[Video] [Transmission originating from Trion's Temple]

[The network opens, and if one looks at their communicator they'll see the face of a rather chipper young girl. And yes, that face is taking up the whole screen. And boy does she look perplexed!]

Okay so wait.

You're saying I'm NOT in California anymore?

[And we're off to a good start. A+ brain power there, Kay.]

Okay... okay, so if I'm not in California...lakes...hills...weirdos in cloaks...

I'm in some alien cult, aren't I.

[She'd normally be excited about this, but the thought of Edgeworth existing without her makes her gasp, placing a hand over her mouth.]

Oh no, then Mr. Edgeworth is out one assistant! Uh, does anyone know how to get back there? I mean, I have some really important business I have to get to! Super secret thief stuff.

C'mon, help a girl out!

[Please excuse this one. She's pretty special.]

Riiiight.

Just like that.

[Another look at her arm before answering that last question.]

Not really...That'd be so cool if it did. Who made you?

It's not like I came from a factory. [Not exactly. She does have a specific creator.] Don't you think that's a personal question?

Oh...sorry...

I didn't know robots had...TMI stuff.

Yes, well-

You don't see me asking how you got made! Some kind of organic fluid exchange? [Ewww, gross.] With your mouths! [Clearly she doesn't understand the process.]

Actually you just asked!

But don't worry, I won't judge.

[She can't help but giggle at Slipstream's innocence in that area, though.]

Well, it's not like you can have robot babies, can you?

[Look at the pot calling the kettle black, here.]

[Granted the process may not be the same for robots from other ~~continuities~~universes, but....]

Does it look like tiny, helpless robots come out of me?! [She stikes her metal knuckles against her metal midriff. At least she has some idea that swollen bellies are involved. That bump is just her cockpit canopy, thank you very much.]

Are we supposed to have eggs or- or cocoons or something?! The process is called protoforming.

Nah, you're way too pretty for that.

[She gives a slight giggle at the tummy knocking.]

What's a protoforming?

[She is considered beautiful, at least by other Decepticon Seekers from her universe, though they are hardly unbiased. Still, she may seem to be preening a bit.]

It's the process, in which protoform, moulded body type, and spark are combined. [Obviously! Well, to her.]

So you ARE built...kinda?

[She seems to be thinking on it.]

But you don't have creators.

Only parts! We're not like Automatons that ship out of Detroit! Protoforms and sparks are living.

It's complicated.

[She's not sure she even wants to look at the lens anymore. She'll just keep transmitting, while she looks over here and crosses her arms.]

Obviously someone initiates the process, but it's not like your families with the work-at-home parent, and the one that comes home from an office, and the kids learn life lessons every day, and then suddenly the cousin you never mentioned moves in. [Because she learned about human families on Earth from television.]

Oh well thank goodness for that! I had to stay with my aunt after my dad died and oh gosh you wouldn't believe how gross some family members can be sometimes! I mean, who just leaves their socks scattered in the kitchen?

WHAT DOES THAT ACCOMPLISH!?

[Wait, back on topic.]

So you're...living...robots...? Do I have that right?
