[The feed flickers on, which shows nothing at first. Oddly enough, it’s the inside of the altar room ov Vector Prime. Maybe someone had left their--

But there’s a flash of orange eyes. They only flicker in the feed for a fleeting moment. In another flicker, there’s something peering down into the device, a nose prodding it. It looks to be a a dog of a robotic nature.]

A communication device… [The dog’s eyes brighten and fade with every word and he lifts a red paw up to reposition the object.]

Calling Brave Police, this is Shadowmaru. [He lifts his head, ears alert as he hears something off in the distance. Thankfully it was one of the acolytes. The BP Unit relaxes.]

I am low on fuel. I’m not quite sure if this place even has fuel, but. I’ll try my best for the time being.

If anyone else can hear this, I will try my best to send my coordinates. I read other signatures here, but I’m not familiar with any of them. [His head perks up again, orange optics wary.]

Again, this is Shadowmaru, calling for the Brave Police. If anyone could give me their location, it would be appreciated.

[He then races off screen, the device jostling before shutting off.]

Shadowmaru!?

Maru, it's Deckard. Which temple are you at? I'm heading out to meet you.

Deckerd.

[More relief washes into his voice as he sees and hears him. There were more of his teammates here. He didn't expect this many.]

Vector Prime, I believe these acolytes called it.

Have any of the others contacted you yet? Is someone on the way?

...Shadowmaru...Kagerou's here. It's a long story how, but . . . he is. He's alive, and has been here for some time. I...

I thought you should know.

I... I know. He's coming by.

[He's silent for a long moment, his eyes downcasted.]

How long has he been here? H...Have you been taking care of him, Deckerd?

. . . I don't know that he actually wants anything to do with me more times than not. He seems much closer to McCrane and Power Joe. I do my best by him, though. When he lets me.

Time's strange here, though. I think he's been here something like a year and a half now. What...what's the last thing that happened to us for you? Do you remember the Gunpulators?

Kagerou is a sensitive unit. He'll warm up to you in time, just like I have.

[He pauses and almost huffs at the mention of those things.]

I remember those blasted things, yes. The last thing I remember was you coming back down from space.

…sensitive…

["Yeah, but you only took a day or two. It's been months now here…" – he won't bother arguing, just nods. And then gapes a little.]

Space?

[So far, he'd been the one from the most advanced point in their timestream, so it's a bit of a shock to hear of something he's not experienced yet, himself. That must be it, since the only time /he/ knows of having been in space, Shadowmaru had still been under development and would have no memory of it.]

You know.

The aliens chose you to go up into space to help an alien race a--

[A pause.]

You're. Not from the same 'timeperiod' as I am. Are you?

still recovering from that fiasco with the Gunpulators. That's not unheard of, though. Power Joe never experienced the Gunpulators – the last thing he knew was Lua and the Bubblegum Sisters.

Tell you what, I'm sure you want time with Kagerou first. When you're free, let me know. We'll get together and catch each other up to speed on things here and back home. And make sure you get your engine converted. There's no gasoline here, I'm afraid. The Cybertronians have a fuel they call energon. It's strange stuff, but it does the job.

[That catches him off guard, but he nods. Deckerd had a point there.]

Sounds like a plan to me.

Good. I look forward to hearing from you again, and I'll debrief you on anything someone else hasn't by then.
