Arrival to Griffin Rock. Part 1

                                    

                                          
The bunker was noisy compared to other days, and it wasn't noisier because the audio and the mic of the video call from the sigma was silent, but Heatwave's hands said the ship internal storage was a mess due to the shutdown, he, Chase, and Boulder were dealing with it as much as possible while Blades fixed something too tiny to notice in the captain's chair.
"There's a third one?"
"Don't make me repeat everything again, Ratchet!" Arcee argued with the med bot.
"Let me process this!" Ratchet said annoyed "The last time I knew something about a Wave was this morning because he tried to get into the bunker. We can't let them in!"
"Sorry?"
"Ratchet, why do you say that?" Optimus said, interrupting Elita.
"You heard both Arcee and Megatron! He was also into the decepticon movement, what will happen when he figured out Shockwave is dead, and Soundwave is searched for criminal acts?"
"If it's true what they say about twin-sparks, I'm sure he already knows that" Arcee retake the conversation.
"We will not tell him." Optimus decided with severity.
"But Optimus!" Elita said with wide eyes "I know is risky, but we're talking about his brothers, not just brothers in arms or friends, his spark born with them, they're like a unity!"
"We can't let the new guests do any kind of harm to Griffin Rock or in mainland," Optimus answered back "and we still don't know the others, the worst scenario we have to imagine is the rest of his team following him with no protest."
"So, you will make like nothing happened?" Raf protested, his voice was deeper than in the old times, making the seriousness of the conversation hit harder "we will just follow Soundwave till he's imprisoned while Heatwave lives in secret in an island in God knows where?"
"I know it's not fair..."
"Nothing of what we're doing is fair, Prime" Megatron replied, not letting Optimus finish his sentence "that's why we started this plan when G.H.O.S.T was founded" he said and like never, looking at the floor like a ashamed cat, "Heatwave's right, I was supposed to protect my kind but now I'm hunting them"
"We are all hunting them, and you're right" said the Prime while putting a hand on Meg's shoulder "but you're not the only one to blame. We all have this mission" he said, returning to the rest "and while G.H.O.S.T. is hunting our kind, we will protect as much as we can, including this Rescue Team. But we also must be cautelous, if a decepticon, or worse, a group of decepticons discover Griffin Rock's potential, it will be the end of all of us, we must keep both in secret."
The room fell silent again, with no protest and no interruptions, except a call tune. It was Fowler with someone else on the line.
"We're ready, Fowler." Chief Charlie Burns said through his comm.
"When you're ready, Optimus" Fowler said finally. The plan was about to be, Optimus activated the mic on the call to sigma.
"Rescue Team, let's do a last check." Without anything to say, everyone sat in their places in a hurry.
"Coordinates check, sir" Boulder prepared themself.
"Motors functioning, sir" Chase said as firmly as a soldier.
"Nothing wrong on the landing structure" Blades said annoyed of his anxiety.
"Everything's okay, sir, we're ready to land" Heatwave answered only with a serious expression and voice.
