A MECH trooper walks up to Dyson and holds up a phone
MECH trooper: Sir, the investor is on the line. And I... I can't get him to call back later.

"Test the scanners Joe, I have to deal with this." Robert said before facing the trooper. "Which investor?"

Behind Dyson, Joe Person beckoned in a few more scientists.
"We've analysed the broken parts of disassembled Cybertronians. We've never been in a position to do so with one that was fully functioning," he commented to several other scientists, "If that... thing... doesn't know how its own 'subspace' works... we'll find out."
What looks to Kick-Start like a scanner, built out of the remains of various Cybertronians is wheeled in. There are a lot of cables on it, "What are you going to-"
"If you want to have any sudden revelations about how you work... now's a good time," Joe Person tells her.
"Ugh! I told you, having access to Subspace doesn't mean I know how it works!" Kick-Start tries to pull away as several of the cables are attached to her protoform under the gears and pistols of engine parts, "Get your servos off me or I'll-"
"Commence scanning biomechanic known as a 'protoform' now."
An electrical jolt passed through Kick-Start's protoform. She let out a prolonged scream as the softer metal was frazzled by the immense voltage. On the scanning screen, information about the more detailed biomechanics of her body was already downloading. After a few nanoclicks the shock stopped, leaving her shaking.
Then it shocked her protoform again.

The MECH trooper holds the phone away so it cannot pick up the conversation
MECH TROOPER: The CEO of Destron industries.
The trooper holds out the phone
MECH TROOPER: And he seems impatient...

"Shouldn't he be bothering KSI, not us?...Fine, give me phone."

The Trooper gives him the phone and a voice is hear
' According to our friends in KSI your the person I need to talk to about experimental weapons... An old friend left me some old Cobra vehicle parts and plans... Nothing fancy like that weather weapon they had... Old HISS tanks mostly... Now I heard you had made a breakthrough in robot alien killing weapons and I thought, wouldn't it be profitable to have a remote control army that can take down these... Invaders... Without loss of life. '
He adds
' Ever since DC, the market is right for a better defensive solution... '

In the background, Kick-Start has stopped screaming, even though the shocks continue to spike through her body, analyzing its parts. Instead, she is shaking with sobs, except without actual tears. She's having to fight the urge to plead for mercy, because it's sinking in that it will make no difference at all.
On the screen, more data is coming up, mostly the processing systems for Energon, but also certain systems that the humans hadn't guessed would be there - such as the astonishingly complicated 'reproductive' system some Cybertronians possessed.

You'll have to go through the proper military channels and get necessary clearance."

"Sir?" Joe Person approaches Dyson from behind and taps him respectfully on the shoulder, "You should definitely have a look at these scans..."
He holds up the screen with some of Kick-Start's inner detailing displayed on it.
"For a start, there's something below the mechanics. It's almost... foetus-like in its build. Like all the other parts use it for a blueprint, perhaps. And, um... I'm not sure what this is," he puts up another picture, "But it almost looks like it might be used as an area for building something..."

The voice sighs
' You sound like... Nevermind... How much of a donation will get me necessary clearence? '

"You don't seem to understand, it's not about money. You need to go through the main unit of the army, not me. Now unless you have anything further, I have to get back to work."

"Try to get in touch with the Pentagon." ((I have to mention Splash has stolen the info of the pentagon, ereased it, and bombed the installation. I don't care if nobody was able to stop him when everybody was fighting))

Dyson hangs up the phone and returns to Kick-Start, looking at the scans, and then back at her. "What is this some sort of assembly chamber?"

"In a manner of speaking, sir," Joe Person looked uncomfortable, "A machine for building more machines. Probably not for assembly of the full machine, but possibly the most fundamental, basic parts."
They detach the scanning machine from Kick-Start, who is whimpering slightly.
"The simple underlying protoform might be constructed in there. I hate to use biological words when referring to this thing, but the closest comparison might be to a human womb."

"...These machines can reproduce?"

"Possibly..." Joe Person replied, "I wouldn't expect it happens often though - it looks like the construction chamber needs specific conditions and a strong power source to initiate any production."

"Yes sir..."
Kick-Start looks up, pain in her face after the several hours of electrocution, "You're disgusting," she hisses at Dyson, "I've seen Shockwave treat his pets with more respect..."
