[The feed snaps on just as Solus Prime folds down her massive hammer in a transformation of it's own, tucking it around to latch onto her back. It is probably for the best; the brief glimpse is enough to catch sight of a massive weapon dotted with a small spattering of energon-gore.
The source of the fluid is largely hidden away, wrapped heavily in a tarp and tucked carefully in the crook of the massive Prime's arm. Only the edge of a brightly colored limb poking past the length of the tarp gives evidence to the dead mech's identity before she speaks up - and even then, it is already fading to gray.]
The one known as Hot Rod was overcome by influence of the darkness. He retained enough will to ask for assistance in ending the situation.
[She nods down at the body briefly, resigned but respectful.]
It was swift.
...If there is anyone who would wish to claim the remains, do speak up. Otherwise, he will be taken care of.

TEXT;
[Video] breaking my heart
I will be here.
[She simply pings him with her location, before closing the video feed.]
no subject
Just ignore this if you're still unsure about handwaving :V
ACTION; if you're good for this
ACTION; WELL I WAS until the retail holiday nation attacked 8[
...I am sorry for your losses. Do what you will with the remains, but if your customs involve entombment or burial, be sure to pay your respects outside of the boundaries of the Haven.
[She gestures down at the wrapped frame, venting a heavy sigh.]
As much as I would spare you the knowledge, the lack of it is simply not safe. Unicron's defilement does not always end with death.
ACTION; it's all good, i understand :C
I should have been there for him.
[But he wasn't. He made a promise to Hot Rod.
Ultra Magnus slowly kneels down, lifting up the body into his arms as he'd done with so many by now. He looks down at the tarp.]
Foolish, I know. You can't hear me, but I am sorry, Hot Rod.
[He looks up to Solus Prime.] ...Thank you. For your advice, and for handling this.
ACTION; <3
I truly wish I could have done more. And from what I have seen, you and your allies did what you could as well. There is no shame in that.
...Obviously I did not know him, but given his final request, I doubt this mech would have wanted a friend to be burdened with doing what I did.
video;
Is there nothing to be done?
[Video]
If there was, we would have done it. There are some things even my skills cannot fix. This taint is one of those things.
[Video]
And why not simply mark them as you claim to have done the rest of us?
[Video]
[Too much. Her optics narrow in anger.]
This was not allowed to occur. Unicron's own taint is beyond our ability to purge.
And if we were responsible for the glyphs themselves, then this would have been easily fixed. But we are not.
[Video]
If you are so concerned with this... Unicron and its taint, why were those of us here made to suffer for your inattention?
[Video]
Your reactions to that would have been markedly worse than this one, I imagine.
[Video]
[Yes, there are air quotes.]
Overall, I observed nothing in the way of support. Until the end, when one of your number suggested the afflicted hand themselves over as experiments.
And I cannot help but say I am utterly unimpressed. I have lab assistants more on the proverbial ball than the lot of you.
[Video]
[The words are hissed, and she hardly needs air quotes to show her own disdain.]
Just because you did not know any one of the afflicted, does not mean others did not. Others that would have seen us as nothing but cruel tyrants had we killed or locked their friends away without allowing them to see for themselves what we already knew.
We told you all the risks. We warned you of the fate that awaited them. You had the right to choose to believe us.
[Free will and all that. Cannot help those who refuse it. Her optics narrow.]
...But of course, the next time there is a crisis I am sure the vast wisdom of your distant lab assistants will aid you more than I shall.
[Because she is quite done with you, sir.]
[video]
I'm glad to hear it was swift.
[video]
As it should be, if it must happen at all.
[Video]
Quite the party you all organized here. Is this Cybertron always this insane? It makes me feel quite at home, actually. [Even if it's not something he enjoys.]
[Video]
If this is your idea of a 'party' I pity you a great deal.
But no, this is hardly the normal status of this world.
[Video]
A small relief. [Knock Out gives her a look that you could have poured on a waffle.]It's nice to meet you, madam.
[Video]
Hardly the best timing for introductions, I am afraid.
[She sighs.]
Keep yourself within the temples, unless you wish to chance running across those afflicted with this current madness. The danger should be past soon enough.
[Video]
I hope we are able to chat more in the future, it would be a pleasure.
[Video]
Likely.
...You should find the medical facilitates for your craft within the central housing area in my temple.
I am sure a number of beings could use it right now, should you so choose to assist.
[She won't make you. But her tone suggests that it Would Not Be A Bad Idea.]
[Video]
[Video]
Do you know what's causing this? I'd think you would, since you have something to do with the glyphs.
[Video]
And that is doubtful. Most of your fellows seem to be...dealing with the majority of the glyphless before they become too strong. Thankfully, the number of unmarked are not too great, but staying within the protection of a temple is advisable for the time being.
[Video]
[Jeeze Albert, your game is lacking.]
I'll do what I can.
[Video]
Do not underestimate them. Size alone is not a proper indicator of their strength.
[You are a perfect example of exactly that.]
[Video]
[video]
[video - locked] Brother you have no tact.
And at least then there is no chance that they might rise again as the mindless undead.
[video - locked] Searching internal reference files... tact.definition not found.
[He illustrates his point by lifting a hand and letting flame spiral over it.]
... and, of course, no shortage of magma.
[video - locked] You need an update, dear.
[Except for her Special ones, of course.]
Besides the honor in it, I'm sure you can appreciate an idle scientific hope that Unicron's taint might burn away with the frame.
[video - locked]
If it were so easy, we might simply cycle the entirety of the Badlands through your forges one shovelful at a time. I think it takes more than flame to cleanse a mech of Unicron's corruption.
[video - locked]
[She smirks lightly, slight humor finally returning.]
Maybe I should drag Prima over and see if he can bless a forge for proper testing.
[She's certain they'd never even be able to see the lava again, for the blessed glow. Completely impractical.]
[video - locked]
I think if you asked Prima to bless your forges you'd never again know peace and quiet in your own workshop.
[Prima: warrior of Primus, honorable leader of the Firstforged, and insufferable nag.]
[video - locked]
I think you may be right! He might never leave.
[Video] I am SOOO sorry for this, he gets so preachy...TT_TT
Is this how your kind always solve their problems? Rampant destruction and murder? If he was under the control of somethin' that effected his mind, how do you know he was able to make the choice? They need help! I'd hoped the telly serials back home were just exageratin' things for children's entertainment. I'm sorry to see I was wrong. Cybertronians really do seem determined to wipe themselves out.
Trust me. That's not something you want to do.
[Video] it is okay! :3
Your presume much.
The least of which being that a cure was even a possibility.
It was not.
