M6W2D7
Raymond has finally pieced together a semblance of his old radio, only smaller, because he wants to be able to carry it around in portable fashion. He went around by Imp's place but couldn't find her.
Now, vaguely worried, he is attempting to go down the list of Autobots and see if he can radio someone.
OOC: No one needs to answer this, if one does not want to do so. I just wanted to note down that, yes, Raymond is attempting to check in. Yes, he could have tried 555-Bots, which came online on Month 6, Week 2, Day 6, but he started on the radio on M6W2D3, so gosh dang it, he is going to try the radio first.

//Oh, you are the little Optimus Prime that I was a prat in front of!// Raymond exclaims. Then there is the sound of someone facepalming. //Right. I am called Pincher, but I seem to be going by the human name of Raymond Stantz at the moment, though I am not so much human as I... I appear to be a vampire, I seem to be working for Shockwave, and there is a statue of a dead Autobot in the foyer.//
There is another pause.
//Could I start over?//

//A vampire is a humanoid being that requires the blood of humans or other mammals for sustenance. Yes, I have tried normal food. It... does not stay down.//
//I think it might be Alpha Trion? I never met him personally, and the stories about him are not repeated these days.//
//Right. Thank you. I awoke in a box composed of a dried cellulosic structure more commonly termed wood and found myself apparently unable to exit my Pretender Shell. The actual fact of the matter is that my shell appears to have been replaced with a different body with physical properties quite unlike my Pretender Shell. I am now combustible when exposed to a certain spectrum of light...//
Raymond is just going to go on like this unless someone stops him.

//...so I encountered a female humanoid who is actually - uhm? Oh, right. Working for Shockwave. So after raiding my subspace pocket to the best extents of my abilities with a device built in a junkyard, examining my domicile, and teaching myself how to ride a bicycle, I... went to work, because that seems to be what humans do.//
//The CEO wanted to see me, which seemed quite irregular and is indeed irregular in actuality. She is Victoria Raines, who is really Shockwave.//
This should be known to the Autobots, courtesy of Rodimus Prime/Rodney Pryor. Raymond was just too late to get the memo.

Oh Raymond, you just keep saying the most interesting things. //You got at your subspace pocket? Built in a-// The next words Pincher hears are muffled, as though Optimus is not speaking into the receiver. //Nightbeat, Bluestreak!//
Further muffled conversation follows, and when the transmission is clear again, it's Nightbeat's voice on the line. There's a slight stereo effect of Muzzle talking at the same time, as sometimes happens when they're excited. //Pincher, I could kiss you. Is there any chance we can get you back to the Event Horizon so you could prototype some basic supplies into the synthesizer for us? I know you're a chemist , but we really need comlinks and things to distribute to everyone who's been turned human, and no-one up here has the training to do more than jury-rig something.//

//Uhm, yes? I remembered the calling frequency for it -//
They would have to videotape the kiss and give it to Pee-Dee as fanservice.
//- I suppose so. Just keep me away from the windows when the ship is sunside. I do have a message for, ah, Rodimus Prime or Emirate Xaaron, too.//

//Great! Can we bridge you up or do you need a shuttle? We don't know where Emirate Xaaron is yet, but I can relay a message to Rodimus Prime, no problem.//

//We have not yet tested the spacebridge on a human so as far as I know... yes, please do spacebridge me up. Someone should test it. May as well be me. I am fully informed as to the dangers and understand the risks I am undertaking. Also, I have no desire whatsoever to reproduce in this form,// children should be built, not born, okay? Or at least laid in eggs or something, //so if there are any teratogenic effects, I need not worry about the effect on any hypothetical children of mine, as I do not intend to have any.//
There is a pause.
//Ms. Raines wishes to speak with either of them.//

Raymond doesn't know human vampire legends!
//...uhm, I think the parts all work? I haven't tested them...// Nightbeat didn't need to know that. //...I was a bit preoccupied with the catching on fire business, you know? [coordinates].//

//You should definitely test them while you have the chance. It's one of the perks of being organic, according to Muzzle. When can we beam you up?//

Raymond still needs to figure out how to get caffeine into the blood he bought from the butcher, though, in a way that won't make him throw up.
