-Nods-

Do I need briefing again, or are we, uh... -How do civilians think people say it again?- ...ready to deploy?

Let's get you acquainted with our guest, first.

-He motions to a human-sized door-


-A transforming robotic organism from another planet walks into a bar-

Oh, it's no big deal. The place is for travellers anyway.

Peter, be a dear and meet Reynardo at the place we disscussed. I'll help show this woman around.

-Peter salutes-

Aye aye!

-Tifa stares at him- Oh. You're back. -There's an edge to her voice-

-A few children peer at him from behind the bar as well-


-Steps through, trying to even out his breathing-

{Very kind of you.}

-Clunk clunk clunk goes her armor as she walks along-

-Aaand they get there after a little while-

-There's a guy cuffed to a seat in the room, with the classic interrogation room arrangement. Right down to the swinging lightbulb-

Oh, what, bringing in interns to crack me now? I've got nothing to say to alien collaborators.

Do your thing, son.


Y... yeah. Yes. I am.

-Shifts on his feet-

There was this— I mean, I would have come back sooner, but—

-Shuts up-

Oh, it's nothing. The people of this place showed me the same kindness when we tried to stake out the place for a possible theiving.

-Lapino chuckles-

Needless to say, we didn't go through with it.

The kitchen over here seems to refill all the time on its own. Don't you mind how much you take.

There may be quite a few people around, but there's always a free room for everyone, somehow.

{A kitchen like that? Interesting, but strange.}''

-Doesn't actually sit down, opting to just size the place up-

{This place doesn't seem like it has much worth robbing, so it's probably just as well that you didn't do it.}

Well yes. The fridge might be worth something, but that would be cruel. We saw our first humans here, so we thought something may be valuable here.

-Lapino shrugs-

We're just fine with the newfound friends, though. I'm sure the others would enjoy having you around.

But you were sick, right? And you didn't want me to worry about it.

-Is doing her best not to lay into him about heavy shit in front of a bunch of children- You know, I was worried you might have hurt yourself, while you were sick. Especially after you promised to never do this again. Do you remember last time? I do. I think about it every night and wonder if maybe it wasn't my fault you left.

-Some context would be great here. Too bad Cloud never tells anyone about anything-


Right, uh... hold on. I've never actually done another organic before. -It's technically true-

-Is it technically your memories or are they his and you're co-opting them because they're yours now because genetic memory isn't actually a real thing except it is for this?-

-Best not to think about this now-

-Stares at him for a moment-

-Agent Fowler gets a brief headache that fades just as quickly as it comes-

-Then he just sort of melts into him. The sound of bones rubbing against one another can be faintly heard-

Ghh...

Look— I—

You're right. I messed up a perfectly good thing. That's how it's been for me, upping and running the moment things look bad. But it's stopping, now. I'm going to stay.


-Fowler looks appropriately disquieted-

-Russel is freaking out-

What the— what did you just do?!

...Just don't forget you can talk to me if you need help with anything. Okay?

Thank you for coming back.

There's a letter on your desk for you and leftover pizza in the fridge.

-Goes back to taking inventory-


-Looks away, deeply uncomfortable-

-Would Nimbus feel guilty about running off with some guy's face-

-Probably not, it's what he does-

...Let's get this over with.

-Nod, and goes to check the letter-


-Preparation montage-

-Bumblebee and Fowler ride out with him to an old train scrapworks, as close as they can get without attracting attention-

This here is one of their outposts. They're always on the move, though, but wherever they go, you need to keep telling us. They'll figure out this spot here has our attention soon enough. We're more interested in catching the big fish - their real base.

-He hands him the radio they nabbed off Russel-

It's already on their channel. Make it good.

How am I supposed to contact you without tipping them off? They probably monitor these.


-Someone's sent in payment for a previous order via cheque-

-There's three empty beer cans on the desk and a bunch of papers in the corner that clearly haven't been touched in a while and a folder that might be bookkeeping-

-Which means maths-

-There's also a girl staring at him that seems to have followed him up-

-Oh no, one of the smaller organics-

-They are more vicious and unreasonable-

... Hey there.


You'll use your internal comm-system to communicate. You said you had one built in, right?

-Welp-

-Nimbus goofed on telling you that-

-No you can make this work you're good at building stuff-

-Maybe jury rig something later?-

What's the frequency?

The frequency for the Autobot base. Bumblebee knows it.

Beep beeb wop wop weeoo.

Got that?

-Shit shit shit-

Could you write that down? It'd probably help if I see it.


Denzel says you have a gun. Can I see it?

That's—

That's really not safe.


-Mercifully, Fowler writes it down and gives it to him-

Look, it's no secret you're the youngest bot on the team. If it all starts going south and you want out, we'll tear the place apart to get you to safety. You're not worth losing.

-Stares at it for a moment, trying to decide if he means "we'd rather firebomb the whole place with you in it than risk anyone else using you but us" or "there will be a next time". Probably both-

...Right. Thank you.


I can handle it. I shot a guy what broke into our tent once.

-Once Cloud's out of Bumblebee, they drive off-

-Leaving him with the radio-

-With Fowler's post-it note for the frequency, plus Russel's Callsign: Red Sky-


...

-Looks a little sad-

Well... well, I'm sorry you had to do that.

Have you ever shot a guy before?

...

-You have no idea what anyone else's names are-

...

-Switches on his radio- This is Red Sky. Radio check, over.
