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.]

Bonsai on the MID is pretty fun. I mean, growing plants with kittens - riveting stuff.

[Although he's obviously being sarcastic he did spent ten minutes on it the other day.]

--Wait what? I thought organics didn't grow on trees? Now I'm confused.

Well, if you do it wrong they don't. You need just the right amount of water and a seriously green thumb.

What? Why do you need green thumbs?

The green thumb is more of a manifestation of awesome gardening skills than something you need. It means you've become one with the plants.

I don't get it.

Get good at plants. Thumb turns green.

What! Is this something all humans can do? Can you grow plants out of your thumbs? Is that normal?

[Okay, this is enough, William just kind of...laughs.]

Look, I'm just messing with you. It's an expression. Humans don't get green thumbs or grow plants out of them.

...

Well, unless they get an overdose of radiation, but that's a whole other issue.

[He gives a little frustrated vent.] Oh. Right. I knew that.
