"So, Jamie, why are we visiting the Ark? Most of the myths we test don't deal with Cybertronians. There are myths about them, but they're either impossible to safely test or highly embarrassing to the mech in question - like the myth that Optimus Prime doesn't have a face."

"To answer your original question, Adam. We're here to get some high quality, transparent blast screens. And I've never... uh... asked Prime about his face."

"So, how good are these blast screens?"

"They're rated Wheeljack proof."

"Wheeljack proof? Ha! I bet that made 'Jack's day!"

"They've stood up to everything he's thrown at them so far... And 'Jack thought we'd like a few ... uh... free of charge."

"Any excuse to have us visit?"

"Probably. Even if Grant, Tori, and Kari couldn't make it, this does give a chance to prove that 'Jack + Mythbusters + volcano = chaos isn't true."

"And that's important why?"

"... I think they want to hire us."

"What?! Awesome! We gotta tell the guys about this!"

"Wait until it's actually confirmed, Adam. The last thing we need is to get everyone excited about this and have it fall through."

"Good point. But the moment you find out..."

"I'll let everyone know."

"Good. What the frag is going on up ahead?"

"Well, it looks like a festival."

"No one mentioned having a party to me... I'm gonna go check it out!"

"I don't think you should do that, Adam."

"Relax, Jamie! I'm recognized a lot less on my own. After all, I only might be 'that guy from the show'. But you? You definitely are. It's the mustache."

"Thanks, Adam."

"Seriously, you go ahead and meet with 'Jack. I'm going to go check out this party. If nothing else, I'll find out why these people want to risk a 'Con attack while holding this thing."

"Be careful, Adam. I really don't like this."

"Don't be such a worry-wart, Jamie. No one will recognize me with this!"

"A hat with dreadlocks? Oh, yeah, that's a wonderful disguise. Almost as good as fake glasses with... uh... an attached nose and a mustache."

"Yeah, but who's going to expect me to wear it?"

"Remember the 'I come from the planet Butt-head'?"

"Yeah...."

"Everyone who saw that. And, Adam, the dreads are brown."

"So?"

"Your beard and eyebrows are red."

"I think I'll leave the hat behind. See ya, Jamie."

"Adam! .... Hopefully, 'Jack will be ok with Adam ducking out on us."

"Hi, Jamie! Welcome to the Ark."

"Thanks, Spike."

"No problem. Hey, wasn't Adam supposed to come with you?"

"He decided to check out the party out front, instead."

"Party? Oh. Them."

"I take it you know those guys."

"In a way. They're the Autopians, an alien worshiping cult that decided that the Autobots were either gods, demi-gods, or divine messengers. And that my dad and I filled the role of someone like Jesus Christ."

".... Are they violent?"

"No, but their worship anthems tend to be murder on Cybertronian audials. I suspect that you'll have a lot of volunteers to take the blast shields back to San Fransisco when you leave."

"Thanks for the warning, Spike. Now as Adam might say if he were, uh, here, take me to you leader."

"Sure thing, Jamie. Right this way."

"Whoa, whoa. Repeat that, guys," Adam Savage gaped.

Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, obligingly repeated his request, "I would like to hire the Mythbusters to provide security for Spike and Carly's wedding."

The two lead Mythbusters exchanged a speaking glance. Finally, Jamie gave into temptation, "Why us? We're just a special effects group, not security experts. I'm sure you have better resources with more experience than us."

"Anti-Seeker Paintballs. Tree Cannon. Chicken gun," Ratchet grinned. "Need I say more?"

Prime continued his CMO's explanation, "More to the point, the Mythbusters have earned Megatron's respect from the paintballing Starscream incident. The Decepticons are far less likely to attack the wedding if you are providing security. Nor will they retaliate, given Megatron personally put all members and employees of the Mythbusters on the 'Do Not Slag' List - along with various human Decepticon allies and, well, Primus."

Tori bounced in excitement, "We're on a list with a god? Cool!"

Taking on final look around the assembly of humans and Cybertronians, Jamie gave into the inevitable, "Sure, why not?"

End.
