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.

...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.]

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.]

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

[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?

That's thoughtful of you.

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?

[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!]

Do you feel superior Starscream?

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

I am superior.

If I went into detail about it, we'd be here forever.

Yeah I was kinda indisposed at the time. [And still is. Being tentacled is pretty un-fun.]

[Shruggity shrug.] What the frag do I care about some stupid bar?

[No mouth.]

Sounds like quite the undertaking.

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.

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.

[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.

Fast as you can go, Maverick.

[Shrug.]

Well. Sounds like some weird shit. Must be a Tuesday. Yeah, I'll bite. I'm willing to try anything once, these days.

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.

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.

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.

It's all right. I'm just grateful I had company. I wasn't expecting such monsters out there. I'm not sure I would have managed alone.

It might also be a good idea for me to learn other languages. The Link is helpful, but if we didn't have it, things would be much more complicated.

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.

Indisposed? That's a shame. Sounds like you missed all the action then. [Oh if he only knew.]

Are you saying to never partake then?

[Have a straw? A Funnel?]

If that's true why aren't there people lining up for joyrides?

I think we've had that conversation before. Are you sure you want to repeat it?

Are you sure? Between the speed and maneuverability I'm capable of, the g-forces I can pull can be pretty strong.

[Oh, he's taking that as a challenge though!]

I confess that I don't understand it either. But Korra is a good soul and has been willing to help in the past. So I can only hope that she can help you.

Depending on your specs and ability to isolate an area to perform limited transformation, minimum retooling would be necessary. Otherwise, I'd say there would need to be greater change to accomodate the sort of lateral change to your frame that you want to make, if you want to keep it as it is...

[He shrugs, frowning not really at their conversation, and more at whatever he's looking at.]

But I would certainly be amenable to try... And, if it would necessesary, consult Solus Prime on the matter as well. [A small helmshake as he finally focuses back on the actual screen and Wing.] Preliminary calculations would suggest it's possible, but I'd need more data before anything else.

[Ergo, your specs and system capabilities, and how far you could push your transformation ability to do limited changes.]

It's good that you did not go alone. Even without the monsters...that place. I confess I would not have wanted to be alone while trying to endure...such darkness.

You and I both. Japanese seems to be a little more common than English.
