Bumblebee had woken up feeling his head hurt as he sat up in his bed. His blue optics glanced around himself seeing that he was in the medbay and was taken in by Ratchet to get Bumblebee examined for his injuries. Bumblebee noticed the doctor scanning and examining the other patients before turning to him.
"So how are you feeling?" Ratchet asked as Bumblebee got up as his optics readjusted. Bumblebee replied saying "I feel fine, and can you tell me what happened?" Bumblebee said trying to remember anything out of his scrambled memory as he looked up at the tired doctor in front of his medical breth. Ratchet sighed before explaining what had happened to the poor bot.
"Basically Optimus needs some time alone and some of our warriors are injured." Ratchet said to Bumblebee bluntly as he Bumblebee sat up in confusion before asking "Who was injured, Ratchet?" Bumblebee asked before Ratchet took a long moment to attempt to say this the best way possible.
"Well we have Skydivet and Springer here. Hot Rod is also injured and currently resting here." Bumblebee looked surprised seeing that they were injured considering they were the Autobot's best warriors so far. Ratchet sighed glancing at Bumblebee's condition before saying to him and crossing his arms.
"Your injures are healed up for now. You should be fine for now." Ratchet said before Bumblebee got up feeling dizzy as he looked at the medic. He nodded before getting up and walking outside of the medbay as he was in a open area as Ratchet went to work. He saw that some of the Autobots particularly the engineers were busy with the maintenance and some of the soldiers and warriors were busy with handling the guns that were recently ordered.
Soon Bumblebee went through the corridor and into the rec room seeing Hot Spot and Hauler talking to each other as they soon saw the small Autobot. They ever him over before both of them said "Heya! Come here. We have to tell ya something."
Bumblebee looked at them before arriving as his optics looked up and down at their appearance. Hot Spot had bandages around his arms and a slightly cracked optic while Hauler had some rough dents in his crane and a few plaster. Bumblebee asked about both of them "Jeez you two look like a rough mess, are you two okay?"
Both of them glanced at the small bot before Hot Spot repiled first before Haluer did "Yeah we are fine little Bee. A few wounds there and then." Haluer turned around and said afterwards "Can we ask for a favour Bumblebee?" Bumblebee nodded looking curious and excited about the favour as the door creaked gently and a couple of Autobots entered probably to get some weapons or other stuff.
"Sure, what is the favour?" Bumblebee asked as Hauler soon said to him "Well can you help with a couple of supplies? Our energon materials are starting to run out." Bumblebee noticed the hesitation in Hauler's voice before wondering why Hauler seemed a lot more hesitant than usual.
Hot spot soon replied, "Yeah we also had a few run downs, but we also noticed the large number of Autobots losing more warriors than usual." Hauler soon turned to Hot spot putting his opinion in the conversation "Do you think that the Decepitcons are starting to act up?" Hot Spot shrugged as Bumblebee noticed the lights starting to flicker in the vividly bright room. It was starting to give him another headache.
"Has anyone fixed the lights just yet?" Bumblebee asked as Hauler looked up shaking his head and his voice laced with not much amusement "No. We have been experiencing a lot more battles as of late and shortages to the point that we forgot about it." Hot spot replied to Hauler with a slight smirk however...
"You know? I think that Chormedome has been angrier as of late. Almost threw a pot of noodles at me." Hot spot chuckled as Bumblebee perked up "He threw a pot of noodles at you?" Hot spot nodded as Hauler shook his head knowing what to expect from that communication officer who had anger issues. Bumblebee was trying to ignore his headache as he listened to Hot spot saying...
"Yeah! Something about me trying to act better than him and began ranting about my attitude." Hot spot seemed unconcerned as Bumblebee and Hauler gave each other a look. Hot spot in all honesty despite being calm was known to be a bit narrow-minded which makes people see him as egoistical. Hot spot despite this meant well to the Autobots.
Soon all three of them heard the door open and saw Prowl come in. Prowl had a frowning look on his face and his blue optics landed on them "Well I do have some troubling news. The power of the engines had shut down and some of the electrical wiring seems to be deliberately cut. I want you lot to come with me and investigate."
All three of them stared at each other before following Prowl. The ship was no longer moving and the sounds of quick footsteps echoed throughout the Ark as panicked voices reached through the corridors to their audio receptors. Soon they entered the engine room where some of the fuel tanks was broken, and the main engine was in disarray.
The electrical wiring was cut with sparks flying out of it, there was a couple of rusted pipes lying on the floor and there was a couple of energon spills that came from the fuel tanks. The stairs had a few shards of metals on it and the railing looked to have some scratch marks on them. Some of the lightblubs were shattered as glass was across the floors.
The four Autobots glanced at each other before they went downstairs to the main engines. They investigated the torn room as Bumblebee and Hauler eyed the fuels tanks and Prowl and Hot spot analysed the wiring.
Prowl felt the long, thick cable of the wiring with his slick metallic hand as he turned around "I am very sure that this is deliberate. It looks like someone attempted to destroy the engines here." The Autobots looked at each other worriedly as Bumblebee spoke up.
"Do you think that this could be a trick from the Decepticons?" Bumblebee asked as Hauler and Hot spot discussed the assumption with each other. Prowl had a thoughtful look before saying to them "I can't deny that possibility, but this seems less subtle than what the Decepticons usually do. So, we should look around more-"
Prowl got a call on his com-link and picked it up saying "Yes? Oh, you want me to go? Right, I will be there. Prowl out." Prowl soon turned to the four Autobots and said "I must get going. I have a mission that Optimus gave me. I will see you three later." Prowl went outside with that usual look of seriousness as Hauler replied...
"We should investigate this later. Want to meet up tomorrow?" Hot spot and Bumblebee nodded before all of them went their separate ways. Hot spot went down to the library hoping to figure out some information about the main Decepitcons while Bumblebee went to the mess hall and Hauler went to the training room.
Hot spot after a while felt the feeling of being watched. He soon turned around seeing a shadowy figure that was on the window which was on the roof of the ark. The shadowy figure had red optics along with a cloak that swayed in the wind as they glanced down at Hot spot. He blinked seeing the figure disappear as he looked around for a moment before deciding it was his imagination.
He pushed the feeling of being watched for now...
