[Video] - Bugs bugs bugs, but they glow, so it's like Christmas spirit?

[angleofscience]

[The video comes on to Jetfire frowning thoughtfully at one of his hands, held up and... apparently crawling with pinpoints of moving lights. He shakes it, and there's a veritable cloud of winking lights exploding in all directions.

Some of them fly past the screen close enough to reveal they're tiny, dragonfly-like metal bugs. That glow.]

There was an accident, and the thirty of these that I had contained in my lab and were developing were let out. It seems their replication matrix is working, because they're certainly not thirty any longer.

I apologise if they are a... er, nuisance.

I am rather sure I can hazard a guess from a few cycles of observing that the replication matrix is working correctly though, since while they've become more as a response to the greater space available outside of the lab, I believe they're not replicating completely out of hand.

[He shakes his helm slowly, dislodging a crowd tiny bugs that has landed on his helm and nasal ridge.]

Hopefully they'll... spread outside of Haven soon.

[I bet having Starscream as a boyfriend helps to train your patience.]

You can still do that from a distance. You just need to have good aim. Not your case?

[Ko doesn't know all that yet, though.]

[That, as well as the fact that he already had a giant amount of patience ensured that he had the time to stick around Starscrea.]

My aim is quite good, thank you, but that's not the point of not using long-range weapons as the preferred method.

[Jetfire frowns a bit. It's about knowing, exactly, what you're responsible for and towards whom.]

[Now, Jetfire, imagine Starscream and Knock Out teaming out to test your patience.]

I know it's not. Relax, I was just teasing you a bit.

[Have a dry stare that nonetheless has some shades of amusement.]

I wondered. But I should get to trying to deal with these bugs. At least insofar as emptying my lab of them---

[There's a crash off-screen, far enough away it's obvious Jetfire probably is in another room, or in the corridor outside of the main lab.]

And deal with that, as well.

[Amusement is good!]

[Knock Out raised an eyebrows at the sounds of the crash.] That would be a good idea.

I don't want to keep you busy, I can tell you have plenty of little problems to take care off.

Thank you. I don't need more accidents like the one that led to the bugs being let out, or anything worse than that.

[Jetfire huffs faintly with a shake of his helm, and then disconnects.]
