I am an Autobot. I earned my badge.

[His voice shakes a little in anger.]

I'll prove it. I'll make things better. You'll see.

[Locked to Rewind]

Look I.

I don't know. I feel like we should talk. Or something.

...

[He almost disconnects, all the paranoia and anxiety of the past month rising up in a tide. It's only pride that stops him. Pride and desperation.]

...... Know where we can get your needles?

[voice] Private

[needlefingers]

[There's a moment of silence as Chromedome absorbs the meaning of the question.]

Yeah. Ratchet has them.

Find a way to get them and I'll show you everything.

[voice] Private

[triggerhappycopter]

[There's a low hiss of air through vents. Stealing was nothing new, but...]

Any idea where he's keeping 'em?

[voice] Private

[needlefingers]

I'd suggest looking in his apartment. He shares one with Drift and that Wing guy. They're in building 4, I think, so not far from where you live.

[voice] Private

[triggerhappycopter]

Yeeeaaahhh. They're kinda our neighbors now. Hard to miss them.

[He was hoping for some kind of container description or something instead of going in blind. With hands like Spin's lockpicking was a breeze, but he still had a limited amount of time to search around.]

[voice] Private

[needlefingers]

[Sorry bro, that's about all the information he has on it.]

One other thing, and this is going to sound a little bit macabre:

Do you know where they put my body? The dead one?

[voice] Private

[triggerhappycopter]

[Don't you 'bro' him.]

Uh, ground? I dunno, I wasn't at your dumb funeral.

[Would've been more useful to take it apart for spares, really. Autobots were baffling and incredibly impractical.]

[voice] Private

[needlefingers]

Well, you're going to need to dig that up.

Having something to practice on will be extremely helpful.

[voice] Private

[triggerhappycopter]

I'll go... look around or something. Like I said though, dunno what happened to it. Last I saw it, Magnus had it covered on his couch.

[Then Krok got him home and that was that.]

[voice] Private

[needlefingers]

Well it's not like Magnus keeps it in the closet or something. That'd be weird.

I'll take a look around for it, and then give it to you.

[voice] Private

[triggerhappycopter]

So it's not weird to just keep a corpse around somewhere to take up space, but it's weird to put it in a closet. Right.

[He's also not believing that Chromedome was just going to teach him things just like that. It was better to keep that particular distrust under wraps for the moment though.]
