re_alignment | [Audio/Video] Totally not compensating for anything, nope.

Absolute glitchin' slag.

[There's more insults than those being muttered over the audio, but they're kept at a lower pitch, and the noises of metal or other items being thrown around obscures some of it.]

One of these days I'm actually gonna get to stay put an' where the slag--- [Either the speaker just stumbled over something, or yanked something out of a pile.] Finally! Ugh. Okay.

[And then have video and a red cybertronian with sensor horns leaning against... a very large cannon (or is he just that small?).]

Any of you find a large sniper rifle calibrated for someone my height before I do, I'd appreciate if you ask me if it's mine.

[Because that thing was made for him, so. And while sniper rifles aren't his favourite weapon, he's picked up the talent and he came here with it... as his found cannon can testify. Cliffjumper grunts and drags a hand down his faceplates.]

Got the basics, blah blah, besides that what is the situation? An' for the information, apparently even TransTech, who proclaimed themselves quite above the rest of us, can't make proper stellar span.... er, space bridges.

[He's not going to assume anyone he knows... from either two dimensions or Axiom Nexus is here. And the real kicker? He has the vaguest impression he sort of bounced briefly into the negative polarity universe before coming here, but he's not sure and that, along with his missing weapons, is just torqueing him off.]

... Ya know, I think I'd be more inclined to believe that if you didn't sound like that.

[He may not be too awesome with picking up things, but he'd be processor-fried if he didn't pick up on this; Soundwave is way too honest generally for it not to be noticed when he'd lying.]

... Yeah, I am. Not sure if I should be relieved or torqued off that... uh, well, you probably don't even remember me bein' gone, but I kinda got yanked away to another fraggin' dimension for a while...

[He crosses his arms and growls, seen or not.]

Either way, I didn't think I'd be sent back to you guys but I was... and then just ended up here.

[TOO MANY CYBERTRONS NEEDING HELP, PRIMUS DAMN IT.]

L-look, there's just-- I don't wanna say right now. Not like this, dude. Not in th' open.

Uh? Well... I know I ended up in th' Axiom Nexus place. Dunno if that sounds familiar to you. Eh-heh.

But I ended up here, too. Not that long ago.

[Okay, he can definitely understand that reluctance. He grimaces a bit and shakes his helm, even if it's only to himself.]

Okay, sure. Just say if you want help, though, an' I want an explanation at some point.

[Not getting out of that, and if Soundwave does need help...]

... Yeah, that place. [Sorry, he has to take a moment to mutter on a lower pitch.] But yeah, besides all that, I'm fine. Things ain't bad, ya know?

[They weren't even, at that, even if he'd wondered during the whole Nexus Prime/Galvatron incident.]

Well. I'm at th' medbay they've set up. Guess stop by if you want a sec with me, bud.

[There's only so long he can keep a secret anyway. He's always been terribly poor with them.]

That's good. I mean, that things ain't bad. But, uh... this place. It's ... rougher. Obviously. 'Least stuff in Axiom, you could buy if you needed Not that I was terribly fond of gettin' experimented on, but ...

Anyhow, yeah.

I can definitely do that. Where is that, anyway?

Hey, ain't heard anything about fuel shortage... I'll take "rough but plenty of fuel an' shelter" above bein' experimented on.

[Then a near-obligatory pause and a scowl on Cliffjumper's end.]

... Unless an' until things get worse than that...

[And, you know, Soundwave, considering you seem to be hurt... is it still better or worse than Axiom?]

I'll send you a location, dude. No problemo.

[There's a pause. Yeah, he'd like to agree with that.]

Well... ain't my place t'say.

Right, comin' over when I got this settled, unless I can't find the rifle soon... I'll just go back an' look later.

[So many pauses here. Cliffjumper frown at the way that's... worded.]

'Cause it shouldn't get out, or you been here too short a time to tell?

Sure thing, dude. Works for me.

Ah, well. I'll... explain better later, I guess.
