[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?

Yeah, the time is different on Cybertron. Frankly I'm surprised you organics are able to live here at all.

I don't think I've really stopped being surprised since I got here; it's just become a new baseline.

[Maybe an exaggeration? But not by much. Dragons. Plural. Still, Sam shrugs off the musing.]

It's not like I had any real idea of what I'd be in for, but I've got to admit it's a lot more comfortable than what I would've expected, for being stranded on an alien planet.

Yeah, well...if this were the Cybertron I knew, you'd not be able to breathe.

Mon ostie de sain' sacramen'.

[Well.]

What a way to go that woulda been, to say nothing of 'too soon!'

Re: [action]

[He smirks, amused.]

Yeah, this breathing thing you organics do is a big deal, huh?

[action]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Yyyeah. Anything interfering with it really doesn't end well. At all. And even the stuff that's not necessarily life-threatening is really unpleasant to endure.

[She crosses her hands twice in emphasis. Nobody wants to deal with respiratory irritants. NOBODY.]

...next question?

Re: [action]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He gives a little shrug.] I'd never really thought of asking questions of humans before.

[action]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Well, you're welcome to. At least of this one, though I don't think any of the others around would mind... and many of those others would be able to provide you with more information about this place than me. I've only seen so much, so far, so.

[It is what it is, so she shrugs herself.]

Re: [action]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He gives another shrug.]

You have...questions for me? [Maybe her asking something would help him sort out his head and pick something to ask.]

[action]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Actually, yeah.

Since organic people wouldn't last long enough to meet on your Cybertron, where were you meeting humans previously? An Earth, or... elsewhere?

Re: [action]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He nods.] Earth. We ended up on Earth most recently. Chasing energon deposits. [And more, but he doesn’t want to get into that with her.]

[action]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Were you there very long?

Re: [action]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[shrugs] Couple years according to the locals.
