Subject: Q?
Was it 4 or 2 footballs you wanted Blue?
From: Bluestreak (blubottrannet)
To: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
Subject: Re Q?
Um, better make it 4, 'cause I promised Spike and Bumblebee that I'd help them with teaching the Dinobots how to play rugby, seeing as Jazz taught us and then the Dinobots heard about it and they wanted to play, and anyway you know how rough the Dinobots get so it'd be good if we have some spares and stuff.

Heh, good idea Blue. Pick up at 0800 tomorrow?

Subject: What did you do?
I just passed Prowl in the hallway. He was muttering something about 'spit roasted Porsche'. What did you do?
From: Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)
To: Optimus Prime (optimustrannet)
Subject: Re What did you do?
Who said I did anything? Coulda been someone else
From: Optimus Prime (optimustrannet)
To: Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)
Subject: Re Re What did you do?
You are the only Porsche on the Ark. By process of elimination, he was talking about you.
From: Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)
To: Optimus Prime (optimustrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re What did you do?
Weeeellll, when ya put it that way…I kinda called in a couple of markers and fixed up a lil' holiday for Prowl. Got in touch with a guy I know in th' vicinity of the Cook Islands. He owns this resort on one of the smaller islands, and it's the off season down there, so there's plenty of room to stash an over-worked 2IC for a week.
From: Optimus Prime (optimustrannet)
To: Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Re What did you do?
You've arranged for Prowl to take an entire –week- off?
Well done Jazz.

Heh, just doing my duty :D

Subject: Hey
You got the movies?
From: Tracks (killercorvettetrannet)
To: Trailbreaker (bignblacktrannet)
Subject: Re Hey
Yes, 1 and 2 of The Fast and the Furious, and three of the Dennis the Menace series. No thanks to those insufferable Lamborghinis and their cravings for sly-grog.
From: Trailbreaker (bignblacktrannet)
To: Tracks (killercorvettetrannet)
Subject: Re Re Hey
They got caught again? Sounds like the punishment detail for that song slowed them up some
From: Tracks (killercorvettetrannet)
To: Trailbreaker (bignblacktrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Hey
Agreed. One must wonder how Prowl arranged for General Hawk to have those two slated for that 'Hell Week' training programme that that Marine 'Beachhead' or whatever he was had organised.
From: Trailbreaker (bignblacktrannet)
To: Tracks (killercorvettetrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Re Hey
Heh, don't ask me. All I know is that he and the General seem to have some common ground when it comes to trouble makers. Did you see that unit of his?
From: Tracks (killercorvettetrannet)
To: Trailbreaker (bignblacktrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Re Re Hey
Yes, quite a motley assortment indeed. Oh, by the way, Jazz is planning a bachelor party for Spike. Meeting in the Common Room at 1210

Subject: Was wondering
What's all this about 'flu shots'? I've heard about it a couple of times now.
From: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
To: Carly (technochicktrannet)
Subject: Re Was wondering
A bad joke that got old years ago.You know how we get those software upgrades and patches to protect against viruses and what not?
From: Carly (technochicktrannet)
To: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
Subject: Re Re Was wondering
Yeah
From: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
To: Carly (technochicktrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Was wondering
When they heard about it, it was either Spike or Chip who made a joke comparing it to 'flu shots. The nickname stuck, and the resident trouble makers have made it a point of honour to avoid them for as long as possible. As you can guess, Ratchet just loves that.
From: Carly (technochicktrannet)
To: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Re Was wondering
Isn't that kind of dangerous?
From: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)
To: Carly (technochicktrannet)
Subject: Re Re Re Re Re Was wondering
Yup. Why else do you think they do it?

Uh, I just checked the supply lockers, and all the bungy cords we use to tie down stuff are missing.
From: Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)

Prowl (autobotprowltrannet)
Subject: Re Problem
...all of them? Dude, you've got the world's supply of bungy cords in there
From: Wheeljack (kaboomtrannet)

Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)

Yup, every last one.

Jazz (dajazzmantrannet)
Subject: Re Re Problem
I would not be surprised if Sideswipe was somehow involved. I suggest that we spread the word to the other officers and all take extra precautions. He's up to something.
