"--Windiest city in the northeast!-- --A question has been raised-- --a great cry among the people!"

[Bumblebee paused, and then halfway through switched to a video call, smiling out at Windblade. A faint hint of a crease that humans would've called a dimple flashed at his smile]

"--An invitation for two to the most magical-- --belles of the ball!-- --Would you wish-- --to attend-- --with me-- --dearest friend?--"

[ Windblade laughs and gives Bee a smile when he switches over to video. ]

Hey Bumblebee, I'd love to go to the Ball with you.

[ While you were away someone has been in your room.

It doesn't look like this someone has really rifled that much through your possessions. Or stolen anything.

How do you know someone was here? There is a tiny plastic human toy baby in a drawer somewhere. It has an equally tiny sword and the best eye makeup you've ever seen on a tiny plastic toy baby. ]

[ Recently Bass requested some important information. Who... is the strongest Cybertronian on this ship. He received a hot tip that it was 'Shockwave' but also 'not the Senator one'. There were a few thoughts that went through his processor. One... it was really dumb that there were two people here with the SAME NAME. It must get confusing! Two, while he does (surprisingly) know what a Senator is, he has no idea what a Senator looks like. Do they wear signs? Bass guesses probably not.

This leads him to one conclusion: He has to fight BOTH of them to make sure he's actually fighting the strong one.

This leads him to a second conclusion: He has no idea where Shockwave lives. He could ask for direction, ask if anyone knows... but that begs the question... If they know how strong Bass is will they even tell the truth?

There is now one solution: He has to canvas the ship himself and check every inhabited room he comes across.

So there's the backstory. And that's why Bass, armored up in his winged Treble armor (being able to fly covers ground quicker!) is pounding aggressively at your door.

Sorry. ]

Good afternoon, Windblade. I thought it pertinent to message you.

[seeing as this is several days later it goes without saying he got better from what happened. it is also probably obvious that aside from checking, he would like to know what happened, and that what he did wasn't pointless.]

I appreciate all you did on the mission. I hope the team made it back without further damage...?

You're welcome Optimus. Everyone fought very hard, and I'm relieved we were able to rescue the hostages.

Yes, after you— well, after that, the last sniper turned himself in. We questioned him, and left him with the Treekin to face their justice.

How are you feeling?

Yes, that's a relief. [this is an audio connection, but windblade probably has enough experience with optimii and those like him to know he winces.] Ah... sorry about that.

[well, anyway. predictably:] I'm fine-- certainly better now I know what happened.

[ she gives a little laugh ] You don't have to apologize.

You're very like the Optimus I know.

What can I say, we're in our Prime! [he sounds so pleased with himself for that.]

[ Windblade, bless her spark, laughs even though she groans loudly. ]

Was that the first mission off the ship that you've done?

[that makes him feel a little better. the groaners are always the good ones.]

No.

[and then he immediately feels bad again, because going by her size and the energon lines on her frame, she's probably from the same reality as his smaller counterpart. of whom watching drop dead twice was not an extremely enjoyable experience, even if it was in defence of innocents.]

I've been on one other major one and like to disembark when we stop planet side for supplies, as well as visiting the Titan Eco Memoria every now and then.

Hey I'm making myself a fancy eyepatch so I at least look cute while my new optic is being fabricated. You want one?

Yes please. Thank you Nickel, and for all your help during our mission.

[ Windblade will find a blood red duck in her hab that feels... dangerous. Like it's UP to something. Picking it up and giving it a squeeze will produce a small slim blade that ejects out of it's beak!

It's a Duck Knife! A Dife perhaps? Either way hopefully you weren't holding that the wrong way! ]

((The Dife allows a once per battle use of the Backstab ability ))

Hello Miss Windblade! I just wanted to message you really quick and give you a big thank you for helping during the fight with Velocitron! I appreciate you protecting me and my brothers and Sarah.

Of course, Roll. That's what friends do for each other :)

[ She's picked up emojis from Bee and... well, just about everyone. ]

:D Exactly! You're pretty cool! I think Rock really likes you too. Maybe one day I can learn to fight and be as strong as you!

And I like all of you too. You have a really strong bond with each other and that's something that's so important. It's much more important than being good at fighting, you know?

Hm, yeah. Rock and I are really close, especially now that we're stuck here. But that just means I have to work harder to keep him safe. He always wants to go off and fight and help people and that seems a lot more dangerous here then it was before.

Back home I always stayed home with Dr. Light, so I want to make sure I'm more active here.

hey, sentimental bot! i heard you got back from one of those dippy missions five minutes or a couple weeks ago. you good? i know things get weird or terrible or weirdly terrible on those. i got high grade in me'n warp's room if you need it, and this wasn't even processed through an engine this time! swanky!

Hi Nova Storm :) I might take you up on that.

The mission went... all right. We did what we set out to do and we didn't lose anyone on our team, but...

I guess we forget sometimes, not everyone's done this sort of thing before. Definitely not for as long. It was hard watching the little ones go through it, even though they were very brave.

Hey Windblade, It's Cal. I just wanted to check in on you after everything that happened. You saw some of the same things I did... it was pretty intense. We were all high on adrenalin-

[ There's an offended beep in the background somewhere from BD-1 ]

-Or um, you know, whatever the equivalent for you is. Combat protocol? Anyway, visions like those can take an emotional tole so hard it's physical sometimes. Just wanted to make sure you were doing okay.
