warning! Scary stuff! Continued from here

Silver: *little squeak as she checks under the blanket to see the incubator bots carefully unloading eggs and baby dragons*

dragonlings: *some may be hungry, but are much too young to form the coherent thought to tell what they want*

Myrror: *hears* -Babies need meat. Soft meat.-

Silver: *promptly opens bricks to reveal fragrant warm dino pate* Nom dis, babies?

dragonlings: *will nom that happily!*

Silver: *makes Starsheen's blanket bop up and down in a funny way in one spot as she dances*

Myrror: *watches, amused*

other Dalake: *are soon full, and some have shifted into dragon form to sleep*

Oppy: -Make sure the ones on that side are covered up, Shadowwraithe?- *is checking everyone on this side of the room*

Shadowwraithe: *does so*

Myrror: *drowsily* -Optimus... is there any way... I can get... report. For Council?-

Oppy: *looks up* I told them what I'd found, and the IGP will send their report. Do you need to talk to them now?

Myrror: -Told them?- *is surprised at least one didn't show up to follow up on that, then* -Not... yet, no.-

Oppy: I sent a written report. *sheepishly rubs the back of his neck* It's a habit I learnt in Academy, and it's good for business too.

Myrror: *wince* -That might not get seen for awhile.-

Oppy: Oh. What format should I use? *offers her a plushie*

Myrror: *takes the plushie* -I had... amulet. No longer have it. Unsure where it went, was attached directly under my skin.-

Oppy: Oh. ... *listens*

amulet: *is part of evidence--still attached to a silvery dragon hide*

Oppy: Do you need it right now?

Myrror: -Would be best. Could at least direct them to your report.-

Oppy: *absent expression as he talks to the IGP Captain, and then he's got the little object in his hand* *offers it to Myrror*

Myrror: -Thanks.- *presses it between her fingers, then looks like she's communicating with someone*

Oppy: *slow spin in place as he checks to see if anyone else needs food, warmth, or a dolly*

other injured: *are full, and asleep. Some may be twitching, tucking a plushie beside them may help*

Oppy: *tosses some plushies to Shadowwraithe after warning them softly*

Shadowwraithe: *catches them, looks around, and tucks them into the right peoples' arms*

Oppy: *turns his own attention to giving dollies as Silver gleefully delivers a couple herself*

Myrror: -Leit'chandro Brightnova has been notified. She'll... be here in the morning.-

Oppy: *comes to hunker beside her and offer a black velvet cat rag doll* Should I notify Dark?

Myrror: -I... am not sure. No... Notify Grelene. Dark needs her Slumber. We are safe.-

Oppy: Okay. *absent again as he checks on Grelene* ...Oh hey. You're another Shadowwraithe.

Myrror: -I'm a wha?- *looks over at the other TF, then chuckles* -I... never noticed before...-

Grelene: *sleepily* -Yes?-

Oppy: *quietly* -I just wanted to let you know there's been an incident, but that Myrror and Starsheen are alright now.-

Grelene: -Ah, I shall let Tahalla know once she awakens, it shouldn't be too long no...- *pause* -Starsheen?-

Oppy: *shows an image of the young silverscale, with a baby draped over her head as she sleeps*

Grelene: -We thought she was dead...-

Oppy: *quietly* No. She's alive.

Grelene: -That... explains some things. Like why Myrror couldn't find her when she aistrailed before.-

Oppy: *mental image of all the healthy, living babies* *including his own newly adopted son*

Grelene: -*amused*-

Oppy: *leans down to see if he can take the food box from Something*

Something: *one claw on box, asleep otherwise*

Oppy: *shows Grelene a baby incubator grabbing the dragonling from Starsheen's head and tucking her under her mother's blanket*

Greleme: -*looks a bit surprised at that* Weaver Drone?-

Dark: *in sleep, saw the image* -Not spidery enough...- *back to Slumber*

Oppy: *sheepishly* -Newborn Cybertronian.-

Grelene: -Ahhhh.- *felt the sheepishness. Is much amused again*

Oppy: -I tend to bring machines to life sometimes.-

Grelene: -I think I've heard of such. The kittens may have mentioned it.-

Oppy: -They've seen me do it before.-

Grelene: -*sends much amusement*-

Oppy: *feel of a sigh that's resigned but amused* -Now I have to find homes for them.-

Grelene: -Have fun.- *amused*

Oppy: -At least they're not as helpless as dragon babies.- *absently crosses his eyes to try and see a baby sister who is now hugging his face*

Grelene: -Still...-

Oppy: *removes little sister* -I should let you go.-

Grelene: -Yes...-

Oppy: *gently* -Good night.-

Grelene: -Goodnight.-

Oppy: *makes a mental click sound, and then looks around the room to check on everyone*

everyone: *asleep*

Oppy: *quiet sigh, and then walks over to see if Shadowwraithe has hugs*

Shadowwraithe: *has hugs for you, Oppy*

Oppy: *quiet sigh* Thanks.

Shadowwraithe: Anytime ^^

Oppy: Did you see Dad out there? *steps back slightly so that he can look at her*

Shadowwraithe: I may have. I think he's in our common area.

Oppy: Did he look busy?

Shadowwraithe: *thinks* Just going over paperwork

Oppy: Okay. *looks back at the dragons* Will you stay with them?

Shadowwraithe: *shifts to cat form* We will.

Oppy: Thanks. *calls softly to the biggest of the young Transformers, a hulking quadruped who used to be a packaging machine*

Packer: *comes over*

Oppy: *reaches up and scritches him*

Packer: *purrrr*

Oppy: *gently* Do you want to come see if we can find you some work to do?

Packer: Work? *perk*

Oppy: *grins* Maybe. And there's a family that will want to keep you. Will that be okay

Packer: ...Is okay.

Oppy: *grins proudly* *and offers a hug*

Packer: *happy purr. Likes hugs*

Oppy: *grins as he gives the baby a good squish* *then lets go and turns toward the door* Let's go see if we can find you a job. Then we'll find you a mom and dad, okay?

Packer: Okay

Oppy: *offers him a plushie*

Packer: *has plushie!*

Oppy: *slight grin, and then turns to lead him out of the subspace house*

Packer: *follows*

Oppy: *strides out of the side of the Seeker tree and heads for his dad*

Swindle: *going over today's sales*

Oppy: Dad, does it still count as a family business if one of the family is a fully automated packaging machine?

Swindle: Well, I don't see why not... What happened this time? *is amused--no, he has no idea about what happened, too busy with paperwork to notice*

Oppy: *seriously* First you have to promise not to project to anyone.

Swindle: *grin turns into a frown* ...I promise.

Oppy: *quietly* Lock down tight, except to me.

Swindle: *does so*

Oppy: *shows him*

Silver: *meanwhile is giving dandelion flowers to Packer*

Packer: *grin at flowers!*

Swindle: *looks like he's about to be sick, but luckily, he is not projecting his shock and disgust*

Oppy: *and then shows him Kitchi. And shows Something sleeping holding onto his lunch box* *and how well those wishbox lunches worked!*

Swindle: *calming down, and awwws at Kitchi and Something, and beems at the wishboxes*

Oppy: Do you think the Seekers would mind adopting a non Seeker? *looks down at the package Packer just put in his hands and scans it* Thank you. Packaged dandelion flowers will be useful.

Packer: *BEEM*

Swindle: They may use him as a perch as well... Lazerwave will have no trouble taking him in, and the others rarely question her in such matters.

Oppy: *grins at the happiness of the young workbot* Then I'd better go introduce him to them.

Swindle: *nods* *also working on transferring those images to a very secure area in his processor*

Oppy: *to Packer* This is the boss. Company CEO.

Packer: Good Boss?

Oppy: *pokes Swindle*

Swindle: *rubs the back of his neck* Well, I'm not sure about good...

Packer: Not like Old Boss?

Swindle: OH, no, nothing like your old boss...

Oppy: He's not a good boss. *turns toward the Seeker house* He's a great boss.

Swindle: *BLUSH HARD NOW*

Packer: Great Boss! ^^

Oppy: *grinning as he knocks on the Seeker house door*

TC: *in response to "TC answer the door"* I'm only getting the door because it should be my face they see! ...Oh. Hello, Optimus.

Oppy: Is your sister home? *absently pulls out chicken flavour cat treats and drops them*

furrySwindle: *IS THERE*

TC: Yes, she is. Lazerwave, Oppy wants you!

Lazerwave: Coming!

Oppy: *looks at Packer, and then gives him two of the treats* *quietly* You package these by putting them in there. *points to the fox*

Packer: *going to try and "package" those treats*

furrySwindle: Mrrph! *then noms!*

Oppy: *slight grin toward Lazerwave*

Lazerwave: What can I do for you Optimu... *sees Packer* ...You did it again, didn't you?

Oppy: *quietly* It was supposed to happen.

Lazerwave: Uh-huh. *smirk shifts to a smile* Any reason you brought him... Him? Over?

Oppy: Packer's a boy. And I was wondering if you'd like to add to your family.

Lazerwave: ...Can I wish for a larger room?

Oppy: Sure. Where do you want the increase?

Lazwewave: *thinks for a bit* ...Could I add "Where it should be increased"? Though I'm not sure he'll do well with our stairs as they are now...

Oppy: *looks at Packer* Do you want to be a downstairs bot?

Packer: *tilts head* Sure! *easy to please right now, now that he knows his new boss isn't like his old boss*

Oppy: *grins at Lazerwave* *then turns back to the newbot* This is your mom.

Lazerwave: *is suddenly HUGGED* Ack! Not so tight! And you'll have to be careful with your dad.

Oppy: Gently. You have to be as careful with them as you were when you packaged the flowers.

Packer: Gentle, sorry. *makes the hug gentle*

Seekers: *will now gather!*

Dirge: MY Nephew!

Oppy: *looks at furrySwindle* Hi, dad.

furrySwindle: *blink* *faint*

Skywarp: Ack, fainted brother in law! *gathers up!*

Oppy: ...Ooops.

Lazerwave: *snerks* He'll be alright.

Oppy: *checks Packer to see if the youngster was frightened by the faint*

Packer: *concerned, but not frightened. He'd seen enough injury and recovery at his old job... even if he doesn't really realize it... to not be afraid.*

Oppy: *offers him a blanket* *softly* Do you want to package dad? *knows Packer's seen what blankets are for*

Packer: Package Dad! *will carefully wrap up the fox*

Lazerwave: *snerks. She thinks that's adorable*

Oppy: *sigh and grin, and then add a big airy room to the back of the Seeker House*

Lazerwave: *is now cuddling her mate and leaning slightly on Packer*

Oppy: *looks at packaged fox and sees that Packer put his plushie into the package* *slight head shake at the cute* Do you need anything else, Lazerwave?

Lazerwave: At this time, no. I think we should be okay.

Ramjet: It's gonna be awful with him around!

Lazerwave: *pats Packer* Your uncle Ramjet speaks funny. He likes you.

Packer: Okay.

Oppy: *slightly unkind moment. He puts pizza flavoured gummi cheese on Ramjet as he turns to walk away*

Seeker brothers: *POUNCE Ramjet*

Ramjet: Ack! Keep it up!

Mixer: Grrrrr! *kicks the nearest ankle, but is too small to make her comment felt*

Lazerwave: Let me show you to your room, Packer.

Packer: Okay!

Oppy: *slight sigh as he watches them mentally, then goes and sits with his family as he watches over the injured dragons*
