Been Away a While
Sorry this journal has been so quiet lately. I’ve been gone a while. Had to get out of the area; there was all kinds a tension building up, what with the Decepticons being sneakier than usual and the Autobots acting nervous. Saw that Autobot ninja one morning. He glared at me. A real glare, not those only-kinda-irritated ones old bots like Ratchet like to dish out to every mech they meet. Made me paranoid.
I’ve never had to deal with Autobots and Decepticons who were in such close proximity before. It’s a lot harder than just dealing with one or two from the same faction at a time. And both the neutrals here seem mostly interested in information. I don’t like dealing in info; that gets dirty fast. Usually I travel such large distances, any info I might happen to pick up is pretty much obsolete by the time I get to someone who’d be interested in it. That ain’t true here. It’s wearing on my nerves, having to be so alert all the time.
So I went on a little trip, looking for these thunderstorms I keep hearing about. Found one, too, and frag, those’re fun. Just about got my circuits fried. Can’t wait till ‘hurricane season.’
But now I’ve come back and it looks like, how do the humans put it? ‘The shit hit the fan.’ Still not entirely sure what’s happening; I just got here. Am writing this log from the air, actually. Y’know, just in case somebody gets in a lucky shot. Frag, this’d be so much easier if there were only Autobots here, or only Decepticons. Why both at once? Why?
Part of me just wants to leave this planet entirely, but frag, it’s been so long since I’ve been around this many Cybertronians for any real length of time. I’m tired of being in space alone.
Well, here goes nothing.
