[psynergon]

[ There's a small adolescent-aged human in the security office. He shouts into the room and upon second glance the kid would be holding a dead scraplet in his arms. The thing is almost his full size. ]

Is the head of security here! I need to talk to someone about a pest I found! Hello! I don't want to wait, I walked a full mile with this thing!

[legalcy]

[Minimus almost throws himself into the armor at the sight of a scraplet before he realizes that it is dead and - most likely - cannot harm him. The next thing he does before he can properly respond is notice the small human that somehow carried this here.]

Yes, speaking. [He stands on his chair to peer over the desk.]

Are you sure it's dead? Where did you find it?

[psynergon]

[ Wow these things must really be an issue to make a mech jump like that. Security at that!

Kicker eyes the room and sets it on the floor. ]

Yeah, my buddy's cassette bird killed it. But I sensed it and I felt wrong leaving it as it was. I thought I should bring it here as evidence we might have a problem.

The saying goes where there's one there's sometimes twenty.

[legalcy]

Yes. Of course.

[This will have to be brought to the attention of the Vehicons. Minimus is already starting on the email.]

I'll have the area closed off until we can find from where the pests are coming. You've done well to alert me.

[psynergon]

I could be of assistance... I mean not that I care to be. But I did find it I might as well put myself to work locating threats. [ He scratches at his head and looks away. ]

You're Autobot right? Your side is okay? If so Optimus would want me to make my abilities known to the higher ups if need be, and this feels like a 'need be' situation.

[legalcy]

You'll need weapons to better defend yourself. Scraplets are vicious when they are hungry.

[He glances at the locked container of weapons.]

I don't think I have anything fit for human sizes. [And looking back at Kicker.] I don't report to Optimus, he's not even the Prime from my universe. We're meant to create a truce between the Autobots and Decepticons.

[psynergon]

No shush. Listen to me. When I said I found the Scraplet I mean I sensed it without seeing it. I don't care about any of that other nonsense.

I came from a universe where we had ten years of peace between Con and Bot till Megs woke the fuck up. So your truce I'm not here to disrupt.

[ Kicker points up at Minimus. ]

I'm psychic, nimrod. And while I'm not gonna spill it to every Autobot ever, you seem like a guy that's trustworthy. So listen up. If I sensed that scraplet I could probably sense more.

[legalcy]

[Well, give someone a helpful suggestion, and they get offended. Minimus wonders what in particular got the human angry.

He calmly finishes his email before responding to Kicker.]

Psychic. What kind of abilities do you have apart from sensing the locations of other beings?

[Might as well see how helpful he will be if he were to join the security team.]

[psynergon]

I can track and locate Energon deposits. I was used a dowser for a while. But never mind that.

I can also get pins about future events, life lines, and well I never really got it I could talk to Alpha Q telepathically across space...

[ He crosses his arms. That'll teach him for trying to shove him off and dismiss his help.

At least that's what Kicker believed.... ]

[legalcy]

[There's furious typing on the online form.]

In that case, you will need a partner for exterminating these Scraplets. The Vehicons are trained to maintain the ship systems, but they could use your help in finding their hiding places before preparations.

[...]

Hold on. I think the humans will want to be sure that I'm not hiring someone too young for this position. [It's easy to tell that Cody is a child. Verity was in a difficult age range.]

[psynergon]

Yeah yeah. I'm sixteen, not a baby. I'm old enough to work. It's not like when I was a child and mined Energon. [ He crosses his arms and looks up at Minimus. ]

[legalcy]

[He stares a bit.]

You mined Energon? Where? [He would comment on child labor laws, but those don't exist on his planet.]

[psynergon]

Outer galaxy when I was little. Dad would take me to asteroid belts to see if I'd sense any...

But like Ironhide says. I gotta shove that aside. That's the past. I'm old enough to work and you'll need me if the Scraplets are as dangerous as Soundwave says.

[legalcy]

So you were helped by Soundwave. I can have him as your partner as you-

[A familiar name!]

You knew Ironhide? How? Do you recognize anyone else on this ship?!

[psynergon]

He's my partner back home. But from the sound of things he might not be the same as yours. My Ironhide is a rookie mech just making a name for himself with the Autobots. [ He shrugs ]

Though I do recognize an Optimus here and Hot Shot. But they have their old frames from when I was eight so .... they won't know me.

[legalcy]

Ah. Yes. Ironhide is a well-established Autobot in my world. [Were humans even around when he was young?]

Then you may regret to know that the Megatron from your universe is also here. I don't know what happens to him by your time, but he has a violent habit. He's even killed some of our crewmates.

...

We all come back to life, however.

[psynergon]

I'm not surprised but dammit, even here?! He was dead for ten years in my verse. But when he came back he reignited the war using Unicron's corpse as a base.

[ He gets a snarl ] I don't know if he's this bad yet, but don't let him be un-supervised. He has a habit of reformating and erasing his Decepticon's memories.

[legalcy]

[A long, tired sigh.]

I will add that to his list of crimes.

[psynergon]

He's been that much of a pain, huh? [ He sighs as well. ] As for partnering me up with Soundwave, he'd be like the small one. Small? You're all giant its so jarring to think of any of you as small...

[legalcy]

The smallest one. [He will not deign to use any of the nicknames the rest of the crew created.] Have you made an official application with Captain Sparkarrow on what occupation you will have? There’s the security team, but I’ll need your official notice before I can officially send you on patrol. Until then, you have to plan out the attack yourself.

[psynergon]

Yes sir. That I can do. Not the plan it myself, I'm not stupid... but the whole getting permissions.

[legalcy]

[A nod.] Good. I will pass on this information to the Vehicons until then. Thank you for your notice.

[It's all just part of the formal process, after all.]
