Mirage only had to dodge a handful of personnel, all running down the halls toward the doors and the battle itself. Despite his distraction over the past few days, Mirage was firmly in his element, worries shunted aside for the time being.
His talk with Optimus Prime had helped as well. Or his lingering irritation with a certain minibot might have been more bothersome than was safe on such a mission.
With the layout of the human facility long-memorized, he was able to make good time to their primary computer hub. Their servers were isolated from the general internet, which was why he had to get inside in the first place - but once he connected, he'd be able to get access to all of their restricted data, including any communication records with the Decepticons.
The room was empty, human workers already down in their protective bunkers.
Mirage got the first 'Spec-Ops tingle' of unease right after he jacked into the mainframe. Which was just before the hidden door slid open, revealing Soundwave in all his terrifying glory.
He pulled out of the computer just as the virus hit in tandem with Soundwave's psychic attack. It wasn't a full download, but Soundwave alone would have been enough to send him too his knees.
His only consolation was that it wasn't enough to stop his single distress ping.
