Chapter 3.

After their brief discussion, Storm and Ice Queen made their way to the wreck room in hopes of getting some energon. They were getting down to the last few cubes in their store room and were desperately looking for more.

Upon entering the wreck room Storm and Ice Queen were greeted with the sight of two small figures wrestling on the floor. One gold and red, the other white and dark grey, the two small Autobots being shorter then a Minibot.

Ice Queen chuckled as Storm shook her head with exasperation.

Expelling air from her vents, Storm walked forward, bent down and grabbed each bot by the arm and hefted them up into the air. "Now... Havoc," She looked at the white and grey bot. "Catastrophe." She turned her gaze to the red and gold one. "Why must you insist in beating the slag out of each other?"

Havoc chuckled nervously. "Cause it gives us something to do?" He provided meekly.

Catastrophe nodded. "Yeah what he said."

Storm shook her head before setting the two back down on the floor. Within moments Catastrophe tackled Havoc and were at it again.

From a table nearby a white, blue, and red mech rumbled in laughter as Storm joined him while Ice Queen fetched the three some energon.

Storm vented air from her vents, resting her head on the table. "You, Excalibur must have the patience of a Prime."

"After you've worked with Knight for as long as I have, you adjust." He smiled before turning serious. "Any word for her?" He asked as Ice Queen came over and sat down, passing an energon cube to Excalibur and Storm.

"She's tracked an energy flux to an organic planet on the outer rim. Right now the planet is under siege by the Decepticons under the command of Megatron, and from the looks of things the Autobots were there but left in a hurry." Storm explained before taking a swig of her energon. "What the Decepticons are interested in, we don't know but that's why I'm having Knight stay planet side. She's gonna dig around and find out what they're doing and with any luck find out where the Autobots went."

Excalibur nodded before taking his cube and sipping it.

"Knight also mentioned how the Cons acquired alternate forms. Apparently, from the way Knight described Megatron's cannon, the organics have strong and possibly helpful forms that we can scan. That's her side mission, to try and grab some good scans. With the Swarm on the move we're gonna need the extra armor and firepower I'm hoping the scans can provide." The larger femme explained in between sips of her energon.

Excalibur swirled around his energon before setting his cube down. "What I'm dying to know is why did the Autobots take off in such a hurry."

Ice Queen sent Storm a quick glance at the question.

"Don't know." Storm lied, though deep down she knew the truth. "That's why I'm having Knight stick around."

He nodded once before taking another swig of his energon, before looking up at door to see Disaster, Blue, and Indigo walk in.

Disaster stopped seeing the Twins, Havoc and Catastrpohe wrestling at their feet. The tall flexible audio receptors on her head drooped back against her helmet. Even though a mask and blue visor covered her face, one could tell that she was rolling her optics.

Blue and Indigo, being twin sisters themselves laughed at poor Disaster. The light and dark grey femme, was Havoc and Catastrophe's caretaker. The Twins being just out of their youngling-hood, when everyone else was leaving planet, Havoc and Catastrophe like everyone else gathered there in the wreck room were left behind.

Storm, Excalibur, and Ice Queen chuckled when Havoc pounced on Disaster's head while Catastrophe clung to one of her legs.

While Blue helped poor Disaster get the young Twins off, Indigo grabbed some energon cubes for herself, Blue, and Disaster. Joining Storm, Ice Queen, and Excalibur, Indigo took a seat.

"Once again, nothing to be found in any of the bunkers we located." Indigo reported, taking off her face mask to take a sip of her energon. "What ever was left was cleaned up and taken by the Swarm. The bunkers found had all the tell tale signs of the Swarm going through."

Storm once again found herself sighing despite herself. Watching as Disaster held both small mechs at bay an idea hit her. "Disaster, Havoc, Catastrophe, come over here!" She called sitting up straighter.

Disaster had each one in a scruff hold, depositing them between Indigo and Excalibur, Disaster took a seat beside Ice Queen, while Blue took a seat on the other side of Excalibur.

"Okay so here's the situation thus far... Knight tracked an unknown energy flux to an primarily organic planet on the outer rim, there she located the Decepticons, Megatron of course leading them." She paused. "Knight noted that the Autobots may have been there at one time or another, where they fled to is unknown, for all we know they could be coming back here."

Indigo snorted, "Why bother coming back here? The planet's dead, we're all that's left."

"We don't know that for sure." Interjected Ice Queen. "There could be other refugees stranded here to, they could be doing what we're doing, laying low and staying out of the way of the Swarm."

"Ice Queen's right, but right now that's off topic... I'm having Knight stay planet side, try to find out any pertinent information in regards to what may have happened to the Autobots. I also have her scanning around, she noted how the Cons acquired some strong alternate modes. I'm having her get some scans to be on the safe side. You all remember our last run in with Swarm."

Excalibur nodded, "Yeah, my wings never felt right after that." He admitted.

"I'm still cleaning goop out of my antennae." Blue added, running a hand over one of her long antennea which sat on her head.

"My point exactly. Knight's gonna get some scans while planet side, we could use the armor and added fire power... Right now for us... I want you three, " She pointed to Disaster, Blue, and Indigo. "To widen your search area. We're running low and we need the energon. Indigo, Disaster, you two will bring one of the Twins with you."

With that Havoc and Catastrophe wooted before Excalibur and Indigo covered their mouths.

"The wonder Twins here are small enough to fit into places you guys can't. If you find a promising area you can't get into, have them go in." She then looked at the Twins. "As for you two... At the first sight of trouble get your afts out of there, am I understood?"

"Yes mam!" They echoed in unison.

Storm nodded, pleased. "We'll wait until the next cycle. Right now though let's lock up the base for this cycle and hit the recharge. I've had to much excitement for the day." With that she stood up and away from the table. "I'm hitting the recharge berth, if you guys need anything I'm leaving Ice Queen in charge." She stopped and looked back at Havoc and Catastrophe. "You two... Behave. Got it?"

They both spared Storm an innocent smile.

The large femme shook her head and left the wreck room, with her sights on her recharge berth. No sooner did she get to her quarters and lay down on the recharge berth she was out like a light.
