It was nothing short of astounding that a sleazeball of Tanizaki's caliber had done so much for Naomi. It certainly had the Autobot wondering if, somewhere, the human genuinely cared for her, or if he was just that keen on protecting his own interests. Jolt settled on the latter, but he was probably biased.

That aside, he understood her position. The Autobots, even NEST, was his family, and he would do anything for them and their cause. (Though if he ever voiced this opinion to them, Sideswipe and the twins would rag on him for the next deca-cycle.) "I know how you feel," he said at length, deciding there was no such threat of razzing from Naomi.
