While the lessor intelligent members of my species are off being idiots, I've noticed there's been an influx of our kind. Normally, this would not be an issue -- other than the majority being morons, but I've also noticed out energy supply is dwindling.

[He only noticed because he was totally going to hoard energon for himself.]

And large portion of the supply was apparently destroyed. If the ship weren't in its current state of low power I could probably right something up. With the right resources I could still do so, but I have no power sources to convert energy from. And nothing to store it in.

-- Unless Soundwave can pop energon cubes out of his chest.

Anyway. I'm open to suggestions. I mean the organics of the ship could be turned into a giant battery, but I know I know. Ethics and all that.

At one point we were using converters...

[aerospacecommander]

A converter I can do. But we need sources to draw from. I considered solar, but that depends on where we are in space.

[taselikeabee]

Our converters actually operated on various substances. Whatever was nearby. Disgusting, but it did the job.

[aerospacecommander]

Do you have the engineering skills to build one?

[This is actually just a question and not a sarcastic remark ]

[taselikeabee]

No. Ratchet might.

[aerospacecommander]

Well, that's a start at least.

[taselikeabee]

Do you posses the skills to recreate one?

[aerospacecommander]

I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't. I know your Starscream is an idiot, but I am not.

[taselikeabee]

I didn't say you were an idiot. As annoying as you are, you are still the preferable option.

[aerospacecommander]

Good to know I'm above my alternate in every way.

[taselikeabee]

Don't let it get to your head, Starscream. You're just more useful.

[aerospacecommander]

More useful still translates into exceptionally better.

[taselikeabee]

Come up with a solution to this energon business and I'll consider making you my favorite person on this damn ship.

[aerospacecommander]

Careful. I might hold you to that.

[taselikeabee]

You're the type that would regardless, aren't you?

[aerospacecommander]

That entirely depends on you.

[taselikeabee]

Not a very helpful response.

[aerospacecommander]

It's not like I can predict the future and tell you either way.

[taselikeabee]

Really? And here I thought you were capable of anything.

...I bet Wheeljack could. Or Perceptor.

[aerospacecommander]

No they couldn't. Don't insult me.

They'd more than likely blow it up.

[taselikeabee]

Maybe Wheeljack, sure. Not so much Percy.

[aerospacecommander]

Either way neither of them are here are they?

[taselikeabee]

Nope. So I guess we will really have to rely on your help.

[aerospacecommander]

I'm sure it wounds you a great deal. I'll try not to hold it over your head too much.

That, you know, the Autobots had to rely on me.

[taselikeabee]

Actually, I assume it will hurt Megatron in the end. That, you know, he had to rely on you. As an Autobot.
