"...Well. I'm not worried at all," Optimus announced out loud, deadpan and dry.

"Ironhide, form a perimeter. No one goes out of sight, everyone stays in formation." Instantly at attention despite his earlier issues with the Prime, the guard saluted and began barking out orders to the rest of the soldiers, who looked more shaken than expected. Frowning, Optimus turned to the medic.

"Ratchet. How is the radiation levels?"

"Steady, Prime. But I am picking up something weird..."

Instantly, Optimus perked up, his own sensors on high alert. "Weird how...?"

"I don't know. Never picked up anything like it before. Just a big, faint...blip on my scanners, fading in and out."
