Episode 3
Week 4, day 3
Early Afternoon
The generator sat against the wall in the utility room, silent. A faint smell of gas leaked from it, tingeing the air with a heady aroma. It had once been a bright red, the brand name painted on the side in white lettering, surrounded by what looked like had been flames.
Javelin wasn’t entirely certain flames were a good thing to have painted on a gas-powered generator, but then what did she really know about gas-powered generators anyway?
The slender blue femme stood looking down at the machine in silence, a box of parts and tools at her feet. Her optics roamed over the scuffed paint, the spilled oil, and the obvious dent in the bottom frame, and wondered what it had been used for before being brought here. Surely it couldn’t have gotten this beat up here in this room, could it?
When Javelin had been given her assignment, to work with Bumblebee repairing the broken generator in the lower levels of Omega, she had been slightly dismayed. Not at working with the other scout – she actually hadn’t really had a chance to meet Bumblebee yet – only in moments passing in the halls, or passing along a message or update. Beyond that she really didn’t know him at all.
No, her dismay came from the fact she was going to be working on a generator. Javelin didn’t exactly have a lot of experience in repairing Earth machinery...but then, she assumed Optimus or whoever had given her this chore already knew that, but decided it would be an easy enough fix that even a moron would eventually discover what was wrong and fix it.
She hoped.
Tentatively, Javelin lightly prodded the silent generator with a foot, “I hope Bumblebee knows more about you than I do.”
