Hey, Smokescreen. My name's Ratchet, though I doubt I'm the one you know. That's just how it is around here! Anyway, I heard you...

[he falls silent.]

...Let me know if I can help at all, yeah?

[Smokescreen is a decently fun Autobot to hang out with. Grimlock decides he could make a fun date to the dance as well.]

Smokescreen come do dance? Me Grimlock want date!

[For Christmas, Grimlock will give Smokescreen a bag of car-shaped cookies drizzled with red, white, and blue sprinkles.]

Smokescreen,

Should you need me, I can be found in the medibay. There was an altercation and my injuries will keep me detained here for some time, but I have been assured a full recovery.

Please watch after Miko and report if anything, or anyone, troubles you.

– Optimus Prime

Hi Smokey ┬┴┤´❛ᴥ❛`ʔฅ

What actually happened to Optimus???? ლ(⋋·⋌)ლ (╯’□’)╯︵ ┻━┻

／(=⌒x⌒=)＼ Ⓜⓘⓚⓞ

[There's a heavy pounding at Smokescreen's door a few hours before the ball. Upon leaving his room, he'll notice a few packages on the hallway: one box, and one bassinet containing Aura Froudine playing with a soft toy. A note pinned to her blanket reads:]

I heard you are one of the few not attending the party. Look after her while I am away. Food, wipes, and toys are in the box. She is to be taken to the disinfection room to purge her wastes every 4 hours. If I return from the ball to see her in unsatisfactory condition, you will answer to me. - Scorponok.

[As he goes about his daily routine, Smokescreen might notice Star Saber in the training hall, training intently with his sword. Instead of his usual slashes, he focuses on stabs, as if he wants to hit the joints of a heavily armored opponent.]

[When it comes time to take a break, he sits cross-legged on the floor, holding the sword across his knees while staring into space. It's hard to tell whether he's clearing his mind of all thought, or if he in fact has too many thoughts to put into order.]

[As he is, Star Saber will notice anyone approaching him.]

For all the failures you brought upon our group at the start of our mission, you really showed your true strength in the end. I admire someone who kills an enemy without remorse.

Keep it up. I can't wait to see what kind of Cityspeaker will be born from this.

[Smokescreen is having an ordinary day onboard the R2 when he returns to his own habsuite. Whatever he's expecting when he opens the door, it probably isn't a spider insectkin with purple hair standing by the window, looking out into the cosmos. Though you've only ever seen her once, you remember Lorelai by appearance, even if her name escapes you. A harvester of the Mother of Threads, and someone who had a hand in the recent change in your destiny.

She turns and looks crossly at Smokescreen as though he had just massively inconvenienced her or was late to an appointment he didn't know he had.]

It's about time.

[She says in a slightly snooty, nasally voice.]

It's rude to keep a lady waiting, y'know.

Smokescreen When we first started, I didn't really take the whole mission seriously, it was just an errand that I had to do for my mother. Now though, I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I should have done better as your healer, and as a result we lost almost the whole team. If only you could have seen the look on Prime's face when he was the last one standing in the very end, after he did the final blow on the Shade. It was the sort of thing that makes me understand what it means to lose something in a way I hadn't encountered before. We did good, but the cost was so high. If you ever need my help again, just call and I'll show up. Next time you see me, I'll be stronger, I promise. Take Care Lorelai

[ While you were away someone has been in your room.

It doesn't look like this someone has really rifled that much through your possessions. Or stolen anything.

How do you know someone was here? There is a tiny plastic human toy baby taped to the inside of your door. So it might not be noticed right off the bat. But when you're leaving again... ]

[ Recently Bass requested some important information. Who... is the strongest Cybertronian on this ship. He received a hot tip that it was 'Shockwave' but also 'not the Senator one'. There were a few thoughts that went through his processor. One... it was really dumb that there were two people here with the SAME NAME. It must get confusing! Two, while he does (surprisingly) know what a Senator is, he has no idea what a Senator looks like. Do they wear signs? Bass guesses probably not.

This leads him to one conclusion: He has to fight BOTH of them to make sure he's actually fighting the strong one.

This leads him to a second conclusion: He has no idea where Shockwave lives. He could ask for direction, ask if anyone knows... but that begs the question... If they know how strong Bass is will they even tell the truth?

There is now one solution: He has to canvas the ship himself and check every inhabited room he comes across.

So there's the backstory. And that's why Bass, armored up in his winged Treble armor (being able to fly covers ground quicker!) is pounding aggressively at your door.

Sorry. ]

[ There is an innocent rubber duck sitting on a chair in Smokescreen's hab. However any attempt to pick that duck up... results in his hand phasing right through it.

Yes he seems to have been given an Intangible Duck. How was it transported here? Who knows?! It's you puzzle to figure out now. ]

Smokescreen. 👋🤖 Just wanted to check in now that we've been back for a few days. How are you feeling after our mission? You did very well. I hope you know the Optimus you originally served under would have been very proud. 💯
