[video]

[The little drone is looking down on a rather beat up looking blue mech. His red faceplate is marred by a huge hole where his left optic should be. The mists are still fading around him. After a moment his limbs twitch, and then he's surging upright and to his feet with a roar.]

[He stops, completely shocked by his surroundings. He's among graves. Simple stones marked with names ranging from clearly Cybertronian to more Human. Turning a slow circle he spots the drone and frowns.]

What the scrap is going on here?

[It isn't like she can help. But Maya responds to the video anyway, because the man looks hurt. And in a graveyard. Did he come out of one of those graves? Could robots be zombies? Was that possible?]

Um... are you... all right?

[That was probably a better question to ask than if he was alive, right?]

[He starts to growl, but when he spots the face on the drone's screen he pauses.]

I'm fine.

[It's...not as much of a growl as he normally would have given.]

[Maya looked skeptical. And she bit her lip. Maybe arguing with the giant robot wasn't the best of ideas... but it couldn't be any worse then when Nick had argued with the parrot.]

You do know you have a big hole in your head... right?

[Maya Fey, Captain of the Obvious.]

I know that, human! [Oops, there's that growl. Sorry, Maya.]

What do you want? Do you know how I got here?

[Okay, that is definitely an Eep, and Maya takes a step or two back from the video screen.]

Doesn't it hurt?

[Once she had determined that the growly robot man wasn't going to leap through the video screen and stomp on her, she took a few deep breaths. This whole place was more than a little crazy. So he was new too? And apparently hadn't listened to his little robot buddy's little history lesson.]

The same way I did, I'd imagine. Through that nasty black-purple mist stuff.

...Not right now, no. [he seems a little awkward answering that.]

[Nope. Nope he got up, and was answered by people. He's not had a chance to grill his drone for answers yet.]

Mist stuff? [He looks around but doesn't see any.

Miasma. It brings you here, and no one knows why.

[That was accompanied with wiggly fingers and an exaggerated eye roll from Maya.]

At least that's what my little flying robot buddy said. I asked it about a jillion questions once I woke up. Most of the answers still didn't make much sense.

[She paused, biting her lip then.]

Um... how can you have a hole where your eye is supposed to be and that doesn't hurt? Has it been like that for awhile? [That would make slightly more sense.]

[How to be grumpy Con at a human girl who's being nice to him? He's not entirely sure.]

The drone told you that? Hm... [he'll have to question his, maybe he could make it make sense.]

My...pain receptors have been disabled.

The little robot told me lots of stuff. But like I said, most of the answers didn't make much sense. Like it told me we're on Cybertron, but... that doesn't give me much of a point of reference aside from letting me know I'm a long way from home.

[Maya shrugged. She was trying not to freak out about being a million miles from home, with no way to get back, no way to call anyone, and in a city full of robots. Though that last part wasn't too bad, so far.]

I'm Maya, by the way. What's your name? And pain receptors being turned off or not, we should try to find you a doctor.

[Were there robot doctors? Well... that made about as much sense as anything else she'd run into today. And robot doctors were a much less creepy idea than the idea of robot zombies.]

[He looks shocked and looks around at this...place.] Cybertron...

[He looks back at the drone, frowning, but...she's just repeating what she was told.]

Breakdown. And yeah. I'll...find a doctor.

I don't know if there's a doctor in the main city. I would think there would be. The city is called Haven, according to the little robot, who I really need to name. What would be a good name for one of these things?

[Maya looks to Breakdown, and offers him a smile, as if he knows the perfect name for a cute robot buddy.]

I don't know how long it will take me to get to the central city, otherwise I'd offer to meet up with you. I woke up in a lake. I mean, I've trained under freezing cold waterfalls, so this wasn't anything too new, but this whole place something a bit outside the realm of my experience. Just... be careful... okay?

[He might be a little growly, but Breakdown seemed pretty okay. And considering the circumstances, Maya honestly couldn't blame him for being growly.]

I'm....sure there is.

[And then he's gaping at this smiling human expecting him to name her drone.] Uhhh...we...don't usually...name drones...

[Dammit, this is so awkward.]

Just get yourself to a hospital, okay?

[She shakes her head a little. They don't name drones. Don't they have pets or cute sidekicks or anything where he's from? Whatever.]

And I mean it. Be careful, Breakdown. I could try and check in on you later through the little robot drone if that's okay?

[If she could figure out how to get it to call him. After all, pain receptors or not, he still had a hole in his head, and that wasn't any good at all. What if he leaked fluid everywhere? What if he got hurt worse and didn't feel it? She'd offer to take him Fey Family Chicken Soup... but she didn't know if there were chickens on this crazy world, or if robots even ate food.]

[He nods, but then he's gaping at her.]

A-ah.....okay.

[Congratulations, Maya, you just fried her processor.]

[So... you broke a Decepticon's brain by being nice to them? Man, good thing no one ever told the Autobots about that, or the war would have ended a long time ago...]

Are you all right? You look... confused or something.

[Basic concern wasn't that hard to comprehend, was it? And they were all stuck here together. No sense making enemies if you didn't have to... right?]

I'm fine. [He looks away.] It's...just been a weird day.

[Seriously, he must be dead or something. Someone managed a cheap shot and he's actually dead.]

Weird doesn't even begin to cover it, but I know what you mean.

[She shook her head. She'd been meditating in Kurain before ending up here.]

Go get yourself looked at. I'll look you up once we both reach civilization, I guess. Try not go get hurt any worse!

[He eyes her again.] Right.

...Thanks. [Scrap this is a weird day.]

You...stay safe too. [His processor must be friend.]

You're welcome.

[It wasn't exactly normal for Maya either. Breakdown was the first giant robot that she'd ever met.]

I will. I'll try to catch up with you later... all right?

[That said, she spares him the awkwardness of prolonging the conversation any longer, and breaks the connection. Of course, Maya, being Maya, didn't ask him for any way to contact him or anything. Oops.]
