Lots of jumps between characters.
"No, you are not going." Bumblebee said, telling Soya to stay put.
"You're not the boss of me! Heck, you're old enough to count as the first of my bloodline!" Soya shouted back.
Bumblebee sighed and muttered something that sounded awfully like 'what Optimus felt like when scolding Miko'.
"Who's Miko?" She asked, earlier irritation forgotten.
"An old human friend. I wouldn't know where they are now though." He replied.
"Ah, part of your life when you were last here? Don't lie, you act like you've been here on earth before. That and I accidentally heard you mentioning it once to Strongarm."
"I'd... rather not bring up the past." Soya raised an eyebrow at that but kept silent.

Solarburst cried in a corner, wishing someone would save her.

"I'm sure she'll be fine." Lunarflare said, trying again to cheer Slipstream up.
"No, she won't be! Not near that thing, never." The worst of Slipstream's crying had passed, now he was just having mild sobs. Drift, Jetstorm, Grimlock, and Strongarm were checking the area around where they had found the paint scratches, trying to get a lead as to where the thing that took Solarburst was.
...
Slipstream's mind was a literal whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, most were on subjects concerning Solarburst. Like her safety and etcetera.
"Primus, I hope she's safe." He whispered.

Jetstorm was staying close to his master due to the fact that Solarburst went missing in the area where they were.
"Here are some more paint chips. We must be getting close." Strongarm said after examining a discolored spot on the floor.
"I can't wait to bash some... uh- what are we looking for?" Grimlock asked.
"A thing with tentacles. According to Slipstream, he didn't see anything about their appearance due to it being dark, he only knew the tentacles since Solarburst reacted to them I'm guessing." Strongarm replied. Drift moved forward, Jetstorm staying close by.
"Whatever it is, let us hope that Solarburst still has time." He said.
