The hum of engines fades into the gentle rustle of wind over the Autobot outpost. The air is calm, the sun warm against metal plating, and the sky stretches endlessly — a rare day of peace after weeks of missions.
Lancelon: leans back against a boulder, helm tilted toward the sky “Never thought I’d say this, but… quiet feels weird.”
Bumblebee: grins, tuning his radio softly “Yeah, no explosions, no Decepticons, just… chill. Kinda nice, huh?”
Windblade: folds her arms, wings flicking “Don’t jinx it, Bee. You know how that goes.”
Nearby, Fixit hums cheerfully as he fiddles with a half-disassembled drone, muttering diagnostics under his breath.
Lancelon: glances over, visor gleaming “He’s been at that thing for hours. Think it’s ever gonna work?”
Jazz: laughs from his perch atop a crate “Hey, let the bot dream. We all need a hobby.”
The sound of distant waves laps against the shore. A few birds pass overhead. For once, Cybertronian metal feels at peace under an Earth sky.
Lancelon: softly, almost to himself “Guess even warriors need moments like these.”
