[ As the video clicks on, there's a sword. A very unique sword. Decorated and exquisite, it is not any sword, but Caliburn: Golden Sword of the Victorious.

This is the sword that Saber pulled from the stone under Merlin's guidance at the age of fourteen. This is the sword that says "Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king born of England" in Fairy Letters. This is the sword that made Saber immortal and unable to be harmed. This is the sword that broke in Saber's hands in the one battle she bent the rules of morality. This is the sword that Saber treasured the most.

This is the sword that Saber, the King of Knights, currently is. A gentle humming begins as the sword glows slightly, hovering above the floor in an upright position. Saber's Link device is laying on the edge of her bed and facing the sword. With the sword humming its holy tune, text appears across the bottom of the feed. The device is translating somehow. ]

How disappointing. I was hoping to become Cybertronian if I were to also be affected. So I may learn more about you all, however..

I appear to have become Caliburn. [ The sword vibrates a bit oddly with a brighter golden glow; a sigh, perhaps? ] I, luckily, transformed in my room. I wanted to let anyone concerned know where I was in case I was needed. ..I'll be unable to help should my presence be required, but I am here to answer calls. Thank you.

[ Have no idea who this is? If you have spoken to Saber before, then her name is on your device or you will recognize her device's serial number. If not, well.. ]

However, I can understand that it would be quite an inconvenience without someone to wield you.

[ How smart this lad was! Saber was quite taking the shine to him, if you would forgive terrible puns. ] You are correct. This sword has special properties, and I am sure it remains even now. No one would be able to wield .. me properly.

[Perhaps she was worried about being unable to match soul wavelengths? If that were the case, it was quite likely that he would be able to regardless; his father had never shown any trouble wielding Weapons, no matter their personality.

Or it may have been similar to the legend surrounding Excalibur, despite most of it having been fabricated by the sword itself. If only a certain person was able to draw her, that would prove problematic.]

If you do require assistance, please let me know. While swords are not usually my weapon of choice, given your perfectly balanced design, I would be willing to attempt it.

..Ah, thank you. [ Saber is unsure if that's the proper thing to say in this situation, but she appreciates the boy's helpfulness. That seems to be quite a rare thing on this planet, all things considered. ] I'm going to hope for now that I return to my normal body soon.
