[He pops on the com, looking waaaaay too excited and eager, even for Wing.]

Fortune shines on us friends! Several of us have been talking about the need for a Rec Center and Bar, a place for everyone to gather, meet up and socialize. It appears the Lambda has, well, gifted us with an extraordinary bit of definitely-NOT-junk which we should be able to use as building materials! [He's not quite sure what this "lumber" stuff is, but it seems like it might be useful?]

[Not necessarily locked to McCrane]
I think you know more about construction that anyone here right? Can you help us out with telling us what we should focus on grabbing to make this happen?

[Not necessarily locked to Soundwave]
Hey, I know you're laid up mech, and we only briefly talked about drawing up blueprints for this idea, but are there any special materials that you think I should look for?

[Not necessarily locked to Blurr]
Hey look, weren't we just talking about this!? I can't believe it! Can you help coordinate any other volunteers we get for gathering and cataloging whatever materials McCrane and Soundwave say we need?

[Everyone else]
Want a bar, a game room, a restaurant, a dance club, a lounge? Help us out by collecting and transporting materials!

A list of useful things:

Beams, preferably steel
Sheet metal or wood
Wiring & lighting
Furnishings
concrete and ceramic blocks

"Game room?" You said the magic words, friend. I'll be happy to help, and lend my game collection.

Hmm. Guess that depends on what you find. Beams, sheet metal -- mainly that. And we'd have to outfit th' place with appropriate furnishing and wiring.

...Sorry I can't do much to help right now.

Is there anything in particular you require?

...you want to build something?

[A non-destructive robot's quite surprising.]

Yes of course! The temples are so spread out, we need a place that is central where everyone is welcome!

[Goodness he seems really excited right now.]

'Several of us...'? [What has he missed?]

I...uh I don't think this is a good idea.

[Because he remembers...Teddie.]

OOhhh That sounds awesome~! Will there be any areas that humans and other smaller guys can be? I mean I'm use to making sure not to get stepped on and I'm sure Raf is too, but I don't want the other guys to get hurt by accident. Ohh I know, maybe a raised area on some walls so that we can be at a better talking height! That would so totally rock!

[That actually makes 004 a little happy. It'd be great to take a break from fighting.]

Why not? Sounds great, You need help moving stuff?

Perceptor! [He seems quite pleased to see you!] I'm still getting feedback from those who know more about the logistics of building, but here's the beginnings of a list:

Beams
Sheet metal
Wiring & lighting
Furnishings

The rest is whatever you can guess is useful.

Excellent! I do hope to make it a place suitable for people of all different statures so you'd be more than welcome! We're compiling a list of the needed materials now. You don't know anything about construction by chance, do you?

[Wait. Magic words, what?]

Hey that's why I'm comming you friend, because I know you'd like to be out here hunting with us if you could. SO let us know what you'd like us to hunt for! I don't know much about construction at all really.

Hmm. Man, dude, I'm bad at this. I had the Constructicons' help if I needed this sorta thing.

Think you could help me out with material for a small stage in our recreational center idea?

[Wing is ecstatic that they have the opportunity to create here instead of destroy, which had been the common theme during their civil war, and the idea of creating something for everyone really inspires him.]

Thanks! We can use all the help we can get. FOr now I've been stacking things that I think could be useful in a certain area, but it's not really that far from everything else. We'll need to move it out of the Junk Pile at some point, and cataloge what we have.

A lot of this material is unfamiliar to me since I come from an inorganic world, perhaps you know better?

[A flicker over his face as he makes a realization.] I don't think we've met. I'm Wing, by the way.

I think I could, just give me directions and I'll be there.

[He gives a short nod in return to the robot. Normally he wouldn't be excited about this, but it gives him something to do.]

You robots sure have interesting names. Call me 004.

It came up at the party with Blurr... then I started thinking about it again when Soundwave found all that food and those games...

What...no? [He deflates a little. And, maybe for a second there's a pouty lip.]

But... [And then he's hopefully cheerful again. He'll sell you on this great idea if it...well whatever.] We could make a place safe for all the humans too. With a central place to store their food.

The most important part of building is having a secure structure. Focus on sturdy materials to form the base.

[Finally! He feels actually very useful all of a sudden.]

There is not much weather, here, so the exterior will mainly be decorative instead of functional.

Wiring won't be an issue as I'm already in the right... aisle. [ This is so bizarre. ]

Lighting should be nearby. I will procure what I can.

Oh. [Drift being jealous? Maybe.]

Because. Uh. Teddie. Has plans. If we have a bar.

[Wingbear. Seriously. Wing. WINGBEAR.]

[He shakes his head.] Tactically bad. If we store anything in only one location, and it's lost, the humans have no food at all.

Unless you're building a fortress, not a...game rec room bar whatever thing _{with probably dancing}. [He's not sure he caught all of that.]

[He hates that he's objecting, but a) Wingbear b) it needs to be done right.]

[You have no idea how absolutely excited he is over this.]

Yes! I knew it! It must be everyone picking on my powerful brainwaves, I knew it was only a matter of time.

Well, sounds like you got a lot of work to do. I'll, uh, leave it to you guys.

[Okay, that's...kinda of cute.] Mcaddams's Oil House came up, do you remember it?

Plans? Really him too? Like what? [Oh gosh he's excited. It's tangible and he might get it on you if you get close.]

[Suddenly some of that enthusiasm is redirected into puzzlement, then determination.] You're right! About the stores of human food. So there should be a secondary store, and only what's needed daily keep at the rec center.

But think about it, I bet the humans would love a place to serve their food in a way closer to what they are used to! Nothing is properly sized for them.

Yes definitely! That's part of why I want to do this, none of the temples are suited to humans. A place for humans to prepare and serve food would be good too right?

McCrane! [He's overjoyed!] I hope you don't mind me conscripting you for this? I'm at a bit of a loss myself really. You are feeling well enough I hope?

Sturdy materials? There seem to be bricks of stone-like substance, metal sheeting and beams, and sticks or slabs or organic material that seems strong-ish? Are any of those good?

Oh... Decorative? Hmmm.... [Oh dear...you've made him think about a whole new facet of this endeavor.]

From the outside. [He snorts.] They didn't let my kind in there. [That was for mechs with money, like Blurr.]

His plan. To, uh, get everyone to [Wow it was so easy to tease Wheeljack about this but he can't even say the word to Wing without squirming in embarrassment] to 'score'.

I thought they'd love any food not in a can. [To listen to Vandal, at any rate.]

[Wing has an idea, because he's pretty jazzed himself.]

You knew it? Exactly how?

Well regardless, it's a great bit of fortune for us!

What kinda stuff ya guys looking for?

Think I can help in the materials department.
