How long has it been since we had to do this?

Too long.

We haven’t had correspondence like this in a very long time.

No wonder we don’t remember how it’s done.

Okay, so we put the antenna here, right?

And then crank on this knob.

It’s going to take a while for it to warm up.

What are we going to say to him?

Do we even know it’s a him?

It could be a girl lizard.

That would explain a lot.

Okay, the coils are getting warm.

Somebody give Prime the microphone.

GREETINGS TO THE LIZARD MASTER OF VESSEL DESIGNATION FLAMBERGE. THIS IS THE PRIME SPEAKING, COMMANDER OF THE MULTITUDES IN CHARGE OF VESSEL ANNAPERENNAEPSILONOMNICREX, KNOWN BY THE FLESH BOUND AS “ANNA DANIELS”.

Is this thing even his master?

Well, he did keep calling his vessel a dog.

So it makes sense to call him a master.

And since this is the PRIMEverse, shouldn’t it technically be wax bound?

Does the lizard know that?

I don’t think he cares.

Put that cigarette out, Firebug.

THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME CONFIRMING YOUR MESSAGE. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE DELAY. OUR INSTRUMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN USED IN A VERY LONG TIME 

WE HOPE YOU ARE WELL.

Do we really hope they’re well?

…OKAY, MOST OF US HOPE YOU ARE WELL. SOME ARE MUCH MORE FOCUSED ON HITTING PEOPLE THAN MAINTAINING ANY TYPE OF DIPLOMACY AMONGST OTHERS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND.

OUR TRIP IS GOING WELL. WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS VESSEL FOR A LONG TIME. IT ISN’T ALWAYS EASY. BUT IT’S MUCH BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE. THE VOID IS A HORRIBLE PLACE TO BE.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, OUR FAVORITE PART VARIES BETWEEN ALL OF US. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE TAKING OF HUMAN MONEY AND THE ABILITY OF BEING WHATEVER WE WISH WITH THE SNAP OF OUR FINGERS. THOUGH GETTING AWAY WITH A LOT OF NONSENSE IS QUITE FUN.

Dare we say we’re a chameleon or would that be offensive?

Prime, the vessel is waking up.

SEND CONFIRMATION IF YOU HEARD ANY OF THIS.

GOOD LUCK, VOICE.
