[Video -> Text] [Transmission Originating From: Outside Haven]

[The video comes on for a brief moment, showing a static-laden image of a helmet that looks rather similar to a shogun warrior’s, in purple with yellow accents and bright yellow optics. His chin tilts down slightly, the sound of pistons whirring off-screen. Eventually the image cuts off in favor of text.]

I hope this message gets through. I am Noisy Boy. I do not know how many of you might recall me, or how long it might have been, and I have some inquiries to make. First, I am looking for a bot named Midas. He is eight-foot-two inches, with gold plating and a red fiberoptic Mohawk. He is extremely abrasive and uses text like I do, so he will likely be easy to pick out.

My second inquiry is a request to speak to anyone with experience in either programming or upgrading. I will require alterations if I am to survive on this planet.

My final inquiry is for pick-up. I am uncertain as to where I am at the moment.

NOISY~!!!!

[Noisy Boy should be able to recognize the voice and face of the happy teen girl in the video, though her hair has grown out a bit and the color is starting to show less pink.]

Your back!! I can see if Bulkhead can come get you, if you need me too.

[She'd know the sound of those pistons anywhere.]

Noisy boy? You're back?

Man have you missed out on a lot!

...?

...!

NOYSYBOYWELCOMEBACKIMSOGLADTOSEEYOUAGAINWHEREYOUAHVEBEEEN?MidasleftsometimesagoimsorryDoyouneedmetogopickyouup?

Haven't seen Midas around in a long time.

...You have someone for pickup?

[Because Drift is, in fact, that idiot who would sneak out of medibay to help.]

Miko. It is good to see you once again. It would seem I have been gone for longer than I believed.

[He does recognize her, but he also notices her hair. Geeze, what did he miss even?]

If you could? I believe my navigation systems are malfunctioning at the moment.

[Also he's dented and missing paint, but that can come later.]

I am, Kay. I take it I have been gone some time.

What has happened that I need to know?

[alsdjdflsjf Blurr, too fast!]

I apologize, Blurr, but might you be able to repeat that more slowly?

That is unfortunate. I hope he is still functional.

[Not. That Noisy Boy misses him or anything.]

Miko offered to have Bulkhead pick me up. Drift, it is good to see you, but have you been injured?

[Because he remembers the medibay very well.]

....sure. Maybe he is.

[Drift knows better. You spend enough time in the badlands, you know what happens out there. But that's not a great thought to share. See? He's learning tact!]

Oh, good. [Oh frag. Means Drift's stuck here with no good excuse to sneak out. ]

I, uh, yeah. There was a little incident. But everything's good now. You know. All good.

[Look at how good he is!]

We both vanished into the Badlands, correct?

[He sends the text burst without preamble. Yeah, he knows what the Badlands mean. That doesn't mean he's going to give up on the other boxing bot. Even if Midas is an arrogant jerk to him.]

If he is occupied, should I let you know?

[... Drift :|]

How 'little' was this incident you mention?

I think so. I don't really know for sure. I mean, if we knew someone was heading out there--like that--we'd try to stop him.

[Well, Drift would try to stop them, at any rate.]

Yes. I'll come get you if you need it.

Just....don't tell Wing.

[SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It is a secret.]

Uh. [Shifty eyes.]

Little enough that I'm okay now?

Sometimes you cannot stop things. No matter how much you would wish to. Given that he and I both vanished and I have reappeared...

[It seems like an easy conclusion to draw, to him.]

Drift. Would Wing be upset if you picked me up? That does not seem like something he would do if you were not injured right now.

[Noisy Boy is not that naive. He totally sees through you, brobot.]

I know. Believe me.

[He's tired of failing to stop bad things from happening, honestly.] Maybe we should keep an optic out for Midas.

[One way or the other, right?]

[....drat.] I'm not that injured. It's just, well, Wing worries about nothing a lot.

I mean, he was trying to put me in stasis cuffs out there.

[HAHAH it's funny now. Kind of. A little bit.]

It is a difficult thing to accept, even if you know.

[He just didn't have much choice in learning to accept it.] It would not hurt to do so.

Why was he attempting to put you in stasis cuffs? What happened while I was absent?

[What have you people been doing without him here D:?]

Yes. Exactly.

[He wishes he could stab it. It would help. Maybe.]

Right. As soon as I can, I'll start looking out. Just in case.

[Cough cough ahem. ]

Uh. He thought I was going to freak out and wander off and not come back. Some stuff happened. Mechs without glyphs came out of the badlands.

...they weren't themselves.

It would seem I have missed a great deal, then. [More importantly, a great deal that Drift seems to not want to tell him, which means it's probably bad.] That is unfortunate.

However, it was my understanding that the majority of what comes out of the Badlands are monsters.

[Which tends to be what bots without glyphs are, really.]

Heh, yeah, you've been gone a while... but your back now, that is the important thing, yeah?

[She absently brushes her now too long bangs out of her face, trying to get them to stay behind her ear.]

Sure thing, can you tell me what parts of Haven, if any, you can see? I'll have to be able to let Bulkhead know which way to go, or else we are just going to have to search areas until we find you.

It is the important thing. Still, I am sorry that I have missed so much.

[He pauses for a while as he turns in a circle, trying to find something he recognizes... ah. There.]

I can see the light from Prima's temple from here, but it is far off. I believe it is the closest temple to me, currently.

You have no idea how much I missed you, big guy! Can't say I've seen Midas around, though. He disappeared about the same time you did.

Uhm...wow, where do I start? Well for one, GIANT CENTIPEDES. Like, the robot kind.

[GOTTA GO FAST]

Oh...OH>SorryNoisy!

[>text too]

I'm glad to see you again Noisy Boy. Where ahve you been? Midas is not here anymore, I'm sorry.

[Yeah there's probably something nice and suave and consoling to say right about now. But this is Drift so he has no idea what that might be. ]

....good to have you back, though.

[Close? Maybe?]

There have been some here with glyphs who are also monsters.

[Tarn he is thinking of you so hard.]

I pray he did not attempt to follow me, where ever I happened to go.

[... wait.]

Giant robot centipedes?

It is all right.

I am uncertain where I have been. I can only assume that I have been away. It is unfortunate that Midas is absent, however. I hope he is all right.

[He also hopes no one ever mentions this if he comes back.]

I do not remember leaving, but I am glad to be back. Thank you, Drift.

[Very close. Noisy Boy is just glad to hear from people he calls friends, really. It means not everything has changed.]

Do I need to be concerned about them?

[Is something horrible going to happen?]

He...might've. You know...rivals and all.

[You two had a history.]

YEP. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!!

It has been some time, Noisy Boy.

[But from his small smile, he is happy to see you...and is glad to note that you've got offers to come pick you up.]

I was simply an old League bot to him. That is all.

[Or an old failure, one of those.]

It has gotten worse than that here?

Edited 2013-08-12 15:28 (UTC)

McCrane. It is good to see you again.

[If text could convene warmth...]

I have heard I have been absent for some time. I hope that things have been all right?

It's alright, not like you meant for it to happen.

Prima's huh? Well that helps some, we will probably start with going directly out from the temple and get looking from there if we don't find you along the way.

[She smiles like it's very little concern.]

We'll get you.

Don't write yourself off like that, Noisy! You're totally cool.

Don't worry, we'll have all the catching up to do when you get back here, okay? Do you need help with that?

I can get Kagerou if needed.

I did not. Would that I knew why I left in the first place.

I shall wait where I am for you and Bulkhead. Thank you, for coming to get me.

I do not. I am a Tak Mashido original. Midas sees me as an old League bot, however. He made his opinion clear.

[Of course Midas was a dirty Underground bot with no rules so it evens out.]

Miko has offered to bring Bulkhead to pick me up. I do not believe I have met Kagerou before.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Apparently he doesn't know a Tack Machine-o bot when he sees one.

OH! Good to hear you've got help then! You'll have to meet him sometime, he's like my dad.

You don't remember? Usually those who leave sometimes say they were back in their home world.

You still have a glyph?

It would be nice to know that... maybe then we could keep others from leaving.

[She seems a little downcast at that statement but perks back up after a moment.]

Of course, Noisy, no way I would leave you out there.

((OOC: I think we can just assume that the rescue happens?))
