Back with the Autobots, Landmine, Jetfire, and Mirage soon arrive at the rec room to grab some much needed energon. And as they entered, they surveyed the room. They immediately spotted Lancex. They wanted to head over to him, but Landmine suggested that they pick up their energon first and approach Lancex from the front. Jetfire and Mirage weren't sure why Landmine suggested that, but they agreed, as it made sense. Sneaking up on an unsuspecting bot didn't always lead to good things.

They soon picked up their energon cubes and headed over towards where Lancex was sitting. Since they were approaching from the front, Lancex spotted them and he quickly put away his special headphones. He appreciated that they hadn't snuck up on him. "Good morning" Lancex greeted them pleasantly.

"Good morning, May we join you?" Jetfire asked.

Lancex nodded. "Sure can."

Mirage noticed the book Lancex had on the table and the unusual gun. "What is that book about? And what is with that unusual gun?" Mirage asked.

"Well, the book is a book on runes and such. It helps me fight demons and fiends. You see I am an s-level hunter, which is the highest level, hence I have very advanced and unusual weapons, even without these ones I picked up. And this gun, is one I have been seeking for a while and it only gives it directions to use it in runes. I can customize it, but it is tedious and I must be careful" Lancex explained.

The three nodded, fascinated by what they were learning. "So, after the war is over and Megatron and Unicron are destroyed, what are your plans?" Landmine asked.

Lancex blushed, as he really didn't want to reveal that. "I…I want a family" Lancex answered at first.

"Can you be more specific?" Jetfire asked, drawing a look from Mirage and Landmine, but Lancex blushed.

"Well….my dream would to be in a bonded family with 3 mates and sparklings" Lancex revealed.

"Wow. That is cool, but May I ask why 3?" Mirage carefully asked.

"Because three is such a perfect number, as is four with me as part of it" Lancex explained.

"Do you think you will find them?" Landmine asked, unaware Lancex was sure he had sensed three sparks that longed for him.

"I think I have sensed them, but I am not completely sure" Lancex stated, and he soon was called away by Arcee and another bot to be medically checked out.

After Lancex left, Landmine got up and left. He still needed to talk to Optimus about things. And after Landmine left, Jetfire and Mirage realized one thing – Landmine might be the third. "You think he will choose the three of us, including Landmine?" Mirage asked.

"Not sure, I guess only time will tell" Jetfire answered before both were called to shifts. They headed out, hoping that for at least a short time, Unicron and Megatron would keep quiet, but that would be wishful thinking
