[TEXT][encrypted: to Autobots][URGENT]

Aug 27, 2011 11:19

I just spent the last 23.5 Earth hours filling out questionnaires, had a tag bolted on me, and been booted to 'Zone 3', whatever that is.

I just have one question: what the frag is going on!?

Actually, I have one other question: anybody got a place I can recharge? I need to defrag after that nightmare.

[Que squints at the picture for a moment. The specifics are a little different, but the general outline is highly recognizable.]

Bumblebee! They got you do, eh, lad?

Que? Que! Wait a moment.

[Setting up video. Give him a second. It's giving him just a little trouble.]

[And hello, Que, he's still a '76 Camero and shows it but he's so excited to see you. Have some text to go with the image.]

I haven't seen you since leaving Cybertron! How are you?

[Que can't help but grin. The younger Autobot's enthusiasm is contagious.]

As well as can be expected, I suppose, for having wound up here.

I can imagine. Drowning in fragged RAM at the moment. You probably have to do a 1-gig form to vent your waste.

[He knows it's more serious. He doesn't know any details. But he won't be talking about it over a comm with a relatively weak encryption.]

[Que nods thoughtfully, trying to recall some of what Bumblebee told him about the Autobots first encounters on Earth. But 'bee's joke gets a laugh out of him.]

I rather suppose you do. Bureaucrats. Never fun, whether human or Transformer.

Jetfire believes they substitute paperwork for war. I'd say they exhaust the mechs too much to fight!

Anyway, I'm on my way to meet up with Wheeljack. Do you know him? It seems he's friends with Ratchet.

Indeed I do! I recently had the pleasure of working with him on some weapon-repairs. Good lad. He'll do quite right by you.

Good to hear. Never hurts to get some corroboration.

With all this talk about repairs, I wanted to run by you and Ratchet: what's the chances I can get my vocalization processors repaired here? I'm sure I'll do penance in paperwork for years, but I think it's worth it.

Certainly a possibility, lad. The technology here's quite a few steps above our own...

Let me guess: we don't technically have access to it.

Yes... and no. There's certainly some technology available to us "offworlders" as it were, but nothing truly native. But I certainly wouldn't be ruling out getting you up and running.

I'd be highly interested in getting hold of that, needless to say! Thanks for the info.

Happy to oblige you, Bumblebee! After your repairs are seen too, you'll contact the rest of us again, I hope?

Of course! Why wouldn't I?

[He's incredulous. See his wide optics? You're his friends!]

[Que smiles.]

Simply making sure, lad.

Is there a reason I wouldn't? Has that happened before?

[So much concern. Now he's worried.]
