[ There is a video of something bright, golden, and shiny. It's moving fast and the video barely catches it before it switches off.

Then it switches back on again, this time showing a scaly, reptilian face that has the shape of a wedge and bright yellow eyes.

Then it switches off again.

And on again, showing the the underside of the golden creature's jaw. That's when it speaks with a slightly squawk. ]

Stop that and start working! How does this thing work I don't -

[ And then video shuts off again and stays that way until a few minutes later when it clicks back on again. The little wyrmling looks less than impressed, judging the narrowed eyes and the tightening of the jaws. ]

Is it working? I don't think my claws are good for this sort of thing. Can you hear me now?

[Hello, Exsilium. There is a funky techno-cat peering at the camera once it comes on.]

I realize that this is a longshot, but I gotta ask - anyone else out there from Cybertron, or know anyone that is? Any other Maximals out there?

[ hello fellow recruits! a sixteen year old girl with, yes dog ears, appears on the screen curiously before she smiles widely at the screen.] Hello!

Wow, it's been a year since I had to post to the network line introducing myself.. but, new place, so an introduction is in order! So it's nice to meet everyone, my name's Jade Harley. [a single ear flicks to the side, almost thoughtfully.] There are a few cases where someone's come from somewhere else other than home before this, like me for instance! Is that the same for anyone else?

And while we're on the topic.. Has anyone ever heard of the S.S. Thor? A ship in space traveling from planet to planet? [she glances downwards for a second, brows knitting before..] Um.. Oh! Another thing, anyone know where I can find some good parts? I wonder if I could try and rebuild any of my gadgets like my Wardrobifier..

[she seems satisfied with the post before she cuts off. though.. not a second later does green text pop up.]

( cut for green courier )

Blood from a bloodpack tastes so foul. I don't suppose anyone would be willing to... donate, some of their own?

I promise, I'll be quite gentle.

[ Think that message was weird? Here's something even weirder: There is zero background noise in this message. No static, no voices, no wind. Nothing. Begging the question of where he is. ]
