[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?]

[???]

Caves are dangerous though...

[Not that he wouldn't go into them of course, but usually he has an adult or robot with him.]

My dad likes to keep me away from the danger, and I usually don't try looking for it.

[But sometimes he ends up in situations where he's completely over his head.

Let him tell you about the time he went back in time and accidentally changed the future...]

[There is no way he's human.]

Think you'll do just fine, kiddo.

...I see. They don't get to keep my stuff, but I get a friend? Yes, that makes sense.

Yes! Well. Technically. I'm a copy of one.

You know... if you want a last name, you can use mine if you want. That's if you don't mind sharing it with me.

So you're a clone?

Really? Wait... does that make us friends?

Right. Of Starscream. He was second in command of the Decepticon army. [Proud]

[Cody laughs, delighted with Dirge's glee.]

Sharing a last name could also mean we're family in a way! Dirge Burns sounds pretty cool anyway.

Also, if you don't mind me asking... how old are you? You almost seem like a kid to me.

My name's Power Joe! I'm a member of the Brave Police!

And yours?

Keeping Headquarters maintained, relaying important information or calls to officers on patrol if no one is at the station, helping to keep an eye on prisoners, helping to organize supplies brought in from the junkyard, and other duties as needed.

Do you feel that you can perform these tasks?

[He salutes back, very serious about this but maybe smiling a little.]

Laws and rules? Sounds boring. [Hey, she was a pirate before, and some habits are hard to lose!] Are you in the Law Enforcements?
But medical sounds interesting. Getting hurt on unknown territory is the worst thing that could happen.

It helps a lot, thank you. You got friends here? You look familiar enough with the bigger... inhabitants of this place.

I've always wanted a family. [He technically has a brother, but he hasn't seen him in a very long time.]

I'm not a kid. I can fly and use my lasers and everything. [Yay, adult body!]

Let's see... I have... in Earth years...

Three. I have three years. [Proud]

...

So you're just a baby?

[He figured you were young Dirge but he didn't know you were that young.]

A what?

With humans a baby is anyone under the age of... 3.

[You're the biggest robobaby he's ever seen.]

[Dirge would be really insulted if he could figure out what the heck you're talking about.]

I am three. But I'm not small. Humans are the smallest when they are young- right?

Well... yeah.

Um...

[He will never not think of you as a giant baby robot from this moment on.]

Babies are cute though! To some people.

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

[... Oh, God, and you're polite and respectful, too! Bless you, child.]

Well, Cody, I think we need to find you someone to room with. Or at least someone to help you out in case there's trouble. And while I'm more than willin' to do so, I mean one of these giant robots, too. We got ourselves a huge centipede infestation not long ago. Don't think it'd be wise to go out and about without [parental guidance] someone to help you out.

And [sigh] unfortunately, there's only myself and a young woman named Vandal servin' as doctors treating humans. Dunno if you've met her yet. But you come to me if ya need help or, well, just anythin', all right? [BIG PATERNAL LOOK]

[Okay, there must be something wrong here, because Cody has called him at least three things nobody has ever attributed to him before. Especially not 'cute'.]

You think I'm...cute?

Of course.

Big, strong looking. Not all of them are very sociable but they are trying to do the right thing here. Some enjoy fighting or scientific challenges while others enjoy a different sort of entertainment, like writing and reading.

Do you know your FirstForged?

[Cody honestly doesn't really like the idea of living on his own. Sure, he can probably do it just fine, but he likes having people around to create a sort of background noise. He considers it carefully.]

I think I'll be spending a lot of time down at the police headquarters, so I don't think I'll be alone too much....

Wait, a centipede infestation?

[Why does that sound more gross than threatening?]

I'm one of Prima's apparently! It's pretty nice in here actually.

Whose glyph do you have?

Thanks?

[Oh no you're confusing him a little.]

So how dangerous is it to go out and explore around here? Is there anything I should look out for?

Well, I'm part of it now! Following the laws is the best way to ensure that people don't get hurt. If everyone did what they wanted, then everything would be in chaos.

And yes! I had Autobot friends back home. They're not... here right now.

Well that's a relief!

Why are you a Decepticon? If you don't mind me asking of course.

Well when you get back I guess.

We can't stay here forever right?
