Sklog had just finished personalizing his quarters with various knick-knacks he had found around the barracks when he heard Nightscream's voice in his head. The news that Optimus had died didn't faze Sklog much, he had never fought the Autobot leader and didn't hold a lot of hate towards him either though Sklog quickly realized that the other bot's must have been pretty upset about the revelation. Sklog didn't say a word but gave a quick glance at his old chassis then began quickly heading back to the main level to join Nightscream on the trek to the dead bot. 

Sklog finally got up to the main level after a few minutes of ascending the stairs which made him think back to his tumble down the stairs and how it was so much faster to go down the stairs than it was to go up. He looked out to the tundra of cybertron and got ready to make his slow journey as he had not intention of transforming which he didn't want to do right away for a few reasons one being he didn't want to spoil the surprise of his alt-form.
