Void-verse. Where Scourge is. Looking for a hand.

[random_xtras]

Ratchet looks around as he appears in the new reality, feeling the mech that he's searching for, but not seeing him yet. The free spark's usually cheerful face shows deep concern today. He knows this is a long shot gamble, but he can't shake the hunch that Scourge might be able to help him.

He tilts his head and listens. Where is Scourge?

Scourge smiles ever so slightly, and Cyclonus can't help but be happy for him. Starscream he could care less about, of course, but Scourge just seems so...proud of himself.

Buzzsaw stirs and looks at his creator as Soundwave remains silent for a few moments, hand on chest and head bowed.

Then the blue mech looks up, his optic band unfocused as he speaks with the spark inside his shell.

"Thank you," he says, including both of the visitors.

Scourge smiles gently. "You're welcome," he says softly, answering for both of them.

Over by the door Ratchet shows himself to Cyclonus and Scourge, looking a little preoccupied and thoughtful

And Soundwave doesn't even know he's there. "Scourge and Cyclonus... those designations are unknown to me."

Then he raises a hand toward the door and the sound of bickering from the other side of it stills abruptly.

"We're not...from around here," Cyclonus says politely, completely ignoring Ratchet's presence.

Soundwave's trying to make sense of the images Starscream is showing him of where she's been, but without his own memories to back them up she doesn't know enough to be able to make sense. "I... see."

Then understanding dawns. "Is that the Nexus the Commander mentioned?"

-....Yes!- Starscream sparks with happiness at having this worked out.

Oh, so they had heard of it here. "Yes," Cyclonus replies, letting his gun slip back into subspace. He trusts Ratchet at least not to let them get captured or killed. "Scourge and I are from both another place and another time...a very different one."

He doesn't mention what Starscream is to them.

He's seen just a little bit from Scourge when Starscream linked them, but he didn't see that. Mostly the other mech's fear and determination to help the femme.

"A long journey to help a stranger." He's speaking to Cyclonus, but looking at Scourge.

And Ratchet's listening to the seekers in the hall lose a snark war with Rodimus.

"Not as...far as you would think," Cyclonus replies, again speaking for Scourge so the tracker doesn't have to work up the courage to formulate his own answers. Viewed objectively, it's a bit overprotective.

Soundwave has noticed this. But right now all he does is tilt his head quizzically at Cyclonus.
