[VIDEO] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: JUNKPILE]

[The feed opens to a reveal Wing, composed though a tad concerned.]

Greetings. I am Wing. I am searching for a certain medic who's name I regrettably did not get. Autobot, airframe, white red and cyan. Discernible by an unfortunately notable lack of hands.

[He'd leave that part out, because gosh, who needs to be treated to gory descriptions upon a first or even second communication with a stranger, but it really is the greatest identifying feature of the mech he's looking for.]

I met him in the Junk Pile and left him to seek aid, but when I returned he was gone.

Doctor, I hope you're out there and managed to make it to safety by other means. If so could you let me know? Or if anyone else has seen him and can share his whereabouts or condition I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.

((Mostly tying up loose ends here, but run where ever you want with this. ;) ))

Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone like that, but if you're still looking I can help you search?

[He nods in greeting]

Thank you Deckerd, but I've found him. I appreciate the offer though.

Oh! That's good.

No problem at all. If you need anything just call on me. Any new developments since we last spoke by the way?

Your diligence is commendable, Deckerd.

I did recently receive word that my friend who was suffering from a plague is out of immediate danger, which is a grand relief. Aside from that no new news. I've been watching for--Yuuta is it?--but have seen no sign yet unfortunately.

Ah- oh. Thank you.

Well, that's fortunate! I wasn't aware robots could get sick?

As for Yuuta, I've concluded he likely isn't here. And that is... for the better.

I suppose the notion would be strange for you, wouldn't it? But our species is a complex biomechanical form of life, so it stands to reason that there would be simpler forms in the universe as well.

That said, disease is rare. This plague is not one that I had heard of before. It seems to attack and break down the our metaloid components on a molecular level. It's...not pretty to say the least. [He shudders.]

If he is not here then I hope he is safe somewhere.

Interesting... honestly that's a bit scary to think about. But interesting, nonetheless.

[He laughs at himself, admitting that.]

I'm glad your friend is alright.

Would it help to know that there are other biomechanical races in the universe? Some of them have even evolved from organic roots.

[He's not trying to blow you mind or anything, just let you know you aren't alone.]

But yes, the disease is quite dismaying, I'm happy our medics are working on a cure.

Really? That's incredible to think of! I suppose though- it makes sense. In a way, my A.I. evolved in a similar way, which is why I have a heart.

[Too bad, Wing. Mind is blown.]

They must be very talented.

Did it really? That's amazing. Why kind of organic roots?

[He stops and ponders over the translation a moment.] I assume you mean a "heart" in a metaphysical sense?

[This place is like that though, handing out epiphanies left and right.]

I certainly hope so. I'd... rather not think about the alternative. [He doesn't hide it, so it's probably pretty obvious that he has a personal stake in this.]

Well- sort of. What one might consider a "heart" or "soul". The personal awareness past my own body. Empathy, joy, sadness, loneliness, love, I was not originally constructed to feel those things. I was made to be a police robot and nothing more.

[]He smiles knowingly.]

You're close I take it?

Yes! Yes I understand. Cybertronians have something similar, we call it a a spark. It's also our lifeforce, without it, even with fuel and proper repairs, we would not function.

So you evolved these things on your own? That's truly a wonder that you've transcended your original state.

[Wing's open-hearted joy and wonder at this might be a little embarrassing, but he's genuinely enthused by such a marvel.]

I--We are, after a fashion. I'd like it to be more really. [He grins hopefully.]

Interesting. So your personality, all your memories are within this "spark"?

[Deckerd grins, no. He's just as full of wide-eyed wonder at the concept of a whole race of sentient robots like himself.]

It's all thanks to Yuuta.

[A pause, and he draws a brief conclusion, and then says a little bit knowingly...]

Oh. I see.

[He thinks you two are boyfriends now.]

Of a sort. The core of our personality, our individuality, yes. And personal memories too, over time. But we do have processors and memory banks that hold information as data, data that can even be transferred between mechs.

[They can be wide-eyed in wonderment together then!]

It's so wonderful that you have such a close bond with him, and that it could affect you in a such a way.

[He believes emotion, compassion, has that power, but it's amazing to see such tangible proof of it.]

[He chuckles at your knowing reply and maybe his faceplates heat a bit.]

I am rather attached to him, yes.

Hmm. Transferred how?

[Have a sheepish smile.]

To be honest, I think so to. he is the most dear person in the world to me. I would do anything for him.

[The smile grows a little and he nods.]

I think that's wonderful. I've never seen such a thing ah... play out before. Truly.

Any way you would send data. Could be wirelessly or via hardlink.

[Wing opens a panel in his wrist to display a small port and cable that can extend out.]

That's how I learned English actually. Drift's been to Earth but I haven't, and he shared his language files with me so I could understand one of the other refugees before we all got our communicators.

[He laughs softly, touched by your emphasis on wonderful.]

Well, there's still, uh, more to come so... [He'd say 'enjoy the show' but there's no way he could do it with a straight face.]

Hmm. Interesting...

[Excuse him while he stares.]

Oh! I see! That must be incredibly useful. We can so similar things, but not quite as easily.

[He just smiles like that's the best thing ever.]

I hope it goes well for you!

[Thankfully Wing is not shy.]

I imagine you have ways to connect to and communicate with digital systems bigger than yourselves. Cybertronians have just had a long time to refine things.

[Have a return smile, it's kind of infectious!]

I do as well, thank you! [Oh WOW does he.]

We do. Hmm. I wonder what things will be like for us in the future, then.

[A polite nod.]
