The AI was something actually not to be tampered with either. It was the equivalent of Scaag at the very least--and it's tapering would still work. It was much smarter than it let on--and even though Scaag was a life form, no doubt full of complexities, the A.I. had details contained within it's own matrixes, and it's own stimuli and action potentials had their own twists, and with different twists, came different functioning and thought-patterns all together. It was a bad day to mess around in the A-19 Strike Team Base as well. Taggon had worked as hard as he could to make sure the place would please Astrinal, with it's technology and designs. Thanks to some entities known as Plexo unreeling old Senate plans on how to design some things (reluctantly), Knaught, and the help of other A19 Striek team members, the place wasn't just your normal old easy-breech place. The A.I. had got it's hands on the transmission enough to make it not so traceable. The A.I. was an A.I. responsible for helping the darker side of the Autobots, and every little plan and secret was as much of its business as it had been a high rankers. Frequency fishing was tricky, but doable.
If someone was to trace the signal, nonetheless, they still wouldn't be able to enter via ground bridge. The room was rigged so that it was quite impossible, even people who had the authorization to control the A.I. couldn't bridge. because it was simply impossible with the way the structure was designed, and how its A.I. had signal and frequency savviness.
"Negative, Skyspray. You have point zero percent authority here. You are an ex-A19 Strike team member, now tagged as a guest. You suggest things, and I think about it. Fortunately for you, I have been ordered by my true superiors to be more cooperative. I will set you down, but I will not comply to your demands, unless they involve authorized deeds." The A.I. would release them all from the tractor-like beam, permitting them to hit the floor. All it could do here was with draw a beam.
"However, on the condition you refrain from doing anything obnoxious, your time here will be extended. But I advise you move. I want my attentions shifted elsewhere right now--And Negative again. You cannot shut me down. Your EG status is of little use here. I do hope you learn that soon. Ah. Look. Your sworn enemy stirs. How about you let your traitor bleed, and go check on him?" The A.I. was speaking monotonously, though it was clear it was having fun with how things were for it. It was still a bit baffled Skyspray hadn't asked it 'please', but not enough to say it.

The Pet watched as her master fell to the ground. She growled at the AI, but did nothing. She walked over to her detached tentacle, picking it up in her jaw, dropping it near Shrike, then began to tear off the mech's right leg. It came off easily, and The Pet began to play with it, as a dog would a bone. Getting the mech's T-cog was out of the question. Without her tentacle, it was unlikely that she could reach it without killing Shrike. And then, with the movement of Tesarus, The Pet lifted her head to watch, realizing on of her former masters was here. She'd say hello once she finished her treat, so she payed him no mind yet.

Disobeying orders, check. Being annoying, check. Getting dismanteled ASAP? Absolutely.
Sky thought for himself as he hung there before getting dropped down by the AI. He refrained from telling him that since he was EG, he was his true superior. Nothing good would come from arguing with that pile of scrap. No idea why it even existed. If it was to be an aft, it had succeeded in its duties. He listen to what else the AI said and nodded. Shooting someone in the face wasn't that obnoxious.
Then shift it elsewhere. I'm not tellng you to focus on us. And how about you start being nicer and keeping your artificial intake shut?
Sky replied as he was now hitting the floor, with his pedes first. There was a heavy thud as he did so and Shrike's body would follow shortly after, still encased in an energon barrier that basically hooked the floor. He wasn't getting moved before Sky wanted him to. When he rose up again to his full height, he looked over to the mech in front of him and smiled a little, but it wasn't a friendly smile.
Pet, good sparkeater. Have fun with your treat. But helo, Uncle Tesarus. What a coincidence to find you here. Or actually, no. Not a coincidence at all. But first, have you missed me? Do you even remember me? I know Uncle Vos did but sadly, he doesn't remember anything at all now.
Sky said as he took out Vos' face from his subspace and showed it. This was the moment he had been waiting for. His other servo held his shotgun and if he wanted, he could end it all right now.

REACTIVATING SYSTEMS... CRITICAL DAMAGE... ALERT, NEARBY TARGETS... How the frag am I alive...? Shrike's optics open as a surge of energon reenters his frame. Stablized by Skyspray's energon field and the energon being pushed into his body, the mech had been revived. Only awake as long as the Autobot kept him, Shrike worked quicly. Sky! I'm- argh... I'm awake! He tries to call out loudly, but a pain shoots through him as he speaks. All the damage is still there, and now he's missing his legs! What had happened?! No time to ask. Are you there Sky? Maybe if the Elite Guard wasn't there he could flee...

Yeah, Shrike could kick that fleeing scrap right down the road. The Pet, seeing her master's foe had began to move, she snarled and slammed her front paws towards Shrike's arms, with a high chance at succeeding since Shrike had lost their legs. Despite being a former turbofox, The Pet was strong, very strong. If she succeded in pinning him, she would snarl in an attempt to show that he was going nowhere.

"Uncle Tesarus" resounded in his helm. That voice he knew it though placing it on a mech was difficult. As he pondered this new development his vision fully cleared letting Tesarus see Skyspray before him chatting away. "ohboy" Tesarus thought as he came to realize who stood before him. That little runt of Kaons. Tesarus knew that the mech had switched sides but to see him here was quite a wonder to the giant. He was still staring at Skyspray when he pulled out his victory, Vos's helm.
" Well well, you have taken revenge on the one mech who didnt hate you. Good job boy." Tesarus spoke as Skyspray finished his show of power. He fully turned his helm to look Skyspray in the optics, " How does it feel? Good right? You enjoy this moment as I have many times. Standing above your foe with the power of death, and then relish the feeling of taking life. " Tesarus paused as he gazed deeper into Skyspray's optics,
" You have taken a different life, sparkling. Kaon would be disappointed in you, as am I. You think you have escaped us but you have only embodied us to the highest degree. taking revenge on those who hurt you as a small sparkling. Priceless. Do you know why I enjoyed causing you pain? You never stopped calling me Uncle. "
Tesarus turned his helm back and faced the ceiling. Awaiting the young mechs out burst or calm response normal action of a wounded soul.

Oh, how fortunate. And yes, I'm here. But you won't be. Pet, take him to the medbay to get him fixed. He has vital information that we need.
He said as he glanced down at the Pet when she brutally assaulted Shrike. He wasn't going to help him though as he had other matters to deal with. Like Tesarus waking up again. He turned his attention back towards the giant who he also called his uncle. And he smiled back at him, even though he really was just fighting against the urge to shoot him in the face.
I think, you know, just a theory but I think that you don't know the whole story. Even if he didn't fully hate me, I hated him, with all of my spark. For all his crimes, he's now dead. But Grandma didn't like that. And yes, it does feel good or rather, like if a heavy weight has been taken off from me. But you know, you kill because of a different reason than I do. You kill, because you're not intelligent enough to do otherwise. You got defeated by a vehicon and brought here, that doesn't say only a little bit. I kill because I was raised to, because I grew up around you. Which makes me have traits from all of you, I know how you fight, what triggers you. I was always there, observing, learning from all of you.
Sky said as he walked a couple of steps closer. His cannons were twitching and had him locked in their sights.
But that's where you're wrong, Tessy. Haven't you heard? Kaon defected too, and he did it after actually rebulding me. Although I don't know if I can trust him. But you know, Vos is dead, Kaon is a bot, Tarn and Helex are M.I.A. That leaves you. Alone. Nickel can't save you, nobody can. You know, I just really want you to die. Hurting a sparkling who once loved you, that's cowardly. Just because you never could find anyone who genuinely cared about you, it doesn't mean you had to push everyone away. Look where it has taken you. I'll give you one chance, resign from your work and admit to your crimes. Or otherwise... You're going to meet Uncle Vos again. Your choice, Uncle Tesarus.

Shrike called out in pain as the Pet pinned down his torso, not like there was much else to pin anyways. A sharp pain shot through his body as the gaping wounds were pressed upon. The pet was right, leaving was out of the question. But there was no time to waste as Sky's voice spoke. But just as the story told by Smolder of Thunderblast's demise reformed in the jet's processor, another alert appeared.
OPTICS REACTIVATING
Blinking harshly, Shrike could barely see at the moment, though all he would anyways would be the sparkeater pressing down on his frame. So the mech returned to the story. First things- argh- first, that insecticon... was, err... that was Thunderblast's brother, Ichor. He smelled the family scent on you, and went feral. That is why he attacked ya'. You see, we're "Avacon Constructed", "AvaCon" for short. We do a lot, mostly killin'. We were in the process here actually. And we have three branches, Recon, Rampage and Colony. Rampage is what's important, Taggon was once a Rampage soldier. Basically they commit planetary genocide... well one time, Smolder, Ichor, and Avernus were out as a squad. Ichor was there only because Avernus requested his efforts. Smolder was used to the killing, and they tracked down your mother. Smolder... he burned her alive... he incinerated her as her own brother watched. I can't say how this was for him, but he did nothing. Shrike stopped his story. That's all Sky needed to know for now. Now what Shrike needed was Pet to listen to Skyspray's orders and to get him out of the prison and into a medbay.

The Pet tilted her head. She had no idea how to get there, or where it was. She couldn't operate a groundbridge, or hit door controls. Nevertheless, she walked to Shrike, snarling once.
Climb.
Shrike would probably prefer hanging on to the Pet than being clamped in her jaws or dragged.

Tesarus couldnt help but smile as he listened to Skyspray's answer.
" We kill for different reasons yes, but not different motives. You kill to get your much needed revenge, I kill to appease my need for death. Both of us need to kill, boy, do not think you are better then us. Dont make that mistake. As for the Vehicon, well, if he beat me then he deserves to kill me not you. "
Tesarus glanced slightly at the pet as it did Skyspray's bidding. And then back at his "friend".
" I knew you were always there, but you say you were learning? Haha you do have small surprises for me, I thought you were just a brain dead sparkling, but that opinion has yet to change."
He made an image in his helm of the small Skyspray huddled in a corner scared to do or say anything for fear of being beaten. It was a great image.
" We both know Nickle was not much of a fighter, and my coworkers mishaps are their own and I dont need them to get done what needs to be. Hurting you was great joy for me Sky, you know that. Caring for someone is what I excel at, I care so much for mechs that I choose them to met me at my best part, my chest. I chose them to be the mechs to end my eternal hunger. It is a highly prized honor."
He paused for a second to watch Skyspray make his final threat.
" Stop killing and admit what I have done. Fine I Tesarus have killed many mechs and femmes. I am a member of the DJD, I work to kill all traitors and bring them to "justice". I admit that I have ended many bots and I loved it. Though to stop killing, that is something that cant do. And it is quite hypocritical for you to demand I end my killings. When you yourself cant stop either. You will never stop killing no matter what you say or try to do. We are in the same craft that will never change."

Wait, you what and did what? And Taggon did that? And you know who killed my mother, and I have an uncle?
His helm was spinning a bit with all this new information. It was a bit much to take in. An uncle.. Was that why he had felt a connection to Ichor before? Sky decided to go and check for himself when he was done here. He looked back to Tesarus and shook his helm a little.
By that logic, I should have been allowed to kill numerous more than what I've done. But no, that logic doesn't exist here.
He remained quiet during the rest of the procedure, didn't flinch nor move when Tesarus kept mocking him. Showing no emotions, he was good at that now. Not like when he was a sparkling and the emotions always came first. He had changed, but if it was for the better or for the worse, that could be debated. Some would say the former, some the latter. Sky himself didn't know. Maybe he had changed both ways? That was a question that Skyspray did not know the answer to, but he did know the answer to another question.
((Permission to finish off Old Tessy?))

The critically wounded Avacon knew better than to disobey, it seemed like Sky actually did want him to live, for now. So Shrike pulled himself onto the back of the sparkeater, in agonizing pain the whole way. The process seemed impossible given the mech's condition, but he nevertheless managed to get up there. With some relief, he cling to the Pet and muttered some words. Dear Primus I'm fragged... Shrike knew that by blowing his cover, he had become a tgreat to the Avacon cause, much like Taggon had. But he didn't care, the Autobots weren't such idiots, and this war may have stretched on far too long, but tgere are lives to protect, lives that matter. At least to him.

the Sparkeater walked out, out of the prison, out of its vicinity, then turned to an Autotrooper. The pet growled once at them, and they frantically opened a bridge into the medbay. The Pet walked through, with the panicky Shrike onboard, and the swirling vortex closed.

((You can't gb Pet. No no. Says it in the Thread description. Even A19 Strike Team members can't gb in or out of this area. However, the instant you exit this vicinity, you can gb wherever you want. ))
The A.I. would observe with silent amusement, it Skyspray and Tesarus jabbered at each other, the one who had the logic in this scenario was quite ironic. Personally, to the A.I., Tesarus had a point; Records showed that when Skyspray got angry, he exercised little self-restraint, and had a long record, of, well, killing. Though openly agreeing with a psychopath was not something the A.I. would do, it would silently agree on some of the things Tesarus said--though still, the mech was a prisoner. he wouldn't receive any sympathies whether the A.I. liked the conversation or not.
The A.I. would also notice the Pet and it's victim trying to crawl around, the bleeding mech in a condition that indicated if he did not leave soon, he would be dead. The Pet, known as a ferocious turbofox, was actually trying to help the mech, on orders of its master. Another strange Irony that was quite notable that day. According to it, the A.I. was seeing a good opportunity to get rid of some guests. It would prevent the desperate usage of a ground bridge, blocking the signals sent for the second time that day, but it would let the platform that lead to the exit above lower.
"If you wish to exit, then get on the platform. Out there, you can ground bridge. Like I have to reveal to your just as aggravating master, you may only exit and enter one way. The exit is open now. So leave, if you must." The ceiling was not actually open, but until the Pet entered, the ceiling would never slide aside and permit exiting. Nonetheless, the platform was ready.

Tesarus listened as the mech who Skyspray and shot, told him of some things that were well... boring to Tesarus, but he did notice the impacted of the information had on Skyspray. Then Skypspry turned to him and talked for only a slight amount of time. He listened to Skyspray's short but sweet little comment and couldnt help but notice the mechs own flaw. " My logic is well my own. Also with my logic you have been able to kill many times. The only reason that you may not choose to kill is your own reasoning. Your own weakness either gaining more control or losing control of your old habits. You have a hard journey ahead of you Skyspray, you are a killer and that is true till you die, but you are trying to be the "good" bot. A mech who denies his true self his no mech at all. You are only lying to yourself and one day, far from now, you will realize all you have done is for naught. Wasted years of lying not only to you, but to all that you hold dear. And when they see you as a true killer they will hate you." Tesarus paused then continued, " To sum up, for your weak minded module, if you keep up this pretense of being some great and good bot you will only disappoint yourself. I can see who you are, young one, and in time you shall see too." (( Permission Denied ))

((Then I'll have to come back later )) I'm not hiding that I'm a killer. I have never been. If anything, they all know me as one. And they made me Magnus, twice. So I can't entirely suck at the job. And Tesarus, you want to know a fun fact? As long as you're all dead, I'm happy. It doesn't matter if everyone hates me, since I know that you will be out of service. And if you see who I am, why don't you see what you are yourself?Sky said while taking one step closer again. He also looked down at Tesarus' legs and smiled. Mind if i borrow a leg?He asked while placing the shotgun just above the knee and fired a couple of times. As Tesarus was stuck, he wouldn't be able to evade the blasts more than wriggling. The shotgun blasts would be followed up by tank shells until the leg was weak enough for Sky to pull it off. Sure, it was quite big but it suited his purposes just fine. What they were? That was to be seen later. In the hole that became after the leg was gone, Sky first pointed a tank cannon and fired it into the leg before just placing a small bomb in the hole inside. It was a nasty little bomb and hopefully they wouldn't have to see what happened when it exploded. And if someone were to move it, it would go off, if they tried to disable or enclose it, it would go off and still do what it was supposed to do. So if Tesarus wanted to live, nothing could happen to the bomb. Sky backed up, carrying only the kneecap and part of the lower leg. It really had been too big to carry. He smiled one last time towards Tesarus and nodded. Well, I'm sorry but I have other matters to attend to. Getting cleaned as an example and finding a couple of other mechs. I'm hoping you have enjoyed my visit, I will be back later, Uncle Tesarus. And with that, Sky left the cell containing Tesarus and a lot of energon. He tried to remember which way was the way out and took a chance. Luck really must have been on his side since he actually found his way out to where the elevator was. And it was down. Sky stepped on it and activated it, making it go up. No he was the Magnus so he DID have access to everything that belonged to the autobots and he had clearance to go in in some private areas. The AI could try to stop him but if it did, It would be dooming everything it was built to serve. And that would be a real shame if that happened. So now Sky was on his merry way out of the A-19 part of the brig as the elevator reached the top and entered the real brig. And whatever jammer existed down there, did not exist up here. Sky took a few steps away from the elevator and commed, well basically all protectobots in a big area. ::A-19 has a very important person in their cells. Patrol the brig, double shifts and place guards where I'm at. Nobody leaves or enters with my permission, understood?::::Yes, commander Skyspray::::Good. Good luck then, autobots.::Sky said and ended the comm just as a couple of guards arrived at his position. Sky pointed at where he had been before and the guards placed themselves so that they could cover the area. More guards were on their way and would make sure no bot entered or left. Sky was done playing around. Now that he was out of range of the groundbridge jammer, he could finally open one, which he also did and stepped through. The green vortex disappeared and now all you heard was the sound of protectobots patrolling the area.

Shrike continues to cling to the Pet, being carried out of the prison and through a bridge to an area he does not know of. This whole ordeal was enough pressure on the mech, but the aching pain of his wounds added to the chaos of agony in Shrike's processor. Hopefully whatever with was happening he'd survive.

A groundbridge sparked to life, humming temporarily before a mech stumbled into the corridor. His blood red visor scanned the area, and in deeming it safe, he closed the vortex. A raspy venting could be heard from him as he stood unsteady. His repairs were yet finished, but he could now make do with what he had access to. He began to cut pieces of metal from the walls using toolstools, replacing armor pieces quickly and efficiently. He then began to tend to his motors, bringing them towards decent effectiveness.
In silence he worked, only accompanied by the buzzing of his welder and clicking of metal on metal. He would not be long in repairing himself, and then he would make his way through the facility, navigating his way to a control console or access port for the systems here.
