// Say, Skyfire, sir? // Don't look at Holi like that. Scientists are pretty important people! // If you don't mind my asking… what's it like where you are? // For what it's worth, the little bot doesn't much sound like he's been reminded to ask. He's actually pretty curious, now that he thinks about it.
Though maybe he should have waited for Skyfire to respond to him first…. Oops.

// Skyfire to unknown party, please identify yourself. Are you with Holi? //
// Holi, I broke free of the ice somewhere in the polar regions. I do not have full navigation data for this planet yet. // That he's actually speeding south as his not-inconsiderable cruising speed, Skyfire declines to mention just yet.

Just when Hook thought it was safe to defrag at night, Omega Supreme rumbles over the general band. Looks like he didn't just run away to hide and die! He has a vague idea of the general situation with Skyfire and Starscream, and he'd be inclined to leave it alone. He is not known for his eloquence. However, one thing has occurred to Omega Supreme. He's been around for a long, long time, and he's always been fairly well-known. Even someone like Skyfire, who spent most of his time off Cybertron and was lost before the war started, would know of Omega Supreme, and his reputation, before the war, was not of a ferocious guardian beast but of a benevolent sentinel.
If this is the Skyfire from his timeline, Omega Supreme hopes that Skyfire will recognise him. It may not hold much coin against Starscream's words, but it's something. His voice, weary and bitter, is his voice still, for all that his words are clipped and chopped.
//Omega Supreme: reporting. Assistance: required?//
This 'assistance' could include stepping on Starscream. Jus' sayin'.

// I don't recognise that voice, // Holi says with certainty of Shortround. He doesn't even know if this other fellow on the radio is an Autobot or a Decepticon! Could be either, really…. But the Micromaster quickly seizes on a different topic. // I haven't been to the polar region yet! // he declares excitedly. // It might be nice to see it someday, though… oh. Oh! I'm sorry, Skyfire, sir. // No, Holi wasn't just thinking about snowball fights. Really.
Ah, then Omega Supreme makes his very considerable presence known. Holi may not know Shortround, but he knows this voice all too well!
// That's right! // If he sounds just a little (or maybe quite) embarrassed at getting sidetracked, please forgive him. // Did you need any help, sir? // he seconds Omega's query.

//Oh, me? I'm Shortround. I have a habit of forgetting to identify my self on channels//
It's true. If people don't know who he is, they're less likely to ask him to do things for them, leaving him open to collecting more toys.
//Oh, and you might not want help from the Mechabot-1 redeco there, last time he tried 'helping' he detonated an energon stash and blew up a mountain...//
Shortround, bitter? Yes. Will this help? Probably not.

There's a long silence before Skyfire replies.
// What I could use is a situation report. This is not the planet I previously landed on; what world is it, where are the natives, who are you, why are you here, and what are your intentions? //
It still hasn't occurred to Skyfire to ask 'When are we?'

Pause.
// Anybody know what the slag is goin on here anyway? I'm bored, and plus, I could really use a touch up on my paint job. //
Can't you just see him running a hand along his head and then checking his hand like he's wearing nail polish or such?

Oh gosh, explaining things. This is not Omega Supreme's strong suit. He also notes down that he needs to hit Shortround until the Decepticon stops moving. He had a good reason to blow up the whole place! Omega Supreme, however, can talk normally. It's hard for him, and it takes focus, but he can. After all, he narrated the events of his fall to Optimus Prime in normal speech.
Sighing, he draws on those linguistics processors of his that aren't broken, and he explains, //Planet... this planet... is out in the middle of nowhere.// He's not going to give the actual name just yet. //Natives are missing. No one knows where they went. Haven't had the chance to look. I am Omega Supreme. I guarded Crystal City.// Past tense, yes. //War came. My city fell. I awoke here, in the pole. I do as I have always done: protect.// Ow ow ow. It hurts!

//I have no idea what this planet is and I don't think anyone does. No natives around any more as far as we've seen, just their buildings. No idea how we got here, all that I know is that we're here. I was ment to go to Earth seeing as some black hole was starting to eat Cybertron due to Optimus Prime sucking at destroying Unicron// Telling too much backstory? Shortround doesn't think so. Anything to badmouth Optimus Prime
//And here, I intend to... Expand my collection//. Shortround leaves that to the immagenation of everyone. He doubts many would guess that he intends to get every toy from this planet, keep the ones he wants, and then sell the rest.

Holi doesn't answer Skyfire right away; he's busy cross-referencing 'puberty'. Puberty… puberty… oh. Oh. Hum. Well, that doesn't make much sense. He isn't human!
// Um… I'm sorry. I don't know you, either, // Holi addresses the not-Shortround voice. Speaking of Shortround, he must be talking about Omega Supreme – that's the only bot Holi knows who happened to blow up anything big recently – but what's this Mechabot-1 business? And speaking in that sort of tone about his fellow Autobot? Oh, no, you didn't. // Omega had to do that! It was to chase away the Decepticons! He's done a lot for us, so don't you dare say he shouldn't help anyone! // Oh dear. Holi sounds rather genuinely perturbed. Anyone in his immediate vicinity might well notice the consternation on his face. // You're… you're one of them! //
Yes, the Micromaster is irritated enough not to notice that Shortround didn't quite say what Holi thinks he said, or that he isn't listening anymore.

// Am I correct in assuming that Holi is with Kup's group? Omega Supreme, where do you fit in this? And the rest of you? // Skyfire asks.

Again, Omega Supreme draws in on himself to try to seem as he was before the Third War shattered his soul. He replies to Skyfire, //I stand an Autobot. I stand against the desecrators of Crystal City. I stand against the Decepticons!//

// This is Sell Sword, and I have absolutely no idea where the hell I am. If I’ve been kidnapped to be hunted by some bored noble again, I’m going to cut you apart in small pieces.

Someone on Broadband! Starscream speaks up before Sell Sword says something and ruins everything for Skyfire.
//Sell Sword, if you recognize my voice, radio me personally.//
OOC: Whether or not you actually have Starscream's private frequency is up to you.

//Nope, no idea who you are. Now is anybody going to tell me wher I am, or am I going to have to randomly fly around and break things before I get my answer?//
OOC: To those that don't know, Sell Swords a merc, and has been off Cybertron and generally removed from any of the things that happened during the transformers series.
As such, he probably won't really know anybody. Names, maybe.
