Soundwave flew over the dry and sandy Nevada desert, looking for any rock formations that could be blasted into. Her scanners were up and alert, searching for any Decepticons or any open energon mines.
She and Laserbeak had already scratched their Decepticon insignia, destroying the tracker in the process. Soundwave had disconnected any connections to Decepticons in her and Laserbeak's comm link, creating new comm links for both of them, while airborne. The Chief Communication Officer is that awesome.
"Look!" Laserbeak chirped through the bond, "There's an opening in one of those rock formations!" Soundwave zoomed towards that opening with her scanner and scanned to see how far it went.
Cave: 50 feet tall and 5 miles deep. Possible openings to other caves.
"Nice," Soundwave complemented. Both ex-Cons dove down and landed in front of the cave opening. With her scanners, Soundwave could see that there were stalagmites hanging from the circular ceilings. Stalactites rose from the rock floors, completing the scenery.
The ex-Cons stepped into the cave and looked around. The cave goes in quite deep with enough space to store and build things.
"New base?" Laserbeak asked through the bond.
"Yep," Soundwave said, surprising Laserbeak. She stared at her boss, blinking her eyes several times.
"What!"
"Nothing," Laserbeak stammered, "It's just that it's been so long since I hear you talk," Soundwave shrugged and continued to walk down the cave. Laserbeak stare at her back before shaking her head and running after her.
The staked out a place where they would put their berths, their equipment, and energon. Maybe if they have time to spare, they might build a rec space behind some of those stalactites.
They both were widely known for their deadly moves in battle, never losing (except once but we'll get to that later) but there was one thing that nobot knows about. They both are very good at building and also very pproductive
They cut up the stalagmites here and there, where it wasn't needed and used what the humans called "super glue" to stick it together. They decided to keep the natural form of the stalagmites because:
It was pretty
They didn't have to even out the edges
Once the sun started to set you could see just a sliver of the moon over the horizon, they had finished their berthroom and storage space.
"Let's raid some energon mines tomorrow!" Laserbeak said excitedly, punching the air. She has never felt so happy in her entire life. Away from all this war with only her and her boss. Soundwave smiled behind her visor and she nodded.
