[Jaruga had been trying out some new things lately because he was bored and hungry. He was forgotten at mealtimes so he never got dinner when everyone else did so recently he attempted to make his own fuel. The first several attempts weren’t successful but lately his fuel have been coming out decent. He only half-way mastered the microwave and could not work a stove, oven, or grill at all. Today however he was going to try to learn how to work the grill. There was no instruction manual or box so he assumed the grey things at the bottom were rocks. He grabbed a few rocks lying outside, put them in the grill, then shot at it with his blaster to ignite them. Much to his dismay, there was no flame and he only succeeded in putting holes in the grill that allowed the used charcoal and rocks to fall out. He stood there frustrated for a few minutes before searching for possible experimental energy samples on the Thunder Arrow. He found some in a room and took a handful then returned to the grill. He set the samples in the grill but nothing happened. Out of frustration he picked up a rock from the floor and threw it at the grill, causing an explosion that sent him flying.]
-Hardshell had been napping on the ground, worn out by stressing over his hive and many of the eggs that had yet to hatch yet. But even as he tried to recharge for a short time, he continued to shift and turn over, producing many unhappy sighs as a result. After sitting up, he glanced around and watched as many of his Hivemates scurried back and forth. He stood up and just as suddenly, the floor gave way. Hardshell growled and tried to claw against something to hold, but as he fell down, he spotted the very familiar portal of the accursed tears.-
Again?! -Hardshell cursed as he fell through and landed on the ground at the other end with a less than graceful thump. He sighed and looked around, rubbing his large claws together. The last time he was away because of one of the tears, his whole Hive became infected.-
-Suddenly, Hardshell heard an explosion close by and looked around expectantly. Enemies? Following the explosion, he saw an unfamiliar frame soar through the air, flying at his direction. He frowned and held up his arms, catching the odd looking Cybertronian and placed them down afterwards.-
That was quite an…entrance?
[Jaruga hit the arms hard and wobbled a bit when placed on the ground. He rubbed his face and looked up to see the towering form.]
Are you a....Death Zone native? You look like you're related to someone I know.
Ugh...my head...
