Where... where is this! What's going on! I will not tolerate this nonsense! There is a battle going on--

[Brief moment of stunned silence, and then, a roar that shakes the communications devices of all those listening]

Where... are... my cannons! Who touched them! Show yourself! Or I shall tear this place apart to find you! How dare you lay hands on me and my weapons! When I find you, I will not hesitate to--do not think I cannot destroy you without them! Answer me! Now!

Optimus' orders or no, when I find the responsible party, you will be reduced to your basic components before you can blink!

[Another pause, and then, quieter, but no less agitated]

Hmn. Oh, should... Autobots. Come in! Where are you! I have been taken from the field... What is Prime's status? Respond!

Welcome aboard, Ironhide, she does this to everyone.

Stop screaming into the comms.

Awww... XD

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Have a growl]

I will not! Not until someone returns my property to me!

I want my kit back, too. But neither of us are getting it.

[speaksflail.livejournal.com]

Ironhide?!

[You are getting the longest string of garbled and mangled and broken Cybertronian ever, Ironhide. SO HAPPY.]

Ironh-kzzt-hide! You're here and S-kzzt-Sam's here and this-

This is b-kzzt-ba-kzzt-bad but so so good! If y-kzzt-you're here then maybe someth-kzzt-thing can be done about this wh-kzzt-whole situation and-kzzt- [COUGH COUGH]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Why! Who is responsible for this!

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Sam?

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Captain James Wolfgang Redd. Our jailor.

[Audio/Cybertronian]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Relieved]

Bumblebee!

[And then RAGE again] They have taken you too? Where are we! The others--where are they!

... What happened to Optimus! And... and Sam!

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

Explain...

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

In brief, you're aboard the MS Elegante, a cruise ship with a destination of "the Golden Shore." Further information has not been forthcoming. The crew implies this is good for us, but refuses to provide any sort of proof.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... that is not possible. How did we arrive here! How can he remove my weapons!

[Gd it he hates texting, especially to friends.]

Sir! We've somehow been transported to this vessel; judging from the lack of familiarity in the star clusters I've managed to observe and the inability to receive any signals, I'm inclined to say in another dimension of some sorts.

Current location is unknown, as is the status of Optimus Prime. If you've followed the trend, you've probably been...downsized and stripped of all weaponry. Battle aboard the ship is strictly prohibited by the Captain and is punishable via some sort of cross-physics that I have yet to study. Allies include Hound -from what seems to be another universe of ours- Mikaela and Sam, who appears to have just contacted you himself.

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

You're here. Your weapons, which I assume were integral, are removed. It's not productive to meet observed facts with denial.

If you ask the crew, you'll get a vague answer about "the system."

[Audio/Cybertronian]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Another... what! How! That is impossible.

No! We were so... I can see my cannons are gone! How dare they... When I locate them, they will wish they had never been spawned. No human captain will tell me what I can and cannot do! But... the others. No sign of Ratchet? Sideswipe? The major?

... Bumblebee. Sam is... dead. He cannot be here. That... cannot be him.

[heavyweaponsbot]

My weapons were me! I am the the weapons master! It would be as if they had taken your... some vital human organ!

... a system can be broken.

[Audio/Cybertronian]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

Sam is-kzzt-isn't dead.

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.]

"Some vital human organ," hmm?

[Audio/Cybertronian]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... The human medics determined it. He fell in battle.

You... were there. You have to know.

[Text]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

That hasn't happened for me yet.

That's another thing...there seems to be a time discrepancy here. Mikaela is from after the battle of Egypt, and told me about both Sam and Optimus. I...

I'm from before any of that happened. We just finished fighting the Decepticons in Mission City.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Are your audios malfunctioning? That is what I said!
