Thick: Records played by Soundwave


Little Lord – Chapter 10

Airachnid's POV:

My three comrades did well. They have placed the bombs in the Energon storage. Luckily the walls of the storage are thick and very strong; otherwise the whole ship would explode, because of the released energy.

Hopefully the repairing of the storage and the restoring of the Energon, will keep Soundwave busy enough to find these Scraplets we detected at the North Pole a while ago… However, where is Starscream? He has the remote control for activating the bombs…

Starscream's POV:

I checked the bombs one last time and made my way to Airachnid. I have already sent Knockout and Steve to a 'scouting' mission. Scouting…pah! Collecting would be the right term. Collecting all those hideous Scraplets… I just hope this whole expense is worth it! …

Finally, I stood before Airachnid's chamber and I knocked. She let me in and then, there we stood. "Well Starscream, what are you waiting for? Let phase one begin!" And with that, I pushed the button on the remote control…

Soundwaves's POV:

I was woken by the sound of an explosion and the shaking of the ship. I almost jumped out of berth, but at the last second I realized, that the Sparkling slept half on my chest and half on my lap. I stood up very carefully and laid the Sparkling in his own berth and silently made my way out of my chamber. Just in case I let Laserbeak back, to watch over Megatron.

As soon as I was on the corridor I hacked into the ship tin order to find the source of the distraction. Only to find that the Energon storage has blown up completely, but thankfully beside that, the ship was fully functional. Besides the forming processor ache, can it get any worse? And how could something like this happen? Have I missed something on the daily check, yesterday? Ignoring the processor ache and the questions, I finally made my way to the Energon storage. Or at least, where it should be….

On the way to the storage a few Decepticons approached me. They were all pretty upset and they shouted all at once. "Commander! The Energon storage is blown up!" "Commander, come fast!" "The Energon! Everything has blown up!" "Commander, what are we going to do now?" "Silence!" I used Megatrons voice to shut them up and really, they became silent at once. I continued my way as Starscream and Airachnid came around the next corner and almost stumbled into me. "Watch were you are going, Soundwave!", Airachnid said. I did not respond. Starscream asked: "I guess you already know what happened?" I nodded. "Luckily, the walls were strong enough, so the ship were not further damaged! If you wonder what caused this explosion, we found out, that one of the machines was defect and exploded and with it, all the Energon we had!" An error in one of the machines? How is this possible? I had them checked yesterday, when I returned from the meeting with the Autobots! Have I simply overseen something? As if he could read my mind Starscream added: "But do not blame yourself, even you cannot find every problem! You are just a Cybertronian after all!" You would know... "Well, if you will excuse Airachnid and me, we have to make sure, that the restoring goes without any further trouble. With that, they turned around and just walked away.

Great, just great! It seems as if I haven't enough problems already! No! Now I have to deal with finding Energon and that fast, or the Nemesis will fall on the ground and the troops will sooner or later fall into stasis, because of lack of fuel… Primus, Unicron, Alpha Trion or whoever does not like me anymore… what have I done? ...alright Soundwave, get a hold of yourself! You will not let down Lord Megatron! Let me think, what do I have to do…

First, send out drones to collect Energon;

Second, keep an optic, or better two optics, on Starscream and Airachnid, so they will not kill each other;

Third, supervise the reparations;

Fourth, wait for a respond from the Autobots and if needed, prepare for an attack;

Fifth, control the whole ship once more for any errors;

And finally sixth, take care of Lord Megatron and maybe ask Shockwave about progress…

It promises to be a long day… well than, enough time wasted, I better get to work.

I was about to go to the control room, so I could order the troops to collect Energon, as Laserbeak called and urged for me to come back to my chambers (and the Sparkling) at once…


Here we go! The next chapter!

And way sooner than the last one..., ah, yes...

Hope you liked it!^^

If you have any ideas, comments, opinion or if you want to tell me something else, than write a review! ;D

Now remains just one question... why is Laserbeak calling his master (caretaker or whatever) back to the chamber... who knows (well me, but I won't tell you till the next chapter ;-P)

But you could guess and write them also in the reviews (only if you want of course!)

C Ya ;D
