[Video - Transmission from: Solian Medbay] 3rd Flight

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[When the video cuts on, Swoop seems to still be in the medbay. Horrible cannon wounds to the stomach and all. More importantly, he is peering at what looks to be a small bolt parading its way up his arm. He chirps at it a couple times before remembering that yes, he did turn on the video for a reason.]

Where bot named Cliffjumper? Me found bottle full of little walking bolts and screws, has his name and picture on it.

Also uhm. Me, Swoop sorry. Couple of them escape.

[Swoop you liar, you opened it on purpose and ten of them got out. Aside from the one on his arm they are all marching in the direction of his gut.]

Them kind of tickle a bit.

... Yeah, I suppose now that I've got this, I ought to offer at least one medic a few so they can make some more. It ain't hard if I remember right, just gotta keep 'em protected.

[Like earlier, he's not sure exactly how he knows, exactly, which bugs him (as usual). Because while any of the negative polarity Decepticons could've told him, that he doesn't remember it... well.]

Well, ya gotta understand... like I said, positive polarity ones are terrifyin'. No one wants to get eaten, ya know?

[He grins, which then softens a little into a smile as Swoop interacts with the tiny birds.]

Suppose they don't have to, no. And they'd come to you anyway, since they'd probably have trouble findin' food, as long as you make sure ya do have food for them.

Could maybe ask him nice Megatron if you remember how right. Just in case? Would be bad to lose accidentally.

[Abject lessons in 'ask someone in case they know more than you... and then don't get mad and kick them off the island in a huff'.]

Me know, me know. If them had tried eating me, would have killed them. Is not my fault Cybertronians never tell anything.

[Actually that's mostly his Grimlock's fault, but he won't get into that.]

Oh, me definitely find food for if them not able too. Remember what them eat: seeds, berries, nuts... bugs... Who knows, maybe if them have enough space, them nest. Have baby birds. Cybertron not have any yet.

Yeah, sounds like an idea. [He hadn't thought about it, but that sounds about right, actually, so with a nod, he carefully slips the bottle into subspace and then gives Swoop a slightly arch look.]

What, 'bout the scraplets, or in general? 'Cause it's kinda hard to say somethin' while you're in a panic.

[But that did sound more like "in general" than necessarily just this situation, and Cliffjumper grunts thoughtfully.]

Maybe. Though Cybertron ain't really a place for organic creatures, even if this one's got more organic stuff on it than usual, like the garden and whatnot.
