Try your best! /Keeps running, going slow enough for the kid to have a chance of catching him./ Uh, yeah? You remember me?
Yeah… You were little! What happened, how come you’re so big now?!
Nods his helm vigorously* I know I will! Impact said she had time travel and she saw me in the future and I was HUGE and spiky and strong! I wanna make her right, and be one of the strongest mechs in the world!
Ooh, I wonder if I get to work with Optimus in the future. I’ll make sure I become just as strong as you! And then we’ll be some of the strongest mechs ever!
Yeah! And we can all fight and be awesome together! Then nobody’ll call us cute for sure!
Sounds neat. He must be really strong. I’m gonna be strong when I get bigger, too! You wanna be strong like him?
He is! He’s done all these amazing things, and I wanna be as strong as he is! And work with him! You think you can get that strong in the future?

I’m not dumb! *sits down* Who’s the big bot?Oh, you can speak, huh.
The big bot’s Optimus Prime! He’s incredibly cool! He’s the leader of the autobots, an unstoppable team that’s going to conquer the whole universe! I wanna be one when I grow up.

Huh? But why? I need this sword to keep me safe from sparkeaters and other monsters!
We have real swords if you really need one. But there are no monsters on this ship. *Not at the moment, anyway.*
But… But why? What messed up his mind?
/Trying his hardest not to look too upset about this, not exactly doing a very good job, with his doorwings drooping and everything./
So, this is gonna be my home from now on? Where are the others my age? Are there quarters just for us?
There are others that live on different ships that come and go. Your quarters are shared with the medic of our ship. He’s grown… rather attached to you.
So… We aren’t on Cybertron? A Prime did this? They destroyed the whole world? Why? Where are we now? Where’s papa? Or mama?
*He has to pause to get all of answers in order and speak calmly.*
No. We are orbiting a planet called Earth. The Prime that did this.. no longer held any regard for his fellow Cybertronians. He started a war and the fighting destroyed the world.
The parents of many sparklings put them on ships like this that were headed off-world to keep them safe. You were given to this ship.
I’m afraid that your parents stayed behind.
Really? Cool! But… But what happened to Cybertron? Why can’t we go home?
Because a Prime went mad and destroyed it. We must live on a new planet now, the one we are orbiting. I saved everyone from the bad mech, so he won’t bother us anymore. Now we can make new homes here.
*Oh look, the cadet is a sparkling.*
Of course you can. You can be a soldier on my ship here.
I’m afraid that taking you home… would be impossible. Something very bad happened to Cybertron, and you came with me to be safe.
