Had she had time to take a glimpse of the base before the speedy landing she might have a better clue to wheither or not he was being sarcastic. But it did occur to her that for 'the entire base', there was a significant lack of bots. She put on a smile.
"I guess I walked into that one, didn't I?"
Then she looked toward the door.
"Or don't tell me that by 'rest of it' that door just leads to a storage closet."

The doors to the hangar bay opened as a dropship entered the main base. It had been out on a small patrol mission, nothing too fancy. The crew consisted of three autotroopers and the Prime himself, Skyspray. The four autobots exited the ship once it had landed, the soldiers making small talk about the previous mission. Nothing too interesting, the old ship was gone now anyways. All of the bots departed their own way, the soldiers going back to work on Regenesis and Sky, well, he went back to the command central. He was probably needed there.

ShadowZoneA loud screeching would be heard as Thunder came to a stop. Of course the inertia would still send him forward, and he let it carry him. When he went forward he transformed and landed on his pedes. He brought up his forearm, a holomatter map popping up. He would glance at it before having it vanish. "The ship storage deck...and my exit." Thunder spoke to himself. It seemed deserted, however he knew his caretaker would be right behind him.

Not too much later the flier appeared at the entrance into the ship's storage. A weapon was trained and locked on Thunder. ".....Do not do anything stupid." The warning was clear. ShadowZone would not fire a warning shot, he would fire at Thunder directly and he would shoot to maim badly at the very least.
"You are permitted to relax within the boundaries of the base. You may locate and get a room appointed as your quarters." He did not lower his weapon and would shoot the moment Thunder moved.

"Shadowzone, put the gun down." Thunder just told him, "I'm just looking around, no need to be hostile." Thunder clenched his fists and felt the weapon barrel on him.

"Don't behave suspiciously.... and you will not be treated as such." He said evenly then indicated that they should leave the area to explore the base somewhere else, further away from a possible exit. If Thunder really meant nothing bad by it, he would willingly come along.

"Sure. Just put the gun down." Thunder told him, his tone getting a bit more serious, "I like you but I don't like guns being pointed at me. So put. The gun. Down." His blue optics lit up a tad brighter when he said that.

Rangefinder had been hanging out up in the hangar section like usual, resting in the ceiling where no one could disturb him. That was until he heard some people tslking below him, one with a gun out. He dropped down behind Thunder with a loud thud.
"What's up with all the noise yall, and who're either of you and what are you guys doing in the hangar?"
He held a surprisingly casual tone when he said this. He piliy goggles fell down over his optics as well.

"Hey there!" Thunder waved at him, still being on his guard but seeming just a tad more casual and relaxed, "I'm the new guy. Got off of my unnecessary maintenance shift and decided to check this base out. Since I've only seen the Command Central and your repair bay. Decided if I'm stuck here, might as well look around." Thunder explained to him, being reasonable.
It would also seem that now that he didn't care that his babysitter had a weapon pointed at his back. Being so bold as to take two steps forward, toward Rangefinder to better speak.

"Behave... and no gun will be aimed at you. No more running away, no suspicious behavour." He answered. The terms were clear. If Thunder behaved, he would not have a weapon aimed at him, if he didn't, he would be shot. Simple as that.
"ShadowZone." He answered to the autobot that newly joined them. "This is Thunder." He indicated the much smaller car frame.

Thunder would sigh, raising his hands up in the air was if he was surrendering, "Sure, one more thing though."
He turned to face him, optics narrowed. His chest headlights would flash brightly, blindingly so. Thunder knew he would shoot, so he quickly moved to the side after flashing and from this forearm autocannons,fired three rounds into his weapon. One in the barrel, center of the weapon, and the grip. Making sure not to actually hit Shadowzone.
"Cool. Now you and I can go somewhere else." Thunder said nonchalantly, the barrels of his autocannons recessing and his posture indicating more relaxation.

Rangefinder reacted in the one sane way possible, by getting out of the way of the gunfire. He performed a flip, and drew his dual neutron assault rifles. He aimed them square at Thunder's head. Ready to fire if any more aggression comes from the mech.
"You're the one to attack first, gimme one reason why I shouldn't tow you out of this base and into a ditch, then across the country at high speeds, then through the ocean, and lastly, back into this room to make a new dent on the wall?"
He then motions to the back wall, which has a few dents in it, one of which being similar to the Prime's frame.

While the one blaster rifle that had been aimed at Thunder and was situated on ShadowZone's arm, was shot, a click announced a machine gun locking its sights on the shorter bot. It was not firing. His other arm leveled its own rifle onto Thunder.
"Give me one good reason why I should not shoot you right now." He spoke in a deadpan voice. If he did decide to shoot, Thunder would certainly find a likeness in swiss cheese - with all the holes. It was thus a little funny that his words actually echoed those of Rangefinder, at least in part. unlike the other bot, the threat was not elaborated or extended. Either way, it was prime time for the newcomer to behave or meet an untimely end.

Thunder saw his current situation. Guns on both sides. He was nervous, and even before Shadow drew his weapon, his hands were gripping the handle of his swords ready to draw them. However he would let out a sigh.
"Fine, I guess we can just go to literally anywhere else." He shrugged and gave him a smirk, "Unless you want to kill me. If so then just get it over with."

Rangefinder kept his guns raised, wsiting for a queue from Shadowzone to lower them. He was prepared to open fire at a moment's notice and was very willing to do exactly what he said for his threat, and was easily capable lf doing so.
"Gimmr one reason to lower my weapons. It isn't hard to take down one small mech."

"I'm not fighting back now, am I?" Thunder said, looking him straight in the optics, as if low-key tempting him to shoot, "I didn't like having a gun against my back for no reason. Sorry I stepped into your special space...that's open to the entire base. Look, sign of good faith?"
And with his hands partly in the air, both could see the barrels of his forearm Autocannons receding, his sword scabbards receding back to their passive configuration within his back.
"See, are we good?" Thunder asked both of them.

"That was not a reason." ShadowZone said simply. "You caused damage to Autobot property, you acted in suspicious manner, raced down the length of the base towards the hangar after several complaints about wanting to leave..."
He did not turn his optics away from the smaller bot even as Thunder lowered his weapons. "You attacked an Autobot." He was listing the transgressions in the same voice he had responded to him so far. All business, no play.
"The safety of this base is of importance. Your comfort and sensibilities however, are not." He did not look at Rangefinder when he spoke to him. "...Should it be needed to bind him, do you have anything available?" He was half tempted to suggest that the smaller racer would be put on a hook and a length of cable, so that he would not need to be chased across the base again.

Rangefinder took a moment to think, then jumped around like a little child.
"Oioh! I have rhe perfect thing!"
With that, he withdrew his rifles and pulled out his tow cable launcher. He drew a length adequate to tie up Thundrr's arms more than a few times, then detached it. He quickly formed it in a coil and handed it to Shadoezone.
"This outta work, it's built to carry Spider Tanks and to take down big guys. He gove you any trouble, get him with that.

Thunder just chuckled, "I think this is where I say 'tighter daddy' but you look enough like one of those types...wouldn't want your port leaking on the job now would we?" He was a little less kind now, and a little more irritable.
"We're good now right? Maybe we can visit the place I would actually be going for if I wanted to escape? Like the Docking bay?" He asked with a raised optic ridge and a returned tone of optimism. Partly because he needed to stay optimistic, also because he hoped it pissed ShadowZone off. Even if he was obviously the victim of some sort of mind alteration.
