Fireflight grinned and crouched down a bit, looking at the human who was currently perched on Wheeljack's shoulder with curiosity and friendliness. "Yup! I'm Fireflight!" He chirped excitedly. "And all six of us can fly! Even Superion, though he's not super-super good at it." A giggle. "But he can still fly, which he likes. Do you like to fly as well?" He'd noticed the helicopter she'd been working on. While some aerial-frame-types made a big deal about the distinction between rotaries and jet frames, he'd stopped caring. It was all flying, after all.

Wheeljack chuckled at Fireflight's inquisitiveness. "He's the youngest of the brothers, and is also the most inquisitive and curious. He will inundate you with 10,000 questions if you let him." he said good naturedly. "He also gets distracted easily, especially when he's flying. His brothers usually try to keep him focused though. He accidentally left the hole in the tarmac you probably saw when you landed. Reentry was a bit rough." He patted Fireflight's arm then, giving him a reassuring smile. "Their Sparks would die if they were ever grounded. Flying is the essence of their very lives. I sometimes flew with them back on Cybertron. They certainly loved chasing me through the skies trying to catch me or me trying to catch them. Air tag was one of their favorite games as Sparklings." he said with a warm tone, remembering those fond and beautiful memories he had with his young ones so long ago.

"I see, very cool." Cira replied, pausing to glance over at her chopper at Fireflight's question about liking to fly. "Yep yep, I love flyin! I'm a rated instructor, civlian, so non-military--Were it not for my pal KITT I would'a been in the Air Force as a fighter pilot a long time ago, as soon as I could get out of high school. But that plan changed when Dad offered me to take over drivin' KITT. That red R22 there is what I teach in, and as a side benefit I can rent it occasionally for little jobs like dis."
She pulled out her smart phone and added: "One sec, I'll get KITT over here so you can meet him, he's pretty interesting."
Once the text was sent, a few short moments later, the black Mustang with the red scanner approached from one. "Greetings, I am the Knight Industries Three Thousand, the one that has been spoken of." KITT greeted in his usual calm voice.

Fireflight grinned sheepishly as Wheeljack spoke about his inquisitiveness and distractedness. "I've been getting better!" He protested with a laugh. "And the landing could've been worse. I could've hit a building, but I didn't." He looked back at Cira as she spoke, listening with an attentiveness that was seen only when something had really caught his attention. When KITT approached, Fireflight turned to see. "Woah. Cool! He's kinda like us, except without the transforming and stuff!"

Wheeljack could only laugh at the introductions and Fireflight's reaction to KI3T. "Hiya KI3T. How're you doing? It's good to see ya again." He then looked at Fireflight and nodded. "His creators were human, but even though he is Earth made and can not transform, at least not into a bot form anyway, he is still every bit as alive as we are. Just because he's a different kind of Transformer doesn't make him any less a sentient mech." he offered, turning a smile towards KI3T and lightly laying his hand on the AI's roof, giving it a soothing and gentle rub. "He visits frequently, especially when Cira comes over. And we're always happy to see them both. Especially a certain silver bot I know." He offered Cira a smirk then. "You two gonna go on another run together? It certainly seems to brighten his day when you do. He likes the runs, likes to get out n about, though Ratchet still won't let him go unsupervised. Not that I can blame him, but the old bot needs to lighten up a bit." he chuckled and shook his head.

Cira laughed at Fireflight's reply about flying, and when KITT arrived, she smiled. "Actually he can kinda transform, just doesn't have a mech form." She glanced at the Mustang in admiration as Wheeljack knelt down to greet him.
KITT relaxed on his chassis a bit as Wheeljack greeted him by a gentle rub/pat on the hood, a gesture similar to what Cira did some times. When the hand was well enough away, KITT spoke up and transformed into Attack Mode and then his 4x4 mode to emphasize/demonstrate Cira's point - well, and to show off a bit. "Yes, I simply do not have a body, nor a holoform. I am attempting to create one, since I have external holographic projection."
Cira giggled. "He likes ta show off sometimes."
"I was simply demonstrating your point." KITT replied coolly.
Cira shook her head then, then added to Wheeljack: "And y'know I've been considering asking him, I'm always up for it...I know he's still recovering so I don't want ta risk him getting hurt or anything just by running around too much and whatnot..."

Fireflight's optics widened even more in amazement. "That's really cool! You've already got three forms, like a triple-changer, except without the mech form! I've got this one, Superion, and my jet form." He stepped back a bit and transformed into his F-4 Phantom II, the red body and white wings being very different from the standard coloration of a Phantom. "I can't wait to test it out!" To emphasize his point, the flaps on his wings wiggled a bit in excitement.

Wheeljack smiled at KI3T's demonstration, then laughed as Fireflight transformed and wiggled his wing flaps and ailerons. "Soon Fireflight, very soon. Hey, I've got an idea. Maybe you could take Cira for a flight sometime. You'd have to stay at lower altitudes though, humans can't survive too far up let alone outside their own atmosphere. She could tell you how far up you could go though, and be careful with takeoff and turns and such, too many G forces can kill a human." he said, letting Fireflight know he would have to be careful. He didn't see anything wrong with Fireflight making friends with the humans, as long as he was careful with them. And Cira was as good a first human friend as any at NEST, and she had plenty of energy to keep up with the young and excitable mech. He smiled proudly at the youngest of his five adopted Sparklings. He loved them, and he certainly could not wait to see the others again.

Cira smiled at Fireflight's own little demonstration - like the others, this one had character, and she always like that. Wheeljack's suggestion made her perk up and freak out from near uncontrollable excitement. "OH MY GOD REALLY?! That would be fantastical! I've never flown in a jet form like yours before! I think it'd be fun if you were up for it Fireflight, we should fly soon!!" Cira stood up and was about to jump up and down before she realized that probably wasn't the smartest idea while she was still perched on Wheeljack's shoulder.
"Flight is the one thing I cannot do, being the aviation enthusiast she is, it would be quite a treat." KITT piped in, agreeing with Wheeljack's idea.
"Yeees...in another world I very well may have been a fighter pilot, but KITT entered my life first, so, it didn't work out. But that's okay." Cira said with a smile.

Fireflight giggled and transformed back into his bi-pedal mode, grinning. "I wouldn't mind at all. It'd be fun! And I'll make sure to be careful, Dad." He grinned a bit. "We could go up whenever you wanted! I don't think the others would mind flying with you either." He then looked over at KITT. "Maybe you can ask to get an aerial form. Flying's really fun!"

Wheeljack laughed in response to their shared excitement. "Feel free, I don't mind. I know my little Flybots crave the open sky, you guys need it like humans need air to breathe." he offered with a smile as he reached over and patted Fireflight. "Just be careful to watch where you're going around here, there's a lot you can get yourself tangled in, like tall power lines and even taller trees. I don't think Ratchet would appreciate having to pull foliage and heavy cables out of your Ailerons every few days." he said with a good natured chuckle. He remembered how easily distracted Fireflight could get at times, and some of his more spectacular surprise landings as well.

"Sweet!" Cira giggled and danced around excitedly with a few steps, clearly ecstatic that she could fly with an Autobot. "Can we go now? Pleaaase?" She hoped the Bot wouldn't mind going up soon, she'd never had a chance to fly in a fighter jet before, and she had accepted the fact that given the job she'd chosen with Knight Industries, she'd never have the chance to join the military, between that and being an instructor, she was too busy. At least both jobs allowed her to earn pretty good money so she could have a home off base as well.

KITT regarded Fireflight's suggestion thoughtfully. "Perhaps I shall. Though I do not have the same feelings about it as you and Cira, I've been dropped places by parachute before, that was interesting enough. I was falling, but quite safely." Unlike Cira, he wasn't as passionate about flying though...perhaps it was because of what he was, that he was more used to being on the ground...he had never particularly enjoyed those cargo flights or parachute drops, of course, he had had little say in the matter.

Fireflight grinned even more. "Sure we can!" He chirped excitedly, transforming once more into his alt mode, the canopy of the cockpit opening to let Cira in. "It'll give me a chance to try out my new alt mode!" Now lacking actual limbs to twitch and fidget in anticipation, Fireflight allowed his wing flaps, tail rudder, and ailerons, the design of the F-4 Phantom lacking elevators.

Wheeljack couldn't help but laugh at how excited Fireflight was and he stepped over to offer Cira a boost up to the young Aerialbot's cockpit. "Just remember to be careful with her Fireflight, she's not space worthy and has to stay at lower altitudes without the right flight gear." he told Fireflight. "Like I said, he's just really excitable and easily distracted, but if you can keep him focused you'll do alright, Cira." he offered as he lifted her up so she could climb in. He then looked over at KI3T for a moment. "N if you want you n I can have a nice game of chess on your hood. That should be nice and relaxing, n let us chat about how things are going for you." he offered with a smile.
