[video] And then there's this loser

[Some people, upon discovering they'd been magically uprooted from wherever they were and mysteriously transported to a weird almost-but-not-quite Cybertron against their will, would probably be angry. At the very least they might be annoyed, maybe a little frustrated or panicked. This guy seems to be the exception. He looks a bit puzzled, sure, but he also looks MAYBE a little too calm and cheerful for someone in his position.

Oh, the video's recording! Excellent. He claps his hands together in that 'let's get down to business' sort of way.]

Oookay, from what I understand so far, it's probably safe to assume that you're all pretty used to confused new people popping up from time to time. I think I'm caught up on the basics, so I hope to avoid the whole panicking stage. Actually, everything I've heard so far is pretty fascinating. Just, you know, a little jarring. I have a few theories, but... well, I'll save them for when I have a better idea of what to expect here. The Acolyte I spoke to didn't give me too much information to work with. Well wait... okay, that's not true. I mean, it was pretty informative over all, but there isn't really a whole lot I can do with what they told me other than accept it. I don't like to complain, but it wasn't really all that helpful in a day-to-day life sort of sense.

So! Um. Anyway, my name is Drift. If anyone happens to have any helpful tips for a new arrival, I'd love to hear them. And... I think that's all I've got! Thanks for your time.

I'll keep that in mind. What have they done?

They've let monsters run free.

One called Overlord. One called Tarn. Another called Kaon. They were all allowed to kill and maim us as they liked.

Because Megatronus freed them.

[whoa whoa baaaaack up]

Wait. They're here?

[WOW Tarn and Kaon huh. Suddenly ANNOUNCING HIS PRESENCE TO THE ENTIRE PLANET seems like a REALLY BAD IDEA. But Overlord. Yeeeah he'd kind of just seen Overlord. Y'know. On that one ship. like yesterday.]

Not any longer.

[There's a beat. He doesn't know what happened to them after but... they'd been very quiet. After--]

We killed them.

[oooh thank god okay CRISIS AVERTED]

Them. You guys killed them. I am officially impressed.

When was this, though? My timelines are a little... off.

Not all at once.

... Overlord was a long time ago. The others were months ago.

[He pauses.]

They worry you.

[oh piss is he that obvious]

Well it's just that... I mean, they should worry anyone. You yourself described them as monsters, you've seen what they're capable of, I'm sure. I've fought Overlord before, I can only assume how bad the other two would have been.
