays the recording to Starscream, praying to Primus that Raf would not be involved. Starscream sends out two vehicons, ordering them to find and destroy the Autobot. Soundwave walks away, his bit of work here done. Now he had to go and organize the reports and other documents that were in relation to the Cliffjumper and explosion of the mine incident. When Soundwave had first heard of Starscream killing a captured Autobot, he had wanted to violently tear the wings of the seeker , and then chuck him the edge of the ship. Seriously! That both probably had information on where their base on Earth was. Even if the bot refused to talk they still had ways of retrieving the info.

Soundwave works diligently, hoping to finish this massive amount of work soon. Silently, he cursed the need for such organization on the ship. If he knew he could trust them to get it right, he would have gladly tossed the work to a couple of vehicons. Seeing as he did not however, Soundwave proceeded to do all the work himself. Lazerbeak scolds him for his distrust in the troops below him. He silently reminds her of of the time he had allowed vehicons to be in charge of organizing of files. She backs off remembering the epic mess that had been made, one that crippled the cpu of all who looked at it except for Soundwave. Lazerbeak had no idea how the vehicons had managed it. No idea.

Half an hour hour later Soundwave notices another transmission that is of interest. IT's from one of the Decepticons Starscream had sent out. After listening closely, Soundwave feels fear pool in his processor. A human had gotten involved. If somehow Raf has gotten mixed up with the Autobots, he would never sleep peacefully again. Raf could be killed very easily by the bots or the cons. Not even purposefully! Soundwave stalls his instinct to start pacing back and forth like some cat trying to figure out how to catch a light that is high on the wall.

'This is illogical. '

It could be any human in Jasper. Raf could very well be safe from all this conflict. Again, he beats the urge to pace. Oh how he wished that he could have met up with Raf instead of doing this dreaded organizing work. Soundwave throws himself into the task, shutting down all thoughts of Raf. HE keeps an eye on their personal network for any messages. He hoped his friend would come onto the network soon. Less than ten minutes later he spots a message that informs him that the two Decepticons had been offlined. A small flick of his servo and a press of a button, he discovers that it is the two vehicons that had been sent out to Jasper. Not really surprising, seeing that so many of their ranks had fallen to so few Autobots. With a slightly happy sigh he sends the info to Starscream, knowing that the seeker could probably care less. Sad really, none of the leaders of the Decepticon army seem to care for the survival rate of the troops. It's a wonder they still had so many left. Megatron had been slightly better about it, but still… Soundwave stands silent for a moment in remembrance of the two lost lives. Though happy no Decepticons had hurt Raf, a slight sting still washes over him at the waste of lives. An alert pops up, informing him that Raf is on their network. Eagerly, Soundwave gets on.

-Hey Hack!-

-Hello Raf.-

-I just saw the coolest thing! This boy from my school did this epic jump with a motorcycle. He was really high up in the air, almost ten feet, and landed without a hitch. It inspired me to try jumping my car on a smaller scale.-

-And?-

-I completely destroyed the thing.-

Soundwave slowly shaves his helm, wondering why his friend be so driven to do that with his remote controlled car.

-Can we build another one together, Hack? It would probably be so much better than the one I just broke.-

-Did you break it on purpose Raf?-

-No! I thought the jump would end more astrously. I have the parts for the new car already, the pieces I was saving to repair the messed up one. Do you really think I would wreck one of my favorite things just to build a new one with you?-

-Maybe.-

-That's mean.-

-It makes logical sense.-

A pause comes in their communication as Soundwave waits for Raf to respond.

-I might not be available tomorrow.-

-Why not?-

-I got this weird feeling. I dunno.-

-A feeling?-

-Yes. It's a not so logical thing that can happen. Are you cool with just meeting up online until this weekend?-

-I don't know if I can manage that.-

-Thanks.-

-Sarcasm?-

-Perhaps.-

-'sigh' I gotta go now Raf. Talk to you tomorrow.-

-Definitely. Bye Hack.-

Soundwave exits the network and begins looking into a transmission he is just starting to receive. It is from far out in deep space, making the message and the sender unclear. Perhaps it is Megatron calling for a space bridge to the ship, or perhaps a message sent to the Autobots. Mentally, he debates the pros and cons of both situations. While decoding and enhancing his scanners. Starscream would never open the bridge without ample evidence for it.
