I grow tired of listening to constant lies regarding the state of our homeworlds. Been asked why this... crew... would lie to us. When they stated they would not.

[He snorts]

I ask why they would not.

They wish to keep us here, hmn? Must have been a lot of work to gather us all... why would they want us to slip away? To look for an escape? Waste of all their efforts. Best to keep your prisoners compliant... when there are so many more of them than there are guards. Or, shall I say... crew?

I do not believe their story. Not asking anyone to agree with me, I do not care if you do or do not.

Just saying.

[And the comm clicks off.]

the Decepticons, right?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yes.

[He practically snarls it.]

They are here. Watch yourself.

[whistlesatengineers]

Thanks for the warning. I will.

The Covenant are here too, so you do the same.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am afraid of nothing.

[whistlesatengineers]

Nothing?

[ ... Well heck, he's not sure if that's awesome or insane. ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Several millenia old. Hard to be afraid after all that.

[whistlesatengineers]

That makes sense, sure.

I don't think I got your name, the last time we talked.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Ironhide.

[whistlesatengineers]

I'm guessing you can back that name up, huh?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Of course I can.

[whistlesatengineers]

It never hurts to ask.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Guess not.
