Transformers Prime: Legacy (Season Two)

Episode 31: Human Factor

"Atlantic Ocean, 2:00 A.M"

The Nemesis flies through the open skies as violent thunderstorm takes place. Heavy rainfall descends, lightning bolts flash brightly across the sky, and thunder rumbles in the city as the small city sized warship slowly hovers over the raging waters of the Atlantic below.

Onboard, the control room doors slide open as Barricade enters and walks up to Starscream and Soundwave.

Barricade: Lord Starscream... *Kneels down* I am at your beckon call!

Starscream: Ah, Barricade! Glad you can join us!

A random lightning bolt flashes brightly, lightning up the entire control room before Starscream turns to face Barricade. 

Starscream: I require your expertise and experience in the field for an important task.

Soundwave steps up and switches his visor to the view of a map of Michigan as he closely zooms in on Detroit and pinpoints three separate locations. 

Starscream: Our scanners have recently picked up the signal of an unidentified source of unknown origin in the city of Detroit. Whatever the said source may be, remains a mystery. A weapon, tool, medicine, or an ancient relic thought to be lost in time, your guess is as good as mine, but this most certainly merits investigation!

Soundwave's visor switches to normal.

Starscream: As the Decepticon's most effective scout and chief enforcer, you are one of the most qualified for the job. Head out to this...Detroit and investigate the signal of the unidentified source. If you are to recover anything, report it and bring it to the warship at once, and if you are to encounter any Autobot, crush them!

Barricade: With pleasure!

Starscream: Good! Oh, and one more thing! You may require some backup! Our sworn enemies have proven to themselves to be quite a handful lately!

Barricade stands to his feet and looks back at his longtime partner, Blackout enters the control room. 

Barricade: This should be fun!

Barricade and Blackout walk out of the control room together and head out on their way to their assigned mission.

"Detroit, 4:00 P.M"

The dismissal bell rings as hundreds of students file out into the hallways and place their supplies into their lockers and head out on their way home.

Meanwhile, Sari places her supplies into her locker and closes it shut before walking down the hallway with face buried into her phone.

"Hey!"

Sari lets out a surprised yelp and quickly turns, dropping her phone in the process.

Standing behind Sari was an eighteen year old Latino boy with spiky black hair, wearing a leather jacket over a white t-shirt with blue jeans and boots.

Sari: Ronaldo!

Ronaldo bends down and picks up Sari's phone before handing it to her as she looks down at the screen which was cracked beyond recognition. 

Sari: Ah, man!

Ronaldo: Sorry about that!

Sari: *Sigh* It's fine.
