The sudden demand made me scramble back into the wall I had found my Energon in, quickly turning off my cracked headlights. I was defenseless at this point—not enough energy to power my blasters even if they had been functional. I ducked behind a set of rocks as the sound of heavy steps came my way. I could hear the familiar hum of another weapon powering up, and my sharp talons instinctively gripped the rock.
"It's just me."
"You dolt! I could've shot your helm off if you hadn't responded sooner."
"You're too paranoid V-37T-9. This mine's abandoned; there's nothing here!"
"Then why'd Lord Starscream have us scout it out?"
"You mean bolts-for-a-processor? He needs reasons for what he does now?"
The familiar heckling laughter of my fellow Vehicons reverberated off the walls of the hollowed out room. Their footsteps continued past my hiding spot as they diverted onto another. I peeked out from behind the rock as my processor demanded I reveal myself. They were fellow Vehicons; they'd take me back to the Nemesis, patch me up, and send me on my merry way. Everything would go back to normal.
I stood still and silent as they vanished.
