[u]Darkstar[/u]

The Autobot took the chip and led the way into the cave, moving deeper and deeper into the ground. It was a maze of caverns, and it was impressive that the sentry didn't get lost. The path twisted and turned, leading ever deeper into the depths of Cybertron. After what seemed like an eternity, they finally stepped into a vast, open chamber. There was a mess of equipment scattered about this room, but what was really eyecatching was the number of bots in the room. There were a few hundred Autobots in here, but this was obviously not the only room. More tunnels branched out from the chamber, through which Autobots were constantly moving in and out of the chamber. The pair approached a small bot that was attending to a trio of technicians, but as they approached, he turned to face them. Even though this bot was considerably smaller than Darkstar, he showed no sign of fear in his optics. There was something that could only be called defiance in his optics, and a hint of hatred as well. The escort stood up straight and said, [b]"Hyperspeed, this is that 'Con I told you about."[/b] Hyperspeed nodded and held out a hand. The bot handed Hyperspeed the weapons chip and dismissed the bot, who then began the climb back to his post. Hyperspeed then held up the chip and said, [b]"You get this back when you're well out of our territory. Don't bother trying to call your little Decepticon friends, because it won't work."[/b] The reason for this wasn't given, but Darkstar didn't have the time to question it before Hyperspeed was already gesturing for the Seeker to follow.

Darkstar was led to another, smaller chamber, and even though the place was obviously cleaned up regularly, there was still a thin patina of grease lining parts of the cavern. Repair benches, which looked like they'd been forcefully ripped from a wall, were placed at regular intervals. Several of the benches were occupied, with mechanics moving between patients. They approached an especially large mechanic, who was as tall as Darkstar and much broader. [b]"Spotweld! Got another patient for you."[/b] Spotweld, a deep blue bot with white highlights, turned to face them. A slight grin reached his face as he looked at the new arrival. [b]"A Decepticon? Been a while since we managed to capture one. Have a seat."[/b] Spotweld nodded to Hyperspeed, who then returned to the main chamber to continue his duties.

[u]Overboost[/u]
By the time Overboost reached the hideout, the patrol he was following had already entered the cave. Two bots stood guard at the entrance, and his shout caught their attention. One looked directly at him and said, [b]"Who wants to know?"[/b] They walked over to him, and their optics widened when they saw what he actually looked like. [b]"You're an Actionmaster. Follow me, Hyperspeed will want to speak with you."[/b] Just as with Darkstar, the bot got on the radio. [b]"Hyperspeed, another Actionmaster turned up... Yes, of course."[/b] Again, the bot turned to Overboost. [b]"Come with me."[/b] He walked into the cave, but whether or not Overboost followed remained to be seen. They made no move to deactivate his weapons.

[u]Metalstorm[/u]
When the lone Autobot flier began attacking the other Autobots, the Seekers were concerned, but did not question it. Instead, they moved in to assist him, marking him as friendly and keeping track of his movements. With the scale tipped in the favor of the Decepticons, the Autobot fliers were quickly and efficiently shot down. The Seekers then pulled even with Metalstorm and got on their radios again. [b]"Why did you attack them? Weren't they your allies?"[/b] There was confusion in their tones, but also gratitude.
