Who, what, when, where, and why.

(September 6, 6:24PM, Just outside Tuba City, Nevada)

Amber optics shot open on the body of the Cybertronian laying on the ground motionless. It was as if they were waking up from a nightmare but there was no nightmare to remember from their time unconscious. In fact, it was quite a nice dream they were currently having. It was peaceful, even if it didn't make much sense at all. The fact of the matter was that the Cybertronian's mind was still sleeping, their conciousness still engulfed in the dream, only their body had woken and was now beginning to move. It lifted itself to a standing position and began walking, unaware of any of it's surroundings, having no idea where it was going or why.

After a few minutes the mind finally caught up to the body, snapping suddenly into consciousness though the mech's stride did not falter. That pleasant dream was gone now, all to be remembered from it being the feelings it gave him. There seemed to be no retrieving the images from his memory, when he tried he was shown only blackness, a simple void. It was not something he was unused to, it seemed to happen just about every time he awoke. This had been going on for as long as he could remember, which wasn't long. Days maybe? Months? A year? It was hard to say. What few memories he did have were scattered and seemed incomplete. They didn't always come to him in order even, and there even what seemed to be a whole part of his life that was missing, all the time before he one day awoke on this planet. It was all a void, like his memory of the dream he had just had, with occasional bits and scraps of images or audio, nothing complete. There was, at one point, something there, but it had since been taken from him.

The mech finally came to a stop, looking out at the horizon though for no particular reason. He didn't know where he was, or where he was going. Part of him didn't seem to care, he was alive, after all, that was at least something, right? He smiled, unaware of the time, unaware that it would soon be nightfall. "Another day..."

[Bob]

Tuba city, well that was an odd name for a town. Bob had just returned from doing maintenance on one of his remote monitoring stations in the area when his tiny partner, Glitch, had picked up on a Cybertronian signature nearby that didn't seem to be moving at the time. As the duo got closer, the red convertible Bob was often fussing with actually working for once, for the time being at least, came upon the location of the bot, who seemed to be waking up "Well that's a strange place for a nap. Glitch, give me a scan of that bot." he said, looking down at his small blue, black and orange friend who was attached to his left forearm. A screen popped up on the small device looking bot displaying a readout of scan results from the other nearby mech. "Neutral signal, well that's good. Minor damage to his frame, couldn't hurt to check up on him then." he commented, seemingly to himself but he was actually talking to his partner just as much. The screen folded down once more and Bob steered his car near to where the unknown bot was, keeping some distance as to not startle him. "Excuse me, but me and my friend couldn't help but notice you seem to have a bit of minor damage to your frame. Not to mention your strange choice in sleeping areas. You need any help?" he called out to the mech, using plural terms even though he did appear to be the only one in the car at first glance.

It took a moment for the mech to realize he was being spoken to, after all most just left him alone if he did not approach them. "Help? Well... I don't know. I didn't even know I had any damage. Well, aside from what's probably in here but that's normal, at least for me." he said, tapping the side of his helm with a finger at the last statement. "As for where I was sleeping, I don't remember sleeping, or waking up. When I came to I was already walking. Again, normal for me. I think... I'm not sure... It's hard to say what is normal for me because I don't have much to go off of. But how could I have woken up up if I didn't go to- Oh yeah! That happened again! That explains it." Seemingly content with whatever conclusion he had just come to he looked around a bit curiously. "It must be pretty early in the morning for the sun to be rising..."

[Bob]

Bob quirked an eyebrow at that "Ooookay, let's try this a different way. Where are you trying to get to?" he asked. He was guessing this bot must had hit his head pretty hard or something. "And what happened again?" he added. This wasn't what normally occurred when he approached someone who seemed to need a little help, but this mech hadn't seemed to be hostile thus far, honestly, the way he was answering made Bob wonder if he was capable of being truly hostile, seeing as the poor thing seemed pretty confused himself. Bob shook his head at the comment about the time of day "No, it's evening, the sun's setting not rising." he said before looking down at the small device on his arm "Glitch, can you find any record of this bot?" he asked his small friend, though the beep the keytool bot gave was a negative.

[Glitch]

"Hmmm..." Glitch thought for a moment, trying to find what would be an answer to such an inquiry before reaching a sudden conclusion of sorts. "Ah, yes! I'm not trying to get to anywhere! I couldn't possibly be, because I don't know where anyplace is. I'm not even sure where here is, but maybe if I go someplace that isn't here I can determine where here is in relation to the new unknown place." He seemed oddly proud of that odd string of what seemed to be some form of logic. Well he supposed now that that had been settled it was time to tackle the next question. "Let's see... What happened... it happened again... Ah yes! There's this thing I do. Well, I'm not entirely certain it's exactly me that does it, but it happens nonetheless. You see, my mind and my body, they don't alway like to sync up. Sometimes one will stop while the other keeps going. Or sometimes, like today, one will wake up and start going before the other. It was my body that woke up first this time. I don't know if that happens with other people. No one has mentioned anything like it, but, then again, I haven't ever asked. I never seem to remember to..."

He looked back towards the sun on the horizon as Bob explained that it was setting rather than rising. "Ah... the two are similar... It seems as if the sunset is the sunrise but in reverse. But if that's true then how does time work? Does it simply begin to reverse at the midpoint of the day until it reaches the midpoint of the night to continue forward? Or maybe it's the other way around, in which case the sunrise would be the sunset in reverse. But don't we continue forward regardless of which way time is going? How do we do that?" His attention snapped back to Bob as he addressed the keytool, recognizing the name as the one he used for himself. "Have... have we met before? I'm sorry, I... I don't remember..."
