[Smokescreen was having one of those days again. Or maybe it was better to just say he was having one of those existences. He couldn't find his place in Haven and mostly just seemed to annoy everyone.

And then on top of that, there was still a heavy guilt weighing down on his spark over Optimus' fate.

The approaching Earth holiday that he'd been made aware of did nothing to improve his mood so he'd decided just to stay put in Alpha Trion's temple for awhile and just...hide. Yeah, that was about the gist of it.

Didn't mean he wasn't going to check in on people though.]

Everyone alright? Bulkhead? Arcee? Ratchet? You guys are all safe right?

And Kagerou, did you find Kay? I tried to find her but I couldn't track her down and then I ran into Perceptor and Wheeljack and--...she's alright..right?


Just...wanted to let you guys know I'm going to be sticking close to Alpha Trion's temple for a bit. So you don't need to worry about me or anything. And if you need me that's where I'll be.

[And, chances are good that once everything is replaced and rebuilt... there will be a certain stack of datapads, reserved for a visitor -- all of them geared toward what he knows Smokescreen to be interested in.]

[He just won't say anything about it.]

By all means. I can't leave it this way, certainly.

[And that's what makes Perceptor one of the best dads ever.]

Don't worry, sir, we'll have this place up and running again in no time!

[He gives the other another grin before getting back to work, scooping up some more debris to add to the pile of 'not salvageable', prepared to work as long as possible.

He owes Perceptor that much at least.]

At the rate you're going, I don't doubt that.

[And as Smokescreen bounds off to return to work... the tank briefly rests a hand on his shoulder.]

[Then goes back to his own projects.]
