[voice only]

[There's a looong moment of silence between the transmission's start and Knock Out actually beginning to speak. And when he finally does, his voice is very even.]

Has... anyone seen Breakdown lately? Or heard from him, perhaps? Big blue and silver mech, grounder like me, prominent chassis... He has a striking red-orange face and a patch over one optic.

[And he's missing. KO doesn't like that. He also doesn't like that he woke up in the middle of nowhere outside of the Haven, alone, and missing time, but he's not exactly about to go sharing that publicly. In fact, he doesn't sound nearly as agitated as he actually is right now, because that's something else he's trying not to be public about.]

Starscream and who?

Jetfire. Mostly white paintjob really big LOVES science things also technically an autobot...ring any bell?

Mm, I'm afraid I don't know him. He's partners with... Starscream?

...Which one?

It's a long complicated story They were friends before the war.

One that look similar to the Starscream that's with me but he does call himself a 'con and he's less patient. [TOO many Starscreams in one place, if you ask Blurr.]

Mm, I think I know the one you're talking about.

[Knock Out shrugs, the sound faintly audible over the transmission.] But no, we're not like, ah, Starscream and Jetfire, then. We met after the war started.

Ahthatactuallyexplainsalotofthings...since it's not that usual for an Autobot to be so that close to a Decepticon now SOME even might think it's wrong [Testing the waters here, since Blurr seems to chill with Starscream awful a lot, recently. He knows Sentinel would not approve.]

Well, we are on opposite sides of the war, aren't we? I don't know if it's the same where you come from, but in my, ah, universe, it's treason to fraternize too closely with the enemy.

[KO is... being a bit deliberately obtuse, by now. He's either realized or remembered that Blurr doesn't know which side he fights for, and he kind of wants to see how long it's going to take Blurr to realize the truth.]

Yes I remember I WILL never forget that...but this is not our universe isn't it? And two opposite force can't stop fighting if they don't sit and talk about what make them opposites and how to fix their problems.

[Damn it, you.]

Mm, I can't deny that~. Granted, I don't know that any arrangement we come to here is going to have any impact on the wars where we came from.

But I don't know either but I see little point on fighting here.

On that, I have to agree with you.

Glad to know someone does. IF you were friends with Breakdown before the war and now that you are here together _what did you do during the conflict? Try to avoid him?

[Okay, the charade is starting to annoy Knock Out.]

I think you're misunderstanding me, my friend~. We met after the war started. During the conflict. When he became my partner.

...

[oh.

Oh.

Oh.]

I see.

I'd wondered when you might~.

You _could have told me sooner and WHY is your alt mode a car?

You could have asked.

[He laughs.] Because I think wheels flatter my chassis. What can I say~?

You have a car alt mode. [As if that explains everything.] And you are short for a de-cep-ti-con.

[He just ~~pouts~~ huffs, mild irritated.] You are a really strange mech.

You say that like I haven't heard it ten thousand times-- and from mechs bigger and scarier than you. [KO doesn't sound impressed.] My alt mode is my choice, and I've happily made it.

[He laughs again.] I think you'll find that I'm really one of a kind~.

[Blurr can't help it, the Decepticons in his world are fraging giant towers.] wellifitmakesyouhappywhoIamtojudge. [But he's still annoyed so.../judging you.]

[Blurr sighs.] Go figure..I should have expected anything less here.
