[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?]

There's plenty of people here that'll help with that, probably. Most of the bots I've talked to haven't been too bad. And the humans, too.

Oh, you too! I'm Fracas. Sorry I didn't mention it sooner.

Not to be rude or anything, but Fracas sounds almost like a human name.

Have you been on Earth before?

... It does? Huh. I never really thought of that before. I just thought it sounded nice.

[Don't even get him started on Steve and Greg, man.]

I have. Our ship was there. I mean, I haven't been down to Earth, but I've tried to get to know it when I can.

Fracas is a nice name! I just thought it sounded very human.

What's your ship doing on Earth? Are you another Autobot?

[He sounds almost excited. More Autobot friends! Now that's something he can look forward to.]

Some of us do, from what I've heard. Well, us Vehicons, actually.

... honestly sometimes I wonder why we're on Earth too, because most days I don't know. And uhm. I'm a. I'm a Decepticon actually.

[He is just bringing all the bad news today, isn't he?

[toguidethem]

Wait... I always sorta thought that the Decepticons were the bad guys...

Some of us are pretty bad. B-but there's a cease-fire, here. We're not supposed to fight each other, if we have a Glyph.

Well that's a relief!

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

I wouldn't hurt you anyway. Humans have... been pretty nice to me.

I don't mind. It... well, Megatron had some good ideas, at the start. He was very... charismatic. And a lot of us - those that look like me - were built into the service.
