[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.

[This is a curious transmission. From a curious fellow, with a curious manner. Altogether curious! Which of course means irresistible. Plus he needs help, so its a package deal.]

Hello Four. My name is Wing. I'm learning a great deal as I go here too, but I can try and answer your questions if you like. [He smiles]

EylittleoneIrememberyou. [Blurr smiles, giving him a quick hand wave. And who needs spaces, anyway.]

I'm B-L-U-R-R it's nice good to finally know your name and yes yes I think we are all lost in a way but most of us aren't machines we are autonomous robotic organisms and NO ONE built us that's a common misunderstanding we were born. Feelfreetoask! I am all ears.

[voice because he looks scary and you sound scared enough]

[sword_redemption]

Depends what you mean by 'lost'.

[herodecoded]

We are all lost, adrift in the sea of the cosmos.

[Dinobot now is not the time to get philosophical.]

Unless your questions have forbearance on our present situation, hold your silence.

[The image of the small being coming onto her communication device certainly gets her attention. Curiosity roused, she decides to answer after some hesitation, choosing to use video so that it could see her in return. Her voice is quite soft when she speaks, feeling shy.]

I'm lost too.

I...I can try to answer some questions though. My name is Annie.

[Most of the view is of Jetfire from the side as he's temporarily looked away from the flipped-up screen on his arm to stare thoughtfully at one of the corridors that... is obviously in Liege's fortress.

The slightly narrowed, closed off expression might seem somewhat scary, but when he looks down into the screen, there's a smile - small, but enough to change his expression almost completely - on his faceplates.]

Certainly. This must be a very unfamiliar situation to you, isn't it?

[Because he'd seen that brief flash of video.]

[my_own_trope]

What... are you?

[oh it's this guy again!]

You got yourself safe, huh, 4? I can try and help.
