[Thundercracker's in some portion of the Junkpile.  He holds up a long, slim package - silver wrapping with a blue bow and a tag.  Resting across the palm of the 20-plus-foot-tall Seeker, it looks kind of like someone might have gift-wrapped a pair of chopsticks.]

Does anyone know who Saber is?  I think this is his.

[Oops, wrong gender?  No doubt he'll learn soon enough.]

[ Saber pauses heavily, as if debating whether or not she wants to tell the man. It's not that she minds sharing, it's the difficulty of sharing the story. ]

I was human until fourteen, when chosen by the sword in the stone. I then became king. Then I was Protected by the Fairies and was gifted Excalibur and Avalon. And when I died, I became a Heroic Spirit. During my entire life, I've never been quite human.

[He has no idea what a “fay-reez” is, and if he knew more about human gender roles, he’d question why an “obviously female” would be called king instead of queen, but frankly, the binary nature of organics is kind beyond him. He can see her reluctance, though, and it’s . . . not really his business, so he won’t really question too much.]

[Just the point that does stick out to him.]

You . . . died? But you’re alive now . . . ?

[pendragon]

Ah, yes. I was summoned by the Holy Grail to participate in its war. Twice. I don't think I am here for the same reason, but my.. existence feels as if I was summoned.

[ That part is relatively easy to explain, so she doesn't mind sharing that. Tilting her head, she looks at Thundercracker for a moment before speaking again. ]

Death is, indeed, usually final. I assume from your reaction that it is also uncommon to return from death for Cybertronians?
