[Sissel wasn’t an easy one to surprise, but he had to admit, this was one of the last things he expected. He’d already woken up unconscious once, but that was after his death. And now he was...doing it again? How does a ghost die again? You’d think once would be enough. It wasn’t made easier being surrounded by giant...things that called themselves Acolytes (whatever that meant) and told him he was on a planet called Cybertron.

Now...either he really messed up traveling through some phone lines...or there’s something bigger going on. He basically took everything the Acolytes said at face value, and when they left, something finally sunk in. Something that confused him far more than being stuck on some ‘planet’ that wasn’t Earth.

He could move.

His hands fiddle with the device he was given, a little too jittery than what should be considered normal, and when the feed clicks on, you’re greeted to a rather confused man in sunglass-sir what is your hair even.]

I’m alive.

[Yes, thank you Sissel.]

I’m alive and I shouldn’t be.

Is there anyone on the other side of this? I really need to get back home. I don’t have a lot of time.

[He’s got less than 8 hours left of his ‘afterlife’, he’s got to make them count.]

[If it makes you feel better, Drift, neither is he.]

It's okay.

[There's a soft smile.]

It's not like I can exactly reverse my fate, right?

[He puts a hand to his chin, thinking this over.]

Some other person...I'm not sure if he was Cybertronian or like me, but he said that we travel through time AND space.

No, fate has a way of moving. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have hope. Maybe that's your destiny, why you're here and not there.

I mean, why would someone be brought here for only a few cycles?

[He nods.]

I think so. This is the past, it seems, of this Cybertron.

...

I like your moxie, Drift.

[He gives a slight laugh at that. His destiny...that word was used a lot with him. He liked to think he had something so grand laid out for him.]

...So this is the birth of your world. In a sense.

I try. [Entirely seriously. Optimism doesn't come easy for him: it never had.]

It's the birth of a world, if not mine or yours. And we have some responsibility not to mess it up, I think.

Well, I'm not sure how much help I'll be...compared to you guys, I'm tiny.

But if I was called here, I might as well try my best.

Size doesn't matter. I'm small for my kind. It's never stopped me from doing my job.

[Sometimes his job wasn't very nice.]

It's always better to try to do something than to just...wait to die. [He winces, realizing too late that that was, well...a bit tacky.] I mean, even in the gutters: it was better to try to fight to live than to just give up.

I guess you have a point there. I have a friend who's even smaller than me. Goes to about my...this part.

[He bends down, showing his shin.]

Funny way to get a second chance at life, now that I think about it.

[That's...pretty small.]

Everyone has unique talents. There's a human here from Earth who can modify our weapons. So don't underestimate what you can do.

[He grins.]

It's better to view it that way.

Just hope I can utilize them in some way for you guys. It'd give my...afterlife some purpose at least.

You don't owe us anything. We're all stranded together here. So, let it work both ways.

[But he nods, because he hears Sissel. ] It's a good purpose.

Mutual agreement to using each other for a better purpose.

Sounds like something I had back home.

That's one way to look at it. We're all just trying to survive.

Then I'll gladly lend...whatever strength I have.

That's more than anyone could ask of you.

Did the Acolytes explain everything to you? You have a place to stay?
Anything you need?

I'm in a temple of some sort...Vectorian?

Does that ring a bell to you?

[A nod.] Vector Prime is your First Forged, then. He's mine, too.

It might be good to seek him out. When I arrived I had a plague. He couldn't heal it, but he did...something with time to slow it down.

That might be a good idea. If anyone, he sounds like he'd have answers about my mortality.

More than anyone here. If he could keep me alive, he can help you.
