[A lot of really strange things have been happening to Nick lately, but he can safely say that somehow getting kidnapped on the walk from his aunt's trailer to his car, without actually seeing anyone or even being aware that he'd been knocked unconscious, was pretty much the last thing he was expecting.
So, of course, it's what apparently happened. At this point, Nick's pretty sure he should just stop not expecting things. As soon as he doesn't expect something, that's when it's going to happen.
He takes a quick stock of the situation - not exactly liking the look of the cell he's ended up in, but at least, for some reason, whoever captured him didn't take the duffelbag full of weapons he'd had with him. A peek in the bag says they're all there, along with his both his Glocks. And a try of the doorknob, which'd been half-hearted at best, because he really hadn't expected it to open, proves to be successful.
See? Never expect things.
His cellphone isn't getting any reception, so Nick shoulders his duffelbag and pulls his gun out from its holster before ducking out into the hallway. If he can manage to sneak his way to a place that gets reception, he can call for Monroe or Hank. Or, better yet, maybe he can just find a way out of here.]
[So, uh, nonhumans, let me know if you don't want Nick to be able to tell that your character isn't human? And also feel free to have any nonhumans be able to sense something strange or dangerous/predatory about Nick!]

Precisely so... The only evidence for anything I've seen so far is that alternate and multiple realities exist... And the fact that a few here have supposedly been in a place before they came here where their worlds were supposedly destroyed as well... does not lend strength to Deior's claim.
[Jetfire nods, managing to keep his amused expression internal.]
Indeed there is. There's me, then Starscream, Ironhide and Ratchet.
[He nods slowly at the explanation, cocking his helm in thought.]
I know the type of story you mean, but no, not familiar with those. I spent a mere... two days, if that, aware and mobile on Earth before coming here and I was... busy, for that length of time. Starscream might know them...
[He shrugs a bit and refocuses on Nick.]

[Nick won't be buying this any time soon. There's way too many holes in it. And he manages to mostly hide his curiosity about the fact that there's apparently four alien robots here.]
Four more aliens than I've ever met before.
[He blinks, because really, only two days on Earth before getting captured here? That pretty much sucks.]
...yeah, that's definitely not a great introduction to Earth. Usually there's a lot less mysterious kidnappings like this involved.
If he does know them, though, you should ask him to tell you them. They're actually pretty interesting.

While it might be hypothetically possible to travel to an infinite amount of places withina very short time, every act of moving from one dimension to another would take time, and no matter how they're interconnected - or not - even with an infinitesmal timelapse at each jump... every astrosecond would could, which would become seconds, and the message says everything "has been" destroyed.
Not is being, and if it's in the past, then further individuals shouldn't keep appearing here.
[Technically, he'd spent a few thousand years on Earth. Just... frozen. But yes, only two days actually waliking around and aware.]
I doubt this is Earth, truly, since, by magic or technology-generated forcefield, the sky is capped by an invisible ceiling, and there is no sun in what we see of the sky...
[Jetfire chuckled a bit, shaking his helm.]
I'll ask, but even if he does know them, he might deny it... I'm not sure how much he wants to admit to knowing human culture.
