[early Monday morning]

[ecrypted log - private]

Well... that didn't go quite as expected. The whole test flight, an' all. First Aid was right that at least it wasn't WORSE, but... Primus. The thought of what could have happened? How badly I could have hurt Streets? It chills my fuel lines -- it really does.

An' then there's all this... stuff going on with Rewind. I... I dunno why it bugs me so much. I feel like he's... elbowing in on me an' Streets. Between me an' Streets. 's silly, I know. I mean, Streets is my best friend, an' even Aid said so, an' said I meant a lot to him an such...

That made me feel odd in a different way. Like... my engine was runnin' smoothly... warm. Weird. I mean... I do think Streets is the best, and he's my very best friend in all the world and all... an' I'd HATE for anything to HAPPEN to him! Especially if it was my own damned fault. Along with my brothers, he's... he's the most important person TO me.

...Fraggit all... am I jealous of Rewind? Am I bein' selfish? Hogging Streetwise's time? I mean... Streetwise should be... ...IS allowed to see other mechs an have other friends and all. It's his choice, his right. Then... why do I still feel so fragging... It's as if I'm feeling... almost shunted aside. Pushed away. Threatened!

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I know. This shouldn't affect anythin'. This shouldn't affect my friendship with Streets. He likes me, I like him... we work well together! We've still got that picture prank to pull off, and all. I'm... (slag)... I'm sure we'll still be able to hang out together, no problems.

....beh. I think too much about this and I'm going to drive myself crazy. I'm goin' to bed...

[Friday - mid-afternoon; some time before Bolt's call to the others]

Why are we doing this? I mean... I KNOW why... We're Autobots. We help. That's our programming. I just mean... I'm a fighter. I'm not built for construction or rescue efforts. There's no one else here to help, though... it'd take others far too long to even GET here, and these people need the help NOW, so...

I just don't know what I'm doing, honestly. I feel more like I'm in the way than anything. I can't really help, aside from lift and move things too heavy for humans to move.

Humans... Primus... They're so small and fragile! It doesn't take much to HURT them. And... there's just so much DAMAGE about. For the most part, I'm out of the way of most of the rescue effort... They've got me pulling up beams here... pushing back walls there... But every so often, I'll uncover a body. I don't know enough about humans to be able to tell if they're alive or dead. Sometimes it's hard to tell. I just yell out when I find one. I mean... sometimes I can tell. Our bodies are designed to be able to twist and bend and even come apart. Humans... aren't. And all that squishiness! Ugh. I shudder when it's messy. And when I find the odd human body apart like that.

But... these humans... So delicate and weak... They run in there, to each body I uncover... apart or whole or messy or clean or twisted or not... and they just get to work on saving them as best they can. They check the bodies, administer care, set bones and everything... while I'm trying not to purge my tanks while I make sure nothin' falls on 'em, or move stuff so the rescue workers can get AT them easier.

... So fragging weak, but so fragging strong at the same time. I've never really paid attention to humans like this... before now.

*grins to himself as he sat at his desk* Bolt wants a report? I'll give him a report... *sits back a moment, going back in his memories, then grins and starts to type. About three -- maybe four -- hours later, or so, he sat back from his keyboard, grinning, and hit 'send', then commed Silverbolt*

Hey, Bolt... just wrote up my report. It should be waitin' for you in your inbox. *just barely manages to keep the grin out of his tone*

Well, I'm back home, and things are still just as crazy as they ever were. Slingshot and Silverbolt are still buttin' heads about who-knows-what. Heh. Does it even matter? Flight's all in a tizzy about one of these fish he got as pets - I guess - dying on him. I even offered to give the silly thing a funeral, to try and make Flight feel better, but... eh. That idea fell through. Guess Flight just needs to cry it out, probably on Bolt's shoulder.

Flight's got this trip to China planned... I'm stayin' put, though. I've had enough long-distance flying for a while, thanks. X3 Anyway... I'm all filled-up with energon, and my berth's callin'. Barring any emergencies, hopefully I can sleep right through the day.

*is walking down the hall back to his quarters, grinning widely, tossing a small bag up and down in his hands playfully* Heh... gotta have you nice and clean and shiny, for good luck y'know. I'm sure Hoist won't mind me borrowing a little soap and polish to get you all sparkly...

*Stops abruptly, staring in confusion at the yells he can hear... blinking and jumping back, pressing himself against the wall as a big, black, unknown mech runs past, carrying an unconcious Genatria. Then he sees a small, scrawny mess of limbs pulling the lower half of a silver body down another hallway. The bag drops to the floor, unnoticed, forgotten, and he jogs into his room*

[scomm: Aerialbots, Protectobots] Er... guys? Did we invite everyone in to one massive play with the lively and runty puppy, or have I just ingested a batch of very bad energon...? O__O; [/scomm]


((OOC: ETA... the contents in the bag Raid had is not Turbo... But anyone's welcome to find it and/or eat the contents. xD [they're not NORMALLY edible... but I bet some certain 'bots - Dinos or minis, take your pick - wouldn't be able to tell the difference. X3]))

Found these scrolling back through others journals... heh. Some of the results are hilarious! XD
