[As promised, the world ~~ends~~erupts in explosions here and there and everywhere one random night. Why wouldn't it, right? Sure, this is all fun and games, or is it?]

[It's not quite, not for this little mech the camera has seen fit to track, as is apparent from his screams as he darts behind this piece of rubble and that, trying desperately to get to that broken down building right over thar. Whatever has caused these massive craters around him, it clearly isn't finished, and he's right in the middle of it.]

[He lets loose a last cry as one particularly shiny explosion catches him right near on his aft and makes a wild dive for the ruined entrance - or at least, it might have once been an entrance at one point - and scrambles to get back up from the floor to slam his back against the wall, optics wide with ~~fright~~alarm. He presses a palm to his chest to help steady him because omfg what is going on even this is cray. He could fight back if he could at least see what he'd ticked off, but there's just nothing there! That same hand is lifted and two fingers go to the side of his head]

Master Drift! Slipstream! Please, respond! We are under attack!

[And he has no idea where he is. And please are you alive. This isn't Earth. This looks more like Cybertron. But it's not. Scrap is going down. What happened here what even is going on this is so not Kansas anymore STOP SHOOTING AT HIM]

[Whatever that little drone thing was that was near him, he hopes it... Oh. There it is, right in front of him. He stares at it. His mouth moves to say more. And the feed drops there.]

Okay. Okay, good. [There's some visible relief at that.] Look, if that changes, and you are able, you contact me through this channel and you let me know, okay?

[Have a tiny nod.]

Thank you. I cannot see who is after me. Do you know what is happening?

[though, really, thanks Breakdown, he has an idea and he doesn't like it please don't let him be right]

I think this shit is miasma-related---which may not mean too much to you. Did you just, just get into this mess?

I do not understand. I was on Earth, with Master Drift and Slipstream, and with Bumblebee's team. We were to stay. But then I was here, and I found this drone, and then I was fired upon and it has not stopped.

[BOOM! And a sharp cry from this one. Yep. He's surprised it hasn't breached the walls and found its way inside yet.]

I was on Earth, too.

[shocking, she knows]

This is going to sound crazy, but thanks to some thing going on with Unicron and the chaotic juju consequently all about, people are getting pulled here, here being a version of Cybertron which has been partially terraformed. For what it's worth, unless they were in danger on Earth, your teammates are still safe.

[That doesn't sound good at all. Nope.]

So then Unicron does exist. He was not destroyed as I was told.

[Something about that just seems to crush him... until he hears that everyone else may be safe.] That is good to know. They were not in danger when last I saw them. I hope... they stay safe.

That... they stay away from here...

I'm sorry...

[nobody wants to deal with an ancient robo-space-satan being a thing. nobody.]

...but odds are all for that, at least.

[no no he does not not at all]

As long as they are okay, I...

[He honestly doesn't know. He wish he'd had a chance to say a few last words to them.]

They should be. You're here, I'm here, but they? They're not involved at all.

[even through the video feed, which won't show auras, it's easy to tell how the new bot feels; Sam's been there herself, at times through her stay in Haven]

While you're here, I can't keep calling you 'guy.' What'd be better?

[Fun place, the inside of his head right now.]

I am glad.

[Names? He hadn't even realized.]

Jetstorm. I am called Jetstorm.

I'm Sam. Sorry we're not meeting in a better situation.

May we later, if we survive this.

[how long does this even]

Here's hoping.
