Hello? Is this thing on? How do I... oh.

[Suddenly the video pops on, to a view of a man with short dark hair in a dark grey trench coat and white shirt. He adjusts his clothing slightly and straightens up.]

This is Captain Nathaniel Renko, Spartan platoon of the Titan Corps of North America. Though I'm guessing there's no one here that knows of either of those... [~~Or he wouldn't be using his real name.~~ But who knows, maybe there's someone around here that remembers Spartan-21 or Titan-1 Actual, or heavens forbid, his name. Without understanding the former connotations of his name in his timeline, hopefully.]

So I've heard that I was dropped through some kind of rift and I'm on another planet. And apparently there are sentient giant robots. Which I guess makes my next question... what's it like where you're from originally?

[If he seems less bothered about the whole "temporal-spacial displacement" thing than others might be, it's because he is. For you, this might be life-changing and incredibly traumatizing, but for him it is Tuesday.]

Where I'm from originally?

A lot fewer talky tiny organics cluttering up the place, for a start.

[You sound military. Which is pretty cool, because Springer is all about that.]

So your Earth doesn't have robots?

[WEIRD!]

Well you're all sunshine aren't you.

The talky tiny organic didn't ask to be here, he'll have you know.

[Renko is totally military! Or was, at least. Things changed.]

Not unless you count powered mech suits. I'm guessing yours has more though?

[Right back: WEIRD!]

Sunshine and kitten fur, that's me.

[Well, 50% right.]

Hey. There are worse places. [You don't get to insult Cybertron, you Splartan or whatever you are. .]

Cybertron? Yeah, all of us. And the Earth I've been to, you guys all know about us, too.

[That 'Robots in Disguise' thing didn't last past season one, really.]

You were the one complaining about me being here.

[Besides, he'd rather be stuck in the place that he knows, whether or not he'd accidentally turned it into a living Hell.]

Yeah, about the you part. Not about the here part.

[Frag. Pay attention. It's really hard to mock you when you're being dense.]

So you're from the land of no robots. INTERESTINGtellmemore.

[Because you know what this calls for? Teenage girl.]

Well, there's definitely more trees back home.

And people didn't freak out about the whole... giant alien robot thing? That seems like something to panic over a little bit.

[Teenage girl? Teenage girl.]

You'd be surprised how few trees I've seen lately back home... Got a name, kid?

It looks like you're stuck with both parts of that sentence. Sucks for you, buddy.

[He's totally not going sit here and be mocked, even if he has to pull acting dense to do it.]

There's not much to say. There's no robots. It's a lot quieter.
Besides, I'm not sure you're actually interested, or just trying to find a way to snipe at me.

[Yeah, there was a whole lot he didn't understand in there. BUT HE KNOWS WHAT A CAPTAIN IS.]

You're a pirate!

[Sort of.]

Where's your eyepatch?!

[Uhh... what?]

... Think I left the eyepatch in my other set of pants.

I'm. Not that kind of captain anyway. I'm an army captain.

Oh.

[Bummer.]

Yeah, I guess I should have noticed when you didn't say 'arrr matey'.

Never even owned a parrot, either. And I've got both my hands.

[Which he raises into shot. See? ~~Ignore the glowy thing sticking up above the coat cuff.~~]

Though not all pirates say "arr matey" I'm sure.

[~~Well if you say so.~~]

Clearly you haven't spoken to a lot of pirates.

The correct term is Cybertronian not robots, sir. [Blurr tries not so sound petty, he's just explaining There's a few mechs here that could get offended at the idea of being called robots. He's also talking really fast, as always.]

My world is similar to this one just not so young and ^usually not so dangerous AND yours?

There aren't all that many pirates left where I'm from.

... also I hate to bring this up, but you do realize you're a bear, right?

[Is this normal?]

... Are you going to a fire or something? [Why do you talk so fast, it's really hard to keep up with.] I take it you... Cybertronians get offended about robots?

[... all he got was 'young' and 'dangerous' and he does not approve of either of these adjectives.] Mine? My world's gotten pretty awful lately. Not that things were very good to begin with, but... well, a lot of wars have broken out lately.

[He hadn't quite anticipated that. But he's working on it.]

[It's normal when you are a bear, sure. Now, if he were a cow, we'd have a problem.]

What's that suppose to mean? Of course I realize that! I'm the bear of bears, top bear if you will. What do you think I am? A big dummy?

I wasn't sure if it was some kind of spontaneous mutation or something...

[Which actually are normal for him. Mutants are everywhere.]

We don't exactly have a lot of talking bears back home. Or any, to my knowledge.

[He sputters a little bit there.]

M-M-Mutation?! How rude! Who in their right mind would think such a pretty bear was a mutation? Just because you haven't seen a lot of bears, doesn't mean you should go around calling people names, buster!

Hey, mutations are normal where I'm from. And I've seen plenty of bears, but none of them talk. My timeline isn't your timeline.

Calling me a pirate was pretty rude too but I didn't get angry at you.

Now you have something against pirates? But...pirates are cool!
