Hey! Excuse me! Anyone on this line?

[This voice sounds... like you are talking to Guyman himself. Musical and modulated, and kind of sort of loud]

Since when did Cybertron have grass? Or... y'know still be here? The fact that it's still... I mean that it's not... y'know really... dead and stuff is sort of-

NO REALLY WHY IS THERE GRASS HERE?

[He sounds pretty disturbed by this]

Not that grass is bad! I like grass, it was great on earth, if... y'know anyone here has been there at all, but like- Is that a farm? ... There's a tiny farm he- Did anyone see the tiny farm? Oh my god, I have to get a picture of this no wait, hold on.

[Oh Soundwave. He was about to say "yeah, talking", but... He just laughs instead.]

Well, I'll give you one thing, kid, you seem a lot friendlier than the Soundwave I know.

[popculturecon]

[HE KNEW IT]

Well being friendly is super and everything but like... I mean I don't wanna be scary, but at least like... Like back on the Nemesis I'm like the best guy for the job. There's no one who can do the stuff I can do, I'm running the Autobots in circles! Oh man, you should see how pissed Optimus was when I snagged a relic right out from under his nose, I totally planned it out perfectly, me and Shockwave double teamed him and it was my idea and all of my data and Optimus looked like his head was just gonna explode!

And now I'm here and like... so there's this other guy who's even better at what I'm best at?

That's not fair!

[the_earth_laughs]

Well, I don't know if they're real in your reality, but they are in this one. The planet itself is Primus, and Unicron is currently...fused with him I guess. They're both sleeping.

The mist around the city, the Miasma, is a product of both of them, a mix of chaos and order. It's what brought you here.

[popculturecon]

... Okay so I guess that makes one thing Optimus wasn't talking out his aft about. Sort of.

Megatron kinda believes in it but not all... y'know eating peoples faces sort of degree.

So I have to blame Primus and Unicron for being stuck here? Oh my god, do you know how crazy that sounds?

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He shrugs] Honestly, kid, I don't know that I can really compare. I've not seen you at work, but I have seen my world's Soundwave at work. Maybe you're better at it than he is, maybe not. Frankly, I hope we don't find ourselves in a situation to find out.

[popculturecon]

... Yeah I mean... that... makes a lot of sense... actually.

[It was nice when his top priority was just fucking with people for giggles and energon money]

Okay so... I guess I shouldn't like.. worry about that unless it comes to it. No big deal, right?

[the_earth_laughs]

[She chuckles.] Very, I know. But it's true. [She shrugs.]

We're looking for a way to stop Unicron for good now. We know some stood to fight against him before, in fact, some of those made it here after Unicron's final attack, but he's not dead, he's just sleeping, and still causing problems.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[Yeah...and hope you never meet his Soundwave.]

Yeah. Don't worry about it. Oh, guess I should mention, we're not at war here, so no starting fights with any Autobots you see.

[Including his partner. Luckily, Knock Out doesn't wear a band, so...]

[permavideo]

[knight_light]

[He looks amused.] Is the grass really the biggest shock right now?

[Really? Grass? When you've suddenly found yourself somewhere new and you're freaking out over grass? You're cute.]

[popculturecon]

I won't start any fights if they don't, I promise. I'm uh... Well I'm not that great with it anyway, so that's... proooobably for the best?

[forever audio]

[popculturecon]

Well it's on Cybertron!

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He looks surprised.]

Really? [Really!?]

Huh...

[popculturecon]

Man that's really some like... Lovecraft stuff. What if he can't die?

[knight_light]

[He chuckles.] It is. It is. And the grass really is a shock. I take it you were on Cybertron before finding yourself here?

[popculturecon]

I'm kind of just the brains, alright? I got a sword at the start of the war, but I pretty much blew my entire like... first vorns just sort of hacking things for money and goofing off at the Academy.

I've only been in a fight a few times. I just sort of stay on the Nemesis.

[popculturecon]

Well no I was on earth, but earth is supposed to have grass. Like, fifty percent of it is dirt, and the other fifty percent is grass.

[the_earth_laughs]

Then we make sure he remains trapped somewhere.

[popculturecon]

Oh man... I thought the war was bad, now I'm fighting against like... Robot Cthulhu and none of my friends are here and I can't even use a sword right.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Huh....well that's a difference I didn't expect.

[Seriously, the Soundwave he knows is probably one of the few that stands a smidgen of a chance in a fight against Megatron himself! Not that Soundwave would fight Megatron, too loyal, but still!]

[And look! They've reached a Gateway.] Anywhere, here's the Gateway. [Ignore Bulkhead's name written on the side of it.] You should be able to download a map and all the coordinate points for the most convenient areas there.

[the_earth_laughs]

You'll make new friends. You're sweet and friendly, Soundwave, making friends should be easy for you.

As for the sword, you might find someone around here who would be willing to teach you.

[popculturecon]

Yeah... e-easy.

I hope so because I don't know how to use it, I just got it at the start of the war...

[popculturecon]

... He's a really good fighter, isn't he.

[FUCKING. He ignores Bulkhead's name, figuring he probably doesn't have anything to worry about if this one is from Breakdown's universe. He just goes to link up and download everything, his body language distinctly anxious]

... So... um... We found the Gateway, that's really awesome... D'you like... wanna... y'know just wander around or... get... something to drink or-

[yes this is social networking he's a pro]

[knight_light]

It sounds beautiful.

Well, I guess I should welcome you to this odd Cybertron. My name is Wing.

[popculturecon]

It is! It's got trees and mountains and all sorts of little furry animals and humans and oceans and deserts, all sorts of cool stuff!

But... y'know it's... well it's not Cybertron.

Nice to meet you, Wing! I'm Soundwave.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[You poor kid... He smirks.]

Yeah, sure. We can head to the bar. C'mon.
