[Video]

[The video feed flickers on to the sight of a young boy seemingly passed out as his desk. Don't worry guys, he's still alive. As proof of this, he raises his head and blearily stares down at the data pad he has in front of him. A hand reaches out and roughly brushes the coffee mug and drags it closer to him. He makes the mistake of drinking some before making a face and spitting it back into the mug. Yuck, cold stale coffee is nasty.

Cody doesn't look too good. Actually, he looks like a kid who has been up for three days straight with nothing to sustain him but coffee and granola bars. Why would he do this and what could possibly be so important that he'd do this to himself? Well, part of it is because Prowl is a very curt and demanding boss. The other part is because Cody actually wants to impress him a little. Four days of constant and dedicated paperwork would do it right?

Ugh, he feels terrible. But luckily for him he's almost done.

Just a little more.

[He mutters to himself before tiredly getting back to work.

About twenty seconds later his head droops again and hits the desk with a thud. No, no naps yet. C'mon Cody, keep going...

Would your dad have let you stay up this late, drinking coffee?

I'm sure he also knew the value of resting too.

[Venturing into dad territory with Barricade is dangerous; he's had to dad at a lot of people himself.]

That's cause you really don't need it. You are blessed with all the energy you need already. Adults... not so much. Hence the coffee.

I know the feeling, believe me. But there is such a thing as over-doing it.

[What can he say? Frenzy, in spite of being a robot, was constantly trying to drink it. As if the hacker needed to be more jittery.]

And you have been. But proving yourself doesn't mean going 'til you drop; all that does is prove you don't know when to stop or slow down.

[Barricade pauses, completely startled.]

You don't have to apologize, kiddo.
