[The feed flickers on, which shows nothing at first. Oddly enough, it’s the inside of the altar room ov Vector Prime. Maybe someone had left their--

But there’s a flash of orange eyes. They only flicker in the feed for a fleeting moment. In another flicker, there’s something peering down into the device, a nose prodding it. It looks to be a a dog of a robotic nature.]

A communication device… [The dog’s eyes brighten and fade with every word and he lifts a red paw up to reposition the object.]

Calling Brave Police, this is Shadowmaru. [He lifts his head, ears alert as he hears something off in the distance. Thankfully it was one of the acolytes. The BP Unit relaxes.]

I am low on fuel. I’m not quite sure if this place even has fuel, but. I’ll try my best for the time being.

If anyone else can hear this, I will try my best to send my coordinates. I read other signatures here, but I’m not familiar with any of them. [His head perks up again, orange optics wary.]

Again, this is Shadowmaru, calling for the Brave Police. If anyone could give me their location, it would be appreciated.

[He then races off screen, the device jostling before shutting off.]

[Why is everyone suddenly showing up? Not that Power Joe's upset about this but...WHERE WERE YOU ALL WHEN SHIT WAS GOING DOWN UGGGHHH.]

Oi! You can't just say you'll give coordinates and then race off! That defeats the purpose, idiot!

[Oh yeah, he's happy to see you too.]

Re: [Audio]

[loborobo]

[Oh, that's a voice he didn't think he'd hear. But he keeps running through the temple, exploring as he talks.]

You know me. I never stay in one place. [A pause.]

Did you wake up here too, Power Joe?

[Audio]

[kungfugeek]

Yeah, it's really annoying.

[Like your butt.]

So stop that.

...and yeah...a long, long time ago. About a year...

[Have a very different - and very big - looking robot over here, Shadowmaru.]

Brave Police...? There are several of them here, yes.

Re: [Video]

[loborobo]

[Those orange optics blink.]

Not just Kung Fu Geek? [That's actually reassuring.]

And... who might you be? [Another sentient robot?]

[raceme]

Shadowmaru...? [Oh, Blurr knows that name.] Kagerou never mentioned that you were a dog..

I know there Brave police members and where they can be found, however if you are low on fuel the _{best option would be bringing} you to the medbay so one of the medics can fix your engine quickly.

[loborobo]

[HOLD UP.

He hears that name. That name sends a small shiver through his frame. How did this robot... A small growl vibrates within his chest.]

How do you know that name?!

[thxforthememories]

[There's a sudden, sharp clattering sound, as the stack of datapads he was carrying fall abruptly to the floor.]

[No.]

[No, it can't be. He's hallucinating. This is another trick. Another malfunction. It's just stress and fatigue and guilt. Like that day at the lake...]

[But what if it isn't?]

[He forgets McCrane's admonishment to use video. He forgets what he was doing in Trion's library. He ends up sinking down to sit against a bookshelf, staring at his Link.]

[It can't be.]

Sh... Shadowmaru?

Re: audio;

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru pauses as he looks down at his device.

That voice. It couldn't be him. It couldn't be. His limbs tense as he glares down at his Link. If he could, he would be frowning so tightly. His wings twitch irritatedly.]

Is this another copy speaking? [He snaps at the device.] One proclaiming to be him? I thought none of Shinjo's creations had survived.

audio - im so, so sorry

[letmefixyou]

Fuel? I have fuel!

[he's not lying! but... it's energon. so.]

[loborobo]

You have fuel, hm?

[He pauses. Uh huh.]

And who might you be?

[video]

[badboybikerbot]

[so there's this smarmy motherfucker all grinning at you what do]

Yo, pup. I was wondering when you'd decide to join the party.

Re: [video]

[loborobo]

[gdi, Gunmax.

He rolls his optics and huffs.]

How many times do I have to tell all of you? I'm a wolf.

[deadlydoctor]

Most of them can be found either in the Police headquarters or my clinic, depends on how many stupid things they did that day.

Are you from Ravage's world?

[loborobo]

Stupid things? Like what?

...I don't recall ever meeting a Ravage.

[heartdive]

Nice to meet you Shadowmaru!

Re: video;

[loborobo]

[Well, here's someone who is pretty welcoming. He tilts his head.]

And who might you be, little one?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

Shadowmaru!?

Maru, it's Deckard. Which temple are you at? I'm heading out to meet you.

Re: [Video]

[loborobo]

Deckerd.

[More relief washes into his voice as he sees and hears him. There were more of his teammates here. He didn't expect this many.]

Vector Prime, I believe these acolytes called it.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Cassetticon? [Sorry, but you make him think of Ravage.]

Brave Police, huh? Friend of McCrane's, I take it?

Re: [Video]

[loborobo]

No. Shadowmaru.

[He perks up and nods.]

That is correct. Is he here as well?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Your best bet to find fuel is at the pantry, where everything is stocked and organized. or a medbay.

Re: [audio]

[loborobo]

The pantry? Where can I find that?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

There is some fuel to be found here. But your best bet is to have one of the medics convert your engine to run on Energon.

Re: [Video]

[loborobo]

That's what I've been hearing.

[SIGH.]

So I've just gotta ask one of these medics, and they'll do it?
