Exploit | TFA

I will say this again and not once more. Stay away from my hive.

It sounds it.

You dare insult me with your childish antics?

Stop talking to my hive.

Then he must care deeply for you both.

GET BACK TO THE HIVE THIS INSTANT KICKBACK, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

"Alright, my dear spawn."

[The queen watched her hiveling leave, sighing. She deeply hoped her hive was listening, hoped they'd stay far from humans and mechs.]

"Alright, my dear spawn, but please, but careful outside of the hive, it is dangerous, and be careful of humans, mechs are bad but they are worse, not to be underestimated."

[Exploit lifted her helm from the raise nest, extending her neck and moving her head closer to Kickback and chirping in greeting.]

"Hello, Kickback, yes, I am much better than I have been in a long time."

[Exploit nuzzled against her hiveling's helm and then retreated her helm back to the nest.]

Thank you, Kickback.

Disguised as a pest, you are still beautiful.

Thank you, Blotch, and thank you for introducing me to this site.

Thank you, Bombshell.

Blotch told me to try this little site out. Vile as humans may be, they are quite customisable.

They have all reached their last update.

Indeed.

Why is there so much talk of interfacing on this app?

"If you insist..."

[Exploit leans closer to the shard and picks it back up, grinding it away in his intake gears to consume the crystal, before his helm went limp, too weak to be supported any longer.]

"Thank you... I'm sure I'll feel better soon..."

[She always says that though, did it work?]

[She hums in acknowledgement.]

"It is very pretty... Thank you..."

[She sounds ready to sleep, but sleep is too scary for her hive to witness, so she keeps herself awake, just staring at the glowing crystal.]

- up to rest in the raised nest and set the shard down as decoration.]

"Thank... You..."

[Each vent was a gamble on whether it was the last, each movement from her was worrying, what if it was silent writhing of agony, each word spoken seemed to sap further energy and yet she still kept going.]

- last time Bombshell had visited, which wasn't long ago. How she even had it in her to keep giving for the hive was a wonder and yet such an inspiration to young and aspiring hiveling's.]

[Exploit looked the shard over and took it carefully with her mandibles without complaint, helm raising back -

- body and helm, that helm looking towards Bombshell and lowing down from the raised nesting area, chittering and chirping.]

"Hello, my beautiful spawn... What a gracious and caring mind... You have..."

[Her speech was languid and her venting laboured, she was in worse state than the -

[As Bombshell enters the queen's chamber, the strangely organic noises of synced up spark rotations booms through ground softly, all joining the largest of all, the queen's rotating spark, thought it was slowed and weakened by the illness in her, but despite it, her bio light's pulsed along her -

No.

I have been away from the world for far too much time to keep track of, you will not gain an answer from me with this question.

Quintesson's. I was their weapon, but I put an end to that.

I came to be long ago to a queen by the name of Spiral, destined to create my own hive, but, I was taken from my home, Cybertron, and long story short, I am now here. I remember nothing of a tower, I have been here before Detroit became noisy.

I am disappointed, send this human away permanently when you next meet them, I want a word with you after. Who else of your hive mate's has thought humans safe to be around?

Excuse me?

I saw this world once and I intend never to see it again. But I am glad you are happy, make sure to stay away from humans as I've told you.
