Video [Transmission Originating from: Megatronus's Sector]

So, uhm. I suppose I should start by saying hello to everyone that just got here? Also I'm sorry the Lambda dumped you here, we... really aren't sure why it does that. Anyway...

[Fracas dips his head a little bit and taps his claws together. Now to the hard part (for him, anyway).]

Ever since that whole thing where everyone got turned into the wrong species I'm really sorry if I freaked out at any of you by the way, I've been thinking. We've been building a lot of buildings, which is good and all, especially for food storage and a place for people to live that isn't as big as the rooms in the temples, but... why not build roads?

It would make it a lot easier for humans and humanoids to get around, especially if we find transport for them, like... scooters and bicycles and stuff. They wouldn't have to ask someone for a ride unless they wanted to and they wouldn't have to walk everywhere, maybe; this place is pretty big when you're less than six feet tall. And it would be a lot easier on the tires of everyone that has them to drive on something paved. I don't know about the rest of you, but I wasn't exactly formatted for off-roading.

I-I mean, it would take a lot of work, but I think it'd help most of us. Anyway I thought it was just something to consider.

[Well it hadn't sounded terrible when he joined.]

Cybertron wasn't exactly in good shape when everyone left.

I don't know what a regular populate here would be, anyway. Considering there's organics here along with Cybertronians and robots from Earth.

[She nods, and decides not to ask more about that; how many likes to talk about how destroyed their planet is, after all?

Need a better ability to judge the situation, then.]

Well, regular as in the native cybertronians that should, or will be here. I'm not really counting us given that we don't come from this reality, and are here at the completely wrong time, since what would benefit the regular, non-Firstforged cybertronians of this reality would most probably make things easier for us as well.

That's true, but... well, what if we never get home? If we can't make a portal or the Lambda doesn't send us back. Then this is... kind of our home, too. Is what I mean.

[Much as the idea of not getting back bothers him. Even if Fracas likes it here, he belongs with other Vehicons.]

[Elita smiles, even if it's slightly worn and tired.]

There's that. [And practically, she's aware of it, which is why she is doing an effort to explore. Familiarising herself with this Cybertron, even if it is and is going to, change a lot. Make it something less than "strange".]

For now I'm going to have some hope, but yes. We might end up having to consider this Cybertron our home, even if it's not our native one.

I guess I can think of worse places to be. Though I'd rather go home too. It's... really weird being the only Vehicon.

[And it's kind of weird, talking to FirstForged. They were just legends from the Ancients, to him.]

That's true; it's easy to think of worse places. Early Earth, possibly.

[She tilts her helm at that.]

The "only Vehicon"? Gestalt group? [It's the first thing that comes to mind, really.]

Earth at all, really.

[He's not a fan.]

Gestalt...? N-no, we just. We're the bulk of the Decepticon's army. There's thousands of us in operation at any given time.

[She doesn't have the same connotations, but she would probably agree if she'd had to stay there for any length of time, so she nods.]

... You mean you all look the same, for no other reason than to create a uniform, hard-to-identify mass?

[Her optics narrow, looking over what she can; she's pretty sure that she'd be able to pick out the individual details of the individuals in any given group - in their behaviour if nothing else.

The thought is still somewhat... incomprehensible. Cybertronians, even those who share altmode, are, after all, very different from one another in looks.]

Yes. Exactly the same, actually, except for differences between automobiles and fliers; we can only really tell each other apart by individual scratches and dents.

No one else bothers with it.

[Considering they all end up dead, it would be a waste a time for anyone else... and a waste of effort on the Vehicons' part to teach them.]

That just seems... odd. [Almost wrong, somehow, the longer she thinks about it.]

Not something I'm used to seeing, or being used, really.

I get that a lot around here. It's... just how things are, back home. There's the officers and the Vehicons.

[And that's how it's always been.]

[She shakes her helm, then tilts it.]

And you're not sure if you feel comfortable being the only one? Being... individual. Or, rather, obviously so.

I'm definitely not comfortable with it. I mean, it's nice and all, but I kind of miss other Vehicons.

[He kind of misses confusing the people that scare him.]

I'd feel decidedly uncomfortable if there were a lot of others who looked precisely the same... [She chuckles slightly and taps her chin.]

I suppose it's different if you're used to it. But... were all... Vehicons like what you are now, even before the war?

[She's not going to ask about Fracas personally, she does respect personal space, whether literal or metaphorical.]

You should tell my Autobots that they should be uncomfortable about it. [He laughs a little.] They haven't been intimidated in ages.

As far as I know we were. Worker class, I think? I uh... I wasn't around, for most of that.

[Fracas showed up in time to pick his side but that's about it. It's not like he's keeping it a big secret, though.]

Well, familiarity and all that.

[She smiles briefly and then theh just shake her helm again.]

Strange idea. Nothing we had... not like that, even if, of course people were doing all sorts of things.

[Boring/simple or not.]

Yeah, there's that.

I figured. Apparently we're only from one place. And there are a lot of differences between the places everyone is from, too.

All the differences are... both interesting, intruiguing and a bit unsettling, sometimes.

[Especially the hints of at least one but probably more "flipped" mirror universes. Such a curious thing.]

Yeah. Honestly it's been pretty weird, hearing about how things have gone in other places.

[Or about the inverse Megatron, which he still can't believe.]

In the interest of curiosity; which has been the strangest thing so far?

[She grins as she asks it, interested and amused by the prospect both.]

Well, Shockwaves having apprentices is pretty weird, but... probably hearing that there's a Megatron around here that's nice.

[Clearly this is totally crazy, right?]

[She ends up laughing at that.]

I was thinking the same. And while the idea of inverse realities seem completely strange, in a way it does... make sense.

[Not in a science way or anything, just in a "why not" way because of all the other strange things that have happened.]

I guess it does. I mean, with all of the other differences we have around here... why not that, too? It'd make as much sense as, like... I don't know, Cybertronian dragons or something, right?

[Or a whole race of redshirts that work for Megatron.]

Pretty much, yes.

... Cybertronian dragons, though... [Well, she shouldn't say anything or be incredulous, given what has happened here and even in her own reality. Still, she shakes her helm a little.]

But yes, those probably exist somewhere as well.

Weird to think that there might be some of those around... hopefully none of them show up here looking for trouble.

[Given the whole 'fire-breathing man-eater' thing they're known for, and all.]
