Blackout was flying over the cold area of Atlas. He was on his way to meet with the head of the SDC.
Jaques was not in the best of modes. A train of Dust was raided, half the load missing, the Atlesian Knights were malfunctioning in his work spots, and more than half his human workers have been murdered in less than a week.
"Those Damn animals!" he said, "When I get my hands on them, I'll-"
"You'll what?"
Jaques turned to his screen, and on it was a symbol he had never seen before.
"You can't do anything. Not when I've hacked into your main drive. I must say, this was child's play compared to the Atlas Military."
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"You may call me, Lord Megatron."
"What kind of a stupid name is that?"
"The kind that will kill you if you don't meet my co worker outside right now."
"And how, pray tell, will you?"
Just then, he was shown a video, of a robot sneaking into his room, and injecting something into his back.
"That, was Frenzy, one of our more, tamed, Decepticons. He would have killed you without hesitation if I ordered it. As for what he injected into you, is a Micro-Con."
Jaques then felt a pain in his back, and felt something spreading.
"The Micro-Con releases a deadly toxin that will kill you in 10 minutes. Now, come out, and meet your co-worker, or your daughter will get the company sooner than you thought."
"I'LL MEET HIM! JUST PLEASE, STOP!"
The pain stopped, and Megatron laughed, "As much fun as it is seeing you squirm like the cowardly weasel you are, we have other things to discuss. Now, come outside."
Jaques then headed out, and saw an airship he never seen before.
"What a piece of junk," said Jaques.
Just then, the airship transformed into a giant robot.
"Care to say that again to my FACE?!" demanded Blackout.
"N-n-n-no."
"Good, now, here's the deal."
Blackout then posted a hologram of Remnant, and said, "You will set up mining operations in these locations. They hold pure Energon, which we need."
"And what is this, Energon?" asked Jaques intrigued.
Blackout grabbed him, and slammed him down.
"SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO, YOU PATHETIC WASTE OF CARBON!"
Jaques groaned, and Blackout made an observation.
"You have no Aura? You're even more pathetic then what your files said you are. Using others to do your dirty work, driving other businesses into the ground, and a racist a top of it all. No wonder the White Fang changed. If they were still peaceful, they'd be useless.
"Now, set up mining operations in these locations. Sending them to your scroll now. And don't worry about miners, we have that part under control.
"And a warning to you: Lord Megatron does not take kindly to failure."
Blackout jumped into the air, and transformed once more, taking off.
Jaques looked up, and wondered if perhaps he could take this Energon for himself.
He then felt the pain in his back, as a voice said, "A reminder, that YOU are our pawn, weakling."
The pain stopped, and Jaques headed to his office to make the arrangements.
