[002 - Hologram] It's like Deja Vu in reverse!
[Hello Knowhere, it's been a little while. Drift's generally good spirited demeanor seems a touch off-kilter today. Something's clearly gotten the swordmech in a state of awkward uncertainty.]
Sooo, uh. Has anyone, by chance....seen another one of my kind? But bigger, red chassis, blue helm, faceplate, tall audio spires. [As if Drift needed to illustrate that by putting his fingers to the sides of his helm; his own finials do that all on their own.] Sometimes looks like a big truck?
[AHEM.]
Answers to the name Optimus Prime?
[Because Drift swears he's seen the Autobot leader walking the halls of Knowhere. If Optimus had arrived, Drift would have heard about it before this, right? RIGHT? So was it a vision? Or has he taken too many hits to the helm? Maybe the last of the energon in his ration pack finally went bad? He still doesn't understand these powers that he--supposedly!?--has, and you know, how they're even supposed to work.]
Erm, on that note. Anyone out there with a time gem shard, if you've had an success with your powers, I'd love to hear from you.
[Tell him your secrets!]

[It's totally normal for gods to roll in and preside over weddings, right.]
Welllll, Rodimus said you guys were on Earth for a while, and I've never heard of you [Nita you've been gone for at least five years] so I don't think we're from the same universe. I mean, it's not like traveling between universes is unusual [Nita you hang around the Fantastic Four] y'know?
[hologram]
[Give him a bit to process that.]
Hmmm. That follows. Anyone on Earth in their 20th Century would be familiar with us. So these gems can pull people even across dimensional boundaries. That's...powerful.
[Goes without saying maybe, but he's marveling at the scope.]
[hologram]
[Because Drift totally knows who they are.]
I know people who can travel across dimensions, but grabbing folks from all over all at once isn't super-reassuring.
[This is all pretty out-there even by Nita's distorted standards.]
[hologram]
[If he thinks about it, it wouldn't be too different than walking with the Knights of Cybertron right? Just, two steps removed from divinity. Divinity-lite? Hey, he'll take it.]
It makes me wonder what others they might decide to grab. [He has certain NOT-friends he hopes never get picked. Prowl. TARN. And a few others he wishes would. ....like Ratchet.]
[hologram]
[Thor's an alien and Hercules is a demigod, plus Nita's fundamentally pagan belief system doesn't see anything weird about gods wandering around messing with mortals. It's what they do.]
"Decide" might not be the word. It could just be random.
[hologram]
[BUH.] Random is worse, they could pick anyone. [And it would mean he wasn't special, beyond 'right time, right place' anyway. What a drag.]
