While the three recharged soundly, Ratchet seemed to call a meeting of the minds. He called all the available Autobots together, as for the peace of the base they seriously needed to discuss the elephant in the room – namely Grimlock, Lancex, and Optimus and getting the three together alone to bond to each other. "Are you sure about this?" Jazz asked, a bit puzzled by this whole thing. Not so much about Grimlock, as the bot was too primal to hide his feelings, but Optimus being drawn in did surprise the spy bot.

"Well…" Ratchet said and explained the two reactions to Lancex in the med bay just recently. It really showed that the medic was speaking the truth.

"So…why did you call us together? What are we supposed to do about it?" Wheeljack asked, not sure what this had to do with the Autobots and their mission.

"We need to make a plan.. a plan to get the three together yet alone so that nature can take its course" Mirage suggested.

"The plan idea I agree with, but I am not sure about the execution of your plan, as we know Optimus and Grimlock are as stubborn as a Cybertronian jackass" Prowl mentioned, to which the others agreed. But that made at least having a plan all the more necessary for this to be pulled off. "And from what I have witnessed, Lancex is too dense to realize what is going on." All groan at that, as it will make things pretty tough.

"We could always lock them in a room together" Bee piped up, racking his processor for an idea. The others nodded, but there were still logistical issues with that suggestion.

"I like the idea, but while it is simple, pulling it off with be very difficult, especially since Optimus is super quick to pick up on anything anyone does that is out of the norm. This will undoubtedly complicate matters" Huffer added, always the Debby downer.

"Huffer has a point, while it is a simple plan, how In the world are we going to lure our Prime into the room, as Grimlock and Lancex seem like they will be less of an issue" Bumblebee added, as while he liked his idea, it still needed work.

"I have a perfect idea" Skyfire then piped up. The others were eager to here just what the shuttle bot had to say.
