[He and his party have been returning for the last few days, a ragged, shaken group who are nevertheless still alive. They are survivors, and Megatron seems to take a sort of pride in that...walking tall and steady despite an obvious limp. A few blades are slung from his back like trophies, and one or two still have alien-looking hands attached at the hilt.]

I must admit concession to whoever told me it was folly to approach the badlands.

[Here he is. Returned. He wishes he could say it was a relief.]

You were right...

...but so was I.

[He tosses a blade down, letting it imbed in the safe soil at his feet.] Their numbers are greater than ours. If they should attack at full strength, I doubt we would last long.

So why do they not attack us yet?

[He smirks, but it's a bitter smirk.] I have a theory.

We may even be able to use it to our advantage.

Those who offered their support are welcome to this information. Those who did not? Well. We're all in this together, aren't we?

[It doesn't mean he's going to tell. Not right away.]

I'll be at the Hub if anyone wants to hear our stories. If there are any medics thinking about attending...you'll be needed.

[The ones who had come along had done amazingly given the lack of facilities and traveling circumstances, and more weren't going to hurt.]

I need no repairs that my autorepair won't take care of.

[ It's true enough. Compared to some she was lucky enough to come out of the fight with just dents and scrapes. ]

So, I will join you.

Good. I hate wasting time when we can get straight to the point.

[The point would likely involve one cube of energon, to start with...but just one. Business and pleasure were allowed to mix, but only if they didn't affect his mind.]

I'll be waiting.

[He doesn't even bother to drop the blades off at his cave--it's straight to the Hub for him.]

I like how you think.

[ Eh, she's particularly nomadic herself. It felt weird having her own space in Leige's temple. She wasn't particularly used to having anything to call her own, so she... mostly avoids it. ]

I won't leave you waiting too long.

[He'll be at the bar when you arrive. He's even left a seat open for you, though it isn't in the shadows.]

No reason to see a medic?

[ Megatron, you're cramping her style. At the very least she keeps her head down as she slides into that seat, though. ]

I avoid injuries I can't fix myself. I find it's a good policy to keep. Worked out pretty fine so far.

Then you don't find it easy to trust, do you?

[That was a trait he shared.]

I could recommend a few good medics. Just...in case.

Provided you'd accept the word of a Decepticon.

Not particularly. [ Difficult to trust just anyone to root around in her internals after everything. ] But I usually find it's mutual.

[ Her optics narrow slightly. ]

That depends on if they're real medics, or are your recommendations medics only as a side hobby? Am I supposed to think I'll be needing one soon?

Oh? I heard Autobots tended to be the trusting sort...

[He'd heard it often enough.]

Better to have some good leads if you do, then to try figuring it out when its too late.

Besides, given what we saw out there I would be surprised if there won't be some close calls in the future.

Of those who share their brand, at the very least.

[ It stings, but it's an honest statement. Arcee is a mostly honest mech, after all. ]

You really have no idea who I am, do you?

[ Her hand is woefully empty of a drink. High grade was still something a bit fascinating to her, a rarity to ever touch her mouth. She gives a pointed look at her empty hand, then back at Megatron, making a motion that she wanted her hand filled with something. Go get her a drink, buddy. ]

Give me that recommendation, then.
