[Albert wouldn't normally bother the comm with unimportant business, but he felt the matter at hand was a little important. After all, the item dropped might be important. It was there for almost a week now so he better just ask the comm and get it over with, as edgy as some of these bots were.]

Sorry for bothering you folks, but I got a little problem here.

Anyone know a Mirage? If so, I have something for him. Or her.

[He holds up the package. Red wrapping paper with a green bow, how festive.]

And uh, merry Christmas, I guess.

[He just shuts off the feed.]

Oh, how it seemed so quickly that Christmas came and went. A darn shame, too! But, I can't complain. We had a White Christmas after all. How nice.

But look at where we are now! New Year's Eve is here already. Or at least that means something to us Earth folk; I have no idea how long a Cybertronian year is for you Autobots and Decepticons and whatever else. More importantly! New Year's! Celebration time.

This means fireworks again. I need 'em. Whoever has any, lemme know.

Later, baby!

You know, lately, when I was thinking about enjoying the freedom to make my own destiny without worrying about the bits of my past I was missing, I sort of meant to be enjoying that freedom IN MY OWN GALAXY.

However, I guess I've woken up in plenty of stranger places.

Or. At least one stranger place.

[Really, nothing could beat coming online in a ship that turned into giant robots that were fixated on one number. This was a pretty close second, though.]

I guess I've only got two questions.

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

First: Is there anyone around who's qualified to give me orders?

[Rodimus? Ultra Magnus? Whirl? What was the ranking system on the Lost Light, anyway?]

And secondly...and more importantly, is there a bar?

[He holds up an empty glass, which, given this new predicament, he knows he's going to want filled again. Tomorrow, he can start coming up with theories as to how he got here. Tonight, he doesn't want to.]
