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.

I'm not actually sure how long Cybertron's had grass, but yes, I've seen the farm---I've been there!

[audio]

[popculturecon]

It never had grass when I was there. Like... like ever. This is so weird, it's really weird.

Look at all the trees in it! And all the little plants... Who's taking care of this?

[audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Just wait until you see some of the livestock it's got! And a bunch of volunteers, plus this super-sweet little fairy lady named Irja.

... You mean like Tinkerbell? I thought she made tiny immature humans fly.

[audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Kind of, and she's around the size, but as far as I know she mostly makes things grow and helps keep the place habitable. Insofar as organics---like myself---are concerned, anyway.

[audio]

[popculturecon]

But can she make tiny humans fly?

[audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Dunno, I never asked.

[audio]

[popculturecon]

Well... uh... do we have any tiny humans around here?

[audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Well, yeah... But I'm pretty sure my roommate airborne wouldn't end well at all.

[audio]

[popculturecon]

Scrap. Okay, fine. Well magically making plants grow is pretty awesome anyway, she doesn't have to make tiny humans fly too.

That'd probably be dangerous anyway.

[Audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

It would most definitely be dangerous---you haven't met the kid. Granted, you haven't properly met me, either; introductions are probably in order, eh? Name's Sam. And you?

[Audio]

[popculturecon]

Sam? So uh... I guess you're a human. Humans on Cybertron this is so weird.

I'm Soundwave, it's really nice to meet you. I hope the planet isn't like... too freaky for you or anything

[Audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Got it in one, and I'll warn you it gets a little weirder yet, since there's a decent number of us around.

It's really nice to meet you, too, and nah. I've been here for some months and the initial adjustment was not too bad at all. Most of the people are really nice, and that made things a lot easier.

[Audio]

[popculturecon]

So there's... no huge... war going on or anything?

[Audio]

[10_20_15_5_50]

No huge war going on, and kind of a general truce called, but there's some shit stirring with Unicron, which is apparently what's behind the Miasma which brought us here. That blackish mist, you might've got a glimpse of it when you first found yourself here? That's the stuff, and best avoided.

[Since the drone-modding is Soundwave's project, and she is both a) just helping b) cool with whatever, location matters only insofar as it determines what she has to stand on to get a good look at what the mech's doing.]

Y'know, I am slightly surprised and kind of impressed.

Re: [action | offshoot]

[popculturecon]

Impressed about what?

[He's barely even started yet!]

[10_20_15_5_50]

The speed with which you turned to a project. I started something day one as well, but it was after a couple of hours to just get grounded.

[popculturecon]

Well... it's still Cybertron in the end, isn't it? I mean you're a million miles away from your planet.

I'll go nuts if I don't do something.

[10_20_15_5_50]

That is exactly what motivated me. Tell you the truth? I'm still burnt over the outcome.

Good place to start. You're probably going to use your comm drone a lot, might as well make it very thoroughly yours.

[popculturecon]

Yeah! That's what I figured, and if I offer to start like... like doing this for other people, people will get to know me better. Might y'know... make some friends.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Your odds are good, I think. The people here are, for the most part, pretty friendly, and to the extent that they definitely do the most mitigating regarding the whole... being a million miles from home.

[popculturecon]

Yeah... w-well... yeah okay. I guess all I can do is hope for the best.

[10_20_15_5_50]

You could also accept an offered introduction? Cause I'm pretty sure my roommate is going to demand to know who did what to my drone and then want to meet you.

[popculturecon]

Sure! Yeah! Okay, I can do that, no problem!
