Mirage shakes his head. " Not Shockwave. Some sniper I've not seen before." Then offers his hand to Spy Shot so the camera may dismount from Tracks if he wishes. "You remind me of Reflector, albiet much smaller. Are you alone, or one of three?"
"Yes, he did Pee-Dee. Later I can pull up the conversation for you, if you like." Mirage looks around the room. "I don't see a junk bin, but there's a small pile of old parts and metal debris across the way. Will that suffice for now?"

Spy Shot merely shrugs in response to Tracks and contemplates asking him what he could do for the camera-bot. He decides against the question, however, as Mirage offers him a hand. Not one to refuse the chance of a new vantage point, he quickly hops over and proceeds to closely examine Mirage's hand.
"I am not alone," he replies to Mirage. "You and Pee-Dee and Tracks are here, too."

"Whoa, careful there," Tracks braces himself as Pee-Dee moves in his arms. He holds himself relatively still though as Spy Shot hops from his shoulder to Mirage's hand.
There might not be too much that Tracks can do for the camera-bot, but if there's anything that Tracks can try, it's at least making someone comfortable or somehow lending a hand.
"This Nightbeat fellow, I've heard his name floating around base before. Never had the chance to meet him though. I take it he's an interesting character to the both of you?" Tracks comments. Man, being behind on current events and news is something he's not used to.

"I'd like that," Pee-Dee informs Mirage. "Scrap sounds good! Just prop me up someplace and hand me a tool!" Any tool. She'll figure out how to make it work.
She looks up at Tracks. "He's the most horrible man I've ever met, and let me tell you, I've met some very bad men."

Mirage shrugs, "Nightbeat is Nightbeat, rough and tumble and more than a little cliched. Fancies himself a detective. He doesn't like me," Mirage smirks, "And I think he fancies Pee-Dee. Remind me to tell you the story of Skyfire's branding party, Tracks dear."
"Pee-Dee's a right femme fatale, she is," Mirage teases the cop, "Who says men only like bad girls, hmm? The good girls are handful enough."
Mirage holds Spy Shot up a bit so he can look him in the face...lens...whatever. "You take things quite literally, do you not? But that still answered my question. Do you want to stay here with Pee-Dee and keep her company?"

Somewhere in the back of his head, Spy Shot is filing away various facts about people as they are talked about. Nightbeat: the most horrible man Pee-Dee has ever met, rough and tumble, more than a little cliched, etc; Pee-Dee: a femme fatale; and so on. All the sort of thing he is likely to parrot back some day if one of these people becomes the topic of conversation.
More consciously, he stares curiously back at Mirage, and replies: "Do I?" He takes things as they are. How else is he supposed to take them?
Moving over to the edge of Mirage's hand, he peers down at Pee-Dee, and deflects Mirage's second question to her. "Do you want me to stay here with you and keep you company?"

The look Tracks conveys at Pee-Dee's comment about Nightbeat is one of surprised disdain. At Mirage's addition, Tracks passes the spy a clear look that says that he'll be holding Mirage to his word on that. "I'll have to take your words for now then."
He takes a look at the pile of debris and junk across the room and looks back down at Pee-Dee. "Just prop you up and hand you a tool? That doesn't sound like an all too helpful thing to do." Tracks has never seen a Junkion in self-fixing action. That and the last thing that he'd want to do is to drop the lady who helped him out of a jam in the midst of some junk. Such an action doesn't seem thankful or gracious in the least to him. "Where would you like me to place you and how can I help?" He waits for her to reply to Spy Shot before making his way to somewhere close to the pile. If it's what Pee-Dee needs, he'll at least have her near it, right?

Pee-Dee blinks her optics at Mirage. "Good, bad - I'm the one with the gun." Admittedly, so is everyone else. But why let little things like facts get in the way of a good line?
"I'd like company," she answers Spy Shot 6.
"Well, it's all I need," she says to Tracks. "Maybe you could make sure it's a useful tool? A hammer will be harder to work with than something like a screwdriver."

"Tracks, it is my understanding that Pee-Dee's type can repair themselves to full functionality with a only a paperclip, some chewy energon goodies, and a piece of twine. Similar to that Mac-bot in the old holo series. If she says she'll be fine, I'm sure she will."
Mirage crosses over to the parts pile and lowers his hand so that Spy Shot may dismount onto if he wishes. Mirage is fairly certain the tiny camera is smart enough to stay out of Pee-Dee's way.
"May I come back and check on you later, Pee-Dee?"

Hopping off Mirage's hand, he looks back up at the much large Autobot and states: "I will stay here with Pee-Dee and keep her company." Perhaps Spy Spot should get a job with the Department of Redundancy Department.
Turning on his heel, he promptly jogs over to the junk pile and climbs into it, seeking out strange new objects where no camera has gone before.

"Well color me impressed if that's the case." Tracks reaches the junk pile and clears a space near the wall before setting Pee-Dee down. "One moment." He gets up and ambles away before returning with a screwdriver and pliers in hand. "Hopefully, these will do." Tracks sets the tools down next to her.
"I'd like to thank you both." He looks at both Spy Shot and Pee-Dee before straightening back up. "If there's anything you might need, don't hesitate to give me a call."
Something twinges in his side and Tracks frowns as he yanks a splinter out of a dent--a very sooty and dirt-lined dent to go with his sooty and dirt-lined form. He visibly cringes. "Unfortunately, I think a shower is long overdue so unless you need me, I shall be making my way to the wash." Tracks tilts his head at Mirage. "Are you still up to the trip?"

"You may call on me at your leisure, Monsieur Mirage," Pee-Dee says as Tracks sets her down. When he returns with the tools and sets them down next to her, she looks up at him reproachfully.
"You could give me the screwdriver," she suggests. "My hands don't work."

Mirage turns a rather rakish look on the dirty and dented sports car. "Me? Turn down a shower with one of the loveliest models around? I'm tired, but not that tired, Tracks dear."
This Tracks has a slightly different look from the Tracks that Mirage knows. Earth mode versus Cybertronian mode, and all that. But Mirage can't imagine any Tracks not looking gorgeous when polished up. And being very aware of the fact.
He kneels down and takes up the screwdriver. "I'll be sure to do that sweet lady, as soon as I am able." He offers her the screwdriver, handle first, mouth-high. If her hands are crippled, that's really the only option left if she wants the tool, but Mirage really doesn't want to just thrust it into her face. Hopefully, she can lean forward enough to indicate she wants it that way, and they'll go from there.

Squeezing out of the junk pile to sit on top of it, Spy Shot replies to Tracks: "I will not hesitate."
He divides his attention between slowly picking his way over the pile, examining various parts, and glancing over at Pee-Dee. Finally, he asks her, "I can help?" He isn't entirely sure how to best go about helping her, but helping seems like it would be... helpful.

"Hm?" hums Tracks, curiously pleased. 'Loveliest models around'? Tracks's stance visibly changes as he straightens and leans on hand on his hip, the other rises to his chest where he thumbs a dent mark. Curious Tracks is curious. Is this comment sarcasm or is someone truly appreciative around here?
Pee-Dee's revelation brings him back to his senses. Tracks winces at his overlook and at Pee-Dee's expression. "My apologies--" Mirage beats him to the offer. "Thank you, Mirage."
