[Cody has to sit down and think for a few moments. His first initial reaction to having everything explained to him is a strange mixture of excitement and dread. On the one hand, he's on Cybertron! He never in his life believed that he'd be able to see it. On the other, he's very, very far away from his friends and family. He'll manage of course, but he thinks that he'd be a lot happier of there were familiar faces around.

But now he gets the chance to talk to more Cybertronians! From different dimensions no less. Despite the deep pang of homesickness, he's eager to embrace this opportunity while he can. He picks up the communications device, takes a deep breath, and turns it on.]

Hello! My name's Cody Burns and I'm from, uh, Earth!

Does anyone know bots by the names of Heatwave, Chase, Boulder, or Blades?

Also I'm curious... is there a rescue force of some kind here? You know, for fire, police, medical, and other kinds of emergencies? Are there any places I can get food and water without having to go look through the junkpile?

How many other humans are there?

[Yes Cody has a lot of questions, but who wouldn't in this situation?]

[Well, you certainly took the news better than he did. A little too well.]

Kid, you realize you're on an alien planet, right? Shouldn't your first question be 'Why can I breathe?'

[Video]

[toguidethem]

Isn't it cool! You think it wouldn't be possible, but it is!

I've always been curious about Cybertron. I can't believe that I'm actually here!

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

...Wait, you've heard of this place?

[Well, that'd probably be why he's suddenly okay with it.]

[Video]

[dirge]

Well well, aren't you just bite-sized?

[Video]

[toguidethem]

[Oh...]

...Most people would just say Hello.

[Video]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Sorry kid, looks like you're going have to rough it.

[We're ogg to a great start.]

[Video]

[toguidethem]

It won't be that much of a problem! I can deal.

[Slight doubletake. Wow, you're definitely not Cybertronian!]

Oh wow you look... so cool! What are you?

[Man those battle scars just scream AWESOME.]

[redshirtrobot]

Woah. Another kid.

[Fracas peers at the video closely because. Kids.]

I haven't seen any bots that go by those names, myself. I don't think, anyway.

There's a police force, and a lot of medics around too. Not sure about fire, though. And I think some of the other humans have been working on the food thing?

... You ask a lot of questions.

[toguidethem]

...Oh...

Well, I guess I figured there was a chance they wouldn't be here.

[He finds himself bitterly disappointed despite himself.]

I like being prepared. Dad says it's the smartest thing a person can do.

[mccrane]

This is McCrane, of the Brave Police...

And to answer your question: Yes.

[They're Police, Rescue, and also handy with the power tools.]

Do you need assistance?

[toguidethem]

I don't, I just wanted to know if there was one in case of emergencies.

You wouldn't happen to have a call or command centre would you?

[Video]

[silverkitty]

[And another talking human. That planet was indeed full of surprise!]

Oh, you are just snack sized. [She smirks, showing her long teeth.] And before you run away screaming, that was a joke.

You don't seem that surprised to end up on another... planet. Happened to you before?

[Video]

[toguidethem]

[Ordinarily, a talking sabre-toothed tiger would be a cause for worry. It's the talking that keeps Cody from terminating the link. How often do you get to talk to a sabre-toothed tiger? It's not like it's the weirdest thing that's happened to him today.]

No... I guess I just don't see the point in freaking out. Getting to know people and my surroundings is a better use of my time.

[sariexmachina]

...Never heard of 'em-

Oh. Wait. I think there was someone named Blades here for a while?

He's gone now. Or I haven't seen him on the network for a long while.

[She'd reply to that 'human' part. But.

Well... That's a bit of an awkward subject.]

[toguidethem]

Oh... well thank you!

[That makes him sad, but he tries not to show it too much. He can tell that Sari is a little bit younger than he is.]

I was hoping that one of them would be here at least...

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Oh for the love of, who keeps sending these bitty humans here? Whoever it is, she'd really like to punch them in the face; these poor kids. At least he missed the centipedes?]

I'll give you points for maturity.

[Should she know those bots? It sounds like she should know those bots.

Oh well.]

[Video]

[toguidethem]

[Cody laughs. Being told that he's mature makes him feel both proud and smug. See? He can handle himself! Wait until he goes home and tells everyone about this!]

Thanks! I'm just trying to get to know my surroundings a little.

So what's your name?

[raceme]

[Oh that name soudns familiar.]

Blades was here time ago, he mentioned you.

I am a member of the Police Force, my name's Blurr. Do your esquire assistance? If you need a doctor you can find them on Solus's temple.

We have a garden and some food stored, you might like to talk to a young human called Ventus for that.

[toguidethem]

How long ago? I hear that he's not around anymore.

I was just wondering if there was a Police Force! I talked to McCrane about it.

I'll make sure to contact him, thank you.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

[Oh no. Ohnoohnoohno! Another kid! His paternal instincts are kicking in! No!]

Heya, kid. Leonard McCoy here. You all right? The shock's normal, but you're not suffering from any injuries upon arrival? [fretfret] Are you by yourself or did you manage to find any of your friends?

Also, I've stocked up on plenty of food and water I'd be happy to share.

[HE'S TRYING NOT TO SOUND WORRIED BUT HE REALLY IS.]

[video]

[toguidethem]

[Uh oh, super fussy grown-up alert!]

I'm not hurt. I'm alone as far as I can tell, and it doesn't look like anyone I know is here. It's really nothing to worry about Mr. McCoy, I'll be okay! I kinda wish my dad was here though.

I appreciate it sir! Are there any human doctors here?

[video ~ your favorite]

[rednotbluethx]

Aww, more fleshies, huh? Well, ya look 'bout my size, kid. I think we could have lotsa fun t'gether.

[Video] Yooooou

[toguidethem]

[Cody's "stranger danger" senses are tingling.]

You must be a very small robot...

[spacerhero]

[What. What. There's a little boy on this planet. A very little boy. What. Cue bad flashbacks of the last child Shepard interacted with.]

Hello Cody, I'm Commander Shepard of the Alliance Navy. Are you in any danger currently? I'm not too familiar with this place, but I'll assist you in any way I can, including helping you find rations and water.

[Regardless of whether or not he was used to being around giant robots, he was from Earth, and that made this place foreign. And he was so young! She just wanted to wrap her arms around him and promise to keep him safe. And not catch on fire while doing so.]

[toguidethem]

It's nice to meet you Commander!

That's really nice of you ma'am! But I think I've got everything covered. I'm going to be working for the Police Force and they'll make sure I've got food and water.

It's so amazing being on another planet! I can't wait to tell my family back home.
