Are any of you robot space guys here? I think I've seen some of you. What's it called when you get like, robot married, but it's not actually married it's just having a very serious broship? What's that called.

[...anyway]

Uhhh also I'm willing to pay...some...money to somebody who knows how to find power lines in the ground. Dead ones, probably, maybe. I don't know, I'm still working out the kinks in this one. Can you computer-talker people do that or is that kind of out of your scope? Tasha?

-oh yeah hey wassup Hiro. Forewarning, the Swear Jar's made a triumphant return if you haven't already seen it.

And. General question. Hypothetically, if you uh, destroyed your file in a fit of anger before reading it, is there a way to get another copy...? Please tell me it's not like applying for another social security card, I swear to god, I would rather fight Superman.

I could try to find them? If they're dead it's way harder, but technically they're tech.

...is it though? Without electricity isn't it just...stuff? Metal and rubber and fiberoptics?

[microbrobotics]

So's the components I use to make stuff before I turn it on, but that counts just fine.

... Tasha?

[runningstart]

Yeah.

[........wally you are the most unhelpful pos]

[dragony]

Is there a story behind that one? Or, just, not a fan of the 'd' ?

[tadeadshi]

Yeah I can help with that

IF you tell me why you're looking for it

[runningstart]

EXCUSE me that is awfully suspicious

maybe i'll just get your morally relaxed brother to help me instead

[tadeadshi]

You could but he'd charge you where I, the truly kindhearted brother, would do it for free

I just wanna know what's up with it

[Video, and he's in robot mode too]

[fisitron_declassified]

Yes, hello, space robot here, but actually the term I think you're looking for is "Cybertronian". It's the planet we're from. Cybertron, that is. But uh, also you can just call me Ironfist since that's actually my, uh, name.

[Ironfist scratches his helmet curiously.] Are you talking about being conjunx endura? It's the closest equivalent to Earth marriages I can think of...a lot of them I guess could co-own a starship together? I'm given to understand there's a general sort of...sharing of possessions with your conjunx. Is it like that for marriage?

[No idea what class of ship Wally's talking about though. Probably not anything as big as an Ark or Decepticon warship.]

[nice]

[runningstart]

Huh...mmm no, that doesn't sound familiar. It was something really on the nose, like how "Cybertron" is a really obvious name for space robots. I dunno, maybe it's a translation thing?

No I mean like, I dunno, like soulmates? Is that a term for you guys? I dunno how your souls work.

[redcosmedic]

The proper term is "mech", not "robot". And we're Cybertronian, if you want to be accurate.

If you are talking the equivalent of a spouse, that's a Conjunx Endura. If you mean a close relationship without a romantic connotation, that's Amica Endura.

[ The information is delivered crisply, like a medical report. ]

Re: video;

[runningstart]

Ah, so the conjunx one is the one that has the making out.

I feel a certain kinship in the confused nature of this post, even if I don't share in the circumstances.

[runningstart]

Thanks, my desired brand is 'relatable.' Why bother making a groupchat when you could just put all your thoughts and feelings on public blast?

[bifroster]

They call themselves mechs, or the ones I know, so maybe double check with that before you call them robots.

But why are you looking for power lines? You could probably call someone at the local government. You kind of need to before you do any digging, so you can avoid wires and pipes of all kinds.

Re: video;

[runningstart]

Wait wait, is robot like a slur? Did I miss something?

voice

[khajidont]

Khaji and I just call it a symbiotic relationship.

[ Khaji has not informed Jaime of his and Wally's nefarious plans. ]

And the answer is lots and lots of paperwork. I can probably find power lines too, but Tadashi might have it covered.

voice

[runningstart]

I was not talking about either of our relationships with your spine. [and nobody was talking about your pretend relationship with khaji, wallace]

I'll hit you up if we can't find them, but honestly...I need my file. You ever had to get yours again?

[VIDEO]

[patchricide]

Why are you looking for underground power lines? Do you need them to stay underground, or are you planning on excavating them?

[VIDEO]

[runningstart]

Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.

Have you heard from your indestructible space guy yet?

voice

[cannotrest]

I can find living power lines - maybe we could find dead ones from where you'd expect the living ones to go on.

But after I go ask my robot space guy boyfriend about robot marriage and serious broships.

voice

[runningstart]

Unfortunately I have no idea where they'd even connect, the ones I'm looking for are literally in the middle of nowhere. It's okay, I've got it handled.

Yes, please go ask your robot space guy boyfriend what he calls your relationship, I need terms.
