Swindle takes a moment to quietly facepalm. Someone remind him why he didn't just take Skyfire alone? Ah, right, because he is a social creature and loves the company of his horribly annoying peers.
"Frenzy, stop acting like an overcharged Junkion and just act like a sadistic Blurr like you normally do. Skyfire, maybe lock out your internal controls?" Swindle suggests as he boards, sagging suddenly under the heavier gravity.
Yeah, this is going to be a fun trip.
Some time later, we find our heroes (or our protagonists, anyway) approaching the asteroid field that is their destination. Swindle is in Dark Skyfire's cockpit, or control cabin, or whatever he has, looking out the front window. Hopefully the company has been tolerable. "We're almost there, folks," he calls over his shoulder.

Ravage is sitting on his haunches in a corner and staring straight ahead. The big cat is trying valiantly to ignore Frenzy, who has spent the last leg of their journey bouncing around Ravage and yelling "Not touching you!" in every language the little freak knows.
There is a small colony on a moon near the asteroid field, though colony is a bit misleading. It's the spacer equivalent of the dive truck stop. There's a few ships propped up on blocks that don't look like they've moved in a few centuries, and the obligatory restaurant off to one side. It's called the Good Eats Cafe. The fueling station has pretty much any fuel option one could want for a ship, except energon.
The asteroid field is far enough off that mining it won't bother the people at the shuttle stop. However, at least one person on board Skyfire really needs to stop at the shuttle stop before they return to Ship.

ooc: skipping folks due to lengthy time outs.
Ravage, Frenzy decides, is really, REALLY boring. Not even an errant tail flick, and Frenzy refuses to give in and actually break the arbitrary rules of engagement he's adopted for this encounter. With a chitter of profanity, he finally abandons Ravage and returns to Skyfire's forward cabin to watch the approach to their destination.
"Rocks."

Duskwing flexes his wings slightly and gets up from his seat against the bulkhead. He shuffles forward to stare out the bow windows.
"Huh. We there yet, or you break down in some other rock field?"

"No, this is the right rock field," Swindle replies, glad that the spiky children are behaving themselves and he doesn't have to turn this shuttle around. Frenzy and Ravage's parents will be getting notes about their behavior. Well, Ravage's parent will, anyway. Frenzy's parent would just laugh.
"Skyfire, drop me off on that small moon there, would you? I'd like see if I can secure some extra fuel for the trip back. Can't be too careful, you know."

Skyfire feels a certain relief as Swindle takes over the pilot's chair. Much preferable to Frenzy with his button mashing. Which...tickled. But he can sense the others getting restless. What do they think? This is some trip down the hall? He is flying his best.
"I have not broken down." He sounds a little...upset. He's scrupulous about maintenance. Just because he's terrible as a substitute medic doesn't mean he doesn't know enough to maintain his own systems while Space Exploring.
"I assure you I have sufficient fuel for a return trip." It's like nobody thinks he's competent. However, he could use a break to check his upholstery. For tears and...is that a leak he feels?
He quickly swerves to land on the small moon.
