Scorponok moves through the corridors greeting the other 'Cons as he passes by them, one even tells him where the others are fragging the Autobot femme. Scorponok nods and acts like he appreciates the information but on the inside he's disgusted. Frag an Autobot? Pit no, if he'll be fragging any femme it'll be a Decepticon one. Also, he's above the whole raping thing, he would never stoop down that low to rape a femme. Most defiantly not an Autobot femme. He shivers in disgust at just the thought of it.

As he goes up the corridor where the room is that he's told is where the others are 'having fun' with the Autobot femme he hears a commotion in the room. At first, he plays it off as them just getting rough with her until he hears a couple of the mechs cry out in pain. Thunderhoof and a few others walk past him and go to the door, when they open it he peers in and sees the femme sitting on the floor with no armor on. Two mechs lay on the floor screaming in pain with Energon pouring out of their wound, two more mechs laid on the floor dead and a Chompazoid is in a frenzy trying to get the laser cutter out of the bottom of his mouth.

He stands there astonished and a bit impressed that this one femme was able to get the strength to do all this after she was fragged repeatedly by different mechs. He watches as they escort her out of the room and take her back to where ever they're holding the Autobots. His astonishment wears off after a moment and he just shrugs it off and continues walking. He decides to follow the mechs that are escorting the femme back to the holding room to see exactly where the Autobots are being kept.

When they reach the room where the Autobots are being locked up in he's surprised that it's just a room and they're not in stasis pods. They should be put into stasis pods so they can see what it feels like to be frozen into stasis. That's one thing he plans on doing when he takes the leadership role back from Steeljaw. Speaking of leadership. What did Steeljaw do with Glowstrike and Saborhorn? He hasn't seen them anywhere. He sees the mechs walking away after closing and locking the door and he goes after them.

"Wait, I have a question."

The mechs stop walking and turn to face him, "What is it?"

"What happened to Glowstrike and Saborhorn?"

"Lord Steeljaw locked them up in stasis pods."

Really? He's gonna put them in stasis pods but not the Autobots?

"Why didn't he put the Autobots into stasis pods?"

"He said he wants to torture them to get some information from them. Then he wants to sell them off in parts."

Scorponok says nothing, he just hums and walks off. He's gonna have to find Glowstrike and Saborhorn and release them from stasis so they can help him take down Steeljaw and take back control over the Alcamore and the Decepticons. But first, he's gonna have to figure out Steeljaw's weakness, the best way to take down any 'Bot or 'Con is to go for their weakness. They all have one.

Strongarm sits on the berth as she looks out the window, she watches the birds flying by so carefree without any worries and she wishes she could be like that. Just to be free of her new prison and be out there driving through the forest on patrol like she used to, or discover new places and sights of this planet they're on. But instead, she's being held prisoner on this ship, in these quarters, with no freedom in sight.

It's actually really ironic, her job is to imprison criminals, and here she is being imprisoned herself by the criminals she's supposed to imprison. She can't help but scoff at the thought. What would her teachers and mentors think of her right now? She knows they won't disgrace her or turn their backs on her, they're too nice to do that. But still, she can't help but think they might be a bit disappointed in her... No, they won't be disappointed. They will just tell her to stay strong and don't allow Steeljaw to break her down.

"The only reason you're not going through the same thing is 'cause Steeljaw ordered us not to touch youse, he wants you for himself."

That line Thunderhoof spoke to her earlier kept running through her processor. What did he mean? Surely Steeljaw isn't...

"You captured my attention Cadet. The way you beat me down and outsmarted me the last time we met was impressive."

What Steeljaw said to her when he had her strapped down to the berth in that room. Did she really impress him? That was not her intent, it's never her intent to impress a criminal such as himself.

"You intrigued me and caught my interest and when something catches my interest like that..." 

She can still feel the heat resonating off his frame as he moved closer to her face.

"I take it." 

That growl that rumbled from his chest as he said it gave her an unsettling feeling. Even now a shiver runs through her body as she thinks about it, there was something about it that was different from his other growls she's heard from him. She can't figure out what it was exactly, all she knows is that it made her feel uneasy.

She's pulled from her thoughts when the doors open and she sees Steeljaw walking into the room. He instantly looks over to the side of the room where he last saw her, expecting her to still be there. He growls before looking over and seeing her sitting on his berth and the growl vanishes. She looks at him with wide optics as he looks at her almost hungrily.

His yellow optics burrow into her as he moves closer to the berth and she starts to get that uneasy feeling again. Now she's thinking that maybe sitting on his berth when he comes back wasn't such a good idea.
