Soundwave's Quarters were sparsely decorated, with only a berth for himself, compartments built into the walls for the cassetticons, and a large computer terminal/workstation. The screens on the terminal flashed with various files that may or may not show Soundwave was spying on everyone aboard the Nemesis, and the work table was scattered with parts to cassette like devices.
------------------------------------------------
Soundwave walked into his quarters and sat down at his workstation, he pulled up the list Road Rage had given him, and got to work...

Soundwave re-entered his quarters and set to work searching the Nemesis databases.

Kick-Start's voice buzzes through the communications to Soundwave.
"Sending a comm to Commander Soundwave... I've got the materials for dissection and reconstruction of the Bio-Metal Bug," Kick-Start adds, "You might like to have a table ready for your own investigations."

Soundwave sent a reply. "I have compiled a notable amount of data on the creature during the time you were gone. I will be prepared."

From some way down the hallways, a neat little stunt bike can be heard approaching. There is then the sound of it skidding into a perfect circle of a halt, and then transforming.
Kick-Start is holding her samples and a data pad under one arm, while she knocks the door politely.
"Commander Soundwave? I'm here."

Soundwave got up from the computer terminal and opened the door, looking down at Kick-Start. "Commander Kick-Start."

"Always a pleasure, Soundwave," Kick-Start leans to one side to view his room for a moment around him, then straightens again, "Ahem. Obviously I haven't completed my own analysis yet, but to increase efficiency, I, um..."
She rummages in her plating awkwardly and holds up a sample of the metal, before then producing the information she's gathered on finding it. It's giving off a Bio Metal signature similar - but not identical - to that which all Cybertronians are made of.
"The Autobots are getting lazy. My bodyguard wasn't troubled at all. On the other servo, if I had been alone, irony dictates they would have been over me like a swarm of Scraplets."

"You are concerned over something."

"How perceptive of you, Sou- Commander!" Kick-Start smiles widely, and abruptly turns on one high heel in an attempt to leave quickly, an attempt which would be a great deal more effective if she was another seven or so feet taller.

"The Bio-Metallic sample." Soundwave began. "Have you conducted any preliminary studies?"

"In a... manner of speaking," Kick-Start replies, her hands opening and closing with a mild relief that she's got something else to say she's thinking about. It's not that she never lies. It's just that she's so very, very bad at it, she might as well not bother. Even she's aware of that, "The sample... I tracked it with a signature that's almost identical to a Cybertronian lifesignal. But.... not quite..."
She fidgets a little.
"Except that can't be right because what I picked up was immobile rock," she holds up the lump of metal ore for Soundwave to see, "The rock has a proper life signature."

"Perhaps an organism, or multiple, dwells inside of the sample. I suggest an X-Ray scan."

"Let's hope it's as easy as that. It's days like these I wish Shockwave was still in charge," Kick-Start rubs her head, speaking mostly to herself, "And at the same time it concisely explains why Lord Backbeat is in charge."
She turns away and transforms into stunt-bike mode.
"I'll be in Shockwave's former Laboratory. It's more... specific than mine."
The stunt bike drives away, heading for the labs. Kick-Start is one of the few on board the Nemesis with an alt mode that will drive along the corridors.

"SOUNDWAVE SOUNDWAVE GET AWAY FROM THAT SAMPLE!!!!!!!"
The sound of a stunt bike rounding a corner on the walls is approaching. Kick-Start collides with Soundwave's door.
She probably made it here so much faster BECAUSE she didn't bother to send a comm.

Soundwave opened the door and stepped out. "What happened?"

"SCRAPLETS!!!" Kick-Start shrieks.
There's a moment of confused silence.
"EGGS!" she corrects herself a little, "THAT'S WHY IT HAD A LIFE SIGNAL!!! YOUR CASSETTES WEREN'T BEING RETARDED!!! THAT LIVING METAL IS SCRAPLET EGGS!!!"
She looks about to black out.

Kick-Start freezes her ventilators for several seconds, before speaking again.
"We have unhatched scraplet eggs in the ship... frag, I nearly bust a gear. Thanks Soundwave..."
Her plait twitches.
"We also have a kid in whom they lay dormant for decacycles... I have got to get a few samples of his CNA... A cure... a vaccine... a serious, inner deterrent for Scraplets... Clear the blasted things off Cybertron... finally get them under some control..."
She leans on a wall, trying to steady her vents, and comes to the end of her train of thought.
"Frag, I can't believe I brought Scraplet Eggs on board the Nemesis!"

Soundwave presses a button ant a box descends on the egg sealing it in. "Quarantine the source. Then devise the solution. Hasty thoughts lead to inadequate actions."
