[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?]

[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.]

[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?

[Not so fast, short stuff. Being mature doesn't exactly mean you can handle yourself. Just means you don't scream like a moron when sent to a different planet.]

Call me Arcee...

[Sorry, give her a minute. It's almost like he's too calm about all of this.]

You okay? You do realize how serious this is, right?

[You obviously don't know about the five minutes he spent sitting and staring blankly into space. Don't worry, he's got this.]

I miss my dad, but I'm fine. I know I'm on Cybertron, and that I can get hurt really easily. That's why I asked about the doctors. I should also put together a first aid kit just in case. It's really lucky that I got my tetanus shot recently.

[He realizes how serious this is, yes.]

[What even is a tetanus?]

Right...

[Arcee's not sure why this weirds her out so much. She doesn't want it to, a responsible kid is a huge deal. ~~Especially when you're used to Miko antics.~~

He's just so...well behaved...]

So you don't plan on, I don't know, risking your life and sticking your head into things it doesn't belong in? Are you inexplicably attracted to caves?

[???]

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.

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?

[That's okay, you're confusing her a lot. Simply by being.]

If you think it's going to kill you, it's probably going to kill you. Trust your gut, that's the best advise I can offer.

[Besides simply staying indoors. But let's face it, he can't be that perfect.

...right?]
