Who: Miranda and YOU
Where: Maccadam's
When: After this disaster
What: Miranda licking her wounds and hating robot teenagers, but also vodka.
Warnings: Questionable potato vodka and minor injuries. Standard Mass Effect functioning alcoholism.

Miranda had suffered her fair share of dives. Cerberus contacts that had her plastering on a fake smile as she talked logistics in the back of red sand dusted table in the back of a smoked out bar on Omega. Even when it was the veritable pits at least she never had the need to fallback on undergraduate biochemistry classes and distill her own alcohol.

She wanted to blame Rodimus and his attached to the hip friend with the swords. She wanted to be incensed. Instead she told herself she was happy enough not to debase herself and concentrate on her more practical pursuits. Such as re-purposing some of the machinery she found behind the massive bar in Maccadam's and putting those tubers and other consumable to use. Vodka, specifically. She lucked out and found the hardware close enough to what she recognized and could feasibly work with to make this into a time pisser that actually let her think; to do something with her hands. There was even a clear concoction behind the bar that came up on her omni-tool as being isopropyl in all but name. Everything a girl could hope for.

"Shit."

Sitting on the counter top of the Maccadam's bar, Miranda hissed when she brought a wad of torn synthetic fabric soaked in rubbing alcohol up to her lacerated and swollen face where she bore the brunt of that fight. Had to take care of the superficial wounds before she wasted her medi-gel. Rubbing alcohol in one hand, she also had what must be the glass for the world's smallest shot for the average Cybertronian but held like a highball glass to her filled with ice and strong vodka. Her own brew, and the way she shuddered when she took a pull, it was strong.

Optimus usually wasn't one to hang out in bars unless he'd been dragged there by Sentinel and Elita, and that hadn't happened in ages. But it seemed like to best place to try and meet some of the others who'd been displaced, so he was seated at the bar off to the side with a glass of engex he hadn't really been drinking.

Seeing a human on Cybertron wasn't something he'd been expecting at all, so Miranda immediately caught his interest. Watching as she began treating her wounds, he leaned closer to her part of the bar with a look of concern.

"Excuse me, ma'am. Are you alright?"

Optimus was a little taken aback by the sudden threat of violence, but considering Miranda's current state it he could certainly understand the frustration. He leaned back a bit to put a little more space between them. Just in case.

"Uh. No, can't say I've met anyone by that description, Miranda." It was going to be a very interesting conversation when he did. "My name is Optimus Prime," he continued, completing the introductions.

"I get feeling everyone is a little on edge here," he offered a little sheepishly. He was aware it wasn't a very good excuse. "Where I'm from most bots have never seen an organic, let alone spoke with a human. Did someone attack you?"

He was pretty sure he'd heard that name before, not that it meant anything here. From what he'd heard about Rodimus Prime it sounded like this was a completely different one.

"Yes, but I don't think it translates the same across universes. I think your human equivalent would be a more like a captain. I'm guessing you've met the other Optimus Prime, then?"
