So many mechs dieing around here. It feels like home. [He sighs wistfully.]

Speaking of dieing- I have a question. I want to know about sparkeaters. Someone mentioned there might be others around here who know about them. I'm very interested.

So... You're basically dead?

I'd be more concerned about the mindless part.

[dirge]

Quite the opposite! I just don't use a spark as my power source.

That's what I meant. It's bad enough I'm incomplete without being completely mindless.

How do you know so much about this stuff anyway?

[dinnerdate]

...What do you use as a power source?

[This all started with eating people, so might as well ask. Could be something tasty.]












It infected me. I don't really want to talk about it.

[dirge]

I already told you- it's a secret.

Infected? You don't seem much like a mindless zombie to me.

[dinnerdate]

But maybe it could help you get spark.



...I have a spark. You don't.

[This is a big thing with dark energon, as far as he knows.]

[dirge]

What? Me telling you the secret?

Wait. So...this stuff'll turn me into a zombie because I don't have a spark? Doesn't seem likely to help me get one, then.

[dinnerdate]

Telling someone. Try a medic.


That's how it works, and why I said to avoid it... Since it's not the reason you don't have a spark.

[dirge]

I guess I could do that. They're supposed to know about sparks and things.

And I still want to know more about this dark energon stuff. I'll ask my First Forged.

[dinnerdate]

Yeah, supposed to be good at it too.

Good idea...
