[Video] ...What IS gasoline? What's it made of? [Locked to Gunmax/Deckerd/McCrane/Brave Police]

[not_halfbaked]

 In my world, I know it can make Satomobiles or cars and Satocycles and mopeds move...but that's it.

I never thought about what makes it up.

So...what's inside it?

And, huh, where does gas normally come from anyway?  I think it has to be put into vehicles, right?  So then it must come from somewhere else...?

Not really, but... yes...?

Ugh, I can't explain it! I'm the wrong guy to talk about this sort of thing. Sorry, Korra; I'll let Deckerd and McCrane get technical with you.

[not_halfbaked]

No prob, I'm not that technical either--Slipstream was trying to explain flight to me and it went way over my head!

Thanks for the assist!

Actually, have you guys found any gas by now?

[engrishdetective]

Eh, whatever. Not like I was able to get far in explaining anyway.

We found a little bit more, but... [He isn't interested in worrying Korra, but if they don't get more soon, they may not last long.] Mm, no big deal. We'll figure it out.

[not_halfbaked]

Hmmm....where'd you find it?

[engrishdetective]

Here and there in the junkpiles. Nothing special, I'm afraid.

[not_halfbaked]

Can you guys only use gas? Can you use something else?

I think Slipstream was saying they didn't need gas per se, but they could use it too? Like, they could use more than one fuel?

[engrishdetective]

...Well, I guess technically McCrane could use diesel, but I think that's gonna be even harder to find.

I know some of the other Cybertronians mentioned energon. I have no idea what that is or if we could even use it.

[not_halfbaked]

Energon, huh? Straight and to the point name there.

Have you asked them more about it? Like if you guys can, uh, eat it too?

[engrishdetective]

Hadn't crossed my mind. Honestly, if it's a foreign substance, I'm a bit concerned what would happen, but if push comes to shove, we might not have room to argue.

[not_halfbaked]

Maybe they could make it so nothing bad or weird would happen if you had to eat Energon?

But you're probably right, better to still keep looking for gas before looking at other stuff.

[engrishdetective]

Not sure.

Maybe, but we might also have to consider alternatives. I might have to just suck it up and ask around about energon.

[not_halfbaked]

[Korra smiles softly, kinda sad, remembering Tenzin.]

It's really hard asking others for help.

...Though, you and a lot of people have really stepped up when I was asking around for water. Thanks, again.

[Her smile becomes happier.]

[engrishdetective]

It's not easy for me to.

Well, I wasn't about to not help you out. You needed it.
