Anyone getting this? Callin' for some assistance, here. For some reason my ship suddenly ran outta juice, and now I'm stuck in some Earth city. Also found some weird gizmo I don't recall havin' in my collection, which is what I'm using to broadcast this message. For some weird reason none of my comm. tech works, yet this thing does. I'm guessin' it's a disruptor field. A selective disruptor field, even.

Anyway, any bots in the area wanna lend me a servo? Wherever I am, it's not Detroit. Then again, all Earth cities look the same to me.

[OOC: The message actually isn't in English, but a robotic alien language. He's calling for other Transformers, so naturally he'd talk in his native language.]

Oh, you all speak that here, huh? I can work with that.

It's Cybertronian, obviously.

I've never heard of Cybertronian.

Oh. Guess that means the 'bots haven't expanded here yet.

Or it just means that the 'bots, who- or whatever that is, exactly, just haven't expanded in my home world and I haven't come across one here, yet.

Homeworld? What, don't tell me other xenos are comin' to this mudball too. Didn't know it got so popular.

Other xenos? I don't think anyone's here because this place is popular, because it isn't particularly. It's more like we don't have a choice in the matter.

Alright, let's just cut to the chase. Is this Earth or just some knockoff planet that's the sight of frequent crashings?

It's not Earth. Whether it's a 'knockoff planet' or something else entirely, I have no idea.

Been to a lot of planets in my life, and never seen one that was a copy of Earth or vise versa. What's it called?

The City. And apparently it's really just this city and the surrounding areas, not a whole planet. Or if there is a planet, it isn't accessible.

So it's a space station or somethin'? Must've had one Pit of a terraformin' budget if it's got an atmosphere.

I don't even know what a bot is. So no, sorry.

'Bout seven mecha- wait, you guys don't use that, do ya'?

[Pause, as he thinks about a good comparison.]

About the same height as one of your planet's lightpoles, give or take. Y'know, the ones used to light up streets at night.

That's what lightpole tends to refer to, yes.

[ A pause, because at this point, Eames shouldn't be surprised - even if he is perturbed. ]

What are you, exactly?

Muscle car. A relic of Earth's automobile industry. But what is a "Transformer"?

Relic? Last time I checked this alt. mode wasn't that old. Unless you're makin' a crack about my age. [Sounds a little offended.]

Another name for "Cybertronian" is what. Guess it just rolls off the glossa better and sounds more descriptive.

Forgive me. I come from 2185 CE Earth Standard. Automobiles have been replaced in large on Earth.

Nope. Haven't heard that name before. Unless the Reapers wiped you before the Protheans. Or you haven't joined galactic society yet. You look... robotic, and the only "species" that I know of that are sentient are the Reaper and the Geth. That, and that one species who digitized their entire civilization.

2185? ...You're pulling my leg, aren't you?

Was never much of a history bot, but I think I'd know if we got wiped out by these "Reapers". Also, the closest thing to "galactic society" is a few planets that stay in touch with each other once in a while. Dunno what a Geth is, either.

No. No reason to do so.

Hmm. Is possible that there's no Mass Relay to your region of the galaxy. Could explain it. Do you know of the Mass Relays?

Geth. A collective group of AI which gained sentience via the networking of their collective programs. Threw their creators off their own homeworld after they tried to reprogram the Geth back into lack of sentience. Their general physical form is notable for their lightbulb-like head.

So, what, you're a time traveller? [He finds that pretty unlikely.]

Mass Relay? That sounds like an early draft name for the Space Bridges.

Still not ringin' a bell. Can't say I blame 'em though.

No. Apparently this place draws things from anywhere and everywhere. Time, place, reality.

Hmm. Will have to compare notes on this. Space Bridges. Will need to surpass the Reaper's technology one day.

Wouldn't worry about it then. Is possible that we're from different realities entirely.

...Yeah, sure.

Only got some basic knowledge of Space Bridges. I'm not exactly an expert on them.

Is fine. Am a physician, not a physicist. My knowledge of the Mass Relays isn't perfect either. Just wish to know the basics behind it.

Nothing. Interested in the idea. Wouldn't mind having a disconnect from the Mass Relays.

[Yes, he did figure out how to make it unhackable already. This thing isn't that complex and he's tech savvy.]

Right, basically a Space Bridge is a large, forked structure with two prongs. The actual portal looks like a ball of energy. It uses a transwarp drive, and I'm a little fuzzy on the other tech details.

Only used 'em a few times, but they get good distance. A few lightyears at most.
