"The con's have Miko?!" Bulkhead exclaimed.
Jack was sitting on the steps running his fingers through his hair. "Its all my fault, if I hadn't lost my cool and spurred on that fight with her-"
"-Then Laserbeak would have caught both of you Jack, now's not the time to be blaming yourself."
"Indeed." said Optimus. "Though we cannot change the past, we can work to preserve the future. We will do everything in our power to get Miko back."
"I can't image what they might be doing to her." said Raf
[YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW] Bumblebee rubbed his neck remembering how Megatron ripped out his voice box.
"If Soundwave has so much as harmed one hair on her head I'm gonna personally scrap him my self." In a fit of rage Bulkhead then smashed a tool with his fist.
"Bulkhead, I needed that!"
Miko was in Knock Out's lab in a strange container that Soundwave put her in after Laserbeak dropped her into his clutch. She was scared, but not just for herself, but for the well being of her unborn child. All she could do was sit and think about how this never would have happened hand she been more level-headed and not started that stupid fight with Jack. Looking around Miko noticed all of Knock Out's medical equipment, which made horrible and terrifying images of what they could do to her pass through her mind. She had been on the warship before but for the first time fear had a hold on her. 'If I get out of here I swear I'll never do anything stupid or reckless ever again.' Suddenly the pneumatics came on and Miko's fear skyrocketed. She looked and saw that Soundwave had returned with Megatron, and Knock Out and Dreadwing were following not far behind.
"Ah, one of the Autobot's human pets, and if I'm not mistaken, the very same human who snuffed Hardshell." Megatron said while tapping the glass of the container. "Well done Soundwave, but I advise you to get my permission before you take matters into your own hands."
The communications chief only nodded in response before he let an image of Optimus appear on his visor.
"Yes, Optimus will no doubt do anything to save her," Knock Out added. "Maybe even decode the Iacon data for us."
"Thats why you brought me here, for bait?" Miko question angrily standing up.
Dreadwing slammed his fist causing their hostage to flinch and bring her arms to her stomach "Watch your tone insect!"
"Wait," Knock Out took notice of Miko's odd posture. Something in his processor was telling him that it was for some kind of defence "What are you protecting, human?"
Miko froze at the question. "What?"
Knock Out then turned to the computer; the information would no doubt be in one of his personal research files. He approached the console and began to run through numerous data files until he found what he was looking for. "Ah of course, I believe our 'guest' is pregnant."
Miko swore her skipped a few beats. How did a Decepticon know about something like that?
"Pregnant?" Megatron questioned raising an eyebrow to the medic. "What nonsense are babbling about now Knock Out?"
"In my spare time I did some research on human anatomy. Humans don't have a Well of Allsparks like we do, or did as the case maybe. They pair up and... ugh... interface. This creates life within femme's own body, and she then carries the new life for period of at least nine months, after which the new life is able to survive outside the femme."
"You carry a new life with in you?" Dreadwing questioned Miko with a level of gentleness and compassion that surprised her. Unable to find her voice she gave only a slight nod.
"I was able to locate some human-made recordings about the subject and downloaded them in case we needed them for some reason. Fair warning, some of what follows will likely be disturbing even to the human." The three other Decepticons gathered around the console, blocking Miko's view.
"Hey there." A woman said in a seductive voice that made the blood retreat from Miko's face.
Miko put her hands to her ears to block out the sound. As time went on she watched the cons 'aside from Soundwave' cringe, turn away, and even look right at her with expressions of disgust. 'Great, alien robot criticism.'
This continued until Dreadwing had enough and ran out of the room. 'What's he so freaked about?' After gathering her courage she removed he hands from her ears only for them to be assaulted by someone screaming "YOU DID THIS TO ME, AAAHH!" Miko immediately covered her ears again.
Megatron stared wide-eyed and slightly slack-jawed at the monitor. "I have seen soldiers torn limb from limb, eaten alive by Scraplets, but that was by far the most revolting thing I have ever seen."
"Indeed." Knock Out firmly agreed. All three Decepticon turned to Miko, who had stopped covering her ears and was starting to feel uneasy at the titans staring down at her.
"Do all human females go through that?" Megatron asked the Doctor.
"No, not all, some are incapable due to birth defects, injury, age, or other circumstances."
Megatron hardened his gaze as his processor devised a sinister plot. A fiendish smile spread across his face plate. "Soundwave, Shut down the cloaking field." Megatron ordered.
Knock Out was bewildered by his masters demand "Lord Megatron if we shut down the cloaking field the Autobot's will-"
"Do not question my methods Knock Out!" Megatron snarled before grabbing the doctor and slamming him in the wall ironically knocking him out.
"Whoa dude, don't you think that was a little harsh?" the trapped teen chided momentarily forgetting that she was telling off a giant robot that crush her like an insect.
"You are in no position to speak to me in such a manner, I have other plans for you." The Decepticon Lord then took his leave with a dark chuckle and Soundwave close behind.
"I don't like the sound of that."
