A Midwinter Meeting (Bloodshock)

[Moonbeam]

December 25th, 2027//Northern Canada//8:45 pm Mountain Time

Moonbeam loved her siblings. She loved them more then her own Spark and would gladly break her personal Pacifist Oath if they were in danger. Her Oath had her swear she would not do harm, unless it was to aid. Like, if she had to harm someone to get them out of someplace that would kill them in the long run, she would, but that really didn't count. So, she had managed to get off base, with a half-recharging Mozart, who settled where he was supposed to and they took off. They had sailed off quickly and began to travel along until she found herself in Canada. She continued to travel along, already feeling Mozart slip into a deep recharge.

She smiled a bit on the inside at that.

He had had a long day.

She eventually came across a place she could transform and land without harming anything...hopefully. She would have kept to the cities but...well, maybe it would take her Trine to find her.

Just a bit.

She quickly transformed and, carefully, landed. She settled a bit, her wings twitched, and she made sure she landed as softly as she could. "Beautiful," she breathed as she stared at the sky.

Sometimes, she needed to ground herself to find the beauty in the expanse she flew.

[Bloodshock]

Bloodshock was also one to travel, enjoying the wonders of Earth since his landing some many years earlier and this day he had traveled to the country of Canada. Much like other places he had visited the landscape was quite beautiful, making him want to just cruise and watch the place from the road and not cause damage to it. But sometimes there were times one had to get up close and personal with things and this one of those times he managed to find some place to pull off to and transform.

Stretching slightly Bloodshock glanced around, smiling slightly behind his mask as he viewed the landscape and began to carefully trek deeper into the landscape and view from a 'hiker's' point of view. It fascinated him all the time to pass through such natural wonders like mountains, plains, or forests, sometimes even rock formations were interesting to look at. But as he continued a signal captured the bounty hunter's attention and it made him tense a bit as he moved quietly with practiced ease to follow this signal.

Stopping on a slightly higher elevation then Moonbeam which gave him a little advantage to spot her. It surprised him to see a seeker way out here. But thinking through his memory banks he had never seen her among the Decepticons but her insignia said it all for that reason, she was an Autobot seeker not a Con one. But he wasn't there to make a scene, only enjoy the sceneary so he merely sat down cross legged and settled into a more relaxed posture, well away he could be seen.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam let her vents cycle some air as she stared up at the sky. It was a certain allure to it, it almost made her want to take off again, tearing off as fast as she could into the sky and see how far she could go before she had to call for help because she had run out of energy to fly. She was certain it would shock her siblings and her wings twitched slightly. She probably would have continued her contemplation of the night sky if she hadn't seen something. She turned and she felt a jolt of fear run through her Spark, though she sub-consciously insured that it would not run down the Bond.

"Oh..." she let out, but barely.

She was a bit terrified that someone had, one, managed to sneak up on her and two...was probably not an Autobot. Her wings twitched slightly, showing her nervousness, and she just stared at Bloodshock, not that she knew his name.

Moonbeam cycled her air to calm herself down and her terror disappeared. The other hadn't tried to run her through, she was fine. ~"Greetings,"~ she greeted softly, her voice melodic and gentle.

[Bloodshock]

Bloodshock almost didn't seem to react to Moonbeam, sensing her fear of him briefly in her frame and waited patiently until she spoke first and he finally looked towards her. ~"Good evening, miss."~ He said in neutral and somewhat kind tone. He knew his insignia's along his legs would make him public enemy number one to most autobots, yet he wasn't there to torment the seeker nor force her to fall into even more fear of him. Bloodshock was only there to enjoy the scenary as much as anyone.

Glancing to the darkening sky he smiled a bit,~"Beautiful out here don't you think? Not every day we get a chance to see such natural wonders."~ He said casually, not wanting to cause the hostility to rise between them.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam relaxed more. Oh, good, he wasn't going to rip her to pieces. Suddenly, this conversation because a whole lot easier and probably, at the same time, a lot more dangerous. Her wings shifted slightly, relaxing at that, and she gave a tiny nod, before she stared up at the sky, following his own look. ~"No, not everyday. But...I guess that's what makes it so special,"~ she answered calmly, though there was still that warning in her Spark that reminded her that, of the two of them, he was the one who would win in a fight.

She resisted the urge to tell said voice to shut up.

~"Have you been able to see such sights often?"~ she inquired as she stared at the sky.

She might as well attempt conversation.

[Bloodshock]

~"Hm, yes many times since I crashed on this planet which was about seventeen years ago. But that means nothing as this planet seems to always have something interesting."~ Bloodshock said in a rather kind, soft tone. To most autobots this would come off as quite odd, normally some of his faction were gruff, rude, and cruel, especially in tone so they could be intimidating yet for this Bloodshock lacked that tone and attitude. He wasn't there to harm anyone, only enjoy something.

Looking to the seeker at last from behind his visor he shrugged,~"And I do apologize if my presence makes you uncomfortable miss, but I am not trying to cause anything. Not all Decepticons are like...Megatron, just as an example. Some of us have our own agendas and they are not all destructive."~ He said to her in sincere voice, showing nothing for an underlying threat of any kind but trying to be truthful to this femme.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam relaxed a bit. ~"I would be in very deep trouble if you were here for nefarious purposes. I take my medic's oath very seriously,"~ she answered calmly, deciding that if he was at least pretending to be truthful, at worst, and being truthful at best, she could do the same. And, while she didn't not expect Decepticons, as a whole, to act honorably, deceit was practically in their name, but she was going to trust him not to kill her at this time.

It was not a field of battle and she was not going to attack him, even if it was. Instead, she relaxed and turned her optics skyward. At worst, he would kill her. It would be bad, yes, but she fully trusted Mozart to awaken if she was in serious danger.

She did not trust the Decepticon as much as she trusted Mozart.

[Bloodshock]

Bloodshock looked at the sky, for once having the luck of a sane bot,~"A medic huh? I am assuming your not much for fighting?"~ He asked somewhat curious. There were medics who could and would fight in the war, next to their medic duties but there were some who preferred to strictly do their medic job only. Fighting was rare for them and they did this often for when it was truly needed. Perhaps this seeker was one of those medics,~"And my intentions to harm would have been pretty clear, with you having been so vulnerable I could have had you pinned before you could react."~He pointed out.

What Bloodshock didn't know was that Moonbeam had a symbiote but he only said this as to give a point. He was one of those who snuck up on his opponents, mostly having a purpose to seek a certain transformer out and attack them with stealth, speed, and agility to take them out and catch them off guard. But with no such intent he had been relaxed and allowed this femme to know he was there,~"By the way I'm Bloodshock."~ He added.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam considered him for a minute before she answered, ~"I don't fight at all. I think I have defended myself only when I have to, with no choice but to do so."~ It was something she probably shouldn't have admitted to the Decepticon. It really didn't matter, she decided, as that she was probably never going to meet this Decepticon again, especially not in the field of battle. She settled more, calm and she turned to look back up at the night sky, optics almost scanning the sky for everything that gleamed and shined.

It was beautiful.

Bloodshock's voice brought her back. She looked back over and she inclined her head. ~"Quite true. And I'm Moonbeam,"~ she responded calmly, before she looked back at the sky.

She would not bring up Mozart. There was no need to. He was peacefully recharging and would probably remain so until something awoke him. ~"Is this your regular place to come and observe the natural beauty or do you choose a random place every time?"~ she inquired, keeping the conversation going.

[Bloodshock]

~"Random places actually, there are so many places to see and find peace I can never choose one place to stay or find as my 'own resting place', so to speak. Earth has too many wonders to not look into all of them."~Bloodshock responded sincerely as he glanced back at the sky and looked at the stars. For the most part he liked to find the constellations, finding them rather interesting as the humans found them and named them so many interesting names. The type of names the humans came up with were staggering.

Though the thought did occur to him to maybe inform Moonbeam of what side he really was on, trying to get through to it at least. He still wasn't quite there yet of turning over to their side completely but he was slowly progressing, maybe sometimes to change his insignia to show it, but not yet.~"By the way Moonbeam this will be hard to believe but I am in the process of coming to the Autobot side, it's not official but it's a possibility."~ He finally admitted, not knowing how she would quite react.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam nodded a bit. ~"Quite true. Earth certainly is amazing,"~ she answered softly and let her optics search for the constellations that would be here this time of night, in the Northern Hemisphere. Her head twitched to the side slightly and the she turned to focus on him. Her optics regarded him and she nodded a bit.

~"Be careful then. I do not think that they are very forgiving to those who change sides. On that note, however, I am a medic. If there was a way for me to give you a way to contact me if you needed aid, should that possibility in the worst case scenario come to pace, I would give it. However, I am....unused to contacting those outside my Trine privately,"~ she answered calmly, deciding to just take him at face value.

Besides, if he turned out to by lying, it would only sting her pride for awhile.

[Bloodshock]

~"I'm aware of the dangers and consequences for my choice in turning sides, but I am willing to take the risk for more reasons then one. Besides I've had some convincing from an unlikely human friend I made not too long ago."~Bloodshock said, smiling behind his mask when he thought of Newt. She had been the one to press for him to at least try and he was further pressed mostly because he wanted a chance for a better life and to be able to be with the one he loved. Those reasons were worth taking no matter what.

Turning his attention once more on Moonbeam he merely nodded slightly,~"If you wish to Moonbeam but you do not have to. Mostly I will strike out on my own so there's really no need for it, even if I do need aid I've managed being a lone warrior for some time but I can show you that proof if you want."~He told her.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam wondered what human had managed to change a Decepticon's mind. That one person must have had an interesting sort, if he, or she, to have made a strong impression on Bloodshock. She looked at him and wondered if he would be safe, in the end. If his choices would lead him to a better life, and Moonbeam, in her way, just wanted to do anything possible to help that come true. To help another have a life that was better then the one before.

Moonbeam smiled a bit. ~"I do not offer it because I have to, but because I wish to help you the best way I know how. I am, unfortunately, a pacifist in a middle of a war. And I wish only to help. I joined because I followed my Trine Leader. That is mostly it. That, and I hope to one day to be considered a friend. So, maybe, it is for a personal reason as well. But it is only if you wish to accept it. I wish you well, either way, and I am secure in the knowledge that we shall see each other again,"~ she responded softly, hoping she didn't come off as pushy or demanding.

She shifted her weight and focused above again.

For now, she was happy on Earth.

But, Moonbeam did not think it would last.
