The base halls were full of whispers and gossip. All surrounding a mech who very much should not be the gossip topic of his own men, Ultra Magnus looked at a pair Autobots whispering amongst themselves,
"If you have time to chatter you should be continuing you're duties men" Magnus warned walking past the pair,
The two Autobot's ceased their gossip. Only leaving the sounds of their rushing pedes in his audio receptors,
It will be the second time Magnus and the other soldiers were meeting and speaking with the new Prime, as he's taken charge of the Autobot forces as the conflict continues to grow uncontrollable,
Ultra Magnus continued his walk down the hall to the room where he was requested to meet Prime and his second in command Jazz for a briefing,
Punching in the code to the door he readied himself to face his new leader and Prime,
In the room Magnus was greeted by a sight he couldn't comprehend, Optimus Prime was sitting with a small yellow sparkling hanging off his shoulder with utter glee as the Prime smiled contently at the sparkling as it laughed happily,
"Ah Ultra Magnus it is good to see you again" He finally caught sight of the stunned elite guard mech. His calm leading expression easily fell back into place,
"Sir" Magnus saluted mentally struggling to keep his optics from wandering towards the bright yellow sparkling which was now staring at him with big round interested optics,
Optimus shook his helm with a small chuckle "At ease soldier" he order gently,
Since when was Optimus Prime a caretaker?. Ultra Magnus couldn't recall ever being informed of such information about the new Prime's sparkling by the high council or his higher up's in the elite guard,
No he is getting sidetracked. There were more pressing matters then being misinformed of the familial relations to the Prime,
"You said wished to speak with me about our next battle sir"
"Yes I did-"
"-Op! Who!?" The yellow sparkling interrupted Prime waving a small servo out towards Magnus,
This was very much not the proper place for a sparkling,
Second in command Jazz stepped over towards Prime lifting the sparkling off his shoulder with practiced ease. "Hey don't be rude now lil' buggie" he scolded with no weight in it at all,
"Not buggie!" The sparkling squealed with a big pout. Wriggling around in the other mech's hold to try and get back to Optimus's,
Magnus watched in silence feeling a little crazed. Did…Did they not see the issue here?,
Optimus stared back towards him clearing his vocaliser and continuing where he left off "I would like to discus placing you in charge of the wrecker's in the next mission" he informed,
The wrecker's…They were a lose cannon on the flied,
Never listening to commands. They had no real order in missions simply going in blind and having each mission they were picked for somehow ending up with them blowing something up,
"Are you sure I can handle leading a team like that sir" Magnus voiced his doubt's,
Jazz shrugged while shifting the yellow sparkling in his hold. "You're very skilled Autobot Magnus and we've heard how you've lead forces higher in numbers then the wrecker's small team"
"Indeed. I believe this change will benefit both you and the wrecker's" Prime agreed looking hopefully at him,
Magnus held back a word of disagreement. He had been given these orders so he had to follow through with them, "Understood sir. I'll lead the wrecker's on our next mission",
The yellow mech in Jazz's hold whined again little servos reaching for the larger mech in distress "Op! Op!", and Ultra Magnus's resolved finally broke glancing between the sparkling and his new leader "Permission to speak freely sir?" he requested tensing his shoulders tighter,
Optimus blinked tilting his helm a little in confusion. "Of course, you are always free to Ultra Magnus",
"Is this-" Magnus paused mentally testing his sentence out before speaking it aloud "Sir is this really a place for a sparkling?"
Note: Magnus: what...what you got there, Optimus and jazz with bumblebee: a smoothie
