A bit, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather be back on the Lost Light where I belong, but it's better than Earth.

[nosebleeds]

Hey - if you say so! Lost Light's the name of your planet?

[tilallisoverused]

Nah, that's Cybertron. ( the 1980s were a really creative time. ) The Lost Light's my ship.

[nosebleeds]

Oh. Cool. Sorry you're in neither.

[tilallisoverused]

Yeah. Well, not Cybertron - we left it for a reason.

[nosebleeds]

Not the same reason we left Earth, I'm hopin'.

[tilallisoverused]

Not even close. We're on a quest to find the Knights of Cybertron to restore the Golden Age.

[nosebleeds]

[that's

deep]

Hey, you were looking for like... a drink thing, right?

[tilallisoverused]

( or really just idiotic, depending on who you ask. )

What, Tyrest? ( racking his brain for things that could fall under 'drink thing' ) Or energon?

[nosebleeds]

Energon-! Yeah, that's the thing. Some chick was talking about it.

[tilallisoverused]

Oh yeah, she said she'd make some for me. It won't be as good as the real thing but it'll be close enough.

[nosebleeds]

What do you need it for?

[tilallisoverused]

Well if I don't have any, sooner or later I'm going to run out. Total system shutdown and everything.

[nosebleeds]

Whoa! I thought you ran on that - magic sparky thing.

[tilallisoverused]

Nah, that's just what makes us us, you know?

[nosebleeds]

And they brought you here without any of that stuff? Shit, that sucks balls.

[tilallisoverused]

Just what I've got in me. I could probably drink straight oil if it came to it, but ( MAKING A FACE ) not the same.

[nosebleeds]

I thought it was like... some equivalent of booze for you guys. But I'm guessing it's more like - water? I dunno.

[not the brightest crayon in the box, nope.]

[tilallisoverused]

It's fuel. Our version of it, anyway.

[nosebleeds]

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. Yeah.

[tilallisoverused]

We have an equivalent of alcohol though. Just depends on how you distill the stuff.

[nosebleeds]

Think humans can drink it?

[legit question.]

[tilallisoverused]

Only if you don't like living.

( helpful answer! )

[nosebleeds]

Uh, no, I like living just fine. Thanks.

[tilallisoverused]

There you go.
