Eclipse POV
"So our newest rash decision is going to Earth?" Siege sighed heavily.
"It'd be safer there than here." Solar points out.
*I'd really rather not meet more pirates.* Harmony chimed in.
"Ok that's a fair point." Siege admits.
"Plus, the Great War left energon reserves there. We don't have to worry about starving." Wavelength adds to my brother's ease.
"Speaking of which, if we stay in orbit we're going to run out of energon." Flare warns us.
*He's not wrong. We'll only make it a few months up here. We could stop by colony planets on our way there to get more.*
"Question for that idea," I look to our youngest, "how will we pay for the extra fuel?"
"Conveniently enough, Uncle Thundercracker has a stash of Shanix's under one of the loading dock tiles." Siege informed us all.
"How come you know about that and I don't!" Flare whined.
"Because I'm oldest." He shrugged.
I laugh as Flare whines a bit more.
"So we head to Earth then? For Mr. Thundercracker's personal bases? Correct?" Solar looked around the cafeteria we gathered in.
"Yep!" Flare waved his servos, almost falling off the table.
Wavelength sighs entertained.
*It sounds like a better plan than waiting here and waiting to be attacked again.*
"Little genius is right." Siege stands up. "Are we all in agreement?"
"I am. At least then we could call more cybertronians as well. Not all of them have returned to Cybertron." I stand as well.
"So then lift off?" Flare pushes.
"Yes. Lift off." Solar laughs.
The six of us take our seats in the control room and prepare the lift off sequence. Our engines roared with life and pushed us off the ground. The Golden Retriever lifted higher into the air with ease.
"So far so good. Engines are keeping a steady pace!" Siege informed Solar.
"Are we ready to move towards Earth?" Our caption looked to me.
"We are yes. Mapping course now." I nod.
"We've left the atmosphere folks!" Wavelength cheered.
"And off we go!" Flare points into space and at the unknown.
I enter our course into the system.
^Course: Earth.^ The intercoms chimed.
"We're really leaving Cybertron." I stand from my station.
"Yeah. I guess we really are like our parents." Wavelength snorts.
Solar laughs. "Yes it appears we are!"
He smiles slightly.
"Are you alright Solar?" Siege put a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah. It's just- we're all struggling with leaving. It hurts going behind my creator's back...."
"There's a guilt with it isn't there?" Flare nods, most likely remembering our talk the other night.
"Definitely. But, Sire would be proud. I think Carrier would be as well." Solar takes a deep breath. "You know, after he grounds me for eternity."
