Vandal here.

I've been sifting through the junk pile and I found a few things of interest. A few hard drives, some music and films on them, haven't sorted through or formatted it yet, but if anyone's interested in some entertainment there's that.

Found some stuff I might be able to turn into a human-sized living space. Old mobile home. Kind of shitty, but a nice fat project to work on. But uh.

Can anyone help me haul this thing out? I mean, I got it dislodged, but my RIG only has so much moving power.

Also: Hey Max, you around? When are we going to do that whole drink until we can't stand thing?

[Private to Ratchet]

Ratchet? I have something to ask you.

[Private to Perceptor]

You owe me that story.

You should at least install an early warning perimeter defense.

Or leash up one of the autobots as a watchbot. [okay kidding kidding jeez]

Yeah I'll get right on that after I figure out heat, electricity and running water. Look, who would possibly even care about killing me here? I may be a sitting duck but I'm hardly a threat to anyone.

You're pretty openly friendly with a lot of Autobots, and Decepticon 101 is threatening emotional assets.

And you've got a mouth on you. Not everybody is going to be charmed by that. [just him. Oops.]

What were you in the Medbay for before?

And you would know, huh? I couldn't give a shit about your stupid factions and I wouldn't exactly call me an "emotional asset".

Yes, okay I can be kind of a bitch, you got me there. I haven't really pissed off anyone particularly dangerous, anyways.

That isn't exactly your business is it?

Yes, I would know.

[And then he goes right for the throat cables.]

There are easier ways to prove you're not afraid of anything.

There's plenty of shit I'm afraid of.

[a beat. He relents, which is no easy thing for this arrogant ass] Look. I'm sorry if I'm giving off the wrong vibes here. We're all in this thing together, and if you want to take risks, that's your call.

You're right. It's none of my business.

Look. I'm sorry if I'm a bit chilly. I'm just-

Shit is kind of fucked up for me right now? And I have no idea why you even give a shit. Why anyone does. I have literally nothing to offer but getting underfoot.

You didn't offend me, if that's what you mean.

Why do you think I want something?

Doesn't everyone?

[Okay, Drift? Drift she's pretty sure is the only persopn she's met that didn't want something from her.]

I can hear Optimus's sanctimonious spark breaking from here.

Alright, you got me. I want your conversation. You're one of the only ones here without a good reason to hate me.

Who?

Oh. Well.

That's kind of shitty. Yeah I uh. I'll talk to you.

Optimus? Optimus Prime? Oh, I keep forgetting you're not from the Earth in my universe.

[the wince is pretty obvious in his voice] I don't want pity. Tell you the truth, I probably deserve to be alone. Especially if Drift's told you anything.

Kind of sounds awesome, but yeah never heard of him.

No, not really. I don't know. You seem like a pretty decent guy. For a politician.

[quasi-offended silence for a moment, but she doesn't know any better ~~she'd probably still think he was awesome if she met him~~]

He was the Autobot leader during the war. There's no love lost between us. [weh weh weh.

And then he hesitates, because half of him is like aw yeah ego fuel, and half of him is cagey.] You're just saying that. [but his faceplates betray him and he's smiling a little.]

Ohhhh sorry. Robot drama?

Nah, you did come to check on me after I had a weird freakout on you.

Just don't mention his name to any Megatrons. He's more serious about it than I am, and he has a worse temper. [well, not the SG one, but he'd rather caution her to look out for all fins that could be sharks than bother quantifying every so often you get a dolphin.]

And you can't imagine how much I want to pry about that.

Fair enough.

Yeah, I honestly can say it's not just you. I don't want to talk about it.

If you're still set on this mobile home idea, will you let me come take a look, at least?

Okay. That's fine.

Alright, if you insist.

I think you need someone to insist. [a pause] Who's helping you? Drift and Blurr?

I don't really but okay.

Yeah.

Come off it. How else do you prove loyalty and absolve yourself of responsibility, all at the same time? "Hey, I didn't tell you to! In fact, I warned you in the opposite direction!"

They're good mechs.

Yeah, yeah. Fair enough.

I know they are.

So are you angry?
