[Drift's been running a perimeter of the Badlands for a few days now, on the lookout for Megatron's mysterious attacker, as he'd promised. It's been...good, getting away, and just lapping miles under his wheels, in that almost zen-like focus of driving. And it's given him an idea.]

You know what this place needs? [He is excited so he will just rush to the answer.]

It needs a good race track. Not one of those just...oval things, but a fun one, with sharp turns and slopes and different surfaces. Like rallycross, on Earth.

Anyone want to help?

((OOC: X-23, if you want to run into Drift, feel free to action up this post!))

We stay in the temples of the First Forged. I-if we trust them. [Which he's on the fence about with Vector at times.]

We also have the Hub, which is just us, refugees. It's as close to neutral territory as we have. We have some human food there.

[Doesn't that sound enticing. Human food!]

[The mention of the temples brings forward her memories of the fortress where she woke, not that she understands the title of 'First Forged'. She would rather avoid returning to that place if that is indeed one of the temples. The Hub however is an open alternative, and she needs food more that Drift might understand. It feels like her stomach is trying to digest itself.]

What do you want in exchange for a ration of food?

[sword_redemption]

Exchange? [A blink.]

Just, I guess, that you help someone when they need it in the future. [That sounds like something Wing would approve of.]

[deadlydoctor]

Medical thing? I'm a medic, care to explain?

[sword_redemption]

I, uh, was a patient. I had the Red Rust when I got here.

....I got better.

It would be. I haven't had one since Earth. And even then it was sort of...just me.

[She hesitates at that. The requested exchange is odd... Nothing was ever given to her, and the vague proposal to help someone when they need it is unsettling. It could mean so much. Perhaps though, that lack of definition could be argued in her favor if she ever found herself faced with a distasteful demand to fill the bargain...assuming arguments would be heard.]

[Glancing downwards in thought for but a brief moment, she takes in a deeper breath as she straightens herself a little taller before looking back up to the bot on the ridge.]

...okay.

How long since you were on Earth? I'd have to say, for me... it was long since before I got my speedboat alt.

[deadlydoctor]

You got better.

From the red rust.

One does not simply get better from the rest rust.

[sword_redemption]

Pharma, uh, made a cure.

[Pharma, he now knows, also started the infestation. But he's not sure how public that knowledge is.]

The cure was pretty painful...?

[deadlydoctor]

I'm not familiar with him. An Autobot, I take it?

What was it about?

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

It's been a while.

[....speedboat alt?]

Have you, uh, been out on the lake here yet?

[Because if they aren't cars, ladies are boats!]

Before Solus Prime supplied me with my new altmode, I was, yes. [She smiles, the glow from her optics softening slightly.] Can't really compare how it feels to race on... or through, I suppose, a liquid medium to doing it on the ground, but it just wasn't practical to keep a boat alt when on a Cybertron with even less seas than we otherwise have.

Sorry I missed this reply >_<

[raceme]

I always think on the possible bad outcomes, it's an habit.

That's probably for the best. [It does!]

[He relaxes his shoulders, releasing tension.]

I can take you there, or I can lead and you can follow.
