Mirage stared at the unbelievable sight in shock. Skyfire was sitting against one of the walls talking to a seeker perched on his drawn-up knee. That would have been bad enough, but the seeker was Starscream! Skyfire, lovable, friendly, Skyfire, was a spy! Carefully, Mirage backed out of the chamber. He had to get back to the base now, so they could get Skyfire on his return.

It was a dull day in the Decepticon underwater base. So dull, in fact, that even Starscream took the day off to spend it with his trine. This was why there was no-one in the Command Center except for Megatron and Soundwave when Laserbeak came in from patrol.

“Hey, boss.” Laserbeak chortled over her telepathic link with Soundwave, “This one’s a killer, you better hook me up to the computer though, ‘cause you can’t get the full affect through sound only.”

Soundwave, knowing his cassette’s sense of humor, started to anticipate what Laserbeak had dug-up. Quickly he snatched the now-transformed cassette out of the air and connected her to the computer. The large screen light up, and showed the Autobot shuttle Skyfire transforming and landing in a large canyon. Quickly, he walked over to a hole in the ground and dropped down into it. Curious, the cassette followed down the hole. She arrived in time to see sky fire sitting on the ground while listening to Starscream talk about something, they could tell as Laserbeak had been to far away to tell.

Megatron growled with rage. Starscream had betrayed him! Whirling, he stalked to the door, calling though his com to his loyal troops to find Starscream at all costs!

~~

He was found five breems later, in his quarters with his trine watching the latest in a popular holo-vid series, with all the evidence that they had also watched the three previous. According to the security tapes he had been there all day, which lead it-self to an interesting question, if that hadn’t been Starscream, who was it?

~~

The Autobot base was in a state of up-roar. Every mech there was either loudly declaring that ‘they had known it all along’, or was hotly declaring Skyfire’s innocence. The higher officials were all in a meeting, talking about what to do, and the lower forces were about to riot.

In the rec room there were two clear sides, one for finding and interrogating Skyfire to find out what he had leaked to the ‘cons, and one that was hotly declaring Skyfire’s innocence. It was a sad fact, but the first side was larger, and appeared to be winning. The only mechs declaring Skyfire’s innocence were Ratchet, Wheeljack, Perceptor, and, unknown to anyone else, as he was in the security room, Red Alert. Red didn’t believe a word of what was said. He wasn’t the Security Officer for nothing, and he could tell when a mech was playing both sides. He knew about Punch and Dealer, he just made sure that they only got the information that he wanted them to have.

Settling back in his chair, he watched the growing conflict with one optic, scanning the other feeds with the other optic. It would sort itself out in time.
