Classified base, Washington DC. After the mission in Cherymbol, Russia, the Autobots returned to base with a familiar space artifact that belonged to their kind, despite humans holding it in secret.

Lennox: despite the tense room, the cornel walked into the room with director mearning. Optimus, you remember Charlotte Mearing? Our Director of National Intelligence..

Dino: speaking up with his Italian accent thick as he waved his servo in gesture to Optimus still in his alt-mode silently. He's in a bad mood. He's a not want to talk-a to anybody today.

Director Mearning: raising an eyebrow in confusion and un-amusement What is this? The silent treatment?

Ironhide: rolling his optics as the weapon specialist up with a grunt We've seen that, and this is not that.

Que: speaking up from behind Definitely not-

Ironhide: continuing over the scientist as he walks over to Optimus' Alt-mode This is worse..Prime, make something of yourself!

BONK Ironhide bonks his fist on top of Optimus' hood of his Alt-mode. Optimus starts to transform in an angry and tense manner back to his bipedal form, while trying to keep his anger in.

Ironhide: in a grunt while backing away He's pissed.

Optimus: after transforming into his bipedal form, he flammed his servos down on the table with the exhaustion pipes letting steam out of him in anger You lied to us. Everything humans' know of our planet we were told had all been shared. So why was this found in human possession?

Director Mearning: keeping herself professional, despite facing an angry Prime as she spoke calmly and professionally We were in the dark on this also. It was director-only clearance at Sector 7, until now. The bag.

Director Mearning paused momentarily to turn to her assistant who was, unfortunately, carrying multiple bags at once. the assistant was looking for the right bag.

Assistant: whispering to director mearning in a slight panicked and embarrassed manner Which bag?

Director Mearning: Air Ms. Berkin, green ostrich! Oh my god.
