::Stand down, repeat, stand down! I do not need the cure! You should be as far away from that ship as possible, Smokescreen. Do not attempt to aid me. Accomplices will not be tolerated! …Everything is fine.::

::Why not? Cybonic plague is kind of serious. Seriously, I’m gonna make plans to get on that ship later- gimme a good reason why I shouldn’t help.::

::Because I am… I am trying to help you. Please. I’ll.. I’ll bring the shuttle back and face the consequences, but there is something I have to do before that. The drones will be fine, I promise.::

::Okay, Smokescreen?::

ask-smokescreen:

mighty-megatron:

::N-no! That will not be necessary, Smokescreen.::

::I- We are unsure if the drones have even caught the disease, stasis is just a precautionary measure… We are fine! No one is in distress, everything is fine, do not engage the warship, for your own safety. Please comply. This is not worth your life.::

::Really? Not sure- how aren’t you sure? Relax- I’ve done this before, and no one stopped me then, when I was dragging a giant legendary hammer. I think getting you the cure for a plague should be easy!::

::Stand down, repeat, stand down! I do not need the cure! You should be as far away from that ship as possible, Smokescreen. Do not attempt to aid me. Accomplices will not be tolerated! …Everything is fine.::

::Ok… So you don’t care so much about him, but the planet itself? That makes more sense.::

::Cure? Oh I- the cure is held on the flagship, the Nemesis. We are- we are returning there, just not now. Not yet.::

::Well, that- actually, yes. Exactly.::

::Ohh- wait, why not? Did something else happen out there or something? You know, if you lemme know exactly where it is, I can probably snag it. It’s pretty easy for me to snag things off that ship!::

::N-no! That will not be necessary, Smokescreen.::

::I- We are unsure if the drones have even caught the disease, stasis is just a precautionary measure… We are fine! No one is in distress, everything is fine, do not engage the warship, for your own safety. Please comply. This is not worth your life.::

mighty-megatron:

::Ah… I see. Smokescreen, then. The stasis is staving off what they may have contracted, yes.::

::…If you haven’t defected, why are you… Why are you aiding Megatron? Why are you… curious about this mission?::

::Good- what about the cure? You guys have the cure, right?:: He did remember the story he heard from Prime.

::It’s- I’m helping Cybertron. Megs is an aft, and- wait, I’m allowed to be worried about this! It’s just- that- I don’t want everyone on Cybertron to get infected. That’s reasonable, I think.::

::Ok… So you don’t care so much about him, but the planet itself? That makes more sense.::

::Cure? Oh I- the cure is held on the flagship, the Nemesis. We are- we are returning there, just not now. Not yet.::

::Captain Datastream reporting again. Apologies for the delay.::

::They should be fully functional once revived. Everything is fine, we are fine.::

::Apologies… Sir? I’m honestly not sure what to call you. You’re.. allied with the Decepticons, yes?::

::That’s good, that’s good. So I’m guessing stasis lock’s keeping the disease from getting worse?

Smokescreen. Smokescreen works. And I’m a soldier- and pretty far from being a cadet. I’m helping rebuild Cybertron- I’m not a Decepticon, though.::
