[There are some mechanical chirping over the network before the video comes on, and all one sees is a robo firelizard's face feeling the screen. Then what is a familiar voice to some speaks up.]

Charmer, get away from that.

[The firelizard chirps and gets away from the drone and Rose comes into view before the lizard flies over to perch on her shoulder.]

It looks like this thing is working again.

[That's a bit of relief.]

How long was I away?

[And since there may be new faces since she was last here...]

For those who do not know me, I am Rose.

Also, I would like to know how one would go about joining the Police Force here.

[Maya was really glad to see another person her size. That was a plus. And that little... robot... lizard thing was just too cute!]

Hi! I'm Maya. I can't really answer your question about how long you've been gone, since I just got here myself.

[There's a bit of an apologetic smile at that.]

Sorry about that. Also, where'd you get the little guy? He's so neat! And so cute!

[Video]

[originaldragoon]

[Rose gives a bit of a nod.]

That is alright. It is still good to meet you, Maya.

[At the mention of being called cute, Charmer chirps happily and spread his wings to show off. Oh yeah, he's awesome! Rose gives a soft laugh and pets his head to calm him down.]

The little guy is Charmer. Before when I first arrived on this Cybertron I was on another one that was much younger. One of the non native Cybertronians built several of them to give to the other refugees.

[cutejustice]

From one Cybertron to another, huh? Well this is my first time on any Cybertron and it's really different than where I'm from.

[Maya smiled and waved at the little lizard.]

Well, Charmer there seems to be a lot more helpful than my little drone that it seems like everyone has. I'mtrying to come up with a name for him regardless.

[Because of course little robot buddies needed names. Even if they weren't as cute as Charmer there.]

So... where did you end up when you left here?

[Video]

[originaldragoon]

That is just it, I have no memory of where I ended up after I was taken from here. I just have a sense that some time had passed.

[Video]

[cutejustice]

[Maya seems to almost deflate a little at that news.]

Oh. So it wasn't like you got to go home or anything? Geez. This place sucks.

[video]

[atjackisback]

So is getting de-kidnapped from here and re-kidnapped normal?

[This place suuuuuucked]

Oh. Uh. I'm Raiden.

[video]

[originaldragoon]

[Rose is a little taken aback by the man's appearance. She's never seen someone who is part machine like him. But she gets over it quickly.]

I would not say I was "de-kidnapped," as I have no memory of what happened when I was taken from here. Just a sense that I have been gone for some time now.

Before I disappeared, I was no here long enough to get an idea of what is considered "normal."

[video]

[atjackisback]

[Raiden grinned a bit at the feed, because he could. He stopped, though, when Rose explained things.]

Awesome. This place gets better and better.

[video]

[originaldragoon]

[She gives a bit of a shrug.]

At least this Cybertron is friendlier to those of flesh and blood. Before the first time I arrived here, I was on another Cybertron that was much younger and not ideal for those who were not mechanical to live in.

[video]

[atjackisback]

Freaky.

[Nope, not happy at all to hear that. Planets in the habit of kidnapping people? What. Even.]

So since you've been here a while... anything else to that whole story about goop and maybe-we'll-send-you-home-when-we-figure-this-out the flying roomba gave me? Say, the unauthorized version?

I don't mind helping somebody in a pinch, but I was in the middle of something back home.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Rose? Nice to meet you. I'm Sam. Sorry I can't really answer your questions, but the fact I've been here... almost two months already, and we're just now crossing paths says something.

[originaldragoon]

So I have been away for at least two months....

[Well that is a bit disturbing. Especially since she has yet to see a familiar face.]

Thank you for that information, Sam.

[10_20_15_5_50]

You're welcome.

How long were you here, when you were here before?

[originaldragoon]

I think I was here almost two months. I went to explore more of this Cybertron. Things went blank while I was around the very edge of Haven.

[10_20_15_5_50]

Frick but that's more than a little worrisome.

[At least this lady made it back, but missing time is some ominous stuff.]

Seems like you and I are in the same boat---or are almost.

[video]

[knight_light]

Rose. [He's happy to see you, girl!]

It's been a few months. Glad to see you back and safe.

[video]

[originaldragoon]

[Oh thank Soa! A familiar face! Rose is relieved.]

Hello Wing, it is good to see you again.

What happened since I was gone?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[He smiles.]

Not too much since Galos vanished. It's been...well, quiet. New arrivals, did some exploring. I can't complain.

[video]

[originaldragoon]

Well that is some comfort. Seems like this place does not have as many strange events as our previous home did.

[not_a_ghost]

Welcome back.

As for joining the police force, you'll want to head to the headquarters in South. I'm sure the Chief will welcome you.

[originaldragoon]

Right, thank you.

And you are?

[not_a_ghost]

Sirrah. I'm one of the Guardians.

[She'll give a little nod of her head.]

[originaldragoon]

[She gives a bit of a nod.]

It is good to meet you Sirrah. Thank you for the information.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Rose! Where have you been? Are you all right? Do you need a pick-up?

[Judging from the background, the Seeker is probably in his quarters. There's excited chirping in the background too, until four heads come peeking around the communicator into view. squawking and murmuring at both Rose and Charmer.]

[Video]

[originaldragoon]

[Charmer chirps happily when the other firelizards come into view. Yay! His playmates!

[Rose give a bit of a smile. It is good to see the Seeker again.]

I am fine Thundercracker. As to where I was, I have no memory of that, just a sense that I have been away for some time.
