It was a few months later that Optimus announced that the engineering crew had finished their first project, which would be dubbed Hydrobase for its location was in the deepest part of the Puget Sound. He further stated that those of us with underwater modes would be sent there along with Bebop and his cassettes in two days time so we were to pack and be ready to go. He went on to say that the second project was also nearly done and the rest of the group would be dismantling the ship as much as was possible in order to make use of it. We were excused to our duties. I had to admit it would be different not seeing the officers all the time and doing my report gathering duties, but the change of scenery would be a positive step for the group as a whole. I went to my room to pack what things I would need and put that into my subspace. From my room I swung by Optimus' office to get the first reports of the day.
"Ah good, you are here." came that pleasant tone of the Autobot leader.
I turned and nodded to him, reports in hand, "Figured I'd get my work done as soon as possible so I could help with ship demolition sir."
He inclined his head to that, "That would be fine. I'd like to thank you for doing your duty since I will insist it be your last day doing so. I have asked Bumblebee to take over since you’ll be headed to Hydrobase."
That made sense to me so I nodded in understanding, "Of course, much appreciated sir. Though I will miss seeing all the officers on a daily basis, I am rather excited about the new base."
He settled down at his desk, stating, "You can always come to visit once everyone moved into Metroplex. Should be a couple days after everyone in Hydrobase is settled in."
"I'd like to do that then, new duties permitting of course." I told him, "I'll see you later with the reports sir."
He made a vague wave as he focused on reading the reports from yesterday and I headed out to do my last round of reports collection and distribution. When I was done, I typed up a note to give to Bumblebee on how I went about my duty and sent that to his computer via the network. That accomplished I went to the Command Center to talk to Ironhide, who was obviously overseeing the work to dismantle the ship. He sent me over to assist Wheeljack and Ratchet with the medical bay. There were others there too, a mixed group of talents so that the computers and other digital equipment was backed up while others were working on getting med tables and other furniture disassembled, and then the two mechs themselves organizing the medical supplies into carrying cases so it all could be put into a portable storage unit.
Ratchet smiled and gestured me over when he saw me walk in, explaining how they were organizing things so I could assist correctly. I spent the whole solar day there helping the two of them. We got everything organized, in their cases, and then into the storage unit. In fact, the whole small crew in the room had the entire room stripped down to the framework by the end of the day. I took some time to recharge and intake some energon then checked in with Ironhide to see where else I could help. The mech surprised me when he said to head over to Shark's room. I knew better than to ask for another assignment so I headed over to find Seaspray near the aquarium and Shark inside it.
"Oh good Lord, are you bringing that to Hydrobase?" I asked as I stood just inside the doorway.
Seaspray turned toward me with a bag of water that held a few of the same type of fish, "Hey Barracuda, yes he certainly is insisting on it." the mech gurgled amusedly.
Shark poked his head out with a fish in hand, which was put in the bag. "Last one of that type." he stated, then cocked his head as he peered at me. "Got a choice, help me nab fish or help Seaspray with getting the bags ready."
I hmmed softly, considering, then stated, "I'll help Seaspray."
Shark nodded and slid back into the water. Seaspray turned with the bag in his hand, "If you could tie off the top of this one and make sure I got the rest of them tight enough that would be of great help. Once that's done, can help me fill up bags."
I took one of the ties that were nearby and tied off the bag for him, then moved over to the gathering of bags filled with fish to check all those ties. "So you two already got your room stuff packed up looks like."
Seaspray nodded, replying in that distinct way of his, "Sure have."
"Should let Ironhide know that once this aquarium is dealt with then. There's a crew going around to each room that's empty and taking out the walls, ceiling and floors in preparation for taking the ship's framework apart." I told him.
Shark popped up with a large eel in his hands, "Need a bigger bag for this one." he stated.
"We will Barracuda, and will do Shark." Seaspray assured, checking through the bags that they had collected for the fish gathering task.
I finished checking the ties, "All done checking the ties Seaspray, how about I do the hose and you hold the bag?" I asked.
He found the bag that would work for the large eel, "That would be great."
I picked up the hose from the floor and inserted the end into the bag as he held it firmly, switching the hose control over to allow a full surge of water to come out of the end of the hose. The bag was filled quickly enough and soon enough the eel was in its temporary holding container. Between the three of us it took about an hour to get all the fish and other creatures that were in the aquarium into bags and into a small carrying unit for the trip over to the new base.
Optimus came by to check on things as we were assisting the demolition crew with taking out the walls, ceiling and floor as well as the aquarium itself. "I see someone had some pets without notifying me of them." he intoned carefully.
Shark turned to face Prime, "That would be me sir."
Optimus nodded, "Why am I not surprised by that… oh yes, because you do bend the rules just enough to make yourself happy."
Seaspray stated, "I'm partially to blame as well Optimus, after all Shark is under my supervision and I should have told you what I found when I moved in here."
Optimus inclined his head slightly, "True enough. But I suspect you had as much enjoyment of Shark's pets as he did so I cannot totally fault you for keeping it a secret. However, I will have to put you both down for this small infraction."
I shook my head a bit, "To be honest sir, I should have told you about it as well. I caught Shark making the aquarium a few years back. So if you must put them down then I should receive the same."
Prime was quiet as he considered my words, then said, "Very well Barracuda. Once you three finish here you should head over to the new base with your things and get set up."
We saluted him, which he returned and then departed. The work in the room was finished quickly enough and the last of the aquarium was put into a storage unit to bring on our trip to the new base. Together we took the unit to where Ultra Magnus was waiting in vehicle mode for everyone that was going to Hydrobase to load up their storage units then getting aboard themselves in vehicle form for the trip to the Puget Sound. The trip occurred during the evening on lesser used roads so it took a bit longer than it probably should have, but we arrived to the beach where a barge was waiting for us to board. The barge took us out to where the base's elevator came up out of the water. We pushed the units into the elevator one at a time; the strongest of the group would push them out of the elevator at the bottom then return for the next unit. It took about 30 minutes for all the units to get unloaded and we bid Ultra Magnus a goodbye as the barge headed back to the beach.
One of the engineers had stayed to give us a tour of the new base and told us to pick out a room for ourselves in the private room section of the base. No more sharing a room was necessary unless we wanted to do so. Bebop of course took a slightly bigger private room so he could stay with his cassettes. The engineer told him that it could be modified so there were recharge berths for each of the cassettes, but Bebop declined as he and his girls had grown used to being on the same berth together. That made me smile, thinking of how they probably curled around Bebop's body for comfort and closeness. Shark went from room to room, measuring the walls out until he found one that would allow his aquarium to fit with minimal alteration. The Hydrobots chose rooms next to each other, naturally. Seaspray took the room next to Shark. I decided to move in next to Bebop since he tended to listen to music a lot, which I figured would be nice to listen to if I couldn't drop into recharge quickly.
Once all the rooms were picked out the storage units got moved to where things could be unloaded and set up. It didn't take me long to unload my stuff since it was in my subspace so I went around to look for anyone needing help and ended up with Shark and Seaspray getting the aquarium situated in Shark's room. The engineer was asked to make sure the aquarium was well sealed so there'd be no leakage. Then the process of filling the aquarium and then transferring the fish and other creatures in the bags back into the aquarium took place. We all got pretty dirty from all that work and it wasn't even done yet as other units had to be unpacked. The med bay got that sort of attention once everyone was done with their rooms. We made sure it was all organized and ready to go for whoever our medic was going to be. So far that medic had not been made known to us. By the time the sun was up we had everything unpacked and set up in their respective rooms. We all toasted a round of energon rations to the new base and hit the showers to clean up. Then a well deserved recharge was calling
