1st point [video]

Whaaaat? I didn't get any of what that guy said!

What is going on here? Why am I not at home?

Oh and if any of the other Brave Police are here... I'm apparent in some kind of temple for a Nexus Prime guy.

[... Simple but... accurate. Jetfire realises as the silence lengthens and Drill Boy stares at him that apparently nothing had been understood--]

Ah... yes. At its most basic, that's exactly what it is. It's a fair but more nuanced than that, of course, as there's more than one reality this is an alternate of, but... er. Yes.

[He kept from wincing at the simpleness of the understanding, but at least he wouldn't have to explain again?]

And I believe some of those you know are here, yes.

Basic is good enough. The others are better at the braniac stuff, especially Boss. I like to just do things and get them taken care of.

[Don't worry Jetfire, he does actually have a full processor, he just chooses not to use it most of the time.]

That's great~!

... Most people do, yes.

[Understandable for the most part, but it was all so interesting, so why anyone would prefer the basic stuff, he's not sure.]

Mm, let's see... I'm sure most will be clear on its own, but I recommend not venturing too far outside of the temples alone since the Link - which is what we're using the communicate - doesn't work over larger distances away from the Haven.

[As they've had some proof of.]

Oh... I will have to remember that. Does it work underground?

As some of the structures that are around are underground, yes it does. It more seems to be an issue of distance away from the central "circle" the Haven makes. There are at the moment seven... hmn, temples with associated surrounding areas in the Haven, arranged like a circle around the central pile of... well, garbage, which is more or less directly underneath the Lamdba which we enter this reality from.

[Jetfire frowns slightly as he speaks, not exactly focusing on Drill Boy as he brings up the files of his own internal "map" of the area in a more "aware of it" way than what he usually uses when he's actively flying and using it.]

Oh, that's good. I don't want to have to dig only to find out I can't hear from anyone.

Oh, I thought of a question. There was one guy already who said I died and went to hell... if this is an alternate dimension is that right or wrong?

[At that question, Jetfire frowns and takes a brief moment to flick through the replies and... well. That was expected. He shook his helm as he focused back on Drill Boy.]

It's very doubtful this is any sort of... hell, as Starscream said. He likes to exaggerate and I'm rather sure the majority, if not all of us, were perfectly alive prior to arriving here.

Alternate dimension or not, I'd surmise that's not true... [Jetfire then cocks his helm momentarily before he lets a static sigh out.]

And use some discretion when listening to Starscream. As I said, he likes to exaggerate and it's usually a good idea not to take him at face value.

So I won't know when he is telling the truth?

That can be a problem if he ever needs to call for help.

[The concerned detective is concerned about that.]

[Aw, that's sort of adorable. Jetfire chuckles and shakes his helm.]

If he actually needs help, it'd be obvious, you don't need to worry about that. Besides that, however, there might be some issues, yes... At least without knowing what to look for.

[And unfortunately, Drill Boy, you don't have or haven't had the time needed to learn exactly that.]<7small>

Hmmm well, so long as people can tell if he needs help, I will just have to be careful about anything else he says.

[He seems to be relieved that he will be able to know if Starscream needs help.]

Somewhat unfortunately, that's how he works, yes. Either way, it's good that we could set it straight... It would be unfortunate if you'd belaboured under a misunderstanding, though I think your companions would have explained things in the end?

Thank you for helping me with that. I'm sure the others would have explained things, but now I don't have to ask them questions that, had they been real, might have been anywhere from uncomfortable to hurtful.

[He smiles and shakes his helm.]

Certainly. While I can't catch all the impossible things Starscream attempts to convince others of, I can minimise the damage when I do. Especially if they would have been unpleasant questions for your friends.

Do you always have to try to help people know when he's telling them things that might not be true?

[That sounds like it could be an awfully big job to Drill Boy.]

I can't see everything he does, and he is responsible for his own actions... But I try, nonetheless, to mitigate his effects when I can.

[It is indeed a very large task, and not one he could feasibly do... But he tries where he can.]

You are a very good person for doing what you can to minimize the effect when he does tell stories.

Ah... [He chuckles quietly but can't keep from shaking his helm, optics briefly wandering away.] I suppose so, but I don't think doing that makes me a good person... I simply know him.

[And has some level of influence over the prickly, egoistical Seeker.]

You could just leave the whole thing alone, but that isn't a very nice thing to do, so I still think you are nice for doing it.

[Simple reasoning is not uncommon for Drill Boy, but he is content that way.]

That is, however, true. [He smiles and shakes his helm again.]

Well, I should perhaps let you go reunite properly with your friends that already are here, yes?

Okay, yeah, some of them are here. Thank you again, I hope we can talk again later!
