Scourge Prepares the Treacherous Wee Beastie

[Scourge (BW)]

Scourge hums quietly to himself as he works at his lab bench. There was a simple reason for Scourge getting a private work area: nobody would want to partner with him. Scourge is immune to anything he might spill. Others? Not so much.

Right now time, the door is unlocked. His current project only is harmful after the signal is sent, and he's preparing the antidote anyway. If anyone wants to bother the scientist, he'd probably be accepting of conversation. He's in a good mood. He gets to use his pets!

OOC: Preparing the bacterium as decided in Shockwave's lab. If nobody wants to bug the bug-Scourge, that's fine. Working on the assumption Scourge got his own lab-who would partner with him? Hope that's alright.

OOC2: Argh! I missed a letter in the topic title. Fixed.

[Starscream]

An anxious Starscream enters. He's finished dealing with Scourge some time ago, but his first encounter with this new Prime finds him antsy. Of course, he would never admit this to himself, and would pass it off as excitement that he will be the first Decepticon leader to oversee the decimation of the Autobots.

"Scourge. How does the work progress?"

[Scourge (BW)]

Scourge is hard at work when his commander shows up, so he only gives him the briefest of glances.

"Quite well, sir. I've completed primary sythesis and am breeding a starter population now."

[Starscream]

"I see." Starscream intones as he leans over to observe as unobtrusively as he can manage. "So, tell me how you're planning on making this undetectable. Their scientists, if they are anything like the Autobots from here, are very skilled."

[Scourge (BW)]

A reasonable concern. "Well, sir, for the most part this species will dwell fairly deep within the subject-it would require a thorough search of the entire body to find. It's quite small and has no effect during stage one, leaving no reason for such an examination. If it is discovered, however, it is tailored to very strongly resemble my own immunity systems. Even if they do find it, it would take an expert like myself to determine that it is not benevolent."

It really is a swell design, Scourge thinks. When he gets back home, he will have to again suggest that his Megatron use it.

[Starscream]

"I suspect that the fact that a foreign body is there after we've said we've so 'helpfully' offered to repair him is going to be enough to tip them off, Scourge." Starscream said. "But if will not be an issue provided it is suitably concealed."

Starscream frowned as he looked at Scourge's handiwork. Disgusting little organics. Where Starscream came from, organics were either to be stepped on or enslaved to create energon. Who knew they could be so useful?

"And.. this is something you utilize with regularity, where you come from?"

[Scourge (BW)]

"I assure you, commander, Predacon technology is quite advanced. They will have no easy time finding this."

Oh, yes, organics could be quite useful. They couldn't also be a slagging pain, though. Fortunately, organics are usually quite susceptible to diseases.

"I... do not often have an opportunity for... large scale deployments. However, I do have performed plenty of tests. Nothing will go wrong." And, Scourge silently adds, if it does, it should prove quite interesting. He is a mad scientist, after all.

[Starscream]

Starscream nods. "Good to hear. Finish quickly, Shockwave will be expecting these goods soon." And with that, the pre-occupied Starscream departs.
