3rd POV (At the Autobot Base)

"Optimus, your not going to believe this. I've just pinpointed the location of the Decepticon warship." Rachet informed.

"How did you penetrate their clocking technology?" Optimus asked.

"I didn't. I was experimenting with variable frequency wavelengths when I stumbled upon them. Even still, their ship must be experiencing some kind of electromagnetic breach." Rachet informed.

"With Megatron deceased and the element of surprise..." Arcee punches her first into her servo for emphasis.

"We could cause some serious damage." said Bulkhead.

"And end our war against the Decepticons once and for all." Periwinkle stated.

The green screen shows two images of the Decepticon warship and an unknown one.

"Also in the same frequency, an Autobot emergency beacon." Rachet revealed.

"The Decepticons can wait. There may be Autobots in distress. Rachet, bring your medical kit." Optimus ordered.

Later, he and Rachet walk out of the Ground on the sandy desert. They stop to see a crash landed ship.

"A crash landing. Buried here for centuries."

Optimus cuts an opening on the ship. He and Rachet walk inside.

"If they traveled in stasis, there may be survivors." Rachet assuming.

He and Optimus turn use there flashlights to look around the ship. Suddenly, the ship rumbles. The two Autobots regain their footing and come across a door.

Optimus opens it as he and Rachet entered the room. They see two Autobot corpses on the ground, their bodies cracking. Another corpse is trapped in crystal. Rachet analysed a corpse.

"Optimus. These Autobots didn't perish from the crash. They're displaying the effects of a virus." Rachet informed.

"This is a plague ship." Optimus realized. He starts to walk towards the corpse, but Rachet stops him.

"Don't touch anything. The virus could still be active." Rachet tells him.

The ship starts to rumble again. Optimus and Rachet are pushed back against a wall. Optimus points his flashlight at an Autobot corpse handing above his. Drops of infected energon falls on the Autobot leader's optic.

Optimus grunts in pain as Rachet watches on horror. Later, the two of them return to Base. Optimus is resting on the table. The right side of his faceplate is damaged and cracked. Rachet uses a scanner

"Cybonic plague. It's only contagious if contact is made with infected energon." Rachet informed.

"What was a plague doing in an Autobot spaceship?" Miko asked.

"It's passenger were infected. The virus wiped millions on Cybertron during the Great War." Arcee informed.

"Cybonic plague was engineered in the Decepticon's biological warfare program. By Megatron himself." Rachet revealed.

"You have a cute, don't you?" Raf asked.

"No cure." Optimus groaned.

"Optimus, please. Save your strength." Rachet advised.

"Would Megatron create a disease without having a cure?" Jack asked.

"He would in case he got infected with the Cybonic plague." Lydia points out.

"It's not like we can ask Megatron, Jack and Lydia. He's pushing up lug nuts." Bulkhead tells them.

"But, we might be able to access the Decepticon database. For the moment, we still have a fix on their warship's location." Rachet stated.
