Location: Shockwave's lab
Content Warnings: N/A Yet
Plot Summary: After having stolen a sparkling of Pharma's, he has finally deemed it suitable to bring her to life. Beware all who enter.

It was now or never. The artificial container he had made was growing too small for the spark growing within it, he knew it was never meant to last. So, he had the tiny seekerling body made, adjusted to his liking, and spark chamber open to place the spark within it. Oh so carefully, Shockwave carried the container in his servo, and set it beside the sparkling frame. He scanned the frame, made just a few minute adjustments, then opened the container. Gently and painstakingly slowly, he moved the spark to it's new frame, watching as it made the connections and the chamber and chassis folded of it's own accord.

Bright red optics opened and looked up at him. "Look within your database and state your name." he commanded oh so softly, his stoic command gentled for the sparkling. "I am.. Aquila." Shockwave nodded and scanned her to make sure everything was functioning properly. "Can you sit up, Aquila." The sparkling paused and oh so shakily sat up. "Yes.. Father?" Then she looked up at him with curious optics. "Where am I?" "The Nemesis." "Where is Nemesis?" Shockwave gave her a long look and brought up a recorder. "Subject AQ-1 shows signs of stunted speech, typical with sparklings. Hopefully after more experimentation, it will become more advanced and useful."

Then he turned, leaving his experiment to look around the lab with a wide opticed stare. "So big.." Shockwave ignored her, typing on his computers and searching through further experiments that may advance the sparkling more so than she already was.

Kaon was making his usual rounds; it had become routine for the Decepticon Justice Division to make sweeps of the Nemesis every now and then to make sure that no Decepticon was up to any wayward behavior.

"Ah, Shockwave, I sense a second energy signature in the room." He crooned. "Seems to be a curious and small frame if my echolocation is correct. I take it the spark was ready for her frame?" He seemed intensely curious and a smirk curled on his face.

His digits tapped his chin curiously. "Hello, small one. I am Kaon."

Shockwave gave Kaon just a brief glance before continuing his work. "I know that you are blind, but I did not think you were ignorant. Yes, the spark was ready." Shockwave gave an exasperated sigh, shaking his helm and going back to working extensively on his plans for Aquila.

Aquila on the other servo, was curious and excited to meet a new bot, her optics wide. "Hello, sir. I am Aquila." Then she paused before she asked the inevitable question. "Sir, why you not have optics? Did someone forget put them?" "Aquila!" She flinched at Shockwave's harsh tone. "Apologize immediately. You do not ask questions such as that." She ducked her helm as Shockwave snapped at her. "I sorry." "Say it properly." "I am sorry, Kaon." Shockwave turned back to his computers. Aquila gave Kaon a small smile.

"You're treading a thin line, Shockwave. Personal, petty vendettas don't get you on the List but they might get you...in the end." His tone had a warning. "I could not feel or see the spark so I've got no way of knowing unless someone tells me. You shielded the spark too well from me."

The femme's words had startled him. "Oh, she's fine. I was merely taken off guard by such a question. But to answer--I removed them myself, for the glory of the Decepticons. I refused to be a spy for mecha who put 'Utility over morality. Purpose over personality. Usefulness over happiness.' As quoted from Megatron's fifth letter from Messatine." He then gave a smirk. "There is always an opportunity to teach the young one about the Cause."
