[For a guy who just got kidnapped by aliens, Bruce is looking remarkably calm. He's quiet, too, and doesn't exactly carry himself with any sort of confidence. More to himself than to anyone else;]

As if the invasion wasn't enough. Though somehow, I think these guys are different. I just hope they're not Loki's allies, too.

[Then he pauses, glancing around the ship, which he's still standing in.] I'm going to see what I can figure out about this technology....maybe I can get things working again. If anyone I know is out there, please let me know you're all right.

For anyone else who might be listening...can you tell me anything about this place? Where is it, and who's in charge? I'd like to speak to them. At least, if they can understand English. If not, I guess I'll have to pick up another language.

((ooc: he's wearing the same outfit he is in the icon, cauuuse that's his canon point basically. :3))

[Bruce just stares. Not because of the fact that it's a giant robot, but because of what he said.]

I don't think we're talking about the same Loki. Because the one I know doesn't do kind, unless it's a trick or brainwashing. He's more the "I'm going to invade and conquer your planet with a bunch of my alien friends and make you all my slaves" kind of guy.

Loki. He fell from the Bifrost. He hit a ship on his way down, I think.

He helped rescue many of your kind when there was a gas attack, and he did some repairs on me.

I don't know how that could be a 'trick'. Or to what end. We are all simply trying to survive here. Even him.

[Well, that's disturbing. But at least Bruce knows he can handle him, if Loki tries anything. The Other Guy did smash him into a pulp, after all.]

Is he still here?

I haven't seen him in quite some time. We lost many during the stampede.

Or maybe he completed his spell on his own.

[That was worrying--they'd never know the results.]

[Bruce is afraid to ask, but he does.] What spell?

He was going to try to return to his home. And then he'd be able to help us return to our homes.

[Wing trusted him. Wing trusts everyone.]

I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to return home and left you all stranded.

[Bruce sighs.] I'm sorry. He might have left a weirdly good impression on you, but trust me when I say he's bad news. I wasn't joking about the invading and brainwashing.

He...wouldn't have. [But there's an edge of doubt in his voice. He hadn't considered the possibility.]

I can only judge by what I saw when he was here. It was a new start for all of us. Maybe he deserved that. Maybe we all do.

Maybe. But I won't trust him if I see him around.

I wouldn't ask you to go against your convictions.

Just...we have enough enemies here already: we don't need to fight among ourselves.

Don't worry, I would rather just avoid him unless he gave me a very good reason not to.

If he did, you would have every right to.

We are just in such a precarious state right now; we can't afford anything tearing us apart.

Understandable. [he pauses] If you don't mind me asking...where are you from, exactly?

Originally, Cybertron. But war was destroying our planet, and those of us who wanted no part in either side were forced to flee.

[thoughtfully] Well, that explains a few things. If you don't mind me asking...were you engineered by someone?

We have our creation myths. I imagine you have yours as well?

There were some mechs brought online during the war, but many of us were alive long before. But no one knows, precisely, how.
