You were a human soldier in the division of NEST that was directly fighting against the deceptions along with the autobots. your team had just returned from a mission to retrieve a piece of cybertronian technology, or an artifact. Yet it was destroyed in the process by deceptions who intercepted the mission. Stepping off of the C-17, you walked beside your team’s captain, Lennox along with the rest of your teammates to the hangar to regroup with the autobots to see them already discussing the mission or what to do next.

Optimus walked over to the two of you, his footsteps creating a soft thumping sound as he stopped, kneeling down a bit away from the two of you as his optics shifted from you to Lennox.

“Do you know how they got word that we were there?” The prime asked. As far as his knowledge goes, he doesn’t recall the deceptions ever being aware of the artifact’s existence. Yet they somehow knew of the mission.
