Having already offered up his own frequency earlier, Goldbug pulls ahead to the next questions.
"Not a lot for us to be doing right now, unfortunately. I'm still reviewing the tactical data on the Decepticons and our current situation, and but once I do, I'll have a better idea of what we need to be doing. "
He goes on, "Intelligence work isn't the kind of thing where being able to check in regularly is always possible or even smart. So we'll mostly be meeting like this in as an as-needed basis, and I or Rattrap will probably check in with you on a more individual basis."
More likely him, but it never hurt to include people.

Holi dutifully catalogues the frequencies he receives, murmuring a cheery little "thank you" and nodding to each teammate in turn. This really is going over just as well – maybe even better – than he'd hoped it would. Everyone has been nice enough to chime in; Goldbug, Airazor, Rattrap, Synapse, Mirage, Nightb–
Wait.
"Um… Nightbeat? Sir?" squeaks the Micromaster. "I'll need yours, too…." Well, and Gizmo's and Jazz's frequencies as well, but with neither of them present, he'll have to go track them down later.

On the whole, Nightbeat would prefer as few people to have his frequency as possible. But he can't come up with a plausible reason to deny Holi.
"Wha? Oh, sure, kid. It's <frequency>."

Late? Jazz? Well... yeah. Somewhere between trying to decipher a usable alphabet structure from the glyphs given to him by Kup, and finding what looked like a good source to begin with, Jazz found a story.
Maybe it's a story. If it's translated correctly, it's the story of a Gillanian named Dhec and friends Gayn, Cpot, and Bhab. . . But he could be wrong, and it could be instructions on how to make a sponge cake. Still. Jazz is approaching the area where he was supposed to be... wow. A while ago. Jazz does know when listening is better than talking. Sometimes. Big friendly grin. Not even a bit sheepish at being late.
Blame it on distraction, or the compelling adventures of Cpot and his ball.

If Holi seemed just the slightest bit anxious about approaching Nightbeat before – and he was, just a little, because Nightbeat has that gruff, distant sort of air about him – his nervousness virtually evaporates at the detective's words and cooperation, even if it seems a shade on the grudging side.
"Thank you, sir," Holi says, beaming happily with success and accomplishment before scurrying over to Goldbug. "I'll get to work on the secured channel soon, Commander," he reports. "Once I get Jazz's and Gizmo's frequencies." He's on a team again, a proper team within the Autobots, specialised and all, and he's a contributing member of that team. Why, nothing could cheer him up more than this right now.
Except maybe the arrival of a missing teammate. Well, now Holi doesn't have to worry about interrupting Jazz's work, does he?
"Jazz, sir!" cheers the young Micromaster with a grin that threatens to crack his little face wide. "Glad you could make it!"

"Hey there!" Jazz grins, "Just delayed. Maybe you can catch me up later?"
Jazz'll give the frequency as long as he's not distracted. Seriously. Studying the others in this team is what he needs to do right now, so he can know what name goes with what face and bodytype. Then the fun part. Finding out more about them.

"Thanks, Holi," Goldbug says, nodding slightly. "And glad you could make it, Jazz!"
Odd, to have Jazz defering to him. Back in his own universe, Jazz had occupied a position somewhere around second or third in command, depending on the time of day. He and Prowl had balanced each other well, each serving Optimus in their own unique way. When he'd risen in the ranks himself, they'd treated him as an equal, no longer the little brother craving their respect.
And here he was, part of the command structure for this time and space tossed group of Autobots. quite the accomplishment.
He spreads his hands. "I don't really have anything else right now, so unless someone has questions, you're all free to go."

Only a million questions, but as he missed the meeting, Jazz will have to play catch up with someone else.
Perhaps it is a bit odd for Jazz to defer to Goldbug-- but he's got his own assignments that make it more practical to allow someone like the small yellow guy to get some practical experience in command. And there is no Prowl to balance him out here. He's been on his own as a second in command for a very long time... Maybe someone realized that while Jazz was second to Optimus Prime in his home, he wasn't necessarily special ops material.
Unlike whatever counterparts he may have in their universes.
"Looks like I didn't really." Jazz apologizes in his own way. "I'll do better next time."
And he will. This Goldbug is no little brother who needs to crave respect-- he's a brother who is an equal. Jazz will not test him.
Holi will get frequencies with no problem. Not like Jazz is about to keep it a secret.

As, dismissal. That was what Mirage was waiting for. With a curt nod and a wave of his hand, he heads off.
OOC: and Mirage is out

Rattrap showed up, he behaved himself, and the meeting seems to have gone off well enough. Quietly, though. Guess it's just what happens when you convene a bunch of spies and scouts in one place. Information doesn't get shared telepathically and nobody seemed to be making data transfers. There'll have to be more talking if – when, maybe – this happens again.
For now, Rattrap just tosses a half-afted wave in Goldbug's general direction and ambles off to go do… stuff. Best not to ask.
OOC: Outta here.

Airazor gives Goldbug a nod of acknowledgment before taking off and flying away. Most probably don't want to know what she'll be up to anymore than what Rattrap will, though possibly for different reasons.
OOC: And she's out.

Holi has questions! Well, a question. And it's for Jazz, not Goldbug. Sorry, Goldbug. Holi gives his commander another salute before stepping away to be effusive at someone else for a while. And when that's done, he can go bug Gizmo.
"Jazz, sir, if I could get your frequency, please?" he wonders. This could only look sillier if he had a clipboard in hand.

Synapse glances around at all the departing mechs and then at Goldbug. He gives one brief bob to the division leader before moving away.
OOC: Synapse out.
