Virus; Engaged
Onyx Digsite, The Arctic
The Autobots and human soldiers had been called in by Marissa, hearing about how there was a bot that had escaped the Axalon, Centurion’s Vessel, attacking Centurion before the pair of them had went and attacked the humans, it made the bots cautious as they had approached the site, “Any idea what it is?” Arcee had asked over the comms as The Crash Suits followed.
“No, all we got from those was escaped was that it was a criminal named Windrazor.” Spike told them as he and his men kept their eyes sharp, looking when there was a howl, “Wolves?” one of them asked, “I was not aware that Wolves were solitary creatures here in the Arctic.” Optimus had said, “That’s cause they aren’t.” Spike said when they saw it flying down.
A winged wolf that was made of metal swooping down to attack them, snarling with fury, “For The Uncreator!” Windrazor had snarled towards them, going to bite at one of the Crash Suits, sinking his fangs in as the human inside screamed, “My systems are going haywire!” he said had they fired, Windrazor leaping away, “Sparkless.” the creature had said before seeing Optimus.
“Creation Matrix!” it had snarled before attacking him, making the Prime grab the creature, keeping the jaws away from him and the others had went to fire upon the Beast –Type when they had been fired upon, the others had started to move and avoid the barrage when they had seen that there was Centurion at a ridge, “Fall!” Centurion had shouted towards them with Amber Optics blazing.
They had started to try and avoid the destruction that was coming their way when they had seen that he had dropped the gattler and had explosives now, “Take cover!” Spike had shouted out towards them as they had started to move, “Head towards The Axalon!” Optimus had shouted out towards them as he knocked it off, hearing that, they had started to move towards the vessel, all of them falling in as an explosive set it off.

The Axalon, The Arctic
The Autobots and the humans had landed in the vessel, all of them turning on their lights as they had looked around, “So this is The Axalon?” Spike had asked, looking around at it, “Correct, an ancient Maximal vessel that had crashed here.” Optimus had said as they had continued to walk through, “Any idea why Centurion was attacking us?” Arcee had asked them.
“It most likely has to do with the creature, this, Windrazor.” Optimus had told them, “Prisoner 137; Windrazor.” A computer had said, “Allegiance; Unicron. A Dual–Spark Hybrid created by The First Herald and Shockaract.” The Computer said, showing the image of the bot in question, “Warning, infectious.” The computer said, “Infectious?” Spike had asked, “Like a zombie?” he had asked.
“Zombie, unknown.” The Computer said, “Subject is equipped with Venom TR–3, only known cure is detoxification via Complete Energon transfer.” The Computer had said, hearing that, Arcee had spoken up, “Okay, so what’s Centurion’s Spark Type?” she had asked and hearing that, one of the humans spoke, “Wait, so that big bot in our core, he has minions?” she had asked.
Hearing that, Optimus had nodded, “There have been many who wished to follow under The Banner of The Uncreator, chiefest among them have become The Heralds of their master.” Optimus had said and hearing that, Spike nodded, “Like Satanists?” he said at that while Ratchet spoke up, “See if you can access the Medical records so that we can see if we have his Spark–Type available.” Ratchet said.
Bumblebee had went to go and do as much, as he had done so, looking through the possible bots that they can before finding Centurion, “Here he is,” Arcee had said and looking it over, they had nodded, “Isomeric–Negative.” She said, “That’s yours, right Ratchet?” The Darklander had asked, “That’s correct, what about Windrazor?” The CMO had asked of the bots.
They had went and looked over the prisoner manifest, most of them being sent to The Nemesis Titan except for Windrazor, “Vitreous–Negative.” Arcee had said, none of them were– “What is that?” Spike asked as they saw an image of The Matrix of Leadership, curious, they had selected the image, revealing a holo of Onyx Prime there, “I was amazed at the knowledge they had.” The Prime said.
“Both The Maximal and The Predacon told me that the lost Creation Matrix had the power to purify this Herald of Unicron.” He had said, and that had surprised them, “The Creation Matrix?” Optimus had said and none of them had an answer to this as he had looked down, “Wait, what’s a Predacon?” Spike said, “Something thought extinct, such as a Maximal.” Optimus had said towards them.
Hearing that, Spike wasn’t so sure at that, after all, Centurion was alive, “So all we’d need to do is give them a blast of The Matrix, like with Unicron?” Arcee had said, “There’s no telling if this is true!” Ratchet said, “All we have to go on is the statement of Onyx Prime from a Predacon and a Maximal.” Ratchet had said, “We will attempt to capture Centurion first.” The Prime said.
They had nodded at that, “Great, so how do we get out?” Spike had asked of them, hearing that, they had looked around at that, the soldiers approaching one of the doorways and opening it to reveal a Bat like corpse falling out, making him back away in panic at that, “Yaah! Get it off!” he had said trying to get it off as they had seen that there were more there, all prepared for a funeral.
“This must be where Centurion had buried all of the fallen.” Ratchet had said, observing their visuals when they had started to hear crashing and roars, “We must contain the Herald and Centurion.” Optimus said, “Alright boys, be careful, make sure The Autobots aren’t bit or we’re gonna have more enemies on our hands.” he had said as they had gotten ready to head up and deal with them.
As they had headed into the tomb to look for another exit when they had seen Garrison Blackrock there with a broken leg as well as Su Yueming and others that were there from the mining team, “Blackrock?” Spike had asked of him, confused at that, “Good to see you,” Blackrock had said to them, “Because we have a big problem right now.” he had said to them, making them wonder how this could get worse.

Onyx Digsite, The Arctic
Centurion was attempting to dig into the facility while Windrazor was sniffing around, searching for the target, he had known it was here, it was why their master had sent him, a planet that was called Gaia by his fellow Herald, he knew that it was nearby, but he was unable to pinpoint it, the organics here were too much, it was annoying as he had heard something, making the beast–type look upwards.
It was a wing of Decepticons, making him snarl in interest, “Centurion!” he had said to the other and hearing that, The Maximal, got up and pulled out his gattler, “Clip, we need as many alive as possible to convert.” he had said, “Gladly.” Centurion had said and so started to fire upon them, attacking the Seekers, making sure not to shoot to kill as he had done so, meanwhile Windrazor flew upwards.
He had attacked the lead Decepticon, biting into their cockpit and making sure he had infected them before going and attacking the next one, the newly made Vorticons had joined in, attacking their wounded comrades as well, their numbers now at eleven and with that, they had looked at each other before Windrazor had given his orders, “Our master has been defeated by The Thirteen!” He had told them.
At that, one of the newly converted had spoken, “His Spark Chamber is here, and it has been put into stasis by Optimus Prime and Megatron.” The Seeker had said to them, hearing that, Windrazor snarled as he had extracted a vial from his chassis, revealing a Golden Green Energon inside, “This is an artifact of The Uncreator, they will attempt to destroy this.” he had said towards them.
“We must protect this, for The Uncreator–” “And our master.” Centurion had said, the programming in his processor already telling them of their new master, “Lord Tyrannicus will desire it.” another had said as the Ten of them looked at The Herald, making him snarl at that, “Tyrannnicus is NOT here, Unicron takes priority.” Windrazor had snarled towards them, making them glare at each other.
That was the problem with The Vorticon Venom, it doesn’t change allegiance, only their perception, meaning bots like them that are loyal to a mortal master would serve a bot like Tyrannicus while a religious bot such as Windrazor would fall under The Sway of Unicron, selfish bots obviously staying under their own banner, it was why Windrazor preferred his fellow Heralds.
They had glared at each other but in compliance, they had obeyed, “There is more of this on Earth, hidden within The Dark Energon of Unicron, we will find it and we will use it to reawaken our one true master.” Windrazor had snarled, making the bots nod, “How will we find it?” one of the Seekers had asked of Windrazor, “You will take this, and search, if there is a glow amongst the Dark Energon, that is it.” he instructed.
Hearing that, The Seekers had taken the vial before they had turned and transformed, flying upwards and away from them, following the light of the pure Cybertronian Energy, meanwhile, Centurion and Windrazor had went back to digging into The Axalon, looking for the way in when there was a explosion, making them turn and see The Autobots leaving, “More meat for the grinder.” Windrazor said with a smile.
It was the collapsed tunnel that Centurion had used to bury The Axalon as well as their fellow warriors, “Autobots! Humans! Attack!” Optimus said as they had opened fire upon them, the two of them transforming and charging towards the Autobots, giving the Seekers a chance to collect the energy and thus, implant it into the core to awaken their master once more.

The Nemesis
Soundwave was walking through the hall, and as she had checked the latest combinations of the decryption when she had noticed that the wing sent to The Arctic had returned with something, in response to this, Soundwave headed there with Hardshell close behind, “<Report.>Starscream” She had ordered, arriving at the bay where the bots were arriving, but something was off.
Their optics weren’t red but instead amber, making her on guard, “What’s with the optic change?” Laserbeak asked when both Titans screamed, “ELIMINATE THEM!|Terminate the Traitors!” Trypticon and Vigilem had both told her, confusing Soundwave at that when one of them had attacked and but her in the shoulder plate, “Soundwave!” Dreadwing shouted, firing upon them.
The Seekers had returned fire, backing away as they did as much, but the deed was done, “You are V_______! You will serve! All who do not wear the mark are your enemies!” it seemed to say in her mind while Hardshell attacked, taking the helm of one of the bots there, giving the battlecry as the Seekers had escaped, “Soundwave! Are you–?” Surprise. Caution. Came from Dreadwing.
“<What is it?!>Starscream” She had asked as the voice continued, “You are V_______! Fight your enemy! You march underneath our banner!” The new voice said, “Soundwave–?” Laserbeak asked as The CCO Checked her reflection and saw her Face Screen glitching between its usual color and Amber, which was when she saw Dreadwing was aiming his weapon at her.
“All crew, there is a contagion onboard, beware any with Amber optics, do not let them bit you, Soundwave has already been infected.” he had told them, hearing that, Soundwave stood up, “Do not attempt anything, Soundwave.” Dreadwing said as Laserbeak had disconnected, buzzing around before he had moved, “I’ll trace the infected, fight it while I’m gone.” He told her.
“YOU FOOL!” Trypticon said to her, “HOW COULD YOU ALLOW THE FALLEN KNIGHTS PLAGUE TO INFECT YOU?!” He had said, confusing her, Fallen Knight? Plague? If it weren’t for the migraine the message was giving her, she’d ask him, “You, Insecticon,” Dreadwing said, “Bring the helm, we will escort Soundwave to Knock Out to be treated.” he ordered before the three of them went to do as much.
______________________________________________________________________
Medical Bay, The Nemesis
They had arrived at the Medical Bay where Knock Out was, appearing groggy from her and Barricade’s work, “Ah, the patient’s here.” he said, “Good, maybe I can make this hurt for him, the smug afthole.” Knock Out said, making her glad, “See what is infecting him.” Dreadwing ordered, Hardshell dropping the helm in front of the medic before going to guard the door.
Knock Out had went to do as much, looking over the helm’s CNA before he had approached Soundwave and stuck a syringe into her neck, taking both samples, he had went to see what it was, “Huh, that’s odd,” Knock Out said, confusing the two there, “What?” Dreadwing asked for them both, “Whatever was in this bot and IS in Soundwave appears similar to an Earth fungus.” he had told them.
“<Explain.>Megatron” She had said to him, “It appears that this… Venom, is working to alter the mind of the infected, making them compliant with anyone else infected and hostile towards those that aren’t.” he said before seeing the CNA Changing, “It also seems to be strengthening their bodies, making them stronger and more durable,” he had told the pair.
“Give them an Astrocycle and those Seekers will be stronger than an Insecticon.” he had told them, hearing that, Dreadwing had looked towards Soundwave in caution, “But here’s something off.” Knock Out said, “The Venom appears to be changing Soundwave slower than his antibodies can counteract it.” Knock Out said, “Meaning…?” Dreadwing had asked of Knock Out.
“Meaning that Soundwave here will take longer to be changed, but he’ll only be one of them for a short while.” Knock Out had told him, “However, it looks like we can stop it now and the others if we replace their energon with compatible donors.” he had told them, hearing that, Dreadwing nodded, “Good, let us begin with Soundwave, what is his Spark–Type?” he had asked of the bot.
Knock Out checked, it and of the six Spark–Types, Ferrum-Positive, Ferrum-Negative, Isomeric-Positive, Isomeric-Negative, Vitreous-Positive and Vitreous-Negative, it was… Ferrum–Negative, “Scrap.” Knock Out said as he had searched through the database, Ferrum–Negative was rare, and most bots that had it, Bludgeon, Vortex and Skywarp were either dead or too far away.
“So we must contain Soundwave for now.” Dreadwing said, looking to Soundwave who look back to them, “For The Fallen Knight.” She text scrawled to them, making Dreadwing back away, “Knock Out.” Dreadwing said, making him turn and see Soundwave approaching, “I did say slower,” he said, “I just had no idea the normal infection was near instant.” he said before hiding behind Dreadwing.
______________________________________________________________________
The Nemesis
Megatron was angered by the Decpeticons infected on his ship, whatever contagion this was, it was dangerous, and with Soundwave infected as well, this could only bode ill for them as he had seen one of the infected carrying something, he had raised his cannon to fire when the infected had spoken, “Do not fire!” The Seeker had said, “If you breach the container, anything could happen!” he had said to them.
Glaring at that, Megatron had ignored him, “And why should I believe your word?” he had asked before firing upon the bot, hitting the capsule, it had went and exploded, covering the Seeker in the energy, mutating and changing the bot, making him scream in pain before turning blue and bronze, “Grahh!” The bot shouted out, glaring towards Megatron.
“You fool!” The bot snarled, transforming to charge towards him only to change into a crab, “What have you done to me?!” The bot had snarled as Megatron went to fire, seeing this, the newly made Beat–Type transformed and ran when a bridge was opened, allowing him to escape and making Megatron glare, “Soundwave! Who authorized that bridge?!” he ordered over the comms.
“Uh, my Lord, Soundwave is currently one of the infected,” Knock Out said, “And unless you know anybody with a Ferrum–Negative Spark–Type, he’s going to stay infected for a while.” The bot said, as Megatron heard blaster fire, “Then it is a good thing we have Ferrum–Negative on this vessel.” he said before going to get his only competent Decepticon on this vessel back.

Onyx Digsite, The Arctic
The Autobots were keeping their distance and firing on the duo while The Crash Suits charged, going to restrain Centurion while Windrazor had flown upwards and was breathing fire towards them, leaving ruts of melted ice as they had tried to shoot the beast down from the sky, when it had paused, “No…” the creature said, turning towards a Space–Bridge, a Bronze and Blue bot appearing from it.
“No!” The Beast–Type shouted, charging towards the bot, “Why are you here, Shockaract?!” he had snarled towards the bot, “Shockaract?” he had asked before shaking his helm, “Megatron destroyed the capsule! I was changed from the explosion and one of the infected had released me from the vessel!” he had told WIdnrazor before going to fire upon the Humans and Autobots.
“Then this planet is lost!” he had snarled before looking towards Centurion, “Finish them off! We shall find the Fallen Knight!” He had snarled, Centurion glared, “You will not–!” he had started before the two bots had went and left, the newly dubbed Shockaract had went and got onto WIndrazor’s back before he had flown upwards and towards the stars, angering The Maximal.
He had dropped the Gattler before pulling out a grenade launcher and a quad–barreled shotgun to fire upon them in anger, attacking them and tearing apart the armor that was protecting the humans when Centurion had heard a honk, making the Maximal look and see The Optimus Prime had went and rammed into the Maximal, knocking him backwards and onto the ground.
At that, Optimus had transformed and landed on top of him, “Matrix of Leadership! Purify him!” he had said to the object, but nothing happened, “Nothing happened!” Spike said at that before Bumblebee buzzed, making Optimus realize he had the wrong phrasing, “Creation Matrix, remove The Fallen Knights influence!” he had said and that had powered up the object in his chassis.
A bright light had flowed outwards and seemed to burn Centurion, making him pause and wraith in pain as some sort of Amber phantom had been removed from the Maximal, the creature screaming until it had vanished, making the beam form the matrix cease and Centurion stopping his movements now, seeming out of it now, “Is he…?” Arcee had asked in caution.
Optimus had pressed a digit to his neck, “Centurion lives.” Optimus said, helping to pick him up, “We will take him to our base and see if the influence had been removed like Onyx had said.” he had said and hearing that, the humans had nodded before going to help out the captured humans that were there, “Where do you think the two of them went?” Spike asked Arcee, “Best guess, the source of whatever this was.”
Spike had nodded at that as they had went to go and help out the humans that were there, wondering what a Fallen Knight was and why they had something such as this Venom, it was something that they needed to report and prepare for now as his units had all went to go and do as much for the humans there while Blackrock was more worried about if they would be coming back.
______________________________________________________________________
Decepticon Space Bridge, Exosphere
Windrazor and Shockaract had both headed towards the Space–Bridge, if they were lucky, than their comrade would be opening up the gateway for them so that they would be able to escape and the bots were happy to see that the bridge was opening up and at that, they had started to fly towards the the open bridge, “Where are we going?” Shockaract had questioned, unsure where they were going.
“We are heading towards the lost satellite, the home of the rebel god, The Grand Architect.” Windrazor had said and hearing that, Shockaract was curious on how The God Mortilus existed, it was incredible and insane that the legends were true as they had went and flown through to meet the God and prepare to explain how they had lost such a valuable relic.
______________________________________________________________________
Luna–1, Plait Expanse
The two of them had landed on the legendary moon, they had looked around when there was a voice, “Hey there,” a simple blue and cyan bot said, “You must be either Heralds or Vorties.” he had said, the two large Beast–Types were surprised by such a small bot, he was almost as small as a Mini–Con, “Who are you?” Windrazor said, “Oh, I’m Remod–13, and you must be Windrazor and…?” he said.
“Shockaract.” The newly made bot had said, looking around in wonder, “What is this? Where is Mortilus?” Shockaract said, “Why would the Death God be here?” Remod had asked him, “Because he is the Rogue God?” he said, making Remod give a confused look before going and laughing towards that, “You think MORTILUS is The Rogue God?” he asked them, surprising the bot.
Hearing that, the two had looked at each other before Windrazor spoke up, “There is much we need to talk about.” he had said, disappointed in himself as Remod–13 had went and motioned for them to move, curious to hear their tale as the two bots had walked through the equivalent of Cybertronian Atlantis, all the while unaware that the master of Luna–1 was watching them.
______________________________________________________________________
Medical Bay, The Nemesis
“WAKE UP YOU FOOL!” The Titan said in her mind, making her snap awake, looking around and seeing that she and a group of Seekers had been restrained, “<What’s going on?>Megatron” She had questioned and hearing that, Knock Out had approached, flashing a light on her screen, grateful that her Face Screen was magnetized onto her helm, “No more Amber, good.” he said.
She had cocked her helm in irritation at that before noticed that she had a fuel line connected to her Spark Chamber, she had followed it before seeing that her Energon had been replaced by– “Good, it seems that you are still functioning.” Megatron said, looking towards the fuel line that was connected to his chassis as there were others there as well.
“This Venom is pretty interesting.” Knock Out said to them, “I have no idea how something like this could evolve or even be concocted.” Knock Out said towards them, “I’ll have to send this to The BWP to even IMAGINE how this would be developed.” he had said to them, “And why was it that Soundwave wasn’t affected like the others?” The Decepticon leader asked, getting up now.
“I have a theory.” Laserbeak said as he had went and took control of her face screen, showing Soundwave’s file from The JAAT, “Ah, yes,” Megatorn had said towards the bots, “It would appear that the Venom is not powerful enough to overtake an Outliers biology.” Megatron had said and hearing that, Soundwave had groaned as she had went and gotten up and cracked her neck.
“Soundwave, return to your quarters, you and the others that were infected are on leave.” he had ordered, hearing that, she had went to speak up, when seeing that there was no room in his mind or in his optics, Soundwave had nodded, going and walking away from the Medical Bay, “EXCELLENT! NOW RETURN TO COMPLETING PROJECT IACON AND–!”“Negative, Megatron ordered rest.”
Hearing that, The Titan had gotten angry, “YOU WILL COMPLETE PROJECT IACON!” Trypticon said, “The Titan Master is useless if she is exhausted for our plans.” Vigilem said, making her pause, “You mean HIS plan?” She had asked of The voice as Laserbeak and her grew cautious, heading into their quarters, “FINE, SOUNDWAVE WILL BE ALLOWED TO REST.” The Titan said.
That had made her cautious, somewhat glad at that as she had went and headed towards her berth, Soundwave disengaging and going towards his perch while she had went and lied down, taking a vent as she had started to hear a beat like something from one of the Old Sagas had started to play out in her helm, making Soundwave cautious before she had started to fade into the black.
______________________________________________________________________
Soundwave’s Quarters, The Nemesis
“GET UP.” Trypticon had said, glaring towards the body inside his own, watching as it had went and stood up, looking towards the terminal, “COMPLETE THE TASK.” Trypticon had ordered and hearing that, the bot had went to the terminal and started to type away, satisfying the Titan at that as both Titans had watched, glad at the sight and knowing that this was useful.
Soundwave was efficient, but what was working right now, it was useful and making the two Titans glad at the moment that the bots mind had cracks like this as they had continued to type away before seeing that they were getting closer, playing Acid Rock to pass the time, the psychedelic punk rock blaring out in the soundproof room as they had continued to work away.
______________________________________________________________________
Autobot Outpost Omega–One, Nevada
Centurion had woken up, groaning at that, he had looked around before seeing that he was getting a checkup from Ratchet, “What had happened?” Centurion had asked of them, hearing that, Optimus spoke, “You appear to have been corrupted by the creature inside of The Axalon, The one called–” “Windrazor.” Centurion had said and hearing that, Arcee spoke, “Who was that?” she asked.
“We’re not sure, he had crashed onto The Axalon, saying something about a Transwarp Engine going off,” Centurion said “He had tried to corrupt us, but we were able to restrain and lock him up, we were able to get that info off of him, but he kept trying to escape, searching for The ‘First Herald’.” Centurion had said, “Whp?” Bulkhead who was still weak but conscious now had asked.
“Some mysterious bot that appears in the unknown, there have been records of him since The God War but none know the name of the bot.” Centurion had told them and shook his head, “All anyone knows is that it’s ‘He who turns to the side’.” Centurion had said, “That Herald of Unicron… I lost good friends when we had captured him.” Centurion had told them, angry at the memory.
Hearing that, Ratchet scoffed, “Please! The Heralds of Unicron were a myth! A fantasy that Thunderwing had created.” Ratchet had told them, “Really Ratchet?” Arcee had asked, “We’re on The ACTUAL Uncreator, and you don’t think the Heralds exist?” she had asked as Fowler spoke for him, Spike and the others that were there, “Are you telling me that Ubercon has minions?” Fowler asked.
“Yeah, they’re worshippers of Unicron, some of them were made by Unicron like Windrazor, others though, like Thunderwing had did it artificially and willingly.” Optimus had said, “So why didn’t any of them pop up when Unicron was waking up?” he had asked of them, hearing that, Optimus spoke, “It is because they have been hiding in the far reaches of space in the shadows serving their master.”
“It is likely that they are in stasis like Windrazor was, or that they were too far away to join their master at his side.” Optimus had told them, “So then, do we have to worry about more like him popping up?” Spike had asked, “Sadly, I do not know.” Optimus had said, and at that moment, the Autobots were both worried about what actions they would be taking.
______________________________________________________________________
Escape Pod, Earth’s Exosphere
He had groaned, waking up from the stasis that he was under, looking around when he realized that the pod that he was inside was still moving, and it was going to crash, reacting, the bot had went to go and stop the crash, the warnings going off, frag, he wished that he had some Decepticon Codes right now as he had attempted to divert the crash course and move when he saw something.
It was a code, and Autobot Code, seeing that, he had grinned before deciding to go with it, only making sure that it would stay away from any sort of Decepticon signals right about now as he had hoped that it was at least not a trap as he had headed closer to the planet, “Come on! Come on!” The bot had said, working at the controls in anger when they had started to move.
Seeing that, he had grinned, “Yes!” The bot had said, raising his fist into the air in appreciation before seeing that they were heading towards one of the landmasses, seeing this, he had grinned, “Woohoo! Let’s go!” Smokescreen of The Elite Guard had said to himself as he had really hoped that there was a legend there, like Mags or one of The Wreckers would be pretty cool.
______________________________________________________________________
MECH Site, Unknown Location
“Do you have the required data?” the surgeon had said towards the team from Namibia, “We had a few troubles, but the Cybernetics schematics are all there.” the team leader had said, offering the flash drive towards The Surgeon, “Thank you, with this, we will be able to complete C.Y.L.A.S.” The Surgeon had said, going to download the data that was there.
The data was going through and they saw as the information that was needed had allowed for the meshing of Humanity and machinery, they were bonding now and it was beautiful, “Now then, let us bring our leader back online.” The Surgeon had told them and hearing that, the members of MECH had wondered what would become once this project was completed.
