Ep0.5 - 2 Engineers Walked In To A Bar....

Dipper paused at the sound of the new voice. He stopped midstep and turned around.

"Oh! Hi! I-I didn't see you there," said Dipper, "I-I'm just uh, doing a standard maintenance run."

"S-sure. I don't mind. It's pretty much been myself and sometimes Ratchet doing this kind of stuff. Although, it's mostly been me taking it over. I don't mind the help," said Dipper.

He briefly looked over his checklist and then back at Rhinox.

"I'm just heading to the medbay to check equipment. It's s-seen a lot of use these days," said Dipper.

If he had any comment about this, it was that the medbay seemed to have a revolving door of patients coming and going. The Cons (and even occasional accidents) seemed to have a lot to do with putting a few Bots in to the Medbay. If it weren't so horrible, one could almost joke about it.

Dipper stepped in to the medbay as well. It didn't take him long to spot the ladder leaning up against the wall. He grabbed it, hauled it over and set it up.

"How long have you been here?" asked Dipper.

Dipper held the ladder as Rhinox went up.

"Longer. I used to be an engineer on The Tangent - a prison ship. It was okay.... I-I guess. You d-didn't see battle much, that's for sure. But we were ambushed and shot down when we reached the asteroid belt of the Sol system. We crashed landed in the Arctic," said Dipper.

"At the time of the crash, we didn't have very many. Most of us didn't make it," said Dipper.

Matter of fact, it was just him and one other survivor. She was in horrible shape and he wasn't sure if she had survived after Bumblebee had rescued him. It was only until recently that he saw her again chained down in the medbay. Although, Dipper didn't openly express that he knew her or at least knew of her. He kept that to himself for the most part.

"Only two of us got out of there alive - myself and one prisoner. S-she was in the medbay recently. I heard that Optimus let her go," said Dipper.

Dipper blinked a few times. Why did Rhinox seem embarrassed about it?

"Y-yeah! That's her. She was uh cooperating with everyone at the time. She was helping us with something. I-I don't know much about it. But I do know that she was helping them," said Dipper, "She isn't.... mean like the other prisoners."
