"Well, I did just get through telling him," Rodimus mutters quietly. He frowns as Prowl's answer to his question of the armor really fails to answer anything, and crosses his arms. Well, Kup'll get it in the interview, he guesses. He doesn't so much as bat an eyelash as Scrapper sneaks out. Part of him feels sorry for the guy, but the other part just remembers what happened last time he trusted Decepticons to hold up their end of a peace. Fool me once...
"Since we do have familiar faces for all sides, I don't see why we can't break from here to catch up," Rodimus notes, looking around.
Kup frowns at Rodimus. "What about the security interviews?" he asks. That motorcycle Prowl seems awfully shifty!
Rodimus waves it aside. "Later, Kup." He gestures towards Optimus. "Look, Optimus can vouch for him, right?" Then he looks towards Optimus. "Just make sure he knows the basics, including the chain of command, Optimus, and we'll worry about the interview later." Then he looks at Kup. "I've got Blurr's."
Kup frowns. "Uhm, lad, you sure that's a good ide-"
"I've got Blurr's," Rodimus interrupts, repeating firmly.

Noticing Scrappers hasty getaway, Skid-Z is reminded just why he was so happy that his shift was ending! "I do believe I can go and train away my excess energy now" He says while dashing for the exit.

"Sure did," Blurr tells Optimus, "what with you already being introduced and all and I'm not slow on the uptake, not me, not usually but not to say I don't have my moments. Everyone has their moments you know, even I do but not very often because it'd just be downright silly of me to be that slow all the time, now wouldn't it?"
You're starting to babble again, Haywire supplies helpfully in a drowsy tone. He sounds like his head hurts as much as Blurr's. …Worse than usual, anyway. Blurr stops to frown sternly at his partner because Haywire knows he isn't nervous, he's just uneasy and Haywire knows why he's uneasy because Haywire was there too. The Nebulan is just being a brat; Haywire knows it and Blurr knows it and doesn't particularly appreciate it.
But he seizes on the distraction of security interview talk – ah, so this Prowl and this Optimus Prime know each other, okay – and how Kup and Rodimus seem to be… arguing over who interviews him?
Hey, Blurr, we're popular!
"Something wrong, guys?" Blurr asks, deliberately ignoring Haywire.

Ah, a handshake will do just fine! Prowl grasps Optimus' hand tightly in the shake, nodding a bit eagerly, especially for his usual personality. But this is an unusual situation. It's fine to act a bit different.
Prowl is silent for a few good moments, just letting everything settle in. He crosses his arms, spinning the wheel that is situated on his wrist idly as he listens. An interview, hm? That should prove interesting indeed. Maybe he can get a few answers about this place in further detail as well.
Without a word, Prowl motions that he wishes to leave as well, seeing as it was said it was time to catch up. He watches Optimus carefully, finally speaking a bit softly, "I have a lot to tell you about what shall happen," he says.

Optimus looks sheepish, almost as if somewhere there is a person staring at a monitor and kicking himself for not noticing Rodimus' introduction for Optimus.
Optimus nods in the affirmative when Rodimus asks if he will vouch for Prowl. "Absolutely, Prowl is completely trustworthy." He might not think so much about his teamwork ability, but that can be told later.
Optimus kind of stares at Blurr as he speaks. He was pretty sure that this one reminded him of someone, but then that voice. "...I.. there is someone else named Blurr where I come from. He looks similar, but he talks exactly like you do. It's uncanny." When Rodimus is firm about referring Blurr, Optimus shoots Kup a confused look. What's going on here?
To Prowl, Optimus says, "I bet. As Rodimus told you, I've got a lot to tell you, too. There's a lot you need to know about this place and what's been going on."

"See ya', Skid-Z," Rodimus says, waving after the race-car. He makes note on Optimus's comparisons to his own Blurr, but doesn't say anything on the subject - some level of repetition from reality to reality has been pretty much the norm, after all.
Kup catches Optimus's confused look, but returns it only with a shrug. He's not going to go over his concerns with Rodimus standing right there, and he's not going to challenge Rodimus himself any further. When Rodimus asks, "So, Kup, have you got this until the relief arrives?" Kup shrugs and goes back to leaning against the console.
"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

"Someone else who talks like I talk?" Blurr gives Optimus a confused stare of his own and Haywire does his partner the favour of echoing his thoughts on the matter.
"That's… actually a little frightening," says the weapon still in Blurr's hand, trying not to chuckle. Blurr just rolls his optics, but he's trying not to smirk. Haywire's good humour about it is infectious.
"So!" he says instead, turning a grin on Kup, whom he must grudgingly leave behind so he can go through this interview Rodimus mentioned, "I guess I'll catch you later then, Kup? I suppose you could catch me first but it doesn't matter who catches who so long as we can catch up, right?" And he's behind the counter again, offering his free hand to the old Autobot for a friendly shake before he takes off.

Prowl is well on his way out before he pauses.
Did that gun just talk?
Oh, it's going to be one of those experiences. He casts a glance to Optimus that clearly says 'You had better be ready to explain this' before he walks outside the room and waits for Optimus.

"Not just talks the same way as you, Blurr--He has your exact voice." It's one thing to have someone who looks similar, with a similar name, but to talk like him? Weird.
...And then it just gets weirder. His gun did just talk! This is new to Optimus, too! But Prowl needs to be caught up. So Optimus will go and do that. "Uh, it was nice to meet you." Optimus says quickly to Blurr, before offering a farewell nod to Kup and Rodimus before departing.

Kup grins and returns Blurr's handshake as the speedster virtually appears in front of him. Fortunately, he's used to this. He smirks. "I'll catch yo- well, okay, I doubt I can catch you, but we'll talk later, Blurr," Kup answers, then settles back in to wait, giving Optimus and Prowl polite departure nod as Rodimus waves to them.
Then he turns to Blurr and fairly beams.
"Blurr, I can't tell you how great it is to see you." Then he waves towards the exit. "C'mon, we'll head to the observation deck. "Seems like for once, you're the one who has to catch up."
OOC: Rodimus out. Kup will post next round only if necessary.

"Sure thing," Blurr tells Kup, "definitely gotta talk later." And he knows better than to tell Kup not to forget, because if this Kup is like the Kup he knows, then he won't. It's like Kup never forgets anything. He just takes longer to recall some things, but if Blurr had that much in his memory, he'd probably take a little longer to mull it over, too.
That said, Blurr is away from the counter as fast as he was there and following Rodimus out.
"Just have to rub it in, don't you?" he wonders with a chuckle. "Can't leave it be and it isn't even my fault!"
OOC: Gone like the wind!
