[Video -> TEXT] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: LIEGE'S FORTRESS]

[Well... okay he's never seen anything like this before. Is it like a typewriter? Because he knows how to use a typewriter. Four doesn't really understand what a "network" is, but he's determined to find out. He's been told that this will help him communicate with others, and... as frightening as that is, he really, really, really wants to talk with people.

Even the robots, who he figures can't all be bad...

Right?

He plays around with it a little, and accidentally turns on the video function. Tiny optics blink out onto the network, and he continues fiddling around with it until he manages the texting function.]

[Wait, how do you do spaces? Give him a moment, he'll figure this out.]

My name is 4.

There are a lot of machines and living things here. I have never seen anything like you before.

[There are other things that Four would prefer to talk about, but that one word catches his attention.]

You're at War? What happened?

[Oh and here he is again, having to tell the story of the war. The funny thing is, every time he tried, even with the Autobrand burning on his armor, bright and red, the story was always the same.]

Injustice happened. Injustice and neglect and desperation so that those who suffered thought they had no other answer but to lash out.
