~ They call me evil; however, evil is illogical.
Single optic blazed, thoughts indistinguishable from the mech's emotionless stance.
His database registered the half-starving femme as a neutral. Unallied mechs were rare enough… to find a femme? The odds were miniscule; not impossible. It was logical to assume she had been separated from other refugees… and mate.
'A sparkling. How… illogical to spark during wartime.'
Terrified, celadon reflected within carmine, femme curling further in on herself, attempting to conceal the child. 'Futile.'
"P-please… have m…mercy…"
Optic flashed while the mech processed this request, barrel tip gleaming with purple aura. "It is illogical to spare you and waste resources."

Author's Note:
Heh, finally, an author's note! XD
Anyways, I just wanted to know what you guys thought of this so far, seeing as how the story hasn't received any reviews... yet, hopefully. I was wondering if you guys thought I should continue this at all, or should I just abandon it here? Maybe put it on hiatus? I'm personally enjoying writing these short, tricky drabbles, but if you guys don't like 'em I can go back to writing something else. I do owe my other readers some updates, after all. (Which I have an explanation for! I'll be posting it when I next post a story or an update. I don't think too many people will see it if I put it here... though I will be putting it on my page shortly, if I don't get sidetracked by school again. *Sweatdrops*)
So, um, I guess I should explain this chapter? First, the femme's just a random OC I came up with... poor femme. :( Second, well, I've been wanting to try writing Shockwave for a while, but wasn't really sure how to go about doing it. I eventually happened upon this theme and inspiration struck! Now I'm just hoping I portrayed him properly, or at least decently... don't really know much about him, especially from G1... *Scratches the back of my head, looking sheepish* Erm, for that matter, I don't know most of these characters that well at all. Skyfire, sure, he's part of why I like reading G1 fanfictions at all. Red Alert... I know next to nothing about him other then that he's paranoid... and a medic, maybe? Or is that only Armada? Ratbat I basically guessed how to write, though I figured out Sounders easily enough. ;) Swindle, however, is not only fun to read about, but also fun to write about! Not to mention I don't think I did half bad with him and his gestalt. :P Grimlock... hm, I hope I did him properly. I didn't really get to portray much of him, despite it being his turn. Though, I gotta say, Ratchet and Wheeljack were as fun as I expected them to be! XD
So... that's all I guess. G'night/afternoon/morning everybody! :D
P.S. Sorry about the perhaps confusing AN. I was half asleep when I wrote it. *Grins sheepishly* Ah, well, Rose out!
