"Correct, been here barely a month though." Joanne replied, returning a brief smile up at Wheeljack. She glanced over at Wash. "And yeah I guess, I'm studying for my next promotion. Got started on it a while ago after reviewing Cybertronian anatomy and medical processes with Ratchet. It's been so long since I've had to be prepared to provide medical assistance with Cybertronians. Been a pretty busy month honestly. It's a little difficult warming up to people because of my admittedly shy nature, but this is a great environment for a medic, that's for sure." she shut off the tablet to save power. "Was just headed to my Jeep to go for a drive and get a meal, if either of you need to get out and stretch some joints you're more than welcome to tag along. I ought to try and socialize more honestly. Tis nice meeting you both though." she laughed briefly in slight awkwardness, adjusting her BDU top and the buldge represented by the "cover" in her left main pocket.
Well, they seemed pretty nice, possibly worth getting to know if they expressed interest in chatting a little bit or tagging along. Having only just met Wash, it would take a while before she could deem him a potentially good friend, but she was willing to try with these two. The femme hoped that maybe, just maybe she could hold at least a brief, casual conversation with these two.

"I already got lunch a little bit ago, but I wouldn't mind tagging along for conversation." Wash replied. "And a medic, huh? Well, you seem to be taking to it better than I would. Just give me something that flies, and I'd be more than happy to show you what it can do." He gave a friendly grin to the shy medic, hoping he could help make her feel more at ease.

Wheeljack grinned and stood up. "Instant hot wheels, comin' up!" he announced and promptly transformed to his white and blue Mustang alt mode. He then popped open his doors for them. "Climb on in, guys, and let me know where ya wanna go for food." he told them, waiting for the two of them to get settled before shutting his doors and heading towards the gate to take them off base. He greatly enjoyed meeting new people and making friends, and he rather liked humans. They were a small and physically delicate race, but their strength of will and adaptability certainly made them far stronger than they appeared to be.

There was no way Jo would refuse a free ride from an Autobot. It was her first, after all. Being a Pretender and able to transform, she technically wasn't that impressed even though she was usually out-sized by other Bots, but she had never actually had a reason to hitch a ride with one like this. She decided that m may as well take the opportunity anyway. That made this encounter even more interesting and it would allow her to get over the initial awkwardness even though she was still a little timid naturally. "Chinese food sounds good right now, not sure about you. I'm not that picky though. Just happy to get out and get to know some new faces. I really need to get out more honestly but such is life" she shrugged a little at that note.

Wash could not help but gape a bit as Wheeljack transformed, he was still getting used to living on a base with giant, transforming, alien robots. Grinning, he climbed in, strapping himself down with the seat belt. "Chinese works for me, if it's good Chinese." He replied with a chuckle. "I'm up for anything as well, really. Why don't you surprise us, 'Jack?"

Wheeljack considered the options and did a search on line for the best Chinese places to eat at. Once he had found what appeared to be a good one, he turned and drove for the gate. "I think you guys are gonna like this one." he said cheerfully as he headed down the road. "You know, I really enjoy meeting new people and humans are a very interesting species. You're a lot like us in a lot of ways, yet so very different at the same time. I like discovering that, what's different n what's the same between us; you all have two genders but we don't, your little bodies don't transform but we do, your neural system runs on electricity and so does ours, though our systems use quite a bit more energy than yours, you have emotions like we do, you can love and hate, you can get excited about something or bored by other things, you have different interests in different things, n while everyone in your species basically looks the same outside of body colors, you still display just how unique each of you are just like we show our uniqueness on the outside even though we're all the same on the inside, just like humans are all the same inside. But everyone is different and yet you pull together and take care of each other like we do. Sure you've had wars n such, but you humans are capable of so much! It's no wonder Optimus likes your species and seeks to protect you the way he does." he rambled excitedly to them as he drove, more than happy to be talking to humans and sharing his insight about their race compared to his own kind.

"I completely agree with you, Wheeljack." Joanne nodded sincerely in agreement, as a Pretender adopting a human-like form, her small figure was easily deceptive even to some less observant Cybertronians. Her statement could be taken from either context, as a human or as Cybertronian. "Chinese is good as long as it's not super cheap, then it tends to upset my stomach a bit."
The strong aromas caught her attention as soon as they entered the restaurant. "Well my nose certainly approval of this choice so far." she adds later with a brief chuckle.

Wash took a sniff as well, letting out an approving hum. "Aiya!" He exclaimed. "You found somewhere that's authentic, didn't you? It has been too long since I've been to one. I may have to try a bit of it." He looked over at Jo, the friendly grin still in place. "Have you ever had authentic Chinese? If not, and this is one of those places, then you're in for a real treat!"
(Aiya: damn)

Wheeljack grinned inwardly, and once the two had gotten out, he activated his holoform, which climbed out of the car and grinned at them. "Only the best for my friends." he announced and followed them inside. Once inside and the three of them got seated and their food ordered, Jack sat back in his chair and looked at the two of them. "I'm really glad I made it here." he told them. "There's so much I have to be grateful for, and it's all right here; my friends, my lil ones, all of it." he added with a soft grateful sigh. Just from his posture, the look on his face, and the glint in his eyes, it was very clear he was a bot who dearly loved his life and those he shared it with; a trait many Autobots seemed to share.

Joanne couldn't help but smile again, at the two that she was now getting to know. "Here here, 'Jack," Joanne replied in sincere agreement. "I have had authentic Chinese before, Wash. But it's been a while. I don't eat as much as I should, but I do dine a little more luxuriously on occasion."
Her Cybertronian signature would be hard to detect, but she wondered if Wheeljjack would catch on before long. She turned some of her attention to the menu, considering what to get.

Wash laughed. "That makes you very lucky! Not having a car makes it a little difficult for me to get around outside the base, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't appreciate me getting delivery sent out here. Still, I've had worse from mess halls." The laughter turned into a chuckle. "And if I haven't said it already, Wheeljack, I'd really like to meet your kids."

Jack grinned at the both of them, happy to be spending the afternoon with new friends. "If you need to go somewhere off base, all ya gotta do is ask. I'm sure someone would be happy to take you." He leaned forward as if about to share some secret. "Could ask Jazz, he's always looking to sneak off base and get away for a bit." he offered with a wink. He then looked over at Joanne with a bit of a smile. "Maybe you should eat more regularly. I know humans require regular sustenance throughout the day every day because your bio-metabolic rate goes through the organic fuel fairly rapidly." he remarked, having done quite a bit of research on human biology, especially with the fact that he needed a comparison to help keep ahead of the biological requirements of Techno Organics like Ratchet's 'son', Damien. Knowing she wasn't eating regularly by her own admission, Wheeljack grew slightly concerned and began a passive scan of her. What shocked him was the energy signature he detected and Jack gave Jo a curious look, though he said nothing about it outwardly. Running a more specialized scan confirmed it, but still he kept silent. It seemed she deliberately passed herself off as human, hiding her true origins from everyone, and had likely done so for a reason. He dismissed it for now, not wanting to disrupt their time out together, and instead continued with the conversation. "And speaking of good food, I look forward to this. I rarely take in human food, so this should be very interesting." he remarked with a grin.

"As do I." Joanne replied. When they were all ready to order their drinks. "I think just about anyone can appreciate the diversity of food from one culture to another. Of course, America's food culture is kind of a conglomerate of others aside from fried fatty foods." she commented with a grin while debating about what to get. She loved sea food but she also liked stir fry, as well as Teriyaki beef. Despite the fact that she was more or less better adjusted to being a human on Earth, she never forgot that she was actually Cybertronian. There were definitely bonuses to enjoying the human lifestyle, though, that was for sure!

"Don't get me started on fast food." Wash replied with a chuckle, making a bit of a "blech" face. "Never got into eating it, really. There's no taste to it, in my opinion. I don't get what all the hype is about. Good old home-cooking is generally better, and better for you.'

Jack had to laugh at that. "And just like us, you got your own preferences for what you like too." he remarked with a grin. "Seems like every day I find more ways we're alike, you know?" Wheeljack was clearly enjoying himself with his two new friends, and though questions stirred in the back of his mind about Jo, he was content with what he had now - an outing with friends. As they ordered their food, his exuberance seemed contagious as even their waiter had started smiling in a more relaxed manner by the time he stepped away from their table to deliver their order to the kitchen staff.
