knowhere | [ 001 - Hologram] What's big, pink and smells like....strawberries?

[There's apparently a lot of giant robots around here. This one's looking a little out-of-sorts though, and it's pretty clear why, when he holds up--or attempts to--a very large wiggly semi-transparent pink cube. Give him a break okay: it's quite slippery, given its gelatinous state.]

Uh. Does anyone...want this? I bought it in the marketplace. I thought it was, ya know, something I could eat. Apparently it's for organics though. [Don't ask how Drift knows this. A medical diagnostic might be on his to-do list though.] And apparently non-returnable now.

[He has no idea what organics would do with such a large quantity of 'strawberry jello' or why it has any right masquerading in the form of an energon cube, but oh well, lesson learned. Drift sets it down before it nearly slips from his hot little fingers, (nevermind the squelching noise please) and pulls out an energon ration pouch, the pink liquid inside sloshing around as he holds it up.]

I am looking for more of this though. It's our fuel, and trust me when I say it's not good for organics. If you see any though, let me know. I can pay you for it, if need be.

[Just...not a lot. What a time to be without his gold currency card. But seriously people, Drift really, really likes not staving! He's done that before and would rather not again. But you better believe he's just the type of idiot to give out what rations he brought with him to the others of his kind. Because even if he's not fond of starving, hey, positive side: he knows how to tolerate it probably better than anyone.]

So Wing, Rodimus, Megatron, anyone else... let me know what supplies you have? I have some rations, if you're in need.

Maybe when the others go back home, they will be able to share the message that we can all coexist.

[Which would make things worth it.]

I'm no cityspeaker, but it seems to me...it feels dead, this place.

... An amphibian?

...It might teach Rodimus a lesson.

[ pause. ]

Pity that's unlikely.

[There will be innumerable pleases.]

I wouldn't want that either. And Nita would kill me if I lived through it. I'll let you know if I find anything!

Uh.

I don't think that'd be a new lesson really. For Rodimus.

[Granted he's got a few to learn probably. But not about starving.]

[Most excellent. There's even an empty hangar around here~]

Ha-ha, death by disapproval, what a way to go. [He's been there before.] So who's Nita and should I watch out for him?

Nope, a human.

Wasn't exactly outfitted for underwater maneuvering though.

So you know....least I can drift.

[Newt however, is not exactly 'newtish']

That's what I mean. It wouldn't really be a lesson because he wouldn't learn from it.

We could be an inspiration to everyone back home.

[He really likes this idea.]

But...

...that's gonna be a trick. Getting them to. Co-exist positively.

Yeah. Except maybe hoarding ration packets. [Like Drift does. Because starving.]

But hey look, I'm fine! No harm done.

[Nevermind the sticky mouth.]

...Drift. I was referring to him suffering due to his stupidity, not suffering from starvation.

[ quite literally rubbing his helm now. ]

[Aw, no, Rodimus...]

Not a single ration packet?

[Well, good that a certain someone else hasn't gotten past is slumdog food hoarding habits. Drift usually doesn't appreciate his (sticky compartments and all) but he's glad for it now.]

I have faith in you, Drift.

[As for here, he'll keep his suspicions to himself.]

I...

Could use a little help, probably. Megatron and Rodimus...

Yeah that's not gonna be easy.

[He needs some peace pointers Wing!]

Megatron seems reasonable enough, I think. And they're your friends, aren't they? Surely they'll listen.

( As soon as Rodimus could stop worrying about things like that, he did. Sorry Drift. )

I just got back from the Dead Universe before I got here. It wasn't really high on our priority list.

( Right. That was a thing that happened that he hasn't told Drift about yet. )

[He considers that for a moment.]

So, what's your actual fuel made out of? You say it's not good, right? That makes me curious. I can't help it.

[Robbie makes this little choked off bark of a laugh. Oh god. Well, fingers crossed that Nita isn't paying attention.]

Nah, I don't think you have to watch out for her. She's a friend of mine.

[What? What'd he say?]

....oh. [AWKWARD] AH-ha well. That's a relief. Glad you have friends here.

[Hey pronouns are hard dude. He only knows of one 'she' and Arcee is... Well her reputation proceeds her.]

Oooooohhhhh....

[Naw, he knew that. He's totally not so tuned into the food issue to the point of being blind to all else. Nope.]

[SIGH] Still couldn't leave him to suffer alone though. [It's just not his style anymore Megs.]

Do you think so? [There's the flare of hope right there. Drift's been worried he'd be biased, one way or the other, about Megatron. Hearing Wing's opinion bolsters him quite a bit.]

Well yeah, they are. Uh. I mean..._{Maybe I could call Megatron that but I'm not really sure} it's kind of complicated?

[Just means he has to save your scrawny aft again. Just with rations instead of swords this time.]

....Dead Universe?

[SKREEEE]

Would this be part of the whole recent almost world ending event Megatron told me about?

Energon? The pure stuff is an ore from my homeworld. But it's been seeded onto other planets too. Earth was one of them. [Blame Shockwave okay? Totally not his fault]

There's converters too, which can use almost any organic base material. But uh, don't have one of those sadly. [IF ONLY]

We spoke. He seems...different than before the war.

I don't mean to make it more complicated, Drift.

I could.
