Sideswipe quickly shifted to meet the red Prime and his small human company. "Moonshriek... is that her name? Much longer than Alexis. Do humans usually have longer or shorter names?" the blue mech questioned out of the blue. He gave a lazy-optic stare at the Prime, then back to his brother, and yet back to the Prime. "Hows' the sudden orders treating you- Sir?" Sideswipe asked, trying to create conversation between the new stroll, keeping the intensity at its' boundary.

Moonshriek shrugged hopelessly. "Sorry, I wouldn't have a clue. I tend to stay away from them. You can call me Moon or Moony for short, though....Hey, is that smoke I smell?" without another word, she flew off into the forest.

Rodimus lowered his head as he thought about the new responsibilities that he had been given. He still felt a little bit shaky and out of shape from his position. He would rather prefer to be just leading teams, rather than factions. "I don't really want to talk about it, Sideswipe," he said a little glumly. "Right now, I'm still getting used to being back in command. But it's a lot different compared to what I'm used to..." He felt trapped like a rat in a maze. He didn't know what to do in this current situation. Who was he to go around telling everyone what to do, when all he knew about was commanding teams? He hadn't a clue, and he would rather not talk about such methods. It was too... depressing to even think about his new job. He fiddled with his cloak, trying to hide most of his new frame from the others. He really didn't want to look at his new appearance at all, thinking that he may never look the same again. 'Goes to show me that I'm not cut out for this job,' he thought sadly. He may be a natural born leader, but he knew that he was not confident in leading a faction. Teams were simple. They were small and did not have any doubts in you at all. They just followed your orders and did what they were meant to do.
Hotshot decided to come to the young Prime's rescue. "Hey," he said kindly, "both Spirit and Optimus went through the exact same thing as you did when they first became the boss. Although I wouldn't say much for Spirit because she had been in command for only a year, but I still think you've got what it takes to be a Prime." He knew exactly how Rodimus felt. He remembered that time when he had to take over when everyone else suggested that he should and when there was no other option. He was still trying to get over the burden that he had to bear for a while before Optimus came back to life to resume command of the Autobots. "Besides, we'll be with you every step of the way, and I'm sure Magnus would agree with me only a little. But I can tell that he's just a bit disappointed that he was not placed in charge."
Rodimus noticed Moonshriek leave without him. He suddenly detected the smell of fumes and he quickly bolted in that direction, ignoring the surprised looks on Sideswipe's and Hotshot's faces. "Moonshriek, wait!" he called after her as he pulled out his Energon-Bow should he really need it. He could not afford to let her stray far from his sights. The responsibility to look after her was in his hands. And, if anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself. Her life was in his hands now.

Sideswipe didn't pay much mind to Rodimus and Hotshot's chat, it didn't concern him very much. He had already put too much input as it was, and decided it was best he just listen. Until Moonshriek flew off. In pursuit of Rodimus and the batted human, Sideswipe and Hotshot were quick to follow, rushing behind the crimson Autobots' tracks.
