Previously in Chapter 17:
"The 'Cons ya describing sound an awful lot like Ravage and Reedman, soldier. What eva ya do, don't underestimate these two, they are sneaky, dangerous sons of glitches and if they are leavin' you alive then consider yerselves lucky. But da fact dat they took da Shard is worrying to meh and everyone else here. Ah'll contact Prime and let them know what is going on, just try to stay alive, if ya can. Jazz Out!" nodding in my direction I nodded back in understanding that he was going to talk to Prime and then come back and get me.
I watched him leave and then continued to get the Techs to record everything that was being said so that Lennox and the others could listen to what happened. As far as I was concerned what just happened at the Secure Bunker had been FUBAR'd from the get go.
I sat down in a vacated seat and placed my head in my hands, this day had gone from bad to fragged up in the worst possible way and I really didn't see it getting any better any time soon. I could only hope that Prime and Jazz could come up with something that would help us with this situation and fast.
And now on with this Chapter:
It was roughly 2 ½ hours later that Jazz came careening up to me in the now quiet but busy hanger as I was listening to my MP3 as it finished playing 'Retina And The Sky' by Idiot Pilot and moved on to 'Fruitcakes' by Jimmy Buffett, at the point where he skidded to a halt, I was doing a small dance to the music and singing under my breath so as to not disturb those working.
I was doing this so as to unwind from the situation with Galloway and Music was just one of a few ways that I dealt with the stress, the other was to shoot up the Firing Range, which at this moment had Ironhide showing off to a bunch of New Recruits.
Turning to acknowledge Jazz and turning off my MP3 whilst removing the ear-buds, I watched as he transformed into his bi-pedal mode and flashed me a grin. I smiled back and then asked him what was going on.
He sat down next to me and gently lifted me up onto his knee and explained that we were going with prime to talk to Sam about asking him to speak to the Government Officials about the Autobots and that they are trying their hardest to protect Humanity from the Decepticon Regime, and that we were to try and see if he would consider it if I went along too.
I nodded my head in response since it made sense to me as well as them, if they didn't listen to those Humans who were working alongside the Autobots then they wouldn't listen to anyone, let alone Optimus Prime who in some kind of Alien way was their version of Royalty and deserved to be listened to, yet we all knew that it was probably never going to happen since the Government was very short sighted, especially when it came to other Races.
Hoping down off of Jazz's knee and brushing the dust off of my butt, I waited till Jazz had folded down into his Alternate Mode, then climbed in and slotted my MP3 into a special slot that Jazz had come up with for either it or Anubis to sit in and filtered the music list I was listening to into his own systems and out through his speakers.
He decided to tell me what we were going to do.
"Well Prime wants ta see if Sammy boy is willin' ta talk ta ya Government on our behalf, 'specially since this Galloway prat seems ta want ta stir up some sorta trouble fer us. Although ah sure wouldn't mind seein' yerself as our spokesperson, ah mean ya get along wit' almost everyone and everybot on Base as is.... Except fer Galloway, but he jus' seems ta rub folks da wrong way is how ah see it."
