After a bit more discussion about the battles Lancex faced in the other dimension, Optimus and others all received a comm from Scattershot that something important had been discovered and all were needed in the main meeting room. Optimus, Lancex, and Scourge took off to head to the main room, as did others from other places in the base. "What is up, Scattershot?" Optimus asked.
"The data burst pumped out a lot of data and one thing that has been revealed is a very specific part of the arctic of this planet" Scattershot revealed, before showing on the computer where this hot spot was, and what a spot it was, as it was not small in any way, shape or form.
"Do you think a key could be there?" Optimus asked.
"It is possible. We still have a bit more to solve from the last data burst, but this feels too important to miss" Scattershot replied.
Optimus nodded, as Scattershot was right. "Alright, Scourge, Jetfire you are coming with me to the arctic to check out this site. We must get there before the cons do. Now everyone move out" Optimus announced.
"Just a word of caution – it is bitterly cold up there. If you get any water on you, you could permanently shut down and freeze" Red Alert reminded the team. Optimus nodded before having Vector Prime create a portal to the area. Vector Prime just hoped that they found what they were looking for and that he and Scattershot would be able to decode the rest.
Lancex, who had not be asked to go, felt a bit miffed. He didn't like staying behind when there were important other things going on. But after Snarl suggested that Lancex practice his moves and his weapons, Lancex thought about it, as it made sense. But then, Lancex's normally focused processor seemed to lose its focus, and instead of thinking about moves and weapons, Lancex thought of Scourge for some reason. Lancex walked off to try and clear his mind, as this made no sense. He was so out of it, he didn't realize he was being followed by Snarl, who wanted to make sure the bot was okay, but was also going to find out more as well.
Once Lancex got away from the others, he let his mind wander a bit, and it wandered to Scourge and the kiss that Scourge had planted on Lancex while they were on Jungle Planet. Lancex didn't understand all the emotions or logistics of what was going on, but his systems seemed to react, as if they knew something. Snarl was caught off guard when he caught the powerful scent of hormones coming of this normally stoic bot. It took all of Snarl's will power to just sniff the air and not try and take this bot. Snarl quietly scurried off, now realizing a couple more things about this bot – this bot was a submissive and could carry, as that was the message his hormones sent out, loud and clear. But that would have to wait for now. Lancex headed back to his room, he figured maybe rest would help him refocus. Little did he realize that this was going to open many new doors for the bot.
