Transformers Prime: Human Decepticon

Chapter 27

(Midna)

I was on the bridge decoding Iacon with Sound. We still haven't found a way, and it was starting to be a pain in the butt because it couldn't be done by the old-fashioned way of finding a pattern. That was when Airachnad walked through the door and spoke.

"If it pleases you, Lord Megatron, once Soundwave discovers a means of decoding the remainder of the Iacon database, as we know he will," Sound stopped typing and looked over at her and Megatron. I had stopped when she started to speak, "I would suggest the deployment of an underutilized asset."

"And what asset would that be, Airachnid?"

"I believe that my superior tracking skills would expedite your quest to recover the remaining relics." Airachnid finished before kneeling down. I had to hold in a scoff at her tracking skills. Cause I was way better at it than her. I had missed the fact that Sound had continued to type.

"Noted." That was Megatron's only reply.

"You are a gracious audience, My Lord." I rolled my eyes at her. She was now starting to get on my nerves. She walked past both of us before saying, "Soundwave."

That had him stop typing entirely and face Megatron. Though he was watching her until she left the room. The door finally closed, and Sound and I both looked at Megatron.

"Remind me of her trustworthiness." Megatron intrigued, turning towards Sound.

"I believe we must consider the possibility of a future without Megatron." Sound played back.

"Traitors are more dangerous than enemies. Velupillai Prabhakaran." I followed after Sound's recording. Megatron faced the front again and pulled up Dreadwing.

"Dreadwing."

"I am at your beck and call, Lord Megatron."

"I wish to entrust you with a task I would normally reserve for myself. That is, if you wish to prove yourself worthy of becoming my 1st Lieutenant."

"That post belongs to Airachnid."

'Not anymore!' I thought giggly.

"She will be missed. And I suggest you bring backup. She can be a handful, especially when cornered." Megatron suggested. By the time he was finished, I had the evilest smirk on my face. I never liked Airachnid, and I was glad that she was going on leave. Permanently.Dreadwing had taken Breakdown. Then all three of them left. I was starting to get anxious. I always would during this type of mission, when someone's life would be taken. It would either go right or go horribly wrong. It's just how it went. I was also staying with the Cons for the weekend, which was nice. Things were starting to get crazy at my house since Christmas was right around the corner. In 14 days, to be exact. It would also be the first Christmas where it wouldn't be at our house. Apparently, there was a location that Gramps and Nana Kitty had been living, none of us knew about. It was exciting.

~~~

It was 10 o'clock, and Dreadwing had returned back alone. Sound and I were at the monitor. Dreadwing had his head lowered and wouldn't meet Megatron's eyes.'Not good.' I bitterly thought.

"The reason for our inability to locate Breakdown's signal is all too clear. But how is it that you were unable to recover his remains?" Megatron ordered, getting closer to him. That was when the monitor behind us started to beep. Sound turned around, "What is it?" Megatron asked.

It didn't take Sound long to see what it was. It was Airachnid. I growled under my breath.

"Heard from Breakdown lately?" Sound turned to Megatron, waiting for his order to trace it.
