“So, you guys going to be staying here in Valvolux long?”

“Not sure. There’s gonna be fightin’, right? I like fightin’!”

“Yeah, but the Autobots have pretty much taken over Valvolux. They’re not going to let the Decepticons just fly in and subjugate everyone.”

“That’s too bad. The citizens of Valvolux could use the discipline and structure of the Decepticon army. It would really turn this dump around.”

“Has the Founder turned up? I heard he’s big enough to hit from orbit! Ha ha!”

“Scrap, you actually believe in the Founder? I thought only local rivetheads trucked with that sort of thing.”

“Oh, they believe it around here alright. Giant hammer, ‘built the Wall’ and everything. They say he’s going to come back and save Valvolux from the Decepticons.”

“Ha ha! I’d love to see that. I’d kick him in his giant shins!”

“Heh. Well, if the Founder shows up, you do that. In the meantime, I was hopin’ to finish this drink and get outta town before the shooting started. Frankly, I was hoping to hitch a ride with you guys.”

“We’re staying for the fireworks, but Scrap can probably take you to orbit.”

“Yeah! I’m going to snipe some Autobots from space! Ha ha!”

“OK. I’ll take it. Let me know when you leave. Last round’s on me.”

“Alright! Three cheers for Snow Cat! Drink up, and then we’ll get you on the road.”

“Cheers!”
