[He paused to rack the incomplete folder containing earth species and could not find an exact match to what the creature was.]
“A feline? But not one I recognize. And too small to be a smilodon. Records state those went extinct long ago.”

[His torque system onlined with a low mechanical hum, giving a few reboot sequence rotations before spinning at an RPM that made the flute lines blur. With a sharp upward launch, gravity then drove him downward to sharply pierce into the earth with a loud rumble.]

“Yeah! I’ll admit I’m still a bit shocked you of all mechs responded. But I’m glad I kept your commlink even after all this time. I just checked, you’ll probably arrive a bit before me since I’m drilling in new territory. My comms will likely go down while I travel, so I’ll see you there.”

[Upon receiving the new coordinates, his systems ran quick calculations and an internal marker illuminated in the corner of his visual feed. It would take him further south by a couple hundred miles. A comparatively short distance from his usual excavation routes.]

Some time has passed, and the wilderness he was ambling in seemed endless. With a sigh, he checked his comms and saw that no one had received his signal. This made him certain that his frame sustained some damage while tunneling and required maintenance. That left a local broadcast, which would

With a population of over 8 billion, he’d run across civilization soon enough so he could attempt to tap into their network. Hopefully someone would respond to his comms before then, however.
