[Having noticed the general quiet on the ship, someone is going to speak up in an attempt to fix this problem.]

Soooo....

How about that crazy party stuff, huh? I know like, years and stuff are important to humans so. Sorry? About that?

But seriously is it really that bad? I mean, you guys have like, what? Two-hundred of 'em?

[Sideswipe, no, humans don't live to be 200 you ninny.]

What's one more! I mean there's worse ways to go than a big party, right? [... he's trying to give a peptalk. He really, really is.] I guess if you really feel bad, um.

Talk to each other! That's totally what everyone keeps telling me to do when bad scrap happens.



Yeah, that's like, all I got, man. Just relax, okay dudes? Next planet's gotta be better.

[you tried, sideswipe]

[SIGH]

One hundred.

One hundred fifty, tops — and that's only in my era, thanks to medical advances.

VOICE

[redshitlord]

... wait, really?

You're sure that's it?

[squadgoals]

One hundred percent sure.

Being a human, I consider myself an expert on the subject.

[redshitlord]

... Oh yeah.

I guess you would be, huh.

[wallride]

This is the right idea, man. I think we experience time differently, though. You guys live for so long and it's quick, we don't and it's short.

[and also the whole timey wimey thing.]

video

[redshitlord]

Are you sure? I mean... maybe you guys live longer than you think.

[Sideswipe, no.]

Re: video

[wallride]

I'm no expert like Dr Ziegler, but I'm pretty sure. You know anyone who had trouble on the planet?

video

[redshitlord]

Uhhh, not really, dude.

I mean, I'm a 'bot so. A year isn't a big deal where I'm from.

Video

[iseedeadbees]

Forget the humans, I've been away from Cybertron for over a year! Everything I've rebuilt is probably burned to the ground by now and there's nothing I can do about it!

[sorry he's just been looking for an excuse to complain. Not that he needs one but you know]

video

[redshitlord]

Oh, oh I got this one. I know this one!

Hey.

Hey, Scrapscream. I know something you can do.

[Wait for it...]



Cry more.

[iseedeadbees]

[MAYBE HE WILL!!!]

Tch. Nice to know I'm the only one that cares about the state of our planet.

video

[redshitlord]

More like state of your planet, Whineandscream.

Mine's fine!

[warandpeace]

I'm worried about the prospect of the next planet being "better".

[After all, this last planet was supposed to be "good".]

Hopefully we can come up with some more solid defense strategies in cases like these, even if they're exceptionally hard to predict. Considering the range of experiences available among the crew, there should be some useful recommendations.

[redshitlord]

Dude, why? If it's better then no one's gonna get suckered into bug parties!

...

Okay, yeah, you're probably saying smart stuff but I checked out once you said "defense strategies".

[warandpeace]

This ship keeps making "better" feel more complex. I think we've only been to one place where everything turned out well in the end. In the beginning, it always feels easier.

Short version was that I hope we can help ourselves. We should collectively know enough.

[redshitlord]

But that doesn't mean it's not gonna happen again, dude! Good stuff, I mean! Lighten up a little...

Oh, so. Why not just say that?

Video

[justice_from_above]

You live quite a bit longer than that, I take it?

But yes, those years are important to us. It's not just about how long we live, it is the sometimes sudden nature of death; no one can really predict when they die. That is why every day is important; there is no way to know when it will be the last time you see that person.

[She's straightforward and honest, but there's definitely an underlying gentle delivery of her words; this is a pain she's known first hand.]

video

[redshitlord]

Schyeah. Like. Millions of years longer?

... yeah, though. I know about that whole... "hey suddenly this guy you really care about is just straight up dead"...

I'm just trying to lighten the mood here.

video

[justice_from_above]

That is quite a bit longer.

Sorry, I think I have had about enough of a light mood as I can handle for a while.

[ video ]

[democratically]

[Hello Sideswipe. Have a small twitch on Padmé's lips, although she won't mention that she only had 27 years before her own death.]

Half that, maybe, if a human is lucky.

[ video ]

[redshitlord]

[He waves.]

You're serious? It's not like... at least one-fifty?

[ video ]

[democratically]

It does depend on what sort of life they are able to lead. It can be around one hundred to one-twenty.

[sketchycharacter]

Okay, even if the problem was because of math, which it wasn't, do you really not get why we'd dislike being out of control of ourselves for a year? Come on, man.

video;

[redshitlord]

Yeah, okay, literally every human is yelling the same thing. Got it.

I'm just trying to help, dude.

[sketchycharacter]

Well, you kind of suck at it.

[Grump grump.]

How long do ro—cyberguys live, anyway?
