Starscream was in his quarters, wondering what had Lord Megatron dazed. He had heard rumors that it was a simple Vehicon. But that would imply that Megatron had ties to a soldier. Starscream had to investigate, because if Megatron had a connection to such a weak link, he obviously had to exploit it. Being he had roamed the halls so many times it was not hard to overhear names being swapped, and there was one he heard constantly and with seeming importance.

B6.

Starscream walked into the main bridge where all their information was stored. Starscream had to admit it, the walls lined with datapads that were glowing with information was impressive. Every single data pad was overflowing with knowledge on every single battle tactic, cybertronian weapon, earth weapon, and every possible weakness of a Prime.

Starscream quickly bought his gaze to a tall dark figure that had previously been in his peripheral vision. There he saw the long, slender arms of Soundwave constantly reach up for different datapads. He was discharging battle tactics all into one large file. Starscream knew that if anyone could find the location of any trooper, it would be Soundwave. Quickly Starscream walked up behind Soundwave, making the information Chief internally groan. So Soundwave turned to Starscream to prevent any unnecessary physical contact.

"Soundwave!" Starscream feigned his joyful voice, "You know all about the troopers and their whereabouts, yes? I need you to find me a B6." Starscream smiled. Soundwave kept still, but he was still shocked. Soundwave had already figured out that Starscream knew something, he just hoped he only knew the Vehicon's name.

"Specify." Soundwave demanded in his cold robotic tone.

"Pardon?" Starscream asked, his wings drooping in confusion.

"60 Designations beginning with B6 found." Soundwave was not lying. There was a whole squad filled with Troopers who's code began with B6.

"I would have thought the communications officer, and Megatron's official spy, would have known what B6 I'm talking about." Starscream spoke in his arrogent tone.

Soundwave felt his spark drop to his tanks. He couldn't tell Starscream, if he knew, then Megatron would soon find out. And if Megatron knew Soundwave his this information from him, pits if Megatron even thought that Soundwave had just failed him. No. He would not lose his position. He had worked too hard to be by his masters side. He would not let this nosy, pit spawn seeker get inbetween him and his Megatron again!

"Undocumented activity regarding Troopers. Please specify." Soundwave was speaking with rage, but his voice box stopped any emotions from coming through. However he needed to test Starscream, bring out the coward he is and force him to back down. And it seemingly worked, Starscream became unsure of himself.

"Well then, I demand to see the Status reports of all Troopers." Starscream said propping his wings back up.

"Classified info." Soundwave countered.

"For lower class officers. Have you've forgotten I'm second in command." Starscream pushed passed Soundwave who withheld his urge to knock him into a wall, and grabbed the files he needed. And without a word, his heels clacked right back out of the hallways.

Soundwave stood panicked. He contemplated telling Megatron to reprehand Starscream, but what reason did he have? No he had to keep Megatron out of this, it was for his own good. He had to get B6 to leave.

Soundwave reached through his millions of contacts, He pulled up B6's and commed him.

B6 felt a pang of fear as he got a comm, he saw it wasn't Megatron and felt relief, but confusion upon seeing it was Soundwave.
