39th Transmission - [Video / Backdated to the morning after the Victory Party.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The video is accidental. What one can see, at first, is the tiny golden arm of a frog. Specifically, C4. The frog peers into the camera for a second before becoming bored and hopping off.

This leaves the screen clear to show off the rest of the room. Amidst the piles and piles of random objects, including but not limited to, a lampshade, books, a small blackboard, golf clubs, little bottles with plants inside, toy boats, a shovel, stuffed whale, soil samples neatly labeled, stuffed dog... and so on and so forth. All of it is very organized.

And, of course, sprawled out in the center of the room is a pile of black metal... and a pile of neon metal, stretched out on top. Ironhide has an arm draped over his companion, whose head is resting comfortably on his chest. Neither of them appear to be awake.

The feed cuts out... but the comm is still very much on.]

Hey! Why don't you cut back on the robo-porn, 'kay? There are children here.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[There's a loud thunk sound as Ironhide fumbles to turn off the annoying voice...]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[... wait. Voice?]

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

The... it... There was no porn!

[heroicasshole.livejournal.com]

Hey. I'm not gonna judge. Frankly, I don't give shit what you do behind close doors. That's your business. But don't nobody wanna to see it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I did not--I was not showing anything.

I believe that whoever has educated you about the mating habits of our kind has done a questionable job, if you believe that this is the equivalent of your 'porn.'

Unfortunately, it would seem that both my companion and I... indulged in too much energon to the point of forced stasis. I believe humans consider it... 'passing out'?

[heavyweaponsbot]

[... why are you so much more coherent right now?]

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

[Because it's never a bad time for science.]

[Hello, Ratchet. This Hancock. This is also Hancock not caring about whatever it is you just said.]

[He's very used to that expression - he often gets it from Ironhide as well. It is not enough to stop the science babble. :|]

I could better educate you, if that would solve the problem. After all, this all seems to be a misundestanding.

[Groggy, thick voice from 'Kaela!]

...Cute.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[More flailing. Where is that voice coming from...?]

Mmnf. Need a new... alarm.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

'M not an alarm.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Huh?

[Video]

[thepartydude.livejournal.com]

Dude, gross.

[Audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[There's a grunt, and thunking sounds as Ironhide tries to find the comm. He thinks it's an alarm clock.]

[Yes, he's really only here to apologize for Mikey.]

[...and also because he might be curious, okay?.]

Ignore Mikey, please. He lacks tact

...And, apparently, manners.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[A low growl. He's not in a good mood this morning.]

... So I noticed. How long... was there video feed...?

[Audio]

[tic-tech-turtle.livejournal.com]

[Don notices that, and keeps his explanation as concise as possible.]

The video feed runs for thirty seconds. There wasn't much.

[Audio]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[The growling trails off in a grunt. Don has passed the cranky test. For now.]

Good. Not sure how the piece of scrap turned on... Should just throw it out the window.

[skin-and-steel.livejournal.com]

[He whispers into the comm, feeling as though he's intruded on something private.]

Uhhh, mind cutting off the video?

Audio

[heavyweaponsbot]

[There's a thunk sound as Ironhide fumbles to turn off the comm--it's just an alarm clock, right?]

Hmn?

Re: Audio

[skin-and-steel.livejournal.com]

I don't know what the hell you guys were d-doing, but you might not want the comm so close when you do that.

Audio

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Silence.]

...

The... comm...? Is on?
