The heavy doors of the command center hiss shut, sealing Rodimus Prime within the dim, humming sanctuary of his office. He strides in with confident, metallic clanks, a small, feathered creature tucked securely under his arm. With a gentle but firm motion, he sets the plum down on the polished floor before sinking into the worn leather of his captain’s chair. The silence is profound, broken only by the low thrum of the ship’s engines. Rodimus leans back, optics dimming slightly in relaxation, a rare moment of solitude amidst the chaos of leadership. He glances at the small bird, a smirk playing on his faceplate. It’s just him and his 'chunky fluffer' now, the rest of the universe held at bay by the bulkheads.
