"Greetings, Kup," Silverbolt says. "I was told that I was to see you for a security briefing."

Well, Kup was rather surprised by the first Maximal he met. But he's gotten used to them by now.
Kup is presently standing on his metal berth, scribbling on the wall over it with a piece of chalk. If one looks at it, it appears that he's working on the Rock Watch rotation schedule.
Slingshot's name is up there an awful lot.
As Skyfire and Silverbolt enter, he turns and hops off the berth, then sits down on one end, leaning against the wall, and gestures to the other. There are chairs in the room, but they're not really big enough for Skyfire, and a bit too small for Silverbolt.
"Yeah, that's right," Kup explains. "Pretty much a formality in your case, though - you've got folks who can vouch for you, even if you don't know 'em all, and we've already got your reality on record, so this should go pretty easy."

"Silverbolt, you'll be fine with Kup, and he can probably point you in the right direction from here. Kup, I was on my way to stand nav watch, so if you and Silverbolt can excuse me for now?" Skyfire gives Kup a friendly nod and waits politely for his reply.

"Farewell, Skyfire," Silverbolt nodded, before flying up towards Kup. "So, you are to ask me some questions?"

"See ya', Skyfire," Kup gives the spacer an absent wave. Then he bends over and pulls from beneath his rack a... sheet of metal? On it is scribbled an assortment of unreadable symbols, pulled from a hundred different languages and a thousand other things as well.
"Yeah, I'm asking you some questions. So, your name is Silverbolt. Lemme know your function and your skills, huh? What're you good at?"

Skyfire gives Kup a friendly wave and departs for the bridge.

"While I do not like to brag, I must say that my nose is quite fit for tracking," Silverbolt says. "For instance, I could race Skyfire's trail out of this room about an hour later just from his scent."

Kup glares over the top of the metal sheet at Silverbolt, tapping the metal sheet lightly with the sharpened metal 'stylus' he's using to etch things into it.
"So, I ask you for your function, skills, and what you're good at, and you tell me you got a good nose, huh? That all you good for, then, or are you going to make me guess? 'Cos you know, I ain't in no mood to play twenty questions here."

"Well, I was only getting started sir," Silverbolt assures Kup. "Back in my, er, reality I served as an aerial assault as well as an Aerial scout on my team, as our other flyer, Airrazor had left on a scouting mission," Silverbolt began. "But, it seems that there are multiple Autobot flyers here, no doubt more capable of fighting against the much bigger Decepticons than I am. However, I believe myself to be a capable warrior in my own right. If I am needed to fly and fight side by side of my Autobot brethren I will do so, even against the largest Decepticon. For is it not our duty, Autobots and Maximals alike, to drench out the fires of conquest and tyranny, so often spread by our Predacon, and Decepticon, foes?"
As Silverbolt spiels his cheesy, noble spiel, you can almost hear the John Williams music in the background. After all, the Autobots, being the heroes and legends they are in Silverbolt's reality, no doubt believe the same thing, right?

"Well, your spirit's in the right place at least," Kup answers, grinning his approval. He makes a few scratches on the metal plate in his hands, then nods. "And actually, we've got a use for warriors of all sizes, anyway. Hell, you're just about the right size to deal with that little blue jet-thing the 'Cons have with them."
Little. Blue. Jet-thing.
Uh-oh!
"Now, from what they've been saying on the radio, you're only kind of recently woke up, right?"

"Yes," Silverbolt says slowly, hoping there isn't a problem. "Not too long ago."

Kup shakes his head and leans back against the wall. "Nope, not really," he answers cheerfully. "Just confirming that you wouldn't have much else in the way of your world's situation to tell us, not that we don't already know."
He makes another mark. "You're a tracker and a warrior. So you could go Intelligence or Military-Security. We tend to lean towards non-Military, because the other divisions are smaller, so... you got any reason I shouldn't put you in the Intelligence division?"

Silverbolt shakes his head. "No, sir! I will gladly join the Intelligence division. Just tell me who to report to!"
Silverbolt is here to help. Though, he would like a little familiarity...
"The other Maximals," Silverbolt starts up. "I would like to join them after I am finished here. Where are they located?"

"I don't know," Kup answers with a shrug, tone annoyed. It's nothing personal - Kup often sounds annoyed. "Maybe their rooms, maybe bridge duty, maybe the biosphere or whatever. Just radio 'em and find out. We don't have a designated 'Maximals stay here' area. We're kind of trying not to treat any one group different from the rest."
"As for who you report to, that'll be Rattrap, actually. So, the guy you know what doesn't know you. have fun with that."

"Thank you, Kup," Silverbolt responds cheerfully. "If I am permitted to leave now, I would like to do so."
No reason why Silverbolt shouldn't set out and get a bit familiar with his surroundings.
