The Autobots have successfully raided all five energon mines. The back storage units were full of energon. Soundwave shook her head mentally at how stupid the Cons were. They were helpless without her. She smirked at the thought of any of the Cons trying to take over her job. The hilarious way Megatron would react if any of them did anything wrong.

She sat watching Laserbeak interact with the Autobots. Not to say she got off on the right pede with them but she hasn't done anything that might jeopardize their welcome here. Watching Laserbeak spit out curses and insults at the Bots was like watching what the humans would call a "reality tv show". Except being way better. She really didn't have to worry about Laserbeak being safe with the Autobots because Ratchet has taken a liking to her.

Whenever someone tries to tell her off or threaten to beat her down (cough cough *Wheeljack* cough cough), he always had his wrench flying through the air to her rescue.

Soundwave sat musing what the Cons might be doing at this time.

On the Nemesis

"KNOCK OUT!!!!!" Megatron's voice rang loud and clear through the hallways. Knock Out came running to the main control room.

"Yes my liege?"

"Go monitor," Megatron paused, searching for the appropriate word, "Everything,"

"Yes my liege," Knock Out held in a loud vent as he took his shift on the computers. How does Soundwave do all of this? How can she monitor things happening in outer space, on the warship, in the various energon mines, and find new information all at the same time!!!! Without her, Starscream and Knock Out had to take turns filling in her role. But without her, nothing got done. Five energon mines had been raided by the Autobots and Megatron was not happy.

"You over there!" he roared at the vehicon group, "What are you doing?"

"Um my liege we were-

"I don't care what you were doing!" he roared, pointing his fusion cannon at them, "Get back to work!!!!" the vehicons scurried hurriedly out of the main control room. Just to make his point, he fired his fusion cannon at the wall where they just stood. Knock Out flinched but continued with his work. No one wants to be at the other end of Megatron's wrath.

"Starscream!" Megatron shouted as soon as Starscream entered.

"Yes my lord?"

"Have you located where Soundwave is?"

"Uh not yet my liege," Starscream stalled, "My group of highly skilled vehicons are currently working very hard to track down our TIC,"

"Well tell them work harder!" Starscream jumped back.

"Y-yes my lord," Megatron sat back in his black throne. Where did Soundwave go? Why did he leave the Decepticons? He was his most trusted and loyal followers. He never doubted his capabilities and actions because he knew he would never betray him. But why now? What had he done to make him leave?

Everybot on the Nemesis was on edge. No bot dared to talk or even make any noise when they are around Megatron. Everybot silently went on with their work and shifts. No more chitter chatter from the vehicons. No more days of Knock Out bragging about his paint. Even Starscream was quiet. That wasn't good. He was probably up to something. It went from only Soundwave being quiet and everybot else was noisy to everyone becoming quiet. It was quite unsettling.
