Off the western shore of the Korean Peninsula"There's very little scanning I am able to perform while being grounded and waiting for you to unload my cargo." Was Astrotrain's reply to Baneblade's latest orders through his internal speakers. What he did not voice however was his displeasure of being delegated to contact Soundwave. Astrotrain was not interested in asking any favors from the communications officer. Particularly after the way their last encounter had went by.
"Nor it is necessary. And neither is giving Soundwave more work to do. I figure him being pretty busy as it is covering for everything our distraction teams are doing right now." The military transport spoke as he landed softly to the beach where the Constructicons were gathered. "Thundercracker and the Cyberjets have been monitoring this area for hours now. Should be easy enough to get the information we want from them."
As he opened his cargo bay to allow his passengers to exit, Astrotrain sent out a transmission to Thundercracker, the leader of the security team assigned to protect the Constructicons. >>"
Thundercracker, this is Astrotrain. Requesting information on possible sightings of human cargo ships or military ships within your unit's radar sensor."<<

"Hnn. Forget about them
Scavenger." Bonecrusher, who had quickly slipped away from Scrapper and Hook when he had noticed the approaching Decepticons - replied to Scavenger's wailing about more military oriented Decepticons entering the area. "Let's just find what the frag we were supposed to find before Scrapper tells us to help unloading those steel bars from Astrotrain."
"I wouldn't mind seeing our busy leaders to do some manual labor of their own." He added as he marched in to the endless looking water mass that opened up before his optical sensors.
