[NPC mode] Just killing time...

[golden_ego]

*Sideswipe and KC headed over to the lounge for some energon and relaxation to pass some time. Sideswipe had the time to kill anyway until his next watch standing guard outside. And of course, his audience in the med bay while Sunstreaker was getting repaired was still most unwelcome (despite Ratchet's absence

*accepts the offered cube gladly, taking a sip before placing it down on the table in front of her staring at the softly glowing substance for a moment before looking up with a mild frown on her face*

I dunno, 'Swipe. I just don't get why they thought they had to use tazers to restrain him. He probably wasn't even tryin' to be that threatening. *sake of the head and another sip from the cube* The human authorities seem almost paranoid about the whole virus thing, and there's somethin' about how seriously they're takin' it that kinda worries me.

I think Sunny tried to call Jazz n' Prowl at first, but they an' a bunch of others were in that officers' meeting I've been hearin' about. If I'd happened to've been busy when he called me, an' there wasn't nobody else around who could've gone to help him at the time, I dread to think what those people might've done. I mean, have you ever heard of a bunch o' highway cops gettin' the Feds involved jus' because some Autobot's been speedin' on their watch

(( Heh... I hate it when I do that too. Also thought I had the 'anon' setting turned off... ))

*leans shifts his weight in the stool a bit, nodding*

Yeah, I hafta agree it was weird they didn't "do the usual" for speeding though. We never got in trouble like that before.

.oO( Slag... if only I was there, instead of digging little fragging holes. )

But if you said they were on edge about us getting too dangerous for their tastes, that could explain why. Humans... they seem to get really skittish when they get threatened like that. Ever hear about that one horror spoof, War of the Worlds? Or Aliens? Top that off with Megatron going on all those raids for stuff, and then Prime's little 'problem

"Humans... they seem to get really skittish when they get threatened like that. Ever hear about that one horror spoof, War of the Worlds? Or Aliens?"

Yeah, I know of 'em. I think it's probably just human nature to be suspicious of what you aren't familiar with or don't understand, but still... I'm actually kinda appalled, to tell you the truth. I doubt the Knight Foundation would've treated Sunny the way the Feds did. But then we Knights didn't always get along with the Feds anyway... *allows herself a chuckle before pausing to drink from her energon cube*

"So are you thinking about going back to talk to them yourself?"

*mulls over the question for a moment* Mm. Maybe. I'm thinkin' Prowl might already be doing exactly that, an' I wouldn't mind bein' there while he's questioning 'em, jus' so I can hear what they have to say for themselves.

*Wanders past the lounge door in her half-hearted search for Sideswipe, then slowly edges back over to the door after having caught a glimpse of him. She debates for a moment, then walks into the lounge as casually as she can manage to act at that moment, going over to get a mug of low-grade (not foolish enough to try high grade this time...that's a disaster asking to happen) and gives a small wave toward the others in greeting. She remains by the energon dispenser for a few moments, undecided on where to sit.*

[golden_ego]

*Sideswipe's own internal speculations about whatever it was that Sunstreaker did to get in so much trouble was making him uneasy again, since he hadn't the chance to talk about really happened with his brother yet. He gladly took the distraction that Chanah unknowingly provided.*

Ey, you're welcome to sit with us, if you want.

[belle_in_silver]

Thanks...*Smiles and takes a seat, then drinking to avoid looking at KC right away. She sets the mug down and gazes off at the far wall for a moment while trying to formulate some words.*

[golden_ego]

*turns a little in his seat, looking curious now*

Oh, hey... how did that date go?

*only becuase he couldn't think of anything else to start off a conversation with her*
