"Thank you," Spy Shot says to Perceptor. The scientist keeps providing him wonderful things to use, he should really do something in return. Like show him pretty pictures! Who doesn't like pretty pictures? Being able to show his recorded memories off properly in three dimensions would be even better. There's just something lost when projecting images as two-dimensional clips and shots on his screen. He has seen so many interesting things he could show someone.
He gives the strange door one last scrutinizing glance, then turns to better view the city. "I want to see everything."
Returning to his earlier thoughts, he glances up at Perceptor and says, "I can show you the Allspark and when it became small at some point." A truly grand thank you gift, indeed.

Adding Perceptor's additional explanation to what she had figured out before, Oracle nodded after a moment. "I think I get it then, thanks." It wasn't likely to be all that useful information, isolated from any further understanding of the room, but that was alright.
His question got a shake of her head. "I'll come back and play around later, like I said, once I know how to work things in here. Some sort of obstacle course might be good for Spy Shot though, eventually." She remembered why they were there in the first place, even if she and the others had all gotten distracted again. That seemed to be a trend.
Oracle is also hardly surprised at Spy Shot's declaration he wanted to see everything. Everything was an awful broad request though.

Perceptor chuckles indulgently at Spy Shot. "In time, I am certain that you will," he replies. "However, today, I believe that Oracle is correct. Let us begin with the course I promised you."
He steps over toward the reappeared door, beside which, a small panel has now also appeared: a compact console. He rapidly keys in a some commands, codes in some new parameters, and suddenly, the scene changes to a different part of his Cybertron. Something that resembles an almost human playground with ramps and tubes and poles spaced throughout an open field confined by a low wall. The sky above, however, remains unfettered.
"Do remember, however, Spy Shot," Perceptor instructs as he turns back to the other two bots, "that you cannot spend every moment here. You must make time for recharging and refueling."
Pot? Kettle? You have something in common.

Spy Shot nods in understanding at Oracle and Perceptor. "It will take a long time to see everything. Learning to use my transport better will help make it shorter." Though in the scheme of 'everything', being able to move ten times your normal speed will only help a very little. But a little is better than nothing.
As Perceptor keys in the new location, the camera-bot immediately sets out to explore it, starting out with making a wide circle around the playground at four-times speed. Navigating in gradual curves isn't so difficult. He pauses for a moment as he rounds the opposite side and stares at Perceptor.
"I must?" he asks, sounding a touch confused.
Why can't he just recharge his... his... Hm. He's not actually sure what he stores energy in, actually. Perhaps batteries? Well, whatever he has, he's not sure why he can't recharge it or them in here as well as anywhere else. Not that he intends to spend every moment in here anyway. He has a ship to explore.

The appearing console gets a curious look, before her Oracle's attention is stolen by the changing landscape. That's actually rather nifty, that things can change while you're in the room. She does a quick flyover of the new obstacles to get a better look at them.
Oh my, Spy Shot is maybe the one they should have been worried about getting addicted to this place. For some reason that makes Oracle laugh as she circles around, then comes to a landing for the moment on top of one of the walls. "A break is a good thing Spy Shot, no matter how much fun you might have here."
Advice to remember, sim room or other distraction. She's not that great at keeping it in mind either though.

"Yes, Spy Shot," Perceptor chuckles, nodding. "You must. I do understand what an incredible temptatio0n and tool that this facility is, however it is not going anywhere for the forseeable future that you are not. I commend your desire to learn, but rest and refuling must be achieved to maintain a state of optimal function."
"Now, why don't you work on your control of your pod while I give Oracle a quick explanation on how the controls and programming works, and then when she is comfortable, I can do the same with you? Yes?"

Spy Shot's head tilts to the side as his confusion grows. "Can I not rest and refuel here?" He glances around. "Is it too dark?"
There certainly seems to be plenty of light around and he hasn't started feeling tired like he does when he's in a room without lights, but perhaps simulated light doesn't work the same way as normal light? Perceptor obviously knows some reason why this room isn't appropriate for resting and refueling, but he really can't see why not himself. Then again, Perceptor knows many things that he does not so it's not especially surprising that he knows a reason that Spy Shot can't figure out.
Shrugging it off, he says "Okay, yes," to the scientist, and proceeds to roll up a ramp and disappear into a tube.

Pushing off the wall she was perched on and soaring over to a landing near Perceptor, Oracle shakes her head. "I think he's stuck on the literal. He can recharge in here I'm guessing, so why shouldn't he? Interesting way of thinking." Very straightforward, even if that sometimes itself threw her for a loop. Which was kinda funny.
Watching Spy Shot vanish into one of the tubes, she shook her head. "At least he's getting practice in, even if you do end up modifying how the ball works. Good to know how to use it free moving in an emergency anyway." Though in that case, it still needs breaks and a horn.
Turing back and grinning at Perceptor, Oracle shrugs. "Anyway, so what can you show me, without changing the room and upending Spy Shot?"

Perceptor sighs indulgently as Spy Shot vanishes into the obstacles. He is young; he will learn.
"True enough," he agrees. "Although I am not certain precisely how much I will ultimately alter the essential function of the pod just yet. But I will ponder that issue later. Now, let me walk you through the functions of the controls..."
