SO BUSTED. Wow, who knew Jazz could be so scary when he decides to act like the boss? I'm betting that's the force of his ability right there; be the pal and friend 90% of the time, so the minute you get serious then everybody wets their armor. I was cowering in my seat! And poor Bee is just stewing with guilt right now, which I bet Jazz can smell. He doesn't even have to know, he just has to keep looking at Bee like that and sooner or later Bee will break. Jazz is Jazz, after all.

The scene in which Jazz had to sit in the hotseat was just as good. I love reading Prime's impression of Jazz, his admiration for his talents, his respect etc... but no trust. Nope, none of that. He'd be a fool to. He knows exactly what Jazz is capable of, both in terms of competence and morals, and he rightly doesn't take his optics off Jazz for even a second. Thank Primus he's on your side, indeed.

Mirage, Mirage. How are you going to explain yourself, and more importantly, shouldn't you already know that Jazz can always make you? It would have been smarter for Mirage to tail Prowl. Big slip-up, and now you're about to pay the price.

Oh Jazz is a scary, scary mech when he wants to be. And although his team know that (which practically no-one else on the Ark does) it still catches them by surprise when he lets loose. And you're right: Jazz doesn't need to know what Bee's been up to, he can smell the guilt. (I think the same's true of Smokey, by the way)

I'm glad you enjoyed Prime's introspection about his wily TIC. He does like Jazz, he's known him for a long time, but no there's no trust. Jazz is a mech who does a particular job for him, and he does it well, but it's not a job Prime likes or even really approves of.

Mirage and Bumblebee are going to have to face up to their boss and if they're very lucky the worst that will happen is a serious growling. But who knows if they'll be that lucky?
