*Scourge sits down at the console, the corners of a smile just showing under his moustaches. In front of him, one screen shows this scene going on somewhere in a room on Charr selected for its safety

*Roddy isn't asleep quite yet. He's getting there, curled up on the floor with his little tush in the air, blinking quietly and fiddling with... something on his person. Something that feels like nothing, or rather a portal into nothing.*
*No, not quite nothing. His fingers contact something hard and faceted. Roddy pulls forth from nothing a white crystal the size of his fist, gleaming with its own inner light. His optics dim and he smiles at his little treasure.*
*As his optics drift off, the crystal pulses brightly, and when the light fades Rodimus Prime in all his thirty-foot glory is lying curled up with his tush in the air. He yelps and flails himself up to a sitting position in a flutter of crayon-drawings like a flock of startled, neurotic birds.*
*reflexively brings up his gun, hastily shifting to shield 'Boots, since he has no idea what frame of mind or lack-of-mind Rodimus is going to be in and doesn't know what to expect him to do*
*mildly irritated* I am calm. *plucks the scribbled page off his head, blinks at it, politely sets it aside*
*blinks at the little human again* That's... 'Boots? Our 'Boots? *She looks more afraid of him than of Scourge, which is an... odd reversal to say the least*
*sighs; to heck with it.* All right. I'm listening.
*puts the gun away, pets his small charge* My 'Boots, yes. She's all right, just had the same kind of accident as you.
...all right. You remember those crystals you found? You sent some to us? Turns out that among other things, they can turn you into... I think Pepper called them "chibis". *rather than try to explain, uses his radio to send the equivalent of a zipped image file to Rodimus, showing him his chibi self*
I put both of you safe here so that you couldn't get into any more trouble until you turned back. It's rather a relief to have you back to normal again, I must say.

Who... what? *glances around wildly* Is... is this Charr?
*sees Gemma, but doesn't recognize her* A kid-?

Yes, you're on Charr, no, nobody's going to harm you as long as you're in your right mind, it's a long story, calm down.
And that's 'Boots, and if you think I'd hurt her then you really have lost it, so don't go off half cocked about that either.
*headshake, mutters* I swear, all your grip's in your tyres...

Probably a good job you didn't try to get the Matrix out... *half-chuckle deep in throat*

*sighs* Well, at the very least, nothing more embarrassing can happen to me for the rest of the day.
