I've been thinking and ( Offscreen there's a voice that just calls back you're always thinking, but Nautica continues on undaunted! No one asked you, Chromia. ) and I've been wondering about why we're here. Not about our purpose for being here - I've decided that for the moment to assume that all information regarding that is accurate because there just isn't a good way to quantitatively account for it when creating this particular dataset. Categorical variables, you know?

I mean I could account for it, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm making a large number of assumptions as it is and I'd like to minimize any further skewing of results.

( Someone hasn't actually gotten around to her point yet, and it's with another helpful cough from offscreen that Nautica snaps back to it. )

Oh! Right, sorry. Anyway, I was wondering if there's any correlation between arrivals and existing relationships. Take me, for example - Chromia and I are close friends, and there's any number of people that I know here. Although they might not know me yet - I suppose I could factor in timelines differences somehow-- ( She looks pensive for a moment, one finger tapping against her chin as she considers this. That shouldn't be too hard. ) But my hypothesis is that by arriving here, you increase the chance that others from your universe will eventually follow, and the closer the relationship the more likely that individual will show.

There's an attached survey. If you'd like to fill that out and respond to this post with it, I'd appreciate it. So, um, thank you? Preemptively.

( And flicking the video feed off, because she can hear her roommate groaning already. )

[In light of being in this place a few weeks, Chromia’s started to learn the ways of the world. Meaning a.) she can’t go back home...bummer b.) time doesn’t work the same way here as it does back home...awesome and c.) you need physical contact to survive. Yeah, she’s not taking to that one as well as you might think.

Or rather, exactly as you think.

After the first whole get-together party, she’s pretty much either been getting out in the open to tear up some pavement or keeping herself in her room. Neither really have any sort of company attached, unfortunately, and it’s gotten her thinking that maybe she should...at least attempt to survive in this place. So when the feed clicks on, she’s seen in her room, sitting at the chair and table provided and twirling the room key around her finger idly.

She honestly could not look any more defeated than she does right now.]

So. Any of you like a good spar?

[Because that’s cute and cuddly, right?]

It only says physical contact, so I’m figuring if we’re poundin’ the shrapnel out of each other, it counts. Hugs don’t really do it for me, you know, and I--

[Whatever Chromia is about to say is cut off by the sound of a door opening and bright, cheerful voice.]

Chromia! [Nautica’s face appears on the screen over Chromia’s shoulder. Not just over, but resting on - as the other bot managed to squeeze herself in between the wheels on the other’s back. It’s physical contact time, and Nautica is largely unbothered by that part of their situation as a whole.] Oh, you’re using the network. Hello!

[A cheerful wave at the screen.]

[The bot in blue however, already has her hand over her face, fingers gripping the bridge of her nose.]

Of all the times….

We haven’t introduced ourselves properly, have we? I’m Nautica and this is Chromia - and, well, there’s an awful lot of Cybertronians here already.

Ignore her, she’s just compensating for spending all this time indoors by being social now. So--about that sparring...

[She’s going to have control over this, okay!]

Sparring for Chromia, but if anyone beyond uh, the giant red bot and the-- Prowl his name is Prowl want to learn four million years of history, I’m more than willing to teach you. I’ve got practice after helping Megatron with his classes on the Knights.

[There's a new face. She cants her head this way and that, a curtain of purple hair occasionally revealing one of a pair of very green eyes.]

An stable intranet in such dire circumstances! That's incredibly impressive. But I'm curious as to what any form of internet may be like in this wo--

A-ah. Yes. I-I'm getting sidetracked while the camera is rolling-

Greetings! I am Layer, a Combat Navigator Reploid from Abel City. I've come to understand that none of my comrades from home have ended up here, but if I'm wrong, please respond. It'd be good to hear from you again.

Otherwise, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I would be happy to lend my assistance in any way I am able.

I do have one question, however: Is there a limit to the number of historical records I can borrow from the local archives? I might decide on a couple of all-nighters to bring myself up to speed here.
