When I came here I was a little scratched up, but all the injuries are gone. What kind of medical treatment are they giving us?

Also, why bother? I was hurt, but it wouldn't have been a problem. It's different for my fr It's not like I was half-dead; just a little burned and bruised, that's all.

I don't know that much about people, but I have a gut feeling that you should try any story which doesn't involve being a alien space robot.

That said, if you're telling the truth, I guess that means there is intelligent life out there. My Colonel was right.

You sound like a human soldier-type, do you think I could get away with being one? I think I'm technically a lieutenant, although we kind of scrapped the rank system after we ran low on high command. And does Scourge sound humanish enough?

Too much, if you ask me. Humans are all right, but some of the species can blow right off. Especially the ones with tentacles.

I can't imagine even an alien space robot soldier being different to a human one. It's painful to think war isn't solely a human instinct.

In my experience, it's not important for a soldier to have a human name. Scourge will do fine.

Are you the only alien here? Are there any others?

Personally I don't care for it much either, but I don't have a choice in the matter. It's either go be shot at or...well, be shot. And my commander's got a pretty big gun. Who's making you fight?

At least four of the robot variety and a couple others I didn't catch the names of. And some guy who's either named Zex or is really popular around here.

Right now, no-one is. I was going to start a new life - a real one. Under no-one's control, and on my own, for myself. Then this place made me a prisoner again, but at least it's not the battlefield I know.

Huh. I guess that works, for a human. I wouldn't exactly have anywhere to go if I left, no one wants to take in a guy on Galvatron's hit list and I've already been there once.

Though come to think of it, this is probably the one place I could stop fighting and do my own thing. Nobody here with a -tron to tell me not to!
