Okay, check it out. I've got a project. This is important, so I need everyone's cooperation with this.

Someone teach me Cybertronian swear words. Some good insults. Stuff like that. I'm compiling a list. For, y'know.

Science.

[And by SCIENCE he means "actually I'm at work and just looking for ways to procrastinate on paper work" but hey]

[DUDE YOU WILL PUT AN EYE OUT WITH THOSE POINTIES]

I dunno. Ask a scientist, I'm just lookin' for ways to put off doing something productive.

[hey at least he's honest]

[video]

[knight_light]

[Only if you don't treat them right.]

[He laughs, there's the truth of it.] Well, that certainly changes things.

Insults huh? [seems like he's considering if he should humor this young bot or not.]

[video]

[badboybikerbot]

Yeah, for like if someone pisses me off real good. I can't just whip out "hey you asshole" every time. Most of these here space robots probably don't even know what assholes are, so I'm like, standing here yelling gibberish at them? Like, what's the Cybertronian equivalent of "shit"?

[this conversation is going to be really mature Wing, just you wait.]

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[just shakes his head.] Before we start swearing at each other, how about names first?

Name's Wing.

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Wing? Oh, you're definitely a plane. Unless you're the most inappropriately named pickup truck ever.

I'm Gunmax. You new here?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

You got it.

Just arrive yesterday evening actually.

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Damn, fresh out of the creepy temple, huh? Which mysterious robot demigod did you get stuck with?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Yeah, that was his feeling about the temple, thus the instant move to the Hub.] Vector Prime. You?

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Megatronus. Oh, and apparently that Liege Maximo or whatever guy's been spying on me because my little glyph thing is doing some rad color tricks.

I don't really get it, so whatever.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[have a brow going up at that. He's gonna keep an optic on you young bot, he's not really heard good things about those two. Why have they taken an interest in you?]

I intend to learn more about it. I understand the glyphs are necessary, but there's still too much I don't know.

[video]

[badboybikerbot]

[Might be due to the fact that Gunmax is an asshole half the time, but hey]

Yeah, I guess they keep us from going insane or something? That's nice and all, but I'd still rather have some control over all this.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Wing doesn't know that yet, he'll learn.]

That's what I've heard. And I can't say I disagree. I can't really complain about being here, but that still leaves the why and how unknown.

[And they've gotten so off track from talking about cussing.]

[video]

[badboybikerbot]

Oh, I can complain about bein' here. I can complain about bein' here all day! I mean, it doesn't do me any good so it's pointless, but I don't really give a crap!

[it's ok wing gunmax has something new to distract himself with]

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[smirks] Clearly. I'd love to get back home, if nothing else there's a lot back home I really should be there for...but I wouldn't be anyway, so... [shrugs]

What would you be doing if you were back home? And where is home for you? [since you don't know Cybertronian swear words, he's going to guess you're not Cybertronian. Just a guess.]

[video]

[badboybikerbot]

Pal, now you're speakin' in riddles. "I'd be there but I wouldn't be there". What kinda weird crap is that?

I'm from Earth. I was a cop. Y'know, law enforcement.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[yyyyeah, that was kind of vague, wasn't it? But you know how freakishly strange it is to think about having been dead before arrival?! Still, he manages to look a little sheepish.] Sorry. What I mean is my last memories from home were of...being killed. I can't complain about being here because it's a second chance, I'm alive again, even if I can't explain how or why.

Earth. What's Earth like?

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Oh, creepy. I know a guy like that from back home, I guess it ain't that weird around here.

Oh man, Explaining Earth to people who have never seen it always throws me off. Uh... Well it was mostly water. Let's see... humans were the dominant species? You've probably seen some around here, little fleshy guys?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

Huh. [a part of him is going "at least I'm not alone in that", and the other part is going "that's really sad"]

I think I've seen a few humans around. So do robots like yourself coexists with humans then? [imagines it'd be challenging for both peoples, one group always worried about giants stepping on them, and the other worried about stepping on tiny people...]

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

There really weren't that many of us. The humans built us for protection, more or less. To fight stuff that they couldn't handle.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Okay, now that's a surprise.] Humans built you? [How are you alive? Who sparked you? He's got more tact than that, though.] That's quite amazing...

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Pretty crafty little guys, aren't they? You don't got a problem with AIs, do you? Some of you space bots can be real jerks about it. No offense.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[AIs?! Really? Wow. He smiles.] Actually, I find that rather amazing.

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Oh, yeah? I guess we are pretty awesome, but I think I'd reserve words like "amazing" for you guys. I'm still tryin' to understand the whole spark thing.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[chuckles] I guess what is "amazing" depends on what you're used to. You said there were others here from your home? Mind if I ask who they are?

Re: [video]

[badboybikerbot]

Dunno if you'd know 'em, bein' new and all. I don't really know if they want me tossin' it around, know what I mean? Like I said, some people are weird about AIs around here. Like I don't give a shit what people think, but they might.
