Punch's paranoia gets the better of him, though it doesn't show on his face. Something so freely given, however, must have strings attached. The Autobot shakes his head.
"No thank you. The less data in my banks that I'd have to explain away," or could be tortured out of him should things go sour, "the better. I appreciate the offer, though."

Mirage half-expected that answer. Still, he wouldn't have felt right, not offering. "You're right, of course. However, the offer stands, should you change your mind at a later date."
"A word of advice, though. If you decide to explore the desert areas, be sure you've plenty of fuel. There are some pit stops, but the energy they provide has some rather... unpleasant effects on one's systems, " Mirage says, a look of distaste crossing his face.
He pauses, then gives Punch a thoughtful look, "Do you have an exit strategy? I'm not asking what it might be; just if you've given it thought." There's no concern in his voice, more like resignation; Mirage knows better than most the risks involved. Chances are, if Punch is caught, he's dead. And it would likely not be an easy death.
"If you can not contact us, we will be unable to assist you."

Punch shrugs. "A situation I'm used to." A faint smile flickers across his expression, and is gone. "At least this time it's all one planet."
He starts to turn away. "Exit strategy is... in the works. But I do give it thought. And thanks for the heads up about the desert." He transforms back into a blue car. "Anything else?"

"No, nothing else. I'll get this to Kup."
The spy steps out of the road, heading toward a cluster of nearby buildings. There are still things he wants to investigate here. Though it's worth mentioning that he doesn't quite turn his back on the other spy.
He murmurs, "Watch yourself, Punch."
Mirage's other explorations can be done off camera. He'll pop up back at base in awhile.

"All right, then," is all Punch has to say to Mirage's statement that he'll get the data to Kup. He doesn't hear the last murmur, but it's all the same, anyway.
The blue car's engine revs, it backs up to turn around, and then it's off.
When Punch has made some distance through various covered, forested roads, he activates the change in coloration that leads him to be identified as a Decepticon. He slowly makes his way through the territories, stopping to inspect this town, that coastal spaceport, and so forth. When he gets back, he will pass on any interesting findings to whatever change of command may exist.
But for now, he just enjoys his time in the company of the only person he dares trust: himself.
OOC: I'm done. Thanks, Mirage!
