[Well new citizens of Abax have someone using this device without the video function shocking yes? However, if you listen carefully in the background you can make out the sound of metal moving against metal. As well as metal hitting against concrete in the pattern one would expect of footsteps.]Dark and deserted buildings, unknown location,

I have heard no one here by those names. [ He also doesn't know what an 'Autobot' is, either, and can't even begin to guess. But the noises are strange... though not entirely unfamiliar after his time in the Underworld, and its strange modern devices. He chalks it up to this, for the moment. ] I have not been here long.

[Sorry Altaïr, if you were expecting to see who was on the other side, you're out of luck. She's keeping her end as sound only. Nothing against you.]

I should have figured, there isn't enough chaos for at least Miko being here. Thanks anyway. [A slight pause.] Seems as if no one has been here long, not even a sign of how they dragged us all here.

[ It is not the first time someone has been evasive with audio to him, and it is doubtful that it is the last. He takes no heed of it, but does note it. ]

We can only hope that the lack of chaos remains. [ After all, coming from the Underworld he had seen his fair share of it. ]

I wonder who, what it might have been that brought us here at all. [ Just a musing out loud, really, a frown obvious on his features as he ponders it. ] I wonder why they hide.

Far too quiet and without a reason for me to think it will stay this way. It never stays this peaceful if there is someone pulling strings or observing everything.

[She gains an amused lilt. The type you hear when you act amused so as not to get angry or flip out.]

That's the most sought after answer here. [musing or not she still gives her theory.] If it wasn't for the lack of tracking devices on us I'd almost think we were experimental prisoners and the wardens haven't yet found a reason to gloat at us.

[isanovice]

I agree.

[ He was just as frustrated with the situation as he was; he had no cares for feeling akin to a rat trapped yet again. He was very much growing tired of being a prisoner to such places ]

It is likely only a matter of time before they do. Then perhaps we may have answers. [ But if the Underworld was anything to go by, answers were doubtful, at best. ]

Great, and likely from a place you can't shoot them. Hopefully they're a bit more creative in their speeches of superiority. [She's not going to even hope for answers really anytime soon.]

[Audio]

[isanovice]

Speeches of superiority are common where you're from?

[ He didn't recognize her voice- but perhaps she was from somewhere similar to where he'd come from; similar to the Underworld. ]

Practically anytime we end up on the battlefield. The enemy isn't exactly humble in their claims of being the ones who will be victorious.

[It's a bit sad her canon can be likened to such. I blame it all on Megatron and Starscream.]

[Audio]

[isanovice]

I see.

[ Though he does not say so, the fact that she is saying this is insightful indeed. It seems that perhaps, their places of origin were not so different. If only he knew. At the very least, they both participated in war.

What he wondered, though, was what her philosophies were; where her allegiances lay. ]

What is your name?

[Audio]

[prefer_solo_ops]

[Even if she did answer such questions, you both would likely confuse each other, especially if the talk of how her kind chooses a leader ever comes up.]

It's Arcee. Got a name yourself?

[isanovice]

Altaïr.

[ A woman who threw herself into battle was not common, and in many cases, not allowed in the time he had come from. Still, he could respect it. It took courage to stand in the heat of battle. ]
