just something I whipped up real fast, to try and get back into writing again. that, and I got inspired by Artisan Brown's Limits story, which is all about minor characters.

The press secretary liked working for the mayor. The hours were easy, the pay was high, and she met interesting people. A win-win situation all around.

But then it got complicated. Those... those Autobots suddenly showed up, and everything hit the fan.

Suddenly there were demolished buildings, leading to more homeless citizens. More Autobot and Decepticon battles led to more people injured thus more crowded hospitals. And for each incident, the press, both human and robotic, wanted more answers, more promises, and more and more assurances that it wouldn't happen again.

Sometimes, the Press Secretary wished the Autobots hadn't showed up.
