Of Drones and Logic

Absolute Truth Part 1: Aftermath of Trypticon

"Soundwave, I understand your confusion on why Grimlock and I are in the same room. It is a long story, but I am sure to inform you momentarily." Shockwave explained to Soundwave, noticing the silent Con's obvious bewilderment.

"Боже мой, N, what in mother Russia had happened to your arm?!" Doll exclaimed to N. Soundwave looked at Doll in wonder before turning towards N, surprised to see his left arm was replaced by a cybertronian arm.

"Oh, this? Trypticon happened." N smiled in reply. Soundwave flinched at the mention of that name, snapping his helm towards Shockwave.

"Like I said, it is a long story." Shockwave replied again.

"Ok... We'll set that conversation aside for now. Why exactly have you called us over in the middle of nowhere?" Doll asked with her arms crossed.

"Because we need Soundwave's hacking skills to redirect a few telescopes." V replied with her hands on her hips.

[- Why? -] Soundwave asked through recordings.

"Because Uzi knows the location on the one place that could tell us what the Solver really is and where it came from." J replied as well. This, of course, left Soundwave and Doll surprised.

"Really? How? How could Uzi possibly know where we could find answers to that question?" Doll questioned, giving a skeptical look.

"Because he told me." Uzi explained, looking away from the console she was typing on. Doll looked at her with a raised brow.

"Who told you?"

"Optimus Prime."

Doll's jaw dropped, recognizing the name Soundwave told her. Soundwave froze from what Uzi just revealed to him and the Russian worker.

[- How? - Optimus - Is - Deceased. -]

Uzi looked at the two, letting out a sigh as she slowly spun around the chair she sat on to face them.

"I've already explained it to the others, but I still have the energy to explain it to guys too." Uzi told them.

"I'm going to make sure the array is functioning properly." Shockwave stated to everyone else before he left the room through the window.

As Uzi began to explain what happened to her back at the labs, Grimlock looked over to the window Shockwave left through.

-------------------------------------------------------------

A while later, Shockwave was just about finished with looking over the state of the radio dishes they plan to locate the place Optimus told Uzi about.

Shockwave couldn't actually believe it when Uzi told him and the others. Optimus Prime's spark somehow became Uzi's life force through the mystic power the Primes possess.

It was illogical to think it was even possible for such a phenomenon to even occur. But, no matter how illogical it was, Shockwave wasn't even going to bother fighting it.

He already gave up trying to find the logic in everything since the Absolute Solver. Basically ANYTHING could happen at this point; The impossible was now his average Tuesday.

But it did explain how Uzi's eyes would become blue instead of purple or yellow. And it pretty much confirms his suspicions that the three humans Uzi saw in one of her visions days before were in fact the Autobots' human allies, Jack, Miko and Raf.

Shockwave also believe Optimus' spark was what severed Uzi's connection to Cyn before that unholy demon was defeated.

Shockwave heard someone climbing up to the roof, causing him to turn his helm to see Grimlock approaching him with two energon cubes.
