[Heatwave's first post opens with him talking excitedly and very fast, as though worried that if he doesn't blurt this out immediately he'll forget it. He keeps alternating between clipped briefness like he's trying to give a mission report and...well...babbling.]

[So it's like he's trying to give a really bad mission report.]

This Stellar Spanner sounds like the Gate...

[audio] babbletechno December 15 2011, 17:33:04 UTC

The Gate? Do you know how it works?

Re: [audio] soulbonder December 16 2011, 06:04:39 UTC

No... I just know it acts as gateway between universes.

[audio] babbletechno December 16 2011, 16:18:11 UTC

[that has his attention]

Actual universes, not just time and space in the same universe? Is it a common method of transportation in your world? Were you using it at the time? [but that's probably too much to hope for]

[Well this was an interesting theory to hear while combing through the device for information. This really would take someone like Perceptor and Wheeljack to figure ou-

Wait a minute...did he really just say? Did that Blitz mean what he thinks it means?]

What do you mean it was the Autobots?

[That was a bit high pitch at the end there, but it's deserved because he was talking to a Decepticon.]

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio] babbletechno December 15 2011, 17:36:41 UTC

[Oh, right. He never told you his allegiance, did he?]

[Heatwave doesn't sound very concerned about this as he nods an affirmation Red Alert can't see. Not near enough concerned, oh Heatwave.]

Yes. I am a Decepticon. The Autobots aren't good mechs in my world.

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio] pretendernoia December 15 2011, 17:59:37 UTC

[No, no you did not. Which would have at least showed Heatwave to avoid this particular Cybertronian with everything he has.]

I..you...you didn't think that was important to know!?

I gave intel to someone that might want to kill me. I showed weakness to you. Oh Primu--

[The number you are attempting to dial is currently fumbling and barricading himself into his closet. Please hang up and try again when he's high on tranquilizers.]

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio] babbletechno December 15 2011, 18:14:42 UTC

Why-

[And then Red's signal falls off the network. Heatwave pauses, hesitates, then tentatively tries to re-establish a connection whether Red's comm wants it or not. He understands being afraid of the enemy, but Heatwave's not and he can't leave Red Alert panicking somewhere.]

Hey. Come on. You have me outnumbered anyway, right? I'm not going to hurt anyone.

[Pause. There's someone on the other end of the line, judging from the faint static.]

...what?

Voice babbletechno December 15 2011, 21:22:03 UTC

Is something wrong?

Voice walksonrooftops December 15 2011, 21:23:50 UTC

What are you even talking about?

Voice babbletechno December 15 2011, 21:34:28 UTC

The last thing I remember before I got here. There have been a few people trying to figure out a way back. The method of transportation I was talking about sounded similar to their original ideas, so I thought it might help whatever scientists are exploring this.

So you could have intercepted another space/time rip in the process.

voice; babbletechno December 15 2011, 22:51:10 UTC

That's what I think. If something similar was happening on this end, it could have tricked the Spanner.

voice; in_three December 16 2011, 00:41:30 UTC

That could explain how you got here.

But it doesn't help with anyone who was doing regular, every day things.

[but Jim is becoming more and more convinced it's because of singularities that they're all here.]

voice; babbletechno December 16 2011, 01:09:03 UTC

Maybe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Something in their universe might have aligned just right and been triggered by whatever happened here.

[Cybertronian Encryption // Audio // Not Hackable] hummerdoc December 16 2011, 00:51:14 UTC

Primus. I could have told you that! We're going to have to find his aft. And by Stellar Spanner, you mean space bridge?

[Cybertronian Encryption // Audio // Not Hackable] babbletechno December 16 2011, 01:07:11 UTC

[Hey. He's not the one outnumbered here.]

I didn't think he'd react that badly. I don't think he moved far. Any idea where his quarters are?

If a Space Bridge operates the same way, probably. I haven't heard it called that, though.

[Cybertronian Encryption // Audio // Not Hackable] hummerdoc December 16 2011, 01:45:52 UTC

He's high strung. I was hoping it wouldn't have happened this soon.

[he hums]

If I am correct, then the numbers we have engraved in our flesh would possibly correspond to quarters. We did have lockers with our numbers. I'll stop by medbay and find some tranquilizers. I'm afraid that is the only way to calm him down enough to make him functional.

It is supposed to work that way. The technology was too new to be tested properly, but that is a moot point as the inventor perished with it while escaping Cybertron during the final battle on the planet.

[Cybertronian Encryption // Audio // Not Hackable] babbletechno December 16 2011, 02:00:09 UTC

Probably a good thing. I didn't like that machine.

[Rude guy, and way too stubborn for its own good.]

Are you sure sedating a human is a good idea? [IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY, DOC?] If you know his number, I can go keep an eye on his door. Make sure he doesn't go anywhere.
