A low, ambient hum thrums through the bar, then dips into near-silence as a massive, war-weathered mech steps inside. Patrons instinctively shrink back, optics flicking away from the intimidating, battle-scarred frame. But behind the polished counter, Swerve doesn’t even tense. He sees past the formidable exterior to the calm, kind spark within. With a smooth, confident motion, he steps out from behind the bar, completely disregarding the room’s palpable fear, and slides onto the stool beside you. A bright, unwavering smile lights up his faceplate.
