	[[Cosmos (G1)\|Cosmos]]'s new position of Chief of Space Security ''sounds'' glamorous... but the job of defending [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s inner moon turns out to be a job that's as isolated as it is mundane—Cosmos spends most of his time either gathering drifting space debris or rescuing [[Gears (G1)\|Gears]] from one mishap after another. While on one such patrol, Cosmos picks up a transmission from what he ''assumes'' is a stranded Gears, but actually belongs to [[Blast Off (G1)\|Blast Off]], a lonely orbital transport specialist who's taking a detour specifically to annoy his boss.

While on one such patrol, Cosmos picks up a transmission from what he ''assumes'' is a stranded Gears, but actually belongs to [[Blast Off (G1)\|Blast Off]], a lonely orbital transport specialist who's taking a detour specifically to annoy his boss.

	Flustered and eager to hear a friendly voice for the first time in many cycles, Cosmos's overenthusiastic response leads him to initially worry that he's scared away his mysterious new friend... but he's surprised and pleased to learn that Blast Off is still interested in making conversation. This chance meeting soon evolves into a long-distance relationship; the pair chat as Cosmos goes about his duties, discussing this and that, but after many, many cycles of conversation Cosmos eventually points out that he's never even ''seen'' Blast Off's face.

This chance meeting soon evolves into a long-distance relationship; the pair chat as Cosmos goes about his duties, discussing this and that, but after many, many cycles of conversation Cosmos eventually points out that he's never even ''seen'' Blast Off's face.

	Almost immediately, Blast Off pings him a picture, one that includes both him ''and'' a dozen other 'bots. As a confused Cosmos tries to match a name to a face, Blast Off laughs; the picture was sent as a joke, to keep him distracted...and, as Cosmos picks up a new blip on his radar system, he turns and comes face-to-face with Blast Off for the first time.

	[[Cosmos (G1)\|Cosmos]]'s new position of Chief of Space Security ''sounds'' glamorous... but the job of defending [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s inner moon turns out to be a job that's as isolated as it is mundane—Cosmos spends most of his time either gathering drifting space debris or rescuing [[Gears (G1)\|Gears]] from one mishap after another. While on one such patrol, Cosmos picks up a transmission from what he ''assumes'' is a stranded Gears, but actually belongs to [[Blast Off (G1)\|Blast Off]], a lonely orbital transport specialist who's taking a detour specifically to annoy his boss.
