Soundwave who was uncharacteristically disappointed by what happened looked over the rest of the Decepticons and asked "Question: Which Decepticon had decided that they should disrupt the energon flow?" And everyone looked at each other wondering who to accuse. Drag Strip suddenly whispered something to Blast off and they turned to look at Thundercracker who was nearby Skywrap and they were discussing Starscream's absence from the Decepitcons. He had separated himself from them but somehow kept the Decepticon symbols on his wings. Both of them pointed at the blue seeker and everyone followed along. Soundwave knew that he was getting into risky territory but Thundercracker seemed the most likely one to do to it. "Very well, take him to the back." And Skywrap was about to protest until Swindle and Hook grabbed Thundercracker with their servos and began to drag him through the corridor. Soon they had arrived to the dark room and Thundercracker struggled to fight back since both of the Decepticons' strengths had him incapacitated. Swindle turned on the lever and soon the large barred door with darkness covering it opened and soon they threw him inside of there. Swindle had a cruel smirk on his face while Hook looked pretty annoyed. Thundercracker's screams came through there as they both left him. Honestly the back of the nemesis was the most dangerous to enter through there and usually, people were not seen again. As they arrived, Skywrap was completely silent and those two told Soundwave they dealt with Thundercracker. Skywrap realized he was completely by himself now. Not only did Starscream leave him but Thundercracker was gone to who knows where at this point.
Thundercracker never felt so disorientated and yelled in pain. His hands were held firmly on his head as the sounds of breathing were heard nearby him. Suddenly the sound of something electronic blinking was heard before he saw something impossible appear in front of him, it was digital text but much smaller and appeared more glitchy. A familiar name with two colons appeared which said "Oh primus, where am I?" Which was Octane's name. Was Octane also trapped in here? Thundercracker wondered, the area was extremely dark but he had a feeling this wouldn't end well for himself. He heard the ground below him rumbling and he fell through, his optics having red dizzy symbols in them as he fell through a large pitch-back area that led to nowhere at this point. His intakes felt heavy and it felt like someone was scratching them. There was the absence of heat but also no coldness, leaving this impossible feeling of in-between feeling that made Thundercracker's frame feel discomforting. Plasma saliva fell down from his chin as he was drooling and his wings stiffed and made him unable to fly. He blinked and turned, the feeling of falling never ending as minutes ticked by. He wondered where he got sent at but it was nothing good. A million pixels passed through his vision, making everything blurry and fuzzy. Minutes turned into hours and he turned his head seeing the pool of glass below him. "Wait, I'm alone, again." He said as there was the knowing feeling that he wasn't going to be saved anytime soon. He thought about what Skywrap would think, if he only knew if he was being tortured. "Is anyone there? Help... Help me." He called out as he heard the shattering noise of the glass below him and he knew no more.
Skywrap had no idea what had happened to Thundercracker now and the rest of the Decepticons had left him as they went to refix the ship. He looked towards the direction where the back of the nemesis was. So, this was what he was left with huh? His two members, now completely gone. He had hoped to lighten up the moment but had no jokes to tell, the cruelty felt hallow and the loud laugh of Megatron's voice echoed through his head. This was just so stupid, he thought that they would care enough to remain. But Starscream never cared and Thundercracker had played daredevil. It just felt so stupid, seeing how this turned out. And he had no choice but to go back to his quarters after refueling himself. No one cared for him and Thundercracker was last person who did. After a while, Soundwave looked coldly where Skywrap had gone to and shook his head before moving back to his office. He looked at where Megatron's throne room was and had made plans to board it up. Soundwave had gotten a call from Shockwave telling him that he got the energon crates and is coming back to initiate a new experiment. Soundwave understood and told Shockwave to come to him to unload it. Meanwhile the rest of the Decepticons were talking about everything that has happened so far. About 2/10 of the Decepticons have been utterly killed which was a extremely large amount. The seekers, Gunwing remained close to Phantom who said "So what did you suspect would have happened?" And Gunwing said "I don't know, anything but all of this." And Thrust who had lost his optic and arm responded to him "Ugh, whatever, I'm going to the medbay, Hook mentioned he would get some parts for me." He left and Gunwing also said he needed to go. Phantom nodded and both went in completely opposite directions.
Phantom opened up his datapad before saying to himself "Hm, I wonder how would we all improve after the massive damage that has been caused. Even some say they struggle to fight Autobots again." Phantom said before deciding to sit up more properly and continued to say "I should be calling Blueheat anyways." He suddenly heard a rotary phone calling nearby and turned to see where it was coming from. He got up and left his datapad on the couch while going away as Onslaught came inside trying to find the correct tools. Onslaught found Phantom's datapad and began to look through it but the datapad was as confusing as trying to find out Phantom's intentions which were shrouded in mystery, it mostly contained old Decepticon gun concepts, human poems and downloaded pixelated images which were hard to see through. Onslaught groaned in anger before putting it back on the couch and went back to doing what he needed to do. Phantom came back inside of the room feeling tricked by what happened and exclaimed "Wait, who decided to touch my device again?" And looked around seeing no one. "Let's hope that they didn't open anything up, that is the last thing I needed anyways." He looked through the tabs and saw that everything was okay. A notification popped up and it appeared that his package was coming. He muttered to himself "That book, I needed it." And went to the entrance of the nemesis. The Decepticon deliver came and gave it to him. "This is yours, correct?" They asked and Phantom said a yes. They left afterwards as Phantom grabbed it and went back inside. Shockwave passed by him and for a moment Phantom thought he saw Shockwave looking at the package but appeared looking away afterwards.
Hook soon fixed up Thrust's optic and went to his arm. "So your going to be done or what?" Thrust asked in a harsh manner as Hook only gave a smile that didn't reach his optics. "Soon, my teammate." He said that as he grabbed a pair of scalpel before deciding to dig it in Thrust's armour who winced. "Not too deep." Thrust said before Hook rolled his optics before stabbing it further before managing to get the thing out. "Hold still." Hook said before cutting it up and seeing the energon drip in his hands. There was something bulging in the metallic crust plating and Hook cut it out as the pure rotting smell of wires and one could call oil spilled on the grass came out as something was squirming in pain there. A slow servo slowly forced it out, like one examining a specimen produced in a lab. It was a skeletal thing crossed over with a bug, it had too many joints. It had dark green eyes full of some type of fear, if you could even call it fear. It's mandibles opening and closing as it gutted out a thick piece of metal. Hook grabbed the scissors and put the black bug on the table and soon forced it open. The bug screamed in pain as slick glue which was a natural part of it's anatomy came over the slick cutters. It's antenna was forced open into strips and Thrust had to cover his optics. He yelled "Are you done killing the bug!?" Hook nodded before putting the dismembered parts into a small container. He told him "Well, whatever that thing infected you, just going to make sure that you don't show anything extreme." Thrust questioned what does that even mean and Thrust said "As I would tell you, do not worry about that before grabbing a long needle in his hands and moving to the red conehead who now was concerned which was surprising, Thrust was rarely ever worried and plus he didn't like that bug being like that.
