The grate from the air vent slid to the side as Frenzy came out, he replaced the grate and then transformed landing in Soundwave's chest as he fell. Soundwave played the recording silently to himself then left to report to Megatron. As he walked through the base things seemed abnormally quiet. He walked at his normal quick pace, and entered the command room to find it empty as well. He proceeded to Megatron's office, not ringing the chime he stepped in.
"Yes Soundwave, what have your warriors brought me?" The Decepticon leader did not turn to see, but sat facing the view of the ocean. Soundwave touched the silver button on his waste, and Frenzy's recording of the Air Commander. Megatron listened and slowly swiveled around to face his trusted officer. He leaned back in the chair as the look on his face changed to a scowl. The recording stopped, nothing was said for quite a while as Soundwave stood there waiting for Megatron's decision on what to do next. After sometime Megatron sits forward and leans on his elbow joints.
"I want to keep my optics on him. Send Buzzsaw and Frenzy to watch him at all times. He will not get away with such scheming." Megatron sat back in the chair again. Soundwave turned and the door opened. He stepped out in to the command room, where the robot in question was checking over the list of the daily activities. He ejected Frenzy, whom he had relayed the orders silently through the inner connection to "pretend" to be doing some research, for Megatron.
"Soundwave what is the meaning of giving out the orders with out my approval?" Starscream came closer to the communications console that Soundwave now stood at.
"Megatron distributed instructions." Soundwave's said flatly.
Starscream made an odd air noise that could have been called a huff, then returned to the console where he started.
The office door swished open and Megatron came out. He walked to the command chair and sat.
"Starscream, take Thundercracker and Skywarp to the solar power station. You have the agenda." He said
Starscream turned on his heel and stalked out not bothering to say a word. Megatron looks a Soundwave then nods. Soundwave dispatches Buzzsaw who follows the jet silently.
Starscream walks through the corridor opening his comlink to the others. In a few short minutes he is in the tower with them.
"Has Megatron flipped? The place is going to be crawling with Autobots before we can make any energon." Skywarp asked.
"Never mind what has happened to our beloved leader." Starscream's words dripped with sarcasm. "The question is what are we going to do about it?"
