Brawl just shrugs at the question and jerks a thumb at Vortex. "I'm with him. You sure we ain't bein' stealthy?"
He can be quiet! He totally snuck up on Octane and Sandstorm that one time! Or he will in the future. Or something.

Scourge presses his back flat to the wall, such that someone down the cross-corridor cannot see him.
Scourge considers what his clearance tells him about Assault. He considers how Vortex and Brawl remind him, at least in form, of Ro-Tor and Armourhide. Scourge considers the rest of his Commandos and what modes they took.
Then, he radios the Combaticons some questions and answers.

"Think he's pretty sure, Brawl," Vortex says after glancing back at them. Well, will you lookit that. He doesn't think he's ever seen a Decepticon lord sneak around before. It was quite a novel sight!
He then starts snickering when Scourge radios them. In fact he snickers so hard he doubles over and just laughs before sending his reply.

Brawl watches as Scourge enters Stealth Mode. "You're a natural, boss, even for bein' so big."
"Well, I thought we were doin' pretty well, until you peeked around the corner. I don't think all the gigglin' helped, either," he said, crossing his arms and glaring at Vortex. He doesn't get what's so funny!
Brawl's feet are becoming hot and itchy from the insulation. He doesn't know it yet, but he's going to be picking pink stuff out of his treads for a while. He raises one foot up to scratch it.

Scourge scowls over what he hears. Information has been withheld from him! Vortex doesn't cow properly, but Brawl does. Scourge wonders if he ought to tear Brawl limb from limb to teach him a lesson. He just barely restrains himself and probes the two for some more information. Maybe Assault is the one that Scourge needs to tear limb from limb.
This explains why Assault wanted that access to medical, however!
Scourge mutters, "My talents are many. Vortex... do you want Assault to know he is being watched?" He tilts his head. Vortex might have different things in mind than Brawl does.

At first, Assault had thought that they simply finally learned how to sneak properly. But just to be certain, he had decided to walk in a circle, always peeking around corners before rounding them, and then sees that his optimism was for naught. They've been taking their time! How annoying!
Hrmn, it would seem that Scourge decided to move on. No, wait, he can still hear him. That amber and wingtip pull back as he presses himself against the wall, careful not to let them see his shadow, keeping his audios trained on them while his optics dart to find a place to hide, should they come his way. Ah, yes, that storage room will do nicely.
Now, let's see if he can hear what they are talking about...

Vortex was going to make a very naughty comment about Scourge’s talents, but he manages to refrain from doing so. See? He does have self control!
“I’m pretty sure he already knows he’s bein’ watched no matter how stealthy we try to be.” Odd that Scourge didn’t know. This Shockwave sure liked keeping things under wraps, didn’t he? Now why would their previous leader make life ever so difficult for his subordinates, and on such a peculiar little something?
“‘Course, I guess there ain’t no harm in tryin’,” Vortex shrugs, with a little rotor flick. “Just for fun!” And the heli was aaalll about fun.

Vortex probably does have different things in mind than Brawl does, in that Vortex is capable of having complex things on his mind. Most of Brawl's mind is currently occupied in following the conversation, with a steady background hum of his feet itching and wondering when chow time is.
"So are we doin' this or what?" he asks impatiently.

OOC: Apologies for holding this up. If there is no objections, the date of this thread is changing to Month 4, Week 3, Day 2
Scourge remarks quietly and oddly seriously, "Yes, we're doing this."
//Vortex, talk loudly with Brawl about something. Anything,// he orders to the helicopter. //Do not follow me.//
Scourge sneaks away from the Combaticon pair, pulling up a map of the ship to figure out the most effective and stealthy route to flank Assault and ambush him from behind. He is quiet. He uses cover. He pays attention to how the shadows fall. Best of all, he has Vortex and Brawl there to act as a distraction.

Talk loudly? About anything?
“That Scourge guy sure did have a nice aft,” Vortex says quite loudly. See? Isn’t he totally being the bestest and most obedient soldier ever? “If I were him, I’d get up and spend a good minute jus’ admirin’ it cus hot damn, is that some high quality piece a’ hardware.”
//Think blue boy’s gonna figure it out?// It would be simultaneously disappointing and hilarious if Assault didn’t. //I mean, it’s not like this isn’t the most obvious plan ever.// Also rather notably, Scourge hadn’t answered him on the subject of Shockwave’s silence on the issue. Now what was going on there? If Vortex actually knew the truth behind that though, he'd be laughing and laughing and laughing and and probably propose to Hook or something.

Talk loudly? Finally, something Brawl is good at!
"Um, I guess it's nice," Brawl says in his usual loud tones, looking over his shoulder at said posterior. "What part of the truck is it, though? I know his chest ain't the front of the truck, even though it looks like it is. That's weird, ya ask me. It ain't natural."
//He's gonna be awful sore at us, I think.//

Some rather hushed whispering. He can not make out what is said. His optics squint as he leans a bit closer to the shut door, and then, he can hear Vortex and Brawl loudly.
Oh, this is far too obvious.
And he lets the two Combaticons know that. //My, my, my. I did not expect Scourge to go for such a blatantly obvious distraction! That is rather disappointing. There is so much more that could be done with this! But perhaps now I will get some genuine, proper entertainment.//
It's only a matter of time before the tanker truck finds him. But perhaps he can draw it out a bit! He won't be able to do that by remaining in this death trap however, so he waits a bit before slipping out and sneaking down the corridor. Maybe he will even get to meet Scourge head on, instead of him ambushing from behind.

Scourge does indeed have a fine behind. Vortex is perspicacious to notice this fact.
However, Scourge is already long gone. He's been on this Ship since before it was built, he has an officer's complete map of it, and he's faster and quieter than he looks. Of all the Decepticons in his reality, he was the one that got sent on stealth missions, when they had them!
So Assault, who thinks he has all this time to plan, is out of time in a very real way. Scourge is already behind him, and there's a blade headed for the small of Assault's back, headed up towards Assault's shoulder, to slice Assault not-quite-in-half. Scourge is very good with that blade, very strong, and has surprise as his ally.

Vortex’s powers of observation were just that awesome. It’s like an aft-radar, except instead there being a radar on someone’s aft, it’s a radar that detects awesome afts.
“Brawl, I changed from an old fighter jet into a generic helicopter.” Animation errors were terribly, terribly silly. “I ain’t gonna question these sorta things,” Vortex huffs, fists on his hips. What sort of helicopter does he even turn into? Seriously.
//What? Lamentin’ our poor stealth wasn’t ‘nuff entertainment?// the heli snickers. //Try not t’ get too killed, Blues. I know it's temptin', but not everyone can should take me as a role model when it come t' gettin' beat up,// he adds, idly examining his fingers for scratches.

Vortex turns into a Kaman Aerospace SH-2G Super Seasprite. It says so on the internet, so it must be true!
"Yeah, that was weird. Stupid Starscream, makin' us do stuff and not feedin' us and stuff." That whole sequence was rather bizarre. "You think Scourge is gonna kill him?" he asks seriously, lowering his voice as far as it'll go.
