[Voice, then Video]

[To organics - or, well, anyone who doesn't speak Cybertronian - the audio is filled with what sounds like garbled, shrill electronics noise, doubled back on itself in feedback several times over. To those who do speak Cybertronian . . . have a lot of harsh cursing. No . . . really harsh cursing, stuff that would make Unicron blush. That tends to happen when you've pissed of a Decepticon, or scared the ever-living slag out of him, or he's in a lot of pain. Especially if he's all three at once. Oh . . . and there's the occasional noise of rifle fire.]

[And one more curse for good measure when said startled/pained/pissed-off Decepticon realizing he's broadcasting all of this! The audio feed cuts off.]

[About an hour later, a video feed starts. Thundercracker seems to have gotten really really cosy with a wall. As in, the lower half of his left leg, his left rifle, and the tip of his left wing are embedded in it. There are several rifle shots scoring the walls, though none come quite close enough to attempt to shoot himself free - with his wing and rifle (and therefore, arm) immobilized the way they are, he just can't quite shift his other shoulder/arm enough to get the right angle. He'll switch to English. His tone is angry and frustrated, stressed with pain.]

All right, all right, I give!

Starscream . . . or . . . frag, anyone . . . some demolitions help would be great right about now.

[helpfully takes a half second to review the footage, absolutely baffled.]

...what happened?

... How did you even manage that?

What is going on?!

[Because. Things.]

... Depending on how you managed that, I'm, ah... unsure destroying the wall is a good idea.

[While he can't know Thundercracker's warped into it, that doesn't look like he just got his limbs jammed into cracks, which means something else is going on... And destroying the wall without taking into consideration how he got that way might not be the best thing.]

That...IS very familiar. [Oh yeah he got in the same mess with Starscream's clones once.] I might ^know a way to fix but Thundercracker is that you?

[Pain and irritation are clear in his tone, though not directed at Starscream.]

Someone fragging teleported me! And they missed!

[Well, okay, not completely - he's in the room he's been staying in in Alpha Trion's temple. He's just not . . . completely IN the room. At the moment, he's counting that as a BIG FAIL.]

I...!?

[Oh, right, there's two of you. This is the first time he's talked to you both at once. Sorry, he's flustered and in pain, so he's a BIT slow on the uptake . . . but he's got it now.]

I didn't! Someone fragging teleported me. And they missed!

Alright, just relax, don't struggle.

[it is an explanation that makes sense, after all--he can't imagine any other way Thundercracker could end up in that wall.]

How badly are you hurt?

[he's reviewing possibilities and the likelihood he could even help. If they're joined on a molecular level, it really doesn't seem likely. But he's not going to abandon Thundercracker. Especially not this one.]

I didn't! 'Porting is Warp's thing!

[And you probably don't know who Skywarp is. Actually . . . he's not sure he know who you are, though you kinda look like that "traitor" (to hear Starscream talk about it) Skyfire. He huffs, pulling his thoughts back together.]

Someone teleported me. Only they missed!

[Well, okay, not completely - he's in the room he's been staying in in Alpha Trion's temple. He's just not . . . completely IN the room. At the moment, he's counting that as a BIG FAIL.]

...

Well, don't do anything stupid. Destroying the wall around you might cause it to collapse on you.

Who here has the ability to teleport anyway?

[He starts to respond to the first half of that comment, but the second catches him off-guard.]

Yes. And you are?

Look, if you think you can fix this, then talk!

[Sorry . . . yeah, he's a Decepticon, but he's not usually one of the "in your face" types. He's just REALLY cranky right now.]

Are you sure? Warping usually is a personal ability, and otherwise performed by the individual opening a portal to let others through... or, as there's been discussions of another possibility; the individual possessing the teleporting skill touching the one they wish to warp with them.

[He tilts his helm, frowning as he speaks. Even if the nickname makes it somewhat less intuitive, he can assume "Warp" refers to "Skywarp, especially considering almode and colouring.]

You were alone or someone was there with you?

[This is Alpha Trion, looking at the tip of your foot sticking out from the other side of the wall.] I haven't noticed anyone present having teleportation abilities.

It seems to me your best bet would be to get them to teleport you out again, though. Who were you with when this happened?

[He draws a deep cycle of air, forcing himself to calm down. Having someone to talk to, making him think is helping a lot.]

I . . . I don't know. I can't tell if the material of the wall was displace o-or if I . . .

[Yeah, he REALLY doesn't want to put voice to that...]

((ooc: Don't know how easy/hard it is for Cybertronians to be repaired or have parts replaced here, so gonna say the wall was displaced - there's "oddly"-shaped random wall material that got dropped back where TC teleported from. XD The pain is from the surface sensors being pressed on so hard.))

No clue. I haven't even been here a week.

[He huffs, making himself think.]

I don't know if anyone else's would feel any differently or not, but it felt just like Warp's teleport. Only Warp's not here.

Thundercracker. We have a handful of engineers and about half a dozen medics. You're going to be fine. Promise.

[ordinarily he'd sound more concerned--he's trying to disguise that. There really isn't much in the way of replacement parts in this world yet (just another thing on a long list of improvements crying out to be made. Sometimes Starscream misses Bumblebee because he had that kind of minutiae in mind.

He'd never admit it.)]

Anyone said they'll come help you yet?

I am Agent Blurr member of the Elite Guard an intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction AND the first and last time I've met the Thundercracker from my world we were in the same situation and he also tried to kill me. [So yeah, he got this shit but you better be polite.]

Have YOU considered ^{the possibility} of using concentrated sonic pulses _{AT ALTERNATING} frequencies to reconnect what is binding you?

I'm sure. My wingmate Skywarp has the ability. He's taken me with him enough times to know what it feels like, and it felt exactly like that. But no, I was alone. But I can't have done it because I don't have warp engines. I have a different mod entirely.

[He just . . . stares for a moment, replaying all that a few times trying to slow it down to make it into something a little more intelligible.]

Ah . . . Blurr, right.

[He's going to just ignore the "your other self tried to kill me" bit. He shakes his head at the suggestion, looking around the room.]

No . . . trying to rattle my way free would probably just bring the ceiling down on my head. [And he gets claustrophobic enough as it is.]

[Oooooookay, and who the frag are you?]

I . . . no one. I was alone. It felt just like the ability of someone I know, but I also know he's not here.

. . . are you . . . one of the Firstforged I've been hearing about?

[He nods, but cutting out all the other possibilities considering the facts available..?]

And yet, if you were alone, there aren't many possibilities left. What were you doing, or even thinking about, before you ended up where you are now?

[Sorry, this is just . . . really disconcerting.]

Not yet, no.

[low growl of frustration]

I wasn't doing anyth-!?

[He was out by the border, thinking about heading "home", back to his berth for a rest. And now he's in his quarters. Where he'd been thinking about returning to... Cue jaw drop.]

How in the PIT!?

[He nods, mostly to himself, frown deepening.]

I take it your ability isn't at all close to warping, then, but before anything else, I'd suggest you attempt to... ah... remove yourself from the wall without having anyone take any tools to it.

[As Jetfire continues speaking, while there's a small frown, he sounds rather flat about the whole thing. Of course, this is merely because panicking won't do anything.]

Because I suspect if you try to remove the wall from around your trapped limbs, you might, er... disrupt the integrity of your limbs as well. The atoms and molecules are likely blended, especially if you weren't exact about where you accidentally warped.

[Blurr knows that not all the Decepticons are as insane as the ones he knew and he is trying to keep things peaceful.]

Sigh..FINE I can come over and try to get you out of there using my chainsaw but ^{care to tell me} how did this happen?

[If Four hadn't heard Cybertronian spoken before, he would have been sure that someone was dying. As it is, he figures by the tone that someone is in some kind of trouble.

Not that Four can be of any help whatsoever, but now would be a good chance to learn a little about their language.]

That sounded unfortunate... are you alright? What were you saying just now?
