[Video] [Transmitting from outside Haven]

[winged_knight]

[Wing appears over the link, the signal grainy and flickering. He's looking weary from the long trip back from the Badlands but with the barest hint of Prima's light in sight now, his relief is obvious. He can't wait to be home--that's he's starting to consider it home is a bit of revelation in and of itself--and touching the Link is the first part of that.]

Greetings all. We're safely on our way back from the Badlands, fear not. Now that I have Link access again I a few bits of business I'd like to attend to.

First off, know that phase one of the Rec Station is nearly complete. We'll bring you more details in the next few days!

Secondly, I seek some assistance from our medics, or anyone else that might be knowledgeable in the related areas. Let me explain.

The current configuration of my Cybertronian frame does not allow me to carry passengers. It simply wasn't necessary or useful previous to this. But now that there are more humanoids here I wish to be of better aid in this regard, which requires that I have a true cockpit that meets safety specs. _{And maybe a stereo system.}

[He's run into this convenience multiple times since arriving, time to do something about it! Plus he might have made a few promises to people...]

I don't wish to change my altmode or my frame entirely--[he cants his head as his thoughts side track] though I suppose minor upgrades could be considered if they were easy to do in the process [then a head shake as he pulls himself back to the primary topic.]--but I realize that our medics may not have the necessary equipment or resources to accomplish what I need entirely their own. So I plan to petition Solus for aid soon on the matter.

However...

Of equal importance is the safety of the passenger. So I also need data on the safety specifications and tolerances for transporting humans and other humanoid species: speed, altitude, temperature, air density and pressure, g-forces, and other relevant statistics. Given this data I will adapt all my flight protocols to take the safety of a passenger into account.

Any aid people could give me would with this be greatly appreciated.

[He seems pretty serious about this, not to mention eager.]

Thirdly, a few messages for folks I won't bore the rest of you with.


Vandal... am I correct in understanding that your wound is still not fully healed? I think my friend Korra may be able to do something about that and I'd like to introduce you two.


Korra, I have another human friend, Vandal, who was badly injured sometime ago. Natural healing for humans is rather slow from what I can tell. I know you can heal flesh with water bending? Is there anything you can do for her? I'd like to introduce you two if you are willing.

[notyourblueangel]

...I might know a few things about human tolerances and requirements.

[He knows the specs his Earth-alt was designed to mimic, anyway. Why he's offering to help, he's not entirely sure, so he's just...not questioning that right now.]

[Voice | Locked]

[winged_knight]

If you'd be willing to share the data you have, I'd be grateful.

[Flyer camaraderie perhaps. Making allies in a strange place is always a benefit.]

I don't think we've met yet, call me Wing. You've recently arrived?

[Voice --> Video | Locked]

[notyourblueangel]

[After a moment's hesitation . . . what the Pit, he'll switch to video. The other mech will accept or not.]

I did. Just a few days ago. My designation is Thundercracker.

[Video]...i am so sorry

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Bad news. A giant mecha lizard came and stomped the rec station flat while you were gone.

I renamed it the Wreck Station. _{you're welcome}

[Of course, Whirl is lying his pointy aft off.]

[Video] NGL I laughed myself out of the room!

[winged_knight]

[There's a moment of stillness as Wing is overtaken by a very peculiar expression of mingled shock and horror...and he bursts out laughing because it's just impossible not to.]

But Whirl! I thought the Wreckers were supposed to neutralize external threats! [Unless said mecha lizard was marked by, say, Megatronus, and then he wouldn't blame for saying 'All you Blurr.']

Honestly, how could you let it destroy the only bar on the entire planet! [TRAGEDY!]

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

Well, look at that. A Decepticon is capable of something the peace-loving-hippy isn't.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Do you feel superior Starscream?

You should add it to your list of things that makes you superior. One thing equals a list, right?

[vandalization]

[Look at that she's started taking her helmet off to talk to you.]

Finally gonna give me that jet ride when you get that taken care of, huh?

[She grins.]

And... yeah. It's hard to ghet shit to heal here when I don't exactly have a hospital to go to for human beings. Mmm... Korra? What could she do for me?

[winged_knight]

[He'll just be a touch flattered by that.]

Indeed I will! I have to know how fast I can take you.

[He grins back, a gleem in his optics.]

Yes I imagine so. Korra knows water bending, which can apparently be used to heal humans. I don't know many details unfortunately. But I've asked her to contact me as well, so hopefully we can work something out.

[ex_dishonestly997]

That's thoughtful of you.

[winged_knight]

I try to help where I can. What's started as an inconvenience has become more than a bit frustrating. Plus I promised Vandal a tour of local Cybertron.

And I said it earlier, but I'll say it again. It's good to have you back Starscream. I'm glad the Badlands didn't take another from us, and one who was so well missed.

[percept]

Sounds like quite the undertaking.

audio

[winged_knight]

It is, but I've grown rather tired of not having the option. Not just for the convenience factor but...it's both novel and nice to have friends to which I can offer sharing the experience of flight. I wish I could share it with more really.

But that's why I need the data. I often push my limits, but I know mine are much higher than an organics will be.

AUDIO;

[elkmobile]

Ah, good! I was able to understand that now.

The Link's definitely improved. I'm... sorry about the language issue. I wasn't expecting that.

AUDIO;

[winged_knight]

Yes, I'm sorry, I should have considered the language barrier issue before we left. There might have been a way to overcome it with better resources.

But such is life. We managed well enough, thank you for your patience.

[Video]

[angleofscience]

While I don't necessarily possess any outside equipment or resources, it might be possible to do those changes and upgrades with what we have on hand plus your own internal resources and transformation capability.

[Jetfire's frowning thoughtfully, glancing slightly off to the side of the screen... either using the screen itself, or his HUD to look at something else.]

I'm well-versed in frame engineering and upgrades, so if nothing else, I can offer my assistance. If we can use what's on hand, though, you would indeed still need the data you want regarding safety measures for humans...

I... ah, haven't spent enough time on Earth or around humans to know all the necessary parameters.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Do you think so? I definitely prefer a minimum of change made to my actual systems--my frame overall is fairly unique--though adequate space for a cockpit will need to made.

voice;

[thxforthememories]

You went out there, too...?

Did all of you come back safely?

voice;

[winged_knight]

Yes. Ashitaka needed help and...with everything that's happened, I wanted to be at Drift's side.

We're nearly back, and yes, no one was lost. In fact, we came back with an extra.

[organ_pharming]

[Oh look, its Wing. And he needs medical help. Good.]

Get your mods designed and I can easily install them.

[winged_knight]

[Oh goodness, it's Pharma. Long time no--talk. You are such a helper!]

Can you? So you think it's that easy an undertaking? You seem quite confident.

[automobile_enthusiast]

Oooh, an alt-mode overhaul? I don't suppose you've got any takers yet? I haven't had to do one of those in quite some time!

Video DAT FACE ~<3

[winged_knight]

[Well there's a face he's barely seen in recent weeks]

Knock Out! It's been a while. I...hope you're well? [He knows it's a sketchy question, but with Breakdown's arrival Wing is hoping the answer is more positive than not.]

Yes something like. I realize what I want done is a touch complicated which is why I wasn't certain how to proceed. Jetfire and I have discussed it a bit, but I'd love to hear your suggestions if you have some.

[not_halfbaked]

Vandal?! We met once a little, she wanted to see Naga--

Yeah, I'll see her, should I come to you, or you to me--where are you guys?

[winged_knight]

She lives in a trailer out in the junk pile. She's not with me currently, but perhaps we could setup a meeting?
