Ah, I see. [Like some of the others whose worlds already incorporated space or universe travel. It's a concept he can picture a lot better now but one that is still very difficult to imagine for his own world.]
Definitely odd. [He agrees.] Of all the lifeforms and sentient beings out there, that humans should be the most common...I wonder why that is.
They aren't the oldest life form in existence, nor are they the most powerful. Humans haven't mastered interstellar travel in my universe, they were just fortunate enough to live on the planet where our war ended.
[Perhaps the war was about to end anyway, and the abundance of Ore-13 on Earth sped up the dissolution of the army structures. Perhaps it was a coincidence that so many parties converged onto the same place.]
Perhaps this ship picks up life forms with with is is familiar - particularly human.
It does make walking the halls and blending in on most mission easier I think. [He throws Minimus a sheepish smile, aware that the man often has to disguise his true form like he's doing now.]
Practically speaking, it makes sense.
You know in my time on Earth, we don't even have automobiles yet. We use horse pulled wagons. [He chuckles at it, a strange idea now that he's been exposed to so much more.] They're slower but I can't say I mind very much.
They're charming, in a way. [A vehicle pulled by animals is unique when most of your kind can turn into vehicles.] You humans learned to adapt quickly despite the situation. We Cybertronians are stagnant beings. Perhaps that's why your kind survive in almost every universe.
Hmm maybe. Who knows. [From where he's sitting, humans don't have anything more going for them than any of the other people he's met know, but then he knows he's probably biased, what with all of the terrible ones he's met. In a way it's nice to hear that maybe they have something going for them after all.
His eyes fall to the books beneath his hands and he runs a hand along one of the open pages.]
Here I promised to actually work and all I've been doing is distracting you, isn't it? [He laughs.]
But distracting you with good conversation I hope. [He knows he's enjoyed it at least.]
Energon. [The same thing that the ship dispenses for all of the Cybertronians.] Or engex, if the aim is to be inebriated. It works the same way as your alcohol does.
[And they can get drunk the same way, unfortunately.]

[It's a conversation with a friend, not an annoyance. Even Minimus needs a few minutes of social interaction each day.]

Nevertheless, I'd be remiss if we didn't get anything at all done, especially when you received special permission to do this. [He pauses.]
But we should do this more often. When we get back, we'll make plans to share a drink, hmm?
What do you drink anyways?

Wine for me and Engex for you. [He grins.]
What do you say?
