[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?]

[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.

You are wiser than I am, for that at least. I was thoroughly "freaked out" as you say.

[Still smiling lightly, the feline tilted her head on the side.]

So "Cody", I am Shira. Nice to meet you. Would you be so kind and explain me what "police" and "medical" are?

[Cody imagines that an alien robot world would be a lot different than anything Shira is used to.]

Gladly! Most civilizations have laws and rules, and the police, or Law Enforcements, are the ones who make sure the rules are followed. Medical is another word for medicine, and they're people like doctors and stuff like that. So if we get hurt, we need medical care.

Does that help?

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.

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.
