Excuse me? You are sorry? What do you mean, "whose is it"?

We're very excited about it!

You look exhausted though, Megatron.

What can I do for you? What do you need?

Ksschoosch! Snf. I am fine.

Hhrrrrghhh... OK.

Stop that.

...

What?

The... finial... thing.

Stop it!

I can't control my finials. They do what they do.

Why? What're they doing?

I have met a few. I have no issue with them, providing they carry out their tasks as assigned. When they do – and they usually do – they are better than... others that I could mention.

I hope you were looking at Bumblebee when you said that.

Why? He usually-

"Usually"?

Well... he at least gives Optimus less back-chat than you give me. You are a miserably insubordinate wretch.

I'm not miserable and you'd get bored if I didn't give you a little bit of playful banter to contend with, Megabum.

I think I'll insert myself here. Megatron, I believe you deliberately danced around the purpose of this question.

I have and I guess they had some stored in that little processor - oh they're tryna go for your wings screamer.

*let grab, let grab please?* 0^0

Also has megatron gotten any better yet? He's not contagious right.

*grab grab grab*

No! Leave my wings alone! Owww! Rod! Help!

Aww, but he's cute! Aren't you little guhh-

Haha! He likes your spoiler, too. Ow!

And your doors.

He's a little menace! Ow!

He's just a little sparkling, Bee. You were like that once.

Pretty sure I wasn't, but I know Rod was. He twisted my horn off and poked me in the optic with it once.

... He was too young to understand what he was doing.

Yeah, right. Little help with this one, please?

Don't be mean, Bumbumbee. Hey, Froglet! What if you grab this instead? I got it for Megatron, but I don't think he deserves it anyway.

... A teddy bear?

Yeah. He likes soft things. Especially when he's sick.

Is he any better?

No. The double infection in his torso intakes are particularly stubborn. Lots of rust and thick gunk that won't shift.

Small bot has started revving their engine. It does not like the idea of medic. They're now hiding behind starscream and absolutely enthralled with his wings.

... How do you even know what a medic is?

Little One, come to Megatron. Cough! I am training to become a medic. I am not scary, am I?

Try offering him an energon candy!

That might not be a bad idea, Megs.

The care and fuel is greatly appreciated, however absorbents are not needed. They instead shall sit upon megs servo now.

I had noticed that he has not been... uh... "unloading". I was beginning to think that we might need to get Ratchet and Wheeljack involved, but he otherwise seems fine. Certainly not in any obvious pain or discomfort. No signs of distress at all, in fact.

Hmm... Drift is also good with young ones.

Really? I would not have guessed that.

Perhaps we should consult them. You are sick – we should get you looked at, after that dip in the North Sea. That water was awfully cold and you don't handle extremes of temperature well at the best of times – and a strange sparkling probably should get checked out too.

I do not require a medic.

Your dim optics and sluggish movements imply otherwise.

-plops a green little bot down -

Just watch this till I'm y'all are a responsible lot yeah? Yeah, cool. Do t yell at it or get it sick it will cry

Bye bye!

We've got a sparkling! Aww!

You like sparklings? You said you didn't want-

I know what I said. This one is cute.

Let me-

No! Go away! You're sick!

Yes, I know. But I will have been at my most infectious long before the first sniffle manifested. Snf. He is more likely to catch something from you or Bumblebee or Optimus. Snf. Kshoosch!

Great... germy wretch!

Snf. Starscream...

Starscream. Enough. Let Megatron take a look at the sparkling. Ever held one before?

No. But I have... I have the instinct.

You... what?

The instinct?!

I'll explain when I am ready. Not before. And not with the younglings listening.

OK... so, what does this little one need?

What do all little ones need? Nourishment, hygiene, warmth.

Well... yes. I mean first.

Snf. So do I.

I'll find something to feed him with.

I'll give him a bath at bathtime!

Also how do those things work anyways

They were what? For how long have they been using those things?

Yes, I knew. Megatron, they were developed by a Doctor Meridian. We had been using them for at least ten years before you joined us.

That is unjust! I thought you were "all about freedom", Prime.

Those Decepticons are – were – war criminals.

Froglet! Hi! Come meet Hot Rod. He likes sparklings.
