The Nemesis was quiet. Too quiet. Every con had fulfilled their duties, twice. Needless to say, they were all bored out of their minds. Megatron and Soundwave were discussing their plan on another attack against the Autobots. Everyone else simply had to wait for something to be decided and happen.

Knockout was absentmindedly buffering himself, again. He had organized the medical bay and reorganized it ten times already. He had buffed his finish and made sure he didn't have any scratches at least that many times. He heard the door open and didn't bother looking at whoever came in.

"Can't you see I'm busy." He muttered in a bored tone.

"Yes I'm sure you are." Starscream said as he wandered around aimlessly.

"Go be bored somewhere else." The red con said as he put things away. Again.

"I am simply doing my job and making sure everyone is doing theres." The seeker said as he picked up a tool and examined it. Knockout took it and set it back down. He stopped suddenly and thought for a few minutes. He smirked as he got an idea.

"Why don't we go make sure Shockwave is doing his job?" He said as he smiled slightly. "It would be a lot more interesting to see... what he's doing." He smirked and folded his arms. Starscream was about to protest then thought about it.

"I don't see the harm in that." He said as smirked and he walked out of the room. Knockout followed and they were soon at the lab. They walked in but didn't see the scientist. They could see different things the con was working on and concocting.

"Well no one's home." Knockout said and walked into the room as he looked around.

"W-What?!" Starscream hissed angrily. "W-We can't go in there." He said yet followed anyway.

"Oh please. I'm only looking and we won't touch anything." The con responded as he looked around the lab. "Besides I'm a scientist and know what to touch and what not to." He said then hesitated as he stared at a few things.

"Hmm... I wonder what he's working on." Starscream muttered as he looked around at the experiments. He tapped a glass container and frowned.

"I think I can help with his work." Knockout said as he read a few things on the computer.

"I thought you said not to touch anything." The seeker scoffed and walked over to him.

"True. But it would be interesting to see what he would say. He'd have a little more... respect for use if we succeed." He said as he typed.

"Hmm... I suppose that's true. Then maybe he'll become loyal to me." Starscream sneered as he thought about it. Knockout rolled his optics and typed.

"Thats one way to be motivated." He muttered and read a few things. "Besides what harm could it do." He said cockily.

Knockout read it over a few times and went to the vials of diffrent liquids. He thought for a few minutes then read the formula again before getting an empty container and starting. He was careful as he added things and mixed others together. Starscream just watched for a few minutes then wandered around as he got bored.

He grabbed a few things and walked back over. Knockout turned to grab something and the seeker added a few of the contents of his container. He was carefully pouring something else in when Knockout turned around.

"What are you doing?!" He yelled and the other con jumped in surprise. The whole thing fell in.

"I'm trying to help." He snapped angrily and folded his arms.

"Do you even know what you put in there?" He asked as he glared. The seeker thought for a few minutes.

"No. But I figured it wouldn't hurt anything." He scoffed. Knockout glared and picked up the container with their concoction.

"We have to properly dispose of this and start over thanks to you." Knockout grumbled as he walked off.

"No. You can just add more and make it successful." He said and took it back.

"This isn't a game. Now hand it over." The con responded as he clenched his servos tightly. "You're so clumsy you'll drop it." He sneered.

"I am not!" He yelled clearly offended and grabbed hold of it. Knockout glared and held on to it. They pulled to get it from each other and argued.

They were too busy with their bickering to notice the door open a few feet away from them.

"What in the pits of Kaon are you two doing?!" Megatron shouted making both cons jump. The container flew into the air and broke as it hit the warlords helm.

Megatron growled and sputtered as he backed into the wall. The two cons stared optics wide. They looked at each other knowing they were both dead. Megatron wiped the contents off his faceplate and glared at the two.

"Starscream! You have some explaining to do." He seethed angrily as he clenched his servos tightly. "I'm going to-" He stopped suddenly and stared at the opposite wall. His optics rolled back into his helm and he collapsed to the floor. The two cons stared at him blankly then looked at each other.

"Scrap. We're so dead." Knockout said as he looked around nervously.

"Not if he can't catch us." Starscream muttered and they headed to the door. It opened and they yelped in surprise as Shockwave and Soundwave stood there. They glanced at the warlord then at the two. Soundwave clenched his servos then pointed at the leader.

"Uh... we uh..." Knockout stammered then stared at the silent con. Soundwave pointed again and then at him. He sighed forcefully and the seeker huffed.

After getting the liquid off and moving him to a berth, the two cons explained what happened. Shockwave half listened as he typed and Soundwave stood with him. The two cons were not pleased with what happened and looked at the others. Shockwave informed them that they had to clean up their mess.

"What?!" Starscream yelled. "It was Knockouts fault!" He shouted.

"My fault!" He glared at him. "You wouldn't let me work!" He yelled. The two bickered for a moment and Soundwave ignored them as he typed.

"Stawcweam!" They all stopped suddenly and looked at the berth. A small sparkling glared back at them. He looked furious but it made him... dare they say it... cute.

"What in the pits of Kaon..." Starscream muttered as his optics widened.

"I am word Megatwon! You awe in big twouble fow this! I'll wip out youw spawk!!" The sparkling yelled angrily as he stood on the berth and stomped his ped.

"Well... scrap." Knockout muttered and folded his arms.
