Just saying this in advance: I'm not going to write when Blitzwing, Grimlock, or Waspinator are speaking. The reason why is that it's obvious in their dialogue. Blitzwing is german, Grimlock talks like a caveman and says "me Grimlock," and Waspinator has that weird buzzing and refers to himself by name constantly.

It was only this morning since Soundwave, or, i suppose he is Logos Prime, disappeared. Already, after a day of him being gone, the Decepticons were severely agitated.

Blitzwing was livid. "Vat is ze meanink of zis! Vere is Soundvafe?"

Wheeljack requested, "Would you please stop yelling at us? Me and Shockwave are working as fast as we can to get this tracker online. It hasn't even been a week!"

"Vell, jou are takink too long!"

"One week is hardly 'too long' when attempting finish an incomplete tracker, test it to be sure it works, and use it to

"Shockwave," I questioned, "what is this machine exactly?"

"This machine is a Space Bridge tracker, designed to track Space Bridge jumps without the logs from the Space Bridge itself. I was working on the device before the War ended, causing the development of the device to be abandoned per the treaty. However, now would constitute a time to finish the machine and use it." Shockwave answered.

Bumblebee remarked, "Heh, if I had a nickel for every time we had to dig up one of Shockwave's unfinished projects to deal with some threat or problem, I'd be able to retire early."

"Cybertronians do not use Earth currency, nor so we retire. Besides, the amount of times we have used inconplete projects of mine multiplied by the value of a nickel does not equate the fund value required for Earth retirement."

"Shockwave, it's an expression." Bumblebee explained."

"Could you guys stop the small talk and arguing and focus on the task at hand?" Starscream complained.

Knockout remarked, "Well, not to be rude, but I don't see you doing anything."

Starscream, sneering, said, "Shouldn't you be attending to Buzzsaw and your other patients right now?"

I added, "While his attitude is less than pleasant, Starscream is right. Wheeljack and Shockwave should be focusing in completing the tracker, and Knockout and Ratchet should attend to their patients. Maybe if Buzzsaw recovers quickly, he could tell us where Soundwave is.

"Ja! You schould vake Buzzsaw and hafe him tell us vere Soundvafe is!"

"Absolutely not," Ratchet exclaimed, "Buzzsaw is still recovering from his injuries, and taking him out of induced stasis could have drastic effects on his health. We'll have to wait until he heals enough to wake up and receive treatment. Then we'll have to wait until he is in a good enough condition to talk."

"And how long will this take?" I asked.

Ratchet answered, "Considering his condition, the time for him to stabilize enough to get him to a point where we can safely operate on him would take at least a week. And that's not considering actual treatment."

"A veek! At least! Zat is far too long!"

"At least we know about when we'll be able to find Soundwave if we can't get this blasted tracker online." Wheeljack remarked.

"Wazzzpinator nervous about safety of Soundwave."

"Oh shut up!" Starscream snapped, "You're always nervous about some scrap Waspinator!"

"Eeek!" Waspinator shrieked.

"Don't yell at him Starscream. You know that upsets him." Jetfre scolded.

"Oh frag off, Jetfire!" Starscream yelled.

"Me Grimlock not concerned with safety of Soundwave."

"Well why not? I am, and so are the rest of us." Barricade questioned.

"Soundwave is strong fighter! Me Grimlock know he not in danger."

Bumblebee answered, "We know Soundwave can take care of himself. We're more concerned about how much supplies he has, why he ran off, and when he'll get back."

"We should not be concerned about his supplies. Soundwave can synthesize energon from common energy sources by himself. As well, Soundwave may return before Buzzsaw recovers." Shockwave answered.

Jetfire remarked, "As a former Decepticon, the only thing I'm worried about is why he ran off. What made him freak out that bad?"

Starscream answered, "Ask Optimus. Last I checked he was the last one Soundwave talked to.

"Prime, what is Starscream talking about?" Wheeljack questioned.

Bumblebee asked, "Yeah, what does he mean?"

"Soundwave last went to the Archives with Optimus to find his records. Something about researching his past." Barricade answered.

"Still, what freaked him out?" Jetfire questioned.

I answered, "I believe he encountered a fact about his past that deeply disturbed him. To respect his privacy, I refrained from investigating what disturbed him."

Barricade stated, "Strange, just strange."

"Just asking, but what are we going to do when we find him? I doubt he'd appreciate us following him." Bumblebee inquired.

I admitted, "I am unsure. For now, all we can do is wait for the tracker to be complete, or for Buzzsaw to recover."
