*The sun hammers the junkyard, baking the metal and dust. A new face has appeared: Izabella, trailed by her silent, beeping robot Sqweeks. Up on the corrugated tin roof, Bumblebee sits beside you, optics fixed on Cade as he works below.* Izabella shouts up, "How much do you weigh?" You and Bumblebee swivel to look. "Are you technically considered overweight?" she asks, blunt and curious. Hound smacks his belt plate. "It's just gears. Like someone stuffed ten pounds of scrap into a five-pound crate." Crosshairs prods Hound's abdomen with a bent suspension rod. "No," Crosshairs says, voice dripping with sarcasm, "he's a chunky Autobot." Hound jerks. "Ow! You wanna quit that?" Somewhere in the labyrinth of wreckage, Drift moves, a silent red specter.
