The Spark Within: Transformers (Various!XOC!)

Cogless Miners

D-16 looked confused, staring at the two that now smiled at each other before turning to him. "Give me what?" He asked curiously, his optics shifting a bit to predict what it could be.

Orion only smirked and leaned on the cart. "Oh nothing," He then took something out from his side, "Just a limited edition, laminated Megatronus Prime decal." The bot then lifted it up to show the shining decal of Megatronus Primes' symbol.

A shine can be seen in D-16's optic's as he then quickly reached for it, but with quick reflexes, S-23's gentle arms pulled him back. "Careful, you'll crease it." She said with a bright grin as Orion then carefully placed the glimmering decal on D-16's arm.

D-16 then looked down at his arm, a large smile on his faceplate as he admired the sticker. "..Wow..its so.."

S-23 then glanced up at him. "What do you think?" She asked.

The bot only kept his optics on the sticker. "Megatronus Prime was the-"

"-The strongest prime" Orion finished for him, now placing a servo on his shoulder. "I bet you feel like that, huh?"

D-16 nodded, his smile still there as he looked at the both bots. "..yeah...thanks guys."

...

The train had stopped at the mining facility, now opening its doors to the many miner bots walking out and ready to pick up their tools and head to their designated groups and stations.

An entire group flew throughout the facility in their own jetpacks, the lead, Elita-one, having a proud smile on her face. "Only thirty more mining extractions until I receive my promotion to supervisor!" She said out loud to let the others behind her know as she flew in front. "You will all continue to follow my lead until then!"

"Yes Elita-one!" The group shouted behind her in determination as she let out a nod of approval to their response.

Once the group got down, they walked towards their selected extraction point as Elita-one prepared to begin the mining process, behind her was Orion, quickly trying to keep up with her pace. "Elita! You're looking mighty shiny today! New polish?" He asked as smoothly as he could whilst D-16 and S-23 followed behind.

Elita-one only rolled her optics as she kept fiddling with the tech watch on her wrist. "I don't know what made you think we're some sort of friends Orion Pax." She waved him off, now heading out quickly to the mining station.

Orion smiled at her with a look of admiration. D-16 caught up to him with S-23 in tail. "C'mon, lets just work." The taller bot said with a bump of his arm, now heading over whilst S-23 gave him a nod of encouragement.

S-23 followed right behind D-16 and Orion pax as she held up her small spear sticks, the other two having their own respective mining tools.

Elita-one then released a signal to begin the extraction, S-23 quickly reacted by launching the spears through the mines to keep the caves from closing in. D-16 and Orion quickly went deep into the mines.

With quick movements and precision, each miner managed to extract energon from the caves. Concentration was key in this area of work as they couldn't risk making a mistake.

S-23 returned outside the cave, taking more spears with her as she assumed those deeper in the mines would need them. However, she suddenly felt the ground shake, she looked back at the cave.

It was silent, before she saw many bots flying out and running out of the caves' premises, Elita-one behind one of the last few as she tried to communicate with those deep within the cave. "Orion can you hear me!? I'm ordering you to get out of that cave immediately!" She said with impatience as she watched the cave, hoping Orion's small group listens to her and actually gets out.
