// Ahem, Shockwave. This is Sky-byte reporting in. I have just returned from investigating the power stations out at sea, // As well as making a little time to just enjoy himself in this self-made vacation. Sky-byte sounds pleased enough with this whole procedure. // Would you like me to give a report to you right now? //

//At your leisure.//
//Also, maintain radio silence on both general Decepticon frequencies until further notice. I will inform you when replacement channels have been selected. We have been compromised.//

//Well, I most definitely found your power stations,// That and brushed off a couple local, aquatic arthropods on the way. //No signs of physical connection between them in any way. In my opinion, they probably beam in all data and energy. The lot of them are pretty well kept. I suspect that I ran into some of their maintainers. They're nothing to worry about. // Sky-byte's voice sounds almost uncaring. They were ungainly in the water and crunched in a most satisfying way. But now they are stuck to his teeth. He's a shark! King of the waters!
Not a jellyfish.
// --Wait, compromised? What's going on back there? // Sky-byte's attention seems to have strayed...

//I would assume the Autobots have somehow learned one or both frequencies. However, our esteemed commander has not deigned to tell me all the whys and wherefores.//
//Did you find anything else?//

The look on Sky-byte's face all but says, "the 'esteemed commander' could go and chew on my caudal fin." Lucky enough, Shockwave can't actually witness this expression.
//Well, all of them seem to be in working order,// Working enough to send those drones after him in the first place. //There are some submersible vessels parked around some of these stations. I assume that using them was one way that natives here got to the stations. Terribly clunky things. But then again, Earth's submarines weren't any better and--// Sky-byte pauses and re-orients himself in his ramble.
//What interests me are the series of chasms that extend along the line of power stations as they head further past the continental shelf.// And this isn't only because expressing such interest might get him some more time under water.

//Hmmm, interesting. You may certainly see about examining the chasms at a later date. For now, return to base.//

Blasted radio silence.
//Shockwave! I am en route to the base as we speak. I do hope that there's an energon ration at the end of this! On my way back, I was waylaid a mech with the form of a giant squid. He calls himself a Maximal, a term I'm unfamiliar with.// A term that he spits out with great disdain.

Shockwave would be happy to give the very useful and accommodating shark an energon goodie, if anyone had ever bothered to show him where the stores were kept.
//Maximal? I am unfamiliar with the term. Do you require an escort back to base, or will your remaining fuel supplies be sufficient?//

This useful and accommodating shark will be nibbling on other things if all he gets is an energon goodie. Energon goodies are a good start though.
//I can make it to base on my own power, thank you,// Once again he's surprised and pleased by Shockwave's cordiality.

//I can not guarantee I will be available when you arrive. Spinister can take care of your refueling needs.//

//Sky-Byte, slight change of plans. It appears Starscream wishes to speak to you personally.//
A brief pause and then...//Do you have any inkling as to why?//

//Speak with me personally?// Sky-byte honestly sounds flabbergasted.
//Hmph, perhaps he has finally come to realize what a valuable asset I am.// Sky-byte's voice has taken on a smug tone.
//Do you have any idea?//

//No, Sky-byte, I do not//
Shockwave debates on warning the silly shark that Starscream's personal attention is not something to be desired. Ah well, some lessons are best learned the hard way.
//Wait for him at this location.// Shockwave transmits the coordinates of the now-infamous fountain. //If there is a change, you will be notified.//

Sky-byte's good at learning lessons the hard way. Though they don't always stick.
//It shouldn't be long before I arrive. I shall see you later! Sky-byte out!//
