"Thanks for the running commentary, Sunny. How 'bout some analysis of our odds of making it out of this alive? What are the bookies giving us? 60-40 odds? 80-20?"
“Yeah, I dunno, Blindy. Maybe it was the way I revealed Prime’s death to Rung,” the former Predacon surmised. “Maybe I should go apologize while you fix those conduits.”
“So, um, Arclight, I’m sorry if I was too blunt about Optimus before. I just like to cut to the chase specially when there's bad news, you know? There was really no easy way to say what needed to be said. It was just better to spit it out than dance around the situation. I figured Rung could handle it.”
“That sounded like laser fire! Either Sunstarch really doesn’t like me or we’re under Decepeticon attack! Time to get these repairs done! Let’s get a move on!”
“Okay, sweetspark, you said something about restoring power before. Show me where to plug these cubes in so we can get Omega refueled. I'll do the heavy lifting, you do the tech stuff. Sound good?”
“Yeah, I see it. Seems pretty straight forward. Even I can do it.”
“Hey, sweetspark!” Howlstrike called over to Arclight as the hull of Omega Supreme shook again from the continuing Decepticon assault outside. “Be a dear and go get that loader drone and have it bring the rest of the energon cubes in here, will ya? That way I don’t have to run back and forth a bunch of times. Would help speed things up since that attack outside doesn't seem to be stopping.”
“We’ll be fine, sweetspark. We’ve got some former Wreckers over on the Longevity defending us, not to mention Omega’s armored plating and shielding is incredibly strong. Even at low power levels, he’ll be able to withstand quite a bit of punishment before the ‘Cons could penetrate the hull. And even if that happened, you’ve still got me to protect all of you. Heh.”
“Not as cruel as keeping him unconscious while we fiddle about inside him trying to fix his systems. At least awake he could tell us exactly what needs to be done to get him fully operational. Besides, Omega’s a big boy. He can handle it. So, I say wake him!”
>>”Blindside, how goes on your end? Fix those conduits yet?”<<
“So, Arclight, are you able to see if Omega’s weapons systems are functioning on that terminal there? Might give us an idea on whether or not he’ll be able to hit back against those ‘Cons outside or not.”
”I... AWAKEN.”
“What’s wrong with you, Blindy? Hit your head or something? I swear I can’t leave you alone for an astrosecond. Heh.”
>>"Fear not, my hopeless Autobot comrades! For I am here!"<<
>>"No need to thank me, everyone! It is of little effort for one such as me. You may hold your applause."<<
