That's where I fell out of, huh?

[The feed shows a blurry, unfocused shot of the Lambda. From the tint of the sky, this is probably being recorded somewhere near Prima's temple. The view switches to a wary-looking human in scuffed brown robes; she's frowning and looking up at the glowing tear in the sky.]

I guess I'll buy it. I've never seen anything like that. Pretty, though.

[She shakes her head, at last looking down at the camera.]

My name is Revan. If you recognize that name... all I can say is I'm not who you think I am.

Bastila, if you're here: Come in, please. I haven't seen anyone from our happy little family, so I'm hoping they're with you.

[There's an edge to her tone. Revan's sense of the Force has been muted since she woke up—not gone, just strangely muffled. With luck, that's the only reason why she can't detect the other Jedi's presence, but Revan doesn't make a habit of trusting to luck.]

I don't think any of us have seen anything like it. Even the First Forged can't explain it.

Revan. I'm Drift.

[...woah. Either her sense of scale is completely off or this is another huge droid like the Acolyte.]

Isn't there any way to get off-planet and get a closer look?

Hi. Are you from this place, or did you get dumped here too?

[That might be a stupid question, but nothing ventured nothing gained.]

You'd have to ask the aerial frames that. [A rueful shrug.] Not me, I tend to obey gravity. [It's one of the few laws he always obeyed. Even Ultra Magnus never caught him breaking that one. ]

[He laughs.] That's a hard question. This is Cybertron, but it's not my Cybertron. Some alternate past, I think.

But I got dumped here. Literally. Flat on my face in the Junk Pile.

"Aerial frames"? Is that some kind of spacecraft?

[a sympathetic wince.] Guess I won't complain about waking up in that temple. I'm still having a hard time believing this isn't some elaborate hallucination. It wouldn't be the first time.

[Oh. Right.] I mean those whose alt modes can fly. I'm just a ground vehicle.

[A laugh.] I don't know about you, but my imagination couldn't come up with anything like this.

I'll keep that in mind. [hm.] It all depends if that thing is in atmosphere or not. And I bet it won't be as easy as just hucking people back through it.

Well... didn't you say this is a version of your planet? Out of the two of us, you're really more likely to hallucinate this place.

That, I don't know. But you might ask Jetfire or Wing? [Not Whirl. For spark's sake, never ask Whirl anything.]

From what I've heard we're here but we're also back there. Things happen after we're pulled here back in our worlds and we're there, doing things. [He is not great at quantum science and displacement. That's what Perceptor's for.]

Oh, maybe this place. But I've seen Cybertron look way worse. And I don't think I could have made up the Brave Police, or Prism. Or the sharkticon things.

[She nods firmly.] Got it.

Okay, now you're messing with the newbie. I mean—fair enough, alien world, doesn't have to rely on recognizable logic, but... [yeah, quantum science isn't on the curriculum at the Jedi temple, either.] ...sharkticon?

[Sheepish.] I'm, uh, really more of the stabbing guy, not the science guy. But that's what I can piece together.

[Ma'am you are talking to a robot who has emotions and facial expressions, logic left us a loooooong time ago.]

That's what they called them. Big. Robot shark things. Lots of teeth. Like. Rows of them. Plural.

Oh. Also giant spiders. [While he's giving you the tour of the local fauna.]

[Robot, you are talking to a monk who can kill people with her brain. Your move.]

[In the meantime Revan's just gonna.

drop her head into her hands.]

I should've just not gotten out of bed this morning.

[N-no, you win this one. But if Drift ever finds out about that, he's going to be all over you. He loves mystical stuff like that.]

I'm sorry? It's really not that bad here. [Sort of.]

Do you need anything?
