"I only just started recently looking those things over. I didn't even realize they were around for everyone. Call me stupid or whatever, but again... I didn't think I was important enough! I was just used to being a scout and relaying basic, boring information. I've had to get used to being more than that. It's really COOL!" she just gets giddy and excited all over her own explanation.
"It sounds like one big ol' conspiracy," she nods, and then looks up at the ceiling, like she would be looking at the skies. "I think something out there may have something to do with it. And... I dunno if you could be on science team. You have too much fight in ya." She grins over at him and then punches at the air, "You gotta give some to me sometime. So I can kick some butt in fights."

"If something on the database is confidential, it'll be locked, Firebolt," Breakaway responds. "And I don't think having 'too much fight' is one of the criteria for keeping a 'bot off the science team. Swerve's in med/sci after all, and he's got more fight than he knows what to do with."
The jet heaves himself off the wall and walks around the Rocks. "If you want combat training you should schedule some sim time."

"Well, I guess I have a LOT of preconceptions about things from movies and TV and stuff that I've seen. It's weird for me yanno? Ok, well you don't know," she shrugs.
She perks up, "Ooh! Can we practice together then? You can teach me stuff, and... And I can teach you to play video games, maybe! YEA! And then with the pew pew and the left right up down and aww! I wish we could have a big TV in here right now. Give us something to do instead of... that," she points at the rocks. "Exciting. Thrilling and exciting."

"No, I don't know. So tell me! What's your favorite movie? Mine's Top Gun."
Breakaway frowns with his eyes, mock-offended. "What makes you think I don't know how to play video games? I'm awesome at video games! Except for flight simulators. I always get really into them and try to move my control surfaces instead of the game controller." He turns to look over at the rocks. "Yeah, I don't think the brass would be crazy about the idea of us having a big screen in here."

"You. Like video games!!" Firebolt just looks like somebody gave her a billion dollars. She gets up and then flaps her arms in an excited way, trying to talk amidst all her excitement.
"SO AWESOME!! Ok well, we have to get together than and maybe play some FPSers, maybe some fighters, or some hack and slash... Ooh man. You know how awesome you are, nobody here understands how fun they are so YAY!" She rambles excitedly and then bounces on her heels.
"Oh! Favorite movie. I... Hm. I don't have a super favorite one, actually. I love so many. Action, humor, but nothing that has sappy romance. Funny romance ones are ok. Scary movies are fun too, it's fun to see what those humans can get into. But favorite over all? Hmm...." She sits back down, and thinks long and hard about what movie that could be. To her that could be a question as important as 'What is the meaning of life?'
"I don't know," she admits after a moment, and shrugs. "That really is a tricky question. But hey, we could watch Top Gun some time. Gives us something to plan out doing."

Breakaway raises one optic shade. "Um, Firebolt, we're not the only 'bots here who like video games, or we wouldn't have any on the boat. I've even seen Rodimus Prime gaming in the lounge. It's really not a big deal."
He listens while Firebolt gushes about a few of her favorite things, then responds, "Wow, you really have spent a lot of time on Earth."

"Oh hush you," she waves a hand at him. "Let me have my moments of happiness."
She nods, "Not as long as some might have, but it's kinda all I know," she looks embarrassed and hunches down, looking away. "Kinda makes me feel a little off and different than everyone else here. But hey, what can ya do." She looks back up and shrugs.

OOC: This thread snuck under my radar. Sorry!
Okay, this is getting into awkward territory. Breakaway fidgets with his canopy, the same way a human might rub the back of his head. "I'm sure there's no need to feel like an outsider. Everyone here is from different times and places and stuff," he says, scuffing one enormous foot on the deck. "I mean, we're all still Autobots. Except when we're Maximals or Mini-cons."
The jetformer turns around to look at the rocks again, just to make sure there's been no convenient new arrival to save him from having to talk about his feelings. Nope, still empty. Curse you, Bulkhead and Rev, with your horrible timing.

"Ah... Well, you know what's great about this place though? I feel like I've finally gotten an idea on what I'm supposed to be. Like, I have a purpose! It's really cool," she continues on quite happily before she looks up at Breakaway and realizes that he looks uncomfortable, what with the foot scuffing and all. She shuts up, putting a hand over her mouth (but hoping that it looks like she's yawning... oh who is she kidding, Transformers don't yawn unless they're faking it!).
"WELL," she stands up and puffs her chest out, "Mr. Fancy Pants flying man, what about you? What about any war stories that you have to tell. I'm sure you see things a lot more differently than I do from the ground."
She hopes that was a good distraction.

"It's good to have a purpose," Breakaway agrees.
"War stories? I guess there was the time my squad was holed up in a tower in Tagan Heights. It was near the beginning of the war, me and a couple other military guys were trying to hook up with the main Autobot forces, only we got pinned down by some 'Con heavy artillery." He doesn't mention that said heavy artillery had been friends of his scant few cycles prior. Why they call it a 'civil' war Breakaway will never know.
"So anyway, we're holed up in this tower, barricading all the exits, and the 'Cons were shelling us and sniping us whenever we stuck our heads out."

Firebolt sits down, looking excited and interested as she listens to Breakaway.
"Ooh! Man! That sounds like you were in quite a sh-..." She's about to continue, before there's a terrible screeching of metal. She looks over behind her, optics widening.
There, behind on the pile of rocks is a large mech, face molten and falling apart, and letting a screeching, growling cry, before it staggers forward, falling onto the ground. He raises himself up for a moment, reaching out, curses the Autobots and their existance in Cybertronian before falling down once more. Helicopter blades on his back fall to each side with a loud clatter of metal and scraping against the rocks. He does not move again.
"AAH!" Firebolt yelps and scrambles backwards, running over to Breakaway and yanking him forward, as if trying to get him to deal with it first. "What is THAT holey CRAP!" she points around him at the now dead Transformer laying across the rocks.

Breakaway is patiently waiting for Firebolt to finish commenting when she shrieks and hides behind him and someone starts cursing up a storm. Clearly something horrible is happening, so Breakaway does the only sensible thing, spinning around and shooting bullets at it. Or shooting bullets at where it would be if it wasn't face-down on the floor.
The jetformer cycles his optics in a blink, striding over to the dead Decepticon and prodding it with his foot. "Decepticon, my reality. Pretty sure he's dead." Especially since his head appears to have been torn in half. Breakaway bends down to flip the fallen 'Con over and get a better look at what's left of him. "Ugh, I hate this mold," he says. "Lots of firepower and they don't go down easily." A thought occurs to him and he turns around to look at Firebolt. "Uh, do you know the procedure for a DOA? Because I don't. I know someone's supposed to take the chassis to Medical, but I don't think we're supposed to leave our post."

Firebolt, after pulling Breakaway over, has pulled out her gun and is holding it at the ready, before watching and then blinking as well as the Decepticon falls over, dead. She warily approaches the body.
"Eergh," she winces, and shakes her head, "I dunno what to do... Never been watching when anyone came dead, thankfully," she pulls out her boomerang and prods at the body a few times.
"I think there's a room by the repair bay where... You know. Yea. Ugh," she shakes her head and shrugs her shoulders a little bit, expressing disgust both verbally and physically.
She thinks to herself that this was a pretty good distraction, although it was rather morbid.

"Well, I know that, but we can't just leave him here. Someone has to take the corpse to the storage room." (Sentinel Prime is right, it seems somehow wrong not to just call it a morgue.) Breakaway hefts at the fallen Decepticon, testing the weight. "He's too big for me to carry, which I guess means he's too big for you to carry. Unless you're super-strong?" The jetformer looks down at the deactivated chassis again. "I guess we could just drag him down the corridor, but that seems, I dunno . . . disrespectful."
Breakaway's never had a problem with killing enemy combatants, but dealing with the corpses afterward is a new experience for him.

"Nuh-uh. Not super strong," Firebolt shakes her head. She looks down and then makes another face. "Yuck. His face is melting," she points. She stops and thinks.
"Well," she shifts from foot too foot as she thinks, "As much as we might not like it, we have to move him somewhere. Which... I think means we have to carry it together somewhere. Bleh... You know, when Mr. Xaaron wanted us to learn to work with each other, I don't know if he had this in mind."
