video; | location: the general area of Vector's temple

[stabbywheelfeet]

So let me get this straight.

[Says the unfamiliar -- well, maybe unfamiliar to most -- silver Autobot lounging in a temple doorway. You heard it right, lounging. Apparently no one told him about the giant bug monsters.]

New Cybertron. A bunch of different -- [AIR QUOTES, LITERAL AIR QUOTES] -- "realities" flying around. None of us asked to be here... aaaaand we get to play construction equipment to these 'bots I've never even heard of?

Right, you know what? I'll pass.

When's the next shuttle home? I don't feel like getting my paint dirty.

[He looks as if he's about to turn the Link off entirely, but pauses. Oh, right.]

I'm guessing it's too much to hope anyone I know showed up too? Regardless... this is Sideswipe, shoot me your location and all that.

Sideswipe: out.

[Have a small blue bot speaking really, really fast.]

Oh riiiiigh the SHUTTLE! I knew we were forgetting something.


Silly us.

[stabbywheelfeet]

...

Say what?

[Oh, no, he understood. But far be it from him to pass up an opportunity to be a jackass.]

[raceme]

[Yeah, Blurr's too used to it to care.

Okay, perhaps he does care a title.]

[stabbywheelfeet]

What?

[raceme]

[Blurr rubs the front of his helmet for a second.]

Lets start again. I'm Blurr.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I can tell.

... Never heard that name before, though.

Gotaproblemwitmyname?

I might _not exist in your reality. You do exist in mine but you are really different, ^{you are a senior investigator} for Cybertron Police Defense Command.

[stabbywheelfeet]

What?

[Totally doing it on purpose.]

... A what now?

[raceme]

[B|]

...

Someone very useful. [Unlike you right now.]

[stabbywheelfeet]

I don't see how anyone could be more useful than a soldier.

[raceme]

He was a soldier, back in the days. Times changed.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Well, aren't you lucky.

[raceme]

Lucky why, exactly?

[stabbywheelfeet]

That's for me to know.

[raceme]

You are weird...

[stabbywheelfeet]

Or fabulous.

[raceme]

...


Fabulous, you say.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I do say.

[raceme]

What makes someone fa-bu-lous?

[stabbywheelfeet]

They're me.

[raceme]

That's not enough.

[stabbywheelfeet]

It is for me.
