A wise mech, upon the realization that his t-cog is not long for the world, would take it easy. Perhaps avoid transformation unless completely necessary. Tarn is not one of those mechs. The anxiety of the impending death of his transformation cog only spurs him on further, transforming back and fourth in excess of twenty times in a very short span of time. He has been holed up in the building since his run in with Drift. His self repair is working hard but the exertion that he is putting on his frame is preventing it from doing any serious good.

A fair bit of cleaning has happened since Tarn and Spinister originally stumbled into the abandoned building and it is more or less starting to feel livable. He has occupied himself by cleaning some of his own energon off of the floor with a rag. The last thing he needs right now is for the helicopter to return from his scavenging and berate him for making a fragging mess.

It isn’t until he hears hurried footsteps approaching the building that he glances up.

“Took you long enough. One would think that you were unused to stealing scraps.”

Spinister bursts through the door, box of wipes hugged to his chest. He tries to stop, skids all the way to the opposite side of the room and smacks into the wall, falling flat on his back.

For a moment, the heli lies there, stunned. Slowly, he turns, takes one look at Tarn.

And promptly starts crying.
