".... Do you have.... Do you have anything for heights?" Silverbolt looks extremely embarrassed, already half ready to flee. "It's just. They said this was the medical area. And... And I'm not always weird about heights. I can go if you'd rather."

Glit looks up. And then he looks up some more. He's not a large Cybertronian, even on two legs rather than four, and they built these young Autobots pretty darn big.

"Yes, I'm the chief medical officer of this station. My name is Glit. Please come inside and sit down in one of the consultation rooms, I'll show you. You seem very embarrassed, and I have some questions, but i don't want to ask you in front of everyone else in the waiting room. You're entitled to medical privacy. We should be able to help you, whatever the problem is."

"Silverbolt, when I'm on Sanctuary, I eat with the rest of the humans in their commissary. When I'm in my apartment in Tsukuba Science City, I also have plenty of food. I can afford food wherever I go. I have a job with the EDC and grants that support my research."

Raf sighs.

"If I don't want to eat alone, my mama and abuela will feed me in Jasper, or Mrs Darby will. On Mars I can eat with Charlie at Utopia Planitia. It's sweet of you, but I do not need you to buy me a lifetime supply of canned glop. That stuff isn't really even good for us except as an occasional thing when we're too busy to get something better."

[viridiansilverwing]

An attractive nuisance, obviously. (Also a very normal occurrence after junior seeker cadet training sessions.)

Silverwing and Viridian come into the sun room with Silverwing's creche-friend Wildbreak, who's visiting from Velocitron, and Viridian's younger brother Dedication. Except for Viridian herself, they're all Decepticons. Wildbreak and Viridian are not jets...but Dedication is going to be a rather large jet, who must also be some kind of heavy transport because his shoulders have tank treads.

"Hi boys," Silverwing says as she settles into a nice warm spot.

They have sweets, and rather weak engex, because Soundwave and Silvermist refuse to let them have the good stuff.

What do you call a pile of jets?

They've found the sun room and are happily sprawled all together in a tangle of limbs.

Even Air Raid is basking happily, tucked against Silverbolt on one side and Slingshot on the other.

[esquivelle]

"... Raf? Raf, we... we decided something." There's Silverbolt, looming in over them with a faintly anxious expression. The others range behind, unconsciously mirroring.

"Raf... We think... We think we'd like to meet another Cybertronian. Before we do any more."

"Okay, that's fair, but who? You should probably meet more than one, actually. Someone from EDC and someone from Sanctuary. And an Autobot, if we can find one."

Raf shrugs. "Thundercracker's the easiest person to get from the EDC. Sanctuary...I don't know. I can get you a video uplink to talk to someone and you can decide if you want to meet with them here."

They want this to be fair. They do. They just want to act fast and secure these bots' right to stay where they are, if that's what they want.

[esquivelle]

"Do you know... Do you know any fliers we could talk to?" Silverbolt offers by way of greeting. "I mean, we met Powerglide but that was only the one time. I think... I think it would be nice to meet, really, anyone you recommend. But... Maybe a flier could help us. Help me."

"I think Powerglide might still be around somewhere. He lives with a human lady. And also there is Thundercracker." Raf muses for a moment. "I think they are friends."

[esquivelle]

'I can hear you plotting, Silverbolt. I do not want a case of Spaghetti-Os. If you must gift me with gross canned pasta, Chef Boyardee Ravioli actually tastes decent after you put enough garlic powder and shake cheese in it."

@formsuperion

[esquivelle]

He's not the only one.

Some of those rubber chickens had been modified to make them unusually loud. And Viridian, Silverwing and Remix are being held accountable.

Somebody better 'fess up'.

Will Air Raid and Fireflight ever admit they were the ones to sneak in as many rubber chickens as they could fit in their subspaces into Sanctuary?

Unlikely.

Silverbolt will be mortified when he finds out.

[formsuperion]

Silverbolt just hopes that he can get this right. He doesn't want to leave Earth any more than the others do.

[formsuperion]

"... I think I need a nap." -Silverbolt

[formsuperion]

Primus.

He hopes they aren't in trouble. And that Air Raid won't start a fight.

Said brother only looks vaguely irritated from where he's sprawled, sunning on the hot tarmac. "Stop thinking so loud, or I will start a fight." The other scoffs, though it's mostly bluster.

"Both of you should sun more and fight less." Fireflight puts in.

[esquivelle]

Do not do this. I know you already said no, but. Do not do this.

Their idea of "fun" is endangering themselves and everyone around them and they have never heard of the concept of "not popping your panels until you are sure you can trust the other person".

The EDC gets called about them on a fairly regular basis. Some of them live on Sanctuary but if they get into trouble on Earth for being obnoxious shitheads, they know they will not be got out of that trouble by Ravage and Soundwave.

They like to fuck in alt-mode on the freeways and their favourite time to do so is "rush hour".

I'm pretty sure they were the inspiration for that Lemon Demon song, even though only one of them is an actual truck. Also, Motormaster's arrival on Sanctuary is what precipitated the consent classes you all have to take from Howlback before you're considered legal adults, in which you will be told that you are not allowed to do all sorts of things most of you will not ever have considered doing.

(Like having group sex on the freeway without asking everyone else who will be affected by that if they are OK with it.)

go out on a group date with the stunticons

"... What? Why?" Silverbolt blinks in confusion. "Also... No thank you."

[formsuperion]

@supremestarscream

"Oh yeah?! You wanna fight, you tinfoil turkey?!" Air Raid challenges.

"Raid. No." Silverbolt just looks embarrassed.

[formsuperion]

@aircommndr liked x !

"... Can you explain?" Skydive again.

This time though, Silverbolt is lurking nearby. Just in case.

[formsuperion]

@salivatingsycophant

Silverbolt holds very still, uneasy. "I didn't... I didn't mean to disturb you." He mumbles. "... Sorry."

[esquivelle]

I love you guys too. Did Powerglide come out yet? TC was going to but he had to go back to Cybertron with Marissa.

Actually it's kind of funny that they're both with humans.

Maybe someday I'll date a robot, who knows.

.....

Rafael is very friend sized. They all think so. Even Air Raid.

Silverbolt has someone new to fret over.
