As the other three headed to their destinations, Lancex found himself in a med bay for the first time in a long time. Signal Flare and Arcee scanned the bot over. Lancex wasn't liking where the femme was going, but he kept quiet. "Alright, open up your back area" Arcee instructed Lancex.
Lancex wanted to refuse, but one look from Signal Flare and Lancex fell in line. "Fine" Lancex smarted off. He carefully revealed his unusual gn drive. Lancex didn't like leaving it open and vulnerable, but these were medics and were checking him over.
Arcee first scanned the unusual appendage and cataloged it in Lancex's chart before touching the strange device. In an involuntary reaction, Lancex moaned as Arcee rubbed the drive to make sure it was functioning as it should and not have damage. "This is a medical exam Lancex, nothing else" Arcee stated.
"Sorry, it seems like each time that area is touched, it is sensitive. It is not you. It happened with the last medic as well" Lancex explained. He didn't know why it happened, just that it happened.
"Alright, the only thing I see missing is a transformation cog" Signal Flare stated.
"I was forceD to give that up long ago" Lancex stated. "And I can't have it back or something bad will happen." Signal Flare and Arcee nodded. Lancex was soon medically cleared and headed off to cool off and rest,
Meanwhile, Landmine had made his way to Optimus' office. "Prime?" Landmine asked.
"Yes, Landmine, how can I help you?" Optimus answered.
"Well, sir… it goes like this…" Landmine started out and then explained about his spark and how it felt and such. "What causes this?"
"It would seem your spark has found its mate or mates. I just ask that if you do so, you wait until after we have completed our mission to start a family" Optimus answered and Landmine nodded and left. He still had much to think about. And hoping Jetfire and Mirage might help as well, he headed towards where the two flyers had gone.
And yet elsewhere, Jetfire and Mirage were talking. "I hope we can impress Lancex and he picks us" Mirage stated, unaware it didn't work quite that way.
Jetfire sighed and tried to gently explain things. "Mirage, if we are meant to be with Lancex, nothing we do will make or break anything. If we are not meant to be with him, nothing we do will help us. This is about Primus and him deciding things." Mirage nodded. He was glad that Jetfire explained things gently and in a way Mirage could understand. They went back to work.
And out in space, Megatron was planning on attacking again, and his goal was Lancex.
