Chapter 164
Uranium looked up in surprise as First Gunner entered her cell. He embraced her tightly, whispering into her ear, "You have to leave. It's not safe here anymore."
"I can't leave here," she protested, making sure to stay as quiet as he was.
"You have too," he told her firmly. "Nemesis Convoy is leading the Destrons toward an all out war. If you stay here, he'll try to capture and interrogate you. Chromia got in here once, and Nemesis Convoy will find a way to do so again. I don't want to see you get hurt anymore."
"But..."
"There's another reason as well," he continued. "Coby and Lori are going to need your help. I just went over my records a second time. By my calculations, Lori's pregnancy is far more complicated than we first thought. They need a doctor, someone who can help them since I can't."
"Me," Uranium said.
"You're the only one I would trust with this information," First Gunner answered as he used their internal communicators to give her the data. "You always wanted a way to make amends. Here is a way: save the life of their son."
Her optics widened as she assimilated the data. Instantly, she knew he was right. She couldn't stay any longer. First Gunner told her where she could hide, and she hurried away, willingly claiming her freedom for the first time in nearly two centuries.
Smiling with joy that his sparkmate had finally managed to get back on her feet, First Gunner headed back to the medical wing. On the way there, he passed by Dreadlock's office, its door slightly ajar.
"Are you here to resign as well, Nitro Convoy?" the Chairman's voice drifted out from it. First Gunner stopped to listen.
"No. Live Convoy resigned?" Nitro Convoy asked.
"He tried too. I told him I would not accept it," Dreadlock replied. "Why are you here then? Is the Speed Sector leaving as well?"
First Gunner could hear the disgust and strain in Nitro Convoy's voice as the Speedian answered, "No. I'm swallowing a great deal of pride and personal feelings to come to you to ask for help. The Destrons are engaging in guerrilla tactics on Speedia. We're trying to stop it, but we're loosing fast. Tracks has been leveled. Excellion, Override, Hot Rod, Mirage, and RC managed to evacuate the majority of population, but it has put both Excellion and Hot Rod in the hospital in critical condition. When you add in other remote locations that can't be reached easily, let alone defended, our current casualty count is 2 soldiers and 150 civilians, with nearly a thousand more wounded. We're strained to our limit."
"I'll see what I can do, but I can make no promises," Dreadlock answered.
Having heard enough, First Gunner hurried away to find Backguild. They needed to make some plans fast, without Dreadlock's interference.
