Transformers-'verse, Nellis AFB, investigating

When she stepped off of the Cessna and walked out onto the flight line at Nellis AFB, Vanessa Raymond didn't know what to expect.

She'd dealt with the military before - as an aide to the Secretary of Defense, such dealings were an inevitability. However, when one threw giant alien robots into the mix, things got decidedly weird.

She wondered if her training in forensics was going to come in handy at all here. She was used to blood spatters and DNA samples, dead bodies and mysterious causes of death. All she had in this case was one human victim who had already been buried (cause of death? bullet wound from standard M-24 US army-issue sniper rifle), and a mechanical victim who... well, she hadn't exactly figured that out quite yet.

The plane's engines shift from idling to silence and it's only then that Vanessa heard the rumbling of another engine.

This was from a very large, very good-looking Peterbilt big-rig, with a custom paint job that was almost comical. She grabbed her luggage and strode purposefully over to it.

"Afternoon," she said, standing below its driver-side door with a grin. "Mr. Peters."

"'Die Hard'," says Sam without looking as he dives into the mini fridge for the salad dressing.

"Again," adds Mikaela.

"There's some Bruce Willis movie on here every night." Mikaela looks at the salad thoughtfully, then looks in the pasta pan. "Are we forgetting something?"

"Right!" Sam turns and books out of the hanger.

"The bread's warming in a metal box outside." Mikaela sets things out on the impromptu counter, grinning as Sam returns with the foil-wrapped half loaf, which is slightly squashed.

"Hmmm." Mikaela's looking in the fridge now. "Do you like pickles? We've got some cucumber ones."

Then she looks over her shoulder. "Bee! That's what you were just throwing things at him for suggesting!"

"Shhh," says Bee without turning from where she's contentedly snuggling with her sparkmate.
