Sg wheeljack and ratchet capture a deception. Oh what horrors will it suffer?

Normally I'll capture cons for information on their leader and plans. I'm not only a hitman, but I also provide information to the leader of the Autobots. For a price, of course.
First I lead them in. This is the hardest part, but the Decepticons are easily fooled since I have a sneaky little plate I put over my Autobot insignia while luring them in. This usually consists of buying them a few drinks, flirting with them, making em feel like I'm safe to be around. My voice often does the trick on that ;)
Next, I'll offer them some treats and ask them about their life, see what they'll let slip just from telling me about their day to day life. Often they don't consider the fact that I pick up things they don't even realize they're spilling. Quite often that's all I'll have to do.
And those treats? Heh. They are filled with a sedative that preps them to be sent off to the basement as experiments for Ratchet's doings. There, they will be strapped to a medical slab, force fed whatever concoctions he's testing, opened up, organs extracted and replaced (if he's feeling like replacing them), and their old parts sold.
Now. If they are not so cooperative, I have a room I call the fun room because it's fun for me. I suspend them from the ceiling, and ask nicely first. If they won't give up, I'll use any of my fun toys. I've got a shock stick, various instruments to pull apart plating, whips... You name it, I have it. If they won't yield after I've torn their plating from their body and they're still conscious, I might send em to Ratchet to open up their drives and find out what they know. It's a process and that's why I normally don't do it. Plus a little beating never hurt anyone ;)
Sometimes we'll frag em if we're feeling wild, but not always. Just depends on how frisky we're feeling after they've begged us for mercy. I'm in charge of the punishment and torture for the most part, Ratchet does the more scientific side of it.
