"You are new, so you are very interesting," Spy Shot answers. "And I would like that."
Standing up, the little camera-bot hops over onto Scrapper's hand and settles himself down. "I can help if you want to go anywhere specific. I've been exploring this area for weeks, so I know where many things are."

"Eh, sure, why not?" Clancy asks. "I'm just tryin' ta meet more bots here. Can't have 'em being surprised by me bein' a Decepticon, ya know?"
Though, randomly walking up to them won't help much, either.

Spy Shot nods. "That makes sense. They might think you're a bad guy, when you're really a good guy."
Peering at Scrapper's finger joints, he adds, "We could go to the gardens, if you want. I like the gardens because they are very pretty and interesting. Botanica would probably be there, though she isn't an Autobot. She's actually a Maximal, but that's pretty much the same thing."

"Botanica..." Scrapper says. "Dat's da plant bot, right?"
Scrapper wonders if the Decepticons have as many strange transformers as these Autobot seem to do. Ah, well. Better get goin'.
"Da garden?" Scrapper asks. "Where is dat?"

Down the tunnel, Boondocker makes his approach - for once, without music playing where others can hear it.
That...has recently been discouraged, at least within the tunnels. This makes for a slightly disappointed hick-bot. However, they cannot keep him from playing it in his head!
Boondocker still wonders how they could dislike George Strait, though. Some 'bots just ain't right.
Waitaminute...
Boondocker stops, peering down the hall. Looks like a Constructicon, but he's wearing a Decepticon symbol. Must be the guy they were talkin' about on the radio. He doesn't seem hostile, but Boondocker's not wanting to risk a mess up.
However, he's not skilled in military ways on greeting a person of unknown alliance. So he does it the way he knows how:
"Howdy!"

"Hey," Scrapper answered back. "Name's Scrapper. How ya doin?"
Scrapper held out his free hand for this new bot to shake.
This Autobot seemed friendly enough. Looks like everything would work out the Autobots out after all! Of course, Scrapper hasn't met Swerve yet...

Spy Shot's attention quickly moves from Scrapper's fingers to the new 'Bot. He's seen Boondocker around before - he never forgets a face - but they haven't met properly before. Raising a claw, he waves at the Autobot. "Hello, I am Spy Shot 6," he begins, then feels the need to clarify, "Scrapper is a good guy."
Glancing up at the Constructicon, he points in Boondocker's direction and adds, "The gardens are in that direction."

Open handshake, and the lil' camera feller says he's good.
Boony grins, grabbing the hand and giving it a good manly shake. "Folks call me Boondocker, an' I'm doin' alright, I figger. How y'all doin'?" he asks, then notes Spy Shot pointing in his direction, and talking about the gardens. Boondocker steps over to the side, chuckling. "Oop, I in th' way?"

"Thanks, bud," Scrapper nods to Boondocker, before walking off in the direction Spy Shot pointed him towards.
Man, he was gonna have a pretty good life soon! No Megatron, or Dirt Boss to boss him around, lots of quality oil to drink. Scrapper could get used to this. He needed a vacation, and now he's finally got one!
Though...Something in the back of his mind tells him that hes gonna have a talk with that creepy Mixmaster wannabe again. If it's battle of wits that crazy 'Con wants...he's probably gonna be the victor.

Looking to Boondocker as Scrapper passes him by, Spy Shot offers, "You can come, too, if you want. The gardens are very nice."
Moving his attention back to the tunnels ahead, the little camera proceeds to point the way down various tunnels. Unless they decide to up and change on him, Spy Shot has a perfect map of a significant portion of the tunnels in his mind. He could even lead someone to the exact location of a rock with a distinct resemblance to a duck. Not that anyone would need a duck-shaped rock, but he thought it was interesting.

Boony gives Scrapper a nod, then Spy Shot invites him along.
"Well, I ain't got anything to do fer a while, might as well. See if Miz Botanica needs anything done, I reckon" he rambles a bit, both to himself and the others.
With that, he follows. And a duck-shaped rock is interesting! Alas, it will have to wait until another time, because Boondocker knows nothing about it. Alas, curiosities get put back when they run afowl of adventure.

So, Boondocker's coming along too? That's great! More for the ride, er, walk.
Following the little camera bot's directions, Scrapper walks through the tunnels. On the way down, Scrapper decides to fiddle with that new radio thing that he apparently had in him without knowing. Maybe he could make a prank call with it or something...
"So, how long've you guys been in dis place?" Scrapper asks.

Spy Shot continues pointing out the correct turns when necessary, and after a quick count back through his memories in order to give Scrapper the exact length of time since he first arrived at the Autobot base, from months down to seconds...
Timeskip
The little camera-bot perks up as the group passes out of the tunnel complex and out into the sunlight. Even if it is getting rather low in the sky, Spy Shot still much prefers the sun to the scant lighting of the tunnels. It makes him feel much more energized and active. Pointing down a small path into the forest, he glances between Scrapper and Boondocker. "The gardens are right down there!"
He's about as excited as he ever gets. Botanica's collection of plants are very colourful and interesting, and they grow. He wonders how much they have all changed since he last saw them.

"Been here a number'a months..." Boondocker answers. "Can't recall just 'jactly how many. Get here a while, and time passin' jus' kinna eludes ya." Then he chuckles. "Or that might just be me."
Timeskip
Once they step outside, Boondocker raises a hand over his face, shading his optics from the sun a bit before they adjust, then heading off in the direction of the gardens, leading Scrapper in the direction Spy Shot indicated.

Months? Looks like Scrapper might be stuck here for a while.
Timeskip
"Woah," Scrapper exclaimed, examining all of the alien, exotic looking plants. "Dis 'sposed ta be a garden or a jungle?"
Garden? More like a Rain Forest.
