Beachcomber and Windcharger watch Powerglide dash off, then they reenter the storage room. Windcharger points to the other passageway. "It might lead us around the outside of the fortress," he whispers. "Then we could gather information without being seen."

Beachcomber nods. "Let's go," he says.

The Autobots starts down the passageway. They haven't gone far when it ends abruptly in a heavy stone doorway. Yellow light shines from the crack beneath it. From somewhere comes the sound of voices--Decepticon voices. But the voices are very faint. Is the enemy on the other side of the door or are they farther away?

"Let's go in," says Windcharger, reaching for the door.

Beachcomber holds back. "No way! We could walk right into a nest of Decepticons. We'd never get out alive."

"We're armed," Windcharger points out, "and they wouldn't be expecting us. We'd have the advantage."

"Going in is suicide," says Beachcomber.

The Autobots are never going to resolve this argument. You better help them.
