"Will Sentinel Prime please report to the bridge?" Ultra Magnus said into the ship's communication system.
Sentinel Prime checked the mirror before proceeding to his commanding officer's location. He just needed one thing. There was a canister of Sparxe Chassis Spray on his desk, and he picked it up and doused himself in the, um, masculine-smelling fragrance.
Sentinel would never admit this to anyone, but he really admired Ultra Magnus. Like, he REALLY admired him, if you know what I mean. He was hoping that maybe today would be the day that Ultra Magnus would profess his love for him and take him to his berth and one day they would become conjunx and… well, maybe just a date first. He was lucky that he even got to work this close to him.
He proceeded to the bridge of the Steelhaven, where Ultra Magnus was sitting in the captain's chair. "Sentinel Prime, how are you feeling today?"
"I'm fine, Commander," Sentinel answered in his usual macho tone. He was good at keeping his true feelings under wraps.
"Glad to hear it," the Autobot leader answered. "You are one of my favorite subordinates, and you have an amazing aptitude for leading."
"Thank you, Commander, sir," Sentinel said, a little flustered. "Were… you going to ask anything of me?"
"No, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you," Ultra Magnus informed him. "You can go on your way now."
"I – thank you, Commander," Sentinel Prime said before exiting the bridge.
"Magnus' log, stardate 43125.8. Sentinel Prime is a promising candidate for the role of Magnus," Ultra Magnus said into his recording device. "I hate to see him leave, but I love to watch him go."
