Your characterization is a marvel. These people give me the creeps. Well, Harriet and Archie and Mack do. I think I'd be like Frank. I'd just want to stand at the entrance to the Ark and stare up at those huge engines and go "....wow."
These people are a cross-section of human reaction: Harriet, the woman on a mission who wants the Autobots OFF HER PLANET; Mack, who doesn't have anything better to do; Archie, conspiracy theorist; and Frank, a guy whose dreams have fled and just wants to feel part of something bigger than himself.
And the Autobots, just trying to deal with it all and fight a war besides. What a nightmare for Prime...
I was going to tell you earlier (from my reading of 'Crowd Control'), but this reminds me of a scene from Contact. This has the same feeling of comedy, anticipation, and the edge of dread to it that that did.
