Soundwave's secret.

Chapter 16.

"Shockwave, what does this mean?" Megatron asked his scientist with ultimate displeasure in his voice.

"My Lord, I apologize for my unexpected actions, but there is something that should be brought to your attention."

Starscream shot a look of supreme surprise and disapproval at the scientist. What was this one opticed 'Con doing?! Why hadn't Shockwave informed him about his plan or whatever he had discovered?! All around them others exchanged looks of uncertainty, when they noticed Soundwave, and automatically felt out of place.

Femme or not, they all knew that a pissed off Communication Officer was something you didn't trifle with, and something you did not want to induce or face. Shockwave was playing with fire, and he knew it, but at the same time, he wasn't someone to act on an impulse alone. He went in prepared, into any situation.

This meant that the scientist got something significant.

Very significant.

"... Continue," Megatron practically growled.

"I am aware that security cameras are not involved in my normal responsibilities, but, being a highly qualified professional, I have let myself to make some revision, and something... Unexpected, caught my optic."

Cameras? Revision?

A cold and relentless feeling of fear was quickly rising in Soundwave's ever increasing spark beat. What had Shockwave been doing in her office?!

"I noticed that some of the security cameras' recordings have been tampered with - many corrected, and in a select few, fully replaced."

"Wait a minute. Are you saying that someone was messing with security cameras?" Thrust asked from his view point, surprise lacing his voice.

"Affirmative, and not just once."

At this, the Decepticons exchange looks, and Megatron's optics narrowed, the seriousness of the matter rising each following klick. Making sure he had everyone's full attention, Shockwave continued,

"I must say, the footage was done perfectly. If I hadn't looked as deep as I did into the base coding, I am up most certain it would have gone unnoticed, for however long it continued. I know of just one bot capable of doing such a clean and seamless job," the scientist finished, turning to Soundwave, his figure mirrored in the dark visor.

"Shockwave, you do realize the seriousness of your accusation?"

"I do, my Lord, and I am ready to face all responsibilities if I am in error. But, considering the importance of what I have found, I insist on checking. With your permission, of course."

Soundwave's spark started working even faster, anger, disbelief and a sickening panic rising within.

No.
No, no, nao! No!

This wasn't happening!

How dare he mess with her files! And, with that, the matter became ten times worse, when Megatron didn't look like he was going to, in any way, disapprove of Shockwave's actions.
