There is a squeaking noise. Then the sound of someone clearing their voice. Then a rather squeaky, //Um, hi!//

//Ooookay.// There's a pause while Nightbeat brings up the ship's specs on the terminal. //Okay, so you're definitely Mayday.// Unless he's Perceptor or Long Haul or something, but he has no reason to lie about that. //She's ship-shape, Mayday. We're running with a skeleton crew, but the 'Cons have been quiet.//

Mayday sighs in relief.
//Are you keeping her clean?// He sounds not unlike a father asking if a suitor is treating his child right.

//Yes, we're keeping the ship clean, Mayday.// Actually the biosphere is getting a bit out of control, and they barely have time to do regular maintenance on anything but the critical systems. Mayday doesn't need to know all that. //Clean as a whistle.//

Breakaway is also silent for a while before he pipes up again. //Hey, random question: can I join the U.S. Marines?//

//You're already an officer in the Autobot military, Breakaway. There are a variety of reasons you can't join another military.//
