[Well, people have probably seen him poking around, struggling to communicate. Fortunately, those translators have made things easier. He gives a small salute to the screen before speaking.]

Greetings. My name is Deckerd, current acting leader of the Brave Police from Nanamagari, Japan. Since it seems we are all in the same position, I'd like to offer to help out anyone who needs it. It's better that we all work together to figure out a way home. That said, I'll be more than glad to assist with anything. If you are injured or just need help getting something you need, please do not hesitate to ask.

[Well, when translated properly, he's extremely formal and polite.]

I am a civil servant and I find that even though this is poor situation, it does not excuse me from duty.

The more we help each other, the faster we can all get back home without leaving anyone to the wayside.

[There's a pregnant pause.]

That said, as my partner Gunmax stated earlier, I am looking for someone. If anyone has seen a young boy, around the age of ten to eleven, dark hair and goes by the name of Tomonaga Yuuta, please notify me as soon as possible. He is my charge and I am... very concerned about him.

[That's putting it lightly.]

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, I do not mind answering.

That... definitely sounded like a threat. Perhaps you should be more clear with your intentions.

[my_own_trope]

I have been clear. I was offering to help out of the kindness of my very own spark. [Harumph hmpf grumble grumble]

Now give me your technical data so I'll know what grade of fuel you use. [Snappily]

[patokichi]

... I could just tell you what grade of fuel we use.

[my_own_trope]

[Oh. Right. That.
Uh.]

If things were so simple, I would have asked that question, now wouldn't I? No, unfortunately I'll still need your stats. That way if synthesizing your fuel becomes an option, I'll be able to better tailor something for your needs. Something a little more efficient than mere gasoline.

Honestly, I don't see why you're being so shy.

[patokichi]

Hmmm.

How about we take a rain check on this? I'd like to find out a little bit more about what's happening here before I do something like that.

You make it sound like you've got something to hide...
But I can see now you're crippled by some sort of strange modesty. I won't pry. If your specs are that important to you, you can keep them.

Why don't we meet instead? Face to face.

[patokichi]

I'm very busy.

[He's not even trying anymore. You wig him out.]

[my_own_trope]

Fine. I hope you starve!
