[Talk of zombies and stuff has Smokescreen on edge. Not because the Firstforged aren't telling them things.

No.

Because he's scared he'll see the hits he's lost here. Optimus. Ratchet. Ultra Magnus. There's a part of him that's bitter at the thought of them bein trapped here as ghosts or zombies, to think that there is really no going home.

Another part of him doesn't want to believe any of it. He wants to think like Perceptor and not be skeptical.

Still...]

Anyone want to go ghost hunting and find some answers? Since apparent ghosts are a thing here now.

Power Joe's coming with me and he doesn't seem to be a big fan of you...why'd you call him a toy, Arcee?

[She has to stop and think for a moment.

...Who the hell is Power Joe?



Wait. Oh no, don't tell her--]

The A.I. bot?

[Smokescreen frowns.]

He's as real as anyone else, Arcee. And he wants to come along but if you're coming he was hesitant to agree because he wasn't sure if you were going.

Woah, hey, I never said he wasn't real.

[Toys are real.

...Okay, she'll stop now.]

Look, if we're on a mission, I'm not going to waste my time heckling him.

[Maybe HE should grow up and deal with it. Sometimes you have to work with people you don't like. THAT'S LIFE, PJ. YOU KNOW, THAT THING YOU CLAIM TO HAVE.]

[He's quiet for a moment, just watching her, considering the options. He knows how Arcee can be and sometimes...sometimes others just can't put up with that. And he'd already agreed to let Power Joe come along and if he were to turn around and tell the other that Arcee was coming...]

...Sorry Arcee but...I already told him you weren't coming and I don't want to risk anyone getting into an argument while we're dealing with something like this.

[There's a moment of hurt in those eyes until it's washed away by anger. Oh okay.]

Fine, if you'd rather work with him over your own team, I won't stop you.

That's not what I said, Arcee, don't put words in my mouth.

[He say that hurt and he feels bad, but..well..]

I trust you guys--our team--with my life but he came on board first and I'm not going back on my word.
