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]

[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.]

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.

[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?

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?

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...]

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.

[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...

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.

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

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.

[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?

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.

[Wing nods] Fair enough. I have no problems with you, any from your world, or how you're made. [just saying.]

[And....going to take a guess, because of things said.] Is a bot named Deckard from your home? [Kagerou didn't say anything to make him think that, so he has no clue about Kagerou yet, but Deckard has him wondering.]

Tch, you're gonna start guessin' names anyway, huh? What'd I just say!?

[He's ACTING all dramatic but really he's just messing with Wing in his own Gunmaxy way]

Yeah, Deckard's from my place. I take it you've spoken to him already?

You didn't say I couldn't guess.

[he nods.] We've talked. He seems like a good mech.

Touche.

Damn right he is. Biggest damn boyscout you'll ever meet. Kind of a dork.

[He can't hide that he's amused. He can tell you respect him, despite the words, or at least that Gunmax must consider Deckard a friend.]

Boyscout? [Something else he's not familiar with, though he can easily guess the implications of the word. Someone really, really good.]

Oh. I guess they didn't have boyscouts on your planet. He's one of those goody two-shows hero boys with a heart of gold types.

You know what a heart is, right? Or do I have to explain that one to you?

I think I can guess that one, basically an organic version of a spark?

Yeah, more or less. I guess. I mean, I've heard it compared to a soul before, too? I don't really know what's more accurate, shit's too complicated for me.

Hm, well I won't be any help in straightening that out, perhaps we'll learn someday.
