[Shockwave is standing in a room cluttered with bits and pieces, parts and limbs of what looks to be Autobots... Or at least there's definitely their symbol on some of those parts. He doesn't seem to be bothered, or even really notice the mess, he's too busy working away on a datapad. What's even more eye catching is the very large space bridge behind him, big enough to not only fit him, but fit that weird worm thing that seems to be staring at this portal. A weird worm covered in tentacles that's clearly too big to be entirely seen on the screen.]

Quite the chaos going on, it's certainly fascinating. It would make for a magnificent experiment. Tell me, has anyone-

[Shockwave's cut off by the space bridge activating and the giant metal tentacle-worm diving through it. Like a never ending train, it takes what seems like forever for the Driller to fully go through the space bridge. Pets. Always using your space bridges without permission.]

Driller!

Well, it's. Kind of my job. First work I've gotten that I know how to do already...

[raceme]

Take it as a suggestion. And I'm not going anywhere near you.

[noparachutes]

Unfortunate.

[video]

[noparachutes]

You are not horrendous at defending yourself.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Ah, th-thank you. That's the first time anyone's said that to me, I think.

[Compliments? WAT DO?]

[raceme]

I have ^{no wish} to play games with you.

And what was that giant metal worm? It looks funny.

[noparachutes]

That is a driller. I can have it introduce itself to you, once it gets back.

[noparachutes]

You are improving, however if you would like more jobs that utilize your strength, it can be arranged.

[deusexraf]

...that doesn't mean you shouldn't be worried. I mean, what if he gets hurt or something?

[BEAT, REALIZING WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT]

Or what if he accidentally hurts someone else?

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Well I'm glad you think so. I am trying... but I-I wouldn't mind a few maintenance jobs. Just for some variety.

[Video]

[noparachutes]

That is unlikely. And it will not hurt Decepticons.

[video]

[noparachutes]

[He's a scientist, he can make use of maintenance skills.]

Noted. I shall add some in between your training sessions in that case.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

All right. I appreciate it.

[If nothing else it will keep him busy and give him something to do that doesn't require him to try to learn a new skill.]

[raceme]

I never saw one before WHAT can he do aside from ...^drilling into things? No thanks _{I'm a shy} guy.

[neonmedic]

Merely curious.

[Video]

[deusexraf]

...just Decepticons?

[no bad no]

[Video]

[noparachutes]

It is one.

[Video]

[deusexraf]

There's more here than just Decepticons, though-! You're not caring about if it hurts them?

[noparachutes]

That is something only its prey knows.

[Video]

[noparachutes]

I have no reason to.

[Video]

[deusexraf]

[Driller you have the /worst/ owner he swears

though all things considered he should have realized it when 'Decepticon' came up but he can't

he's just going to kind of

disconnect now

and quietly see if he can find any sort of signal]

[raceme]

...


Sounds like the perfect pet for you.

[noparachutes]

It was bred to be.

[raceme]

You bred those? I always liked turbofoxes more.

[noparachutes]

I wanted a pet.
