Uh, first off I want to apologize for... losing... my communicator. It was careless of me and I definitely won't be doing it again.

[He messed up big time there, and he knows it. Still... hopefully no harm done? Maybe?]

Okay, so I was thinking. How many of you have ever been on a camping trip? I'd really like to do one of those sometime and I think it'll be a lot of fun! For those who don't know, a camping trip is when you just go out in the middle of nowhere and enjoy the outdoors. We can make a fire... somehow, and tell stories. Maybe do a little rock climbing.

Anyone interested? I think this'll be a great chance to get to know each other.

That sounds like the perfect way to get yourself killed.

[toguidethem]

It's camping. The point is to enjoy the outdoors.

A little exercise never hurt either.

[dinnerdate]

Until you die horribly.

[toguidethem]

Well, that can apply to any situation.

You should always be careful and take proper precautions, but thinking that you're going to die is very... defeatist.

[namesnotprowl]

Camping, you say? I could use a little break from work...

[He's trying to play coy but you had him at 'rock climbing'.]

[toguidethem]

I'd definitely like to have you there Barricade.

Have you ever been camping before?

[namesnotprowl]

Then I'll be there.

I have, here. Though I'm used to... roughing it, as it were.

[toguidethem]

So you've been in the wild often?

[dirge]

Is there food on camping trips...?

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Usually, but mostly you go on them for fun and to enjoy some time with other people. My dad used to take me camping during the summer.

You can also find some really interesting things.

[dirge]

Then I want to come.

[Dad...? Is that what templates were supposed to do? Take their clones on camping trips? Starscream certainly has never done that.]

What kinds of things?

[Video]

[toguidethem]

On Earth there was always interesting rocks or plants around that we liked to look at. Watching animals was always fun too, since Griffin Rock had a lots of wildlife.

I'm not sure what we'll find here on Cybertron, but that'll be part of the fun.

I'm sure it would be fun! It sounds a lot like the kind of the trips I used to take for work back home.

Ah, but - we hadn't talked before, right? My name is Skyfire.

[Video]

[toguidethem]

It's nice to meet you Skyfire. My name is Cody Burns.

What sort of work did you do? If you don't mind me asking.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

I was a scientist. Off-planet explorer, really. I used to travel quite a lot.

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Noble! I bet that means that you've seen a lot of places!

Maybe you can tell a few stories during our trip.

[Because he's really interested in hearing them. Anyone who explores the stars is fine by him.]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Well there was the rite of passage all of us krogan go through.

Aside from fighting the thresher maw, it was pretty much the same.

[Video]

[toguidethem]

You go camping?

[That doesn't seem so bad.]

[Video]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Didn't call it camping, but sure. Need someone to come along?

[Cause it sounds like a rite of passage thing.]

[Video]

[sariexmachina]

...Camping?

Like, real camping? None of this... [She waves a hand.] Hunting for food or anything, right?

'Cause I've so had enough of that!

[Because real camping involves hotdogs and smores, not junk yard diving or trapping rabbits. ...Not that rabbits seem to be an option here anyway.]

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Yeah, real camping! With campfires and marshmallows, and maybe some campfire songs. It'll be lots of fun, my dad used to take me camping all the time.

Are you interested in coming along Sari?

[Hey look, he knows your name!]

[Video]

[sariexmachina]

[Huh. That does sound kind of fun.]

...Yeah, maybe.

Cody, right? Who else is going?

[She might have heard him on the network before.]

[Video]

[warborn]

Hn. Did one of those a while back, scouting around the area.

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Did you have fun?

[Video]

[warborn]

Hnh. Guess so. Had a good time naming the scenery, at least.
