Sideswipe watching Notitia before turning to where Caliene had indicated, listening to what it was used for. "Well ladies we better get started then." Sideswipe said with grin as he skated over to some rubble and started picking up a few larger pieces though was careful not to take too much. As he moved to where Caliene had indicated Sideswipe wondered if the others had noticed he had snuck out. So he was suppose to help with some things a bit later but a nice break really was needed. Setting the rubble down he noticed some pieces got on his chest and shrugged, ehading back for more.

Sniggering at Sideswipe, seing the dust and debris on his front, she turned and started to gather up what smaller debris she could handle herself without causing too much injury to herself.
After acouple hours of straight up moving debris, Cali stopped and took a long drink of her canteen and munched down on one of her MRE's fom her pack near the Skip filling up with debris, she ate silently and pondered on how her design would look after it was done. So taking a short reprieve she closed her eyes and started to visualize the buildings where she was going to build them.
Slowly turning on her old MP3 that was on her sleeve pocket of her coveralls, the first strains of "Edge of Glory" by Lady GaGa could be heard through her earbuds since she had the volume up somewhat so that she didn't need them in her ears to hear it.
After what seemed to be hours but was in reality only minutes, she opened her eyes to see that both Sideswipe and Notitia had stopped and were talking to each other in their strange language of clicks, whistles and whirs. What they were talking about she had no idea, but she hoped that it wasn't her, for if it was she was sure she would feel weirder than she did now... she was sure her ears were burning, and since she was in the shade, she kew it wasn't from the heat of the sun.

After working for a couple hours Sideswipe stopped and flexed his arms a few times to give them a break, though noticed he was pretty dusty and had some dirt on him. All well he could wash it off later. ~"Hey Notitia tired yet?"~ He asked in Cybertronian giving her playful grin wondering if his old friend was tired at all yet. He wasn't just needing to gve his arms a break though he turned when hearing a bit of music from Caliene and shook his head, he thought bots at base played their music loud but seemed some humans did too. Looking away he glanced at the landscape smiling a bit.~"Man wait till this finished sure the others will be glad for another place, think they are memorizing everything at base by now."~ He said before looking Notitia,~"Though it'll be great to have you around again Noti, missed you quite a bit."~ He admitted.

Notitia stumbled slightly when Sideswipe's voice talking in Cybertronian came up behind her.
~"Hey Notitia tired yet?"~ he asked her, and turning to face him she nodded slightly before dropping the final piece of debris she had in her servo's before answering, ~"Kinda tired, but that's to be expected after a rough landfall, and then choosing and Alt. Mode before starting work on clearing debris from a demolition job, that I think Caliene had a hand in it. The reason I say this is because my sensors are picking up rather large amounts of C-4 explosive residue on her jumpsuit and skin."~
She sat down gently next to the skip and sighed through her vents releasing alot of the hot air her systems had made during the clean-up of the section they were in. She was about to ask Caliene a question, except that Sides asked her another.
~"Man wait till this finished sure the others will be glad for another place, think they are memorizing everything at base by now."~ he said before looking back towards her, ~"Though it'll be great to have you around again Noti, missed you quite a bit."~ he added in a much quieter tone.
Notitia just looked at the silver Mech she had called friend for vorns, and thought about what he had just said before answering him.
~"I think that most of those who have arrived at Base, have most definately absorbed the place's layout within the first couple of hours. Plus I am glad to see you as well after all this time apart. It was lonely not having a friend to talk with on the journey here, although the different systems were rather interesting, just wish that you and Sunny were with me to experience the sights I saw in the cosmos."~
Getting up and walking over to Sideswipe, Notitia pulled a cleaning cloth and wax from her subspace and started to wipe off some of the dust and dirt from his paint, before rubbing the wax in to the paint making it shine, she knew that if Sunstreaker were here he would be complaining that Sideswipe was getting done first, causing her to chuckle at the picture that conjured in her processor.
After deaming sideswipe clean and shiney again, she sat down and unsubspaced a ration cube of Energon and drank it down slowly and then handed one to Sideswipe before settling down for a quick recharge, her systems were telling her that the rest would help recharge her systems better now and then they reminded her to see Ratchet as the CMO to get a full once over before starting her job as normal.

Sideswipe smiled and nodded as he looked at her, wishing he had been able to but even him and Sunstreaker had been separated but things hadn't been easy from then on. Now it seemed just slightly relaxed around the place but only just and sometimes even Sideswipe had to stop and think what he was going to do as he got older for even a immature mech like him was changing as he got older. Sighing he looked at Notitia smiling when she polished his armor, though he could have waited he let her do so and recharge for now. She needed it after a long journey like that.
While they were on break Sideswipe skated away from the two for now and sat down, looking at the sky for now as he reflected on the past for a moment then his thoughts seemed to wander, thinking of his brother and what he could be doing.~"Primus Sunny I may never say this often but I miss ya bro."~ He said softly and laid a hand over his Spark hating the feeling of their bond being so distant he could hardly feel his brother or even say anything to him.
Sometimes it was just a rough part of life that seemed to give you a kick in the ass. And it was starting to with Sideswipe.

Cali watched as Sideswipe rolled away after having Notitia polish his paint job and the Femme sitting down and falling into a light recharge. She pondered on what the Silver Mech was thinking about, was it about the others on Base or was it about Notitia being here? She really had no idea what he was thinking and decided to leave him be for a while.
She got up slowly and grabbed her pack. Rifling through it she grabbed her sketch pad and pencils and started to sketch what she was thinking about. After a short while - maybe only 45 minutes at best - she turned the sheet over and sketched Sideswipe as he was sat, after getting the rough lines and such down, she penciled in the rest of the details and then turned the page again to sketch Notitia.
Cali really enjoyed sketching anything that came to her mind or whatever she saw around her that got her creativity going, and the two Cybertronian's had given her a pair of excellant subjects to sketch. After getting Notitia down on paper, she moved over to the old Camaro that Notitia had chosen as her Alt. Mode and sketched that down roughly before moving back to her original spot and finishing the details she wanted on the vehicle.
If she had the time later on she would get the car back up and running, along with an awesome paint job that would do the vehicle proud. Pit, maybe she could even take it to car shows and the like once it was done. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts once more she continued to sketch the car and started to add some shading and color, this she would definatley take her time to finish since it would be her outline for her personnal project.

After a while Sideswipe stood and let his wrist blades come out before practicing his strikes from uppercuts to head on attacks, just to somewhat pass the time but he probably should have been enjoying the day. It never seemed much else was on the silver mech's mind other then training and well nothing but war in general. It was what he was built for, what he had been trained to do side some time after he came online. Flash backs of his training with Ironhide soon came to his processor and he began to start ducking or dodging, striking for imaginary vital areas.
For now his mind seemed completely in training and combat mode, seeing enemies he knew were only in his mind but it did wonders for what to expect in a real fight. Ducking towards the side Sideswipe rolled on his shoulderthen came up on one knee aiming his machine gun from his back then letting fall back and stand again speeding forward to strike towards knee level and then spinning low in a sweep kick. The world around him seemed to fade from the open farm land to a ruined battle field, ravaged by years of war and now fighting breaking out once more on it. Sideswipe only seemed to become more aggressive in his attacks as one thing flashed in his processor to the next.
But soon the settlement he had been assigned to protect seemed to appear in front of his optics, the devastation was spark shattering and the torment of it driving him to strike at his long dead foe Demolished. The wicked laugh, optics almost glinting with glee and triumph, the look of bloodlust in the cons optics...with a furious battle cry Sideswipe crossed his blades speeding forward and slashing his foe to pieces. Though he blinked realizing he had let that vision go to far, staring down what had once been a large tree now mostly pieces of fire wood or splinters scattered along the ground. "Oh primus not again..." He murmured running a hand over his face after retracting his blades,"Went too far." He scolded himself.

Notitia started awake with a growl and pulled her weapon out of subspace, primed and ready after hearing Sideswipe's furious battle cry, the thing going through her processor was 'Are the 'Cons attacking, and where is Caliene?'
She quickly looked around and spotttd the poor tree, well the remains of the poor tree that Sideswipe had pretty much made non-existant. All that was left of the tree was toothpick's and a small amount of wood for the fireplace in the farm house that Caliene was staying in.
Walking up to Sideswipe, Notitia gently placed a servo on his shoulder and hugged him slightly as she asked him what the problem was. "Sides? What in the name of Primus are you doing? What's wrong, what was with the battle cry? You have me worried, Mech. Please tell me what the problem is and maybe I can help you through it." came her worried but caring tone, she was truely worried about her friend of many vorns, and without his twin here to help him out it was now up to her.
She then moved and stood in front of him and held his wrists just above where his blades were and stared into his optics awaiting his reply, but she vowed that she would help him out no matter what.

Sideswipe couldn't believe he let his past suddenly get involved in his suppose to be training session, yes it haunted him but he didn't think to the point a three hundred year old tree now lied in pieces near him. Looking at Notitia he let himself relax for a Monet, breathing deeply to let the brief burst of anger leave and so he could speak to his old friend which he could see she was worried."I'm sorry Noti I just got a bit side tracked while training, past still haunts me sometimes and well I get carried away to the point something similar becomes like this tree." He said
Shaking his head he looked at her once more in the optics,"Just now I remembered a settlement I was assigned to protect and saw the ruins, the bots I could not save, the bloodlust in Demolisher's optics..." He trailed off then and Sideswipe looked back at the tree still angry with himself for letting this carry on that far again but he knew the Decepticon he had hated with a passion that he caused damage to Montevideo in Uruguay when he had heard of the mech was dead and scrapped.

Giving Sideswipe a hug in understanding, Notitia then turned back towards the work area hey had cleared and sighed they could really use some of their heavy lifters here right now, but knowing her luck they would be out on a mission of some sort.
Finally giving in the temptation to just glomp Sideswipe into a smile - even if it was a small one - she walked over to Caliene and looked at the now forgotten sketch pad.
"Now that looks like a Mech I know..." she said to the human below her and then said, "And I really like the Camaro sketch you did, the color scheme really suits it. And you have a real eye for detail if your building sketches are anything to go by."
Sitting down next to Caliene as she waited for her to reply, Notitia glanced once more towards Sideswipe and prayed to Primus that his Twin would get here soon.

Caliene looked up as Notitia walked over and perused her forgotten sketch book, she was still shoocked to see what had once been a 300 year old Oak tree reduced to splinters and the occasional chunk of firewood.
Giving a sigh and making a mental note to have Sideswipe possible help with cutting firewood for the winter months, she turned her full attention back to Notitia.
"Thanks, they aren't too good, but they work until I can sit down at a desk and do them up better than what I have here. And Sideswipe is a rather good looking subject to sketch, both in Alt. Mode as well as Bi-pedal mode. I got one of the Camaro you chose because I am hoping to do up the old thing at some point, maybe even give it to one of mah siblings as a present. Especially after I get it done the way I want it done. As for the building plans.... well that's part and parcel of working with demolitions, ya gotta know where the weak parts of a building or other structure are for maximum use of what explosives you are using." she said and then turned her attention to the sketch pad and turned the pages slowly to look at each picture and a few others that no-one else had seen before now.
Relaxing slightly, she found a clean page and started to sketch Notitia as she stood up and looked around.

Sideswipe watched Notitia head of to Caliene but Sideswipe looked at the tree he had destroyed and got the bigger pieces of wood while leaving the smaller ones to just lie there. After gathering it he skated over to the two and set the wood in a pile before leaning over Notitia's shoulder and over Caliene's head to see what they were doing."Nice sketches Cali, didn't know you were an artist." He said and smiled,"Sure you and my twin would get along there, he was one before the war. Really was great but haven't seen him for years now." He sighed before he stood and looked at his friend,"And for the glimpsing earlier Noti..." He grinned and glomped her as payback from earlier.

Notitia, who was smiling at Sidewipe mentioning how his twin would get on well with Caliene in the Art department, was completely thrown for a loop as Sideswipe said, "And for the glimpsing earlier Noti..." causing her to squawk in surprise as he proceded to glomp her back for when she had pretty much done the same to him. She realised that the human phrase 'Payback is a bitch!' was pretty apt.
After getting throughly glomped by her life long friend, she hugged him and said, "I guess I really should have seen that coming huh? Well at least it was you, otherwise we would have had problems!"
After being allowed to get back up, she wondered back over to where Caliene was, since the 'glomping' had taken them a fair distance from her in terms of safety. Looking at the pile of wood that Sideswipe had brought over she made a mental note to find more for Caliene to satck near the house for ease in the winter months, which were only a few months away and according to what she was able to find out... the winters on the North-East coast of the United States could be brutal if humans weren't prepared for them.
Finally getting a good look at the sketch Caliene had done of herself before Sideswipe's unexpected 'glomp', she was pleased to see that she had most of the details down. Just a few things left to add in and it would be ready for inking and colors. What made her laugh was the rather rough sketch on the next page that Caliene had done of Sides and Herself in the glomping, with her on the ground and Sideswipe all but sat on her a smirk on his faceplates and a servo ready to tickle her into submission. how Caliene had done that as quick as she did was beyond her, but she figured any talanted person or 'bot could do so if they had a head for details and a fast servo/hand.

Sideswipe grinned before he let Notitia get back to her feet and he moved back over to see Caliene’s drawing, thinking she was rather talented and not to mention quite fast. Seeing the art made Sideswipe really miss his egotistical brother but the good thing was he knew Sunstreaker was alive just somewhere out in the distance solar system doing primus only knew what. Sighing softly the mech turned and began to move more debris away just to keep himself distracted and not to end up making another poor tree into tooth picks or firewood, hell he could cut pieces for Caliene to make a house if she wanted to. Though that was something he wanted to avoid for now. One outburst was enough for one day.

Caliene decided to pack up her sketching pad and utensils into her Pack and get back to clearing more debris from the working area. It was going to take time, but she figured that with her two Cybertronian friends helping her they would get this place cleared and the rebuilding started for her plans of a Retreat/Training Area for those at NEST, the fact that it was a Privately owned area was a huge bonus in her mind and one that she was sure her superiors would agree with.
Muttering under her breath as she lifted a particularly large bit of concrete and rebar, she knew the other two would probably find it funny as she said, "Back to the ol' Grindstone and we'll have this place ready in a couple of months, especially once the others get wind of what we've done so far."
She was determined to get it all ready and useable by Mid September, Late October by the latest. Especially with the cold weather that would be moving in by then, it just made more sense to her and her planning. Busying herself, she continued on.
