Jack was eavedropping. From around a far corner. Not so subtle, but that happened a lot on this base. It was a small and kinda cramped sometimes and with Rhinox and Steeljaw around (well, more Rhinox technically) it was likely to get even more cramped. Optimus acknowledged that they were probably going to have to open up some of the subterranean passages and clean them out to make room since Team Prime had expanded so suddenly in the last few months – League and Vel first, then Blaster, Bluestreak, Dipper, Ironhide, Shadowrunner, all at once. Then Steeljaw and now Rhinox…
Optimus was glad of survivors, glad of some sign that the obliteration of Cybertron did not spell the extinction of their race… and then just as swiftly some part of his spark dreaded to hear the news that those like Steeljaw and Rhinox inevitably brought with them. He’d listened carefully to the initial report sent to him via comm. with his scout and the addendum from Shadowrunner. Team Axalon. He knew of them, engineers and soldiers, Autobot fighters with an excellent reputation for getting the job done…
“Gone?” repeated Optimus quietly. A moment of quiet followed this, the Prime quietly processing Rhinox’s initial report for the Axalon’s status. All hands lost. It seemed improbable that two survivors, one after the other, should seemingly be sole-survivors of doomed ships. He looked at Rhinox. “You are certain of this?”
