Nightscream made a mental note not to offer any more rides as she was nearly planted to the ground by Sklog's weight. None the less, her engines were nothing if not powerful and picked up speed soon enough. As they approached the coordinates of Prime's landing, a familiar IFF transponder pinged her sensors. If she was in her protoform, her optics would have widened.

She would recognize the minicon anywhere, and if he was here, then Soundwave either wasn'T far behind, or at the very least was alive. Could Megatron have done it? Actually defeated Prime and the earthbound Autobots? Well, there was one minicon who could possibly shed light on what was happening in the distant corners of the universe.

As she apprached the autobots, she informed Sklog of the change in plans. "I need to go check something out. Get ready to drop. I'll be on wireless if the three of you need me." she said, cutting her engines to slow down and drop in altitude so that she could safely do a barrel roll to drop the former dinobot without making him suffer through (too) rough landing.

As soon as the weight was off of her, her engines screamed back to life and she blasted off, heading in the minicon's direction and sending a string of commands:

Laserbeak.Attach('Nightscream');
Laserbeak.TransferMissionLogs();[/code]
