SILVERBOLT PLACED ON NIGHTSHEAR'S PERSONAL "HIT LIST"

<Silverbolt was assigned to escort some supplies that were
being delivered by air to the encampment
around Capital City.  While there the Decepticon Nightshear
appears and requests a private audiance
with Prowl.  Reluntantly the other Autobots allow Prowl to
accept.  However, Ultra Magnus sends
Silverbolt to follow at a distance to make certain of
Prowl's safty.  Despite his attempts to conceal his
presence, Silverbot was indeed detected by the Decepticon
during his meeting with Prowl.  And he was
identified upon his departure.  The following picks up the
confrontation Prowl has with Silverbolt when
the two return to Capital City...>

Area Around Capital City
contains: Prowl, Roller

Silverbolt sighs rather quietly. "I haven't really heard of
this Nightshear before
now. But, from the way I see it, as an Autobot I'm
considered on any
Decepticon's 'hit list' whther I like it or not."
Silverbolt gives a quick nod to the small Autobot with them
if only to
acknowledge his presence. He turns back to Prowl.

Prowl quietly comments, "Stay away from him, Silverbolt. As
far away as
possible. He is obsessed with his "hunts" and he will not
give up if he figures
out who you are...".
Prowl's voice cuts off as Prime radio's him. His impassive
expression tightens
as he suddenly remembers what Roller's presence means.

Silverbolt quirks an optic ridge and then responds with,
"I'll keep that in
mind." He doesn't seem particularly bothered however, but he
doesn't make it a
habit of readily showing his personal feelings on a regular
basis.

Roller rolls up to Silverbolt and bumps him

Silverbolt looks down, somewhat startled. He quickly regains
his balance. "Yes?"

Roller just beeps happily at Silverbolt, then sits there
next to him

Silverbolt blinkyblinks at gives the small extention of the
Autobot commander
and offers a small shrug. But a glint of amusement is within
his optics.

Prowl quietly comments, "Silverbolt, this is serious. If
this happens again,
you should not follow me. Nightshear is likely to take that
as a breaking of
any peace agreement we have and would try to kill me because
of it.".

Silverbolt then looks back to Prowl, returning to his
previous mood. "May I ask
*why* and  for *what* reason that Decepticon has an interest
in you?"
Prowl gives a minute shrug of his shoulders. "I do not
know," he replies
blandly.

Roller beeps furiously, as if screaming, "LIAR!!!!"

Prowl levels an impassive look on Roller for a long moment.

Roller beeps profusely at Prowl, as if reciting off a big
long list of reasons
why. Prowl hears them, knows what they are, but Silverbolt
does not understand
the language.

Silverbolt stares at the smaller Autobot in confusion for
the unexpected
outburst.  He narrows his own optics as he returns to Prowl.
"Doubtful. You
yourself just stated he doesn't leave from a 'hunt'. Is that
what this is about...a 'hunt'
of some sort? Otherwise, how would you know?"

Prowl looks up at Silverbolt. "We should get back to Iacon."
Prowl refuses to discuss the subject further, OR to listen
to Roller's
commentary. He transforms with a thought.
Prowl transforms into Police_Car mode.
Prowl speeds off towards Iacon without another word.

Roller beeps and zooms after Prowl

Silverbolt blinks at Prowl and shakes his head...wondering
if that was answer
enough. He looks to Roller...about to offer a ride, but he's
too fast.

<Cut to Iacon>

Iacon -- Central Courtyard

Silverbolt descends as he comes through Iacon's chief
enterance and comes in
for a landing, looking somewhat upset.

Roller suddenly appears from out of the shadows!

Brawn is currently leaning back against the side of the
Independence.....reading his datapad. He looks up at Bolt's
arrival and moves
to wave when he notices his mood, "Uhhh....problem?"

Prowl has arrived.
Prowl comes into the area quietly, then turns to head to the
science building.

Brawn looks over at Prowl....and nods in greeting.
Prowl nods to both of you in passing.

Silverbolt hear's his name called as he looks up after
Transforming. "It's
alright, Brawn," he answers uneasily, obviously convinced
it's not.

Prowl heads west into the Science Building.
Prowl has left.

Brawn's not sure if he should interfere or not..."It ain't
somethin I've done
is it?"

Roller heads west into the Science Building.
Roller has left.

Silverbolt gives Prowl a glance and gives frustrated roll of
the optics. He
regards Brawn for a moment. "No it isn't." He opens his
mouth to ask why he
would think so but excuses himself momentarily to send off a
radio.

+radio op=Optimus, this is Silverbolt. Are you available at
the moment?

Brawn shrugs, "Oh....well whatever..." the mini then turns
back rather intently
to his datapad.

Silverbolt gives a distracted nod to the minibot and simply
awaits an answer
regarding the radio before engaging in anymore conversation.

RADIO: [Optimus Prime] Yes, for a few minutes before I power
down. I am in the
Briefing Room.

+radio op=Understood. I'll be there shortly. Silverbolt out.

Silverbolt mumbles an "excuse me" before he heads towards
the Comand Compound.

<Cut to Briefing room>

Iacon -- Briefing Room <Command Compound>Contents: Optimus
Prime
Obvious exits:

Silverbolt knocks on the door twice if only to announce his
presence before
entering the room.

Optimus Prime nods. "Come in, Silverbolt. What can I do for
you."

Silverbolt enters futher into the room and gives a slight
nod to the commander.
"There was an incident that had just occured I believe you
should be aware of.
While I was helping deliver supplies to the encampment
around Capital City the
Deceptcion Nightshear arrived and requested he speak to
Prowl alone. And Prowl
did so."

Optimus Prime nods a bit. "He informed me of that much. Said
he made a deal to
keep Nightshear away from Capital City. Is this true? Or
only a partial truth?"
Optimus Prime chuckles quietly, though. "I think he only
informed me, though,
because Roller responded to a program I installed in him to
inform me of any
mention of Nightshear or Onslaught."

Silverbolt answers, "Uncertain. I was not within hearing
range. I'm don't know
if I left without being seen. However," he narrows his
optics at this, "when
Prowl confronted me back at the city he mentioned he was
concerned that I would
be added to Nightshear's list of those to be hunted. I
questioned Prowl what
dealings he had with the Decepticon and he refused to
answer...at which point
he simply took off for Iacon."

<Bot-OOC> Prowl kills Bolts. @=)
<Bot-OOC> Silverbolt looks innocent  :)

Silverbolt adds, "Since he seemed rather concerned about
this Decepticon's love of 'the hunt' I can only draw a 
certain hypothisis." He doesn't add more at
the moment since he figures Prime can come to his own
conclusions.

Optimus Prime nods. "Thank you, Silverbolt." He seems to
sigh. "I'll speak with Prowl... He's been keeping his 
distance from me."

Silverbolt nods rather slowly, concern for his commander
showing through his optics. He opens his mouth to 
ask something but decides against it and heads
for the door. "Acknowdged. And...get some rest."

Optimus Prime eyes you with an amused optic. "Yes, Ratchet.
I will."

Silverbolt offers a sligh snort and heads back into the
hallway.
