Pardon me, everyone. I...am having a bit of trouble, currently, and have a query to pose. I hope I might solicit some advice ( Read more... )

[For once, a video broadcast by Temeraire actually opens on an image of the giant dragon, although it quickly becomes apparent that it's a reflected one. He's looking at himself in a massive mirror set in a gilded frame. It's so big it requires two humans to hold it up ( Read more... )

[A rare video post from Temeraire! ...It's not that interesting. In fact, it's a dragon's eye view of...a bunch of utensils, laid out on what looks like a bamboo mat. It's not until Temeraire's forelegs come into the image--he appears to be settling himself down, although it's probably hard to tell what he's doing unless you've seen him in ( Read more... )

[Hi, have a GIANT YELLOW OPTIC all up in the camera, before it pulls back to show a Jetfire.]

Brother!  Brooootherrrrr!  You must be coming quickly!  The hexopodly things are having their 'hatching!'

[He turns the camera to point at two rather tiny eggs, both shaking and rocking back and forth.  Hatching is eminent!]

[There is a reason that Temeraire doesn't video post much, and it's mostly because he's aware that the video is...well, what his eyes see, and that kind of freaks him out. He still can't entirely control the cyberneural interface that Shockwave gave him, though, especially when he's stressed, so ( Read more... )

[The comm clicks on after it's been dropped, spinning around until it's pointing straight up. Off camera, J seems like he's having a pretty bad day. Or maybe days?]

Ow, ow, the hell did I do last night ( Read more... )

[Hey, here's something we haven't seen from Temeraire in a while--a video post! He's been communicating primarily through voice as he comes to terms with his interface, which he's been managing quite handily. (The boy's got a learning curve!) His control isn't great, though, particularly not if his emotions are running high...

( See Temeraire. See Temeraire lose his temper! )

[The image flickers a couple of times as it comes on, blanking in and out, the colors fuzzy and out of focus. The flickering stops, the image sharpens, moves--the point of view of the 'camera' lifting rapidly, swinging from side to side. Weird behavior for a stationary or handheld camera, but not weird at all for, say, something mounted on a long ( Read more... )

[She looks kind of like she does in the icon.]

Optimus.

If you expect me to be civil to these organics that crawl this city, then I suggest you keep them on some sort of leash. I severely dislike being tampered with, as you well know. His dark designs - they run rampant even here--

If it happens again, I claim no responsibility for further actions ( Read more... )

This is unacceptable.

[The voice is rigid and formal, and tinged with a strange accent. The speaker sounds composed but strained, as well as laced with suspicion. She is examining the device and as she does so the Nexus gets its first glimpse of Princess Zelda. As she begins to figure out how to use the device (which doesn't take long, she's rather ( Read more... )
