[The voice that suddenly booms over the journals should be familiar to some.  And, if not, it's certainly loud and attention-getting.  Someone is clearly unhappy.]

This... is a lie. It must be. It cannot be possible -- not again!

[A pause.  There's some mechanical shifting while the party in question tries to remain calm.  There is also a sound

/gathers Ironhide up

[brynkitten]

[He sounds so upset, but Bryn can't help but ask.]

This has happened to you before?

[brynkitten]

[Did she say something wrong? Oh dear. She hopes he doesn't think she doesn't want to know him, or maybe even possibly be friends!]

I...I'm very pleased to meet you though! You...you seem quite a bit nicer than the other one that I met.

[She looks a little uncomfortable here.]

He really...didn't like humans I think.

[Video]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am not... nice.

[He just sounds tired when he says it, though.]

... there are some of us who do not.

[Video]

[brynkitten]

Oh! I...I...you just don't...seem to loathe the very sight of me. Nicer. I'm sorry.

[She's apologizing a lot. Please don't shoot her like Sunstreaker tried, Ironhide.]

Did...did humans do something to give them a reason to not like us?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He almost says "we were friends" -- but something stops him. Maybe it's that he just doesn't have the spark to get into it right now.]

Not bothered.

[He falls silent for a while.]

... Yeah. They have. Sometimes.

[brynkitten]

[Bryn looks relieved when he says he's not bothered.]

I suppose that explains his attitude then. There must have been something said or done to give him such a poor attitude toward us...

[She pauses a moment, then offers a shy smile.]

I hope your friends arrive soon, Ironhide.

[Video]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Probably.

[Excuse his short responses, Bryn. He's just in the process of getting his spirit slowly crushed to a fine powder.]

... Unlikely.

[Video]

[brynkitten]

[Bryn would be horrified to learn that was happening, especially if she knew the reasons, although it would also confuse her so very much to know the full story.]

Well, still. I'll keep an ear out...

It was nice meeting you.

[Video]

[heavyweaponsbot]

If... you hear from Ratchet... tell me.

[Video]

[brynkitten]

[She nods immediately.]

Of course, I'll be sure to find you right away if it doesn't seem you've heard from them before me.

[Video]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Yeah.

All right.
