Looking up, Black Sun nodded silently. She stood up to her somewhat short height of 23ft., then began to walk through the doors like Starscream had. "I suppose you should lead the way?" She said.

Indeed, when it is that I who leads, the goal is all but assured to be accomplished.
Starscream let out a low silent chuckle to himself, quite enough so that Black Sun could not hear it. He was no expendable and he wasn't afraid to tell anybody his desire on becoming the leader of the Decepticons. As he numerously stated, he believed his guidance would utterly bring victory to the Decepticon army.
As a few minutes went by, he made a left to set sight on the faraway sealed door and just above itself was a clear title of the Decepticon archives. Of course, their was no doubt that they couldn't locate with him being here. Approaching the door, the red 28 foot seeker pressed a button on the handle to gain access inside, raising one of his arms to wave over for Black Sun to follow. He had to admit, it actually looked a lot bigger then he thought when he was outside. Thankfully, it looked like librarian had alphabetized it in Cybertronian lettering. Nightfall's profile must have been around here somewhere, because even he knew the deceased still had a place here.

While following Starscream through the door, Black Sun had noticed a red flickering light in one of the hallway corners. Squinting her optics a little bit, she noticed it was lodged in pretty light. Soon enough, she caught the glimpse of a camera lense. Registering the information, she noted that she'd have to keep an eye out. I was right, Shockwave would be keeping tabs and surveillance on me... I wonder if he caught anything about the recording..Shaking it off silently, she made sure the door closed behind her, which she trotted along after Starscream. (( Starscream: Should we move the RP? Or nah?))

(( Naaaah, Starscream doesn't really like to chill at libraries XD. We can just stay in the same thread. ))
Starscream's optic peaked at the camera lense. Damn Shockwave, was he actually watching him right now? Oh no, did he find out about the recording? No, what was he thinking, he couldn't possibly figured all of that out, he didn't even know where the seeker had gone off to. Just to safe and avoid all suspicion, he'd have to find that profile quickly and talk about it with her outside the area. Their was no better time as no Decepticons seemed to have been in this part of the section of the ship.
It should be somewhere here. Tell me if you find a profile case with the name Nightfall. That's you. Beginning to pull and shuffle through the side by side lettering, he noticed right at the center of the archive room was a giant symbol of Megatron's faceplate. Why was he not surprised? They gave that rust bucket the largest profile base out of everyone's here.

The isles were numbered in alphabetical order, so Black Sun wandered over to the 'n's, which wasn't to far from the entrance. Taking a few skipping steps, she began to look for the words 'nightfall'. The names began to shift to the point where they started to start with 'Night'. Nightbird.... Nightcandle...Nightessence...Nightlock...
Wait, what?
Skimming her digit back across the shelf surface, she noticed that there was no 'Nightfall' to be listed. There was, however, a gap in the shelves, and the dust was startled after all the years the files had been here. Someone already came through here.. she inspected, then began to study the dust patterns further. It was pulled out, and taken off the shelf.. But.. Looking away from the shelf, she looked both ways through the halls. Where did it go..

Walking up behind her, Starscream observed her file through all the name, seeing for himself just to make sure she actually knew how to read. The name Nightfall wasn't there, scrap, he must have taken it out and removed it. He couldn't be shocked, that cyclops was probably doing everything in his power to not let her discover the truth. At this point, he was seriously starting to get impatient, the voice recording was enough evidence, why does she need to look for archive profile? The fact it wasn't here should give her more then enough proof.
Ahem, it isn't here, step outside for a moment.
Walking away from the camera lenses sight of view, the seeker waited for Black Sun to follow along out of the door until he'd return to speaking.
Can't you see it now? He's afraid of you. He probably scrapped that identity profile, because he knows if you knew the truth, you'd surely rise up and overthrow him. You must be troubled by his actions. You're a smart one, I know you can't let him deceive you like this as his own personal puppet.

A small sense of defeat filled Black Sun. Now knowing that the on-file copy of Nightfall's profile was gone, there was the least of likely chance of them finding it.. With a sigh, she followed Starscream until they stopped once more. "But it's Killing me, Starscream! What is Shockwave so scared of?" Black Sun's voice cracked a tad bit, which her voice spiked. She seriously sounded like she was answering a question. "Even if we do manage to get our servos on the missing files, what would Shockwave do if he found out! The first thing he'd probably do is stick that cortical thingy back on me!"

He placed a cltuched servo on the side of his waist, raising his other free servo and palming it onto his faceplate as if he was very disappointed in her. Forget fear, this one right here was the scared one, it couldn't be blamed really, he didn't even know the full extent to all that Cyclop's projects in his lab. We don't need to, the fact it is missing is your proof. Besides, are you already forgetting about that voice recording, he fragging killed you! Then he revived you to make you his undying loyal slave. How can you accept that? I don't think you see the situation, he believes your his property, if you attack him now, you can dethrone him, he wouldn't expect it from one of his creations.
Starscream was now scowling, doing everything in his power to make her turn against him. He seriously didn't expect it to go that way, if this was him, the first motion he'd have is a killer intent on the one who caused it.
I know you won't be able to live like this, a false life filled with nothing, but lies. Don't act like a coward, you are the second in command after all.

He had never said anything about dethroning Shockwave. Black Sun's optics narrowed, which something in the back of her helm began to talk to her. 'Don't do anything rash until you know it's time'. Unlike the things Starscream began to tell her, the small phrase that whispered in the back of her helm seemed... logical.. "Just because we have one or two pieces of evidence, it doesn't mean that we should immediately do something rash. In any lawful jury trial, someone would show seven or eight exhibits and facts, and those sometimes don't win." Black Sun's vocals were struggling to maintain a talking-volume. "Something, no, someone is telling me that dethroning Shockwave instantly would be... predictable. If we want to do this swiftly, then were going to need more facts and a plan."
She broke her sentence, letting the words slip out of her intake. But she wasn't done. Oh no, I've got scrap to say.. "And to me, Attacking Shockwave with swords and guns is cowardly. If you truly want to win, you've gotta' humiliate him at his own game.."

Two major pieces if I say. Coupled with that, you cannot remember anything of your former past.
Tempted again, he did not let himself fall victim to one of his famous sinister smirks. Alas, finally, the scheming was underway, perfect, it seemed like all of that effort was worth doing in the very end. Shifting his helm off to the side just to be sure no one was around and watching, Starscream looked back at Black Sun, giving a nod in agreement, switching his expression to a calm and serious one. Ah yes, brilliant idea. We will strike when he least expects it. Tell me, do you have a plan? Knowing you, I'm sure it'll succeed. Oh, let us keep this quiet. Only we two can know about this, remember, if someone overhears about this scheme, a loyalist to Shockwave will report about the situation. I just want you to know, I rather have you as my leader.

((Um, my internet went down spontaneously two days ago, so I was unable to respond. Just to tell you guys..))
Back in the hallway, Chaff had finished up his job. Starscreams little take-away of Black-Sun had made the head of engineering frown, since he had just been starting to kick into a good conversation. Ever since Graph had left, it appeared that not really anyone was up for Chaff's level of talking. No funny comments either. It was as if Chaff had to be the life of the ship. Talk about dry personalities. Chaff just hummed to himself as he sealed the ceiling shut, after of course disconnecting the sires which suspended him upside down.
Now where to? Chaff pondered. The two had clearly wanted private conversation---but did that mean he couldn't leak in on it? He could just track them, since he and are a GPS for Black Sun. Plus, he knew the ship like the back of his servo. So sneaking in would cool. He had a cloaking device---Hmm. It wouldn't be too polite--but--- Chaff had already activated his cloaking device, and was navigating his way down the shadowy corridors, heading for Starscream and Black Sun. The head of Engineering was stealthy in his stalk, and as he neared their location, he kept his very sensitive audios tuned. He held deathly still when they were in earshot, listening and recording, as he always did.
"And to me, Attacking Shockwave with swords and guns is cowardly. If you truly want to win, you've gotta' humiliate him at his own game.."
WHAT? A revolution? A surpise party? An ambush? Chaff kept listening closely, knowing that he had hardly made a sound. If Starscream and Black Sun were planning a take-over, then well--Wait a second there Chaffy-boy. Slow down. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? What are their intentions, and do the benefits outweigh the cons?
"Ah yes, brilliant idea. We will strike when he least expects it. Tell me, do you have a plan? Knowing you, I'm sure it'll succeed. Oh, let us keep this quiet. Only we two can know about this, remember, if someone overhears about this scheme, a loyalist to Shockwave will report about the situation. I just want you to know, I rather have you as my leader."
This was getting juicy.

"In order to gain more evidence, we might have to gain access to a certain section of the archives facility. We might have to get into the vault, if there is one. Anything there may lead us to historical events related to Nightfall. The file might also be hidden in there. But if it isn't, It may be in...." Black Sun's voice broke off, which she thought about the lab Chaff had mentioned. Shockwave's Lab...
Knowing that it would most likely be supermax security, It was always worth a try. Maybe I could do some research on some of Shockwave's inventions..

That shouldn't be to difficult, you are second in command after all, you probably have enough access to every facility like Shockwave does. Except... They must have been thinking the same thing from the way she cut off from her sentence. Shockwave's laboratory. No, that was suicide, he wasn't planning to sacrifice his life on this attempt, he was to valuable to the Decepticon cause after all. Starscream knew the purple logical mech enough that the last area you will want to infiltrate was his lab. He heard the stories onto those who tried to break in, they almost immediately became a victim of one of his unpleasant experiments.
I know. That is out of the reasoning. It is suicide. We will by no doubt be killed if we're caught. A slow suffering death. Not only that, you'll fall prey to his projects, the worst type you can possibly image inside your processor.

Anything there may lead us to historical events related to Nightfall. The file might also be hidden in there. But if it isn't, It may be in...." Black Sun's voice trailed off, and Chaff cocked his helm, still in his cloaked mode.
"That shouldn't be to difficult, you are second in command after all, you probably have enough access to every facility like Shockwave does. Except..." Chaff tried to listen harder, heeding his optics to their maximum, and trying hard to listen. These two were both trailing off, reasoning, brainstorming, and thinking hard about this revolt. It was crazy to actually be listening to one." I know. That is out of the reasoning. It is suicide. We will by no doubt be killed if we're caught. A slow suffering death. Not only that, you'll fall prey to his projects, the worst type you can possibly image inside your processor."
Chaff was listening, and he was seeing some good potential for some benefits here. He could report these two, take some good credit, and be hailed as a very good vehicon. Possibly get some more respect. But would respect get him more friends? Maybe 'friends' but if he was promoted would he just wind up like Black Sun? Everyone trying to suck up to her, like this seeker Starscream. Maybe. Chaff cocked his helm. Hmmmmmm. Chaff kept considering. He couldn't tell any of his friends this. Not even Stalaken. They were all loyalists! Wait a second. I know someone who I could talk to...though I kinda just met that person...dang. Who to trust? Chaff thought to himself. Because he knew that it would be something spectaular to do, he decided to pipe up. He did not speak in his own voice though. Or breakdowns...Oh no. He selected Shockwave's voice to speak from. Freak the living tar out of these people's brains.
"It is predictable, how you, Starscream, would organize for my own Second in Command to rebel against me. It is unfortunate, that you have taken this course of action. The femme Qoa will be the Next Air-Commander now, thanks to your foolish actions. As for you Black Sun, my insolent puppet, I shall be allowing you to join Starscream in accompanying the DJD. Before you ask out of your over used tongues, I was able to hear you because I suspected an even such as this would take place. I installed my Audio receptors to the cameras and detectors in the ship. Thanks to my mechanic, Chaff, who you may have seen repairing the walls. He was adjusting the final cameras and audio sensors. Expect your exterminations soon." Chaff let the deep, cold voice rumble. Oh, he couldn't wait for their reactions!

"He's already killed me, reprogrammed my thoughts, and gave me a false name to make me think I'm a different person!" Black Sun said, her voice, yet again, struggling to keep a quiet tone. "What could he possibly do to hurt or experiment on me? I have nothing to loose. Primus, we don't know what lies within here-" Using one of her digits, she poked the side of her helm. "Besides, we won't be going through the front doors.. And we might have to mess with the power.. If we take out the power, none of his inventions will work. Or even the surveillance cameras."
"It is predictable, how you, Starscream, would organize for my own Second in Command to rebel against me. It is unfortunate, that you have taken this course of action.

I installed my Audio receptors to the cameras and detectors in the ship. Thanks to my mechanic, Chaff, who you may have seen repairing the walls. He was adjusting the final cameras and audio sensors. Expect your exterminations soon."
Black Sun paused, then turned her helm to see where the voice was coming from. She didn't seem to be alarmed, not a first. She looked around until she noticed a moving transparent substance in the air. Studying the curves of the shape, she immediately noticed it was a person. Looking at where the helm would have been, she narrowed her red optics. Not in realization, but in anger. The look was so dark that she could have been staring into Chaff's spark. Studying it, striping it to the point where she knew who he was. Then, in a swift motion, Black Sun unsheathed a single knife from her forearm knife hold and through it at the cloaked figure. Not caring if it made contact, she snorted. "You better show yourself, before I rip that cloaking mechanism from your systems with my bare servos." she growled.

Sh-Shockwave?! No, no, you misunderstand, my liege. We were only.. wait. Just as shoulders let out a flinch, nervous motions started to flow through his chassis, but he quickly became suspicious of something. He did not see Shockwave anywhere, nor did he understand the concept of somehow connecting one's audio receptors through all the vessel's systems. It didn't make sense, not even on Shockwave's standards. He saw Black Sun catching a strange wavy transparent source flowing in front of her. Of course, that wasn't Shockwave, it was a cloaking device and someone was mimicking his voice. Relieved it wasn't him, the Seeker straightened his posture, eliminating all signs to suggest cowardness as his optics now looked at the same object the femme was currently threatening.
You there, remove that cloak. How dare you move in on other superior ranked officials conversations without permission.

Chaff gave a chuckle, as he moved to the side, dodging the knife. Starscream's reaction was very amusing, and Chaff considered saving it later, for a giant joke. The vehicon uncloaked as he had asked to be, his arms folded as he stood up straight. The vehicon had a yellow vertical visor, he was completely black save for a long and thick emerald stripe which stretched from the top of his left wing, to the bottom of his right leg. His design was sleeker,a dn slimmer then most vehicons, and he was a bit shorter as well. Chaff was grinning broadly behind his mask, and he mimicked Starscream's voice perfectly;
"You there, remove that cloak. How dare you move in on other superior ranked officials conversations without permission."
Chaff said, his recording voice getting some of his own point across: I have you little voice recordings guys! To prevent a 'let's dispose of him' feeling, Chaff spoke up, now using another voice: a mech named Taggon, since he had a calm, way of handling things.
"You know Black Sun, ma'am, the least you could have done was jump some. I guess you have some courage though, which maybe is more then Starscream, the highest of high could say. I am the Head of Engineering you know, so I actually have business down here, like repairing some energon lines, and all that jazz. You two just couldn't help but talk about rebelling in the wrong place, and at the wrong time." Chaff gesture to them, calmly addressing them like they were an unorganized brother and sister. The way Taggon always handled things.
"Now tell me. What is in it for you Starscream. Tell me your true intentions of why you want Black Sun as leader. I do not recall any selflessness coming out of you before. Just sayin' I read your file."

Black Sun fell silent, not exactly sure what was going on, or what was starting...
"Now tell me. What is in it for you Starscream. Tell me your true intentions of why you want Black Sun as leader. I do not recall any selflessness coming out of you before. Just sayin' I read your file."
Black Sun began to silently analyze what was happening, which she kept a small note on everything everyone said. It was like an automatic take-notes mode.

Quite bold of you to say, coming from someone whose to scared to even reveal themselves, hiding around to listen from attention. Don't even try to pull authority against me, fool. Sadly, we are of equal command, I am the head of the aerial forces. Just what he needed, some short circuited mech to come in and pry his audio receptors out. He had to be cautious and extremely careful, attacking, or even threatening Chaff could cause him to go whine to Shockwave and spoil the secrets of their scheme. He had to think of a way to stall and get rid of him, before he could take Black Sun back to that empty room.
Intentions? Have the second in command turn against her leader, possibly overthrowing him, or die trying. Either, it was a win win for the Seeker.
What are you, a loyalist? This is Shockwave were talking about, he's no Megatron, I refuse to bow to that logic obsessed mech. Besides, he's treated Decepticons around here quite unfairly who deserve some needed justice. Don't tell me you're actually going to tell him about this? You should know that Black Sun is a better fit leader. I assure you, under his rule, no one around here is going to get the treatment they desire.

Since when did I ever say that? She thought, which she looked at Starscream with somewhat narrowed optics. Is he?- No, that was impossible... Was it? She began to question Starscream's true intentions. Was he using her? was all of this a bunch of B.S he made up? Was he hiding the file?
Son of a Glitch. I'll have to do research by myself. It turns out I can't trust anyone..
