Two and a half aliens have a meet up.
Synopsis
After a galaxy-spanning adventure, Skuxxoid at long last makes his way to his companion Slizardo... only to find the alien leveling a blaster at him when he arrives! After a moment has passed to allow Slizardo to calm down and lower his weapon, Skuxxoid relays that the ship he had been tracking for its alloy was taken by the Quintessons after they discovered it was Zertonian. Hearing that name also captures Slizardo's intrigue, but before anything else can be said the meeting is interrupted by a third party... Hot Rod, who immediately demands to know about the ship.
The presence of a Cybertronian enrages Skuxxoid, rounding on Slizardo, who simply remarks that he works with anybody who pays, and the Autobot pays well. Hot Rod has been tracking a missing ally for some time and demands to know if Skuxxoid is going to be a help or hindrance on that quest. Skuxxoid quickly capitulates and hands over all the data he's gotten thus far, from where he found the ship to where its former owners flew off after giving it up. Hot Rod tells the duo to stay out of trouble before taking his leave, and the Skuxxoid decides he's had enough adventure for the time being and heads home. And unseen by all, a robotic looking figure reports the meeting to its master.
