[Video | Alpha Trion's Temple]

[shutupndrive]

[It wasn't weird for Smokescreen to have Justice.

What was weird, was that the turbofox had shown up at Alpha Trion's temple out of the blue. Usually, Smokescreen went and picked him up from Magnus if he wanted to spend time with the creature.

So, of course, there was a bit of worry on the rookie's face when he came over the feed.]

Has anyone seen Ultra Magnus? Justice showed up in my room and it...

I just wanted to make sure notdad wasn't over working himself again or something.

[He glances down at the turbofox, resting a hand on the creature's head as it rests its head on Smokescreen's knee.]

Really don't want to find him passed out cold again...

[raceme]

I talked to him the day he woke up but now I can't find him and he was supposed to be resting. He wouldn't leave like that. [Blurr has a very bad feeling about this and he doesn't like it.] I can't find First Aid either.

[shutupndrive]

I talked to him and visited him when he woke up too...

[He doesn't take his gaze off Justice, just calmly stroking the turbofox's head.]

...I really hope he's alright..First Aid too.

[raceme]

I should have stayed there with him.

[Blurr mutters, more to himself than for Smokescreen to hear.]

Me too.

[robotfightclub]

Was this the call you were supposed to give me, or are you just done talking to me?

[As far as she knew, Magnus was still out cold.]




...Wait, what did you call him?

[shutupndrive]

[Oh. Scrap.

Smokescreen flinches a bit, focusing on the screen as he shoots Arcee an apologetic look.]

Arcee, I'm sorry I--




Notdad. Why?

[robotfightclub]

[Yeah, she's really not happy about that, but she'll focus on it later.]

"Notdad"? As in...not dad? Should I even ask how an Ultra Magnus is letting you get away with that?

[neverputincharge]

Saw he woke up the other day. Maybe he's just busy?

[shutupndrive]

Maybe...I hope that's all it is.

[neverputincharge]

So do I.

I'll be sure ta keep an eye out for him.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

If I see or hear anything, I'll let you know.

And... Why do you address him as "notdad"? Is this a word used on Earth? Is it more personal or indicative of someone of superiority or higher rank?

[HE TOO IS CONFUSED]

[audio]

[shutupndrive]

Thanks. I appreciate it.



Ah...because Optimus asked him and Perceptor to be my guardians..and OP is like that dad figure in everyone's lives..so they're notdads?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

... I've heard that term before. "Dad". I cannot recall if it is in reference to the male or female guardian, however.

[Vandal would know but alas ;_;]

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Doesn't that guy disappear like, every week or somethin'?

Maybe he's finally dead.

Cross yer servos, everyone!

[video]

[shutupndrive]

[Smokescreen's optics narrow and he focuses on the screen.]

Get slagged.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Oh, did I hurt your li'l Autobot feelings? Oh no!

Can't you Autobots do anythin' without someone needin' t'hold your hand?

audio;

[sciencetank]

He was in my lab a moment ago... Don't tell me he's run off again.

[Audio]

[shutupndrive]

Maybe? I don't know..it's just weird that Justice is here like this.

Audio

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Don't tell me he's up and about already.

The turbofox came and found you...?

Audio

[shutupndrive]

I think so.

And yeah, Justice just showed up which is weird. He's usually attached to Notdad's hip.

[glitteratimedic]

[Turbofox? Ugh. Don't hiss don't hiss don't hiss-]

He's Ultra Magnus. If anyone was to work themselves into a stupor right after escaping the medbay it would be him.

Also what's with the turbofox?

[shutupndrive]

I know, I know it's just--I can't..help but worry considering how things happened last time.

Huh?

[He actually looks up now, staring at the other a bit in surprise.]

Um--he's...Notdad's pet....who are you?

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

...I'll add him to my list of things and people to look out for on my patrols.

[There's an unspoken "again" in that...]

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

Thanks..I appreciate it.

[Video]

[deadlydoctor]

I stick to my theory that Prowl did something. Anyway, who cares? An Autobot less to worry about.

[Locked |UNHACKABLE]

'Notdad'? Cute, Smokescreen, really cute. Did you check the Police Headquarters? Perhaps he went back to work, see seems like that type of workaholic mech.

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

..Cherrybomb, now is really not the time.

[Locked | UNHACKABLE]

Don't start.

I haven't yet, no. I was hoping maybe he'd just respond--he usually does when something comes up on the feed.
