001; video.

[The camera cuts in on Mike, hands on the wheel and foot on the gas. It's kind of loud in here, too! Which, if you look at the merrily neon-green holo-speedometer, is because he's coasting along at 250 miles per gatdamn hour.]

Okay, so half an hour into total barren wasteland and the Duke pulling some wacko "Mike Chilton versus Aliens on the Moon" prank is looking way less likely. Which means I ammmmm... on another planet, talking to whoever's on the other end of this Link thing.

Right. I have no idea how I managed to fall through dimensions in the middle of the night. That is... kind of a new one for me. Anybody out there in radioland want to give me some layman's term answers? The welcoming party here was kind of chilly.

I really hope you guys have gas here. Getting Mutt here down the mountain was kinda rough drivi--

[He cuts off mid-sentence, having just blasted the car right over the top of one of the spires of rock jutting out of the ground.]

[Where does she even begin to start with you, mister. Speeding...reckless driving...]

NO TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING!!

[Or that.]

[WELL THAT WASN'T REALLY WHAT HE EXPECTED TO BE CALLED ON]

Dude, it's handsfree! Swear!

You left a party cold?! Now that's just rude, you could've at least tossed them a blanket!

[Thanks to recent drama, anything even remotely involving parties gets him a little stirred up. Oops.]

[He laughs, but it's not patronizing.] Not that literal. Don't worry, everybody's warm, little guy...?

[Mike doesn't want to ask what he is, that is rood. He's just going to figure adorable robot.]

Great!

Or you took some really bad hallucinogens. [Whirl has a point.]

Or maybe really good ones.

Nooot really my thing.

'Sides. With some of the stuff that happens to me every week? Me taking drugs is probably less likely than being on another planet.

Some planet called Cybertron. If no one tipped you off, there's a lot of robots here.

We're not talking the kind of robots that want to laser me to death, right?

[The video shows a man leaning against the side of a red tractor trailer.]

Only thing I know is that we're all stuck here together. Pretty crazy, no? Whole alien planet and all.

Yeah, crazy's the word for it.

Well, we got here, right? There's gotta be some way home.

Hmm, good luck on gas. It's a rarity here. Had to change up my own engines for one that could burn energon.

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. And if I'm going to do anything around here, I'm definitely going to need my car.

How's it run on this energon stuff?

Photobucket

[Oh, look, squishy in a four-wheeler trying to catch some air.]

Heh . . . careful there, groundpounder. Those things aren't built to fly.

Should I be offended about 'groundpounder'?

still voice for now; Is that like permafrost? 8D /shot

For what it's worth, I only understand it so much, either. [the whole falling-through-dimensions thing]

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one clueless. I just wish someone could tell me something more solid.

I'd consider taking your vehicle to one of the local engineers. See if they can fit it with energon-based fuel. Gas is, as you've come to find, something of a rare commodity here. Until then, try not to drive off any cliffs; I'm still trying to figure out what human bones are, and would hate to have my limited skills tested on putting one back together so soon.

No promises on the cliff thing.

Refitting the engine sounds like a good idea if I'm going to be here any longer than like, a day. She's kind of a gas guzzler. [He pats the dash with a hand.] Who should I ask around for?

[Ooh.

Mm, I do hope your fine vehicle survived that fall.

Mutt's tough. It'd take a lot more than that to even dent.
