The gue'la....the humans here. Why are they not resentful or fearful of me? They don't even ask for help from their corpse god.

Lusha, where am I and why is it like this? Are these the ones who have the Ethereal? Lusha, should I just kill them all?

...Lusha? Lusha?? Something must be distorting the signal but you have to help me

Humans here see a lot of weird slag, doubt you're the strangest thing they've seen all month.

[greatergone]

Humans...here? Where is here? Dolumar IV?

[ruthless_hunter]

Some pocket dimension called The City.

[greatergone]

Pocket dimension...

...who are you? Why are you on this channel? You are no Shas'el.

[ruthless_hunter]

Name's Lockdown, and I just felt the need to get some of the obvious questions outta the way. Also, damn right I'm not a Shas'el, whatever that is.

[greatergone]

Shas'el. What is the human term? A cadre....the leader of a group of soldiers in a larger group of soldiers. That is a Shas'el.

But how you spoke of humans earlier. That means you are not human?

[ruthless_hunter]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not one'a those.

Nope, I'm a Cybertronian.

[greatergone]

You will have to forgive me as I am not part of the Water Caste. Dealing with new species is not part of my skills.

[ruthless_hunter]

"Water Caste"? Ahem, well, all you really need to know is that I'm one-hundred percent mechanical, and if you're typical meatbag size, you barely come half-way up to my knee.

[greatergone]

They do....diplomacy.

But if you are as you say, that is...good to know. Machines are not prone to being irrational.

[ruthless_hunter]

Oh, those types.

Hm... that's right, we're not. [At least as far as this alien guy is concerned. If he'd only met some of the dumber Transformers...]

[greatergone]

...I am a Tau from the planet T'au.

[ruthless_hunter]

...Seriously? [How creative~] Was the planet named after you guys or was it the other way around?

[greatergone]

It is our birth planet but we span a large part of the galaxy.

[ruthless_hunter]

Is that so?

[greatergone]

Not as much as humans but our people are still young in comparison.
