[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.]
[She lets out a loud "hmph" and her legs tap impatiently on the ground.]
You're about to set off on a little errand soon, yes? Involving the Cybertronian Cityspeaker Capybara? Well, I'd like to come with you, as that little annoyance had stolen a valuable artifact from the Totem of Destiny's most sacred churches, and I would love to get it back.
A simple, straight-forward "you help me and I help you" kind of thing, yeah?
[ A pause and consideration. Weighing options and then snaps his fingers pointing it gun like at her. ]
Actually not a half bad idea.
[ It's easier to survive when you're in a group and Smokescreen knows he's rather underwhelming as a Speaker at this time. He'll need all the help he can get. Plus now he's curious about that artifact. Not that he wants it, curiosity just likes knowing. ]
It shouldn't be too hard to gether a team either now that you mention it. Better than running solo.

It's about time.
[She says in a slightly snooty, nasally voice.]
It's rude to keep a lady waiting, y'know.

[ He moves over to his berth to lean on. ]
What is it?
