Hey, so I figured I should clear something up before it becomes an issue, because I'm not really into being mistaken for somebot else. Especially when they aren't as cool as I am? I got a reputation to protect, y'know?

[He holds up a screenshot of the recent video post that the other Bumblebee posted not hours before, and it's of the other Bumblebee's face.]

I'm Bumblebee. This guy is also a Bumblebee too, I guess, but he's old and kinda cranky and if you're looking for fun I'm the guy you wanna talk to. Seriously! I'm way cooler, and funner. So, let's call me Bumblebee number one--because I'm the best one, obviously--and this guy can be Bumblebee two or whatever.

As long as he keeps the Starscreams, I'm kinda cool with that. Got it? Good!

[He pauses.]

--Oh! Also, who else is a Crow's Nest Technician? Because I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing except having stasis naps up there. Which, don't get me wrong, is a pretty sweet job but there's only so much napping one guy can do before he's super well rested.

[Another pause.]

Also, also, is there like, a video game system here that's not the VR room I can use? Lemme know. I'm dying to play something, and the arcade on the planets we're on is kinda boring. I wanna get back into getting my highscores up!

[it's only boring because he broke the machines there, but he's not gonna say that.]

[Starflight had waffled on whether or not it was his place to say anything, so when he does finally turn on his MID he already looks a little harried. But he is the Assistant Supervisor for Navigation, after all, he couldn't not say something.]

You shouldn't be napping if you work in the Tower! Crow's Nest Technicians are supposed to be watching for ships or obstacles and making sure the sails and other machines are working and communicating with Navigation so nothing goes wrong! If you needed help figuring out what to do you should have asked Manasseh, not just do nothing.

Ohhhhh. That sounds a lot like monitor duty, which is boring. Doesn't this ship have sensors that can do that job?

[petrifiedshadow]

[Starflight frowned, shoulders hunched. He was still figuring out thinks like "monitors" and "sensors", and he hated being asked questions he couldn't answer.]

I- I don't know. Maybe it's for things that are harder to notice? Or even just- just being there to fix things if they break. I don't know, I don't work in the Tower.

[He looked at the camera, flustered and self-conscious.]

You'd have to ask Manasseh.

[heelys]

Like I know how to fix this tech if it breaks. I barely know how to fix a space bridge on my own.

[petrifiedshadow]

What's a "space bridge"?

[heelys]

Uh, like a portal that takes you from one place in the universe to another in a nano-cycle!

[petrifiedshadow]

You mean an Ingress?

[heelys]

Pretty much! But space bridges can't take people from alternate universes. Plus, it's not usually random unless you don't set in the thingies. Coordinates.

[He's been hanging around Bulkhead too much.]
