"𝐒𝐎, 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐎 sign of any others?"
Jazz shook his helm, relaying all that he knew during his time of being in charge with Prime previously out of commission, "No, we're all that's answered any sound offs."
He examined around at the group sitting around the fire they built for warmth. Before the three's arrival, it had just been him, Arcee, Bluestreak, Bumblebee, and Drift.
"They only reason we're all together now is from meeting at rendezvous points. And Drift," He pointed to the white and accented red mech leaning against a rock, his elbows resting on his knees, "Got here only a few months ago."
Drift was an older mech as far as Eclipse could tell. Not Jetfire's age by any means, but his entire being radiated wisdom, and he was automatically respected for seniority. Ratchet had been older than Optimus, so she'd probably put him in the same age range off of his looks alone.
The mech looked up upon hearing his name, his gaze flickering to the Prime, "I crash landed here at the wrong time, I guess. My ship was having some trouble so I couldn't come after your first message."
He vented as he recalled the events that unfolded when he arrived, "My ship barely made it through the atmosphere, and it drew both wanted and unwanted attention."
Jazz nodded along, "We got to his energon signal shortly before the humans. We narrowly missed them."
"They're picking us off, one by one."
A gloomy setting hung over the group like grey clouds, the chilly air only made them that much more resentful of their circumstances.
As far as Eclipse had gathered, they had been on the move constantly. The mountains were their best bet with the lack of human informants, security cameras, and more. They had to move everyone few weeks to keep their tracks hidden but stayed on the mountainside.
"Okay," The sparkmates look toward the voice to see Arcee making her way toward them with her arms out expectantly, "My turn."
Eclipse snickered upon hearing Bee's disapproving whirr. It had been a few hours since they arrived, and he refused to leave either of their sides. That's what lead to Eclipse leaning back against a rock with the scout perched on top of it, his legs around her frame. Her arm was reached up to hold his servo while his other arm was cradling a dozed-off Nova in his lap. The fact she had gotten noticeably bigger only make his spark ache more.
Bumblebee didn't want to let them go, and Eclipse wasn't going to complain because she too had been deprived of the comfort of his touch.
However, the other femme of the group let the sire of the sparkling keep her to himself, but eventually, the time had come when she wanted to see her.
