After we devised the plan to find the Decepticon's spacebridge, the bots and I have been searching all known Decepticon energon mines. With our luck though, I doubt we'll ever find it. 

"Ratchet, I've got nothing. Send me to the next quadrant." I commed in. 

"Alright, but wait one moment. Bulkhead is still coming through." He replied. A groundbridge opened for me a moment later and I quickly walked through. 

"No energon spikes. Have Arcee of Bumblebee found the spacebridge?" Bulkhead asked. 

"No word from them yet." Ratchet replied with a strange tone in his voice. 

"Ratchet, you okay?" I asked. 

"Yes yes. Let's just get the two of you to the next quadrant." Before Ratchet could type in the coordinates, his communications hub started going off. 

"What's wrong?" I asked. 

"It's a high frequency signal with an imbedded message- for me." Ratchet replied. 

"Optimus?" Bulkhead asked hopefully. 

"No, Starscream." He replied with surprise. 

"What does old Screamy want?" I wondered. 

"It says- I have information regarding your leader. Bring medical kit; come alone." 

"Well, we have no reason to listen to stilettos, so let's get going." I said. Ratchet did not reply but grabbed his medical kit and opened a groundbridge. 

We walked into a woodsy area, with Starscream propped up against a large boulder and holding his leg covered in energon. 

"I told you to come alone!" He screamed. 

"And since when do we listen to you?" Bulkhead asked. 

"Where's Optimus?" Ratchet asked. 

"Patch me up and perhaps I'll tell you." Starscream replied. I glared at him but walked up to him, transforming my arm into a scalpel and hovering it above his wound.

"Either you answer our questions or you'll be joining Cliffjumper in the Allspark in the next five minutes. Choose quickly!" I yelled. 

"Alright alright!" Starscream yelled frightened. 

"Has Optimus been harmed in any way?" Ratchet asked angrily. 

"He's fine, fine! Can't you see I'm the one that's been harmed?" 

"Where is he?" Bulkhead asked.

"Where do you think?" Starscream answered with sarcasm. "He's on Megatron's warship!" 

"Which is located where?" Ratchet pressed. 

"Now? Who knows? It's a ship it moves! It took me months to track, only to get fired upon." 

"You wouldn't have called me here unless you had real information to trade."

"Very well." Starscream said calmly. "Your beloved leader may have lost his senses. He goes by the name Orion Pax now. It also appears Megatron has lead him to believe he is a Decepticon." 

"Tell us something we don't know." Bulkhead answered. 

"What? How could you possibly know that?" Starscream yelled. 

"We're wasting our time." Ratchet said, and he and Bulkhead started walking back into the groundbridge, but I wasn't satisfied. 

"Wait, that's all I know!" Starscream pleaded.
