Little 'Bots

A door opens and two small Cybertronians run through, only to stop short as they realize that they aren't where they expected to be

-No, but I heard these things can help,- Varek blinked, then offered them a PIN device.

[random_xtras]

Another funny looking critter! Even Nova's optics are a little wide now as the blue being wordlessly holds out a little electronic thing.

Varek sighed. No telepathy. That only left....

He slowly and painfully morphed, then feel to his butt, breathing heavily and rubbing his temples. He hated being human.

"Sorry," he said, voice slow and sturdy. "I tried to say, this will help you get home," he offered the PIN again.

And both sparklings are staring at him with abject, open mouthed amazement.

Please forgive them, Varek. They're only new.

[another_phace]

Varek sighed, then dropped his hand. Giving them a moment to recoup he shrugged. "I'm sorry. My people can shift organic forms. The blue being you saw is my original body, but I can only communicate telepathically when I'm in it, but you apparently cannot hear it. I had to morph into this human form to communicate with you."

"Oh," says Starforge, hugging his sister, who is frowning again. "Uh... we just got outta the tanks...."

"So everything's new," finishes Nova, still looking at Varek warily.

[another_phace]

"Oh. Right. Well... you're those Cybertronian kind, right? The other robots change shape and transform, I'm just an organic who can do the same," he said. "And don't fear, even if I were mean, this whole place is protected by an Anti-Violence Field. That means nobody can hurt you, even if they try they'll be stopped."

Two heads nod in response to his first question, then tilt as the twins concentrate on the rest of what he's saying.

"Good," says Nova, brightening slightly.

[another_phace]

"Yeah," Varek nodded. Then he frowned. "Do you have parents or guardians that will be looking for you?"

[random_xtras]

"Mama...." Starforge nods, his chin trembling just a tiny bit.

"Our creator," explains Nova. "She just got us today, and she won't want us to be lost."

[another_phace]

"I can help you program these PINs to take you back to your home," Varek offered. Normally he didn't like the big, pushy robots that hung around here, but he could symphasize with these little lost ones. Plus, they seemed afraid of him. He'd never experienced that before with aliens, but he found he didn't like it.

[random_xtras]

"Why?" Nova wants to know as she absently pats her brother's arms.

[another_phace]

"Well.... this isn't your world. I mean, your mother probably won't be able to find you if you stay here," he said. "But these devices can take you home whenever you like."

[random_xtras]

"No. Why are you helping us?" she clarifies as her brother gives her a funny look.

[another_phace]

"It... it's what my Prince would want me to do," he said, frowning deeply. "Besides... you look like you could use it."

[random_xtras]

She mirrors his frown, the expression looking slightly out of place. Personality programming is warning her to be wary, but her personal experience can't see any reason why she should doubt the being's words.

Then sparkling curiosity asserts itself. "What's a prince?"
