Optimus' frame did not move, and his expression remained flat when the situation was dropped onto Fortress, watching intently as the other Cybertronian tensed up and appeared to grow a bit guarded and strained. It was a reaction that was expected all things considered, Optimus just happy that it was thrown out there now, and that things could progress to focus on the actual strengths this alliance could bring them instead of the absurdity of it all.
"I plan to focus upon acquiring additional fuel."
Decisive. While other things can be looked into as well, not planning to ignore other problems or issues blindly, Energon was a very big issue and they needed to address it first while they had the Decepticons pushed away temporarily.
"Part of the arrangement is that whoever has claimed a mining site, cannot be challenged for it. We need only find one, and we can harvest all without contest."
This was a double boon. Not only did it mean that they could gut the mine entirely and get everything from it that they possibly could, it also meant that they could relax and focus on safety far more than they may otherwise feel able to do. By being rushed, by having the fear of attack, Optimus was certain corners were being cut to save time and it was only by the grace of luck or fate that there hasn't been an accident yet, especially considering none of the troopers were actual miners by trade.
They just had to find a viable mine.
"Patrolling for an Energon site has become high priority, while still keeping attention out for Decepticon activity."
Re-labeling scouting missions for Decepticons to 'Energon Scouting' permitted them to easily seek out fuel, while also keeping an eye out for the REAL reason Megatron wanted this arrangement. It was so foolhardy, so... nonsensical, that there had to be a new construct being formed somewhere on the planet that was tucked away. They need only find it.
