[After a failed attempt at going outside, Teddie appears on the feed trying to look as calm and cool as possible despite being SCARED OUT OF HIS MIND.

There was not enough NOPE in the world.]

It's come to my attention that it's incredibly scary outside. But not to worry, seeing as I'm a generous bear, anyone who wants to hide--TAKE SHELTER under my watchful eye can come and keep me company in my room. Where it isn't so scary and whydidIhavetowakeup.

[That last part sounded like he was on the verge of crying. Thankfully he caught it himself and clears his throat, continuing his confident charade.]

If you somehow get hurt on the way, that's okay! I can make you all better again. ...Bearvided you're not missing any limbs or something. Or even better, you could come get me and I can hide with you!

Heheheh...heh...I wanna go home.

[So on a scale of bad ideas from bad to Whirl, this is pretty much a Wheeljack on his part. Albert knows this and he doesn't want to worry anyone so he'll try to make his plea as quick as possible. Best to keep himself off the video feeds for now.]

This is going to seem like a weird request, but bear with me for a moment.

I need you guys to look out for something...

[A moment of silence for his lost hand. And also for his inability to really reach out to people. This is revving up social awkward levels to an eleven.]

So if you you see...a hand, human-shaped, metal, could you tell me? Thanks.

[And he flips it off just as quickly. Even though his damaged arm was mostly machinery, it still hurt pretty bad. He didn't SEE them eat his hand, so maybe there was hope it could get reattached...]

[The video turns on as Drill Boy is in the middle of something, a nearby explosion that would be familiar to the Brave Police coming over the feed. Drill Boy is down to only his spiked soccer balls and only a couple of those, the explosion having come from his last charged ball.]

This is Drill Boy, requesting back up!

[Even as he speaks he continues fighting, the video eventually showing the group of three monsters that he is facing off against. Instead of keeping to his soccer balls Drill Boy pulls out his revolver, a couple shots landing solidly in one of the monsters and taking it down. Unfortunately there is only one of him and still two more of them, one takes advantage of this and while he is aiming at the other it lunges for Drill Boy's other arm, it's massive pincers digging into the Brave Police's under protected arm.]

Ahhhhh

[Suddenly the video goes dark and no noise can be heard, but a data package with Drill Boy's coordinates is attached just before the whole transmission shuts off.]

(OOC: Characters are free to respond, Drill Boy will talk once he is in hiding from the monsters or saved. McCrane is already set to rescue him.)

[It's pretty hard to tell, at first, what this video is even showing. For the most part, it just looks like someone flinging their Link around like a bad Found Footage horror movie. There's flashes of red armor, a lot of angry cursing, and some angry, metallic chattering.]

[Huh, looks like someone's fighting against one of the centipedes and...]

[... Oh. It's Ironhide.]

[For a few split seconds, he's visible, actually riding on the back of one huge centipede monster. Cowboy style. He's stopped cursing, instead looking ridiculously pleased with the entire situation for as long as he's on screen.]

...

[The feed cuts out for a good while after that, before resuming. The body of the centipede is in the background, broken and oozing fluids, while the big red 'bot appears to be dusting himself off. Battered and dented, but seemingly not all that worse for his impromptu adventure.]

Heh.

That all they've got?
