[There are a million things wrong here, and Chromedome finds himself thinking of every single one of them. Was he kidnapped? Is his hallucinating? Perhaps he's been captured and having his mind messed with... though he's been paying attention to the little details, and they don't fit in with any mnemosurgery he knows. Yes, he's panicking just a ~~lot~~ little, but he manages to keep it to himself. For now.

He gathers that he's in some sort of organic colony, which is strange in itself. Still, he knows better than to run around where easily excitable organics can see him. Trying to duck behind buildings and stay out of sight is a hard thing when you're twenty-something feet tall. Eventually he gives up on that and figures out how to work this odd network device.

Casual as ever, he leans casually against a building and speaks as casually as he casually can.]

Hello! I'm Chromedome, I seem to have lost the ship I'm on and everyone on it. Any help retrieving them will be rewarded with hugs and friendship. So if anyone from the Lost Light is here I'd definitely like to hear your voice right about now.

Oh, and questions like "Where am I," and "What am I doing here" should probably be answered. As a general rule, it's never a good thing when you have to ask those questions.

One final thing: Yes, I am a giant robot. Nice to meet you.

[It would really suck for Chromedome if someone took his hugs and friendship offer seriously. Sadly he only hugs other Cybertronians.]

Philemon. Huh.

[He doesn't show it, but the revelation that Rewind is mostly likely not here causes his spark to fall a little. It leaves him feeling unsettled and very lost... he could have handled this if his partner was here.]

You think there's another reason why we're here?

[That's okay, Neige was figuring a giant robot wouldn't be able to safely hug any humans anyway. Not that she wanted to hug him, of course...]

Definitely, but I couldn't tell you what that reason is. It's just all too suspicious when the government here is more eager to use us for their own gain than give us any real answers. [At least, it sure seems that way to her.]

Speaking from experience, that's very suspicious and kind of worrying. As if I needed to get caught up in organic conflicts.

[Personal experience being that he was on the side of his Government who did suspicious and morally questionable things. But that's all in the past now. Mostly.]

As if any of us needed to get caught up in this to begin with?

But unfortunately, there's no way home, as far as I know.

We can't just hop on a ship and motor out of here?

I'm afraid not. No one can leave this city by any means.

Oh. Okay.

So I guess I'm stuck here then.

[Well he gave up pretty fast.]

What's there to do around here anyway?

Yep.

Well, it's just your typical city, not really the most exciting place. You could get a job, or go sight-seeing, but that's about it. [She was about to suggest some places of interest, but then she wonders if a giant robot can even safely enter buildings without, y'know, breaking down the walls or something....

Oh, but there's one important thing she definitely should mention.]

Just watch yourself if you happen to be out late at night, especially if you aren't a fighter.

I'll take note of that.

[Chromedome can fight, sure, but if he can avoid it he will. For now anyway, maybe later he'll be up for a good brawl, who knows.]

So what's your name? Also sorry if I make any social mistakes, I'm not really used to talking with organics.

Haha, it's fine. I've admittedly never spoken to a robot your size, so we're sort of even there.

But anyway, my name's Neige. It's nice to meet you, Chromedome.

Pleasures all mine.

So, Neige, what do you do around here?

Trying to do what I did back home. Investigating what's up with this place, reporting the news, that sort of thing.

What do you do? I'm assuming you weren't built for show.

I'm going to take that as a reference to my stunning good looks.

Anyway, I'm just your regular run-of-the-mill Autobot. I fight when I have to and try to uphold the morals that we represent. I guess I've got a few other skills on the side, but nothing that'll be useful here.

[Have a chuckle at that.] I'd say 'interesting' would fit better, but sure.

'Autobot'? Is that a new kind of Reploid?
