I'm forgetting something.
I can't exactly remember what it is, but I guess that's the point of forgetting it.
The past few days (which I can only measure with the humans' comings and goings) have seen Riley move from underneath and behind to front and above. While my systems slowly integrate the new parts she has replaced, the human works at a relatively decent pace to finish the rest of my frame. I've even overheard her speaking to her father about ordering certain parts or reluctantly needing his help to replace large parts such as my windshield.
Other than that, she's turning out to be surprisingly competent. Despite her first impressions.
It's actually baffling how proficient these humans are proving to be. Ever since landing on this dirt rock, Starscream has dismissed the organic population as stupid and useless. As "loyal" followers, the Vehicons adopted his view without much thought. I've seen the Autobots' humans before, and their behavior just seemed to support the assessment. They were dumb to accompany the Autobots and completely useless in battle other than getting underfoot.
Riley and her father are proving that wrong, and I don't know how to feel about that.
