"Goodmorning Griffin Rock! I'm your host, Huxley Prescott! Reporting live news!" The man in front of the floating camera was grinning as he held his microphone close and tightly in his hand. "As you may know, Mayor Luskey has opened up the ports once again for more people of the Mainland to visit. Due to his election crisis, were expecting his popularity to rise after his announcement of a new fire station being built! When will it open? Are they Mainland responders? How will they thrive in such a technological island? And the biggest question, will we be getting more bots? Stay tuned, as we answer these questions up next! For now, we watch our favorite scientist Doctor Green with his hatchling turtles!"

Voices mummured amongst themselves as they waited impatiently in the bunker of the Burns fire station.

"Who do you think it will be?" Blades asked with excitement. "Maybe someone fun right?"

"I heard it isn't someone random." Boulder piped in. "I heard Chief talking to Optimus the other day. You think it's someone from their base?"

"No way. Why would they intruppt their war to come help us here?" Heatwave scoffed at the idea, crossing his arms.

"Then who is it?" Cody jumped off the couch. "I mean why do we even need another person? We've got a great team!"

"Cody is correct. We have handled many rescue adequately on our own before. How is this different?" Chase inquired, looking puzzled. He didn't understand how politics influenced such an idea. Even one from potientally Optimus.

"Yeah, I heard it's another firefighter. Hello? I do great work with Heatwave?" Kade protested, setting his hands on his hips. "Who's gonna do a better job than us?"

"Ahem." The Chief walked down the stairs quietly, frowning deeply. "Team, please. Settle down." He raised a hand to calm their conversations. "I know your upset and confused. But this can be a good thing. We could always use another set of hands."

"Where are they supposed to stay until the stations built? Here?" Dani asked curiously. "Dad we don't have enough rooms."

"Yes. We actually do. But until my office is cleaned out, they will be staying on the couch." Their worn father informed as he reached the bottom step.

"Chief, if I may, who are they going to ride with? We all have partners already." Chase spoke next, confused.

"They have their own partner-."

"Two people!?" Kade cried out. "How are we able to fit two more strangers in our house!? Dad this is ridiculous!"

"Enough!" The Chief exclaimed, looking disappointed at their frustration. "We will welcome these two members as they deserve to be here just as much as we do." He scolded them making their shoulders sag a bit.

"Chief, Boulder said he heard you talking to Optimus. Is this what it was about?" Heatwave asked then, firm. The old man sighed and looked at the firebot then.

"Partly, yes. As you know, we have a new members joining us here. She's a paramedic and-."

"I'm a paramedic Dad! What's the need for-." Dani was quickly intruppted by her father's stern look.

"And she will cover ground. Dani, you'll cover terrain we cannot reach. Both of you will be a team."

"I'm confused, I thought you said two people were coming." Graham adjusted his glasses then, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yes. A bot."

Cody gasped along with many of the others. "What?! Who is it?!" Cody nearly jumped up with excitement, his eyes lighting up.

"That's amazing, I can't believe we didn't know this before!" Blades smiled happily, his rotor blades spreading out with his excitement.

"It's only temporary. Optimus is looking for a team perfect for the station down the road. He believes they are alive and is searching for them. But for now, one of his own will be joining us." The Chief explained.

"Oh Primus, is it Bumblebee!? I'd love it if he came and helped on rescues!" Blades grinned widely.

"It would help if Bulkhead came I think, we could use more heavy muscle around here." Boulder chimed in calmly.

"Bulkhead? We need another girl! We should have Arcee come!" Dani protested.

"Arcee is Optimus's second in command at the moment." Chase shook his helm. "She won't come."

"Then who is?" Blades frowned then.

The Cheif brushed down his mustache hairs as he listened to them. "Ratchet."
