"I can't slagging believe this..."

Scratch that, League could believe it and that was what was bothering him the most. There he was sitting on an empty repair table as he watched over the sleeping prisoner. Since the mech was unable to go on most missions he normally got guard duty, which included just kicking back and watching a monitor or two, possibly running some base wide scans. However, with most of the bots gone, it fell to League to keep an optic on the former Decepticon now taking up space in Ratchet's medbay. League wasn't too fond of Decepticons, even former Decepticons, but on top of all that she was a flier. It really ground his gears to have to sit there with the very bot who most likely made League's front-line life hell. Though he couldn't be sure he ever fought against the recharging femmebot, it was a fair bet that she was just as annoying as any other 'Con flier that ruled the skies.

"Slagging fliers...Primus, I keep telling you rust-suckers that water-alts are the way to go, the 'Cons would never see that coming!"

In fact League had long dreamed of taking an armada of ship and submarine based bots and wowing the 'Cons with his knowledge of naval combat. But there was just himself to gripe to... Well, there was also the slagging Decepti-Copter that he wanted to kick into the nearest lake out of spite. Perhaps she would screw up and League would get his chance, then maybe he could get together with ironhide, he seemed like the mean enough sort, and figure out some way to deal with her. As League thought about that he gave a small wistful vent as he crossed his arms and narrowed his optics on the form of Sterotype.

This was going to be a very long shift...

Serotype could only hear distant voices for the moment. She couldn't quite make out but a few loose strings of words.

Fliers.... Cons.... Coming....

She was slow about coming to. Sleepily, she blinked a few times. The room around her was not much more than a blurr of colour. Each blending in to the next. A few more blinks and the world started to come in to focus until everything was back in sharp detail. Instead of seeing Jazz, she saw another guard. Someone she had never seen before and he appeared to be scowling at her?

"....Greetings....? You're my... new guard, right?" said Serotype, "You.... don't have to stare at me so hard. I'm not going anywhere."

League raised an optic ridge as he realized that the femme was coming awake, on top of that she seemed to have something akin to manners. At least until she started harping on how closely he was watching her.

"Sorry to here you think my job quality is substandard. Tell you what. My name is League and you can take it up with Prime or Ratchet. Primus knows I want to be here less then you do."

It seemed the sub was in a bit of a mood, then again being left standard on base with a pesky little Seeker-Spawn could do that to a bot. He was not thrilled in the least as he only harshened his gaze on the bot he was guarding. If she so much as arched static in a questionable manner he would know about it.

"Well! If you really think that I would actually get up and walk away, you can keep staring. But I doubt you'd be seeing any miracles. Even if I weren't chained here, I wouldn't be walking without passing out," said Serotype.

She already knew that by lifting her body too much, she wasn't strong enough to support it yet. Even if she really wanted to, it would seriously hinder any potential escape. Not that she was actually considering that.

"I volunteered to be locked up here. It's safer. Far better than being hunted by former allies," said Serotype.

The heavyset mech crossed and then uncrossed his arms as he just gave Sterotype a deadpan stare. He knew very well what it was like to have former comrades suddenly spaz out and try to kill you, of course he wasn't much for sharing such things and made do with a wave of anger surging through his systems.

With a grunt the mech scooted his aft off the table and rose up to his full imposing height before walking over to the little femme-copter. His optics glowed for a moment before he placed a hand down on her shoulder, pressing her back down to the table.

"Fragging flier! Save your energy and keep your rotored-aft down on that table!"

League growled at her before taking his hand away.

"I've seen some strange tricks. Right now nothing is being left to chance. For all we know you might turn out to be as manipulative as the rest of your Seeker-Spawn kind. The day I let you freely walk on this base without watch is the day you either sacrifice yourself for an Autobot or do something so monumentally stupid you can't even be considered a threat!"

Vorns being stuck on mining worlds where Autobot and Decepticon were largely the same, it had created a very special kind of bot in the survivors. The more harmless and the less likely something was to be against you, the closer the target had to be watched.

This Autobot had issues. A LOT of issues. He had forced her down on the table when he really shouldn't have and started rumbling at her. This was starting to look just a bit too familiar to her. Serotype angled her head to see League again.

"I see bigotry is alive and well among the Autobots. I had seriously expected it more from my former allies than from an Autobot. But this isn't too surprising. Eventually, I was bound to find someone who engages in altism around here. It turned out to be you. Nice job," said Serotype sarcastically.

She would have preferred Rhinox the "pervert" to guard her than this mech. If anything, League was starting to irritate her.

League only knew the femme from the few scant reports the other guards had given him, which was to say he had next to nothing on her at all. Of course the sub was not stupid enough to lower his guard around her, he had seen some very complex 'Con plans in his days as a front-line fighter and he was still convinced that she was up to no good. However her claims of the miner being a bigot did widen his optics a tad. He had never been called that before and while he was very untrusting of flying bots regardless of faction, he had never considered it to be hateful or on the level of bigotry like Sterotype claimed.

"Oh hush your vocals, femme."

The bot growled as he kept a steely gaze on her.

"First off you fliers aren't a race. You aren't even a sub-culture and you have the chance to change your slagging body at any time you wish. You can't be a bigot when your functionally the same thing."

League reasoned out, crossing his heavy arms again as he wondered what in Primus' name the little switcher had planned by calling him such an offensive thing. The Autobot was not about to lose his temper so easily, he was fairly sure she was trying to get him switched out for a new guard, someone more easy to sway into a false sense of security. So for now he kept a fairly, for League at least, cool head and was determined not to let her jabbing insults get the better of him.

"And your zeal to condemn all Autobots because of your incorrect views means what? Perhaps it's you who has the trust issues, odd considering my group aren't named after 'deception' now isn't it?"

"When was the last time you actually changed to a different alt all together on this planet? Going from flying to ground-pounding isn't an easy thing to do here. The materials aren't available to do it. But that's not my point," said Serotype.

She looked up at the ceiling again. At least the ceiling tiles weren't offensive.

"You choose to hate flying-alts even though there are Autobots who do fly. Are they "fragging flyers" to you? Do you hate them because of it? You could have said "fragging Con" and we would have been done with it. The most I would have said was that I was a neutral and that would have been it. But instead you dwell on it. You've made comments about it. You're arrogant and prejudice," said Serotype, "I never did condemn all Autobots. Just you. I've decided you're the special one by the virtue of your arrogance. And what would you know of my trust issues? You're not my psychologist."

Maybe she hadn't planned to start any sort of argument with League. But he had a way of just getting under her mesh. And he was essentially the first Autobot on Team Prime to do it too. Otherwise, she was pretty much cooperative with everyone else.

Though League was struggling to keep a level head, which was none too easy when Sterotype kept trying to put a label on him. The mech kept his powerful arms firmly locked around his chest as he listened to the sort of tripe she was trying to shove down his audios, at least until she called him arrogant. League could feel his metal heat up at that point.

"Is that what you think? I don't hate fliers. If you want arrogant then you better look at yourself, thinking I would care enough about you lot to hate you. At most your Seeker pals annoy me."

He then slowly leaned closer, cooling down a bit as he locked her angered glare with his own hardened optics.

"Arrogance... Femme, if you can't tell by my chassis then I might as well educate you. I was built a miner and have shoveled more dirt in my life then you've walked on. I take pride in my work, but arrogance is something born of fliers, just like you."

"If you claim you aren't a bigot of any sort, why is my chosen alt an issue with you? Like I said, if it were a non-issue just like you claim you wouldn't have brought it up, Seaspray," said Serotype.

She scowled slightly. Great. Now this big lummox was blocking the view of the ceiling tiles.

"If it weren't for that, I'm certain we could have cooperated or at the very least have been civil toward each other. I haven't had any problems with any of the previous guards. You're unique in the fact that you have much skill in getting under my mesh," said Serotype.

"It's an issue with me because it's become an issue for other bots who like to lord themselves above others. I just like being proactive."

He growled at the femme as he continued to tower over the femme. League had no idea what that 'Seaspray' comment meant, though it was a good bet it was an insult of some sort. Just because he didn't know what it meant, it didn't mean he was just going to let it go. He also wasn't too keen on the idea of just playing nice like the copter was suggesting.

"Perhaps. But that would hint that I really care either way. Listen here Sterotype, I'm here because I was ordered to be and chances are I'm gonna be stuck on the base for some days to come and those same chances say I'm going to be picked to watch you because of all this 'spare' time."

League could feel his anger smoldering up again as he leaned back and closed his optics. Though he hated to admit it, she was partly right, maybe they didn't have to spend all their time fighting. Of course it did make time fly and they had quite a bit more to go.

Serotype scowled, "Just like what you're doing now? That's a very ironic statement. You claim you don't like bots lording themselves over you but you're doing it to me right now."

She gave League an irritated look.

"Put some of that spare time to use and try to behave. Everyone else manages to be able to do it," said Serotype.

This femme was really bugging the fragging pit out of League, he was doing his best to remain a 'gentlemech' or at least as close to one as the miner ever was. But she kept chipping and chipping, calling up his own words against him.

"I ain't lording over anyone! And this is me behaving you slagging waste of a protoform! If I wasn't, you would be a rather unseemly spot on Ratchet's medbay by now."

He didn't mean to threaten her, at least not at first, but the femme was pushing the miner's buttons, practically mashing them as he glared back at her. He had to give her some credit though, the femme had some bearings on her, even slagged, bound and watched over by a bot nearly twice her weight and strength, she was refusing to give up. Had things been different, League might have liked an Autobot willing to spare with him verbally, not many of the bots on base would keep going like this. Ironhide just sort of starts to point guns and threaten, Jazz shrugged everything off and Arccee would just start giving League her 'disappointed mom' look if he tried to start something. Sterotype here was the first bot willing to keep up the fight and League was starting to enjoy it somewhat, at least between the bouts of anger.

"Wow! So this is actually civil for you? Interesting. So arrogance *is* your default setting!" Serotype growled.

She was less than impressed with this mech. There wasn't much she could recommend about him except for the fact that he hadn't slagged her yet. But perhaps that was one of the very few things.

At that moment League would have enjoyed having the sort of altmode as Steeljaws, from what he had heard the little mech could have a fairly powerful growl. For now the submarine only had the dull drone of an engine as he set his optics on the femme.

"No. My base line emotion is anger. And you better slagging remember that the next time you try to pin something like arrogance on me you little cog-swallowing, fragging slagger vacuum of a poorly designed Rotor-Seeker!"

There was one think League did fairly well and that was curse, swear and insult. He was a miner/sailor, it sort of came with the job and right now it was all that kept him from ripping Sterotype's table off the ground and testing just how thick the medbay walls were.
