> Dio turned his head up as a notification appeared on the screen in his room. Seeing such advanced technology was a bit strange, but intriguing nevertheless. Casually glancing over the message, Dio slid a bookmark into his book before standing up and placing the book to the side.

> "Though I'd rather not fight the way I am right now... I guess it'd help to test my current strength in actual combat." he stated to himself as he left the room. Moving around the base and making his way to the hangar, Dio glanced at the time glowing dimly on a digital clock on the wall.

**[ Blackout: Shadow Eternity main hangar ]**

As the human entered the hangar Blackout immediately did a quick scan. He could detect weapons, heartbeat, temperature distribution, pheromone excretion, and a whole other multitude of statistics. Of course, the main item he was searching for was those pesky projectile weapons. Although most of them couldn't even come close to scratching his paint, certain types of their ammunition lead to his downfall at the hands of the humans. He was strong in his conviction never to let that happen again. Such an embarrassment was unbecoming of both a Cybertronian and a member of the Decepticons.


After determining there was no threat, Blackout proceeded to ignore the human. Despite some interesting differences from the humans he had seen before, it didn't have any weapons, nor did it seem to notice him. Even the second one to arrive in the area posed no immediate threat. So with no more threats evident for the moment, Blackout went back to waiting on standby. He wasn't one to take things into his own hands, and would not move without a direct order if he had to. This served the purpose of conserving energy as well as avoiding any possible repercussions from his superiors.
