Of Drones and Logic

Absolute Truth Part 2: 3 Days Till Departure

Shockwave grabbed a handful of cards when V said that and all he saw was doodles, just like V said.

There was one drawing of N as a dog, there was a drawing of V as a cat, another drawing of Uzi as a crow wearing beanie and with Solver eyes, and another of both Shockwave and J as rabbits huddled up together.

"Wait, did anyone besides V put a card in the bucket?"

No one answered, most of them stayed in awkward silence while V let out a chuckle and Brawl writing on a slip of paper.

"Of course... This was a waste of my time. Fantastic." Shockwave sighed in annoyance before Brawl raised the slip of paper he was writing on.

"You did not read mine!"

Shockwave sighed, shaking his helm.

"Does it say you want the bucket-"

"Yes!"

Shockwave slid the bucket towards Brawl who happily takes the bucket and leaves the room to do his own thing with V following suit to go find Lizzy.

Grimlock, who had been standing with his arms crossed the whole time, turns and leaves the room. N looked reluctant for a moment as he watched the Dinobot leave before he proceeds to follow him, now leaving Uzi, Shockwave and J in the room.

"Hey, Shockwave?" Uzi started, prompting Shockwave and J to look towards the purple drone.

"I know the most bonding time we did was when I helped you with your projects or during that whole thing with Cyn. I was wondering if we could do something together?" She asked curiously which led Shockwave to place a servo on his chin.

"Well, I have been spending more time with either J or in my workshop. I suppose I could given the time we have. Is that alright with you, J?"

"I'm gonna be organising supplies and equipment we'll need for when he leave. I don't mind you and Uzi having some father-daughter time." J shrugged in reply.

"Alright then. What do you have in mind, Uzi?" Shockwave asked the purple worker who grinned.

"I've got a certain type of video game in mind. Come on." Uzi replied as she began leading Shockwave out of the room as J waved them goodbye.

"Bye, Uzi. Bye, Bunny.~"

Shockwave stiffened the second J called him that, which Uzi looked over at Shockwave in confusion before it slowly gave was to laughter.

"Bunny? Is THAT your pet name?" Uzi snickered in question, which led to Shockwave turning to J, stomping his foot as he did so, instead of answering Uzi's question.

"I told you not to call me that while there's people around!"

J couldn't help but giggle at her boyfriend's little temper tantrum from his initial embarrassment, especially how he stomps his foot like an actual rabbit would when their mad.

It was one of two reasons why J calls Shockwave "Bunny" as his pet name in the first place. The other reason is Shockwave's antenna.

"Sorry, couldn't help myself."

Grimlock strode down one of the hallways of the maze that is Outpost-3, walking past a few worker drones who watched him with wide, hollowed eyes out if the sheer size of him, but the Dinobot ignored them.

He was used to receiving looks like that from his fellow Autobots during the war. Even before Shockwave turned him into a Dinobot, Grimlock was larger than a normal cybertronian: He was even taller than Optimus and Megatron.
