[He seems almost apologetic for clogging the network, but the cause is, he considers, rather serious enough.]

I'm looking for someone who looks like me.  Kind of like me.  

His name's Drift. I've heard he's here. 

[He's been looking, but he hasn't found him yet. And that only compounds Wing's worry.]

I fear he may need fuel. If so, I am hoping someone will help take some of mine.

[Here's Billy, looking worried.]

I know him, but I haven't seen him recently. What makes you think he's run low?

[video]

[knightoflight]

Someone's told me that there's no energon here.

[Saying you haven't seen him recently isn't entirely comforting.]

[video]

[oncearanger]

Can you explain energon to me, please? There might be help for him here.

[video]

[knightoflight]

It's a fuel, a refined ore, what my kind eats.

Please, do you know where he is? Where I could look for him? I checked all the training rooms.

[draconic_historian]

Yes, I have met Drift. He has never spoken of running out of fuel or food, though.

What DO Cybertronians eat, if you don't mind my asking?

[knightoflight]

Someone told me it was an issue here and that you Transports were working on it.

[He'd love to hear it's not true.]

It's energon. Or it used to be. An ore from our home planet. It exists nowhere else.

[draconic_historian]

Well I hope you get that worked out. I'd hate to hear of transports starving to death.

Unfortunately I believe this planet is called Earth, not Cybertron.

[knightoflight]

I admit I'm a bit unhappy. I thought the Initiative took us with, well, knowledge of our requirements.

But if one of us must starve, it would make sense for it to be me.

[He nods.] I believe so. Which means this might be unsolvable.

Is there a way to send us back?

That's impossible...

But you-

[weapabilities]

You're alive...

Wing...

[Video]

[weapabilities]

YOU'RE ALIVE!

[Video] DONE!

[weapabilities]

YOU'RE REALLY ALIVE THEY BROUGHT YOU HERE THEY REALLY DID IT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS TRUE! THEY SAID THE DEAD CAN COME BUT IT REALLY IS YOU'RE ALIVE! WHERE ARE YOU?! I'M COMING!

[knightoflight]

[There's no response: Wing's flying over the edge of the city trying to spot Drift, worrying.]

[weapabilities]

[ After a few minutes, Drift is out on foot, looking for the jet. He's got to be somewhere. He hastily uses the rooftops to his advantage. ]

Wing?

WINGGGGG!

[ And making a racket doing so. ]

[thewalkingdad]

Yeah, I've met him and seen him. Very polite and helpful.

I couldn't tell you where he is right now, but I'm sure he's safe wherever he is. Pretty sure you two are the only synthetics around.

[knightoflight]

Where did you meet him? I've looked everywhere I can think.

[Polite and helpful? Are they talking about the same Drift?]

[maiinframe]

Something ith wrong with user Drift?

[knightoflight]

I've been told there's no energon--the fuel we use. If that's true, there may be.

forever voice over here

[maiinframe]

[Guess who is not even remotely bothered by talking to a giant robot? This guy!]

Describe fuel sourthe.

[As a battery himself, he might be able to replicate it, if he has to.]

[knightoflight]

It's an ore in our world, mined on planet and our satellite moons. There are artificial sources, but they're not as good.

Still, they'd be something.

[ Woooooooah........ ]

Don't you need some sort of space fuel?

[ Like Space Marines? You're a Space Marine, right sir? ]

video

[knightoflight]

[He shouldn't laugh, especially as serious as the situation is. But it's one of those things where he's so serious that this jolts him out of it, that sort of laugh of relief.]

Yes. Space fuel would be a good word for it.

video

[chittybang]

I see... I hate to say it, but if you can't find some sort of alternative fuel then you might have to give your armor a break for a while. I realize that's easier said than done.

[ Prooobably not for the same reasons that would actually be the case. ]

[knightoflight]

I'm hoping for an alternative sour---[wait, what?]

Give my armor a break?
