Blues answers a question about altruism

[Finitevus the Echidna (inverse_chaos@livejournal.com)]
Suddenly, a dimensional portal opens, encircled in a golden ring. Finitevus the Echidna, the Dark Legion's ex-medical doctor, stumbles backward through, as if on the receiving end of a punch to the face. The warp ring magically shrinks back down to size and falls to the ground, completely inert, with a metallic "thunk".

"That was convenient," he says with a sigh, clasping his bandaged hands together. He takes a moment to gather himself before finally asking:

"Would you willingly sacrifice your life for someone else?"

If not, can I eat your recyclables?

[Morph Moth (hungry_moth@livejournal.com)]
Here's a moth-bot, sitting on a Nexus Endtable - the wings get in the way a bit with couches and chairs. He has a cardboard box of stuff he's snacking on, but unless you're an Insecticon you probably wouldn't want to share. The 'snack' consists of mixed styrofoam packing peanuts, puffs of polyester stuffing, and shredded plastic.

And he does have a question, once he's finished a bite to ask. "Do you recycle? Why or why not?"
