Bounce Chamber/ Bridge – Communications StationBlaster wrote:“Away game! We’re gonna go rescue some bots on Sol-4.”
“Away games are always tough,” Eject started saying as the they bounced from the
Guardian to the
Trion, “but we can handle them. Gotta bail out the defense in the fourth quarter.” He responded to
Blaster’s smile with a thumbs up as they left the bounce chamber.
It was the understatement of the century to say he was excited to be going on a rescue mission. Anything was better than listening to the usual comm. traffic, but this was the playoffs!
He followed
Blaster without being told to, with an extra bounce in his step that had been missing for some time. He couldn’t wait to work off some of the rust he’d acquired lounging around, though he wondered if he could still get his sports so far from Earth.
His optics took in everything once they were on the bridge, especially the name painted on the turbolift doors.
The Trion,
is it? Nothing like a new team bus.He stopped to take it all in, wondering what exactly they were going into. It suddenly struck him that he hadn’t asked which Autobots they’d be rescuing. Oh well, he’d figure it out just like he figured out what ship that were now on. He was more of a gameday mech, and not much for practice.

Blaster said,
Blaster wrote:“Don’t get distracted, this is serious business now!”
Eject glared at him with a hurt expression.
Distracted? Me? Choosing not to be indignant, he said, “No more minors for this kid, we’re in the big leagues now.” After turning back to the communications station, he mumbled, “I know every player from the last ten sporting events. Can’t keep up with that if I’m distracted.” With a quick flick of his fingers, the comm. station came to life.
Turning to
Blaster, “Ready for the pregame speech, coach.”
