After
the news got out, things were pretty staticky at Autobase for a while. They've calmed down a bit since, but the atmosphere's still a little tense. Bumblebee's talked about the revelation with Sam, and neither one of them really knows what to think just yet. Whatever perspective a little distance can provide is probably useful at this point, which is why Bumblebee is here. Sometimes, even a mech needs time away to think.
Or to be interrupted, because life isn't very big on staying quiet just because you want it to. That's how it goes.
