...Really?

That's the name you decided on for my journal? Well great, now NO ONE is going to take me seriously. Not even Hoist.

[Why are you so surprised? You even admit to it.]

You know what, frag this. I'm going to Swerve's.

Jazz's visor lights up just a smidge more at the sight of a 'bot they all thought to be dead. Thanks to that he doesn't know about Trailcutter's name change.

Trailbreaker! Mah man--! Oh, wait, don' leave 'Breaker. Don't take it too personally, dude, it's a mun kinda thing to give their pups journal names like that. [grin] You should see the names of some of the other yahoos my mun's got in her headspace.

[gimmicky]

J-Jazz?

You're here too?

[He hasn't seen you since...well, you know. That whole quantum leap incident.]

[doinitwithstyle]

[Oh Primus, 'Breaker. Your face, man!]

You act like you seen a ghost or somethin'! Yeah, it's me, and I'm here too.

So wassup? We all thought you guys kicked the bucket, t' borrow an Earth phrase, in that explosion. There wasn't any trace o' the ship, an' only a little bit o' debris.

[gimmicky]

Considering what I've been through, a ghost sounds pretty good right now.

[There's a soft huff with that.]

Wait, you guys think we're all dead? I mean, some days it feels like we're going to die....

Actually a lot of days are like that, but most of us are still kickin'.

[doinitwithstyle]

We even had a funeral for ya, man. Just as y'all cleared the atmosphere the ship just went "BOOM!" right outta nowhere. And then, of course, there was hardly anythin' left so we naturally assumed everyone got slagged t' the Pit and back.

[Jazz doesn't miss that "most", and he pauses.] ...Sounds like you cats have gone through some crazy scrap. I was hopin' it would be a little better than all we've gone through back on Cybertron.

[gimmicky]

Yeah...we're still alive. Somehow, after everything.

You could say that. After sparkeaters and failed Quantum jumps? It's been a blast!

[He just won't mention his little time with Lockdown. Not just yet.]

[doinitwithstyle]

A sparkeater?! Holy--! How in the world did a sparkeater get onto your ship? Unless it's been trapped there for a while or somethin'.

[Jazz shakes his head. Man, oh man.]

Failed Quantum jump, eh? I wonder if that had anythin' to do with the first explosion we saw. If so, man, it's a wonder y'all were still in one piece.

[gimmicky]

Beats me how it got on, but I'll tell you, this whole trip's been one hell of a joy ride.

...

[Wait]

What's happening with Cybertron? I thought Bumblebee and the others were trying to reform it.

[shutthehellup]

Hey-hey! Trailbreaker! My favorite customer!

Or is it still Trailcutter? Or something else?

[gimmicky]

[Oh good! It's Swerve. At least he can get some drinks out of this...]

Let's go with Trailcutter. It's worked for me so far.
