[Video | Alpha Trion's Temple]

[shutupndrive]

[There's a moment of fuzz before the video actually settles and comes through completely, Smokescreen standing just outside Alpha Trion's temple, one hand resting on his hip as he holds the camera with the other. He'd been filled in by an acolyte, of course, but that didn't make him any less prepared to believe completely, meaning that he had to go out and see everything for himself. A part of him wanted to find Alpha Trion himself--mostly because he couldn't believe the other was still functioning--but right now he wanted to see if he could find any of the others.]

Smokescreen reporting in. Anyone from Team Prime out there? I figured it'd be best to touch base with at least someone before I started trying to just find you guys or something like that.

[Despite the odd nature of his situation, Smokescreen seems pretty relaxed--or he's at least keeping himself together pretty well because he's not really sure how he got back to Cybertron. Sure the acolyte had told him about that giant hole that was dumping people through but..that..was about as believable as saying Starscream had changed for the better. At least in his opinion.]

Arcee? Bumblebee? Bulkhead? Ratchet? Optimus? Anyone? Come on guys, don't leave me hanging please. I really want to get the real details of whatever's going on and you're the ones I want to hear it from. As much as I'd love to just believe this was all good and well and Cybertron was really in an okay state like this, you'll understand if I completely and totally don't believe it right?

[He's itching to go and do something, like always, shifting his weight back and forth as his doorwings twitch some.]

Calling all Autobots! Please respond!

Cybertron. A different one. A new one. And we're all coming here from different times and places.

[Hey, he's miles behind everyone else as far as time. So he won't see any of this pouting about not being recognized.]

[video]

[shutupndrive]

Well it's not the Cybertron I want to be on.

[He says it softly, bitterly even.]

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Yeah, well. That Cybertron is gone. Never coming back.

At least this one's alive.

[His doorwings droop and he glances down, bristling a bit at the same time because he hates that. Hates that their Cybertron is gone.]

...Yeah well, just because it's alive doesn't mean it's home.

[redshirtrobot]

Hey, I'm just glad I can set foot on solid ground without being shot at.

[And he has more people he matters to here than he ever did back in their dimension, pathetic as it is.]

[video]

[shutupndrive]

Heh. Yeah I can see how that would be a nice thing for you.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

So as far as I'm concerned, this is the best place I've been in a long time. If we're stuck here for a while, I. Don't really mind.

[video]

[shutupndrive]

Glad you're happy at least.

[Except not really.]

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

No you're not.

[Lying works better when you don't have a face, bro.]

[video]

[shutupndrive]

..Yeah, no, no I'm not.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Yeah, you all kind of have these little twitches when you lie. It's really easy to tell.

[video]

[shutupndrive]

....I can't help it. Slag off.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

... What are you going to do if I don't?

[video]

[shutupndrive]

Cut the comm.

[video]

[redshirtrobot]

Well. Have fun with that.
