A Clone Trooper, who is called 'Plight,' keeps watch of the supply tent containing blasters and all types of ammunition that can wreck a clanker. He is on watch because reports coming in from Republic military camps in the northeast of Ryloth that supplies are being stolen, and Clone Troopers are being found dead at the areas, and have seen strange sightings of unique droids and then all the equipment missing along with the droids that tackle the troopers at every scene. Then, there was a notification shared by Jedi that if giant droids were sighted, then to shoot and take them down, make then surrender if possible. They all wonder why they would not destroy them anyway. They are in a war for kriff sakes. All droids are enemies, no matter how big they are.

"Plight. Where's all the equipment." Says the really annoyed Clone Squad Commander towards his brother who just went in to retrieve items.

"What do mean, sir? It's all there. I checked it during the sunrise, and I've been standing here ever since guarding the entrance." He is so confused. There was no way no one could've passed by without him catching anyone, even the equipment. It should've made a noise even a single bang would've caught his attention.

"Well, all the equipment and the blasters are gone. I'll notify General Di that there has been another raid."

"I'm getting so demoted." He groans into his hand.

"Yeah, you are now going to get it. Now, go there and investigate it."

"Yes, sir." He goes in and checks around. He is in such disbelief as he sees the stacked crates he saw earlier gone or opened and emptied. The guns hanged were all gone, and the ammunition littered or stolen. No one could've gone through here at all without making a noise, and all he did was stand and perk his ears up. The only sound around was wind and the occasional sand blasting across with it. He is too much into his mind, walking around, wondering till his foot slips and gaining back his balance he notices a dip in the dirt with what seems a blanket draped over it. No one would've noticed unless they stepped on it, which he did. The Commander must've not noticed it, and lifting it off, he finds a deep hole, all black at the entrance, and see some of the sand has collapsed over it. Looks like the perpetrators were digging here quickly and lazily set up underground support, but quick enough to steal all this stuff. He went on to notify the squad commander of his discovery.

--------------------------------------------------------

Out of the badly made hole, the Minicons come out with all the equipment recently stolen from another camp of the Troopers in white. They are greeted by Lord Megatron and Soundwave at the entrance, who the latter carries the equipment to a center in the ship. He unloads it all, and the two scientists start taking it apart.

"Good job, Minicons. You have shown yourself to be exceptional recently, now Soundwave how much of our new inventions have been built."

"Exceptional, Lord Megatron. The silencer tech these organisms have made the recent raid undetectable. And we are currently integrating it within our systems of the Nemesis to bring our ship back to more advanced capabilities. The tech is currently too being stockpiled to let Shadowstriker build useful inventions and reconstruct the Constructicons. We have more than enough to make good progress, but we still need more for the ship."

"I hope that invasion comes by soon. We need their tech."

"Well, Megatron. Me and the rest of the seekers have sighted more defenses being built and possibly a beachhead of where the enemy is landing. Robots."

"Noted, Starscream."

Recently, the Decepticons sighted these smaller robots that are fully factory produced. Having a sense of self-awareness but still following orders like armies, as it seems they were created for that purpose. And not only that, but in large numbers, too with different varieties, but for them, tiny laser blasters don't hurt a bit, and they'll be easy to survive.
