Shockwave watched the cameras carefully a day later or so as his gleaming yellow optic analysing the secret cameras, he put inside of both the Ark and the Nemesis. Since Megatron had left them behind, he had to take control of the Decepticons again. One of the experiment, specifically number 36, he heard shuffling in the bed but he didn't pay them attention as he began to grab extractions of plant cell, dozens and dozens coming out as strings as he put the strings carefully in the cool freezer, enough to cool them down for 10 minutes. He closed the door and moved one of the cameras to the other direction. Seeing Shifter move the crates around as Shockwave watched with every frame taken into picture. Shifter was such a odd Autobot to the point where it was confusing for even Shockwave to figure him out in any way. Shifter was an anomaly, his patterns usually involving passive jobs, taking care of plants and rarely ever getting involved in stuff like battles or fighting. Shockwave watched Shifter move away from the storage room before he decided to go through the secret lab. He grabbed a few of the classified human files on chemicals from shelves as he opened them up, revealing private human experiments mainly those around 20th century before experimenting with humans got worldwide banned. There was stuff like some of the human radiation experiment and some of the bio-fuel experiments. After firmly studying every word for a hour or two, he put the files back. He went back into the room and saw one of the kids who had woken up.
The boy was another one of the biological experiments that Shockwave had tested on. He had biological organic tires around his legs, his licensing plate was on his arm and the outside mirror was on his shoulder. There was little to no metal required to make this experiment, he remembered. The kid looked up as he said "There's a commotion in one of the rooms, I got frightened and decided to tell you." The kid knew everyone particularly didn't like the scientist but they were powerless to do anything plus, he is the only one who can command respect apart from some of the older experiments. Shockwave listened to the sound waves and noticed the noises. "Very well, I will be back 'kid'." And with that, he left. He didn't see them as human, to him they were more valuable than humans. But he didn't consider them a sentient being who can feel pain. To him, they were just experiments, things to be tested on. Shockwave entered the room seeing that a older experiment was manhandling a younger one and everyone crowded not helping her. Immediately Shockwave said "You two stop. And especially to you, you now have a warning." Which made everyone look at him and the older teenager dropped the young girl and immediately went out of the room. The girl slowly got up while cradling her arm as Shockwave nodded 8 left the room. "M-My arm..." She groaned as two of the experiments helped her up and moved towards the medical room where the one who healed everyone was at as they saw the girl come in with her bleeding arm. "Sit down." And she sat down as they began to stop her bleeding.
Meanwhile the older experiment cursed quietly as he went through the corridors and into the other room as Shockwave changed to the cameras in this lab. Soon he went to the freezer and took out the cold strands of plant cells as he examined them under the microscope. He began to put the long strands on the tray and cut them into pieces. He saw the small pieces that was laid out on the dark grey trays and cut them slowly in halves before putting them in a test beaker full of water. Curious to test out his own personal experiment and grabbed two more beakers. He did the process for the whole plant cells twice again to be frozen, collected and then cut in half before putting them in the beakers. Shockwave began to heat up the first beaker and the water reached high temperatures as he noticed that they began to melt inside of the beaker as it filled the water with a sort of misty-green/silver thing. That one was for 5 minutes, so he recorded the results down. He began to test the other two. One for 10 minutes and the other for 15 minutes. Interestingly, the results came out in a way he didn't expect. With the 10 minute one, he grabbed the beaker and added chemicals like hydrochloric acid, some toxic Cybertronian chemicals like Redian Rust (which is basically cosmic rust liquidised) and other stuff. He grabbed the beaker and slowly went to the fresh human corpse that was under the sheets. He removed the sheet and poured some of the liquid on the human's arm as their tissue began to burn off into a red mess.
Shoclkwave put down the results on his own clipboard and afterwards pulled the face of the dead human and smearing some of the chemical there. Soon the skin started to blister as red spots and bleeding started to happen as he confirmed his thoughts. It seems like was something with the plants that even cybertonic chemicals had reacted to and he put the first beaker away before grabbing the second one. He put simply inside Redian Rust and nectar as he mixed it together by slowly stirring it anti-clockwise. Soon it became a odd weird liquid that was dark orange before deciding to pour it slightly on the human corpse's right arm and the effects started to be seen, the DNA of cells began to fall apart and signs of internal bleeding was seen with purple bruises appearing on the body. He grabbed a long metallic sliver scalpel from his tray and began to cut where the internal bleeding was at as blood fell to the floor. Shockwave opened the wound with his fingers, seeing the slick but uneven tissue that was an dark red colour before it became something pinkish-red. He began to cut a small chunk of the tissue inside as he grabbed an wet but soft string of flesh. Shockwave pulled the string of flesh upwards and grabbed tongs nearby as he began to cut out small red pieces which didn't have a smooth piece. He began to put it in a small container that also had the large chunk. Shockwave got upwards wiping his own servos which had blood covering them and put the container in the freezer before going back to his usual watching with cameras.
He began to change to different screens before finding landing on one. Soon, he went to camera 54 which he saw that there was a dead Decepticon in one of the rooms and zoomed in. The greyscale system has made it difficult to see what was going on. Shockwave clicked on the button which increased the view of the screen and saw something interesting. The Decepticon's body was covered in roots and vines with his chest torn open with wires coming out. The wires were wrapped around a large artificial streetlight that was for some reason in the Nemesis. Shockwave saw the screen flicker for a moment and in the next frame, Megatron appeared holding his gun cautiously at the dead Decepticon before moving away. What was Megatron doing here? Shockwave thought curiously as he decided that was enough experimentation in this lab for one day. Before he left, he told his labelled experiments not to cause trouble while he was out. And a blue figure with a red visor was watching secretly as Shockwave had been completely engrossed with his experiments.
And Starscream who was currently in his silhouette form was seeing that Shockwave's solution was very interesting but was less simple than how he made Ashridas Viltain, which was a complicated process especially considering it needed two flowers and things not usually included in chemicals. And he saw Soundwave come out staring after Shockwave with what seems to be confusion. Starscream was wondering what the blue con was thinking, after all he was a difficult person to read after all. "Find Shockwave, he must have important information." Before Soundwave also left, making the grinning Seeker somehow smile even more. But for now the seeker needed to deal with a certain human, so he decided to go back into the vortex. Shockwave was currently looking over the recorded footage as something was bothering him with how Megatron had left the area. He needed to find him and figure out what his leader was doing even if it was risky. Shockwave may be logical but he knew that even the most informative things have risks. And he didn't want to just rush himself in, no he needed to get answers even if it got to be the slowest way possible.
