Er, so. This looks kinda like Cybertron. Woo, I made it back. Points for me, I guess.

But things are looking kind of. Weird. And I woke up in this pile of scrap.

And there's this... what do you call this? Frequency? Um. Who am I contacting?

Weak Anthropic Principle, can you hear me? Anyone?

Uh, I'll even take Grimlock?

[vandalization]

That's a weird name for a ship.

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Yeah, I thought so too when I heard it. I didn't name it.

Who am I talking to?

[Video]

[vandalization]

Oh. Well.

My name's Vandal. I'm a medic. Ish. Sorta. Medic in training. You are. Kiiiiinda on an ancient version of Cybertron from my understanding stuck here with a bunch of Cybertronians and other folk who just happened to be unfortunate enough to get stuck here.

No there isn't a way home yet. Yes we are working on it.

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Great, so. I. Time-travelled or some scrap.

Well, that's just my luck.

Hi, Vandal. I'm Fulcrum. I, uh, was a technician. Now I'm just kinda trying to get back home, but I guess this is an all right pit stop.

[Video]

[vandalization]

Well. technically it's another dimension.

Hey! Nice to meet a fellow tech-head. You're taking this well, all things considered.

[malleability]

Huh. Unless I'm mistaken, that's a Decepticon brand on your helm. Why are you looking for Grimlock?

video

[forcowardice]

Oh.




Well. Because. Stuff. And.

Wait, who are you?

video

[malleability]

Gig. Crew of the Nemesis.

[ He taps one claw against the Decepticon brand on his chest. ]

Who are you?

video

[forcowardice]

Is the Nemesis even around?

Fulcrum. Uh, crew of the Weak Anthropic Principle. Don't ask. Gig, can you tell me the result of the war? I was told it was over, but I really don't know more detail than that.

video

[malleability]

It is in my dimension, and as far as I know the war is still going.

Most of the mechs here, though? They'll tell you it's over. At the very least there's some kind of truce going on here.

[ex_dishonestly997]

What's your name?

[he sees that brand on that helmet, there, K-Classer.]

video;

[forcowardice]

--Um.

[Well, that sure is Starscream. Yep.

Oh man oh man oh man.]

Fulcrum, sir.

[ex_dishonestly997]

[the slightest smile at the deference. That's appreciated.]

Lucky for us you didn't explode on contact. Welcome to Cybertron, nothing's going to be asked of you, try not to kill any Autobots. [a beat.] And if any of them try to kill you, tell me.

[forcowardice]

[Meep. He isn't sure if he should gently mention that he doesn't go boom anymore or. Or what, so he'll keep quiet on that for now.]

...Nothing? No orders? Are you serious?

Right, no. Of course not. War's over, so no shootie-shootie. I get you.

Um. Thank you, sir. [Wow, that's not what he was expecting.]

video;

[ex_dishonestly997]

Just don't get into trouble if you can help it. [he understands if that's a hard thing to do. Almost all his frie associates can't seem to help it. And occasionally he can't seem to help it, either.

He tilts his head.]

...Something wrong?

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

[That's a type Drift didn't expect to see. Ever.]

...interesting kibble.

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Yeah, sure. I get that sometimes. That and awful jokes.

Interesting Autobot symbol. Who are you supposed to be?

[Video]

[sword_redemption]

Decepticons weren't really known for their humor.

[At least Drift hadn't been.]

Drift. [He's going to watch, curious to see if there's a reaction.]

[Video]

[forcowardice]

Or at least not a good sense of one, I guess.

Drift, Drift... where have I--

[Video]

[forcowardice]

--What? No way. Ha. Hahaha! There's no way that I'd run into--

[Video]

[forcowardice]

...Seriously?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Oh, he's figured you've all ready gotten the low down on the place, so--] Did you sustain any injuries? [Cause waking up in a pile of scrap, godDAMN.]

[audio]

[forcowardice]

Nope. Feeling pretty uninjured as far as things go.

I hear the medbay's full, though. What happened?

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

A lot of things. [Helpful] Including new arrivals, I'm sure, much like yourself.

[audio]

[forcowardice]

Right, well. That's great, I guess. So there's a bunch of new guys like me. Um, so you have newbies at your medbay thing. Have you come across any other Decepticons?
