Rodimus leans back slightly in his seat, considering his options. "Hmm. No, the points are well made. We're best off using Swerve himself." He shrugs, the motion almost thoughtless. "If the possibility of them defeating the trap is too much of a concern, we could always include a secondary trap on Swerve himself." A pity to loose such a pleasurable toy, but there will be others.
He considers Mirage's question, thoughtful frown now in place. "No, I did not see him during the battle. That doesn't concern me so much as the fact that we don't know where he's been since, however." He falls silent for a moment, then murmurs, "We'll have to heighten security."

"Hgn" It's a tad worrisome, that. Mirage considers things for a moment, weighing what he'd observed of his other self against his own abilities. He gives a dismissive shrug.
"Wouldn't hurt to get people in the habit of radio ID, but really, he can't pass himself off as me. He's an effete snob, no real experience behind him. Talks fancier than the Emirate used to, back before you arrived. Their Mirage may have a similar skill set, but I doubt he's as good as me." Mirage rubs his chin and smirks. No one's as good as he is. "He'd have to watch us for awhile to convincingly impersonate anyone else."
"I'd be more worried about sniper shots, if I were you."
Mirage tilts his head as he studies Rodimus, a bit of dark humor flickering in his optics, "So, do you think Scourge will take you up on last night's offer?"

"Increased security details should include more patrols on the edges," Rodimus grunts softly as he stands up, looking absently in the distance. "Even your illusions don't last forward." His optics flare, and now his expression twists into a frown. He begins to stride towards where the party had been held. "The energon needs to be brought under lock and key," he says, expecting Mirage to follow.
"Scourge? Shockwave says he will." Rodimus transforms, falling into vehicle mode, and waits for Mirage to do the same. "He's taking his sweet time, though." A pause. "I'll need Synapse in the air." His engine starts, and whether Mirage follows or not, he starts to move off.

Of course Mirage follows. He was not ordered away, after all, and if he stays with Rodimus, it lessens the possibility of the other Mirage attempting a bluff.
He can't help digging a bit though. "Provisions weren't made for the energon to be watched throughout the night? What an....oversight."
"Which reminds me. Perceptor seemed quite taken with Shockwave. Why I don't know, and really don't want to know, but they were rather cozy for awhile last night."

"You shouldn't point out the mistake unless you want me to hold you responsible," Rodimus answers dangerously as he starts heading towards the area where the party had been held. "I'm still figuring out who to punish."
"And, yes, I did spot those two together.1 Don't worry, I'll ensure Perceptor's loyalties remain with us. But if you do note him straying I... would not be adverse to the heads up." It's not just that Rodimus enjoys watching his pets bark and bite and claw at each other - he expects the two to attempt to throw their leashes, and relies on the idea that one is unlikely to let the other get away with something they themselves cannot do.
It's not long before Rodimus reaches the remains of the bonfire. He transforms quickly and strides first to the table, frowning. There's less than there had been when he left, but the party was still going then; that's not a strange thing.
1 Needlenose visited Shockwave before he visited Rodimus-3. Therefore, Rodimus was still at the party when Perceptor-3 and Shockwave were 'rather cozy.'
