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.

Brings me to another point! You look like you'd be from Breakdown's Cybertron, so I've got to ask; was it what, around 2012 when you were on Earth?

No reason why not. I don't have a ton of MP3s, but you're welcome to all the music and the one video I had on my phone when I arrived, if y'want to upload it when there's an internet to upload it to.

Yeah around that time or so... I was on a mission to collect more information from a factory, supposedly about to be attacked by Autobots. It was starting to get pretty nasty in there.

Oh man, I totally have a huge library of information. Just... like... Oh man, I must've spent over a thousand dollars so far in itunes for less than half of what I have.

I'm sorry to hear that... but I'm glad you kind of? got out, and glad to hear you're from around my time. Five of us---I think?---from the 20-teens isn't bad at all.

Kind of envious. I've always been too broke for anything but illegal downloads.

Well I'm out now, that's all that matters, right? I'm sure things will work out.

Haha, I just kinda make money by doing music remixes under an assumed name and selling them. Y'know just kinda spending money. I do fractal art too, that's easy. Just math, only like... visual!

Right. Break from the war, best to make the most of it, yeah?

[Sam crosses her arms.]

Still kind of envious. I grant that a chunk of my money went to new tattoos, but I took two jobs to be able to do that. And I've got to admit, I'd like to see some of your fractal stuff.

Sure! No problem, I'd love to show it to you. They're pretty cool, it's really funny to see humans try to attach meaning to them.

'Unveiled today, and entitled Shopping Spree...'

[Yeah, no, Sam's going to snort a little laughter.]

I'm sorry, but. There's this quote to the effect that no-one hears more ridiculous opinions than a painting in a gallery. I used to work in one, before all this, so I've heard more than my fair share---especially where art interpretation's involved.

It's great to just throw one out there, and I'll get some human old guy trying to pick it apart.

'Well clearly the artist is communicating his deep, emotional feelings about his trouble with the world, the uses of red and white in it convey his deep patriotic spirit-

Or dude, maybe I just totally wanted to make a bird out of numbers.

[Now she's just laughing.]

I'm just saying! It's just a number bird! Y'know I bet when Picasso made all his lumpy cubist people he wasn't thinking about the meaning, he just wanted to draw a human woman with her boobs on the same side.

Soundwave---[she pulls it together with an act of will!]

Soundwave, please. You've got to promise me that if the man himself ever shows up here---which isn't impossible, just really, really unlikely---you'll ask about that.

Yeah sure, I can do that. He'll probably agree with me.

You're a sport.

I know.

Okay so... alright let's go to the library and get some stuff done, then we can swing by the warehouse and pick up supplies to start modding my drone.

Sounds like a plan. We could stop in to see Wheeljack, too, because his workshop isn't far from the Warehouse.

Sure! Awesome, I can't wait to meet him.

Maybe we should go do that first, then. It'll give me a place to ditch the stree'doo for a little bit, and Wheeljack might be able to supply you with some of the stuff you'll want for drone mods. If he can, we won't have to spend as much time in the Warehouse, and so having to deal with Dirge will be a little less likely.

Ooooh I'm already dealing with Dirge.

Oh, god. [She crosses her arms and looks up to Soundwave, clearly curious.] What's he said to you so far?

He wants to have my cushy sweet job and he doesn't want me taking stuff out of the warehouse.

Which is totally not fair and no way am I rolling over for some stupid baby jet bully.

He doesn't want me taking stuff out of the warehouse, either, which to be totally honest? Is just too damn bad. [Sam turns her palms up---the left is uninked, as the tattoos on that arm are all from the elbow up---unimpressed.] I'm not going to be intimidated out of it, either. Especially not after our other exchanges.

Yeah. So I'm just gonna go over there and tell him to suck it up. He's not even a vorn old, how hard can it be to get past him?

Not too terribly... but that's been my experience sneaking in, or---other times---going with an escort. The physical disadvantage I'm at is kind of an aggravation. Is it weird for you, hanging out with someone so much smaller? I know a fair few of the Cybertronians about hadn't really spent time socializing with humans before being here.

Yeah, I'm not scared of him.

It's fine! You're fine, I barely notice.

[One eyebrow goes up, and a crooked little grin surfaces on Sam's face.]

Really? Cause it took some time to get used to looking some people straight in the ankle.

[A little light teasing was inevitable---if Soundwave weren't way too tall, he'd be elbowed by now. But Sam seats herself on her stree'doo and puts her helmet back on, aware that going without it even once will have Hiro harassing her if he hears.]

Anyway. Shall we?
