GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point about rent, taxes and four-million-year-old spaceships. And the fate of indegenes the world over. ^^;

Slightly testy, absentminded Perceptor is slightly testy and absentminded! <3
...aaaand mischievous. You gotta watch the quiet ones.

I love Skyfire's ruminations on having people inside him. Even for a TFormer that might be a bit disconcerting.

Ack, no. No popping humans. (Are you reading Reign of Starscream?????)

asking about how modes felt was a distinctly 'newly-activated' thing.
Heeee! Cute!

all Skyfire could see what his processor's rendered image of Perceptor in his alt-mode, strapped perilously to the top of Sideswipe and cruising towards the Suds'n'Buff Car Wash.
Oh my. O.O AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And then he began to plan how to reciprocate the sentiment.
Heh! Well, that thought should keep me happy for quite a while.
::huge grin!!!::

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry this was such a pain to write!!! ^^;;;;
::hugs::

That's the part that kept kicking my ass - the wording never quite said what I wanted it to say as elegantly as I wanted to say it. *sigh* I'm still curious what sort of deal was struck so that no robots were dissected... (Amusingly, while near the end of this, I discovered that the EDC has a base on Mars by Season 3, so obviously this could wrongly fit in canon somewhere

::nods:: They have bases on Mars and the Moon. I just read an article somewhere that there are a handful of missions going to be sending little rover-y probes to the moon within the next few years, and there's already debate about whether the Apollo 11 landing site ought to be a no-landing zone so they don't mess up the footprits, but neither the US National Parks nor UNESCO has been in a big rush to claim anything off Earth..... Methinks adding giant alien robots is just all kinds of can open worms everywhere. O.O We can't do much up there, but they can, and there's this whole deal where they don't even need life-support in space

[misskalloway]

Does that come down to figuring out who owns the moon? Besides, aren't the footprints on a soundstage somewhere in New Mexico?

Mine (which I need to go read when I'm actually awake and not just riding a caffeine high) is full of Decepticons and should be set to 'Do it like a robot' (was that not obvious enough?). I want to read the Sandstorm/Octane though, since they're on my to-do list somewhere.

I'm still debating.

Love Perceptor in this story! I almost, almost feel sorry for Skyfire, dealing with the 'absentminded scientist' who actually is very observant and has such a questioning mind. Very fun to read!

Thank you! ^_^
