[The feed from the drone clicks on, giving the view of a rather bright yellow colored bot. He's not looking the most impressed, but when he speaks the voice might be familiar to some. Even if the bot attached to it isn't.]

Can't say I ever expected to wake up back on Cybertron. Much less one with Earth like organic growth.

[He woke up in a bunch of craters, but there was still some plants in the vicinity. But this weird floating drone had been rather useful in it's information. As much as it could give anyway. He'll take a moment to glance around him, before looking back the feed and clearing his throat.]

If anyone from my team is here, please report in.

To anyone else getting this transmission. Uh, hi. [Seriously, what else do you say to a bunch of strangers?]

Timelines are all over the board, and not just in terms of different people having different 'present' points; alternate histories are a thing that's happening.

People are doing a pretty good job of getting along, for the most part. Decepticons, Autobots, neutrals, jerks like me who are really new to all this... and oh. Important thing, that I really, really wish someone mighta mentioned to me so that it wasn't a surprise? Apparently it's possible to return from the dead here, even if you are killed here, without coming back wrong.

...so this isn't the afterlife. [Yeah, nice try, Breakdown.]

Decepticons behaving? [He almost sounds like he doesn't believe it. Honestly, the only con he's had that got along recently was Grimlock.] So Autobots, 'cons and humans all here, great. Thanks for info.

...yeah, I kinda noticed when a 'con that's been long dead in my world responded. Though that last bit should be impossible.

I would be greatly surprised and rather upset if it were.

Yeah...? [That tone wasn't entirely expecting, but Sam shrugs---half of her emergency contacts are 'cons---and continutes.] The only exception is Dirge, but there's this cooperative ongoing effort to keep him more or less in-line.

You're welcome. In addition to Cybertronians and humans, there are some other organics, and not all of them are from Earth. Earths. [She waves a hand, approximating the universal 'oh whatever you know what I mean'.] Couple of Guardians, as points in case.

It wouldn't be so surprising if it were all 'only' people pulled from before they died in common timelines, but the 'even if you're killed here' bit really threw me.

Yes well, didn't stop somebody else from trying to convince me otherwise.

Dirge? What's he look like, and what has he done to arouse such concern. [He's definitely filing this away. Somebody to be alert for.]

Huh....yeah, people keep mentioning these guardians.

[And that last bit just makes him stares.]

What? That shouldn't be possible. How is it done?

[Not too hard to guess who... if she had to guess.]

He's a teal Seeker and not to be confused with Jadewing, who is more green, and a bit blockier in his build, and much more agreeable. As for what he's done...

[yeah you're gonna love this]

Tried to kill me. Didn't do a very good job of it, but he tried.

[And she offers a crooked little smile.]

I promise I'm not reporting on resurrections from some first-hand experience---for that, you'll have to talk to Thundercracker. Now? Guardians, somehow. Before, apparently, the 'First Forged' were here and somehow able to.

[video] I'm sorry Sam, don't hate him!

[notoptimus]

[Well that's one way to kick up the policeman in him, good job Sam. He frowns deeply at that information about Dirge.]

...and he's not arrested why? Last I checked attempted murder was a crime.

[What kind of police force do you people have? Even if it failed, it was still cause for concern, right?]

First Forged? Hmmm, guess asking this Thundercracker and these Guardians is worth doing.

[video] oh he's yet to give her a reason for even mild dislike

[10_20_15_5_50]

Alternative arrangements? I can't claim I wouldn't be happy to see him arrested, but he's since been sorta muzzled. Since that'll stand as a lifelong sentence, I'm satisfied.

[She shrugs, then nods.]

I'd say so---especially since Thundercracker would be able to give you a better scoop on the First Forged, as he's who I heard most about them from in the first place.
