[VIDEO | Solus Prime's temple]

[cec_engineer]

I wish I could say being transported to another universe was the strangest thing that's happened to me.

[Despite his initial comment being fairly light hearted, Isaac is frowning.]

Assuming these robots haven't been loaded with the wrong data, I'm supposed to believe I'm on a planet called Cybertron? Can't say I've heard of it before.

[Sigh] At least I'm... safe now. I assume these robots have some sort of defense function - God knows I could use a break.

Anyway, the original broadcast of this video was to see whether I'm alone or not. Spending the rest of my natural life with these mechs isn't really my idea of retirement.

It's nice to see another human being here. Misery sure does love company.

But those drones - the acolytes - they're tellin' the truth. You've been tossed here by some malevolent entity via a cross-dimensional tear in time and space onto a planet called Cybertron ruled by robots - Cybertronians, specifically. It ain't a picnic, but you aren't alone, at least. Not that there's many of us.

That's the condensed version. You'll find adventures await you here on this vast paradise.

Still. Nice to have you aboard. I'm the one and only resident human doctor, Leonard McCoy, and you'd be...?

Damn right it does.

It's... preferable to where I was before. Almost. I suppose a load of whiny robots is better than... [cough cough trail off and change the subject cough]

Isaac Clarke, engineer. If you ever need help fixing up your medical equipment, I can give it a try. Or shooting things in the face, I've gotten very good at that recently.

Ya sound like a man after my own heart, Isaac. And, yeah - got some stuff you could look over. We're short on supplies, instruments, and proper medical machinery, as you probably could guess, so anything that I can use to keep my patients from falling apart or dying I'll take.

You'll get used to the Cybertronians. Some of 'em ain't so bad. Though they've got a few bad apples - but that goes without sayin' for any group or species. Still, wish they'd be a little more wary and compliant with their smaller, fragile neighbors. [huff]

I'd love to give it a try; though I'll need to learn my way around this new tech first. [He shrugs] Hopefully with the right pointers it shouldn't be too hard to grasp, and saving lives is certainly the right motivation.

Honestly? I'm not surprised. Aliens with superiority complexes is a trope that I've seen in way too many movies, and given their technological advancement and the whole robot thing, I'd be shocked more shocked if they didn't all act like uptight assholes.

[Forgive his brashness, he's starting to get tired(er). Not to mention the Cybertronians he's met so far haven't let the greatest first impression with him]

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Can't help ya with the alien tech here. You might wanna ask one of the Cybertronian doctors. Red Alert will probably be happy to give you some lessons, too.

Ha! [And he does give a loud 'ha'] "Aliens with superiority complexes" - best way to describe Vulcans. For a moment, I forgot we were talkin' about these big metal guys, there. Suppose that name doesn't ring a bell, does it?

[Hey, if Blurr knows what klingons are, there's a chance Isaac might know vulcans.]

[cec_engineer]

I had asked one of them - Knock Out - but after talking to him a bit more it's clear I rushed into asking too quickly. I have no doubt he's skilled, but... shit, I don't know what it is about him. Do you know him?

It doesn't, sorry. [The memories of the last year have been stuck in a straight jacket and interrogated non-stop oops]

Re: [video]

[adamndoctor]

Ah, Knock Out. [He smirks] He ain't a bad doctor - with his kind, I guess - but he ain't someone I'd go to first for any medical advice. He's got a big of an ego, you see, among other things.

Re: [video]

[cec_engineer]

He strikes me as the type who's more likely to experiment on you than pay attention to whatever the Cybetronian Hippocratic oath is.

[there's a shrug] At least he's not my only option for learning my way around here. I was genuinely worried for an hour or so.

Re: [video]

[adamndoctor]

I've not seen him carry out any mad experiments yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. Think ya nailed it, in fact. And, ha - [he laughs] I never did ask if these guys had a Hippocratic Oath of any sort. Remind me to ping Red about that.

Swing by Solus's medbay once in a while. I'm sure I'll have you understanding the basic workings of the tricorder in no time. [Cause he assumes you know basic first aid... right?]

Re: [video]

[cec_engineer]

God, I hope so. I'll, uh. Steer clear of a bad influence.

[i assume so because he can use the medkits in-game] Solus... that's the glyph I have! The medbay is gonna be in this temple, then?

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Bingo. There's a couple clinics scattered around here, but I work out of the one here at Solus's temple. So... [Here, coordinates!] Feel free to stop be, give the place a look. You're probably not very far.
