[It's Slipstream, Cybertronian Seeker with a light-teal and violet deco. Thruster repaired, she's hovering within the void of a crater. She attempts to sound pleasant, though whether she's successful is arguable.]

First off, any of you big bots or fellow refugees seen parts of this planet not littered with piles of scrap or marked with so many stellar craters. [Sarcasm: it is thick here.]

No offense to the big bot. The neighborhood looks to be undergoing some urban renewal, and offers all kinds of nostalgia for bots with experience in mining or demolitions. There's even attractions for the organics, like the ice hockey rinks. [Meaning the icy surfaces in the depths of the craters, images of which she's broadcasting.] And there's plenty of available residences in secure, well-shielded excavations.

And, second, since it's been established we weren't collected one from each universe, anyone noticed an exceptionally charming, handsome, egotistical, suck-up of a Seeker skulking around? If he's not in a pile of scrap waiting to be recycled, he's probably making a nuisance of himself!

You might say he looks something like me. [She gestures to those parts of her own body corresponding to her description.] Extra-broad shoulders. Strong- jaw. Amber canopy.

[Slipstream crosses her arms over her cockpit canopy. Lip components press together in something near a frown.]

It's not like I need to find him, or he's some great leader, or useful. But, I might not mind knowing if he's around.

I can't say mine was that bad, but it wasn't very good either until recently. Completely dead though..?

[She grimaces, back-mounted panels twitching. The thought it ~~terrifying~~, unpleasant.]

Not really, no. So what's the exception?

[It feels... odd, to be having this sort of discussion with a Decepticon, but more because of things in general than the built-up rage and idstrust of having been in a war for millions of years, beacuse she hasn't.]

So it's been said. Some are in control of one faction or another, which is possibly as bad, if you're not the resident faction.

[Just small talk. It's not like they're discussing troop movements.]

Seems here, we're all an exception in some way. Who's winning the war, whether it's over, the condition of Cybertron, religious movements.

Depending on your point of view, yes.

[Of course only small talk. Nothing else at all, so Elita's sharp little grin is just part of it.]

The details are important after all. It'd be interesting to learn what all the differences are, but that might get unwieldy, unless you had somewhere to store the information...

[She wasn't much of a "social patterns" type of femme, but it was still an interesting thought in general, all these possible differences and similarities.]

Of course. [Have a pout at not being part of the resident faction back in the world.]

If we're really gonna be here a while, there's likely time enough for discussion. Though, designations would be useful. 'Universe Alpha' or that sort of thing.

At least for any universes that have... similar design? There does seem to be some general differences in design between some universes.

[Shrugging, Elita knew that that would probably be interesting for any scientists; she, however, was merely noting the differences to be able to tell everybody apart.]

Right. Whether bots are more pointy or boxy or curvy. [It's not quite sarcasm, but bitter all the same.]

Universes where the Autobot leader is the Magnus and carries a hammer. Universes where they never heard of such a hammer.

[She's just going to stare, helm slightly tilted. Yes, that was pretty much what she meant.]

... Magnus leading all the Autobots? That's... new. He commands the ship I'm with along with Grimlock in my reality.

[It's almost easy to phrase it like that, now. "My reality", as if it's such a simple thing, nothing special.]
