No one expects her to see anything.
She's blind. And as one of the younger autobot human pals, she was always underestimated.
That was always the cons first mistake.
They thought the glass lens she wore around her neck was stupid.
What do you have to magnify if you can't see?
They didn't see that is had a built-in listening device.
That was their second mistake.
The decepticons assumed Mia was the only smart human on the planet.
They didn't know Clarice had learned under Mia, Perceptor, Brainstorm, and Nautica.
And a little under Shickwave that one time.
That was their third mistake.
Clarice could continue to list the decepticons many mistakes in life but that would take as long as the Great War.
The point was, the autobots could hear everything that was being said in front of Clarice.
"The enigma is located in the deserts outside Arizona Nevada." Soundwave reported. And this data gives us a direct maps to its location and how deep it is buried."
"And how deep is that?" Clarice asked.
"And why would you like to know?" Megatron snarled.
Clarice smiled. "Cause when I escape I'll be able to tell the autobots."
There was silence. Then the decepticon leader broke out into laughter.
"What do you even plan to do with the enigma of combination anyway?" Clarice questioned.
"Because, little human," Megatron began. "The power of a prime deserves to be used by those who can control it."
Clarice snickered. "Really, cause I only know one prime."
Megatron hissed. "Imagine," he began in a voice underlying with threat. "If all of the decepticon justice league division was made into one bot, a giant combiner."
"Can't imagine Vos and Koan fancying sharing the same mouth." Clarice fired back, hiding the fear in her voice.
By the volume of his voice, she can tell Megatron is circling them, Mia and her.
"They'll learn to deal with it."
Someone--she assumed Cheetor--fidgeted on their metal feet.
"What are you going to do with us now?" Cheetor asked.
His worry and concern radiated. Unlike Clarice and Mia, he had never learned to make a poker face.
Megatron's stomping feet caused the ground to shake. Clarice guessed he was moving to tower over Cheetor.
"You and your human allies will come to watch as we pull the Enigma of Combination from the Earth."
