[Have a view of someone in a military uniform, showing a few scorch marks and maybe a bullet graze or two, standing not far away from Central Processing, fiddling with settings until he was content with what he saw on the comm screen.]

Can't say I've heard of the vessel, but you have my sympathies. There are a few people around here who could probably offer you a berth- I got one my first night or so from one of the medical 'bots, myself.

Captain Roger Maxson, formerly United States Army. Pleasure to meet you.

UEO Navy. I should probably be saluting you, huh? [He smiled.] Thanks for the answer, sir. This would be a lot weirder if I'd not been... almost used to it. So some of these... giant robots offer beds now and then?

Since I've never heard of the UEO either, I don't think I need to enforce any kind of protocol. The one named Ratchet is the Autobots' chief medical officer. He had a clinic with a few human-sized beds standing idle.

I'm starting to think that if I'm going to be stuck here, I might as well get a loan and open a hostel for newcomers until they find proper living quarters. I take it things are on the peculiar side back home?

[all_three_wskrs]

Well, depends on what you consider home.

[He was looking around himself at that point.]

I just came out of a battle on a planet called Hyperion. The aliens stole our submarine with us in it and conscripted us into their war. No idea how many of my friends are dead because of that stunt. But I know that if I'd not been pulled here when I was, I'd be one of them.

Another soldier. There's a pattern here...

We just had an earthquake, and more than a few buildings were damaged or destroyed. Pretty sure there's a few places around here that are taking people in, but I don't know where any of them are. I'd try Zone 2, or 5.

[all_three_wskrs]

[Of all the things he'd seen, he hadn't expected to see that. He took a second to collect himself before speaking.]

I'd heard about the earthquake, but I'm still getting used to the whole 'zone' thing. I'm guessing the zones count down?

[Video]

[governorkang]

[Yeah, he's gotten used to that reaction. :|]

They do. If I were you, I wouldn't go any further than Zone 6, and I'd find some kind of weapon to carry around at all times, just in case.

[Hey, at least he got over it.]

I'm used to weaponry. Is it that ba-- I mean, when there's not an earthquake, is it that bad around here?

[greasemunkygal]

Nope, never heard of it...know how it feels to be randomly jerked here, though. Sucks.

I'm uh, Mikaela.

[all_three_wskrs]

Hey, Mikaela. I'd... probably be more broken up about getting pulled here if I hadn't seen enemy fire coming right toward me before I appeared back there.

[He jerked a thumb at the building behind him.]

You wouldn't happen to know of a place, even in all this... uh. "Disarray" sounds like a good word. That I could catch a nap, do you?

[greasemunkygal]

...Wow. Glad you're uh...okay, then. [Doesn't matter who you are, getting shot at sucks.]

Ah...hmm. Normally, I'd totally offer you my shop but....right now, you'd like...have to nap on a workbench or the floor. [And she doesn't know where the Autobots are staying.]

[all_three_wskrs]

I figure it'd be ... something like that. I mean, with all the earthquake stuff going on. Wait, are you sleeping on workbenches?
