    Summary

    In fact, Brainstorm spends seven minutes locked into a state of sheer terror, his optics fixed on Perceptor’s stony, unmoving expression as Perceptor works over the dead console, speaking low and steady to Rodimus on the Lost Light until even the emergency short range comms give out. After that, it’s eleven minutes of wild fleeing in root mode over rough terrain in a howling blizzard that makes using anything other than their legs inadvisable. Brainstorm is pretty certain the electromagnetic interference is so intense he could fly nose first into rock and not know it until the second of impact.

    Perceptor's still going through some things after the sparkeater incident. The second sparkeater incident, which is a lot of sparkeater incidents to have in such a short period of time. Brainstorm is too. They're both working through it. A temporary stranding on a survey mission gone wrong gives them some time to work through it a little faster.

    Summary

    First Aid makes the two kilometer hike under the cover of dense, temperate rainforest. The sun filtering through the high canopy is beautiful, water puddling in old stumps, the old growth covered in deep green moss, fungi, and climbing vines. As he approaches his destination, some of the tension eases. There's so much sensor data to parse that his processor releases some of the resources devoted to tending his low-level dissatisfaction. The sky, pale and clear where he can see it through gaps in the outstretched branches, makes the day seem brighter.

    The war is over. First Aid finds a dirty Decepticon.

    Summary

    Pharma is standing over his evening cube in the small fueling area, hands full of mineral supplements, when Ratchet slopes in, overcharged and smelling of oil and ozone.

    Ratchet leans against the prep counter. He's a wreck, even at first glance, his plating gaping and a smear of blue paint on the inside of his stark white thigh. Pharma looks down at his cube and sets it aside untouched.

    Ratchet's always had a reputation for blowing off steam. Everyone assumes Pharma minds. He doesn't know where they got that idea — he loves the way Ratchet comes home after he's been out for a joyride, mess and all.

    Summary

    Bay 17 is dark, tucked near the back out of the way from the usual business, unlabeled and off the record. They keep their special orders there. He picks over the bins, looking for his name, and cracks the others for the joy of snooping. Onslaught's got four bottles of genuine triple distilled engex; extremely tempting, but Swindle's sense of self-preservation wins out. He does make a point to steal a single energon candy from Brawl's order, though, right from the center.

    Swindle likes Blurr plenty — funny guy, pays all his bills on time, gives Swindle free drinks. The rest is unexpected.

    Summary

    They aren't beating him, which is probably a bad sign, because it means whoever captured him has a plan. Prowl is in a high security cell by himself, criss-crossed hardlight bars dominating his view. The only place to sit is on the floor. There’s nothing for him to rip out of the walls, no cameras inside the cell, no recessed lighting, and his subspace compartments have been pillaged down to the last micron.

    Prowl is having a bad time. The only positive to the situation is that Soundwave is having an even worse one.

    Summary

    The Acid Rain first comes into view through the central cockpit window as a small blot of shadow against a background of faded starlight, a black patch rendered between the stars well before the shuttle's exterior cameras pick up any useful detail. Slowly, the hulk of metal resolves into a monument to Functionist hubris, the flat side emblazoned with the same gilded sigil of Primus the old Senate used to plaster on churches and bombs alike.

    After the war, routine has taken hold of First Aid's life: repairing damaged mechs, reconstruction of medical facilities, and an unwelcome involvement in politics. First Aid's function periodically takes him away from Cybertron to deliver medical supplies and training to Cybertronian colonies.

    A chance encounter en route to Cybertron will change First Aid's life forever.

    Summary

    It's hot and the atmospheric handler at the base is busted. Normally it's not a problem, but Earth is so humid that it makes Sideswipe miss the desert. He'd take the sand in his actuators over the sticky, cloying feeling any day.

    Coming down to the beach was a good plan. Getting exiled there by an annoyed Ratchet was an even better one, because they didn't even need to sneak out of the base.

    Sideswipe's not handling the heat very well, but Sunstreaker's temper is even worse.

    Summary

    "It isn't fair," Starscream’s voice cuts through the otherwise relative peace and quiet of their hab. He throws down a heavily crumpled piece of plastic and slumps dramatically onto the couch next to Skyfire. "Government issued trine matches are for losers that can’t get dates."

    Starscream's issued a fresh new pair of trinemates and Skyfire missed his shot. At least, that's what he thinks before he meets them.

    Summary

    Four days after the first — and only — time Brainstorm vigorously frags Perceptor up against the wall in the small, unused storage room adjacent to their laboratory, Perceptor pauses next to the laboratory table, looking over the cluttered workspace and asks, "Is this a personal project?"

    Brainstorm and Perceptor are fragging. Well. Have fragged. Exactly once. They were deep in a bottle of engex and it was definitely all three of the top three hottest moments of Brainstorm's life.

    Brainstorm wants to do it again — very badly — but he has a little problem.

    Summary

    In the entrance of their small cave, a vast shadow in the unlit gloom, Zircon lifts her head as First Aid rouses, stricken with an unfamiliar, agitated restlessness that isn't his own.

    The hour is earlier than their usual waking, only the thinnest, most watery light penetrating the darkness. The linens below him are body-warm, but the air outside his bedding has a distinct chill to it that speaks of a winter soon to come.

    First Aid doesn't quite fit in with the other dragonriders. As a Healer, his skills are more useful on the ground, even after Impressing his green dragon, but he can't hide from the inevitable.

    Summary

    "Hey there, pretty little medibot," Brawl sing-songs from behind First Aid. Two strong arms loop around his waist and lift him straight off the ladder with a rattle. "Guess who's back?"

    "Hands, Brawl! Let me put down the glass," he yelps, holding the tray of sample vials aloft so Brawl doesn't jostle them into shattering. Brawl swings him down onto his feet with more care than he usually handles anything else and nothing breaks. First Aid counts it as a small victory. "These are important."

    First Aid has a creative solution for handling his imprisonment by the Combaticons. The trouble is, it eventually starts working a little too well.

    Summary

    "Another broken leg strut?" There's really no rest for the wicked around here. Knock Out sighs and punches in an order for replacement parts. The estimated wait time isn't even worth glancing at. It'll get here when it gets here. "What are you animals doing to one another out there?"

    Breakdown comes back from a mission in one piece. Knock Out has a break between patients.

    Summary

    Vortex picks up the laser scalpel he lifted from First Aid’s subspace during search and seizure and turns it between his claws. It's a nice piece of equipment, well kept, so pristinely clean that Vortex might suspect it's never been used if not for the subtle divots in the handle worn there by First Aid's fingers. The Autobots take care of their equipment.

    He looks at First Aid's hands. They're resting on the table, shackled, folded one neatly over the other. His posture is relaxed, like he's simply waiting for something perfectly mundane to happen.

    They catch themselves a pretty little piece of Autobot aft. Onslaught wants to know where Optimus Prime is. Vortex wants to know what makes First Aid tick.

    Summary

    Rung is carefully placing a caudal panel on a scale model of a Halaxian Cruiser when he gets a comm notification from Rodimus. He frowns and checks the ship's time before opening it — it's well into Rodimus' usual rest cycle.

    The message reads:

    can you come by my quarters urgent personal matter DO NOT CALL MEDBAY

    Rodimus is in a bind in the middle of the night. Rung, who's learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to the Lost Light's captain, isn't even remotely prepared for what he finds when he answers a late night message for assistance.

    Summary

    Gasket’s flophouse is right on the edge of where it gets really filthy, but the outer doors lock and the floors only flood a few centimeters when storms blow in off the Acid Wastes. The atmospheric handler's always broken, so it's ten degrees above comfortable most of the wet season, but there are worse things than paying a few extra creds for a double ration of coolant.

    Gasket’s only rules are no trashing the place and no one brings customers back.

    Things are going okay for Drift. Then Whirl shows up, shiny and polished and looking like a million creds amid all the detritus of Dead End, and reminds Drift exactly how substandard he really is.

    Summary

    "The whole point is you don’t know who it is," Crankshot is saying expansively over the pounding music, remarkably the least overcharged of the mechs boxing Deadlock into the booth. "What’s the fun in sticking your spike through a hole in the wall if there isn’t the thrill of not knowing who’s on the other side? That’s just an inconvenient hookup."

    Deadlock's got a little leave and he's using it how he likes. He's only hoping to find some warm-bodied little neutral to kill some time with, but he finds someone even better.

    Summary

    Their hab is quiet except for the air handler. Drift lies still until he's cycling atmosphere slowly again, blinking hazily at all the places that his and Ratchet's lives meet. Ratchet’s data pad left carelessly on Drift’s desk. An anatomical model next to Drift's spiraling crystal sculptures. Decor from a dozen worlds, none of it particularly matching, somehow in harmony. A warm, clean, colorful place for the two of them, filled with tender memories.

    Drift can feel that brightness at the edges of his processes, that quiet peace he’s been hunting for. He just needs a little help to get there.

    Summary

    First Aid's footfalls land heavily on the packed sand of the arena, kicking up clouds of microparticulates. He pauses at the sound of falling sand, tense, but his audials only register the sound of his own frame and occasional whistle of wind.

    For the last thirty-nine minutes he's been winding his way through the endless canyons of the Rust Divide that serve as the contest grounds. He's deep into the arena and the rock face on either side has grown immensely steep, the red sandstone walls nearly vertical in places. The distant chatter of the announcers and the crowd at the staging ground fell away long ago.

    The thrill of the chase is almost as good as the thrill of being caught. Almost.

    Summary

    Jazz only makes it thirteen kliks out of the underground Decepticon facility in Colorado before the inhibitor they tagged him with overrides his remaining motor control.

    He's already on his knees in the dirt when Ravage finds him, an unmistakable warmth creeping through his frame. The slug he took to the shoulder must have fragged with his electrical routing, even though he's so heavily modded and loaded up with suppressant coding it shouldn't even be possible for his cycle to activate without some serious medical intervention.

    Jazz evades capture on a botched covert op until he doesn't. Luckily, the mech that finds him isn't at all interested in killing him.

    Summary

    Perceptor is perfectly willing to tolerate a certain amount of personal information about Brainstorm that goes well beyond what most mechs might share in polite company. He’s not a prude, certainly, and intimacy is a healthy part of many mech's lives.

    The stimulation box left carelessly in plain view on Brainstorm’s lab table gives him pause. Brainstorm himself is not in evidence, likely retrieving something from a cargo bay, so Perceptor takes a single step towards it to confirm.

    Perceptor isn’t in the habit of snooping around the lab, but if Brainstorm is going to leave one of his personal projects sitting out in plain sight, no one can blame him for noticing it.
