[Hello again, Haveners.  Have this bot on your screens once more.  He seems to be sitting in the middle of the street this time, and has a similar look on his face as the last time he was on the network.]

Ah...if I could ask assistance from anyone with....really small hands, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to come to you, but I can send you my coordinates. 

.....Please hurry.

[He shivers just as the video ends.]

[He'd like to know that, but he's running on assumptions at this point. He's kinda bad about doing that.]

[There's a little nod from him, and he looks up at that question.]

I... Oh, I apologize. I should not have said anything.

[greater_than_zero]

[Maybe one day they’ll clear that up, not that it really matters here.]

No, please...I’d like to know. What kind of war? What about?

[still_learning]

[He... really doesn't want to. Something in him feels like this is him ruining something beautiful, but he'll nod and tell Zero a little about it. What he knows about it, anyway.]

I was not alive to see it, of course, but I am not sure that I any better for it. [He still remembers Drift, how much he expected of his minicons, how high a standard he held them to... How hard it was to try and meet those standards.] There is so much I do not know that I should. Maybe, more experience would make me more useful to everyone. But I do try.

[A civil war?...A four million year long...civil war....Cybertron dead for much of that?! Primus...]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I...I can’t imagine Cyberton like that... [Even seeing it so strange as it is here....isn’t like the thought of seeing it dead...]

[He gives Jetstorm a little smile.] I’m sure you’re a lot more useful than you realize. Experience wouldn’t necessarily change how useful you are, either. Never think you’re aren’t useful. Everyone is useful, and every life priceless.

[Yeah, sorry about that. He really didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but, well...]

If it is any consolation at all, there is still hope that your Cybertron will not see this. And if it does, yours may know peace again. [He just has no idea what it means to wait for six million years to see that happen.] And... thank you.

[He smiles and gives a little nod.] There’s not even a hint of war in our society right now. Surprising, sometimes, but not disappointing at all. Hopefully the political movements starting up will be enough to make sure we don’t head towards war.

....Do you know what started the war in your world?

[still_learning]

[There's a small smile out of him at that, part of it sad, part of it grateful.]

I still hope that it never happens for you. [He'll have to think on that one for a moment.] I do not remember the exact cause, but I remember it had a lot to do with that bots were unhappy with how they were being treated, and some of them finally got tired of it and brought war down upon us.

[greater_than_zero]

So do I.

[He can’t help the disturbed look on his face. That sounds uncomfortably close to the way his world is right now.] I’m sorry it came to that.
