[Audio] [Transmission Originating from: Solian Temple] - First Offense

[namesnotprowl]

[There’s a low, frustrated sigh and for a long moment, that’s all there is. Then, someone starts speaking.]

So. I’m dragged to some other Cybertron, go through hours of paperwork, and get dumped on the street. Then I drop off the face of that Cybertron onto a space station in the middle of nowhere and get dumped in a pile of junk that I have to crawl out of.

Now I drop off the face of the station and wind up here with someone in a hood telling me I’m on Cybertron. Again. Not even the same Cybertron, some other Cybertron.

I was in the middle of something! Very important things! [Bartending and best friend things!]

Preach it to the choir, new guy.

I'm not interested in staying, but that's the fact. We're here for now until we can get out. So, you may just have to deal with it for now.

Oh, I know the drill, don't worry. Stuck somewhere with no way of going home, don't go poking the big space-time rift-slash-wormhole in the sky and you'll probably live.

Just gettin' a touch tired of it. [So, so tired.]

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

So it sounds like someone's been around the block. Terrible!

But, guess we're all stuck together now. It might not mean much, but I guess we're just going to have to deal with it now.

Darlin', I've been around the block enough to circle Earth's moon at least twice, I'm sure. [Bad joke. Anyway.]

We're all in it together, right? For better or for worse.

[engrishdetective]

Sounds rough, baby. But I suppose that's life. One moment you're minding your own business, patrolling the highway, and then bam -- interdimensional gateway.

That's the idea.

[namesnotprowl]

[Ooh. You play back. He's missed that. So much.] You've got no idea, dearest. That rolling in your tanks as you get sucked through never really gets better. Or the surprise of falling through the pavement randomly.

Well, at least around here I c'n believe that.

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

Well. I hope you had something a bit softer to land on this time, stranger.

That's the spirit. I think you'll fit right in.

AUDIO;

[namesnotprowl]

Not a clue. Woke up on some slab with a hooded fella staring at me. But there wasn't any paperwork and that's the important part. And it's Barricade, by the by~.

Eh, we'll have to see.

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

Name's Gunmax. Yo, Barricade. So, what are you? Another robot?

AUDIO;

[namesnotprowl]

Heyo, Gunmax. And I am; sure you've heard the word Cybertronian bein' tossed around here already.

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

Sure have. Word's a bit hard for me to pronounce, but I've got it.

You seem decent enough, but I suppose I can't help but wonder your perspective on this whole... "faction war" thing.

AUDIO;

[namesnotprowl]

Decent? Why that's almost flattering~. As for the war... mine ruined our Cybertron long ago, and it won't stop until one side is completely obliterated. I tired of it a long time ago.

Others... others might have hope for peace. Or a truce, at least. If they really want it.

AUDIO;

[engrishdetective]

I'm sure the opinion will improve if you behave.

...Got it. Fair enough. I won't ask for more.

AUDIO;

[namesnotprowl]

Ooh, bribing me with compliments. I see how it is around here. [Hope you don't mind that lightly teasing tone, Gunmax.]

It's a long, boring, cringe-worthy story, really. Doubt it would keep your interest.
