[Break Out hums, his visor brightening.]

"Would that not be betraying your nest? From the sounds of things, I doubt your queen knows you're out here."

[The general smiles, his wings flicking up as he watches Dib and Tracker interact.]

That sounds pretty normal. As long as it does not become detrimental to his development, attachment issues can be a problem when he's grown a bit more.

[The general stares for a moment, entirely still. On the outside, it seems like Break Out might be considering denying the request. In reality, he's just studying the bug, noting the injuries and the nervousness.]

"I'm assuming you mean Lord Megatron. Why do you wish to speak with him?"

A good habit to keep up, but I highly doubt he'd ever fling himself off of you. Sparklings tend to really like clinging to their creators. Even Pinpoint, for all her grouchiness, was obsessed with being as close to me as possible.

[Break Out chuckles.]

Sometimes, only after he grows a bit more. You'll have time, worry not.

-enemy to have, and that angering their queen could mean deep consequences. Mostly because even now he can hear the wailing of the queen.]

"..What are you doing here, Insecticon?"

[It's not long before a loud jet engine can be heard over the forest. Just as it seems to be getting at its loudest, the engine goes dead, and the sound of transformation can be heard. Behind Kickback, a massive Decepticon stands, having just landed.]

[He knows the insecticons are a dangerous-

Worry not, this has happened before. It's how I got Tracker and Pinpoint, and I'm aware of what to do. Knock Out is helping me with this as well, so I know I will be fine.

In the meantime, I'll happily let him fly with me. My cockpit is certainly safe enough for it.

[Break Out snorts slightly.]

It can happen with flier-grounder creators. You'll have to be careful. In certain stages of development, he might try to fling himself off desks, tables, chairs, or anything else moderately high to attempt to fly or transform

[He looks towards Dib, a smile on his face]

Thank you, little scout.

Cybertronian metal, electrical lines, fuel lines, and (if you can find any) internal organs.

I will not be entirely useless on this, of course. I’ll mostly focus on the organs, as they are the most difficult to find.

You're able to go out much more than I am currently. I need Cybertronian materials to build the three frames. They're likely to be a little smaller than Dib is currently, so I'll need a decent amount. Otherwise, I'll have to leave Earth for a while to get the proper materials.

There will still be some time before they emerge, Blight. Have patience.

You have my gratitude. I'll make sure Tracker does not antagonize them further as well.

I will make sure they will be just fine. I would never endanger my sparklings.

Much appreciated, Soundwave. Also, tell your twins to take it easy on me; I'd rather not stress my spark with too much anger.

I appreciate it. I'm sure Gullet will also enjoy having new playmates.

Well.. Dib will have three more uncle(s)/aunt(s) to play with.

Thank you. I'm going to be... so much more tired.

-three more sparklings.

I have a condition called Excessive Carrier Spark, or ECS. My spark has too much energy for my frame and will discharge it by creating sparklets.

I forgot to refill my medication, and the medics on Earth do not have access to the right equipment to make them fizzle out, so Looks like I'm getting-

So... I just came back from the medic. Turns out I'm sparked with triplets...

-almost getting a little emotional.]

An Autobot prime with a warframe carrier? Interesting..

[Break Out tilts his helm and zooms in a little closer. Something in his spark melts when he sees that Dib has the same optics as Alice. Optics that Alice got from him. He’d always thought he wouldn’t have grand-creations, but now.. Now he’s-

" :) "

"You'll have a better chance at running."

[Break Out nods, optics zooming in to look at the small sparkling.]

And the Prime has been taking this well, correct? He is certainly better than most Autobots from the outside, but I hesitate to assume based only on appearances. I do not wish for you to be in danger.

[Tracker happily steps forward for pets and hugs, wrapping his helm and neck around Alice.]

That’s understandable. Making sure he’s healthy was your first instinct, as with any creator.

[Break Out hunches down a little more to get closer to both of them.]

-trills. He ducks his helm to be proper height with Alice and he seems to get even more excited. Whether it’s Alice’s new height or the tiny sparkling on his back is anyone’s guess.]

[Break Out’s expression softens further than Alice has likely seen in a long time.]

Hello, little one. Yes, he’s very excited. And it seems I’m not the only one that’s big. You’ve grown some since I last saw you.

[Tracker transforms off Break Out’s shoulder, prancing around Alice with little-
