((Prose or brackets welcome. Feel free to interrupt/run into Drift at any point, in EITHER location or in-between; he likely repeats this process over the course of the few days that siege mode lasts. Chat with him about battle tactics, go scouting with him for food, trying sleeping in his back seat if you want (if you're nice, he might even let you) or park yourself next to him for a nap instead.))

Even a Cybertronian tires from constant fighting. And though Drift wouldn't hesitate to keep going if he'd been making progress, the fruitless efforts in the Observation Deck were just a waste of precious energy. They needed a new tactic, and they likely needed to pool their resources, discuss what information they had, to find it.

Weariness brings up the fuel issue though. Drift's got a few rations, but those will go fast when shared among the other Cybertonians here. So during those periods where he knows he needs to take a break from the fighting but is too restless to recharge, he goes out scouting the station, moving between the Observation Deck and the Cortex and back again. It's a vain hope, that he might find something they could eat here, but no one should know what it feels like to starve (he rather wishes he could forget). And at the very least Drift's performing perimeter patrol duty, keeping people safe, and perhaps he might find some fuel for the organics in the process. Presuming he can properly identify it that is.

There are times when he must rest though. He's too wary to leave the areas where large groups of people have gathered, strength in numbers after all, so he's taken to recharging in altmode nearby. It's not the same as having a recharge station, but it's something at least, letting his systems idle as he sleeps. The red and white alien looking sportscar probably stands out like a sore thumb regardless of how discreetly he's parked in a side corridor, but given the variety of things around this place? Maybe not as much as he thinks.
