General introductions appear to be in order.

I'm Bumblebee, an Autobot. [Should he give the whole speech? Optimus was always so much better at those things, he sounded so official and regal and stuff. Oh well, he probably should.] I'm a robotic autonomous inorganic organism from the planet Cybertron, and...

...I come in peace. [Ff that was

Fascinating.

[Guy cannot wait to do Buddy Time with you and figure out what makes you tick, Bee.]

Ah, I mean, welcome aboard, haha!

No signals here I'm afraid, it's just little old us.

[Searching, searching, searching...oh, this dude's a crew member.]

You're part of the crew, Mr. Mann?

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

[Well that's a cute trick.]

Ah, doctor, actually. But call me Guy, we're all buddies here.

[soldierbee]

Doctor Guy, then.

I know you probably get this very often, but do you mind if I ask you a few questions? I'll do my best to make them interesting.

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

Just Guy.

Shoot! I'll tell you what I can, kiddo.

[K-Kiddo...]

What would happen if I were to fall overboard?

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

[Yes, kiddo. There's the sound of Guy tapping his pen against the desk.]

Hopefully, the system would catch you and bring you back.

[soldierbee]

"System?"

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

Ah yes, the system. The Captain -- he's a great man, you know -- has a system to bring people back from death. It's not foolproof though, sometimes a few unlucky ones slip through the net.

[Back from the dead. ...Mikaela had mentioned something about Megatron coming back. The human equivalent of an All Spark?

...it warranted investigation, but not here and not with this guy. Bumblebee didn't want to push his luck.]

That's convenient.

I've noticed something strange; I'm usually around sixteen feet tall, but once I woke up here I was only around eight. Do you know why this is?

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

Oh it is, isn't it?

Ah yes, that would be ah, for convenience.

[Guy's reading your file while he talks, Bee.]

You're a little larger than most of our passengers, so the Captain worked his magic on you. Does that bother you?

[soldierbee]

[Bumblebee immediately shrugs off the term "magic" in favor for "a science yet unexplained."]

It's a little unnerving, but I can adapt. I suppose that's why my weapons are offline as well?

[Audio]

[crazyforcrazies]

Hmm, I see. Well perhaps I should pencil you in for a session ...

[There's some scribbling over the comm.]

Ah, yes. The Captain confiscates all weaponry upon boarding.

[soldierbee]

Understandable.

Then I imagine violence of any kind is also prohibited. What if I were to start something in order to protect another person, or in self-defense?
