re_alignment | [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.

Have you found someone who's not here against their will?

[Drift hasn't.]

[But the bigger issue is:]

Why only Autobots?

The war's not here, and Cybertronians aren't the only ones who are here. Why are you trying to recreate those lines?

[ Someone is very mad, yet somewhat familiar sounding. ]

You are not--

[ Oh wait. Alternate universes. Slag. ]

Ugh. Nevermind.

[ Bye Optimus. Ratchet is going to pretend that That Never Happened. ]

[Finally someone he knows! Kinda.]

SirOptimusPrimesir! It's nice to see someone from my world!

IfoundELITAONE!Turns out that she's fine and she says there was never an accident to begin with and that she was never oflines She ALSO looks more like Arcee her paintjob is pink. I talked to Ratchet and Wheeljack but they look different as well and Wheeljack insist that Cybertron is a dead planet and that that we are still at war against the Decepticons after thousands years.

Not quite one of Megatron's speeches, but it'll do. [This smirk is saying she's way too delighted with the speech.] If you're going to transmit video, you could do with a few decisive gestures.

[She's doing some encompassing gesture with her arms.] 'If we work together, we will prevail, and find our way home!' [She draws her hands together to decisively pound fist against palm.]

Rumor is Starscream is here. You seen him? [Abrupt change of subject is obvious and abrupt.]

Actually, I have.

[Prima, Megatronus, Liege - they were here intentionally. They did count. ~~But that thread is still ongoing, so I don't want to say too much yet.~~]

I'm not looking to start a fight. To be honest, that... was mostly directed at my crew. But chances are, most of the Decepticons wouldn't be interested in reporting to me either.

E-Excuse me?

[That was... interesting. And reminded him of someone, somehow...]

[...]

[By the AllSpark, he speaks fast. What-]

...

[How would Blurr even know about-]

Someone voluntarily came through the Lambda?

[He nods.]

Then they can tell us how to get back. Who?

[Because he hasn't found Ratchet here yet. Or Pipes. Or First Aid. And they have a quest to finish, that would save everyone.]

But by dividing us up into factions, you're trying to start something. You must have realized there's more than your crew here.

'Chances are'. So you're not even willing to try.

[Of course. He wouldn't know - he was referring to the accident on Archa Seven, not Blackarachnia.]

Optimus... Prime. Really? [Knock Out can't help an incredulous little laugh. You don't look-- or sound-- anything like the Prime he knows.]

[Unfortunately, Optimus has yet to actually meet Blurr. The Elite Guard symbol is telling, but beyond that...

Obviously, he knew him. If not from the mention of Elita, then from the general familiarity.]

Alright, slow down.

I'm sorry, but... have we met?

[this is not a happy smiling face. It's more of a snarl.]

Excuse me?

Oh. Er. I didn't mean that they came through the Lamda against their will-

[AllSpark, he could not get this right, could he?]

I'm sorry, but I don't follow your logic. I was trying to make contact with my team - the rest of what I said was directed at everyone. I wouldn't expect the Decepticons or anyone else to report to me. If my crew is here, I'd like to make sure that they're alright - along with any other Autobot. They're my responsibility.

... But that doesn't mean that I plan to pick a fight with the Decepticons, or that I would ignore anyone else in need.

[Excuse him, he has yet to encounter Starscream's clones. And despite the apparently colour-blindness that comes into effect with the clones, you are decidedly not Starscream.]

... After what happened, I don't blame him for flying under the Decepticon radar.

I don't know where he is now.

... Is there a problem?

[Well, this is just getting better and better.]

Blackarachnia.

This isn't our universe. While she... maybe a version of Elita-1, that doesn't mean she's...

She isn't the same 'bot.

[Oh hello...stranger.]

Uhm...youareexcusedmadam?

[Too bad, Blurr was so happy to see a familiar face.]

Iwastalkingslow. [For his standards, anyway.]

...

Yes can't you remember? Did something happen to your processor? please not another Arcee again...

Oh no, no, not at all~. Forgive me, that was incredibly rude, wasn't it?

Hello, Optimus.

[That word? A hiss. Who have you been telling her secrets to, hm?]

A pleasure, as always. I confess I didn't expect to see you here.
