Moonracer

Session 78

Moonracer, always a pleasure, come on in and—

Thanks, Doc Bot! Scored a 99% on my accuracy test. Lil' Blue's still the only one who out shoots me. I dunno how the lil' mech does it. Y'know I asked him once how he got so good and he got this weird look on his face like he was sad or angry—I couldn't tell—and he said Prowl taught 'im. I guess I'd be a Pit of a shot, too, if Prowl was giving me lessons. He prob'ly makes the lil' mech shoot 'til his finger seizes up. (laughter)

Moonracer, a 99% is still incre—

Yeah, yeah, but Blue's got 100%. That's incredible! Even in the field his accuracy only drops to a 98.5%. I'm a crack shot on the range, but you put me in a fire fight and—whoop!—there goes my accuracy. Drops all the way down to 93% or something obscene.

Honestly, Moonracer, that's still—

Y'know there's only one other 'bot in the whole history of the army with a score to match Bluestreak's? I looked it up one night 'cause everyone kept going on and on about how much of a prodigy he is—and you know I adore the lil' mech. If he was anything like Hot Rod I'da tossed him out an airlock a centicycle ago and been done with it. But anyway, lil' Blue's as sweet as they come. But I looked up the percentage one night, went as far back as records were kept, 'cause I was gonna show everyone you don't have to be a prodigy to get those numbers. Tell you what, I'm glad I didn't tell anyone what I was doin' 'cause I'da had to eat those words! You know who the only bot in the entire history of the army is to match Blue? Prowl! So much for not needin' to be a prodigy, right! (laughter) But you gotta wonder, what's a desk sittin' tactician need with accuracy levels like that? Oh, that's my shift alarm, see ya' next time, Doc Bot! Oh, if you see Blue, tell 'im to come down to the firing range and we'll have a competition. Haven't seen the lil' bot since Prowl and Jazz up and disappeared, lil' guy's gotta be all kinds of worried.

As always, Moonracer fills her time with chatter that means very little when I sift through it. She uses rambling as an effective defense against any real conversations we might have. I haven't found a way to circumvent it, it's almost as difficult as talking to Prowl and his clever word play and silences. She has reminded me, though, that I haven't seen Bluestreak since Prowl left. I'll have to ask Bumblebee or First Aid if they've seen him, the young mech likely needs someone to talk to.
