[Considering the situation, Pete was quick to change into his costume and sneak out of Vector's temple once the oh-so-friendly Acolytes gave him a little breathing room. Probably not the best decision on his part, since the costume made it a little harder to show that neat little marking on his arm, but hey, not like he knew how important those were. You try extracting useful information from the Welcome Wagon sometime.

So, instead of ~~Puny~~ Peter Parker, Haven would be graced with the incredibly delighted ~~except not really~~ Spider-Man's presence over the network. Also, possibly a little vertigo, considering he was broadcasting from somewhere on the side of Vector's tower with the camera pointing down, far too high up for most to be even remotely comfortable staring at the ground. Then again, he wasn't too put off by heights, and he was having little difficulty standing on the side of the enormous building.]

Uh, yeah, to anybody listening? I for one do not welcome my new robotic overlords, and would like some answers. While I'm definitely grateful the welcome wagon didn't try to kill me-- thanks, by the way-- I'm a little suspicious of the fact they seemed to be expecting me in the first place.

So hey, how about a friendly game of Q & A? I ask a question, you guys stop leaving me in the dark. I'll start nice and simple, like with "I get how I got here, but why am I suddenly on the Planet Of The Giant Robots? And how do I leave?"

[Should be easy enough, right? And like everyone else, he can totally only be pleased with the answers he gets.]

I mean, I've kinda got an entire city to keep safe back home, there's not exactly a whole lot of time allotted to my schedule for intergalactic field trips.

No. The only true locals here are the First Forged and their acolytes. I was brought here from my own world, just like you.

[She's just been here for so long. Plus, she's supposed be dead so she's in no rush going back home.]

You mean someplace other than Earth?

[Then again, it wouldn't be...well, too surprising. Sure she looks human enough, but he definitely has not seen anyone walking around in that getup. Even in books.]

And wait, if you're not a local, why aren't you looking for a way to get home? Don't tell I got the discount welcoming party, and they just failed to play up the good parts...

Yes. The world I'm from is called Endiness. The first time I heard of Earth was when I first arrived here.

[She arches a brow some. This guy really has an odd way for phrasing things. She's not used to teenage sass.]

As for why I am not looking for a way to get home, let's just say I am not in a hurry to get home. Plus, I have been here long enough that I am starting to get used to it.

Endiness?

[Well, that one's sure awkward to say.]

Wait, you're so used to this place, you've gotta have some useful advice, right? I'm gonna be stuck here, I might as well learn what to keep an eye out for, right?

I have been here a bit over a year, so yes, I have grown used to it somewhat.

[She's still not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.]

The best advice I can offer you is to expect the unexpected. The Lambda and a being called Unicron tend to cause strange events.

...strange how, exactly? On a scale of "mild inconvenience" to "unbridled terror."

It goes through that whole spectrum.

[Have a frustrated sigh as Spidey here pinches the bridge of his nose at that welcome piece of news.]

Why couldn't I have just been abducted to the planet of the never-ending summer vacations...

Alright, so, any examples you could give me? Y'know, of how bad and / or annoying things can get? Just because I'm used to getting blindsided by this stuff doesn't mean I like it.

[She arches a brow. What in Soa's name is a summer vacation?]

One of the more annoying things happened just recently. There were different colored crystals that appeared all over the place and when people were exposed to them different things happened. Most of the time it affected there personality. Sometimes it was physical like getting ill or turning invisible. Thankfully it only lasted for a few days.

The most "unbridled terror" thing that happened was when monsters from the Badlands invaded Haven.

Oh good, you get monsters too. I was worried I would't have any run-ins with those here on Planet Robot.

[Sarcasm. Everywhere.]

Thanks for the heads-up though. Nice to know they're never anything convenient.

[Hard to miss all that sarcasm]

If it's any comfort, there has not been any monsters for quite a long time. And if they do appear, there are several individuals who are very capable of handling them.

[Herself included.]

They're kind of something I'm used to, so the learning curve for dealing with the local flavor shouldn't be too bad.

[Who knew Kraven and the Lizard'd actually be good for something?]
