Shortly after Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

OOC: If anyone who happens to play an Autobot or Maximal flier wants this, please let me and/or Breakaway know! I don't want to take a Cool Thing away from someone who might be more logical for the role.
//...you want me to do your paperwork?//

//I would have phrased it to make it sound cooler, but yeah,// Breakaway transmits back, laughter in his voice.

//Oh, frak a drone,// Skyblast says immediately. There is no real malice in it, though there is definite exasperation.
Then he repeats suggestively, //You would have. That's what you do. All the cool parts.//
Skyblast has not yet said 'no'.

//Aw, come on! You'd get to bask in my greatness on a regular basis! It's the next best thing to being me!// Breakaway says, his chuckling now audible over the line. There are some things even he can't say with a straight face.
//In all seriousness, though, it's not an essential post. I can do my own paperwork. Just think it over, okay?//

//You know, if you wanted me around more, you could have just asked,// Skyblast says smugly. //But mmm... yes, Breakaway, I will do your paperwork.//
Because Skyblast has an ego, and he's flattered that Breakaway asked him.
Also so that he can sneak random pin-ups into the reports. It's not like anyone actually reads them, right? Like tank manuals. Who reads those?

//Thanks! Think we can convince Skyfire to play medic?//
Breakaway would not be surprised if Emirate Xaaron reads all the reports. If his fuel pump seizes up because Skyblast snuck a pin-up into a report, Breakaway will pretend he has never met Skyblast.

Emirate Xaaron has probably seen pin-ups before, since he posed for one. Fuel pump seizure seems unlikely! //Is he actually rated as a medic?// There is a pause, Skyblast swears, and he amends, //I'll look it up myself.// //Signs point toward 'no'.//

If Skyblast wants to fry Breakaway's CPU, showing him that picture would be an excellent start.
//Oh well.//

//Oh, but look on the bright side!// Skyblast insists cheerily. //This just means that we get to peer pressure him into it. Just think, it would be awesome if we convinced him to have repair arms put inside his cargo bay, so injured fliers could fly inside Skyfire in midair, get patched up, and fly back out.//

//I don't think most of us would fit inside Skyfire's cargo bay in our vehicle modes. Definitely a thought, though!//

//Oh, but you transform right before you pass between his doors, and there'd be an arrestor wire set up inside to catch you so you don't skid into his back wall!//
//Then when you're patched up, you just jump back out, transform, dive to pick up airspeed, and fly off.//

//Like a flying aircraft carrier, huh? That actually sounds like a lot of fun! Sure, let's see if we can get him to do it!//

The best thing about Breakaway is that he is supportive when Skyblast gives suggestions that would only work in a steampunk airship anime.
He enthuses, //Yes, exactly! ...okay, how do we want to convince him?//
Honestly, Skyblast just wants Skyfire to turn into a Banshee from Yukikaze.

Breakaway doesn't know from steampunk airship animes, he just knows he likes things that are awesome.
//I figure if appealing to his sense of duty and telling him we really need a medic doesn't work, we can tell him all the cool 'bots are doing it.//
