[Video][Nexic Quadrant]

[skidaddle]

You know, lately, when I was thinking about enjoying the freedom to make my own destiny without worrying about the bits of my past I was missing, I sort of meant to be enjoying that freedom IN MY OWN GALAXY.

However, I guess I've woken up in plenty of stranger places.

Or. At least one stranger place.

[Really, nothing could beat coming online in a ship that turned into giant robots that were fixated on one number. This was a pretty close second, though.]

I guess I've only got two questions.

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

First: Is there anyone around who's qualified to give me orders?

[Rodimus? Ultra Magnus? Whirl? What was the ranking system on the Lost Light, anyway?]

And secondly...and more importantly, is there a bar?

[He holds up an empty glass, which, given this new predicament, he knows he's going to want filled again. Tomorrow, he can start coming up with theories as to how he got here. Tonight, he doesn't want to.]

[thehardway]

...Skids?

AUDIO;

[skidaddle]

Ultra Magnus?

No.

Actually, that was serious. Is that you? Because I don't have your voice print memorized.

AUDIO;

[thehardway]

Please. Softly.

Yes, it is me. As far as chain of command goes, I suppose I will... fill in the role. No one else can or will.

[How does he go about talking about Rodimus. Because he isn't so sure he can do that right now with the headache he has.]

[voice]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

How do you know it's not your own galaxy, amnesia boy? For all you know, you've done all this before. Like. Yesterday.

[Whirl figures Skids might as well be a living embodiment of Groundhog Day.]

[voice]

[skidaddle]

I'm pretty sure that I remember yesterday. It was depressing. Now that I think about it, I'd probably prefer to forget.

[Wait.]

You're here, too?

This is Whirl, right?

[Voice]

[vandalization]

There's plenty of bossy people here.

But yes, there is a bar and that's really what matters.

[Voice]

[skidaddle]

I think they're putting something in the energon around here, too.

[Because Ultra Magnus right now is frightening.]

At this point, though, I'll take what I can get.

The name's Skids.

[Video]

[rungout]

[Have a tired looking therapist! But at least he's offering up a faint smile.]

I'm not at all surprised one of your first questions was about where the bar may be, Skids.

[Video]

[skidaddle]

Given what I'm hearing from Whirl and Ultra Magnus, that question is becoming more pressing by the instant.

[Hey, though! At least you are here.]

Tell me. In your professional opinion...

Is everyone still sane?

[Video]

[raceme]

This place it's not as bad as it looks at first glance SIR.

I'm Blurr member of the Elite Guard and part of the intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction. HERE I am the head of the Police Force. I beleive that the FirstForgued are qualified to give the orders as well as the Law Committee but you can chose to ignore them both.

We have a bar indeed IT'S located close to the Junk Pile, in a Rec Center named The Hub.

[Video]

[skidaddle]

Whoa, there, and hello.

I wasn't planning on engaging in any criminal activity, but it's nice to know that it's an option.

[He's not going to say anything about how fast you talk. He knows Swerve. Granted, how fast you talk and how much you talk are two different things, but he isn't picky.]

If I could get those coordinates, I would be very. Very. Appreciative right now.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

There are way worse places to wake up.

[video]

[skidaddle]

Oh, hey, it's you!

I can't say I mind another familiar face.

[Really, it's almost starting to feel like they're just on another mission, now. They've found some new, strange planet and are exploring around the ruins, or something.]

The way Ultra Magnus was talking, I think I started to suspect this planet was a war-zone. But now, there's humans talking to me and police officers telling me that it's okay to commit crimes, so maybe it's not so bad as it first seemed.

[video - golly am i your first decepticon? teehee!]

[rednotbluethx]

Y'could try the police, but they're all a buncha losers who can't do nuttin' fer scrap.

[snort] Yanno, I been hearin' dat deactivatin' yerself can return ya to yer yewniverse. Wanna give it a shot [HA], bluebutt?

[video - FIRST AND LAST, SHORT STUFF!]

[skidaddle]

Wait, did you just say that out loud?

Hold on.

I'm going to need you to repeat it. Preferably in front of Ultra Magnus.

[What a valiant effort! He doesn't actually know who you are, but he's got a pretty good inkling of what, based off that last bit.]

Does that ever actually work?

( video )

[pendragon]

[ This man apparently knows his priorities. ]

The FirstForged are the highest in rank here. Then there are the Law Enforcement and Police Force.

..There is a bar inside the recreation center in the center of the city, by the junk pile.

( video )

[skidaddle]

Oh really?

What kind of rank do they have? I'm betting it's a big one.

[Because this temple? It is enourmous.]

[Which would be enough of a surprise, if there weren't you. Forgive him as he stares for a moment.]

Human, right?

[He's gonna owe Vandal a drink for prepping him on this one.]

[Video]

[invisiblepinkboat]

Depends on who you're looking for that you'd consider qualified, and for the second, there is one.

[Elita's just going to send a ping with the coordinates for the location of said bar. You're welcome. She then grins a bit.]

You're going to find you're going to want to be more specific when you ask for people around here, since most of us are from other realities than yours.

[Video]

[skidaddle]

[I know you've gotten it before, Elita, and I'm sorry you have to go through it again.]

Anyone would be more qualified than me right now to assess the situation.

[Pink. That's a good color. He remembers when Pink was in.]

[That would probably be a lot more useful if he remembered when it had gone back out again.]

I'm starting to figure that out. If you're Cybertonian--then you're definitely from one.

Since.

I'm guessing.

You've probably noticed there's something different about you.

[It has to be the lipstick.]

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Well I can't help you much with the first, but I can at least with the second. There's a bar that part of Haven's Hub, I can send you coordinates if someone hasn't already.

[He smiles in greeting.] I'm Wing by the way.

[Video]

[skidaddle]

I've gotten them a few times over, which is at least enough to confirm that the place is there, and hasn't been stepped on by whatever person built this place.

[Because this temple? It's huge.]

Skids.

I see you were part of the monosyllabic moniker inductees, too. It's very. Descriptive.

Works for you.

[You look fancy and all.]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Only if you let them, I suppose.

And yes.

[Video]

[skidaddle]

My guess is that they'd know a heck of a lot more about what's going on right now than I do.

Which.

Considering I know nothing about this place?

Would be true.

[Though technically anyone would know more than him right now.]

I've got the coordinates.

Nice alt mode, by the way.

[audio - you ready for this bro YOU READY]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Your best luck is the police force. Not so much the Firstforged, but that depends on who you speak to.

Before you go off on a binge, are you all right? Health-wise. [Because.]

[audio -MY BODY IS READY]

[skidaddle]

I keep hearing about this police force.

It sounds like it would have a lot of...rules. And Regulations.

And while I'm not against either of those, really, I think I like the idea of starting over again without them in the way.

[Familiar voice, but not familiar enough for him to put a name to it. Thankfully, he has the list that Ultra Magnus gave him, and he can narrow it down because HOW MANY PEOPLE ask about one's health first off?]

Is this First Aid or Ambulon?

[Not answering that question, nope~]
