"Shush, shush. Too much talking." He held his servo up and smiled. "Do you really think he has poor self esteem?" He tilted to look at the soon to be flier who at last looked back at him. "Looks pretty good to me."
He walked up to Nova and the new bot he did not know the name of. He glanced at the taller flier to inquire, with his gaze, whether he might be willing to do the introductions. He heard from Zenith that this bot was 'shadowplayed' but he had no idea what the other was supposed to know or not know so he would let Nova take the lead there while he took his blueprints to start working on the new frame.
"This might take a while to prepare." He paused and looked at the two. "So... either you can be bored here or.." He did need Nova's assistance for when the pieces were finished, but if the other Autobot wanted to do something in the meanwhile, he would be fine with the ex-con.

Nova nodded.
I think its for the better that Zenith and I go home, we got some things to prepare, after all, we had disclosed some personal secrets that we had told no one before.
Nova said as he gently hooked arms with Zenith allowing himself to feel his love's frame close to his, he felt warm and cosy. He loved his darling Zenith so much.
Mmmm, yes, I think we should head home, we will have to locate Skidmark though.
Zenith said as Nova opened a ground bridge with his ground bridge controller, then the two lovers walked in, and the bridge closed behind them.

ShadowZone watched Wheelspin silently. He glanced towards Zenith and Nova, neither of whom introduced him to the new car frame. Not that he cared if they did. It only felt as though his faceplate earlier betrayed wanting to know. He turned away briefly. The two fliers were leaving him with someone who couldn't even hoover above ground? He kept his face emotionless for the most part, although he did not feel particularly inclined to trust the non flier.
Nova and the other flier, were gone. He shifted a little, his optics narrowing on the car bot. He had little faith in someone like him to do his upgrades justice. Wings, even more so.
"So...when will a skilled professional come?" He inquired, with a bit of edge in his tone.

"...Very funny." WheelSpin had the door slide shut once the two fliers left. "I'm what you get. And luckily for you I will ignore your attitude for the sake of making our Boss happy." He tapped his digit against his chinplate.
"Now, lets start with the basic armour layer, and wings though I am half tempted to render you flightless..." He walked past the cybertronian like he had the power to back himself up and stopped by the machine that was used to fabricate pieces he would design. A miniature 3D model of ShadowZone appeared and the shorter bot got to work. "Lets try something cybertronian for a start....you can always scan yourself something Earth bound later." He murmured begining with the application of intended design. From the alt form to the right of the little '3D ShadowZone' to of course his standard frame they were currently seeing.

ShadowZone observed WheelSpin as he worked, sitting where he was left to wait. When he was told to lie down, he did so without any protest. From then on he stared at the ceiling for as long as he was able. The much shorter bot was busy with his work, and until he was done there was nothing he could do anyway.
When his servo was examined he glanced at WheelSpin. He may not have felt right to trust a car frame with something that was designed for flight, but that was what he was left with. He turned away again. He could always find someone else to fix the damage, once he was capable of moving about more freely. For now he would just remain stationary a while longer.

WheelSpin was in a good mood. Usually his clients had demands, requests, wishes and pretty much their own view on what they wanted. They even had a look that needed to be replicated in some way even if he might have disagreed. But this one, he was a clean slate. He didn't have complaints and he just sat there then lay there.
"So...." He turned to the flier. "Turn around. We'll be hooking up the big things on you now. You'll hold it for me, when I tell you." With no assistant, he had to make do with the help he had.

As instructed the flier turned and then waited again. When told to hold a large chunk that would soon become a wing attached to his back, he did so. The machines were working in the background, various pieces being pressed into shape, detailed outside and in. The wings would have been the ones most complicated, and there was some plating already that covered his legs and arms, that was done prior to that.
Some of his pieces had also been painted and were waiting to be applied to his frame. The car frame did at least do an apparently acceptable job (could be better than that but he was not going to think the other deserved any praise whatsoever).
After the first wing was mounted he could already feel his body feel a little more like its old self. The attachment to his back plating, which had also been made previously, took a while with all the cabling that needed to be connected before the wing would be fully secured. Slowly he was gaining a semblance of self and of his own , proper, type of frame.

Wheelspin used his patient as a stepping ladder when he needed but for the most part, he was just telling him where and how to move. With the new helm installed he asked him to check the visor and its functions then continued with the repaint of the new faceplate. They went from there. Installing the perks along the way.
It would have been much later, and with the final touches of the Autobot insignia welded on that the young upgrade specialist could take a seat again and have some rest. "Well....." He paused tapping the flier's wing. "Let me know how these work out for you? According to our tests, you should be functioning fine now. Just transform for me and then if that goes fine, you should ..." He paused. "We'll find you a room and some Energon and you can recharge there."

ShadowZone transformed after walking away from the table and into the center of the room. Pieces slid into place without a hitch, the pattern on his body fit together seamlessly. His weapons would move as instructed and follow the suggested 'target' until he was asked to transform back. He would fly later.He would also test his other perks later as well. What could be tested indoors had been tested to Wheelspins's satisfaction.
The flier turned to look at the car frame.

After cleaning up the workshop so it was yet again in pristine condition he turned to his new accomplishment: "Good then. Follow me." WheelSpin sounded and looked smug and quite pleased with himself. Of course there was reason to reward himself with a job well done, because he doubted that the Prime would so much as lift a digit in that direction. Collecting the Energon on the way he took ShadowZone out of the Workshop and into the section of the base where the rooms could serve the bots to recharge. He had not even tried to look for his own yet. He liked the Workshop and wanted to see if the small side room could be changed into a housing unit. If that was possible, he could just stay there, close to his work and all the weapons a spark would want.
As for the flyboy, it was best he kept his sizeable self out of his 'kingdom'. (the two leave the Workshop. SZ will get a room, while WS is just making it a detour to go to prison and after that back to Detroit).

The doors to the Workshop slid open and there was Sparkflare walking in. The mech looked around. There had been a case of corrosive paint spilling everywhere in the medibay. While walking around, Sparkflare made a quick call to Skyspray. He imagined his superior was busy at the moment, so he sent a ping that could be viewed when Sky was ready to see it. Sparkflare then made his way to a working staition. The corrosive paint was applied, so protective coating was out of the picture. What he need to do was make a solution that would neutralise the corrosiveness of the paint that Scaag applied onto everyone in the Medibay. The Medibay itself was beyond repair.
Sparkflare was surprised to not see Wheelspin around. Looks like he was a slacker for an "expert' with ego up his arse. Sparkflare looked around the table he was at, viewing the various tools. If his memory served him right, he should be able to see some form of anti corrosive. Sparkflare soon found it. A singular vial. Enough for his back, Empress and Whirl. The three that seemed effected by the paint. Shadowzone seemed fine however. But there should be enouh left for the flier. Sparkflare then soon walked out. He had the antidote. He recognised the colour of the solution from his former job as a cosmetic surgeon.

Nova and Zenith entered the room, and saw Sparkflare was there.
Greetings Sparkflare, is it possible for you to build me a protoform? because well, I am carrying, and well, I will need a protoform to place the new spark into once he is sparked, and I am suspecting that day will come sooner than later, my family was known for sparking their newsparks quickly, and well, I am no different, so I need to be ready for when that day comes.
Nova said, explaining his situation, and needed someone to help him out, he simply lacked the skills in building bodies, he was able to fix them, but he knows that is a bit different than building his own, he would need to actually forge the parts, a skill he lacked all together. He could EASILY put the parts together, but not make the parts he needs.
We would be grateful if you did this for us, we will be willing to do whatever you want in return, which is something that we should have done for the kind, if fiery mech who did our own paint jobs, but, we can make up for it.
Zenith said, he had already paid for his paintjob in secret, but his mate does not know that, nor can he know of it, because he and Wheelspin were involved in something that would have landed both Wheelspin and Zenith in huge trouble and would have broken Nova's spark if his mate was found out to be involved with that mysterious transmission and was subsequently punished for it.

Sparkflare was soon stopped by Novaflame and Zenith. They were wanting a body for their upcoming child. Sparkflare mentally questioned Novaflame's claim that he was able to produce sparks faster than most. Sparkflare was certain that creating a new spark required a lot of energy and would take weeks upon weeks to create. Oh well. Sparkflare raised his hand to his helm as a microphone extended out of it to make a quick call. There was Autobots in the Medibay that had corrosive pain spilt on them. Sparkflare even had on himself. It was clear as areas of his former yellow, black and red paint were starting to become visible. However it was only on Sparkflare's back and his spoiler.
Sparkflare grunted a bit as he shifted his body to spin away from the exit in a an almost instant motion. For the amount of beating Sparkflare had took throughout his Autobot career, only one area of his body still hurt him to this day. His lower back. At least it wasn't constant pain. If it was Sparkflare would've created an entire new body and bot have built on top of his old one.
The Maximus then got to a table and got out a singular sheet of metal and a welder. The mech also made a circular motion with the hand that held the welder.
"You have to pay him? Pfft. I made whole new bodies for free with the alt mode they wanted. Not to mention this was when the Functionists were in power so there could've been a death penalty or something. Right, anyways, so what do you want this kid to look like?"

Nova was very happy to hear that.
Well, I am a flier, so I am sure the spark that I will be producing will be that of a flier as well, so yeah. I also want him to have the combined paintjob of myself and Zenith, his colors and my flame markings, something to identify him as Zenith and my sparkling. I am sure that once he is sparked and put into the new protoform, he will take on other physical traits coded into his CNA.
Nova said.
I can help you with whatever task you were dealing with involving that vial, if it is urgent....Oh.... I noticed you got some corrosion on your back and spoiler, I could help with that, tell me where I am needed, and I will deliver the vial.
Zenith offered.

"Right. Fire... On it."
Sparkflare said as he began to make a rough sketch of what the sparkling would look like. It was clear by of the tone of Sparkflare's voice that he had some uncertainty of the fire painting. Fire designs were really overrated and generic to Sparkflare. It was easy to tell thst Sparkflare was good at sketching. It was a required skill to have when making new bodies or upgrades. Helped with the invisionment of what the product would look like. Zenith then asked about the corrosion on his back and the vial. Sparkflare shrugged.
"It's only just the paint. And no need. I just told them to come here."

Nova felt like perhaps he had offended Sparkflare somehow, perhaps the flames on the paint was a tad overdoing it, he knew he did not understand that the meaning behind it was more than asthetic, and he wanted the the child to bear some resemblance to him, he was the carrier after all, but perhaps, in the end, he decided to forgo on the flames, they could be added afterwards when his little one is older.
Is something wrong with the fire pattern? I could not help but pick up on the fact that you seem rather uncertain about it. I assure you, there is more than aesthetics here, without his flames, he or she will look more like his or her sire, you must understand that. Plus, my own flames have a deeper meaning, it represents the blazing passion that burns deep in my spark, but I will forego it if you want me to, if your not comfortable with it, then I won't be able to be, I do not like doing things at the expense of others.
Nova said, he seemed very uncomfortable, he did not want to be a burden on anyone, he was very nervous about this. He knew he was being silly, but perhaps its just changes to his coding that is causing it, he did his best to steel his neural net and calm down. Sparkflare then mentioned that there was no need for Zenith to come and help the others in the med bay.
Oh, ok, looks like you got everything under control.
Zenith said, he could tell that Nova was rather uncomfortable about something, he forwent something he wanted for his young, though he was right, Sparkflare did have a bit of uncertainty on his voice, which made Nova feel uncomfortable, Nova did not like making other's uncomfortable, especially when they were doing something very nice for the both of them, like building a frame for their youngling, this is a very kind thing Sparkflare Maximus was doing for them, and Nova understands this greatly, he was very good to him, Nova wanted to be flexible with him, and make things less uncomfortable or uncertain for the kind mech. Zenith just leaned into Nova while nuzzling him, showing that he was there for him, and that he could feel his nervousness.
Shhhh, your ok Nova, just calm down, everything will turn out for us dearspark.
Zenith whispered while caressing over his backstrut.

"Huh? Oh no, nothing is wrong with the fire pattern. I used to have accents of fire on my paint. Used to be mainly yellow with a contrasting black and red to spice it up. The colours were based on my outlier ability; yellow for the electricity, red for the fire and black for the aftermath."
Sparkflare said as he finished sketching and handed the design to Novaflame and Zenith for them to assses if it looked good enough for them. The drawing depecited of a sparkling frame that had the traits of Novaflame and Zenith. Flame patterns and all were clearly depicted in the sketch. Sparkflare then made his way over to the machine that would make the body. And prepped it to create an endo skeleton.
He looked down at the control panel. One hand on his hip while the other was pressing the buttons so the machine would build the endo skeleton. The Maximus seemed relaxed. Considering everything the mech bad gone through since his departure, relaxing was a gift from Primus.
"I guess I really disliked it and grew out of it. Just got tired of pretending to be someone I'm not. Anyways, are both of you willing to donate some Sentio Metallico? It would help giving the sparkling the form of a jet and if it struggles to be one with it's body."

Nova realized he was being a little jittery, of course he had nothing against it, his nerves were getting the better of him, and he simply accepted that fact as being attributed to the changes going on within him. Sparkflare asked if he was willing to donate any of his Sentio Metallico, Which Nova and Zenith were more than willing to do, since they were willing to do anything for their youngling. Nova took the sketch from Sparkflare and reviewed it, he realized how adorable the sparkling is going to be. Oh my, the sparkling is going to be adorable, I love it.Nova said as he handed the sketch to Zenith to see for himself. Yes, our little one is going to be adorable, I love the design.
Zenith said, he then heard Sparkflare ask if they would donate some Sentio Metallico. Of course, that is perfectly fine, we will do anything to assist with the sparkling becoming one with his body, anything that helps the little one we are willing to do.Nova said. Yes, I agree, anything that is necessary I am willing to do.Zenith said in agreement.

"Okay. The Sentio Metallico isn't needed right now. I can lace it into the spark chamber later on when the spark is ready to be placed into the body. Just be warned you may experience less dexterity in your hands and all that."
Sparkflare said as he activated the machine. He readied the mold for a sparkling sized endoskeleton in the machine and activated it. A molten metal liquid soon poured into the mold after Sparkflare pressed a button on the machine. After a few seconds Sparkflare then stopped the flow of the liquid metal and waited for a few minutes, allowing the metal to cool into place. While he waited he began on making the mold for the outer shell of the body.
"Yeah, you might want to leave and do whatever you want. This will take a few days to make. There will be organs I'll have to go find. T-Cogs and Brain Modules don't form out of thin air. I'll send the body to your ship once it is done."

Nova listened to Sparkflare intently.
Very well, we will take some time off once we donate some of that to our sparkling, however, we advise against sending the protoform to our ship, its not the safest place right now, I fear skidmark had placed me on the list before defecting, after I ran into him the first time around, when I helped with a certain seeker while I was neutral. You see while I was out scouting a Decepticon ship, we had encountered Tarn, we made it known to Skyspray that he is not far from our ship, we are unsure as to where he is now, but the fact is, I doubt he was after the loyalist that landed not long ago. We were the only other mechs who were there, and I doubt the leader of the DJD was there for a social call. That being said, I really do not feel safe in what now feels like a toy ship sticking out of a munitions box, all it takes is someone to fire in the right place, and my mine goes up with the ship still sticking out of the enterence. We already claimed a room here, so bring it to the room that says Nova and Zenith on the door. Though I do thank you for doing this for me, your kind act is much appreciated.
Nova explained, but was more than happy that Sparkflare was doing this for him.
Ok Nova, I think its time you let Sparkflare do his job, you said what needed to be said, and you told him where to send the protoform, we should allow him to do his job for us and you should report for medbay duty, while I do whatever duty I am given. Thank you Sparkflare, as Nova said, your kindness is much appreciated.
Zenith said while leading Nova out to do their duties.
