[Audio Post]

[At first he was going to encrypt the message to only Autobots. But then he started wondering if that was what he really wanted? Maybe it was time to try other things and see what came up. In any case, no one was to see who he was, and he made sure to scrub the connection clean of his personal identifiers. He even modulated his voice a bit to sound higher. He was a trained spy, after all, and he didn't want to go giving himself away.]

Is anyone hearing this? Is anyone out there? I'm not sure where I am or what I'm supposed to be doing, but... If someone could explain it to me that's not a temple drone?

[Was that too telling? Slag. Or did everyone start at these temples?]

Is there a way out of here? Any shuttles or teleports or whatever? Let me know what you've found. I'll be here.

[That little snippet was all anyone would get from. The mission was to collect data. the source didn't matter because all information was valuable. It would of course, be evaluated based on who it came from after it was obtained. ]

I wish I could say the temple drones were lying or exaggerating, but they're not. You really are on a very young and underdeveloped Cybertron, and there really isn't any way to get back where you came from. Not that anyone's found yet, anyway.

[He's gone with audio as well just because the other person did, but he makes no effort to otherwise hide who he is. If the person recognizes his voice, then so be it. Despite the brands on his wings, he won't be the one to start any trouble. There are too few of them here, they really can't hide from one another - not for long - and faction contentions are actually discouraged. So if this person is Autobot, Decepticon, Neutral, or non-Cybertronian at all...Thundercracker's realized he really doesn't care. He'll take each person as they present themselves.]

Did an Acolyte not properly explain?

[Not knowing what you're supposed to be doing, you say?]

Yeah, but when has that been news?

[Random insult ftw?]

[The voice was familiar, but there was something just so slightly different about it...]

That isn't very reassuring... What of the society forming among the castaways? Peaceful? Or still tense and divided?

[He deliberates whether to reply or not; he really doesn't like audio-only from someone new, and even if the voice is... sort of slightly familiar, it's not enough to pinpoint anyone.

And that makes Cliffjumper more frustrated rather than if he hadn't recognized the voice at all.]

Thing is, whatever the drone said is right. An' as far as we know, there ain't no way outta here. Gonna have to get comfortable.

[He shrugs slightly and he'd apologize for the frown, but well.]

[Ultra Magnus. Trustworthy, for the most part, but not really who Mirage wanted to see. He'd remain out of sight for now.]

It was explained, but I thought perhaps another explanation from someone who was also stranded and had perhaps established themselves here might be helpful.

[A blind jab. Mirage couldn't care less.]

Hilarious. Did you have anything usefull to add?

Depends. You asking anything useful? Or you just asking how slagged we are?

[Cliffjumper. Mirage didn't have anything against him per se, but he did tend to be... jumpy. Still, they got along well enough.]

Is it really that hopeless? I didn't think you were one to give up.

I did ask about transports and whatnot. I suppose if that's not specific enough for you then you could answer how slagged we are.

Transports as in back? Yeah uh no. You think we'd be here if we had a choice?

We have a tentacle monster, and giant spiders and a Ratchet who tortured First Aid for funsies....

So. Pretty slagged.

[Okay, he didn't like hearing random people claiming they knew him when he couldn't tell who they were...]

Dunno 'bout giving up but this is the third reality that ain't my original one that I've been to, and the second with this weird as slag multidimensional thing. I know what I can do and that ain't coming up with ways to travel through dimensions.

[He just rides these extradimensional transwarp portals or whatever, not build them!]

... And gonna tell me who you are, since you've just claimed to know me well enough to say that?

[He scowls, because even if this isn't someone he knows (but the vaguely familiar voice says he should know who it is), and it's probably another alternate reality thing, he'd rather know that than not.]

[Something was off. The frame was slightly different, and that was excusable because bots change a little all the time for various reasons. Dimensional travel, though? This seems like something Cliffjumper would brag about more often...]

How did you come back from your previous dimensional excursions? And If it's all the same to you, I'll remain anonymous for now.

[If it was "his" Cliffjumper, there was a good chance he thought Mirage was a traitor just like Ironhide apparently did.]

Some people might stay, I think. There are all sorts of opportunities in a place like this.

[Tentacle monster. Ok...]

That sounds... disturbing.

[And so very unlike Ratchet.]

Eh, it sucks about the same as Cybertron back home. [Especially now that Ultra Magnus was here. Blergh.]

[Oh Prism was a unique experience.]

So, yeah. Fun place. Welcome to 'Haven'. [Have some sarcastic airclaws.]

[Yep, there certainly wasn't any bumpers up on his shoulders. Not that that could be seen by the angle, but that was all down on his feet...]

First one I never actually got back from. [He shrugs, and then huffs. Anonymous, huh? His lips thin a bit, but he does have some patience. A little. Tiny bit... Maybe.] Just followed some red an' blue 'bots through a portal, didn't think it'd end up being interdimensional or whatever...

Second one we were bein' sent back home in the end, was another Cybertron... lot more advanced than this one at the moment though. They gave in after they realised their Shockwave'd been pullin' people through an experimenting on us.

[He scowls a bit, but he never really directly was a victim of TransTech Shockwave's experiments, besides being pulled to Axiom itself.]

Pretty much ended up here directly after I got back from that, though.

At least there are no insecticons here... [The Swarm was the last thing they needed.]

Haven? Is that what they're calling this place?

Yet.

[Evil chortle. What can he say? He's an optimist.]

Yeah, guess someone has a sense of humor.

That is all... very unfortunate to hear.

[None of it rang a bell, and it was certainly something Cliffjumper would have spoken about if he had gone through it. The camera flickers on and Mirage is visible on the feed, his voice returning to normal.]

So you have quite a bit of experience with this sort of thing. How long have you been on this world?

I would prefer there never were.

[Insecticons were bad business even with a full army. What did they have here that they could hope to defend themselves with?]

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe we were all saved from some terrible fate that we didn't even know about.

[No, he doesn't believe a word of it. He just thinks the optimism card will annoy Whirl.]

All that the Acolyte has stated is accurate. In addition to that, I will say that there is some organization being executed in regards to proper law creation and abiding.

There had been some mishap with ... pages of some kind from Alpha Trion. I suspect Perceptor can explain more properly than I would be able to.

Yeah, but I've learned not much actually gives a scrap about what I 'prefer'.

[Word.]

...you believe that scrap? Fate, schmate.

Trust me, you'd prefer they not appear here either.

[Oh good, it's working.]

What? Of course I believe it. Why shouldn't I? Do you have any evidence against it?

[Alpha Trion? Interesting. There was obviously a lot of information to gather.]

And these... Primes? Are they legitimate? Are they not the law of the land?

The information you received from the Acolyte was entirely accurate. If it failed to outline the main points, or if you have specific questions, I can attempt to elaborate for you.
