Soon, all the Autobots soon returned to the earth bound Autobot base, with Scourge, Snarl, and Bsckstop in tow. Scourge was impressed with the base, as it seemed very secure, though that didn't mean it was perfectly impenetrable, just very, very difficult to get into without being an Autobot. Red Alert greeted all the bots including the three new bots. Then Red noticed something off with Optimus and asked the Prime to follow the medic to the med bay. Seeing that he wasn't going to get out of going, Optimus headed to the med bay, seemingly unaware that he was already causing an issue between two bots.
As Optimus headed off, Scourge tried to follow the bot, but Jetfire thwarted thst effort. Scourge was not exactly pleased but he was not completely pissed off either. He figured he could have fun with the shuttle, or so he thought. "Back off, Sulphur breath! No one follows the Prime into the med bay, not even the second in command" Jetfire spouted off.
"Whatever, fly boy" Scourge replied, clearly not bothered by what Jetfire had said, as Scourge had heard that insult ad nauseam from various bots, friend and foe alike. Jetfire was an to spout off again, but a Vector Prime came by and broke up the disagreement.
Meanwhile, in the med bay, Optimus sat on a berth as Red Alert scanned over the Prime completely. It bothered Optimus, as he didn't want it known he had been taken. However, that was not at all what Red Alert was worried about. "I have detected you have been exposed to powerful hormones recently, is this true?"
Optimus sighed and nodded. "I have, what of it?"
"Well, my concern is that your system readings as strange when it comes to hormone reaction" Red Alert answered.
Optimus didn't like hearing that. "What do you mean? Explain!" Optimus bit back.
Red was a bot startled but soon regained his composure. "Your systems indicate that when your pleasure systems are activated, you submit to whoever is causing the pleasure. And in submitting, you activate your sparkling development chamber, meaning you will be fertile and carry though only if you are in heat" red said bluntly.
"Heat? What is that?"
"Well, you body will be very sensitive, your spike and port will be well prepared for fragging, and you will fully submit to your mates, as you will need at least 2 mates to satiate your systems, and you will release your powerful spark to be United with you mates and you won't be able to think of anything else but fragging until you become sparked" Red explained, the whole thing leaving a bad taste in Red's mouth.
Optimus took a long hard minute to digest all that information. He honestly didn't like any of it. He shot a look to red. "You better not say anything to anyone about any of this, understood?" Optimus said, obviously upset by all of this. Red merely nodded, as an upset Prime was not a good idea to mess with. Knowing he was understood, Optimus left to find his quarters, as he needed to think about all of this before anything ore happened. Only now did he wish he hadn't made that deal with Scourge, but it was too late to go back on his word. Optimus could only hope that the war lasted longer than shorter so he could process all this new info.
