Botanica reads over both sets of information with no little interest. Bambi's comment about Optimus, however, prompts her to look up, one eyebrow quirked up.
"You really seem to dislike him. I understand that there was an incident in your time that caused such prejudice?" She sets the C.V's in her lap, "You might talk to Prowl. He is from the same timeline as yourself, and much more interested in preserving life in all its forms than some others."
Did Botanica just shoot Grimlock a dirty look? Surely not.
"As mentioned, I am one of the our Med/Science teams heads, second under Wedge. We've a good range of the sciences covered, but no one who specializes in your fields. I must admit, I'm rather glad to have you; such skills should be invaluable as we travel about. Knowing a place's past can help one understand both it's present and future more fully. Plus, repair skills are always needed."
She smiles, "Rather than just fire off questions, I'd rather see if there are questions you have for us"

Grimlock's head tilts as Bambi explains the CV. "Huh. If me had one, it just list stuff me smashed and punched..."
Grimlock's head tilts once more at the look he gets from Botanica. It would appear she's still sore about her garden, even though that was only an accident. And sure, Grimlock didn't wanna take his punishment at first, but he eventually did, and apologized. And he even respects her now!
However, Grimlock rumbles a bit when Bambi mentions Optimus Prime. "...me Grimlock no like Optimus Prime from my reality either, but me met yours. Him seem okay from what me Grimlock see. Him short, but him big rookie."

"Him Optimus Prime not do it yet. But me watch him, and if him slip up..." Bambi replies coolly, "Just because him Prowl from same reality as me not mean we have anything in common."
Really? Go talk to the ninja because he is your neighbour?
"You no have archaeologist or palaeontologist? Me settle for anthropologist or geologist..."
Bambi shrugs and says levelly, "Me have more questions than time. So. What me doing now?"

Inwardly, Botanica sighs as Bambi continues to grouse about Optimus. Stubborn. That's one similarity.
"My point being, Bambi, that Prowl may have some more information about your brethren, as he is from quite a bit further in time than Optimus," Botanica says, "And he lacks the prejudices which some others here possess."
"But, no, I think we've no one with a focus on those sciences. Elita-1 has a penchant for research and history, I believe. Rattrap used to be a miner, so he has some geological leanings- though his experience is more hands on." She taps her finger on her chin, "Hmm... and Perceptor is quite the mech of all sciences. I'd wager he can converse upon those subjects."
"I've nothing else for you, except to say welcome, and that I am always available. You can usually find me in the biosphere. Do you need a map of the ship?" she asks, as an afterthought.
"Grimlock, did Xaaron have any instructions for her?"

Grimlock nods at Botanica. "Him Perceptor real smart bot. Me think him know everything..."
"Uh..." Grimlock pauses, thinking back, and then snaps his head toward Bambi. "Him Xaaron say you need to go to planet surface, meet Mirage."

Bambi is a bit surprised that Botanica doesn't have an explicit orders for her. She replies, "Map be good. Me make one, but original useful for comparison."
At Perceptor's comment, Bambi wags a finger and reasons, "If him Perceptor know everything, then it disprove free will, 'cos then him know what going to happen. Unless you no include future in everything. But then everything not very every."
She frowns. "Why me meet Mirage? Him Mirage boss?"

gah, I completely missed being up in this thread. So sorry!
Botancia rises and heads over to a terminal to download a map for Bambi. Once done she turns back to the two, one eyebrow raised.
"He's sending her down to Mirage first thing? Dear, oh dear...," she shakes her head. "I thought we wanted to try and better the populace's opinion of us, not worsen it."
She says to Bambi, "No, Mirage is not your boss, nor anyone's. He's a rather flamboyant spy with a bent toward pomposity that is quite vexing. However, Xaaron likes to use him to...take the measure of new arrivals, occasionally."
Botanica had to help clean up after the last time. She is still quite unamused by the whole debacle.

"Me not sure what him Xaaron thinking with it, but me no really care" he says, shrugging in response to Botanica.
He'd say more, but Bambi has rather made his mind overclock itself with the comment on Perceptor.

Bambi acquires Item: Map.
"PR important? Me Bambi try to remember that," Bambi notes.
She's not sure she likes where this is going, the way Botanica and Grimlock are talking about Mirage. A... spy? Do they need her to fight Nazis? Will Mirage inevitably betray her, and she'll be forced to kill him, for Queen and country?
OOC: Wrap and start a new thread on the surface with Mirage and other folks, maybe?

"Er, yes, PR is rather important. Omega crashed on the planet a few days ago and did quite a bit of damage to a populated area," Botancia shakes her head, "Not the best way to make a first impression."
She rises, "Mirage was going to check out the more affluent areas, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure who all might be with him, but here is his frequency." <insert numbers>
"Grimlock, could you see that she finds Mirage all right? If there's any issues, please let me know." Botanica will then leave, if no one holds her up.
OOC: Thread wrap is good. Obviously, Bambi is free to give Grimlock the slip, Grimlock is free to balk, or any combination thereof. I just didn't think Botanica would be all right with letting our stowaway run off on her own just yet.

"That probably why me not get involved with locals. Me Grimlock have bad temper, so me PR nightmare."
Grimlock starts off toward the exit he was headed to earlier, motioning at the smaller Dinobot. "Me Grimlock find Mirage." Grimlock wouldn't miss his reaction for the world!
-- OOC: Thread wrap good for me too!
