[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.]

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?

Mech by the name of Wheeljack. Mechanic, though seems obsessed with his role as a Wrecker. May not be your best first choice. I'm aware of Skyfire and Perceptor's roles as scientists, but couldn't tell you how much they'd know about your Earth tech. And just how many Skyfires and Perceptors are on this fragging planet. Ratchet's human companions may know a thing or two. That's all I got.
