[A video broadcast pops up around the base. To everyone's great surprise its Optimus Prime.]

Everyone, I know that the past few days have been difficult for a great many of us. However we should not be discouraged by whatever adversity awaits. As such I am organizing a team building exercise in the hangars at Sakihama Base.

[Optimus' head inclines forward slightly in a polite nod.]

I would like to make it clear however that though this exercise is aimed to better allow us to trust one another attendance is not mandatory.

Thank you for your time.

[2] [HERE AND NOW] [FEEL FREE TO MINGLE]

[As everyone gathers in the Hangars of Sakihama, the 'team building exercise' is revealed... its more or less a large makeshift theater area with enough room for many people. What is on show you ask? Well what it is may surprise you. Soap Operas. Not Cybertronian ones. EARTH MADE Soap Operas. Now this may seem silly, but the reasoning used behind this was, to bond with your comrades by trusting them to see you when your emotions are unguarded. Of course that could just be utter bull.]

[Optimus and Grimlock watch stoically, though there were the odd, occasional noises that imply that if they were human - they would be crying silent, manly tears. Bumblebee, Ironhide and Wheeljack were a little more open on their end with their inelegant blubbering, while Ratchet (still having a slight limp) and Red Alert seemed to be somewhere between those two extremes - and sometimes alternated between them depending on how immersed they are in the scenes. Blaster and his cassettes were handling the viewing equipment and were enjoying the show for everything it was worth. But what of Kup and Cliffjumper?]



"Oh for the love of Primus, why can't you just tell her how you feel Wolfe?! You know she won't get it unless you tell her face to face!"



"Can it Kup, some of us are watch-SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HER OWN BROTHER?! WHAT?!?!"

Yeah, well, he better wise up quick. The writers have gone long enough without one of their infamous 'months', and I bet there's gonna be one soon. If he's not careful...

[Ken seems actually somewhat gripped by the notion.]

I'm at least glad they had that one mechanic person who was really a fugitive not just be a wet blanket for any longer than they needed.

Interesting how they did that whole fake-out with her too... thinking she wanted to just have an abrupt death all that time and when the time finally came...

[She chuckles.]

Also, Ken? The ninja guy they have on the show?

Don't use him as a role model.

I don't even get it! A german ninja! A german ninja!

Though its actually weird to look at how the whole 'Britannia' plotline went. I mean, first they looked set to be major villains, now they're like a fifth of the cast or something.

Though... suppose it works as part of a redemption theme maybe? I mean, I'm sitting right beside proof of how well that can work out.

[He says, looking to Mizuki.]

[Why Ken, was that an outright compliment? She's going to take it as one.]

Probably just a case where writers saw a big blank canvas of plot and region that nobody'd really touched at all. Crazier things have happened.

What's on next, anyways?

[... She looks at the listings.]

"My Other Girlfriend Is A Bioweapon".

... Well subtlety's something beyond them.

"Eh, you don't need subtly to be entertaining." Dido says, munching on some popcorn. She nudges Ken and Mizuki with her elbows.

"Speaking of lack of subtly...the mercenary and the genetically engineered space warrior that always quarrel? I think they have a thing! A special thing!"

Why are all the robots in this either super duper evil or sexy robot girls, though? That's stereotyping!

Because the people who write these are usually boys who like robot girls, Model A [Ashe chuckles]. Don't try to read much more into it.

Hey, they were at least two guys bots in there. Though, I suppose one's more like... an organic robot? If that's even a thing.

S'pose in a way you could consider Mizuki a bit like that, since she was deliberately created. If the Void hadn't been broken early, she would've been 'born' a full grown adult. I mean, even now she's only like, what, ten? If she went to school, I'd be her senior!

"Honestly?" Dido admits. "That one AI that teamed up with the fugitive mechanic to fight those Ayn Rand rip-offs? She really reminds me of you, Mizuki. Tough, determined, not inclined to suffer fools..."
