"...and this is it." Endeavour gestured through the open hangar door, inviting Jeimu to come inside.
The scene that the dimunitive human met was something right out of a happy-family television drama, except that the hangar was littered with giant robots and a few humans: Ironhide, frowning deeply, his bulky form settled in the middle of the room, polishing himself with what appeared to be a large jar of turtle wax; Jazz, snoring lightly on his back with a very happy-looking Honey perched atop him, also snoring; Bee and Sam were playing Halo 3 rather enthusiastically. Bee was winning. Sam wasn't too happy.
Jeimu stared. "Impressive. D'you have DDR for that Xbox 360?"
Endeavour shuttered her optics slightly. "What now?"
"Never mind. So what is it that you do here? You don't have anything to wax, or someone to play Halo 3 with..."
"I'm an engineer -"
"That's awesome-"
"- of sorts. The tinkering and fixing and all that is totally Ratchet's forte..."
Jeimu stared at the silver-and-white-and-black Autobot and grinned a grin that put the 'bot a little on edge. "Oh really. Sounds like my kind of ... robot. You'll have to introduce me."
A nanosecond's pause. "Sure."
