In the outskirts of Portland, there is an abandoned scrapyard reaching out 100 yards square. No human would dare enter as the government sectioned it off due to serious safety hazards. But the safety hazards are nothing but a lie. In truth, the reason the scrapyard is sectioned off after a request from a certain Cybertronian asked to make this his base. The scrapyard is protected by a electromagnetic cloak, making any Autobot, Decepticon, NAIL (Non-Aligned Indigenous Life-forms) or anything you guys can come up with. Their signals will become invisible on scanners. So you can imagine this would be the last place for a Decepticon to look for any lone Autobots.
In the far edge of the scrapyard is Bumblebee's main area of operations. There is a command centre built into the surface of a cliff. The cliff has also been sectioned off by a fence so no humans would see Bumblebee or any other Cybertronian that might be with him. From the right of the command centre, Bumblebee keeps a good supply of energon. Next to the energon supply, there is a make-shift berth where Bumblebee would use to patch up his own wounds or to sleep on. On the far left of the command centre is the training area. It is basically just a statue he made himself from scraps of metal lying around. Currently there is no groundbridge, so he would go on patrol around Portland or neighboring towns in Maine for now until he can get a groundbridge. If he needed a way of transport to other locations, he'd have to ask High Grand for a pick up.

Sitting at the command centre, his servos behind his helm and his pedes. The mech vented in boredom. Nothing ever happens in Maine. As much as Bumblebee would hate it, but he might actually call High Grand to see if there was any conflicts that he could sort out. Maybe while he was there he could ask if he could have a groundbridge commissioned here so he could get around the planet. Bumblebee had places he wanted to see. He learned a lot from the fact files in his D-pad that he was connected to High Grand's data bases. And he also learned from the humans that walked by the scrapyard. They talked like how they had a bad hair day yesterday. He even saw a human walk by and spoke some weird hurling sound as they spewed out some slimy substance. It did not smell nice. Bumblebee sighed. He should enjoy the silence for now...

Sideswipe emerged out of a groundbridge in vehicle form. There weren't any signals inside the scrapyard, so that meant it should be safe. Sideswipe went in, and once out of view, he transformed, rummaging about the metal, looking for something useful.

Almost falling into a power down, the command centre's sirens roared an alarm that was similar to an air raid warning that the humans used during their second world war. Bumblebee sprung to attention. Putting his pedes off the command centre's panel. The mech raised an optic ridge. It seemed the alarm went off because of a groundbridge. The mech frowned. Guess his location was finally discovered. Bumblebee turned off the alarm by pressing a combination of buttons. Standing up off his chair, the mech leapt off from the command centre and landing on the ground. No doubt that the whole scrapyard was alerted. Guess it would be a matter of time they would arrive. Bumblebee had to find a hiding place. The mech turned to face towards his energon supply.
Bumblebee ran to his stash. Going around the mountain of cubes, Bumblebee hid behind it, peering out to look at the entrance to this area of the scrapyard, the furthest edge of the scrapyard, where he kept anything cybertronian.

What the hell?
Sideswipe transformed, speeding towards the sound, skidding so that the car was moving completely sideways, an effecctive way to stop, and transformed, his morphing figure rolling midair as he landed in a combat stance, with his pistol out and scanning the area.
This is Autobot Sideswipe. State your name, faction and rank, or whatever. Look, is your decal pointy or flat?
The way Sideswipe spoke made it seem like he didn't really wanna be there, and that this was all tiring to him.

Bumblebee heard the voice. His arms opened up revealing two blasters attached to him. Walking out from his hiding place. His servos were outstretched as his blasters were pointed at Sideswipe. Bumblebee was not happy to see another Autobot here. He worked alone. He would usually accept hospitality to other lone Autobots that need somewhere to stay or they were a NAIL.
"My name is Bumblebee. Autobot. Now what are you doing here? Did someone from High Grand send you here?"

You wish BeeBee. I'm here looking for something useful in this scrapheap.
Sideswipe kept his blaster pointed at Bumblebee, and cracked a smirk at the bot. He could take him easily.
What are you even doing here?

"Pfff... Ha ha ha ha!"
Bumblebee couldn't help himself from laughing. He couldn't take Sideswipe seriously as well. There was nothing useful here. All there was just junk that humans threw away until he asked the human government to section it off so he could use it as a base.
"I-I'm sorry... Ha ha! Its-Its just... There is nothing useful here! Ugh... Thats hilarious."
As Bumblebee's arms closed up, hiding his blasters. The warrior raised his right servo and coughed as he calmed down. That really highlighted his day.
"Sorry. The reason why I was here is because this is my base. You seriously didn't see the command centre?"

Look, I'm new to Earth, I don't know how things work. Now if you'll shut up and let me get on with my life, that'd be great.
Sidswipe huffed, setting his blaster back on his hip. The bot was annoying him, he had better things to do.
(I see you switched accounts. Whoops.)

"You're new to Earth? Well, just to let you know. The technology here is very primitive. Just don't expect to try and make spacebridge. That would not turn into a black hole."
Bumblebee was surprised. Why would any bot be looking around a scrapheap than looking at the scenery of the Earth. Bumblebee shrugged it off. Might as well leave Sideswipe be. Bumblebee turned to the command centre. He then stopped. The name Sideswipe sounded familiar. Bumblebee turned around to face Sideswipe again.
"You said your name was Sideswipe? You're Sunstreaker's twin brother right?"

Y-yeah.... WHere is he, do you know where he is!?
Sideswipe almost visibly changed, resisting the urge to frantically shake Bumblebee. Sideswipe may be a degenerate, but he loved his family dearly. Especially Sunstreaker.

"I'm afraid I do not know where his whereabouts are. The last time I saw him was on the Ark. I remember seeing him tripping up into a long distance stasis pod. The pods were designed to track the Ark's location if it landed on a planet. I was there when Optimus ordered Jetfire to have a team of engineers work on those pods. Sunny should be well and alive."
Bumblebee clearly could relate to Sideswipe. He knew a lot of Autobots that he considered as family. Optimus, Ratchet, Jazz, Ironhide, Cliffjumper, and Prowl. Bumblebee already knew what it was like to have found out that Optimus was offlined.

Good. I don't want anything to happen to him.
It hit Sideswipe that he was, well, being a bit soft, so he worked to remedy it.
B-because I can't have him dying. He owes me credits. That's why. Y-yeah...
Sideswipe hoped that his lie would suffice.

"Sideswipe,"
Bumblebee smirked as he raised an optic ridge. Bumblebee almost saw a younger version of himself in Sideswipe. Bumblebee had guessed by now that Sideswipe was quite young. Bumblebee then crossed his arms before he continued his sentence.
"I have tricked so many Decepticons into thinking a plain old rod was the actual Immobiliser. Remind me to teach you how to lie properly one day."

Son of a Glitch. Am I that bad?
Right, so his lie didn't work. Damn.

"You stuttered. That's what gave you away. And you don't have to be tough all the time. Sunstreaker is your brother, its all right to be soft. Even Ironhide acted soft at times when he thought no one was looking. Don't tell him that I said that to anyone."
If Ironhide was behind Bumblebee things would not go well. He remembered when Starscream mocked Ironhide once.

I won't tell Ironhide, If you don't tell anyone what you saw here. Alright? Now, why are you out here alone again?
Sideswipe chuckled, planning to use Bumblebee's words against him.
Planning to be all soft since nobody's here?

"I would agree with you if I was Ironhide. Ever heard of Autobots working alone?"
Bumblebee said. He would never get along with the Prime, Magnus and Maximus. At least the old chain of command. Bumblebee never had anything against them. He just didn't feel like they were taking the war seriously enough. Bumblebee then sighed.
"I am guessing that you are going to ask why I work alone?"

You're a helluva lot smarter than you look.
Heh. Sideswipe spoke plainly, with a tint of sarcasm, but said tint was always present and omnipotent in Sideswipe's speech.

"Thanks."
Bumblebee said, noticing Sideswipe's tint of sarcasm. Guess Sunstreaker was right about Sideswipe's personality.
"Well the reason being is that I felt the chain of command is not taking the war seriously as most of us did back on Cybertron. Watchman, he is good enough to be a leader. Just not someone I would follow into a battle with. Urgh, I dunno. I could go on a bit more on Watchman, Feenix and Gearchange. Its just that..."
Bumblebee had been working alone for six years now. He was bound to have forgotten the reason he left in the first place. Maybe they have changed. He should go back. But if he did he would quickly remember why he left in the first place.
