WATER [Open to all players!]

(OOC: Let me know if I'm doing this wrong--like, if this is the incorrect format for this re-aligned comm or something, I know there's more than one, and I'm sorta a little confused on which is for which? Anyway, here goes....)

Is this thing on?

[Korra lightly bangs at something, frowning--the screen shakes. She gives a big exaggerated sigh, then continues.]

Okay, I heard there were some other humans like me out here, so given that, I wanted to ask if any of you guys have found water? Like, any water at all, a pool, a river, even a freakin' flask of it? And y'know, same question to anyone, Cybertronians or spirits or whatever--have you seen water?

[Korra blinked, then added in a rush.]

And in case there's anyone who doesn't realize, water's a big deal for humans like me, we need it to survive.

[Korra moves to turn off the screen.]

Okay, that's it, hopefully someone gets in touch with me about this--

[Korra stretched too far or too fast, because she flinches, irritating the wound on her back. No way is she going to ask aloud for medical help. If she can find water, she can heal herself, thank you very much. But then the thought occurred to her--if there were other humans like her, were there like any other healers among them? What if there...weren't? A panicked expression suddenly flashes across Korra's face.]

Um, actually, quick head count--are there any human healers out there that can, y'know, heal...humans?

[Korra's expression distinctly reads without words, 'That sounded lame.']

Well, I'll, uh, raise my head first--or is it hand--?

[Korra shakes her head, raises a hand.]

Whatever, I can heal as long as I have water--it's a bending thing--uh, and that's a thing where I manipulate the water to like do whatever I want including heal the human body. So if there's a human out there who's hurt and has water or can find water, you can come to me for help.

[Korra paused, trying to think of anything else to add. She slowly shrugged.]

Okay, that's definitely it now...so, um, bye, hope to see someone with info on water soon.

[End transmission.]

No, I can't say I have. There's not a lot of network chatter and I'm not exactly up for recon currently.

[He shrugs.] Doesn't make much sense to me either, I'll admit. It goes... quiet, but it's never. I don't know how anyone could be foolish enough to think otherwise.

[Korra silently agrees--Knock Out doesn't look in good shape for recon at all.]

I can help you with recon, though. It'd be just identifying Autobots and Decepticons for you, right?

[Korra fails at hiding distress. That...that just sounds really depressing to her. Was the 100 year war in her world's history ever like that?]

Well, it'd certainly help to know just how many allies I happen to have. [and enemies.] Although perhaps I shouldn't count them as allies if they're from, ah.... other worlds.

[He still looks subdued, pensive. The war's not exactly an easy thing for him to contemplate either.]

Still, at least you'd know they're out there, and they can go into the 'maybe' pile or something.

[Korra notices his quiet, seems kinda sad to her. She tries to distract him a little by starting to tick off her fingers.]

Okay, so far, on the Decepticons' side:

3 Starscreams and Slipstream.

And the Autobots:

Optimus Prime; Drift; Wing; Ratchet; Wheeljack; and Blurr.

Not sure about these guys:

Swindle.

Definitely not 'Bot or 'Con:

Gunmax, Deckerd, and McCrane. They're from another earth, so I think they'd be pretty neutral.

So I'll keep an eye out for more and try to keep you up to date, okay?

[It works. Good girl, Korra.]

Scrap, three Starscreams?! Primus, one of them is more than enough. [He frowns thoughtfully.] I don't suppose you know anything more about them?

Ah, you'll want to add my partner Breakdown to that list of yours. And what's this about neutrals?

I've been trying to figure them out too. I think one knows Slipstream, but I don't think the other two do. And one-- [Korra blows a frustrated breath.]

Okay, Starscream A: the Starscream I think Slipstream knows. And he has more magenta armor. Slipstream said her Starscream doesn't get along with this Megatron guy. He's at Megatronus Prime's temple, same as me. Slipstream also said he was Air Commander.

Starscream B: more red armor, looks blockier than you, and he lives at Megtronus' temple too. He's the only one that actually talked about Megatron though, when I mentioned him. Really didn't seem to like the guy.

Starscream C: Didn't see his face, just heard his voice. [Korra frowns, a weird sense of deja vu coming over her.] Actually, his voice sounded sorta familiar...growling like...I don't know, someone I know, but can't pinpoint right now. [OOC: *cough* Amon *cough*] I don't know where he's staying at though. Said he was Air Commander.

Did that ring any bells?

Ah, the 'neutrals' are--well, they're robots who aren't Cybertronian, though they sorta resemble you guys. But they need gas instead--have you seen any gas? But they were born on Earth. Not my Earth though, a different one.

You have a partner? And you found him here? That's great news! [Korra's smile becomes slightly strained, as she remembers Naga back home.]

[Despite the obliging effort on her part, Knock Out can only shake his head.] Can't say the first two sound anything like the one I'm acquainted with. And as for the third... [He shrugs.] Hard to say, on a squi-- on a human's account of his voice alone.

[He'll have to do a little investigating himself at some point.]

Hmm. So they're... they're Earthbuilt sentient 'bots, then? I didn't know humans had gotten that far! [And he hadn't known humans could manipulate the elements. And Wing obviously wasn't from the same iteration of reality that he was. He spreads his hands.] Well, where I come from they hadn't, anyway. Obviously that's not the case, ah, everywhere. Interesting.

[Sorry Korra, Knock Out's still too overwhelmed by the miracle of finding Breakdown alive to notice your own touch of unhappiness. He smiles.] You have no idea.

Actually, got to talk to the third one more, and I think he definitely implied that he knew you.

[Korra nods.] Yeah, the closest we have to those on my world are mech tanks, and they can't think or feel for themselves at all, people just pilot them.

[Korra's relieved Knock Out doesn't notice her distress, she's getting tired of revealing her vulnerability.]

So, okay if I ask what he's like?

...Did he? [Knock Out's expression is very carefully neutral. If Starscream's here, that's... that's going to complicate things.] Well now. Isn't that...interesting~?

Mm. Sadly, that's often the case when it comes to organic attempts to with mechanics-- inert, non-sapient things. Vehicles to be piloted and very rarely more. It's a bit of a shame, really.

[He laughs lightly.] He's big~ Big and broad and strong, and very handsome, if I do say so myself.

Slipstream said her Starscream was Air Commander, and this one said the same. Are you a part of his unit or something? Ever work together?

But that other earth...I wonder if my world will eventually have real robots that can feel and think, too? That'd be much nicer than the mech tanks....

[Grins. Thinks of Bolin.]

Sounds like a friend of mine back home.

Part of his unit? [Knock Out scoffs.] Not me. I'm a doctor, not some frontline flying grunt. He was my superior officer for a time, but... [He shrugs and grins.] Was.

Well, that will depend on how well your people do with AI, won't it?

[He chuckles.] Oh? If he's anything like my Breakdown, you'll want to hold on to him, my dear~.

Did you guys leave on good terms, though? Like, is he someone you could count on, if you had to? [Korra remembers part of what started this was trying to help the 'Con get an idea of possible allies.]

[Korra wants to ask another question, like what's 'AI?'--but she could get how question after question could tire people out, such as that other magenta Starscream.]

[Korra blushes very hard. Oh, did Knock Out just stumble into something really awkward. She coughs a little too loudly.]

Oh, um, thanks, Knock Out, I'll--I'll have to keep that in mind next time I see him. [She glances away, still blushing. Oh so awkward.] But I dunno, I think I'm probably just gonna swear off on guy-holding....

Mn. I'd have to, ah, talk to him, I think~.

[In other words, almost definitely not, but he's not about to start discussing inter-Decepticon politics and power-play with you, Korra, no matter how much he likes you.]

[So instead he grins, and his chuckle this time is knowing.] Oh~? It never hurts to have a partner, you know.

I don't need--okay, on second thought, back-up against Tarrlok would've been nice. Though we did try to get a team together, and that didn't work out either....

Mm, see? That's why you need one-- that one person you can trust to support you when no one else does.

Easier said than done--how do you find a person like that? Not like I can put up a 'wanted' ad for someone like that in the paper.

Ah, now that I'm afraid I can't help you with.

Thanks for the advice though.

Any time, my friend~.
