[He's going to blink for a second. He's used to being shouted down or...have a weapon pointed at his head. This was new. When he speaks, his voice is a little...uncertain.]
...yes. W-we have to prepare for anything. [It's not that he doesn't agree with you--quite the opposite.]
It depends on what the attack is and who we have. Aerial types like Wing, Skyfire, can move a lot of humans through air. Do humans have any sort of mechanical flight, here? You're...[he squints at the feed] some sort of ground vehicle. [He doesn't mention himself because in case of an evacuation, he'd be the last out.]
I'm checking out routes tonight. And...secondary locations.
I know some humans here have cars or other vehicles. I'm not certain about airborne ones, however. And yes, I've got a car alt-mode.
Good idea. We should have more than one safe house prepared. Let me know when you pick somewhere and I'll move some equipment there. That way if we have to move quickly, we're not lugging around supplies.
Yes. Which needs to be secured. [Drift figures humans wouldn't fancy opening a car door and getting a face full of something awful that had been lurking in the back seat.]
None. [Why yes, he doesn't believe you. At all. Unless you murder with your bare hands?] That's....interesting.
Yes. [That's what he's been saying all along.] If food made by Bending is going bad...who knows if that will get worse?
No arguments there. Though that goes hand in hand with finding safe places anyways.
[She just shrugs, not quite sure what he's getting at.] They were more interested in my skill at gathering intel and getting it safely back to Command than equipping me to fight.
Which means whatever plans we make need to rely on no form of Bending. If we can, we use it, but if we can't we've planned for it.
But a storage hangar is bigger. Harder to secure. What does the Medbay have and how close?
You must know something. Hand-to-hand? [Or is he going to need to assign you protection?]
It means we have to be prepared for that, yes. [Finally! Someone else who sees it. Kind of disturbing that it's the crazy one.And Wing had been telling him he was overreacting. Ha.]
Given the Medbay is sized for Cybertronians, I think they could park vehicles right inside if necessary. We could use one of the side rooms for that in fact.
I know a little hand-to-hand. Not much.
We'll do what we can then. And just hope that we do turn out to be worrying too much when all's said and done.
True. But in case of emergency, it might be necessary.
[Being comatose for the majority of the war and straight through most of the attempted counterattack later on will do that. Not nearly enough time to learn All The Fighting Things.] With help, yes.

[He has plenty of hobbies: stabbing things, poorly Bending energon, spying on you.]
Out.
[And just when you think it's safe to let your guard down, guess who's outside your door? To be precise, ramming a shoulder against the door to see how sturdy it is. Because that makes sense.]
...thought you were a 'teacher'.

[It's a bit of a test. He doesn't entirely trust her.]
[Here's a thought.] Can you try to Bend some of the medical equipment? The basics? Just to see if it still works.

Weapons? I don't have any. In a pinch I can use Bending, but more for defense, and we have no guarantee that Bending will continue working, do we?
I think I can do that.

Right. I'll see you get help if you need it. [Himself, that is.]
