{:: I am Sceptre. ::} He introduces himself, may as well if they're going to talk right?

000

{:: My loyalty is not with the Autobots, my loyalties are to my brother. He is my only passenger and he currently is no need of me so I am flying. For his sake. You too do not seem to have any passengers. ::} Sceptre comments, yes he wasn't picking up on any other signatures within Astrotrain.

100

Sceptre remained calm as Astrotrain moved to fly beside him, he didn't seem bothered by the others presence despite their threat to attack him if he bumped them again, he had done it unintentionally of course but he couldn't blame him for being upset.

100

It was a warning of what would happen if he did decide to attack him for a simple little bump. Not that he didn't understand why he was upset, it's just not something he would personally be upset over.

000

{:: I apologize for bumping into you. I did not see you, or notice you...but if you attempt to do damage to my thrusters I will have no choice but to take you out. I hope you understand. ::} Said so casually as well, he wasn't trying to threaten Astrotrain.

100

{:: Hmm. ::} For a moment Sceptre didn't attempt to speak back on it, but if this mech damaged him to the point where he wouldn't be able return to his brother...it would be very bothersome.

100

At first he said nothing, continuing to cruise forward in silence while the unhappy company followed. When they showed no signs of leaving he spoke. {:: No. ::} Ah, he was never good with strangers.

000

-was okay with him gone. It was only when Astrotrain spoke that he noticed their signature, another shuttle? A Decepticon it seemed...not like he was really an Autobot but the brand was probably hard to miss.

Sceptre didn't even seem to notice the other shuttle, to him they were small and he wasn't exactly paying attention to where he was going... Sunder jus told him to go take a flight around, stretch his wings and not be holed up in the docks. But he was still thinking about his brother, hoping he-

100

He says he's fine yet he seemed upset. It wasn't rocket science to know that the questions were bothering him. He didn't blame him of course, he could understand that it bothered him. "...very well brother." His attention then returned to Rodimus who had just thought of his next question.

010

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

Sceptre watched Sunder silently as Rodimus took in the information seeming oblivious to how Sunder was...reacting to sharing such personal information about himself. " Brother....are you alright?" Sceptre asks showing concern for his little brother. He doesn't mean to upset him.

000

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

He is still kind but is selective with who he is friendly with." He begins to explain, trying to find a way to explain it without...embarrassing Sunder further. " He was...very calm." No offense Sunder but you're not exactly 'calm' lately.

000

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

Sceptre tilts his helm, while the question had nothing to do with him, and he didn't understand why Sunder didn't tell Rodimus of all this....he still responded. " Before finding his true calling my brother was quite popular with others, he was kind, and friendly with others. -

100

Sceptre nods to his brother, he felt bad for sharing his embarrassing story with Rodimus , but at least he didn't go into detail- oh...they were asking about it again. " Forgive me...I do not think my brother wishes to share anymore information about that day."

000

-me to answer all their questions. I assumed you were both close if you've brought him to me." He apologized to Sunder.

000

Sunder didn't have to 'rage out' for Sceptre to pick up that he was less than pleased, however the prime seemed unfazed by Sunders...restraint. He could tell that Rodimus wanted to delve deeper into that topic but was holding themselves back...wise. " Forgive me brother, I assumed you wished for-

100

Why did Rodimus Prime want to know about something like that? Still...he asked and he'd respond. " Yes, there are a few times that he's done something that would be considered...embarrassing. For example he has danced and sung to 'Barbie Girl'. He was...much younger then."

000

" Yes, When asked I take my brother to his desired destination. It is an honor to be my brothers...brother. As for someone I like, no there is no one that I like, or love aside from my brother but that is a completely different form of love." The next question....confused him.

100

Sceptre raised an optic ridge at the various questions that Rodimus asked, none of which were the questions he was expecting from a prime. Still he complied in answering them...even if the last one was probably something Sunder wouldn't want to be shared.

100

" Hmm, It's a pleasure to meet you Rodimus. You are a lot smaller then I expected." The second half of that was meant to be in his helm, ops.

010

Sceptre shifts his attention fully to Rodimus as they're introduced as Sunders boyfriend....in all honesty he wasn't expecting Sunder to ever have a significant other. Not because he didn't think his brother was incapable of love...but because he assumed his beliefs wouldn't allow for it.

110

-optics glancing down at them before moving down to be more at their level. Waiting for Sunder to introduce this bot he brought with him. Although he had a feeling he knew who they were. He could see the shock in the smaller mechs face, the way their jaw nearly dropped.

Sceptre hesitated for only a moment, it wasn't like Sunder to ask him to transform or even want to introduce someone to him. This had to be the mech he had spoken about before. {:: Of course Brother. ::} With that Sceptre begins to transform, the large shuttle now standing before the two-

100

{:: Brother. You've returned so soon, has something happened? ::}

000

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Sceptre was there, but he was in his alt mode. his scanners picking up on his brothers life signature approaching, he could feel another with him. He remained silent for a moment...perhaps this was Sunders new crush? He remained silent for a moment longer before speaking. Remaining in his alt.

100

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

He knows Sunder was right...but to leave his little brother all alone on this ship?....well if it would make Sunder feel better then he would. For his brothers sake. " I understand brother, I promise I will take care of myself." For Sunder that is...not himself.

000

Ｓｃｅｐｔｒｅ @lostandforgotten.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

To leave his little brother alone....it shouldn't bother him considering he's been in this hanger for awhile now, but he can sense his brothers presence and know where he is....but to leave to fly without him? He wasn't so sure he could. " Hm...perhaps I can give it a try one day."

000

" I know brother, but I prefer to be with you brother. What if I left and you needed me?"

000

Sceptre stares at his brother like what he had just told him some complex riddle...but in reality he'd feel strange going somewhere without his brother, without a purpose to go somewhere. Just going somewhere merely for himself wasn't something he was interested in...

100

" If you wish to remain here brother I will stay for as long as you wish. I will always be here to assist you."

000

Yes it's true that Sceptre isn't a fan of staying cooped up in a hanger for to long, he prefers to stretch his wings and fly or even just a more spacious place he could transform and simply enjoy himself...it's a bit cramped in here with all the ships he had to be careful not to hit them.

100

" And if he says no? Will you simply let them remain?" He was curious if Sunder would act on his selfish desires or go against them....if he goes against his desires then he would be very surprised.

000

-and I hope to meet them one day. Do you intend to remain on this ship for much longer or will we be moving on? And if so, will this new lover of yours come with us?"

000

Sceptre nods as he considers his brothers words, he never thought that his brothers would be very worried about the consequences of altering another's memories. " You have changed much since I've last seen you brother but I wouldn't say that it's a bad thing. I am glad you found someone to love-

100

-but why change you? You are only following your beliefs....have you perhaps considered altering their mind?"

000

Slowly his servo opens again once he's standing, tail resting against the ground, slightly swaying from side to side. " You must care for them very much to offer to lock yourself away. It is very admirable of you brother-

100

-maintenance in...well forever. Ever since they started this little journey around different places, he always put his brother first. But you won't hear Sceptre complaining...he's so big he barely felt it.

100

Once Sunder was on his servo, the three claws he had slowly closed around them to keep the other from falling as he pushed himself to stand properly. Honestly you'd think Sceptre was ancient with how all his gears and joints creaked and snapped. No...not old, just hasn't had any proper check up or-

100

-liking brother. Perhaps they've made a good impression on you, and they haven't attempted to lock you away given your beliefs and duties as Mortilus vessel?" Sceptre lowered his servo down to offer his brother to come and stand on it.

000

Rodimus...so they're the captain and prime? So their full designation would be Rodimus Prime. Interesting that his brother would be interested in such a mech, they must have been fairly lenient with Sunder considering Sunders 'hobby'. " Rodimus Prime, I did not think such a mech would be to your-
