Transformers (AoE)

lockdown

Once we entered the facility, we came to a circular room with a robot statued in the centre of it. There was a woman on one of the large screens in the room talking about said robot. "We took old, alien technology and made it better in every way. Introducing Stinger. KSI. We make the world." She spoke calmly.

Bee drove around the robot once and parked next to it to let us out. "That is a bad-ass robot" shane spoke, admiring the robot in front of him.

"He kind of looks like you, Bee" Cade commented, pushing his chair forward to help you get out.

"They're trying to make their own robots" you observed, scrunching your eyebrows at the idea. Who knows what kinds of things these people could conjure up.

"Well, at least they're picking cooler cars than this" shane snarked laughing at his own joke. Bee, offended by his remark extended the steering wheel and started choking shane.

"You talk to me like that?" Bee shouted through the radio, smacking him in the face again. Shane tried pushing the wheel out of his face but he obviously wasn't strong enough.

"You see what happens from being a wiseass?" Cade spoke, looking through the window with a smirk. You were smiling too, enjoying Bee getting a little revenge.

"Now get out of here." Be finally released shane and he stumbled out coughing. You let out another laugh and turned your attention to the lady as she began speaking again.

"Stinger, inspired by Bumblebee, but better in every way." Her comment caused bee to go into a tantrum and do donuts around the room. All three of you tried calming him down but it wouldn't work. Unfortunately, this was the same time that Joshua Joyce, the founder of KSI, decided to make his appearance. He was walking along with a group of people dressed in suits. He was speaking to a lady who seemed fed up with him.

While he was in the middle of speaking, the revving of bumblebees engine interrupted him so he decided to have a word with cade.

"Hey! Hey, you three! Grease monkeys" he spoke, walking up to the three, "What the hell is going on here?" He questioned, directing his attention to Cade.

Cade was about to speak before he was cut off by Joyce, "What's with this vintage crap?" He motions towards Bee. "We're not scanning collector car junk. What do you think it is that we make here? Hmm?" He adds, not knowing whether to respond or not, you all kept quiet. "We make poetry. We're poets. Alright? You work for me, you get one mistake. One. Understood?" He gestures with his index finger.

Cade hesitates for a second, wanting to make sure he was finished speaking, "Yeah. It won't happen again."

"It certainly won't. So let's get this pathetic thing out of here. And you, too." He spins on his heel, not giving your group a second look, and walks back to his followers to continue with his tour.

You each shared a nervous glance while Joyce left the room. Once you were all sure you were in the clear you got back to the plan.

"Watch him." Cade ordered shane, "I'm going to see what I can find and you see if you can gather any info from a computer" he finished, pointing towards you. You nodded and started walking towards where Joyce had left. Hopefully you'd come across a computer somewhere.

It didn't take long, most of the rooms you passed required a higher level key card than the one that was made for you but you eventually found one that you could unlock.

It was relatively easy to hack into their mainframe so you thought it would be an easy in and out job.

You found a surprising amount of dirt on Joshua Joyce, including a deal with a CIA agent called Harold Attinger about acquiring something they called the seed. It took some digging but you eventually found a file about a plan to detonate it in the Mongolian desert. None of this made sense to you so you'd hoped optimus would be able to explain.
