[Cybertronian encryption]
This is Ratchet. Who else hails from Cybertron on this ship?

[Open voice]
How many here woke up organic? I've made a perusal of the activity on the network already and I am quite curious.

[Ratchet? That...that is not good.]

[But this encryption is just different enough from what he was used to that maybe...]

[But Ratchet was always prone to experimenting.]

[How to deal with this. How to...Think of what made Cliffjumper different, Heatwave. Hold it together.]

What insignia do you wear and what color is it?

[Cybertronian Encryptian] [Audio]

[hummerdoc]

The Autobot sigil in red, of course.

[Cybertronian Encryptian] [Audio]

[babbletechno]

[Would Ratchet have known about Cliffjumper's insignia? Did Cliffjumper ever meet Ratchet?]

[Would Ratchet even care about pretending?]

[His next words come after a pause.]

I am Heatwave.

[Cybertronian Encryptian] [Audio]

[hummerdoc]

I am not familiar with the designation.

[hummerdoc]

Not quite what I was looking for, but thank you. I meant human or other organic sentient species.

[hummerdoc]

Not many would want the option.

[Ratchet? Something niggles in his mind that this is not right somehow, but he doesn't really recall why. Though the encryption does not seem fully familiar and that's enough to cause alarm bells. Damn this organic body.]

How are we to be certain you are actually the designation you claim to own? You could be a trap to lead others into a false sense of security and thus when face to face enact your plan.

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio]

[hummerdoc]

I have not heard of a Decepticon who would willingly claim to be an Autobot.

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio]

[pretendernoia]

[There's a bit of incoherent sputtering for a moment there.]

Spies can be anywhere and claim to be anything if it gets them what they want. They have no qualms in pretending to be an ally before stabbing you in the back!

[Cybertronian Encryption //Audio]

[hummerdoc]

The 'Cons I know of prefer to shoot you in the front before wasting the effort on backstabbing. Unless one is Starscream, of course.

[This guy sounds just a little bit excited at the possibility of not being alone in his plight.]

Ooh, Me. I did! You know, just...floating about, minding my own business, when bam, welcome to your squishy new body. Did we mention you are both inefficient and flammable?

Not a fan of it, to be honest. Could have warned us.

[Audio]

[hummerdoc]

Quite. You say floating? You did not use legs in your proper body?

Re: [Audio]

[fourpartplan]

Ah, not quite. No arms, no legs--decidedly limbless. Didn't actually float, though. Used a rail for all that...getting around. Useful thing, really. Sort of miss it.

Floating would have been useful too, now that I think about it. Maybe some kind of...hovering implement...jetpack...kind of object.

But, hey, that's all you really can do, when you're orbiting the Moon, isn't it? Just...float about. Contemplate, too, I suppose, if you're the contemplative sort.

[Audio]

[hummerdoc]

Fascinating. Ah, may I ask what your function was while orbiting the Moon? I am assuming you meant Earth's Moon of course?

[dontgethit]

'Woke up organic?' Can you elaborate on that?

[TEXT]

[hummerdoc]

I was not human before I woke up on this ship. I am of an entirely different species.

[TEXT]

[dontgethit]

I'm sorry but this is a strange concept to me. Which species were you before this?

[TEXT]

[hummerdoc]

An inorganic one.
