 [Power Joe doesn't have a fancy introduction to his video post. Really, it's just him lying on the Cybertronian landscape outside of the Solian Temple. The lazy bum.]

Oi, what do you guys do for fun around here?

[Seriously, he's bored.]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Have you tried it?

[audio]

[kungfugeek]

Is that a serious question??

[Oh my god Ambulon his brain is breaking.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Having not known you long or seen you around much, I cannot say.

Work can be fun, you know. [Yet he still sounds deadpan]

[audio]

[kungfugeek]

Ehhhh not really. There's nothing like going out and just seeing where the day takes you, yeah?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

If you've been here long enough, I'm sure you've seen most everything by now.

[GET A JOB, LOAFER]

[audio]

[kungfugeek]

[YOUR FACE NEEDS A JOB.]

But it's a whole planet.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Most of which is uncharted, restricted, or dangerous. Not that that stops most people - just you better be prepared to come back wounded, scarred, or after you've been resurrected from the dead.

[audio]

[kungfugeek]

...You're in the Solus sector right? Medbay?

[He's coming to get you, Ambulon.]

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Yes, I'm currently offering assistance at Solus's medbay.

Are you injured? Did you do something stupid in your boredom during some point in our discussion?

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

[And PJ is standing in the doorway, making his way over.]

We're going to have fun. Right now.

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I am currently busy right now. [He's actually just dusting, but uh.] You have friends you can have fun with.

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

[NOPE.

Don't mind if he just...grabs you. Yeah, he's going to forcibly move you from this situation.]

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Congratulations, kid - it's more by instinct than actually thinking things through, but suddenly Ambulon's got his arms around you and throwing you into a neat German suplex. Whoops!]

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

[Power Joe didn't even realize it happened. With a heavy -CLANG-, he was thrust to the floor, looking up at the ceiling in bewilderment.

What...just happened?]

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Ambulon promptly stood up. Brushed himself off casually. He then turned and looked down at the very confused robot.] Are you done? Are you going to calm down now?

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

...

[Those green eyes just...look up at Ambulon.

JUST HOW?]

Where did you LEARN that?

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I may not be the most skilled warrior and I may have one of the most useless alt modes on this planet, but I do know some defensive maneuvers, thank you. [huff] They may not be much, but when you're built to carry half a combiner, the strength comes in handy, at least.

[Ambulon offers a hand] Come on.

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

[Hold the phone.

HOLD THE PHONE.]

Combiner...?

[He slowly, gingerly, takes that hand, letting himself be pulled up.]

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Correct. [Once he's up, Ambulon lets his hand go, doing a quick look over to make sure he didn't cause any damage.] You're not Cybertronian, are you? There are some lifeforms here that are like us - like me - but they're Earth born. You're one of them, right?

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

Uh..yeah.

[He watches Ambulon check him over, trying to stay as still as he can.]

Made by humans.

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[AND SUDDENLY, AMBULON IS IN YOUR FACE, with the most serious of expressions.] Not bad. [He steps away, out of your poor comfort zone.] Does this mean there's gestalt combiners in your world as well? Made by humans? Where did they get a hold of this technology? [He's not really curious so much as still scanning you for any visible injuries.]

Re: [Action]

[kungfugeek]

[Wow sir, you are very close. Don't mind if he edges away slightly.]

I couldn't tell you. All I know is that we can, and three out of four of us are already here. All four of us can make Super Build Tiger when we combine ourselves.

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Super Build Tiger? [Ah.] That's an... interesting name. [But he's not one to judge.] Who else is part of your combiner? McCrane, Kagerou...? [He trails off because uh yeah. That's all he remembers.]

[Action]

[kungfugeek]

Yeah, it's pretty cool, I'll agree!

...

Haha! Kagebird? He's off being a lone wolf. It's me, McCrane, Drill Boy, and Dumpson.

[Action]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

So Kagerou is not a combiner? Does he transform into anything? How many Earth robots are there? [Now he's a little curious.] And... Can't say I recognize the latter two names. [Though the Drill Dude sounds familiar...]
