[The video feed shows a very serious, very large Autobot. He looks calm, but... not particularly happy at the moment.]

My designation is Skyfire, Autobot scientist. I have just arrived and received a basic explanation, so that part is covered, mostly. Hard to believe as it might be.

That said - If there are any other Autobots from the same Cybertron I come from, that would be nice to know.

Um. Quite a few? I didn't know transport class was so rare nowadays.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

They're obsolete in my world. A lot of you larger bots are.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

Ah, well... to be quite honest, I'm a bit of an old model even for my own world.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Oh yeah? I guess I shouldn't be asking your age then big guy.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

It's... complicated. I'm not that old, technically. Even though I was built before the war, I spent a very long time in stasis.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Huh. So how long is a very long time?

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

... over nine million years

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Whoa. That is a long time. So why were you in stasis?

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

There was... an accident.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

....An accident.

[Have a raised optic ridge.]

What kind of accident could take out someone as big as you.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

There was a snowstorm.

[...]

A very bad snowstorm.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

It sounds more like an ice age if it put you in stasis.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

Well... yes, it turned out to be exactly that.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Huh. Well, an ice age will put anyone in stasis. Snow is not my favorite terrain to play on and avalanches are just as annoying.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

Mmmm. Is it common in your world, too, then?

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

You could say that. The planet was still developing when we crashed on it.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

... oh. That's something we have in common, then.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

...What planet did you crash on?

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

On Earth, back when there was no intelligent life on the planet yet.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

...The Earth we crashed on was just starting to develop intelligent life.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

[...]

Really? That's... quite a coincidence.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

[...]

....Yeah. Your ship wasn't called the Ark at all, was it?

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

No, but... the Ark did crash on Earth later.

[...]

This is getting a little disturbing.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Oh yeah, you can say that again.

[... Really disturbing.]

So uh. I wonder what else we have in common then.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

... that's an excellent question.

The thing is, I couldn't tell you much more about the Ark or what happened to it. By the time I came out of stasis, they had been on Earth for some time already.
