The sound of footsteps walking could be heard as Thundercracker looked up from fixing the wires in the powerbox as he turned from his work, his red optics scanning the area as he noticed a seeker walking inside which was Firestorm and he looked to be carrying something in his hands as he entered the room. It was some sort of suspicious present wrapped around in black cloth and had a yellow spotted wrapping around it which was tightened to a bow. Firestorm had that smile again, a smile indicating that he was up to no good. Thundercracker soon asked wondering what the self-destructive Decepitcon had up his sleeve again "Firestorm, what is that in your hand?" As Firestorm soon replied to his question "Oh I have something up my sleeve to actually throw off those Autobots!" He gripped the object tightly inside of the cloth.
Thundercracker looked with suspicion before Firestorm left. Great, now he is up to something again. Thundercracker wasn't sure what but he didn't have a good feeling on what Firestorm was about to do knowing his own personality which was self-destructive and impulsive...
Hauler was currently helping Grapple to fix out the walls of the Ark from the battle that happened yesterday as he used his own crane in vehicle mode to bring up a box full of scarp as Grapple began slowly fixing the walls but it wasn't exactly a easy process as it took at least a few hours to fix one huge part of the main area. Without Hoist here, it was a whole lot more difficult to fix complex mechanisms and wires as Grapple attached a newly made wire to the inside of the wall. Grapple got down as Hauler transformed into his robot mode. Grapple wiped his face before saying "I never thought it would be more tough without Hoist here." As Hauler crossed his arms and said "Well he is a medic as well after all." The two Constructibots chatted as it was weirdly hot today, turns out it was humid which made the whole thing even harder to finish off.
"Oh it's hot today." Hauler looked at the temperature on the thermometer which was 36°C today before Grapple said "It was even warmer yesterday when that battle happened." Hauler agreed before remembering the engine room before asking "Is it still in need of repair?" As Grapple nodded "Yeah it's getting cleaned up today." Both of them talked for a bit more until they heard someone go in. They were carrying a plant that had a exotic and honey-like smell. It seemed to be Gears, who didn't appear much these days. Gears still had gashes from the pervious battle and his usual disappointed look had deepened even more. He placed the plant on the window-still as he noticed them and as usual in a grumpy tone asked "What are you two doing here?"
They looked at the red, grey and blue bot as Hauler soon said back "Well we were busy rebuilding." As Gears rolled his optics and asked "For what?" Grapple butted in this time being slightly direct with his statement "Well a lot of areas require fixing, you know?" As Gears rolled his optics before putting his hands on his hips. "As usual those foolish Decepitcons destroyed them." Grapple could immediately feel his mood drop and his self-confidence falling down due to the negativity in this room. Grapple soon heard Hauler leave, presumably to get something while Gears left. "Since when was Gears ever going to be happy?" Grapple wondered to himself.
Meanwhile the sounds of footsteps could be heard running off as they dodged the obstacles and ran off as they panted for a moment before looking upwards into the darkness. They looked back with anger in their optics before running off and escaping.
Ratchet came inside of the destroyed corridor looking around as he thought he heard footsteps from the new medbay as he looked suspiciously, his optics narrowed before going inside of the library. It had a vintage-like look with hundred or so books on a single shelf, it was spacious and there were patterns across the walls. There was cobwebs curling around the ceiling as there was dust and bits of ash on the floor. Ratchet turned on the lights of the library as the dark area became bright and it was kind of a mess.
It revealed a few hastily thrown books that were on the ground, there was a bunch of pencils and crayons on the table that looked to be newly brought and a cup full of stationary thrown at the floor. Ratchet picked those up and put them on the table before examining each of the books. One of them were about locations, another one was about complex mechanisms and the third book was about types of energon. Ratchet looked with confusion before opening one of the books. There was symbols like large black X's and circling over certain information such as chemical-like information and words, it was all very cryptic as he looked through the pages.
Ratchet was busy flicking through the pages before hearing someone come in. That was Fireflight, who was still ever in his own mind as he suddenly spoke "I was about to find you-" Firelight paused seeing Ratchet holding a book before asking "Am I interrupting something, doctor?" With a cheeky smile as Ratchet turned around annoyed at the nickname as he said "It's Ratchet, Firelight." as Firelight shrugged before saying "Well the windows are broken again." Ratchet turned looking annoyed "Again? We will go fix them later. I have to go back to my medbay if you don't mind." Ratchet left as Firelight went to leave as well as he went in the opposite direction.
Red Alert went into the kitchen later and opened the drawer as he noticed that oddly enough one of the knives had been missing, Red Alert looked around in the kitchen for the knife as he looked in the drawers first then the cupboards and everywhere else. He just couldn't find the knife as he wondered who could have taken it. There was a policy of 'No knifes outside of the kitchen' so he wondered who could have taken it as his panic started to rise again. Red Alert immediately ran off as he began examining the rest of the Ark as his blue optics were wide. He felt a hand on him as he turned to see Preceptor looking with confusion.
"Red Alert? What are you running for?" Preceptor raised a eyebrow as Red Alert tried to clear his voice as he stuttered a bit "W-Well someone broke our no knife policy." As Preceptor's expression turned more serious before putting his hand off from his shoulder. Preceptor soon told him that he would go tell Optimus and the higher up before they noticing that Bumblebee was coming in holding a box of screws, nails, cogs and other things inside of the box. They both looked as he went to another room as both of them agreed to speak about this and left the area.
