A brief census, if you will. Typically, I'm not interested in such things, but... it may prove useful in determining the hows and whys of our arrivals.

That said...

Approximately, or, preferably, exactly, how many universes are represented by individuals within the Haven? Specifically Cybertronian universes.

[He pauses.]

Though, I suppose, if we're going to be entirely accurate, we also need to consider organic universes...

So consider this an informal survey. Do try and respond promptly.

Yeah? Tell me how all the guys who are gonna say 'mine' are gonna look all in a line.

You're not gonna be any closer from where ya started, Sarge.

Well, be useful, then. Who all is currently present from your world? Then, if they respond, I can simply tally them under:

"Wheeljack's Obnoxious Wrecker-Filled World"

Let's see. Me, Buk, Doc, Knock, Deads and that...bird thing. Predacon.

There, I earn a gold star for that one?

Right. Duly noted.

... If you want.

...Really? You got those lying around just for me or are they standard issue?

Cause I can name more planets.

Standard issue. I'm afraid you'll have to do more than name planets to obtain anything personalized.

...Think I can do that. Depends on what you're lookin' for.

I got this selective intelligence.

[Now he's just being a smarmy ass.]

You know very well what it is I expect of you.

I didn't think your intelligence would select to forget that much.

[You know what? Have some back.]

[Now that gets a laugh out of him, tilting his head back]

Hey, I'm a simple bot tryin' to make my way in the universe. We forget things.

You're lucky I know just what you're talkin' about.

If you're so simple, then perhaps I need to look into hiring additional security.

[Yeah, no, he won't do that.]

I should hope you do. I do so hate having to repeat myself.

Try it, you won't find anyone like me.

[Which is sadly true.]

I put in after hours.

I'm sure I could locate a halfway decent replacement, given time.

[There's a pause.]

... Do you really?

[YEAH WATCH THAT FLY OVER HIS GENIUS HEAD.]

...

Yeah. You know...that stuff.

[PERCY DON'T DO THIS TO HIM.]

What st--

[You can almost hear it click.]

... Ah.

So you do.

Yeah, I thought so.

[He gives a hearty laugh, though, at how long it took Percy to figure out. That's what he liked about scientist types. Always slow on the uptake.]

Don't go findin' a replacement who can't handle that kind of extra credit.

[He sputters a little. That's not funny, damn you.]

You'll be pleased to know there aren't any.

We've discussed that before.

[It's hilarious. Especially when you make -that- noise.]

Good, no need to even look, yannow? Got all ya need right here.

[He "clears his throat".]

Yes. I am aware.

[And then he sobers.]

... You really are the best this place has to offer, you realize.

...

[Are we getting feelingsy? Because that's certainly looks like the direction they're going in. Wheeljack slaps up a lock just in case.

Because he's shy.]

Heh, how'd that happen?

[Jokes aside.]

Means a lot, Sarge. I uh...you're the same, you know.

I have utterly no idea how it happened... though I imagine you're mostly to blame.

[Hey he doesn't mind the lock, either. It's easier to be honest that way.]

I... had gathered you felt similarly. My apologies for... not speaking sooner.

It didn't seem right.

Probably is. Gotta say though, one of the better times I've messed up, yeah?

[But his eyes cast up at that, not that Perceptor can see behind the audio, but it's obvious he's being contemplative.]

Doesn't matter. Not like I took any action either. Just...worked out, didn't it?

"Messed up" is not the word I would use for it. Not any longer.

[He's quiet for a few minutes. Except for the soft tap of keys in the background.]

I... would hope that it does. Work out, I mean. You aren't obligated to anything, regarding myself.

[Another laugh, sounding pretty amused at that.]

Sarge, wouldn't have gone with it if I didn't wanna.

You're kinda stuck with me now.

I'm only saying...

[Wow somebody got way huffy.]

... I don't mind that, you realize. Being "stuck" with you.

[There's a softness to his voice when he speaks again, like he's comforting someone.]

I know. Don't worry, Sarge. It ain't a dream you're gonna wake up from.
