Magnus, have you received the results of that absurd test?

[The fact that it was required was bad enough, but he had better things to do on a world with a spaceport than entertain this ridiculous matchmaking scheme.]

[ultramatum]

Yes. Given how skewed the questions were toward an organic perspective, I am not convinced it has much significance. We are, afterall, two of the only cybertronians on the ship, perhaps even this region of space.

[aminerproblem]

I agree.

We don't know how long we'll be on this ship, so it would be a better use of our time to see what accommodations can be purchased from the planet's space port.

[A pause.]

... Tailgate will want to wander off.

[ultramatum]

Before even considering that, we should attempt to find out where we are in relation to Cybertron. I spoke with the captains and based on their response it seems that we are far from any region of space cybertronians have reached before. Attempting to leave on a ship without even a rudimentary heading is asking for trouble.

I'm certain you are right, but it should be easy enough to maintain communication with him if he wanders too far from the ship.

[aminerproblem]

I presumed with their lack of hostility that we were displaced far beyond our region of space - possibly of our own universe.

[No organic-run vessel in his galaxy would have entertained the idea of keeping him on board with the crew.]

Did they mention any possible communication we could use to contact the Lost Light?

[ultramatum]

My point exactly. We need to determine where we are.

They did not. I may need to follow up with them, or contact the Communication Technicians listed on the crew directory. They would be the most likely to know if there was a way for us to get a message out.

I just wanted to let you know that drinking organic alcohol is very bad.

Unrelated but I feel a little bit sick.

I'm okay tho

[ultramatum]

[ Because Tailgate chose to send this message via text, he is spared the look of deeply resigned disappointed on Magnus' face right now. He's not even sure it's worth it to ask why he thought that was a good idea in the first place. ]

Tailgate,
I'm not sure why I have to remind you, but organic alcohol is not compatible with cybertronian anatomy. I hope this has been a learning experience for you.

I suggest you go to the medbay immediately, and see if they can flush some of the liquid out of your system. Follow-up with me afterwards. It would be good to know at this stage what kind of medical care we can expect from a ship with hardly any mechanical lifeforms on board, in the event of more serious injuries.

[aminerproblem]

Yes, but we don't know how frequently we'll be planetside, and finding where we are in relation to Cybertron will take some investigation.

[Becoming stasis locked on a human ship is something he'd prefer to avoid in the meantime.]

We can split our efforts to make the most use of our time, unless you would like my assistance.

[daintylegs]

I don't think I'm quite THAT sick. Well maybe I feel just a little sticky inside, but aside from that.

[So why did he do this? Why tell Magnus? Well, he DOES have a reason. It's just not a very good one.]

It's a little weird isn't it? There's not a lot of energon and there's no one to fix us if we get actually sick. All the organics have a miner breakdown everytime they see me, and that's weird too. Don't you find it weird?

[ultramatum]

[ There was no way Magnus was going to allow Megatron to wander around a space port unsupervised. ]

I think it would be better if we worked together on this.

[ultramatum]

That's a fairly common response from organics when confronted with a cybertronian, we should consider ourselves fortunate they aren't acting with hostility. Many of them are probably finding the displacement as jarring an experience as we have.

We will just have to be diligent about seeking energon as the ship travels and avoiding risk of injury.

A copy of Swords and Shield, a trashy romance series written by Varric Tethras, will be placed inside your mailbox.

[aminerproblem]

Very well. A visit to Harashan should help us begin to investigate our location in space as well as provide venues for possible alternatives to energon.

[daintylegs]

[Okay so he knows that he's in Big Trouble and is grounded and all.

But little things like that will never stop him from talking to people.]

Have you ever seen a washing machine before? A human one? I spent a while in the laundry room and I think they're super cool.

[ultramatum]

[ Magnus has been appraised of recent events since returning from the medbay. Needless to say he is less than thrilled about what his crewmembers have been up to.]

No, I can't say I am familiar with them. While I support your desire to learn more about our human crewmates and their technology, I would like to remind you that you have a duty on this ship and should not be shirking your responsibilities to spend lengthy periods of time on such subjects.

[daintylegs]

I didn't shirk anything!

[He shirked everything.]

I just thought it was cool and that you should know about it. It's a machine that washes human clothing! One of my human friends showed me how to use it!

I'd like to show you how it works sometime.

[ultramatum]

Very well, perhaps we could arrange something later. I have quite a bit to catch up on after I was indisposed in the medbay.

I am glad to hear you are integrating well with the crew. Have you spoken with many of the other humans?

[daintylegs]

A few! My favourites so far is this human lady named Lara and a dwarf named Varric. Oh! And a green human named Beast Boy. We played video games together! There's also a couple non-organics called Peridot and Jasper and I thought they were really nice. My coworkers from the cargo bay seem pretty cool too.

There's a lot of pretty interesting people here, and I'm glad I met them all!

[ultramatum]

Are. Your favorites so far are Lara and Varric.

I met another inorganic lifeform on the ship as well, claiming to be a 'program' of some sort. Rinzler. He works with the transportation shuttles, perhaps you have come across him working in the cargo bay.

[daintylegs]

Ew, another AI?

There are a few of those around.

[ultramatum]

[There's no need to be rude, Tailgate.]

Rinzler seemed like a perfectly fine individual. Who are the other AI you've met?

[daintylegs]

[He's not being rude! Just space racist.]

There's this one called BB, I think its name is. It's blue as far as I know. I'm preeetty sure that I've talked to a few others, but I don't really know.

So do you have any favourites yet, Mags? The ship seems to be full of interesting people!

[daintylegs]
