Waitstate sits silently as he makes a log of recent events in LONAC.

". . .as for new members, LONAC has gotten a few in the past month. Blacknife, bomb expert who loves causing trouble with Shadowpaw, Autumn Beauty, a former Autobot, and Lightning, a former Decepticon who's a bit irritable but loyal to LONAC. Probably the most interesting new members are those of the self-proclaimed Dark Force. Diamond Fire the newborn, Scamp the egotist, Ruse the prankster, Drill Master the neat freak, and their leader Dark Star, whose character remains a mystery to me. He came from no where, and he as far as anyone or thing can tell, he has no spark."

Waitstate's log was interrupted.

"Yo boss, you wanted me for something?" Cirrus asked.

"Yeah, I need someone to go down to Cybertron and get some info. It seems that the fabled 'Cult of Mordalis' has resurfaced. The Autobots and Decepticons will be all over this, and I don't want us to fall behind.

"Oh, that's no problem, me and Admiral will-" Cirrus was cut off by Waitstate.

"No, this should be a rather simple task. I'd rather send out some of the new recruits, they haven't seen action since they joined LONAC, and I want to see if they are trust worthy."

Waitstate then activated the Comm system. "Drill Master, Lightning, Diamond Fire, I want you two to go with Stardrive, Shadowpaw, and Recoil down to Cybertron. The Cult of Mordalis may have resurfaced and I need you to check it out."

"Oh great, another boring mission" Shadowpaw moaned as she tossed a confetti bomb back to Blacknife.

------------

"So what do we do?" Drill Master asked Stardrive.

"Well, I guess we stop every Cybertronian we see and ask what they know" Stardrive replied.

"Sounds exciting" Drill Master replied.

"We've got to split up, I'll take Lightning" Shadowpaw replied.

Recoil turned to Diamond Fire. "I guess I get stuck with the new born."

"I guess I get stuck with the undersized missile silo" Diamond Fire happily retorted.

The three groups split up and searched for any clues as to the validity of the Cult's reappearance.

------------

After two hours, Shadowpaw radioed in.

"Team 1, we've got nothing here, no one seems to know anything about this Cult."

"It's the same situation here" stated Recoil.

Stardrive replied "keep searching for a few minutes, Drill Master and I are going to check out one final place."

Stardrive and Drill Master continued walking until a rather large Decepticon met them. His body was a meshing of miss matched war vehicle parts, and a large tank turret on his back caused him to hunch over. This Decepticon monster stepped in their way without saying a thing.

"Um...a... we're looking for information about this 'Cult of Mordalis,' you wouldn't happen to know anything about it would you?" a rather nervous Stardrive asked.

"I don't think I do" The Decepticon replied.

"Alright, we'll be out of your way" Stardrive said as he turned and began walking in the other direction.

"That's one way to hide what you know," Drill Master quietly said to Stardrive.

After the Decepticon was out of sight, another Cybertronian approached them.

"Judging by the looks on your faces you met Gozer" he replied.

"If Gozer is a giant hunched over Decepticon freak, then we've met him" Drill Master replied.

"Yep, that's him. Oh, where are my manors? I'm Gravix, renowned bounty hunter" Gravix replied. "Say, if you're looking for the Cult too, maybe you can help me. I know where the Cult is hiding, but another bounty hunter knows too. I don't think we have the same bounty, but just in case you guys could give me the edge I need to best him."

"Sounds okay with me, what do we need to do?" Stardrive asked.

"Just follow me there, it's not very far, and when we arrive I'll instruct you further" Gravix replied.

"We can't trust this stranger" Drill Master told Stardrive.

"Don't worry, if he tries anything we can overpower him" Stardrive assured Drill Master.
