re_alignment | [Video] [Transmitting from outside Haven]

[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.

Lay it on me, Wing. Seriously. Do your worst. I have always wanted to ride in a jet.

Well, thank you for the help. I'll drop her a line and see what we can work out.

[She pauses, frowning slightly, and a hand comes up to her face. She looks like maybe she has a headache or something because she stares off into space for a minute before seeming to shake it off.]

I guess I should get that whole party thing underway soon.

Trust me, this is why I'm gathering data. I knew you want to push limits.

[Makes a note to set the warning tolerances comparatively low so Vandal can bargain upwards.]

I just want you to be healthy and happy...

Vandal...? [But oh...he's not sure he likes that.] Vandal? [He waves a hand in front of the screen, concerned, suddenly wishing that he was closer to Haven.]

A party is good and all but...are you sure you're feeling alright?

Wow, I feel really special now.

[She shakes her head, blinking, rubbing her eyes and seeming distant now, though.]

I just- I'm fine.

I have.. I have to build it I-

Just. Tired, that's all. Head is playing tricks on me.

[She smiles, suddenly completely 'there' again.]

Well you are, aren't you?

[You've got him really worried now. He's not sure what's normal for humans, but this doesn't seem like this is it.]

Build? Build a what?

Look--I don't know if 'fine' for you is the same as it is for Drift, but if that's the case then I want you to tell me what's wrong.

...Please?

Pff. Compared to some of you guys? Not at all!

Just... a new table. For my sweet digs.

And seriously, Wing. Don't worry. Just a headache.

[Have a winning smile. You're not worried now, are you?]

It's a matter of perspective. I know lots of Cybertronians. I don't know many humans, much less call them friend. I think that makes you pretty special.

A table? [He's just peering at you.] Well, alright. But it'd like to see you when I get back? I'm a horrible worrier you know.

[He peers again] You sure you shouldn't see a medic?

Well I guess you're just real sweet, then.

Sure, sure. But seriously, I'm okay.

[A laugh.]

Knock it off! I probably just need to eat something. Cool your jets, jet.

[There's the sound of something between a chuckle and a giggle.] Well I--thank you.

Well...If you're certain. [He's still gonna worry, and check on you when he gets back. Because he's stubborn like that.]
