[The video clicks on far too close to Blades' face as he seems to be squinting at something. Realizing the camera is on, he blinks and backs up, hurrying to put a smile on his face.]

Hello! Hi everyone out there! I'm Blades. So, I guess we're all a little lost, or something? I don't know, some guy just told me I was in a lamb or something... looks like Cybertron to me. At least... sort of. There aren't all the cities and buildings and lights, but I know Cybertron like... Well, like home.

[A soft sigh as he wonders what home is exactly right now. Griffin Rock feels the most like home. But no time for that. A slight shake of his head brings him back to the here and now.]

Anyhow, if anyone sees my teammates, I'd appreciate it. There's a fire truck named Heatwave, a police car named Chase, and a bulldozer named Boulder. They're all really nice and I miss them. Of course, seeing as I heard we're stuck here, I'd love to get to know some of you too! I'm always up for making new friends. I've been so busy pretending to be a robot lately, it's been hard to talk to people.

[Oh, maybe he shouldn't mention that. Oops. A sheepish smile before he continues.]

Yeah. So... Hi again, and bye for now! [An enthusiastic wave and the screen blinks out.]

[Woah, weird face! Where is its mouth? And... other eye?]

Um, I'm a rescue bot. What are you?

[Maybe you're the one with the weird face. You know, since you're the one who has a face here.]

...the frag's a 'rescuebot'?

Whirl. [Obviously.]

[Oh geez, no need to get snappy.]

A bot who does rescue work...? [Obviously.]

Nice to meet you, Whirl. [I think.]

[Is that 'snappy' thing a reference to Whirl's claws? You like to live dangerously, rescue blot.]

Rescue.

Like deep infilration, undercover slag?

[If this escalates, does anyone think Rung will come save me?]

Um, no, like... Saving people from a rushing river or a burning building or falling rocks. That kind of thing.

[Hrm. The combined powers of cuteness and orangeness would be difficult to overcome....]

So.

Fraggin' up natural selection.

[Orange power!]

What? That's mean. People need help so I help them!

It's not mean. Giving them false hope? Now that's mean.

[Trust him: he knows mean.]

Why would you say that? Hope is never false, unless you're hoping it won't snow during winter or something obvious like that.

Maybe where you're from. Trust me, where I'm from they crush hopes, and eat them with fraggin' energon gravy.

That doesn't sound nice...

[Thank Primus that he and this bot are apparently from different places, then.]

[Slow clap.]

It ain't nice.

....

but they are delicious.

...

[Wait. No mouth.]

I bet you don't even eat or taste.

Don't mind Whirl. He likes pulling people's legs [...]. He's actually rather sweet, if not a little... rambunctious.

Whirl, maybe ease up - this kid seems to be only a few vorns old. Well, seemingly.

....sweet.

[Did that car drop on your head before you called for help?]

What? Just fraggin' words. [OH FINE.]

[WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE CAR INCIDENT.]

Well, your words have a way of... How shall I put it? Causing some people discomfort.

Not so much me anymore, as I've become desensitized to your dry, often misplaced humor. [Well, almost.] Just... Just. That's all.

[He just wants you to make friends the PROPER way, one-eyed babby.]

[Whirl does. A lot. In fact, he's doing it right now just to annoy you.]

Yeah? Know what? Life has a way of causing people discomfort.

....you're no fun. [But Whirl will definitely bring his a-game for you. Desensitized his shapely metal rump!]

Well, it's not like you need to add more discomfort to life after you've been suddenly, hardly inexplicably stranded in a whole new universe.

[he's smiling JUUUUST slightly at the "no fun" comment] I get that a lot, yeah.

I'm actually fully formed and matured, thank you. [Sounds a little irritated. Obviously this is a touchy subject and something that comes up a lot.]

Ah, then my apologies.

Just giving you a head's up, that's all. Like I said, Whirl's a relatively nice guy. Just don't take him too seriously.

[you were warned]

[Frag.]

You got me. I don't really eat the crushed hopes of better mechs.

[Fine. You and your logical deduction. Harrumph.]

I just wanted to sound badaft so you'd like me.

[He's also lyyyyyyyyying.]

That... sounds like someone I know. [Heatwave acted tough to impress them all the time. So did Kade for that matter.]

If you wanted me to like you all you had to do was be nice! [Thinks Whirl is serious.]

All I had to do.

[Right. Do you realize this is Whirl you're talking to?]

I don't do nice.

Maybe you should give it a try. You're an Autobot, right? We're the good guys. We show everyone the best in Cybertronians.

Tried it once.

Didn't work out so hot.

[Do not make him laugh--oh too late.]

Best in Cybertronians. Right. Guess nobody told you you can't have a war and play nice.
