It was a while since a place had made him feel so...tranquil.
hrSpace had always made him edgy. Sure, it was mostly empty but that emptiness also allowed for ships to travel at great speeds due to a reduced amount of obstacles. You might be able to see for long distances, but that didn't prevent a ship from dropping out of warp speed near you and start firing.
Space was not a place for letting your guard down.
Earth was a little different. On Cybertron, they had all developed technology that made their energy readings blend in with that of the planet. No such technology existed on Earth yet. A simple heat scan had them all highly visible in most environments on the planet even if the Cybertronian nature of their radiation was mostly masked. Though, he suspected it wouldn't be long until there was a new invention that quickly had them disperse heat and helped them hide. The humans already had such a technology. Give it an Earth month or two, now that they were partnered with NEST, and the Autobots would have a version just for them.
No, Earth still had him on high alert. Cities were full of heat, he was getting attached to the flesh creatures, and the Cons never stayed down for long.
That was something that had always made them dangerous. Stopping Megatron would not stop the Decepticons - there was always someone willing to step into his place.
But this...this place Lennox was leading him to. It was large expanses of rolling hills and open fields, blue skies and warm sunshine. There was the openness of deep space, without the ability for an enemy to sneak up on you. There was also no cover to hide amongst. You could relax because you would have plenty of time to act if you needed to. And remote sensors were a possibility too.
Here, he could let his guard down.
Dare he say it - this farm was peace. True peace.
A/N: Aha! This is finally here! Sorry it's taken so long, but I've been on and off again working on these ficlets for a few months now so I have some stored up. And since I'm slowly posting Zirconium over on Ao3, figured it was time to post one of the new drabbles here. Happy Fourth!
As with Zirconium, much of these ficlets are set in the aftermath of the FIRST movie, and first movie only. Mainly because it's my favorite and the one I've seen the most. But also because the relationships are a little fuzzy as the movies go on and things happen.
