User blog:Spikewitwicky/February 12, 2015 - Spike's Journal Entry



I'm back on Earth. Lifeline, Marissa , and Mel have gone. And I got dispatched to do damage control to Dr. Fujiyama.

Before I get to that, I have to say it was a fun ride back. I know I'm not supposed to say "fun" - given the fact that I just went to a funeral - and everyone was a bit irritated at the Ark's shoddy wi-fi connection (which shouldn't surprise anyone - it's 5 million years old, and people get irritated if they can't get wi-fi in a building, yet alone a few light years away). It gave me some downtime to do some writing, study for the medical boards, and all of us even got in a few games of pitch.

So... on to more "fun" matters. Dr. Fujiyama was PISSED. Yes, a Decepticon broke in. Yes, they ran off with his research. YES this is alarming. And YES, it probably wasn't the Autobots' finest hour. I just listened, and volunteered to help with the cleanup. He didn't seem to appreciative of my offer. I'm not blaming him. After all, I'm a human. I can't do much in terms of clean-up other than to symbolically show the Autobots take these matters seriously.

Still, without Crosscut ... without the 'ambassador' job, if everything would be out in the open, I would have loved to have said something like:

"You're upset. You think the Autobots should have you as their top priority. Well, right now, if you're bent out of shape at losing a building, how would it feel to lose a damn city? Because that's exactly where we're at right now. The Autoobts are facing an enemy who has the ability to do nothing less than to destroy entire cities. So, yes, Dr. Fujiyama - please tell me why they need to focus on your research project, which will probably be discredited in a journal in about five years."

'course, I really wouldn't say that. Spikewitwicky (talk) 19:59, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
