“The forbidden item... the Hazard Trigger.”

Apart from some minor system damage, and a mysterious memory malfunction covering a good few hours, no-one was too injured. I guess whoever designed those escape pods did a good job. Either that or I’m too good a Doctor.

Blades says it’s definitely the first. I love this team sometimes.

So, details. What we do know, is that we’re stuck on some planet somewhere. From the data we can scrape out of the computer memory, we’ve checked the star maps, and we’re far beyond any faction’s space. It’s an organic world, close to a yellow star, with no high radiation levels or damaging factors, so you may think we’d be happy.

Oh boy, are you wrong.

It’s inhabited. Level 2- home to a sapient species with no advanced technology, or contact with the extra-cybertronian community. Also known as the type of place the Galactic Confederacy said we’re not meant to touch, on pain of mass-extermination of our species. And I doubt Prime would be happy to rescue us if it meant going against his treaty with them, so it looks like we’re stuck here until we can make out own way off world, hopefully secretly. This is one of those rare situations where we’d have better luck if we were Decepticons.

Hello? Is anyone there? This is First Aid of Autobot vess-

-f Decepticon activity here. I’m not surprised- there’s nothing of value. Still not sure why we crashed, I’m not even going to list the theories that we’ve got. Blades is betting twenty creds that-

Anyway, I’m rambling. Guess I don’t want to be stuck here. Contact us if you recieve this. I’m broadcasting on all Autobot frequencies, and Wheeljack’s own special wavelength, so if you’re hearing this, inventor-man, please tell someone.

So first is Hot Spot. He's in charge of our little team, and he's as heroic as they come. Technically a firefighter by training, he's now just as likely to start one as to put one out. And trust me, he's charismatic. I once saw him simply talk some cons into surrender. And then, in an even more surprising feat, he made Blades happy that they went out without a fight.

Ah, Blades. Him and me, we don't get along that well. We're friends, trust me, but sometimes he gets a bit violent. And by a bit, I mean a lot. Usually with his rotor blades. I once cut myself on one while trying to repair his arm, and man, did it hurt! He found it hilarious, because that's just how he is. You'd think, because he can fly, that he'd prefer to stay in the air, and shoot all the cons down. But no. He revels in the sensation of their energon spaying across his paintjob. He's pretty disgusting sometimes.

Streetwise would probably agree with me. He's a much calmer bot than the rest of us, usually content with flying around the shuttle when we're in space. On the ground is the same- calmly loading up his rifle to strike dead in the optics of his target. I heard a rumour once that he took out Soundwave once with a single shot from 5 mechanometres away. Never asked him about it, but I can see it being true. The only times I've seen him lose his cool is when he's dealing with Vortex, one of the Combaticons. I think they have some history, but I'd have to look it up to be sure. And he's probably locked his record.

The final one of us here is Rook, and he's a bit of a mystery. He's newer than the rest of us; fresh out of the academy, with an accent that none of us can place. I swear it's East Iaconian, but Blades thinks it's Lower Tarn. He's a big fella, I think is the best way to put it. Definitely dedicated to the mission, don't get me wrong, but he seems jollier than he rest of us. A lot more willing to crack jokes and the like. I'd say it's because he hasn't seen as much as we have, but he's already been through some rough stuff. Maybe he just wants to be liked. 

Hi all! Wheeljack helped me set up this blog... thingy last time we met, and I figure its time to use it!

So, I’m First Aid, medical officer on this little shuttle craft of ours, and this is going to be a record of the Great War. Well, that and whatever issues we get ourselves into. I swear, our luck must be so bad...
