Evac squints. “I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Are you new?”

[thankorblamemelater]

“Ever get sucked out of a building through the doors?” He asks as though it happened as often as thunderstorms.

Speaking of which.

“Again? I wanted to push my box outside for some air.” Not as fond of the air or it’s on goings. Evac would rather plot how he was going to stay dry, warm and cozy with his budgies. Hangars boomed awfully with the thunder.

[sparkofthestorm]

OKay, he definitely wins the ‘who can deal out the worst training’ argument, I’m not continuing that. He’s in charge of that anyway, at least he has recruits. 

Stormrunner frowned, feeling a little pity for the blue mech. Not everyone shared her love for the thunder. “Oh, your birds?” She lifted her helm to look at the rolling clouds, trying to gauge the wind. “Mmm....Maybe it’ll blow past us.”

“She’s on the small size, but don’t let that fool you. She’s got the strength of a gladiator.”

[sparkofthestorm]

For a little bot, she can jump, wow. I didn’t mean to catch her off-guard… 

Although I did drop down mid-flight. Oops.

…Any chance a bot this small could still be a threat? I’m really doubting it. 

I wonder what she transforms into though. 

Stormrunner offered a big smile. “Hi. Didn’t mean to startle you there, you ok?” …Was she expecting trouble? …I’m being suspicious again, cool it, Storm.

Ⅱ✩ “Y-yeah, I’m alright.” Skyburst mumbled, ducking her helm shyly. She wasn’t that great with strangers, if her behavior right now was anything to go off of. 

“I– what’re you doing out here..?”

[sparkofthestorm]

Okay, she’s shy. 

Stormrunner stopped at her question. I’m totally not out here keeping a comm open for my ex-con friends. That’s definitely not what I’m doing. “Just enjoying an off-duty flight,” she was sure the autobot insignia on her wing was clear now. But that’s really the question I should be asking you. “What are you doing out here, exactly?”

[thankorblamemelater]

“Please I run them ragged day one. If I can’t hurl them out of my front window because someone didn’t use a lapbar I doubt there’s anything you can do to scare them.” His optics roll. There’s always at least one or two who don’t.

[sparkofthestorm]

She raised her brows. Well, it’s not like I could throw anyone out of my cockpit... without major repercussions. Still... “Ever taken a trip a few thousand feet off the ground? If they don’t get the point after a face full of asphalt, they might enjoy the bigger perspective.

“Anyway, yeah. If anyone survives with you, I’ll take em.” 

She was cut off a bit by some thunder in the distance. Right on the Florida clock. Immediately her optics glimmered, deviously. That’s what I’ve been waiting for. “I’ve started to like this swampy bit of Earth,” she was already plotting a flight through the storm front gusts. “Might be a good idea to pull some recruits inside soon...”

Stormrunner did a double take-rather, a double pass over when a tiny, blue bot entered her vision. 

They’re not showing up on my radar? … Well, neutrals aren’t impossible on Earth. 

Another flyer, fancy that. She pulled a quick landing and approached the little blue jet. She’s even smaller than me, and I’m just a trainer, wow. 

Seeing no signs of a con brand, Stormrunner lifted an arm to wave and call out a greeting. “Hello!”

[dfksdljgksjgkv000000000000000-d]

Ⅱ✩ Skyburst flinched when she was called out to, the sudden noise startling her. When she turned around to see who it was, however, she calmed down considerably. Just another bot– another flier, like her! There was no need to be scared.

“Oh, uhm.. h-hello!” She called back, trying to keep her voice from shaking. She really did scare easily, it seemed.

[thankorblamemelater]

“Oh there’s lots of them, how about I send you some of the more pain in the aft ones?” He rubs the back of his helm, scuffing the ground with his pede

“Just doing what I was meant to do. Really. Lot of stupid ideas out there if you really want to know.” He fidgeted. “First night on the actual job and everything blows up in your face and the face of 12 humans who only just got here. Good day.”

[sparkofthestorm]

“If by pain in the aft you mean can follow orders in the cockpit, sure, but keep the troublemakers please.” She allowed a small grin to cross her faceplates, as a devious thought occurred. “I mean, if one of ems givin you a real hard time, I could take them for a thrill ride... Kidding, kidding, don’t need to scare them off. My turbofans can’t pull serious G’s though, so I doubt it’d affect them much, ‘less they got a fear of heights..”

She smiled, raising a brow at his modest reaction. First time on a mission, poor soldier. “Way to roll with it.”

((I’ve noticed a couple things about Sentinel’s “victory parade”

First that he put Blitzwing right up in front so he’d be the first one all the Autobots see rather than the two Starscream clones. Blitzwing has got to be a very recognizable decepticon. Being a triple changer (which is RARE in tfa but also one of Megatron’s best soldiers). He’s right up there in front rather than standing beside the clones. Like he’s some big prize that’s been won. 

And he also says that he will catch the “TRAITOR Shockwave”. Rather than “SPY”. Everyone has already pointed out that he never admits that Shockwave was Longarm Prime. But I think that fact speaks in greater volumes than that. He wants everyone to believe it was an Autobot who betrayed them rather than admit their government had been fooled. And fooled for a very long time. And that really says something about the way that Autobots work to me. They want everyone to believe that it’s more possible for their own kind to turn on them than for their enemy to outsmart them. They’re just as deceitful as Decepticons just in different ways. And by saying that shockwave was an Autobot who betrayed them it would make everyone want to be even more loyal to the Autobots so no one will think they’re a traitor too. 

TLDR: Sentinel is a smug, sneaky asswipe

Evac squints. “I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Are you new?”

[sparkofthestorm]

The young femme’s wings perk at the sight of the blue mech outside her hangar. 

!!! Isn’t that the human transport bot? Street told me about his mission with the allspark shard… 

…and I think his hangar is the one with all the birds… 

“I am,” Immediately Stormrunner swatted her screen of reports aside and went to greet him, extending a servo for a shake and a smile. “Stormrunner. I’ll be training the flight recruits NEST brings in… if they can get any.” 

[thankorblamemelater]

Evac’s optics brighten and he shakes her servo with a grin, “I’m sure there will be some. Not all of them can wanna be ground units with me. Bout time I had a friend to take half of them from me, humans can be real pains in the aft you know?”

[sparkofthestorm]

She gave a short laugh, “They’re an... interesting species,” She hasn’t interacted with many of them yet, but she’s gained a fondness for watching the soldiers around base, theorizing they’re not so different from her kind. ”Though some act like they don’t know how short they are...” Gee, sounds like a bot I know. “Feel free to send me a few level-headed ones you think are qualified.

"It’s... Evac, right? Friend of mine told me about your escapade with Team Prime, you’re a brave bot”.
