Chapter 21: "Optimus Prime" who began to distrust the Supreme Council

Just as O'Raine Pikes sees Shockwave as a trusted councillor in the Iron Keep, Shockwave also feels that O'Lane Pikes is worth fighting for.

So, in this situation where both parties were interested in getting close to each other, they made an appointment to meet at the old oil mill of McAdan.

The agreement went almost exactly as they had envisioned, and when Shockwave arrived at McAdan's old oil mill, Orion Pikes was already waiting there.

And after seeing the main owner, Orion Pikes stood up from the metal seat and waved his mechanical arm towards the shockwave.

"How's it going? O'Lane. ”

Arriving at Orion Pikes' seat, Shockwave ordered two high-purity energy drinks from the bartender before asking how the young archivist was doing.

As a member of the Supreme Council, Shockwave has learned a lot from it, even if he disdains to get involved in dirty politics.

Right now, for example, Shockwave knew he couldn't be too eager for Orion Pikes to find out what was going on with him.

After all, his current status is a parliamentarian, and if he is too eager, it will cause his friends in front of him to have a strange feeling.

O'Ryan Pikes had to say everything himself, so that he could go along with the conversation.

"I've been fine with my work and life lately, but I have something I want to ask you to testify, Congressman Shockwave."

As Shockwave had anticipated, Orion Pikes took the initiative in the next words and made the first request in the words.

"Verify? Is something going on? ”

Taking the glass of high-purity energy liquid from the bartender, Shockwave placed a glass on the table in front of Orion Pikes' body and asked what had happened.

"It's not about me, Congressman Shockwave, it's about my work."

"You know what I'm doing, processing the substandard information in Cybertron's communications network, and organizing and storing it."

Orion Pikes looked at his reflection in the high-purity energy liquid in the glass, and didn't know if to tell the Shockwave Councillor what he had noticed.

"So, did you find something?"

The voice coming from Shockwave's sounder didn't change in the slightest, and looking at the friend in front of him, Shockwave was sure that the encrypted channel between himself and the Heavenly Enemy had not been exposed.

So, what could it be that caught Orion Pikes' attention on the communications network?

Shockwave gave Orion Pikes the decision to say it or not, believing that since his friend had chosen to find him to reveal it, he would definitely not hide it, and would only hesitate for a moment at most.

"Yes, I've noticed that Cybertron's communication network in the southern hemisphere is becoming more and more active, and there is a significant increase compared to the last cycle, which is very abnormal."

"So, I'm worried about whether it's because of the mass dismissal of miners by the Supreme Council, and, Shockwave, I don't understand why the Supreme Council chose to lay off miners on a large scale."

"Scholars from the Crystal City Dawning Society have calculated that the miners' salaries are only a small percentage, but this still hasn't stopped the council's decision to fire the miners."

After a moment's hesitation, O'Ryan Pikes finally chose to speak out about his findings on the communications network, expressing his incomprehension of the Supreme Council's decision.

Why did the Supreme Council make such a decision to lay off workers on a large scale in the mines, when it is clear that the miners' salaries are not even as high as those of the Iron Fort's guards.

Moreover, the wear and tear caused by the work in the mine will not require the miners to solve the maintenance themselves.

But even so, a large number of miners cherish this hard-won job, and now the Supreme Council has decided to dismiss them in favor of so-called cheaper fully automated mining machines?

What will the miners do in the future, they have caused serious wear and tear on both the surface and the internal modules of the machine in order to open up the mining area, and some of the machine body has even rotted due to the harsh underground environment.

It can be said that for this job, they have given everything except fire, and now after losing their job, they have nothing.

O'Ryon Pikes is confused by what he learns about the communication network, so he finds the Shockwave Councillor, who he thinks is the most impartial, and tells him his thoughts and findings.

"Indeed, in fact, there are other members of the Supreme Council who disagree with this kind of thing as much as I do, that is, the leader of the Crystal City Dawning Society, who resigned from his position not long ago, and for this reason, the Celestial Councillor also resigned from his position."

"At that time, we put together a lot of information and data to try to convince the other members of the Supreme Council, but unfortunately, in the end, it failed, and the other members chose to unite for their interests, and in the end we could not prevent the resolution."

The Shockwave CPU had mixed feelings about the miners' abandonment by the Supreme Council and the loss of their jobs, which on the one hand caused the Supreme Council to abandon its support for the working class, leading to their future uprisings with excellent troops and reliable base camps.

On the other hand, Shockwave didn't expect that the Supreme Council could forcibly kidnap votes for the sake of interests, and even angrily took away the top member of the Crystal City Dawning Society.

Of course, for the other members of the Supreme Council, the departure of the Supreme Council does not matter to them, after all, the seats in the parliament are fixed, and it does not mean that the members are fixed.

And the Transformers who want to become a member of the Supreme Council to fulfill their ambitions can be said to have a lot of them, and even O'Ryan Pikes's girlfriend Aelita is running.

"How can the Supreme Council ......"

O'Ryon Pikes is shocked by the decision of the corrupt members of the Supreme Council, and drives out the top of the council for the sake of profit.

This, the glory they inherited from the Golden Age?

What about the declarations they made before they became members of the Supreme Council, were they all deleted from the CPU?

Looking at Orion Pikes, who showed disbelief in the corruption of the Supreme Council, Shockwave stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Shockwave is now certain that the young archivist will no longer report to the Supreme Council about the overactivity of Cybertron's southern communications network.
