[Guys you better brace yourselves because Four isn't holding back at ALL.]

Languages are an important part of society, whatever society that may be, and is always fascinating to study. I know that translators largely make it possible for us to communicate with each other regardless of the language we currently speak... or in my case, write. I have a large appreciation for spoken word and how words, ideas, and memories look like when written in different languages.

So what I want to know is: What language does everyone usually speak? I currently communicate in what humans call 'German', though I will switch between English and Arabic from time to time. I prefer not to use English too often though, it is not the most reliable language of the ones I know.

For Cybertronians: Are there different kinds of Cybertronian languages like there are different kinds of Earth languages? If there are, how and why do they differ?

Another couple of questions for Cybertronians:

Why do some of you have noses while others don't?

How does gender work for your kind?

How do you see while you are transformed?

Look I made a smile!

[There's a peculiar clicking sound, like bits of metal clinking against metal, and a short bit of scraping. Not really any other sounds for the time being, save for the occasional pause in the clinking.

Then, a longer pause, and-]

You know, when I started up today, the thing at the very top of my list of priorities was not, in fact 'waking up in an alternate dimension in the middle of no where'. Actually I'm pretty sure it was test Block Beta part C for ten hours. This is not Block Beta part C.

That block has a lot more health code violations in it.

[The female voice is low and casual, very relaxed and possessing an informative tone. The clinking is back, before there's the sound of the communicator being scraped across the floor.]

Nevertheless, I'm prepared to make due with what I have. Here's to hoping that whenever I go back, everything isn't a white hot smouldering radioactive crater. Though if it is, it would certainly teach Block Alpha part B not to keep trying to cut the wires all the time. For the brief, fleeting moment that they're not completely atomized.

I don't suppose any of you happen to have a map of the area. I'd go and map it out myself but... well, I have other things I need to do. That and I'm not in any hurry to randomly wander out into the wild and get eaten by robot bears or whatever happens to be the local fauna of this particular planet. I'm sure you understand.

[The video stars up fairly fuzzy, and though Miko is there she is mostly discernible as a fleshy colored shape with some black and pink shapes that are too accurate not to be her hair on to. Like wise the audio is unclear and tends to have dead air.]

I...

... misak...


... too fa...

[The whole thing dissolves into snow, static sound included before the video returns, sharp and clear, as well as full audio.]

I don't know how to get back from here. Can someone help me?

[Unfortunately the good signal doesn't last and the video fades a bit again and the audio begins to skip a bit once more.]

...atchet, Wheelja...

... sorr...

...etting lost.

((OOC Note, anyone can respond and search for Miko, but Wheeljack will be the one to find her. She will be able to do some responding but like the post itself, the quality will vary at times. Thanks for understanding <3.))
