Not yet complete, but I got to keep this pic while its being worked on digitally =D So, this one's in progress, but, just, kind of has a special meaning and I had to at least pop it up and give some background

You see, Nautica has been fun ever since she appeared in MTMTE, a Quantum Mechanic with a taste of well filtered and imported Engex brews? A well read wallflower looking to expand her horizons and has the transformers equivalent of the Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who, lol

But on Nautica's home planet, relationships are everything, every person is expected to have someone special, if not romantically, at least platonically as a friend, it's so sacred a bond friendship, that even being without a friend will have you ostracized or seen as highly dubious of your character

Never mind the stigma that follows if you broke up your friendship

And so, when the Decepticon Justice Division threatened to loom in and slaughter her and the rest of the crew, with everyone choosing what to do with their last hours, she chose simply to gather her closest friends among them, and opening up her torso, exposed her own spark/heart and recited the ceremonial rites of her home world, wanting them all to know that even if they died, just how much they all meant to her

It was a beautiful moment, and really went and solidified Nautica's place in my heart, so, yes, I hope this piece does her some justice <3
