This is awkward.

Really. Awkward.

There was much debate between myself and my curiosity, but in the end, the latter won out.

It's good to hear my central processing unit was not completely fried and this isn't all a grand hallucination. I know where I am, and how I got here - that was all filled in, and I am somewhat reluctant to confess my head is still reeling at the holes in the aforementioned explanations - and, thank Vector Sigma, still know who I am.

However, I like to think that among the many of you - us - whatever - that rained down on this planet like a bad Delphi snowstorm, there's at least one, two - Vector hoping more - of you I am familiar and acquainted with. A positive acquaintance, that is. Because if I slipped through this rift, I'm beginning to think pretty much anyone else can.

I've hesitated to mention my name, and I've an excuse aside from bad manners. That excuse is... personal. However, my voice pattern should sound familiar to those I am, er, familiar with. Though if my voice does not reveal my identity, then surely my mention of Delphi ought to.

It'd be so much easier to just give my name, but I mean, besides my own reasons - here? I think fellow "residents" probably understand why it's sort of hard to lay out any trust so quickly.

Though I'll stick my neck out enough to ask for specific names, but that's it!

Pharma? First Aid? If you're here, get back to me. Vector knows I could use a friendly(-ish) voice.

[OOC: Anyone is welcome to jump in; don't let the shout out for the two specific dudes up there make you hesitate to participate. :D]

[The name Delphi pings him. And the mech's concern causes him to lock the feed.]

Ambulon? From Delphi?

It's Drift. You...might not remember me.

[Audio/Locked]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Ah, yes, that's me, but... I can't say I know you personally. I mean, I do know of you. It's not really a secret, also given the fact we [clears throat] both decided to leave our previous parties. Yet, you have met me? ... This is getting weirder by the klik.

[Audio/Locked]

[sword_redemption]

I can imagine. [Ohhhhh, all too well. He can just imagine what the Decepticons think of him. ] Hope it's easier on you.

[Drift hesitates.] You don't remember? The Red Rust? Ratchet and Pipes and I?

[Wow. He'd sort of thought that would have made an impression or something.]

[poemssometimesrhyme]

Delphi? I've heard... rumors about that place.

Looks like we're from the same world. Greetings. My name is Sky-Byte.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

It wasn't exactly a - ah - great place, no, but things seemed to have calmed down. The winters are harsh, but - Well, given the choice between it and here, I may just prefer the old medical facility.

Erm, you can call me Crus for now. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, Skye-Byte, but I'm not sure. I'm sure, however, you understand. I mean, given the... Wait, are there even factions here?

[ooc: crus is totally latin from crura, which means "leg" kee - i imagine he's still uneasy to give out his real name]

[poemssometimesrhyme]

My friend, it appears that the only thing you retain when you come here is what you bring with you. Including factions.

I'm a neutral myself.

[organ_pharming]

[He knows that voice. First Aid and now Ambulon too? Either someone out there really likes him or utterly hates him. Depends on what Nurse Leg knows.

Better talk to him before he reveals something or worse- Ratchet tries to recruit him too.]

It seems I'm destined to recollect my entire staff. I'm flattered you've all followed me here. [Smirk]

[Video/Locked]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Contrary to Doctor Grumpy, Nurse Leg is quite thrilled to hear a familiar voice as well. Though not extremely thrilled, because it's Pharma, after all.]

Pharma! [sighs] Oh, thank Vector - When did you get here? How long have you been here? Where are you staying? What the Pit is going - [stops and collects himself] Sorry. It's all a bit overwhelming for me. I'm just... relieved to find you here. Is any other staff personnel wandering around?

[snorts] "Follow you", huh? I didn't even know you were gone. Time here's all... wobbly-wibbly or whatever.

Re: [Video/Locked]

[organ_pharming]

[If there's one thing he hasn't missed, its Ambulon's incessant questions.]

Ambulon! Would you mind getting a hold of yourself before you bury me in queries? [Grumble]

First Aid is here as well. I am currently staying at Leige's temple. I assume you also have a glyph on your arm?

[The strange magic of this place seems to be holding- no one so far can recall his part in the horrible plague on Delphi. Pharma hated mystical nonsense but he was really starting to believe he'd been granted a second chance. By whom, he wasn't sure- hopefully not something silly.]

Yes, so I've heard from the others.

[video] bc whirl doesn't need reasons.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You know. Tryin' to be all mysterious just makes it suspicious.

[Says the copter who keeps giving everyone different names.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[bless this chopper]

No matter which angle you play or how you go at it, it's going to be suspicious either way. But I figure this would be the less invasive way of communicating with - wait who are you? You're an Autobot, judging by the crest, so I guess we've got one good thing going for us both.

[VIDEO BC WHIRL]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Heh. Since when does a medic worry about being 'invasive'? Thought you were all into that sort of thing.

If you even are a medic. [He did just say he knew Pharma and First Aid. For all Whirl knows, he could be the janitor. ]

Haven't you heard? War's over, chuckles.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You talk more than Jetfire, I didn't think that was even physically possible.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

And you look like Starscream. A Starscream. That's like the pot calling the kettle black, don't you think? Except most of what you say is loaded with lies and blatant egotism leaning towards an inferiority complex.

In short, oh good, a Starscream.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

Maybe. Except for the inferiority complex thing. Unless my alternates have that particular problem.

But I'll fully admit to the lies and blatant egotism. You could just simplify that as 'Starscream is exceptionally awesome. I'm glad he's here.'

[raceme]

Hello sir-m-sterious name I Agent Blurr member of the Elite Guard a intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction or at least I WAS when I was back I'm my world I am acquainted with First Aid it's nice to meet more of his friends.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[whoa dang man you talk fast] Well, uh - Hello! I think I caught most of that. And, Blurr? I've heard of you. Though I don't think you had any association with an Elite Guard. But you're an Autobot, so that means I can trust you... to some extent.

For now, and until I can... make more sense of this place, you can call me Crus. I'm a medical physician and warden to the Delphi Medical Facility. Well, I was - the latter, that is.

[Perma-Audio]

[my_own_trope]

You're a waste of time. But let me guess: Autobot?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

You sound familiar, but I'm going to pretend I didn't have that hunch as to whom. And... I'm a medic. That's all that matters.

[ video ]

[lifepersists]

[ Ambulon! Boy, is First Aid glad to see you for once. ]

Oh! You're here!

[ Wait. ]

Oh no. This isn't good.

[ video ]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Yay!]

First Aid! Pharma mentioned you were here; so glad to... see... you... [yeah okay sulks] Yeah, this isn't good. Look - I know the last time I spoke with you, I was giving you a bit of a hard time [voice lowers] even if you deserved it [back up] but let's put that aside for now. Where are you currently located? Apparently, I'm in the temple of Nexus Prime.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[pinged, repeats aloud thoughtfully] Delphi.

You know, that caution is pretty smart.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Good to see someone understands? [he sounds a little uneasy] Delphi, yes. I'm assuming you've been there. Patient or physician? I can't really recall your voice recognition pattern.

[ Voice ] is it okay for me to backtag in? :<

[docbot]

[ Have a somewhat familiar-sounding voice coming at you. ]

Pharma and First Aid are both here, as you probably already know by now.

[ A sort of sigh that straddles the line between contentment and vague exasperation. Having more medics is nice, but if this one is also like Pharma, Ratchet might start banging dents into the walls with his helm. ]

I suppose you're another medic, then?

[audio - ratchet yay!! :D and yes of course!]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Ah, Ratchet? That is you, correct?

[pause] And, yes, I am a medic. I served under Pharma and alongside First Aid prior to my, uh, "relocation". I've heard that both you and Pharma have separate clinics, however. Which strikes me as odd, somewhat - I always believed you two to be the best of colleagues. Yet I've been informed by First Aid that you are a Ratchet from an alternate dimension; perhaps in your world, you have not met Pharma. [mumble] Or he doesn't exist. [ahem] In any case, I do hope to meet with you both at some point in time. If that's all right with you.
