A crater marked patch of lunar surface.
Backbeat warps into the area... waiting for his guests.

A powerful GB roars to life in the area with a large jet rushing through it with it closing behind the jet. The jet then transforms into the Decepticon Emperor, him sliding from the momentum, slowing to a halt. As Death Wish stopped, he stood straight up, Backbeat probably just looking on.
"Backbeat, there better be a good reason to bring me here!"

Backbeat watches the jet fly in, a look of boredom and impatience on his mouth-less face. The self declared god of madness steps forward, with some sort of staff in his hand.
' Calm your self my young friend. I have a good reason to remove you from the field... '
He presses a button on the handle of the staff, causing it to glow... He holds the staff up in the air and turns to look down at a nearby cliff and the valley below. A blueish light, same as the staff glows for a second as rocks disappear, replaced with drones and machines working at fevered pitch, metal structures being built into the lunar rock it's self...The holographic shroud lifting in this single valley.
' A gift from our good friend the Illusionist... You'd be surprised how quickly he decided to help when I said I'd rat him out to the DJD... Ha ha ha! But aside from that I'd say my super weapon is coming along nicely... Yep, with this we'll be able to cut the Autobots out of Earth like a doctor does a cancer. And I mean it quite literally... '
He adds
' Operations here are critical, no one outside a select few know of the project's existence... And we must keep it that way. Yes... Still... The workers have managed to tap into one of the few energon reserves on this rock, which has sped up work immensely. Now tell me, how goes our Russian front? I trust your operation is proceeding on schedule despite the loss of the Nemesis? '

Death Wish raises an optic ridge as the massive project is revealed. He was a bit shocked that Backbeat had done so much work. As Backbeat spoke Death Wish gave full attention, waiting for Backbeat to finish before speaking.
"Retribution is complete, we are moving Decepticon operations there. Taurokhun is running Moscow, that will be a factory city, used to build our numbers up. All in all, I am mostly pleased. This though, I admit is quite a surprise. Finally, one of your end of the world schemes might actually be useful. I am impressed Backbeat."
Death Wish said earnestly, though sort of reluctantly. He still hated Backbeat, and if it wasn't for the fact that this gun would be useful, he would seriously consider killing him right now. Instead, however, ideas were churning in the processor of Death Wish, something new entered the game, something which could change the war completely.

Backbeat chuckled... While he wished he could just destroy the damn upstart here and now... He had done it before. But if he did, the Autobots would know he was up to something. Best to stick to the plan for now... Let the Autobots deal with Deathwish.
' I'm impressed as well... Your scheme is progressing slowly but surely. Although the loss of the Nemesis has set us back... The troops will be restless. And this fiasco has given our foes time and hope! Two things they must not be allowed! '
Backbeat sudddenly calms down. Looking at Deathwish.
' I need not remind you that the Autobots will start to snoop around if left unoccupied... Something we must avoid if possible. '

Death Wish looked to the ground a bit and raised a hand to his chin thinking a bit before responding.
"Indeed, the Nemesis set back was unfortunate. Now the Autobots possess the engines of the Nemesis. While I don't know for sure, I believe they are trying to rebuild the Ark. Now as far as protecting your machine, I will put troops and resources at your disposal. Do what you need to do to protect this place...it is vital to our next steps and to the crippling of this worlds governments."

Backbeat pauses for a second. A rare sight... He crushes the staff in his hands in anger.
' They... WHAT?! '
His voice has lost it's friendly tone, as he tosses aside the broken staff.
' The Autobots have the engines?! No... NO! It's too soon! They aren't suppose to get back yet... '
He shakes his head. Then looks at Deathwish. He starts laughing...
' Ha. Ha. Ha. HA HA HA HA! Deathwish... Have your Decepticons slow down progress on their new ship... But do NOT stop it cold... Once the lunar weapon is complete... Their ship will fly. Fly right into my trap... All of the Autobots destroyed in one fell swoop! I believe you know what to do? '

Death Wish raised an optic ridge at Backbeat. He was a bit angered, but not at all surprised at Backbeat. He looked Backbeat right in the optics and announced.
"Backbeat, you hold responsibility over this lunar base, do not ever tell me what to do! I have half a mind to take you off the lunar base and give it to Quaketread. Remember this, I do not care what you think. Just do your job and keep your mouth shut."
Death Wish stayed, talking with a certain level of anger, but still keeping his cool. He did not move much, but rather stayed standing to present a calm exterior.

Backbeat looked at Deathwish. A serious look in his optics.
' What I give I can take away... '
He adds, his more friendly tone returning. As if it was another person stepping into the conversation.
' Besides... I'm not trying to usurp you... Merely opening a door. Step through it or don't... Your the boss. Besides, we both know Quaketread has neither the patients or mad skillz to pull this off. He's more for battlefield stuff... '
Backbeat then chuckles
' You know... Should you take my advice... As Decepticon leader it would be your finger on the button that ended the Autobots... That would be something even Megatron could respect... But if it's too risky it's too risky... Probably should play it safe... '

Death Wish looked at Backbeat intently, he presented valid points, and with other possible threats to him even in the Decepticons...it might be best for him to have the inside information. Death Wish proceeded to speak with a much calmer demeanor.
"Keep this quiet for now Backbeat. The fewer people who know, the better until it is finished. You have my permission to get the troops that you need to protect the machine. Let me handle my business and I promise you, you will be rewarded for your efforts."

Backbeat chuckles
' Agreed... Loose lips sink death stars... And don't worry about the security up here... I've got it under control. Unlike others I could name... Ha. '
He adds
' Now you should get going... The others will get suspicious... And we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise right? '

' He adds ' Now you should get going... The others will get suspicious... And we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise right? ' "Agreed" Death Wish said as he turned and walked away. He sent a message quickly, and before long a GB opened and Death Wish walked through it, the bridge closing behind him.

Backbeat chuckles
' Of course... Ha ha ha... '
He waits until Deathwish is gone before snapping his fingers. Two dark green vehicons decloak.
' You know what to do... '
The two vehicons nod and recloak, slinking back into the shadows as Backbeat looks out over the horizon at the construction of his new weapon.

Nevermore lands near Backbeat, she transforms to robot mode and approaches him, holding a data pad.
" Found it! Found it! "
Backbeat turns away from the valley he was looking at, construction was continuing at it's slow pace. He chuckles as Nevermore does a mocking bow.
' And our new friends? '
" Already expecting another job. "
Backbeat's optics showed a smile behind the un-moving faceplate.
' Good! Now then... I do believe we can move to the next stage... '

Beneath the facade of the holographic cloak covering the various large tracts of lunar land, vehicons and worker drones toiled. Building structures and excavating rocks. Overlooking this work was a robed vehicon. The Illusionist as he preferred to be called was speaking to one of the architects of this project. My lord requests thy update.
The architect nods. We are wrapping up construction. But require more supplies to finish.
The cloaked figure nod. Motioning him to leave.
