[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'd heard about The Hub, but I didn't realize people lived there. I think my room at the temple will be fine for now, though. I get a feeling I'd have more privacy there.

Yes and no? There people who stay at the Hub just as there are people who stay at the temples. But your room would be your own, either place.

Just that it's an option.

Anyway, if there's anything I can help with, I can usually be found at the Police Headquarters in Prima's sector, or out on patrol. Either way, I'm reachable via the Link.

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind. Do you work with Prowl, by chance?

[beeeecause he heard Prowl was here from some other guy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand yeaaaah]

I . . . work with "a" Prowl, yes.

[Being Japanese, Deckard's not going to say something negative about his coworker. Certainly not without reasonably provocation. But . . . he's NOT an actor, and the wince is visible on his face. He doesn't like Prowl. In much the same way he didn't like Azuma, actually.]

[wince noted, but Drift isn't going to comment on it. A lot of people feel wincy about Prowl. ~~Apparently wincy isn't a word but you know what I do what I want~~]

Right, the whole alternate timeline thing. I suppose I'll have to confirm he's even the Prowl I know before I do anything else.

Probably best, though there seem to be several from his reality here, so it's likely you and he are from the same as well.

In any case, for what it's worth, Drift . . . welcome to Haven.

Anything's possible. I'll figure that out when I get to it.

Thank you, Deckard. I appreciate you going out of your way to talk to me.

[He grins and shakes his head.]

It's not out of my way at all. I consider it part of my job. I had people reach out to me when I first arrived, and I know how helpful that was.

Even so, I'm grateful. This is a lot to take in all at once.

[He chuckles.]

That it is.

Take care, Drift.

Thanks. You as well.
