::I would prefer more than a slight chance at not being assassinated, Prowl.:: Optimus grumbled with a amused snort.
::The physical limiters will do a world of good, Prime.:: Ratchet started, not bothering to glance back as he worked. ::If we can cover enough bases, the remaining shell backups won't be able to take him over without a great deal of effort - which will give the now further modified consort programming I'm working on plenty of time to kick in and give warning, to him and us. Not to mention activating it once more will only give it's backup locations away.::
Jazz nodded in agreement, optics dimmed in concentration as he worked.
::Yeah, just take his comm offline. I know ya wanted information, but that ain't worth the risk, boss. Besides, if some of his rebels want t' talk to him, they will find a way, comm or no comm. Ways that will give them away far more than just a simple ping.::
Optimus frowned, but eventually nodded.
::Very well. Do it. But we still need to be able to contact him ourselves. Get him a remote comm. We'll keep the frequency among ourselves.::
