"Did you see that?"

“Yes... Yes, I did.”

Whatever disagreements they had with Barricade could be tabled for now. The situation had just gotten considerably more critical. Out of the corner of their optic, Nyon had seen something-- just a flash of violet light, really-- that caught their attention. Whatever it was, it left a lingering trail in the air, an unmistakable pale blue wisp of ozone.

Whatever it was knew that they had seen it. Wordlessly, the DJD officer turned their back to Barricade-- with the assumption that he would do the same, allowing the two of them to cover each other’s blind spot.

“This area is known for... unusual events. We must be cautious.”

«Prowl here. This is Barricade, right?» Prowl had crossed paths with an officer named Barricade once, before the war, and had no idea what had become of him after that. «Do you want something?»

Barricade frowned, optics narrowing a bit in confusion. That was definitely how the bot had introduced themself when they had first met. However, they didn’t actually work in the same precinct, so perhaps they had decided to go by another designation now.

“My… apologies,” he replied carefully, taking note of the other’s tone. He normally wouldn’t take another officer as a threat, but something felt… strange here. He hadn’t known Engima well, personally, but something about their demeanor felt off all the same.

“I can refer to you by whatever name you like now, but… What do you mean by sigils? If you’re talking about a badge, we both know those are holographic.”

Nothing about this was right. Barricade looked too nice, too clean, and he had never been one to apologize under any circumstances. On the contrary, the Decepticon enforcer had been much like themselves-- enough so that Nyon had considered suggesting them for service in the Division.

Slowly, the officer circled the smaller bot, servos folded behind their back as they scrutinized him. Nyon didn’t know exactly what to expect; while Barricade had never been the most zealous of Decepticons, he did not seem like the type to abandon the cause, and especially not one to wipe the sigils from his chestplate.

One arm unfolded from their back, reaching up to tap upon their own chestplate with a slender digit. The Decepticon emblem was not flashy, but it was there, etched into the green metal of their frame.

“This sigil. Or have you forgotten, Barricade? Amnesia does not explain the fact that someone-- either you, or an accomplice-- has removed your emblems. Bad taste doesn’t begin to cover it; treason, perhaps, is a more apt term.”

"Enigma? What are you doing here?"

The utterance of that name-- as unfamiliar now as it was-- brought the officer to a screeching halt. With deliberate slowness, Nyon’s helm pivoted back to look over their shoulder.

Barricade was not supposed to know that name.

“... That is not my name,” They spoke lowly, dangerously, as they turned around to face the mech completely. “What are you doing here, Barricade? And where are your sigils?”
