[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!

Of course. I-I will.

Ah, if you don't mind my asking... where did the parts come from?

[video]

[noparachutes]

The portal seems to spit them out. Did you want some?

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

That's odd for a portal... Oh, I-I wouldn't know what to do with them, honestly...

[video]

[noparachutes]

You are welcome to as much as you want, should you find something you wish to do.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Of course. I appreciate the offer. Maybe I'll figure something out, at some point.

[video]

[noparachutes]

The parts are not going anywhere, so you have plenty of time.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

All right. I'll think on it.

[video]

[noparachutes]

If you need anything else, just let me know.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

I will. I don't need much, usually, we're... pretty self-sufficient.

[video]

[noparachutes]

Good to know.

Fracas you work maintenance correct?

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

I do, yes. Why do you ask, Shockwave?

[He is curious about that.]

[video]

[noparachutes]

I could use your assistance down in the portal room.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

All right. I'll come take a look at it.

[Work that he knows how to do!]

[video]

[noparachutes]

Appreciated.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

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

[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?]

[video]

[noparachutes]

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

[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]

[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.]
