[ The screen flickers, and a girl of about 11 with long brown hair and eyes that seem to stare right into the heart of you appear. Despite the communication device visual, it's apparent she's a little different then most little girls. Maybe it's the way she bridges her fingertips,  or how she purses her lips before speaking. ]

 All of this communication babbling has to stop. You're doing nothing by clouding the waves.

[ She extends three fingers ]

 We're all here against our will, as far as I know. [ Two fingers remain ]

 The conclusion is that it's something other than us. [One finger ] And we're certainly from different places, if my talk with Elizaveta is anything to go by. There's no crew. Just us and our uniforms that are strangely accurate in size. 

 So here's the open ended question, folks: Who are we trusting enough to lead us for the time being?

OOC: And bedtime for me! i'll tag everyone as soooon as I wake up, I promise! I just was way too excited for this comm to open.

[ Chase leans forward, very--very--interested.]

They changed us. That explains why I'm older. I assumed I just had been in stasis for a very long time. And you? You have the appearance of a human... You're not?

Nope. Cybertronian. Robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. Robots. Machines. I'm usually much taller than this.

I didn't know humans could go through stasis for a long time without ending up with malfunctions. [if she's growing, then she's human, right? even though she doesn't act like a human child - more like a young Cybertronian. Adult, fully developed cognitive processes, just with very little experience.]

Cybertronian... [ She looks up, as if trying to gauge his current height, and then glances back down at the screen, amused. ] That sounds like a pretty good universe.

I suppose I'm not exactly human, myself.

Heh. [Heatwave's expression goes dark for a moment, and his laugh isn't exactly amused.] It's home.

[His mood quickly brightens and he smiles.]

What are you, then?

[ Another small smile, this one genuinely sorry. ]

Maybe that's for a time where people aren't watching our every move.

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind, then.

Keep your sac- keep an eye out for yourself, all right?

The same to you, too, sir.
