Video; Episode 1: the one where swerve gets space bridged
[The camera is shakey as Swerve tries to get the hang of using it on his wrist, squinting at it through his visor as it clicks on before a small whirring beep sounds off as he realises it's online.]
Eyy! Brilliant! Got this thing working. [he's going to finger guns at the camera with his spare hand] So, hey there crew of the Moira, aka Swearth 2: Return of the emotional trauma! Quester, bartender, and all round awesome guy Swerve at your service. Gotta say, this ship is kinda smaller than the Lost Light--your hallways could use some expanding for us taller guys. I mean, not for me, but you know. Other guys. There are other guys here right? [he waves his hand dismissively, seeming to drift off for a few moments.]
Anyway, off topic, I know. But it's been a while since I've had a captive audience, let alone one with so many organics! I've seen dozens of you squishy buggers! You're everywhere! And that's so cool! I gotta get my holo up and running so I can be one with you.
So, two main things I wanna know:
One, where's the nearest alcoholic establishment, a guy could really use a stiff glass of high grade right about now, and two--or, actually, well this kinda is part of one, since I need to know if you people even know what high grade is or how to distill it and last time this happened I was sort of human so I didn't even need to fuel up with energon, I just ate a fragton of pizza and drank good ol' fashioned beer in a can which was a weird but awesome experience, I can tell you that. Wait, where was I going with this again?
Oh! Right! Energon. You lot know what it is, or am I gonna starve slowly and painfully? And without even getting overcharged. That would be an awful way to go, nobody should have to live out their last moments in life without getting completely wankered. Not that I intend on dying, but you know. You never know what's around the next quantum jump!
[he starts getting distracted, looking off screen at something, and mutters to himself:] Slag, Quantum Leap--do I even still have that data slug on me? Gotta finish that episode before I forge--
[the recording abruptly shuts off as he slips his fingers over the device.]

His optic cycles.]
....Ah, mech, you drive a hard bargain.
[He drops a claw onto Swerve's shoulder. Which is probably heavier than he's really thinking too hard about. Sorry Swerve.]
Works for me. Let's get'cha slagged off your aft.

Glad I can always rely on you to wanna drink to forget. [he laughs weakly, cracking the bottle open and taking a swig. It's the hard stuff--his private reserve. He's not even watered it down and it's evident by the expression he makes as it runs down his intake. Shit's smooth.
He glances at Whirl, offering the bottle, before realising that it's not gonna be that easy.]
