[The feed opens to Crow T Robot, standing in what looks like Nexu's quadrant. He carries only his VCR and his videotape. Clearing his throat, Crow tries to make himself look professional as possible.]

Hello, you may have or hopefully not have heard of Tarn. Boy, who would've figured he had a history?

Anyhow, as you may know, I have always remained unaffiliated in anyway with Tarn or people named Tarn or any similarities to the name. However, there are some who might disagree.

That is why I am going on the lam. Some of you might say this proves my guilt, but I respond with the inspiring words of Rutherford B Hayes: "It is only justice that has the courage to run away."

And so, I am doing the right thing and running away to an American embassy on Cybertron. I'm sure they have them here...I mean, America has embassies EVERYWHERE.

Anyhow, so long from the completely innocent and unaccountable Crow.

...heeeey, that could work! Yeah, pull the Manchurian Candidate defense!

Thanks, cherry bot!

[deadlydoctor]

It's a classic.

The name's Knock Out, yellow C3Po wannabe...guy.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Hey don't compare me to that tin-plated Liberace. I'm way cooler than him.

[deadlydoctor]

Really. Prove it then, Goldfinger.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Uh for one thing I'm not fifty percent codpiece.

[deadlydoctor]

That sure sounds like an advantage.

Are you hiding now, then? Tarn won't take betrayal nicely once he's free again.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

It's not betrayal! Don't use the b word!

But yeah, I'm totally hiding.

[deadlydoctor]

Let's go by 'reevaluating your life choices'.

Good idea.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Or 'expanding my market'.

I'm just full of good ideas.

[deadlydoctor]

That's another way to put it.

Do share.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

I figure Cybertron needs a film festival! And the headliner will be my long-awaited classic 'Earth Vs Soup'.

Now I just money...and a camera...and a crew...and money.

[deadlydoctor]

I never heard of that one, thankfully, but more movies definitely wouldn't hurt. We need a theater.

You are a funny one. Right now you could film the robot remake version of The Fugitive.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Better get on that, huh?

[Sure, he'd normally respond with a quip, but the first thing that hits his mind is.]

--oh thank god, someone gets pop culture here.

[deadlydoctor]

I'm not made for construction, so sorry. But I guess I coudl talk people into it.

There's so few of us who do, it's a shame.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Use your connects, then?

Especially when you're just throwing out gold and no one's catching it.

[deadlydoctor]

Maybe I will. Bulkhead already plans on building proper roads.

There's nothing more heartbreaking than missed sarcasm.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Yeah, specially when you're giving out prime material.

You know you're pretty nice...and strangely handsome...in a heterosexual way.

[deadlydoctor]

Exactly.

[You are lucky that Knock Out has seen enough movies to know what are you talking about. Sexuality and gender roles aren't exaclty familiars to Cybertronian's. he smirks.]

What can I say, I try to live up to my name. It's Knock Out, by the way.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Well that's definitely an appealing name. At least you weren't named Thunderbucket or Steeltramper.

[deadlydoctor]

Why, thanks. No, that woudl be unfortunate. And you are.......?

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Crow T Robot! At your disservice!

[deadlydoctor]

A pleasure, Crow. Good luck with your hiding from the Police.
