Sandblaster, Spector and Red Tide soon made their way to the office of the Prime, having been partially updated by Bee about what was going on. "Nice to see you, Sidewinder" Spector said, unaware the femme had changed her name.
"Actually, I go by Sandblaster now" she carefully replied. She had a good reason as to why she had changed her name.
"What was the reason for the name change?" Red Tide asked gently, very curious. it was not often bots changed designations.
"I recently learned from an extended relative that I was named Sidewinder because my parents thought I was a brat and a snake in the grass, so to speak. Not liking the name anymore, I changed it" she explained to them.
"I can understand the desire to change a name after learning that" Spector gently replied.
"I'm still the same bot, just a different name" she stated, unaware that Mirage had heard the conversation at that point. Mirage just smiled seeing the three.
"And still very much welcome here" Mirage interjected, surprising the three. "All three of you are very much welcome. Please come in as we have some things to discuss." Although all three were caught off guard, the cane into the office to be updated by Mirage about the bizarre circumstances that had just occurred.
Once all three were updated, they gladly agreed to watch over Mirage. "Are you three certain that you are willing to do this?" Mirage asked, not wanting to force the bots to do something they didn't want to do.
"We do this willingly" Sandblaster replied.
"For you see" Spector started, before Red Tide finished.
"You accepted us first and brought us into your family. Your family is our family and that family deserves to remain safe" Red Tide finished.
"Thank you, thank you my friends. Now, Spector, I want you to go back to my quarters and help Jumper and Bee with the little ones. Red Tide and Sandblaster, I want you here at the office" mirage stated. Spector soon left to help out back home, while Red Tide and Sandblaster talked to each other in a secret language the two had learned used to be the old minibot language, but had nearly been lost due to the feudal system Cybertron used to have. Mirage was a bit worried when he couldn't understand them. Soon enough, Red Tide stayed in the office while Sandblaster went out to watch the door.
Mirage looked confused at Red Tide. "What is wrong, Mirage, sir?" Red Tide asked.
"It concerned me when you and Sandblaster talked and I couldn't understand what you were talking about" Mirage answered.
"Mirage, sir, Sandblaster and I recently learned that minibots used to have their own language. We have been practicing with each other. It is not an intuitive language, but we are willing to teach it to you, your minibot friends, and Optimus if you wish" Red Tide explained.
Mirage felt better, realizing that they weren't trying to hide things from him. "I take it to be like seekerese. Jazz taught me the basics of that so I could talk with Wingspan. If you are willing to teach it, I would love to learn your language. I guess I just never realized how many bot languages were out there." Red Tide nodded and got to work guarding Mirage while Mirage worked on paperwork. Mirage could only hope Ratchet could save Optimus. For now, Mirage had an important job to do.
