[accidental video] - southeastern sector

[As promised, the world endserupts in explosions here and there and everywhere one random night. Why wouldn't it, right? Sure, this is all fun and games, or is it?]

[It's not quite, not for this little mech the camera has seen fit to track, as is apparent from his screams as he darts behind this piece of rubble and that, trying desperately to get to that broken down building right over thar. Whatever has caused these massive craters around him, it clearly isn't finished, and he's right in the middle of it.]

[He lets loose a last cry as one particularly shiny explosion catches him right near on his aft and makes a wild dive for the ruined entrance - or at least, it might have once been an entrance at one point - and scrambles to get back up from the floor to slam his back against the wall, optics wide with frightalarm. He presses a palm to his chest to help steady him because omfg what is going on even this is cray. He could fight back if he could at least see what he'd ticked off, but there's just nothing there! That same hand is lifted and two fingers go to the side of his head]

Master Drift! Slipstream! Please, respond! We are under attack!

[And he has no idea where he is. And please are you alive. This isn't Earth. This looks more like Cybertron. But it's not. Scrap is going down. What happened here what even is going on this is so not Kansas anymore STOP SHOOTING AT HIM]

[Whatever that little drone thing was that was near him, he hopes it... Oh. There it is, right in front of him. He stares at it. His mouth moves to say more. And the feed drops there.]

[His drone lets out a “whoop” and will search through the network to find these two. It won’t manage to, seems their drones aren’t with them...]

[Breakdown grunts.] I’m sure they’re fine, just separated from their drones.

[He vents a little huff of a sigh and settles himself back onto his seat, legs folded.] I hope they are okay.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

......I'm sure they will be.

[It's a lie, but it's a lie he feels is necessary for the young bot.]

[still_learning]

[He's not sure that it will be true himself, and he hates hiding here like a coward, but he already knows he'll be about useless out there, even if they could fight what's going on.]

[He'll just sit quietly and pretend to meditate... and fidget a little. He never was good at this.]

And call this one here?

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Yeah....but it’s a nice lie to believe. He doesn’t like it either, but even with his battle-grade armor, going out into those explosions is asking for it, and it’s not like he can just...smash someone and end them, so...]
