[So a pillar's been taking residence in the Haven? Most would find this weird, or even...an intruder. Most would be suspicious that it's what's been causing all the trouble around there. The key word here is...most.

The feed clicks on, and shows Wheeljack actually up an about! Seems like Solus's boon did quite a lot for him--his arm seems to be functioning well, after all. His back is turned for the moment, digging in what looks to be the junkpile, pulling out a bunch of wires and metal and tossing them into a pile next to himself.

What were they for?


Who knows--oh wait, he turns around.]

So I've been thinkin'--

[And already we see something's terribly, terribly wrong. The facemask has been pulled over Wheeljack's mouth. Usually, this is only for battle, but Wheeljack seems to have...taken a liking to it? For now? And let's not get started on those audials. At the very sound of his voice, they seem to blink like a bad neon sign, at almost every syllable.

That's not annoying.]

With all this junk in the junkpile, I'm thinkin we just need to spruce up somma our equipment, if ya get what I'm sayin'. I don't have much, but I think I got just enough to get a flux capacitor implemented in our own frames!

Just imagine, time travel to any point! Then we could REALLY see how we got to this place. If only I had a proper lab, this would be a whole lot easier. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, that pillar's lookin' pretty weird too.






[What the fuck just happened.]

... You been taking anything, uh, illegal lately, kid?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Illegal? Not since that one time in Iacon-

Hehe...but that's another story for another time. Why do ya ask?

...

And what's a human like you doin' on Cybertron?

I'm pretty sure most people have pointed this out already, but you aren't exactly... you.

And I got here the same way you did. Dimensional tear. I didn't come here on my own accord, if that's what you're thinking.

Yeah, yeah somethin' about bein' a Wrecker. But that's gotta be some other kinda universe, right? The one I'm from it ain't like that at all. Scientist through and through, you know?

...

Good, that was gonna be my next question. And now the final one.


How you all breathin'?

That's how it looks, but it just doesn't seem... right. Either you're being replaced with a duplicate, or you've adopted a duplicate's mindset and personality. A body-swap, maybe.

And I'm a doctor, not a scientist. All I know is I'm breathin', and I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth about it.

You're tellin' me, everyone keeps sayin' I'm not the real one. But here I am, the one standin' in front of em. Ya think that'd be proof. Can't say it's a body swap, though, this looks like mine enough.

[A body swap...but then...why doesn't he feel different? Or anything?]

Just you leave the science to me, buddy. I'll have to look into this. Ya wouldn't wanna join me, would ya? I wouldn't mind the doc position filled again.
