[A slightly dirty purple haired girl pops up on the feed, peering with sharp green eyes into the camera.]

This thing on? [There was an affirmative beep and she nodded, still looking wholly suspicious.]

Now, I know enough about science to know where I'm not - Not the moon though these craters beg to tell me differently, [she muttered with a glance at the creator filled South Eastern Sector.]

Anyone wanna help a Girl figure out what rock I just landed on? This sure as hell isn't a rock that I know of and I'm well versed in... Ok, not space science. Right now, I'm well versed in confusion...

[She tugged idly at her tertiary ear piecing in thought.]

The space dust has been... roughly explained to me. It's bad news, right? Is that how everyone who is here came?

[still_learning]

It is dangerous. When I first arrived, it sent projectile weaponry after us. I and others were injured. But we have been told that the Miasma brought us to this world. For what purpose, I do not know.

[artistwithasickness]

I'm glad I missed whatever light show that musta been.

Were you.. injured?

[still_learning]

[There's a little pause.]

I was, but it was not serious. [It so was.] I hope it never has to happen to you while you are here, but if you are ever hurt, you should try to get to the hospital. Ask for Guardian Paian. He was the one who helped me. He is very kind and quite talented.

[artistwithasickness]

Guardian..? [She didn't like that sound of that. She'd seen enough 'Guardians' - titles that that usually didn't end well as people rarely protected other people for the hell of it.]

Thankfully, I'm pretty good at taking care of myself, but I'll keep that in mind. Besides.. I mean, with you being a robot and me.. not.. I don't think medical care for you would help me.

[still_learning]

It is strange, I will confess. But he appears to be human himself. He was able to heal me with one touch. There was no surgery involved. I would not have believed if I had not seen. If you do become injured, there should be others who can help you, if you do not trust him. It was difficult for me at first as well.

[artistwithasickness]

Sounds like Magic... Eh, I'll take a look. I've seen a few forms of it so maybe I'm delusional, but I feel alright to judge it. So long as I know how it works. Magic is some strange voo-doo.

Have you been here long?

[still_learning]

[That gets a blink out of him.] Magic? Oh.

I have not been here long. It has been only a few Earth weeks.

[artistwithasickness]

Could be.

That's not too bad. Is this your first time away from your reality too?

[still_learning]

[There's a moment of silence where he has to stop himself and consider what she just said. 'First time' out of his reality? As if there could be other times this would happen? Now there's an odd thought.]

Yes. I have never been away from my own world, that I am aware of... Have you?

[artistwithasickness]

[Whoops.

Devi shrugged, like it didn't matter.]

I've been around, yeah. You get used to it.

Is it a pretty calm place at least?

[still_learning]

[As much as he might like to explore around, he'd rather not. At least, not right now. He's still just getting used to this world.]

It can be. There was the attack when I first arrived, but nothing since then. I hope it will stay that way.

[artistwithasickness]

Me too.

So it's changed a lot? What'd it look like last time you saw it?

[still_learning]

It was a place where we could thrive once more. We had much of the planet rebuilt, though not all of it. Several cities were livable again, and there was no organic life. Some places still needed to be cleansed of the traces of the war, but I did not visit them. I only saw images.

[He isn't telling her everything, of course, but there are some things he wouldn't tell anyone, so...]

[artistwithasickness]

Organic life is a relatively new thing then.. [Well, with what she can tell, relatively meant a lot of things here.]

There anything that isn't touched by it? By.. any chance?

[still_learning]

There may be. I have not yet seen what is beyond what the Miasma covers. It is possible organic life has not been able to grow there.

[He's not really inclined to look for it either just yet.]

[artistwithasickness]

Huh.. [That look on her face as she looks out to the left of where she's at is a look of curiosity.. and trouble.]

Well, all the more reason to focus on here, isn't it? There are a few mechs here, right? I know you're not the only one but..

[How many Transformers would she have to wrap her head around?]

[still_learning]

I had not tried to search beyond the city. It is not safe there. Everyone that I have met since I've been here is within it. Many are Cybertronian, but there were a few other humans.

[artistwithasickness]

[Devi hummed an idle note of acknowledgement to the warning, but safe was never much of her concern. She looked back at the feed as he continued.]

So you guys get a few types. Well, it could be worse, couldn't it? Are you finding things comfortable here?

[still_learning]

Yes. [Sorta.] It is suitable, once the shock of arrival wears off. You seem like you will be okay here. Do you know how to get to the center of the city?

[artistwithasickness]

I'm sure I will be. [Once her stomach got past that horrid lurching. Devi was used to adapting. This place would be no different.]

Yeah, I've got directions and a lift on the way. I'm sorry, I don't know what your name is, Mr...?

[Mr was used with zero confidence, she's feelin her way out.]

[still_learning]

[Blink. Mister? That sounds a lot like Master to him.]

Ah, Jetstorm. Only Jetstorm. I have not yet proven myself to be strong enough to be called Master. [It'd be great, but maybe Cybertron will one day be ready to accept minicons are also sentient beings... or maybe it won't. He doesn't have much faith they'd take him seriously anyway.]

[artistwithasickness]

Master? [Pardon her while she gives that a little side eye. There's a lot of different definitions for 'Master']

It's nice to.. half meet you, anyway. I'm Devi.

[still_learning]

[blink] Yes. Someone who would take another under their teachings. Is that your meaning?

It is good to meet you as well.

[artistwithasickness]

Nooo. Not quite. As I didn't actually say Master. It's cool, I don't expect Mister, Missues or Miss to translate over. [It was punctuated with a smile.]
