[Things have died down. And now there's nothing going on but pounding, pouring rain

[Guess who else is out in the rain? Mimmi!

She can't help it. She loves the rain. She doesn't care if it still might be dangerous outside the barracks or that she might run into Tony again or something horrible might happen. It's rain. She can go as she pleases.

So she walks. She doesn't even care that she's sopping wet now.

Her walking brings her near the lake, and she sees a looming figure up ahead. Which turns out to be Ironhide.

The giant robots don't frighten her anymore.

So she makes her way over silently and just kind of stands nearby.]

[Mimmi purses her lips in disapproval, but eventually sighs.]

Do not get yourselves in trouble. The last thing we need is punishment.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You say that like I should be afraid of punishment.

[missmimmi]

It would be wise to be.

[heavyweaponsbot]

It cannot be worse than the ship's were.

[missmimmi]

That does not change anything. If something is going to be done, it must be done in a manner that will cause everyone the least amount of strife should the plan backfire. To do otherwise is stupid.

[So there.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then I will do it myself.

[missmimmi]

And that does not give you an excuse not to use caution. If you harm yourself I will not be pleased.

[Why yes, Ironhide, you are now receiving Mimmi's Mommy Tone. Congratulations.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Gives a perfect excuse. You wanted the least amount of suffering. Only one suffers this way.

[Your Mommy Tone will be countered by Stubborn Old Man Tone.]

[missmimmi]

One is still one too many.

[heavyweaponsbot]

That is not your choice to make.

[missmimmi]

I know that.

[She's just concerned, is all.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then why are you still trying to stop me?

[missmimmi]

[Because she cares too much about people she hardly knows.]

I am simply concerned for your well-being.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... that is not necessary.

[She is not Ratchet.]

[missmimmi]

Of course it is. Someone has to be concerned.
