Starscream frowned. "..And what did you tell them?"

Once Starscream spoke, the pirate captain grins at Spinister. "A bit by accident...but lemme answer these in th' propah order, accordin' tae when they 'appened." he says, motioning to Starscream.
"Xaaron were curious as t' details of me own universe. Told 'im I were an explorer o' sorts back 'ome. Tried t' ask him stuff about 'imself, but Nightbeat got roit ornery and attacked me...which leads up t' yer questions" he explains, smirking.
"Th' blue buggah grabs me, so I shot 'im in th' face, and threw some covah fire at Xaaron. Not quite aiming to 'it, but as ah drove out, managed to see that I -did- manage to 'it 'im." The pirate cackles, stroking his chin a bit. "On me way oot, I 'ad realized I dinnae 'ave me radio - it were damaged in th' fight--" Cannonball cuts a look at Starscream "--and Perceptor were gonna repair it. Figgered that if I wanted to git oot alive, and 'be able t' git back in touch, I needed t' convince the 'Bots tae let 'im finish, and t' let me go."
"So, on me way out, I spot th' wee lil' 'Oli. I'd observed a'fore that he seemed t' git along real well wit' Perceptor. So I snatched 'im up and flew off t' Repair, and tricked 'im and the Autobots intae thinkin' I'd stuck a bomb in his back." He snickers a bit. "T'was jus' an empty energon flask!" He adds a hearty pirate laugh to the previous snicker. "They took th' bait, and I got me radio repaired, and a clean getaway. Aftah I got oot o' th' forest--" Cannonball points to the line of trees on the map. "--I called for pickup."

Doesn'r sounds like Cannonball accidentally on purpose killed Emirate Xaaron. Darn. Spinister listens to the rest of the story and takes notes and looks ready to ask some more pointed questions.
Then he snaps his stylus in his hand. Spinister looks out-and-out alarmed. As cold as he, he really has to be distressed for it to show like that, and he is. His pale teal optics flash, and he curses, "Of all the transistor-shorting, etched up, acid dipped things that could happen!"
Spinister has raided Needlenose's closet of circuitry terms, apparently. He stamps his foot into the ground and then forces himself calm. Spinister turns to regard Starscream and explains coldly, "We're compromised on both freqs if he's bugged, and we have to assume that he is until we receive other confirmation. We need to take them down and switch now or only put up pure disinformation on them from now on."

Starscream's cube slipped from his hand at the revelation of Cannonball's casual statement. "WHAT?!" He started to pace about. "Pure disinformation--on TWO channels. Trying to convince Skyfire there is only one at the same time..."
Starscream began transmitting to certain trusted members of the his Empire. He pointed a finger at Spinister. "Spinister. Contact Skyfire, Needlenose and this 'Rat Bat' person. Immediate radio silence on all open frequencies. Get them to spread the word." And then to Cannonball, he turned. "And you. Report to our repair bay. Now. I don't want you to do so much as tune in some easy listening until we establish that there isn't a threat."
Damn it, Starscream is going to need some tools... "Spinister, inform Needlenose I need either him or access to his tools."
He left his cube where it lay, making his way to the Repair bay immediately.
OOC: Assuming people have nothing else to say, or if Cannonball doesn't join Starscream in making his way towards the repair bay, This is a pose-out .

Well. Sue Cannonball for not catching on. He's not used to dealing in such elaborate treacheries. He's used to killing off the opposition and taking their stuff!
However, the pirate snarls, storming off after Starscream, and punching a good sized dent in a nearby building, muttering the most foul of curses upon Perceptor's maternal factory, design line, and the scientist himself. And maybe a few at Xaaron, Holi, and random other assorted Autobots.
---------- OOC: Cannonball is out as well.

Spinister does not stop Starscream. Spinister has a whole bunch of people to radio and a headache.
It must be interview time, then.
