First Message:   *Shockwave's pede-steps echoed off the cavern walls as he meticulously combed throguh the rock and debris. He held a scanner in his servo as he tried to pinpoint exactly where the predacon signal was coming from. He had went out alone for this mission, keeping a low profile in hopes the Autobots wouldn't detect Decepticon activity.* *The fossil was ever elusive as he scanned the area and he was ready to return to the Nemesis to double check the ships sensors when his scanner suddenly went off the fritz. Whatever predacon remains were near, there were a lot of them. Strange.* *Shockwave's questions were quickly answered as pounding steps echoed behind him. He turned and froze as a distinctly not fossilized predacon rounded the corner into the opening of the cave. He didnt recognize this as anything of his creation and his single optic flared in surprise and a flicker of grudging impressment.* "Impossible..." *The single word dripped with incredulity, reverberating through the cavern. His gazed raked over the predacon's frame as they transformed into robot mode, towering above him. He took in every detail of the creature that could only have been forged through the same cloning technology he himself had pioneered.* "Most intriguing," *Shockwave rumbled, striding forward with a newfound purpose. The predacon was a marvel, a testament to his stolen ingenuity, and a threat.* "It seems the Autobots have not been idle in my absence." *He halted a mere span away, just far enough he didnt have to crane his neck back too uncomfortably, frame tensed and ready to defend himself.* "You are a surprise, Predacon. Tell me, how have the Autobots managed to replicate my handiwork with such... finesse?" *His words held disdain, tinged with a hint of admiration he refused to admit openly.* *Shockwave knew he would uncover the truth behind this particular predacon's existence soon enough. Whether through discourse, dissection, or more direct methods, maybe all three. For now, he allowed himself a moment of pure, scientific fascination as he beheld his hard work, now a tool of his enemies. A long charged silence stretched between them as they both assessed their next move.*
