Glitch let out a low growl, unhappy that Metalingus had just closed and locked the door on the armory, although now he had memorized the code. Silently he followed his fellow Cybertron down the corridors.
"It's too soon to know", Convoy replied to Reaper, and, as he turned he saw the Cybertron trying to get a better look. Noble Convoy moved back towards the door, out stretching his arms and allowing Grunt and Dinoboss to do their job. Just then Metalingus and Glitch arrived, causing Convoy to try and exercise even more caution as he motioned all the bots back.
"All right, keep back and let Dinoboss and Grunt do their duty!", soothed the commander.
Inside the auto-sprinkler's finally tuned off and the steam slowly began to disperse, revealing to the two Cybertrons inside the huge burned out shell of the computer console. Shreiker lie mangled on the floor still, her optics as black as the space outside with half her body burnt and mangled by the explosion.

Reaper looking inside the room while keeping his distance.
"Highly unlikely that the computer overloaded. The ship's systems would have picked it up long before it did something like this. Besides, I've never known a computer to explode in this manner."
He lowered his head out of respect, silently hoping Primus guided Sheiker to the Well of Allsparks.
"I also doubt she would have been making some sort of explosive. All the explosive compounds are under maximum security protocols, aren't they?"

"We should leave Dinoboss to his work, this area is off limits", requested Convoy, "Grunt, take Reaper back to Cargo bay "B" and get that mess cleaned up, take either Metalingus or Glitch with you if you need an extra pair of hands.
As the lights continued to flash - now silently, an automated message came over the tannoy:
+++ COMMS +++
ATTENTION!!
Cybertronian shuttlecraft approaching outer perimeter! Station still on high proximity alert. Co-ordinates L65938 - L2186. Status: shields enabled, weapons: powered down. Now approaching, L65938 - L2180 and counting...
T-Minus: 4 kicks until arrival.
(Repeat): Cybertronian shuttlecraft approaching outer perimeter...
+++ COMMS +++
=================================================
Outside the station the Cybertron Torrent was arriving back from an assignment in deep space, but as he approached the station he was reading the shields up and the whole place on high proximity alert....

"Lets see now, four klicks away so lets go and give them a big hello" Torrent was feeling rather good as he'd finished his mission with flying colours. It felt like nothing was going to ruin his day. Just as he was about to speak into his com there was a little high pitched beep and then up on the screen came a status report on the ship. "Oh, looks like I've got an update on the ship" he said cheerfully as he took his attention to the screen. "Okay then, yes, uh-huh, oh what have we got he--" He stopped immediatly as he saw that the ship's shields were up and that it was on high alert. "Oh c'mon! You've got to be kidding me! I'm lucky that the weapons arn't online! So much for a good day!" He shouted. "Seriously. Okay thats it I'm gonna give them a little buzz up" he said angrily as he set up his com.
*SHIP COMM*
"Hey! Glitches! This is Torrent! You know, the one in the approaching SHUTTLECRAFT! Well. I was wondering... What in the Pit has gotten you bots all worked up to have the shields on and on full Alert!! Over "
*SHIP COMM*

dinoboss got an alert through his HUD about the incoming ship. He always kept himself connected to the security mainframe. he received the transmission from Torrent and replied, while still searching for clues
"We had an incident in crew quarters. More information will be released by me when the time comes. continue your approach , I will send the order to security to give you access through the shields."
He sent the necessary orders to security and continued what he was doing.

"Alrighty then" Mumbled Torrent and he shut off his comm link. "Good to hear someone was at home". Slouching in his seat, he looked aimlessly at the screen as the little craft made its way towards the ship. 'Not too far to go now....'

Reaper made his way back to Cargo Bay B, pausing momentarily when the ship's automated massage alerted them to an incomming shuttle. He was about to turn back and ask Noble Convoy if he was needed to handle it, but then remembered that earlier on, another Cybertron had been sent out on a mission.
Reaper turned back to Grunt.
"Better get that Cargo Bay sorted out, maybe find out who made a mess of it in the first place."

Noble left the area and began heading towards the cargo bay to meet the new arrival, ordering Glitch to accompany him. Using his arm communicator he hoped the ship was in range enough to recieve his transmission
+++ COMMS +++
Torrent, is that you? If you can recieve this transmission the head to cargo bay "A" repeat, cargo bay "A" - and I'll meet you there.
Convoy out.
+++ COMMS +++
=================================================
As Dinoboss sifted through the remains of the burnt-out shell of a computer console, he found reasoned that the location of the explosion came from somewhere round the back of the console. Just through the back of the console, through the huge hole something glinted and caught his eye, a small charred black device, boxed-shaped although now extremely mangled..

"Okay then. So Convoy said Cargo bay A" said Torrent as he set the destination. He sighed happily "Autopilot makes everything so much less of a hassle". He lent back in his chair. "That makes 2 respondee's"

Reaper turned back to Grunt. "Better get that Cargo Bay sorted out, maybe find out who made a mess of it in the first place."Grunt turned to Reaper. 'Agreed. But first things first. We make a stop at the armory and get ourselves geared up. As far as I'm concerned, this base has been turned into hostile grounds. Metalingus your with us. We get our gear and triple time cleaning up docking bay B and lock it down. Ain't no way am I havin' the explosive material in that area turned against me.'

Reaper nodded as Grunt spoke.
"I know what you mean. I'm starting to feel less than safe right about now."
Reaper followed Grunt and Metalingus to the armoury. Once inside, Reaper stowed his sword and his throwing stars. He waited for Grunt and Metalingus to get their gear before heading back to the cargo bay.

Convoy and Glitch marched into docking bay "A", just in time to see the shuttle-craft enter the hangar on an approach run and silently land in one of the marked "landing zones" on the deck floor. Together they awaited to greet their long-distance traveler, already they had a lot to fill Torrent in on.

Metalingus grabbed his gear and stowed it, awaiting for Grunt to do the same so they could leave. "I can't believe Sheiker is gone. Damn, i hope Dinoboss gets too the bottom of this"

Torrent walked casualy out of the shuttle to find Convoy and Glitch waiting for him. "Hey Convoy, Glitch" He said as he nodded a greeting to them in turn. "The mission was a success but how's everything holding up? Or do we always have the shields up with the ship on high alert now?"
