[Video] [Transmission originating from: Junkpile]
Greetings, citizens of... err... Cybertron.
[Somehow, it still feels strange to say that. It had been thousands of stellar cycles since he'd been stationed on Cybertron, and while this planet may have shared the name, it definitely wasn't the home he'd known.]
My name is Optimus Prime - I am the leader of a small crew of Autobots, stationed on planet Earth.
I know that a lot of you don't want to be here. In fact, I know a lot of you are here against your will. But in spite of that, I think that it's important that we all do our best to make the most of our current situation. We may be from different universes, but chances are, we still have quite a bit in common. If we work together, I think that we'll be able to make this work, at least until we find a way to return home.
[It wasn't one of his better speeches, but then... what could he say in this situation? There weren't many who would rush to work together with complete strangers.]
... If I can be of assistance to anyone, please let me know.
[He pauses, making one more effort to reach his teammates. He doesn't particularly want to be there alone, but he wouldn't wish ill on any of them either.]
Autobots, if you are receiving this transmission, report back immediately.

If I were afraid of infection, I wouldn't be the Chief Medical Officer assigned to Optimus Prime, now, would I?
[ His expression softens just the slightest, because he's not mad as much as he is frustrated, like a father with children who just won't listen. ]
Now give me your location, soldier, so I can come take a look. I'm a bit hardier than other mechs, and I'll have my quarantine processes running if you're that afraid of cross-infection.
[video]
I didn't say you were 'afraid'. [But, point taken.]
[He's going to take a minute, trying to find another reason to refuse, but, yeah. He's coming up empty.]
Fine. [He sends coordinates: in the Junk Pile of course. ] Just... be careful.
[action?]
[ Ratchet nods into the comm, then transforms, cutting communication as he drives out of Solus's Temple in the direction of the coordinates he'd been given. ]
