This is all just a bit of a good chance for things, for Barricade. Meet a few new people, maybe find a few things. He hadn't had much call for his medical skills and - for the time being - he could use a break from construction. Exploring was a good opportunity for that.

Besides, he doesn't deal often with mechs from other temples. Particularly from Megatronus's. Probably because he was wary of being around anyone Shockwave had something in common with. They hadn't had the best rapport of late and any way to avoid him.

Still, this particular mech... didn't seem so bad, from the network. Barricade approaches from the side, slow enough to try to avoid startling him. "Data pad, huh?" Some kind of conversation starter besides 'So what brings you here' because they all already know.
