Hello again also for a music suggestion for this chapter Deep Stone Crypt Lullaby.

Autobot Outpost Omega One

Designation: Ratchet

When Optimus called in the groundbridge I wasn't expecting him and Arcee to be bringing multiple cybertronians with them.

Slight problem however. They are seekers or at least look like them. And Bulkhead decided to do his thing and drew his weapons. At that I saw the new arrivals all reach for thier sidearms but a fight never came to be as Optimus stepped in.

"Bulkhead stand down." He commanded but Bulkhead then responded with a simple grunt and a muttered fine before he put his weapons away. The five newcomers then relaxed as well and I observed thier numbers.

2 Femmes and 3 Mechs. The femmes and two of the mech seemed to be carrying combat loads. The final one however stood taller than Optimus but he seemed to be a support.

Optimus then spoke again, "As you can see Sicario it isn't much bit functional."

So the group's name was Sicario, an interesting name. But then one of the femmes then spoke, "Eh I had to help repair these idiots after mission while in a tundra I think being in a seemingly repurposed missile silo would be an improvement"

Finally! Another medic! I then spoke up, "Pleasue to meet you all may I ask your designations?"

They quintet then introduced themselves apart from one of the mechs who seemed to only stare at things. The orange femme introduced herself as Hitman-4 Prez, the other femme then followed suite calling herself Hitman-3 Comic. The mechs then introduced themselves as Hitman-2 Diplomat and AWCS Galaxy. But noticing that the last mech didn't introduce himself I asked my fellow medic.

"If I may ask Prez? What is his name?" I said while pointing at the last mech.

At that she sighed before speaking, "Sorry about this mute idiot," she said while pointing at him, "He is Hitman-1 Monarch. And before you ask, yes he can speak but chooses not to."

Before I could speak again however Miko spoke up, "So if your not Seekers like Screamer? What are you?"

At that Diplomat spoke, "Screamer? Interesting name but fitting. But we are Mercenaries, specifically of the Sicario Mercenary Corps."

"Oh, even better!" Bulkhead yelled, "Your Mercs. I bet as soon as the 'Cons start paying you more than us you'll stab us in the back!"

Galaxy refuted, "I don't think we will. To Sicario the idea of a sealed contract is one taken seriously. Sure we'd take payments from them after the contract with you all ends. But that's a different thing."

Prez then spoke as well, "Besides why would we work with the people who tried shooting us down when we told them no?" She said as she tilted her head to the side and resting a hand on her hip.

At the twin response Bulkhead grumbled before walking off. Miko then began her ramblings about the weapons that Sicario carried. Ralph was also asking Prez as one of her weapons is one that none of us had seen.

"Hey Prez?" Ralph asked, "What's the weapon on your arm?"

At that Prez gave a bit of a smile, "This kid," she said as she grabbed one of them off her arm, "Would be a railgun that is 'acquired' on a previous contract"

"What does it do?" Asked Jack.

At that question Comic sighed heavily and said, "Oh no, you got her started." She said as she facepalmed.

"The principle of a railgun is fairly simple. Through using an array of very powerful magnets I can accelerate a steel slug," she said as she took one of them out to show, "like this, to a very, very, very small percentage of the speed of lights. But the main danger to the normal slugs that I use is that they can leave a trail of volatile energy. And that energy is very dangerous."

Arcee then interrupted her, "Yeah, we saw when you shot down 8 Aerialcons in a single shot. Though I do remember you saying something about being sore?"

At that Prez gave a nervous chuckle, "Yeah, my airframe isn't really meant to deal with the recoil from them firing."

Soon there were a few more questions about Sicario asked from the humans as well as me and Bumblebee. Bulkhead however was still giving the five a scathing glare. But soon enough the humans had to go home because of their curfews. As they were taken home Optimus then guided the group to an empty room that was sitting open in case we had more Autobots join us. But soon enough the others returned from dropping off the children.

Nemesis

Designation: ErrOr

After an hour of flying, Starscream made it back to the Nemesis. There were some Aerialcons waiting on the deck either coming back from or going to patrol. And more than a few flinched when Starscream slammed into the deck with smoking engines and covered in burns and holes.

However before he could limp off to Knockout's medbay he was stopped by Megatron who as he always did was giving a death glare to the traitorous 2IC.

The warlord then spoke, "Where is the origin of the signal Starscream."

At that Starscream began sputtering out a reason, "The origin of the signal my lord, was uhhm cybertronians. They refused my orders so I tried to shoot them down but they were more skilled than I thought. However I do know their numbers. Four combat flyers and one support flyer my lord." He stuttered out before he was smacked to the side by the Warlord who began yelling.

"You lost 15 Aerialcons to a group that you had a numerical advantage too!" He then stomped over to the downed Starscream, "Now they are likely to find the autobots!" He said as he kicked Starscream, "You're a fool! And a useless one at that!"

After giving one more kick to Starscream he pointed to a pair of Veichcons standing nearby, "Bring Starscream to Knockout and then throw him into the Brig."

With a muted pair of, "Yes my lord"s the dragged Starscream to Knockout.

Fogged Forest 2 hours after the departure of the Autobots

Designation: Unknown

Me and the unit I had with me were investigating a signal that we had picked up in a forest nearby to an outpost. The origin of the signal seemed to be long gone, however we eventually found something.

"Sir! We found wreckage nearby. It doesn't look like anything that the government has in development." The soldier reported.

"Lead me to it." I commanded and with a firm, 'Yes Sir' the soldier led me to a collection of burning wreckage.

It was easy to deduce that whatever it was was an aircraft of some sort. Looking over to the soldiers with a radio set, "Get the extraction team on the horn we found something. The rest of you fan out and find anything else like this wreckage!"

As the men fanned out into the forest I could hear the sound of helicopters closing in I simply smiled, 'Seems like there's more than meets the eye here. But if there's anyone who can replicate the tech. It's us.'

Soon enough the Helicopters landed and on the side of the copter the name of the organization that I built.

M.E.C.H
