"Oh."Nebula sipped at her energon, frowning. "It must have been wonderful before the war." But it won't ever be like that again, will it? she thought sadly. Shaking herself a little, she considered what else she wanted to know. "Everyone had different jobs before it, right?"

Hound nodded, "Yeah, it was nice. To be honest though, even though I haven't been here long, I kind of like Earth a bit more. Something about its organic makeup that I find very welcoming." He shrugged and took another sip before he answered Nebula's question, "Well, some of us. Some of us stayed where we were. Why go changing what you know you're good at if you don't have to?"
~*~*~*~
Redstar wrapped his arms around Cloudburst and chuckled, "Yeah, guess so." He kissed the top of her helm.
~*~*~*~
Raven's shaking hands gently pressed against Rewire's cheeks as she locked her optics onto his. The link between them was always strong, but looking into his optics like this was behond intense and her frame shuddered violently. Sounds of her stuttering intakes and an erratically revving engine filled the air as she went into overload. Never once did her optics wander away from Rewire's.

"Oh. Like who?"Nebula looked at him curiously.

"Hmm... let me think. Red's always been in the security forces, as have I. Ratchet's always been a medic. Yeah, come to think of it, I can't think of anyone who's changed what they do too dramatically because of the war. Maybe they've had to shift the focus of their work a bit but I can't think of anyone who's had to specialize in a completely different field. Well, maybe Prime. He wasn't always the Prime, you know?"
Hound drank a bit more of his cube.

"Really? What was he?" Nebula sipped at her own drink. She knew he was a great leader, so she had to wonder what he had done before the war. "Was he still a leader?"

"How far back do you want to go? Before the war he was just a civilian. Then once the war started he was just a soldier. Like the rest of us. Then the Matrix was given to him and he became Optimus Prime."
Hound smiled at Nebula.

"Oh."Nebula blinked, considering. "Hm."She frowned. "Is it just me, or is it hard to think of him as just a soldier?"

"Probably because you've only ever known him as a leader, but yes, he was just a soldier at one point. Anything else you want to ask?"
Hound leaned back on the sofa. It was nice to have someone to talk to.

Rubbing his back a bit, Cloudburst sighed. "Sorry, then. Are you alright, you don't have to stand if you're tired."
-------
It took some effort not to shutter his optics, but Raven asked, and he couldn't deny her. Rewire felt her energy surge and followed. For a moment he panted hard, then rolled to his side, cradling Raven to his chest despite slumping while systems flicked offline.

"Heh, doncha worry. I'm fine, but yeah, wouldn't mind sittin' down."
Redstar lowered himself to the ground, leaning back against a tree.
~*~*~*~
Raven gently stroked Rewire's cheek as she went offline, one final fleeting thought racing through their bond.
Forever, Rewire. I meant it then, I mean it now. I'll love you forever.
She then went limp in Rewire's arms.

"Hmm..." Nebula looked up at the ceiling and considered. "There was something...but I lost it...oh, wait, I remember. Did you know my dad as a sparkling? I know some of the mechs here did..."

Hound shook his head, "No, I'm afraid not. I didn't meet him until much later on. Sorry."

"Okay."Nebula nodded. She paused, considering and racking her processors before coming up with no more questions and drinking the last of her energon. "I probably should go - I was sort of headed to the medbay to talk to Ratchet abot my training when I ran into you."She paused, then added, "No pun intended. I'll see you later. Thanks a lot for telling me about Cybertron and showing me the holograms."She smiled at Hound and left the common room.

Hound nodded, "It was nice meeting you too, Nebula. Glad I ran into you. If you want to know anything else just let me know."

Nebula waved cheerfully to Hound before the common room door closed and she turned away, setting off again towards the medbay. She moved a little faster this time, eager to find Ratchet and talk to him about her training. After a few minutes, she reached the medbay, paused a moment, then opened the door. "Ratchet?"

"Good." Cloudburst sat in front of Redstar and leaned back, her elbows against his legs. "So you better with FireBond and your dad and everything, lately?"
-------
Ironhide was the training room, he had that pleasant sort of exhaustion that told him it had been a decent round. He really would have preferred someone to spar with, but target training was sometimes enough for him. While his cannons wicked away some heat, the weapons specialist leaned against the wall, huffing through his vents and feeling his coolant systems working hard. Folding the weapons back into his forearms, the black mech slouched to sit on the floor.

Redstar wrapped his arns around Cloudburst. "Yep, I think everything's fine. He's really tryin' to change. And I gotta admit that I think Inferno's dun him a world'a good. As fer FireBond... he's good. I take back anythin' bad I said before."

"Your Autobot shows through at strange moments," Megatron rumbled, idly scanning memory banks. "And I don't put all that much stock into prophecies..."
"But here's some fuel for the processors. We will never be able to go back to Cybertron. It's dead. But just maybe, we will be able to bring Cybertron back. Starting here. With Earth as a staging platform. This is a resource-rich system, after all."
--------------------
"If it's the sparklings, go away. If it's the Twins, out, before I break out the wrenches... oh. Hey, Nebula," the Hummer greeted, scraping paint aside.

Nebula blinked, then nodded. "Hi."She paused to think of how to phrase her question. "Um, about my training...what'm I supposed to do?

"I'm glad. I could see Red Alert was trying, felt terrible I was not in a position to listen what with-" Cloudburst shifted and pressed her back against Redstar's chest, holding his arms around her.
"But FireBond is such a sweet little sparkling, and clambering everywhere is cute. Might be a hellion as a mech, though."
