[Behold! A new voice on the network. And... it sounds decidedly uncertain. Maybe a little shaky.]

[Hey, when you get electrocuted by thousands of volts out of nowhere before waking up somewhere you've never seen, you're bound to sound a little off. Not to mention completely overwhelmed.]

[And quite honestly, he doesn't know what to say right now. Asking the empty air for help? In a place he's never even heard of? Surrounded by sights and sounds and robots utterly foreign? That seems... odd. But what choice does he have?]

Someone... please. [He hesitates.] I don't understand what's happened.

I --

[And here is where the first bit of real panic seems to show through. Sure, he got the explanation, but--] I don't remember coming here. Or ever hearing of such a place.

Please answer me.

No one seems to be able to.

[And that's frustrating beyond belief.]

... There are times when violence is the only option for change. Maybe he can tell you wouldn't understand that.

[She gives a small shrug, though it doesn't seem to say too bad, it seems to be more of a 'there you have it' expression.]

I know sometimes violence is needed, I wouldn't mind a world where it's not, but sometimes you can't talk the other person out of it if they want to hurt you, then you have a choice, fight them, or let them hurt you. Personally... I don't want to just let people hurt me because that's what they decided is the right thing to do, so I will fight to defend myself, or the people important to me.

I think he just has a hard time staying as the cold, distant type if he told us something like that. I mean it probably hurts him a lot.

And have you ever had to do that? To fight for yourself?

[He just sort of looks at the feed.]

I wouldn't know. I don't have any idea who you're talking about.

[She pauses a moment before answering, a serious, and somewhat sad, look on her face.]

No, normally Bulkhead is there to save me... but since he's not here... I may have to, I can't expect Wheeljack to always come save me just cause he is Bulkhead's friend.

[She missed Bulkhead, and moments like this really sank in the idea that she may never see him again. Seeming so shake off the melancholy she smiles a little bit at Kagerou.]

Ratchet is a good guy, he is an Autobot medic, and can fix anything, but he likes to act like he isn't all that fond of us humans, when really he cares a lot. He does stuff like that a lot, hiding how he really feels by being grumpy.

Then, are you really in a position to talk about fighting? The rights and wrongs of it?

[Sorry, kid, he's... not socially gifted. He's also pretty pessimistic.]

Medic. The robot who manages the repairs of the others?

Just because I haven't yet doesn't mean that I am okay with just giving up and not fighting. And there is nothing wrong with fighting to protect myself, I want to live and should have every right to protect myself.

[She is probably at least equally stubborn as he is pessimistic, if not more.]

Yeah, he fixes others when they get hurt or sick.
