Ep1-Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble-Open

At the sound of heavy footfalls, Acid Storm craned his neck just in time to see Megatron enter his lab, filling the doorway and blocking the outside sources of light to the lab. The Seeker had not expected the warlord to be the first to respond, at most he expected Shockwave to show up with more orders and at least Starscream to drop by and rant for a few hours. Though he had a feeling that Megatron used the message as an excuse to get away from something distasteful. This didn't bother Acid Storm, bothering would intale that these actions surprised him, the only thing that made the seeker raise an optic ridge was the claim that he was looking for some sort of praise.

Slowly the scientist stood up from his chair to stand at something vaguely resembling attention. "Lord Megatron, I sent out the message to all parties who might want to go over the tactical uses of the virus or would simply be interested to know that it is now comparable to a reliable weapon."

He didn't seem frightened of the warlord, closer to mildly annoyed that anybot thought he cared about the outside opinions of others, much less want sort of slag they might spout to gain his favor. But he simply continued with his little status report "I am currently working on the cure, in case a drone stumbles into the canister or any number of other accidents. It should be ready for Knock Out's safe keeping and replication within a few standard Earth days." He paused for a moment before going on "If you wish I can list the numerous ways we could employ the virus, though I have a feeling your far ahead of me in that department, Lord Megatron." as much as he found working with and for Decepticons tiresome, Acid Storm did not forget about the sort of minds that surrounded him, after all Megatron himself created a virus that could rival this plaything of Serotype's, even with his augmenting and tweaking. And if not Megatron then Shockwave had no doubt put a few cycles towards the virus, both of which were not light-weights when it came to this sort of work.

"In short, my Lord. It is ready for whatever it is you require it for and if needed I can change it to better suite your needs." With these words he stopped his mild rambling, waiting for Megatron to order what it was next for him to do or what topic the warlord wished to have a detailed breakdown of.

Acid Storm stood before the towering Megatron, a near constant reminder of why he was a Decepticon in the first place. Though in spite of his extreme dislike of this forced life style, the scientist had never turned traitor and due to his lack of ambition, never tried to climb ranks by killing his fellows. Loyalty in some sense at least.

More to the point, now that Megatron was focused on his new 'toy' it took the focus off of him, in that regard the two drastically different mechs were alike. "In it's current state simply coming into contact is a low hazard, if it manages to slip into a crack or a crevasse it will be absorbed fully. It can be just sprayed on a foe to get the desired affect. But my Lord, I can intigrfate it into current weaponry so that each blast of even a standard drone laser carries a small amount of the bio-weapon. Delivered in this manner we would only need very little as the compound in an open wound is about as sure a death sentence as having one's spark ripped out."

With that out of the way Acid Storm pulled out one of his personal bombs, it hosted a simple rust formula at the moment, though he held it up to Megatron's optic. "In a day I can convert it to a gas state and build host bombs or land-mines. As a gas all it needs is to blow passed a Cybertronian, as we are not quite air-tight, once even a speck has flowed into the victim, the result is the same as if you dunked one in the tub of the virus in a fluid state." as he finished explaining he tucked the bomb back away and placed his hands behind his back, keeping this toxic green optics on Megatron, watching for any of the warlord's infamous emotional shifts.
