Logic Dictates: A New Base
<i>In an old rundown part of the city lies a strange door, hidden in a large abandoned skyscraper and unused for quite some time. However, as of now activity rushes on inside this once forgotten place.</i>
"Well then, I was correct... An old Decepticon storage base. As I guessed, this planet is much like my own Earth... Someone from Cybertron was here, and using it to hold Energon and weapons no less."
<i>That, and a decent number of soldiers in storage apparently. Many robots walk through the base, lean tall and purple, with bits of cars attached to legs and shoulders that would seem to fit into a small-ish car when folded the right way.</i>
"Keeping troops shutdown in storage till needed, a fairly simple idea but one seldom used. Now then... What to do about the Dinobots?"
<i>Yes, that issue is quite a pressing one as of now. Such people will not simply bide their time once they are made aware of Decepticon forces here, and while cloning of some kind is a valid option it would take time and resources.</i>
"Perhaps these organics...? They seem to hold strange powers, and there is no need to tell them of my true goals here until it is too late for them. Yes, the humans could be valid pawns against my true foes if used properly."
<i>If he had a mouth, Shockwave would smirk as he sends a transmission to all the Vehicons around his new base. An entry into said, "Unused building" is left open at the front, his forces now having orders to not fire on any humans unless attacked themselves first and even then to attempt negotiations. Simply put, his aim here is to draw people in and if anyone who seems... Pliable and powerful is met, well perhaps they could be hired?</i>
"Yes that is correct, do not start a firefight unless it is against an Autobot. And even then I wish to keep our true nature hidden as much as possible, the organics here are not as weak as usual."
<i>With that, the large one-eyed robot steps up and walks toward the entry of the base, staring out from it and wondering who might show themselves in such a rundown part of this city.</i>
