Who: Jetfire & You
Where: The Skies || Crater
When: Jetfire's arrival
What: Jetfire being a science nerd
Warnings: Shouldn't be any???
Crater
Now Jetfire doesn't quite believe in the supernatural. There must always be a reasonable explanation - through science first and foremost. This is why, even though he is clearly there and standing and not in five million pieces, he doesn't automatically assume some kind of miracle has transpired. He doesn't believe that there is an afterlife so that can't be where he is either. Igniting his thrusters, Jetfire hoists himself up to at least get out of the crater and to get a better viewpoint.
What the scientist sees should be surprising. However, it isn't. Jetfire can make an educated guess that this is Cybertron. The metallic terrain is all but telling. What he doesn't understand is why there are some signs of organic life. Jetfire wants to get some readings of this planet, this Cybertron. What could have changed the planet so to make organic life sustainable? His nature could get the best of him, if he allows his mind to continue. Instead he needs to focus on finding answers. Is this really Cybertron? If so, then how did he get here?
This isn't the first time he has essentially woken to a crisis after spending a lot of time in stasis. Granted, Jetfire isn't sure that this is the case, but that is the logical assumption. Someone must have been able to salvage something of him after the explosion. Fixed him up. There can't be any other explanation.
In Flight
What's the best way to get a good lay of the land? By taking to the skies, of course. Not only is this testing to see just how well Jetfire's systems are working. From up here, he can see the terrain and maybe find others. That isn't his primary goal. Jetfire is a scientist and explorer and socialization isn't his one of his skill sets. Still, there is something to be said about being in his alt mode and cruising along. If only he had a lab or something. The need to tinker with his sensors so he could pick up appropriate data is strong.
This is going to have to do. Traditional observation might suffice until he can work on some upgrades or something.

[The sad, but true story.]
Would you mind telling me more about your world? About it's state of being?
no subject
I wouldn't really know, truthfully. [ give him a moment to look out at the vast landscape of this planet. ] It's been a long time since I have been out and about in it. I was stranded on Earth for millions of years, trapped in ice.
no subject
...
Trapped in ice? No one sought you out for rescue?
no subject
[ for varying reasons. ]
From what I understand, both your counterpart's ship and the Decepticon's crash landed on Earth as well. Their 'stasis' wasn't quite as long as mine. It was, unironically, Starscream that found me.
no subject
[The idea that one of his men--no, his friend--was trapped in ice for so long...secondhand guilt sets in.]
...
Starscream found you...I'm sure that went about as well as I'd imagine.
no subject
[ he can't expect to be rescued when nearly everyone is in stasis, now can he? ]
Oh you would be surprised. Starscream is many things, but removing an asset from play isn't something he's willing to risk. He simply waited for the most opportune time to thaw me out.
no subject
And your relationship now is...
no subject
That is complicated.
[ in every sense of the word. ]
