Swerve: Hey everyone. Enjoyed the last chapter? Yeah, me too. I mean we got to see Optimus Prime! "Clears Throat" Anyway, enjoy this chapter. I hear it's a banger!
___________________________________________________________

We cut at an open road where we several soldiers aiming rocket launchers at a vehicle similar to Sunstreaker

???: This is how it goes down...On the open road, maybe just within some city limit somewhere, the target is isolated...Immobilized. Then...

The soldiers then fire their rocket launchers destroying the vehicle

???: one less alien mech

One of the soldiers lowers their rocket launcher and we see it's Drake.

Drake: Of course

We then cut to a room where we see people in chairs wearing VR Headsets and holding controller guns. This means all of that rocket launcher stuff was a simulation

Drake: Out there, in the field, it might all be very different. Which is why we have to be prepared for any eventuality, any given set of circumstances

Drake then takes off his VR headset

Drake: That's it for now. Ordinance check is at 0900 next simulation is at 0945. And remember, from this point on, soon as we get an actionable profile...We roll

Drake gets up and leaves while the others start to take off their VR headsets. Drake then enters a room with two people inside looking at monitors

Drake: Mister Creel, anything?

Creel: Nah, mister Drake. Quiet as th' proverbial grave

We then see that the location they are in is in Southwest Michigan. And the team is on the side of the road in a RV.

Drake: Well, stay tuned in. When this happens...It'll happen fast. Mister Weiss, mobiles two and three

Weiss: Standin' by

Weiss switches the screen to live camera footage of lake Michigan. We also see an image of Sunstreaker's vehicle on one of the monitors

Drake: Good. We'll get one shot. That's it. Our employers are not partial to failure.

Weiss: This is, sir, we've not seen so much as an extraterrestrial hubcap for days now.

Drake: Trust me. Situation like this...Something's bound to come up

(Meanwhile)

We cut to the bottom of lake Michigan where we see the Ark-19

???: We're WHAT?!

We then cut inside to see the Humans looking at Ratchet and Y/N shocked while Jazz and Ironhide are in the background

Y/N: You're going back. To your homes, to your lives

Hunter: But...I thought we were a part of this now, kind of, I dunno, honorary Autobots. I-We-Don't want to go back Y/N, after we've seen...And done...How can we? Hell, aren't we on the Decepticon's hit list?

Y/N: Not anymore. I contacted an old friend of mine, Punch. He was able to get you all off the Decepticon hit list

Jimmy: Sure, that's great and all, but some of us don't have anything go back to. My garage well...I don't think the insurance will cover it.
