Video [Origin in Alpha Trion's temple]

[scienderp]

[The video feed is turned on, focusing on the face of a large, white mech with a very distinctly... worried and concerned expression. Guys, guys he was just under several feet of ice guys how did this happen what is this even-]

I have learned a few things from the ah... acolytes within this temple, but I have more questions for those who have been brought here.

My name is Skyfire, is there anyone here who would recognize that name?

[He's not going to mention any names specifically, but there's a definite hopeful lift to his tone.]

I'm looking for any other Autobots there may be out there as well... Even if I do not know you now, I would still like to learn more about you. It isn't necessary of course, but... it seems only right that we all get to know each other.

[Yeah, that's a hell of a question: is he an Autobot? ]

Why? You an Autobot? [Because he doesn't see an Autobot insignia.]

[oh bby]

[scienderp]

[He moves the camera down a little more and taps the large Autobrand on his chest]

Through and through. And you are as well?

[whirlybird_of_prey]

None of your business.

[scienderp]

I see... Well you do not have to tell me if you do not wish to. It is entirely up to you.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

What's your deal? What are you some kind of fraggin' therapist?

[Been there, saw that get shot in the head.]

[scienderp]

No, this is how I act. It is only polite. I wouldn't wish to be rude to you, Autobot or not.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah? And how far's 'polite' gotten you?

[It hadn't saved his shop. Or gotten much else accomplished. Manners? That's why Whirl skips them.]

[scienderp]

It has earned me many friends, that I am thankful to have made every day I am on line.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah? And what would happen to those friends if you actually, you know, tested them?

How many of them would stick around? [Because he's got a total of: zero.]

[scienderp]

Why would I ever test them?

In any case, they have been tested before, and have already proven the depth of their friendship. I am happy and honored to call them my friends.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Yeah, well, lucky you. Lot of us have been sold out.

[scienderp]

If you would like, I would be delighted to be your friend.
