The sudden comm and offered frequency were a surprise, and Optimus gave Megatron a short glance out of the side of his optics.
::Good idea. Thank you.::
A subtle nod, and he connected to the frequency, examining the map data for a moment before continuing.
::...Attention all personnel in levels Delta-zero-three and below. Please make your way to the higher levels as we preform a...routine maintenance check. I repeat, please report to the higher levels for the time being until the all-clear is given. Thank you.::
While the communication was calm...the reaction really wasn't. While no other miners were directly in sight, the sudden echoing sounds of a dozen or so mechs dashing to the surface now that they had been given leave to do so sounded out through the tunnels. Three wide-optic'd mechs from further down raced past the group, going so far as to shove into the guards in their panic, and it took a quick, snapped command over private lines so make them stand down.
Clearly, they assumed the worst, and Optimus' optics narrowed at the implications.
