Neither Optimus, not Ratchet noticed the people around them as they drove. Well, they did, but didn't see them as any more than the normal human locals. All it meant was that they couldn't drop their disguised unless absolutely neccisary.

[i]"Optimus, I'm detecting a settlement nearby"[/i] Ratchet said through their communicator.

[i]"Understood"[/i] Optimus replied as they both began heading towards it. It would take a while as the lack of road would mean that they would have to drive slowly.
