Nightshade led the way home, excited. They couldn't wait to introduce everyone to the new Terran, their brother! And it would be nice to finally know his name. He seemed to act the same way Hashtag had when they hadn't known their names. Nightshade had to take a guess that the Terran knew what his name was deep down but couldn't voice it properly. Being alone for so long must have been a scary thought. None of the five Terrans had ever been alone when they were born. Twitch and Thrash had been first then Hashtag, Jawbreaker, and Nightshade.
The green Terran called out when they arrived back to the family home.
"Everyone! I want you to meet someone!"
They were giddy, optics bright. Nightshade was almost eagerly bouncing up and down like a kid in a candy store... and that didn't always lead to a good thing. The green Terran smiled as they looked back to the nameless Terran.
"This is our home. The barn there is where we sleep. I converted it to include an underground lab and sleeping space for us. The house is too small for us Terrans but we do enjoy watching our brother and sister and mom and dad eating. It's a good time to spend together even if our own sustenance is different than our human family."

Following Nightshade back to their home, the protoform looked around at the farm, taking a quick glance at the house before taking a peek into the barn. "Oh... How do you get in?" The Terran asked, not managing to spot the entrance in the barn floor. He then turned around the see the many cows in the field. His optics widened at the sight, slowly approaching the fence the animals lived behind. Any animals he'd seen in the woods always ran away, but these ones didn't, and he could get a closer look at them!
His attention was pulled away as Nightshade called out for their family. ATurning to look back at the house, the Protoform nervously held one of his servos, wondering how he was going to introduce himself. "Um, Nightshade? How did you know your name?" He asked, stepping towards the other bot. Perhaps the green Terran knew something he didn't, and could help him figure it out, or maybe even just help give him one if he couldn't. It would certainly make meeting new people a lot easier if he could answer them when they asked for a name.

Bumblebee was right outside the barn doing his early morning stretches. It was a little later than he normally would exercise, but he had been so wiped out after running missions and tending to his every day responsibilities. It was a lot on his shoulders, but someone had to do it.
Keeping his legs apart, Bee twisted his waist as he stretched out his arms before twisting his waist the other way. He repeated this motion a few times, then proceeded to lean to the side as far as his body would let him without completely losing his balance. He needed to be at the top of his game pretty much at all times, and it was nice to have a brief moment of peace before the Terrans started their usual round of chaos; whatever form it would come in that day. Right as he rotated the lean the opposite direction that's when he heard the familiar shout of Nightshade's voice.
And they had a friend!
Oh that was right. He'd already almost forgotten about Clematis' message! That had been the entire reason he'd started his morning routine a little bit later than usual outside of his tiredness. She'd said she'd found a new Terran and was on her way to drop them off. He'd hoped the femme would stop by to say hello, so to see the Terran with Nightshade he was a little caught off guard. Giving up on his stretches for now, Bumblebee crossed his arms with a grin. "Ah, so you must be that new Terran I've been hearing about. Clematis told me you'd be dropping by. My name's Bumblebee. I'm in charge of teaching you Terrans."

While Bumblebee had been outside, Hashtag had already been in the process of leaving the Dugout. She'd been tinkering away with some footage that she had shot over the last few days and was trying to edit them before completely getting sidetracked by the newest video game sensation to sweep the nation. Everyone was making videos about it, and she was just dying to see the reaction compilations of the lets players accidentally launching a gnome across the entire map instead of rescuing him as intended. There was something funny about watching that little guy just go soaring through the skies unexpectedly and she couldn't stop laughing. Of course if it'd been a real life thing it wouldn't have been anywhere near as funny. Not funny at all actually.
Right as Hashtag opened the obscured door leading into the Dugout that's when she heard her sibling's voice filling the air.
Nightshade had a new friend with them! Squealing in delight as Bumblebee introduced himself, the tall Terran skated past her mentor and straight up to Nightshade and their new friend. They looked like a protoform just like they had when they'd awoken in the cave! "Ooh! A new friend! Nice to meetcha~. My name's Hashtag!" She could feel Nightshade's excitement and she was having a hard time keeping herself from bouncing around with excitement.

Nick had been joining Bee for morning stretches.
Honestly, ever since Bee had been teaching him self-defense he had been working on it. So stretched to match his regiment were a good thing he figured. Of course when they’d all been called over though - his interest was definitely piqued. Wait was that another Terran? No way! His eyes bugged as he jogged over.
“Wait! There’s a new Terran? That’s so dope!”
Of course, he reminded himself not to crowd the newbie either. Lest they get overwhelmed. “Oh uh, hi by the way. I’m Nick, I crash here with the big guy,” Nick pointed a thumb over at Bumblebee. Not sure how to state his relationship to the Malto’s at this point. “So where you from? Do you have an alt mode yet?” He said a little more excitably.

In recent months, Twitch had been making a habit of getting up early, usually long before any of her siblings were awake. Actually, she was pretty sure aside from their mother Dot, she had been the only that got up before dawn. Or maybe with the exception of Bumblebee himself most days.
But, a lot had been happening in recent months.
Twitch had started making a habit of trying to do training and lessons on her own earlier in the morning, wanting to be ready for anything and everything for her family. Though on the surface she maintained her carefree, playful attitude, deep down Twitch was worried and concerned. The breakout somewhat shook her worries. Not for the fact they were Decepticons, any of them could mean well after the war was over, but for the fact they didn't know what changes this could bring. Though Twitch wanted to believe the war was long over, that they would eventually be safe, she had her doubts. And even she wasn't so naive as to think all Autobots were "good" and all Decepticons were "bad", but she was concerned for the repercussions of the breakout. She wanted to be prepared.
So, the Terran had slipped away early in the morning to practice her stealth and combat, still determined to become a scout or maybe more depending. But a few hours had passed by then, and Twitch was making her way back towards the farm from the town sensing Nightshade's excitement followed by Hashtag's giddiness. Now what could they be excited about? Curiosity tugged at her spark, the drone femme sped up a bit until she came across the family farm, shocked to see another Terran! "We got a new sibling?!" Twitch asked from the air, quickly transforming and coming down to join the rest with a warm but wide smile, "Hello there! I'm Twitch! Welcome to the family!" She greeted with excitement.

Thrash had been keeping himself occupied the only way he could. Racing at high speeds around the Malto Farm.
Yeah it was basic but it was something.
He was about to finish another lap when he saw Nightshade and...and some other guy he didn't know.
Thrash transformed into his robot mode.
"How many new guys are we gonna see lately?" he muttered before walking over to see what all the fuss was about exactly.

Nightshade was excited. When their brothers and sister gathered, they introduced the new Terran.
"I don't know his name. I was hoping Mo or Robby would be here, but I met another Terran! These are my siblings. Twitch and Thrash, Hashtag. This is our mentor, Bumblebee, and his adopted son... Nicholas, right?"
Nightshade asked, making sure they remembered correctly.
"I know it might be overwhelming so if you need space I can show you where you can rest for the time being."
Nightshade knew the struggle of being new and not fitting in. They had felt left out and lonely while the others played. Thanks to their dad, Alex, Nightshade had found a love of books and a new escape from life. And they had ended up a little closer to Hashtag as a result. Nightshade LOVED to read!
((I apologize for the delay guys!))

Watching all the Maltos approach, the protoform nervously stepped back as they all came to greet him. His eyes widened as Hashtag came forward, nervously smiling up at her, trying to think of how to introduce himself, not having any idea how to, even without an answer from Nightshade. He could barely get the first word out before the yellow Autobot approached along with Nick and Twitch. "Oh, Bumblebee... hello." He gave a small wave to the Autobot, remembering the name he'd given from earlier with Clematis. He looked backj down as Nick spoke up, the smaller human's questions immediately seemed to reignite his self-consciousness as he questioned his whereabouts and his alt mode. "Uhm, no- I-" Unable to answer before Twitch introduced himself, the protoform glanced around at each of the Maltos, a nervous smile on his faceplate as he answered the smaller femme. "Hello... I dont know my name..." The Terran gave an anxious shrug as he took another step back, seeing another white and silver bot approach as well.
The young Terran turned to face Nightshade again as they spoke up, seeming to squeeze his own servo a bit tighter as he took another look around at everyone, waving slightly as the green Malto-bot introduced him and their siblings to eachother. At the offer of somewhere to with space, the Terran quickly nodded and spoke. "Yes please..." He would answer with an anxious smile. He'd barely worked up the courage to meet just one femme a couple hours ago, meeting so many new people all at once was certainly overwhelming for him.

Oh geez..
Bumblebee covered his faceplate with a servo, shaking his helm with a soft smile. If it was one thing the Terrans, and even Nick, knew how to do it was to very quickly overwhelm and overstimulate someone. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but just something they were learning as they met new folks. They just got so excited, so he could only imagine how much more excited they were to potentially have a new sibling. It was crystal clear to the scout that the protoform was somewhat uncomfortable with the crowd of Terrans and Nick throwing all sorts of questions his way. Thankfully Nightshade was able to at least pick up on some of that, offering to take their new friend somewhere a bit more quieter so they could relax.
"Nightshade has a point, you guys. I get you're excited but let's give our guest some space to breathe. I know you've got a million questions, but we'll cross that bridge one question at a time. I do like your idea, Nightshade. Why don't you give our new friend a tour?" Bumblebee turned to face the protoform, a relaxed smile on his face. "And hey. It's okay if you don't know your name yet. Maybe Robby and Mo can help you with that, or even Nick, but all at your pace. We're just glad to have you here and we want you to feel comfortable." There was no sense in adding any extra stress to this young bot's day, and there's always be time to talk later. A new Terran meant changing all of his teaching plans, but if nothing else at least this protoform would have five other Terrans to learn from. It'd help to have others like him, even if he wasn't quite comfortable with everyone yet.

The Terrans' excitement was so infectious that Hashtag only felt that much more excited as her siblings and Nick launched an assault of questions the protoform's way. There were so many questions that Hashtag wanted to ask ranging from their name to whether or not they'd like to participate in a family movie sometime, but she was only somewhat surprised to hear that this new Terran didn't have a name. She knew exactly what that was like, only knowing what her name felt like but not the word associated to it. It was Robby who helped her figure it out, and it'd been the same way for Jawbreaker too. Nightshade had been the only Terran that she knew of that actually knew their name right from the get go, and there was nothing wrong with that at all.
But at the same time it seemed their overexcitement was maybe a bit much for the new Terran as they both spoke and backed away nervously. Nightshade and Bumblebee and been the ones to speak up, letting the others know to give their new sibling some space while the green Terran offered to take them somewhere quieter.
"Sorry. I guess we all kinda got excited. It's not every day we get to meet another Terran."

Nick did feel a bit bad for the Bot.
After all, he knew exactly what he was going through. As the kid who’d been thrust onto this group unexpectedly. He’d been scared to death to introduce himself properly to the Malto’s at first. The fact he felt comfortable enough with them now was even a bit of a blessing.
“Hey, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to crowd you,” He encouraged. A genuine smile on his face. “If it makes you feel better - I know the feeling. I uh… Was kind of a surprise myself.”
He eyed Bumblebee with a small smile before turning his attention back to encourage the new Terran. “But don’t worry you’re with friends. Everyone here is really nice,” He explained honestly. “And things can’t get much crazier around here anyway.”
