[That's a unicorn.

His horn is glowing as he magics his communicator into functionality. What could this majestic creature possibly want? He opens his mouth and out comes the mighty voice of JK Simmons.]

If there's anyone out there who can fashion an airtight suit of armor for an equine, you would be much obliged.

((ooc: forgot the ooc check in last time, this repost is the real deal. ♥ I will repost old comments in top-level threads for those that wanna continue))

copy-pasted convo with Pendragon from original post

[pasteurized]

Pendragon:

[ A.. unicorn. Saber had seen dragons, Pegasus himself, and other divine creatures. But never a unicorn. She simply looks at the screen for a moment before speaking. ]

I doubt there is armor that could be made within a short amount of time, so your best defense may be to find somewhere to stay inside if you are worried about your safety.

White Knight

The armor is for protection from airborne pathogens and microscopic machines, not battle damage. An airtight room would be sufficient.

Pendragon

..Airborne pathogens and microscopic machines? I was not aware that this was even a concern on this planet. [ A thoughtful pause. ] I apologize, but I know not of such a room.

White Knight

It's a primary concern on mine. My top priority at the moment is making sure I don't get infected with whatever surprises happen to be floating around Cybertron's atmosphere.

copypasted convo with Shepard

Shepard

[Thankfully, Shepard is still normal, but she's seen this going around.]

You too, huh? I can't make armor, but is there anything I can do to help?

White Knight

Do we have any way of isolating the source of these transformations?

Shepard

Probably that damn hole in the sky. I'll see if my resident scientist knows anything, but he's more of a biologist than a... well, whatever is going on here.

White Knight

Better than nothing. Certainly some kind of biology involved.

If you need a tissue sample, I'll provide one.

Shepard

I'll keep that in mind. Is there anything more immediate I can do for you?

White Knight

I'll need some time to better assess my situation before I can say for sure. Seems my partner's been affected, too. Need to check on his status.

copypasted with MAK- er, McCoy

[pasteurized]

McCoy

[...]

No, I need to lie down.

White Knight

I need a stiff drink.

McCoy

A unicorn drinking whisky is not something I thought I'd ever imagine or even come across in any lifetime.

White Knight

This place is full of surprises.

[laharl]

You! Are you the Unicron everyone keeps talking about?

[Video]

[noneedifsimple]

Unicorn. Mythical species that, according to legend, roamed Earth at one point. How very curious. What species were you before? Not normal I'm assuming.

[pendragon]

How inconvenient. [ Saber won't gloat, but she is definitely certain she's thankful that she will never have to worry about such issues. ]

I have noticed that you are not registered on my Link. May I have your name? I'm called Saber.

[spacerhero]

I'm on call if you need me, White. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

[adamndoctor]

I'm finding that out, day by day. But it'd be nice if, you know, things were normal for once.

... What am I even saying? Normal? [sigh]

[Action?]

[sixthdeadliest]

[And going to be flying in your direction. He's actually doing pretty well considering he's never had wings before. Must be instinct to compensate.]

[Video]

[deusexraf]

[SJKAGJG wow he doesn't even]

...are you sure you need it?

[pasteurized]

Quite. My homeworld has an unfortunate condition infecting its entire population save one.

White Knight. Hopefully when I figure out this magic thing, I'll be able to register you, too.

[pasteurized]

Much obliged, Shepard. I imagine things are going to be interesting until this wears off.

[HE HATES INTERESTING. B|]

[pasteurized]

Normal is a luxury very few of us are awarded, I've found. It's been strange enough before I woke up like this.

[He stomps a hoof.]

[video]

[pasteurized]

...What? I haven't been a unicorn until just now. And I don't plan on staying this way.

[Video]

[pasteurized]

A regular human, though I suppose I should be thankful I'm at least something from my own planet.

[Except he's not thankful at all because WHAT ARE THUMBS.]

And you are... not something I recognize. Is this your normal species, or have you been switched, too?

[Action!]

[pasteurized]

[White sidesteps a bit, looking up and giving the lupine hybrid some room to land if he needs.]

You're getting good at that, partner.

[Video]

[pasteurized]

Yes. Absolutely.

I don't know what might be lurking in this atmosphere.

[sixthdeadliest]

[The landing's a little rough but he doesn't fall flat on his nose. Go him?]

Good thing. These wings have horrible drag when running.

[pendragon]

Do you not think as a unicorn.. you would not be affected? [ Are unicorns not .. magical enough to be immune to such things? Coming from a world where magic is the normal, this seems logical to her. ]

[Video]

[deusexraf]

Nothing toxic. We'd be already dead.

[video]

[laharl]

So you're not denying that your name is Unicron?

[spacerhero]

Yeah... You might consider keeping someone around who can do things like open doors and push buttons.

[Sorry White, but the idea of you trying to push a button with your nose or open a door with your hooves it hilarious.]

[Video]

[noneedifsimple]

Normal species. Salarian. Most likely not from your universe. Curious about what you said. Unicorns existed in your world?

[pasteurized]

I don't see why. I'm still flesh and bone. Anything that could infect me as a human could infect me as a horse.

[Unicorn, Knight. B|]

[pasteurized]

Luckily it seems this body comes with some intuitive telekinesis. I can operate something precise like my comm, so doors shouldn't be an issue.
