Translation:Please note, when using the Decepticons, I'll be using Cybertronian time measurements as defined by canon. They are, after all, giant, evil, robots bent on conquering the Universe. I highly doubt they'll use any time units but their own.
Vorn = One Cybertronian year, roughly equal to 83 earth years.

Chapter 2; Soundwave II
As Soundwave the temporary Decepticon base, he contemplated what to do with latest find. He knew for sure that he wanted to use it to help him bring the Decepticons to the glory they deserve, but the only question was how.
As Soundwave entered the base, it didn't even cross his processor to inform his fellow Decepticons on where he had been and what he had done. As far as he was concerned the only mech that need to know that kind of information was the decepticon leader, Megatron, and seeing as Megatron was dead, he didn't have to inform anyone.
At least, not until a new leader was chosen.
He made his way to his lab and locked it behind him.
Immediately upon entering he noticed that Ravage had returned from his mission, to retrieve the offlined body of Frenzy. He scanned the Casseticon and noticed no other injury apart from a partially severed head. A non-fatal wound when one has a decentralized neural-net.
"Ravage: explain."
"It's hard to sneak out of an enemy base when the one you are rescuing is being a total spazz. I calculated that it would be easier to escape if we weren't alerting the squishies to our location."
Soundwave decided to accept that explanation. It had been several vorns since he had seen his second oldest creation, but he remembered clearly how… excited… he could be.
"Excuse: acceptable. Return to quarters. Repairing Frenzy. Mission orders to follow." Ordered Soundwave, sitting down in his chair and getting out the necessary equipment need to repair the little Casseticon, it wouldn't take long.
"Yes, Soundwave." The feline-shaped Decepticon said. "Shall I inform Rumble about his brother?"
Soundwave shook his head and started basic repairs on Frenzy, ignoring Ravage as the Casseticon left the lab.
As soon as he heard the door lock, he opened his chest component and removed the only cassette within. He stared at the green and silver chassis of the small mech in his hands for several seconds before connecting it to a recharge berth that would insert the processed energon necessary for it to activate into its' system.
Soundwave then set to work repairing the spindly form of Frenzy.
********
One joor later, Soundwave completed the necessary repairs, but he was hesitant to online the mech in his lab. After a moment of deliberation, he folded Frenzy into his cassette form and placed him back on the table.
He turned his attention to the recharging mech. The cassette wasn't completely recharged, but it would do for now. It could finish the process in his chest compartment at this point. He unplugged the Casseticon, folded it back into its cassette form and placed into his chest compartment yet again, where it was soon followed by Frenzy.
Soundwave was now ready to move on to the second part of the plan that had been forming in his processor ever since he had discovered the boy and his Spark, a plan that would destroy the Autobots and leave the Decepticons the rightful rulers of the galaxy.
