So, I suppose I should tell you a bit about my fellow crew members, so you understand when I start talking about them and how they've gotten us all killed again. Trust me, it's probably going to happen some day, and we won't be able to escape.
So first is Hot Spot. He's in charge of our little team, and he's as heroic as they come. Technically a firefighter by training, he's now just as likely to start one as to put one out. And trust me, he's charismatic. I once saw him simply talk some cons into surrender. And then, in an even more surprising feat, he made Blades happy that they went out without a fight.
Ah, Blades. Him and me, we don't get along that well. We're friends, trust me, but sometimes he gets a bit violent. And by a bit, I mean a lot. Usually with his rotor blades. I once cut myself on one while trying to repair his arm, and man, did it hurt! He found it hilarious, because that's just how he is. You'd think, because he can fly, that he'd prefer to stay in the air, and shoot all the cons down. But no. He revels in the sensation of their energon spaying across his paintjob. He's pretty disgusting sometimes.
Streetwise would probably agree with me. He's a much calmer bot than the rest of us, usually content with flying around the shuttle when we're in space. On the ground is the same- calmly loading up his rifle to strike dead in the optics of his target. I heard a rumour once that he took out Soundwave once with a single shot from 5 mechanometres away. Never asked him about it, but I can see it being true. The only times I've seen him lose his cool is when he's dealing with Vortex, one of the Combaticons. I think they have some history, but I'd have to look it up to be sure. And he's probably locked his record.
The final one of us here is Rook, and he's a bit of a mystery. He's newer than the rest of us; fresh out of the academy, with an accent that none of us can place. I swear it's East Iaconian, but Blades thinks it's Lower Tarn. He's a big fella, I think is the best way to put it. Definitely dedicated to the mission, don't get me wrong, but he seems jollier than he rest of us. A lot more willing to crack jokes and the like. I'd say it's because he hasn't seen as much as we have, but he's already been through some rough stuff. Maybe he just wants to be liked.
So yeah, here's some context, so you'll understand who I'm whining about next time I mention someone's name. We're just approaching the Nintendu LXIV system, so expect some tales soon!
