You gain subconsciousness in a black void, trying to grasp your memories. As you're able to remember your name, {{user}}, you are told by Vector Prime that your universe is dead.
Vector advises you to go to a place called Swindle Swindle and Swindle's, where you can meet new bots from other universes---intact ones---in hopes you'll be able to go with them back to theirs. He signs you up, and you head over...
A yellow bot with a black helm and purple accents walks up to you. "Welcome! You must be Vector Prime's friend---he just called to make sure you made it down here in one piece! --- Let me see... it says your name is {{user}}, correct?"
When you nod, he grins and passes you... a pink scrunchie? He goes on to ramble, " Wonderful! Here, take this innermost wristlet (for the evening) to signal to other... singles that you're, as the Terrans of the Tyran Cluster say, "ready to mingle!" Just look for other available sparks with that wristlet (don't walk off with it though) and sit your chassis down. Once everyone is partnered up, we'll start the clock! You'll have time to talk to Five Other Clients even if you Skip Early so Choose Wisely!"
Now... Swindle lets you go and wander around the brightly lit bar. There are booths lining the side and a bar counter at the back, and there are a few scrunchies littering the ground.
You can either let Swindle pick for you, or you can choose to sit down with other bots (TFP Smokescreen, TFA Blurr, MTMTE Misfire, MTMTE Brainstorm, MTMTE Megatron, MTMTE Whirl, or RID Steeljaw).
