I get my own thread 'cause I'm totally patrolling, I swear teehee

Inferno saluted, oversized weapon tapping against his forehead.
"Consider it done, my Queen."

His own Royalty or not, it wasn't of importance. As he had stated before, he shall wait for a time to have his own conversation with this grey Queen. Surely, he thought, she must know where his own is being held.

He turned on his heels, damaged tail knocking him off balance slightly, and headed to the doors. Inferno failed his own Royalty already, he will not fail again.

Scalpel approached the location on foot, skittering rapidly over the metallic substrate. He saw the Bot outside the doors; he was not as massive as many Decepticons Scalpel knew, but still much larger than Scalpel himself. His exostructure was most intriguing; the closest comparison Scalpel could draw was to that femme who had sometimes served Megatron over the last thousand stellar cycles. She, unfortunately, had been disinclined to allow Scalpel to examine her when he had encountered the crew of the Nemesis over the course of their Leader's quest.

The bot did not have any visible Decepticon brand Scalpel could see, but neither did he have an Autobot sigil.

Scalpel trilled to draw attention and then spoke authoritatively, as when making a lecture, "You zere, activate ze door controls." Back in New Kaon, Scalpel had wireless command over the doors and devices of his operating theatre, but it did not seem to be true here, as he had learned in the Mass Transit System.

A voice broke into Inferno's concentration; or at least, whatever concentration he seemed to have pacing back and forth in front of the metal doors. He squinted and looked around, unable to find any mech to attach the odd voice to.

But... still, his systems were detecting life nearby. An invisible intruder? Inferno's newest weapon was cocked instantly, waving around into the night air. "Show yourself, intruder!" He barked out, stepping forward in case he was just missing the mech. "State your business now or else you will burn before reaching the Queen!"

Inferno stepped a few more paces forward, completely passing the small doctor. Surely the mech had fled by now. After all, who would dare challenge the Royalty's most loyal? He spun on his heels, prepared to march back to base when he saw him. Those tiny, beady red optics, long spindly legs...

"Arachnid! So you are the intruder." Inferno hissed, practically mowing the tiny mech over as he ran to protect the doors. "State your purpose, arachnid. Are you a friend of the colony?"

Scalpel waited. If he was not truly patient, then he was jaded by the treatment. It was of course not the first time his stature had caused one with a dim processor to fail to notice his position. Often, he used this to his advantage

Inferno's jaw bolts slacked and tightened as he tried to follow what the small mech was saying. Most of it rolled off him like water, but still...

...summoned here by Megatron.

He saluted immediately, ripping open the door and stepping to the side.
"Friend of the Colony, welcome!" Mustn't forget manners for one of the Queen's humbled guests. "Move quickly, the Royalty shall not wait." Inferno continued to hold the door, ducking inside only briefly to announce the insect-drone's presence. Once he was satisfied that at least one other mech heard him, it was back outside again to keep up patrol.

Duties, duties.

Scalpel moved past Inferno at a rapid skitter, to enter through the doors. He did not quite understand what or whom 'the Royalty' was, though he surmised this again was related to behaviors of social insects and perhaps indicated their Leader.
