[There's a rather monotone, very British-like voice. If it weren't so monotone you could almost say it sounded annoyed, but monotone doesn't ever sound like that. That would just be illogical.]

That was a rather poor explanation of what is going on, if this truly happens so much. Quite unfortunate. The process could so easily be refined and perfected.

Incredibly illogical.

I am Shockwave. If any of you have any useful information I would find it most favorable if you were to inform me.

[Oh great. His favorite person in the whole wide universe.]

And I'm sure you could do much better.

[Go on Shockwave. Try to refine things there. Starscream would love to see what happens.]

[Oh, of course he's here.]

You should know by now that I can.

I don't think the people here use brainwashing to give themselves minions.

Now who said anything about brainwashing?

[Come now, Starscream. He's not stupid.]

Oh right. I forgot. You call it 'reconditioning.'

Reconditioning? I cannot say I recall such a thing.

And I may ask for a good reason as to why any of us should.

It would be beneficial to solving this issue and returning to our proper worlds.

Our hosts are not all that forth coming. You will have to find out what you can like the rest of us.

So you are implying you have learned nothing since your arrival.

[Unfortunate. Especially as that voice sounds so familiar.]

[ scoffs. ]

Oh I have learned a great deal. None of it, however, is going to help anyone return to their proper place in time and space.

And what makes you say that?

The shattered gems are within us. If there was a way to extract them and send us back, don't you think it would have been done by now? We're here because those shards belong here. Our hosts said something about 'setting things right' and nothing more has been brought to our attention.

So you know nothing of importance.

Nothing that would get us home, no.

Most unfortunate.

Senator?

[Wing had heard about what had happened to Senator Shockwave. Well, bits and pieces of it, at least, from the little bits Dai Atlas might let fall.]

Hn? Senator?

[That's a new one.]

Senator Shockwave? You do remember? Or did they....

[Did the mnemosurgery go further than Dai Atlas had told them?]

Do you remember Cybertron?

Of course I remember Cybertron.

[Well this is interesting.]

I. Uh. You were one of us. A Senator. Before, the, uh....

[What's the polite way to say 'you got your face and hands chopped off and your personality scrambled?' Dai Atlas didn't cover this!]

Before the what?

The war? The one that tore our planet apart?

Or has that yet to happen for you?

[That's the only way Wing can figure it. But why wouldn't Shockwave remember being a Senator? Had it been that severe a surgery?]

I am well aware of the war.

[It's that Senator part that seems to be the issue. He was a figure of importance before the war, but the term senator was never used.]

Can't say you're making a convincing case as to why we should tell you anything.

And what should I have done to make it convincing?

Say 'please'.

And that simple word will suddenly change your mind?

Not a chance.

Then I fail to understand the purpose of suggesting that.

[Boy is this a kick to his spark. It takes awhile for him to answer, but soon enough his voice comes over the feed.]

Shockwave.

[Just saying the name hurts.]

So you've arrived as well.

[Although he remembers what Starscream said, about there being multiples, and him being living proof of it.]

...Prime.

[Prime who should be dead.]

[AHAHA He's all ready 50 shades of not wanting to deal with this.

He thought you were dead too.]

I'm afraid that this place is anything but logical.

...

Do you remember me?

[Worth a try, he supposes.]

Hn.

I highly doubt I would know your name if I did not know who you are.

...

[His eyes cast away, beyond the feed. The obviously logical answer just...says everything.]

Of course.

I'm afraid you'll find nothing within your narrow-minded definition of 'logical' here.

It is hardly narrow-minded, but do go on.

I assume you've already taken inventory on the information provided. That alone should be enough to tell you of what to expect here.

Not willing to provide any additional data, Prime?
