"Yeah, always got me some tools, y' know dat," Chance chirped mischeivously as he caught up to Whysp, "Should be good t' go, anytin don't got, gonna crib offa drones round an' about, elsewise improvise. Towreck reckoned on me helpin' y' out wit' job... can figure out mos' typical m'chines an' circuits an' stuff. Done it back on Cybertron, see?"
Quick-stepping to keep up with her, the black and white followed Whysp to the appointed working area.
Aegis regarded the transmissions on the view screen with interest for a few moments. Attuning herself to the various images and audio feeds she began to pick out common threads and structures in the lingual codex of the natives and quickly ran up a very basic cross referencing file, mentally linking common terms with the objects and ideas apparent in the images.
Taking out a datapad and stylus from her subspace compartment she quickly began to transcribe a list of Cybertronian glyphs, pairing these with native phonic equivalents as she perceived them from a news feed on one of the inset screens. Continuing to do this, she answered Wraith calmly:
"I'll need a little while longer to process the raw data, their linguaform is quite different to our own but there are common structures and patterns which I can follow quite easily.This is a current events broadcast for instance, the current topic of discussion seems to be an armed conflict - I don't think it's in this immediate vicinty though, although we evidently need to be aware of their capabilities in that regard."
As she spoke, the image changed to a live broadcast from the frontline of a battle taking place in an altogether different area of the planet. The text at the bottom of the screen referred to 'Karachi, Pakistan'. It showed a number of aerial vehicles surrounding a structure reduced to a smoking ruin. Casualties and fatalities were shown being evacuated from the area into various support vehicles while armoured and armed individuals advanced into the structure to combat the attacking force.
"If we can access any form of data network they might have, I'll get to work on codexing over the next few cycles - I find it easier to work from written communications. Once I have the structure and syntax in hand, I can cross reference and make the translation algorythm available for general use."
