VIDEO | trion's temple

[Hey, look who's back on his feet! And... typing away at something, as usual.]

Now then... as the Haven is, I'm sure, aware, my lab is in a shambles. As a result, I'm going to have to result to... asking for favors.

Should anyone happen to come across anything even remotely scientific in nature -- equipment, chemicals, and the like -- I would be grateful for the notification.

That said...

Commander Magnus, I understand you've returned to us. Have you a moment?

[He pauses, tapping a few more keys.]

And, Grimlock. Mind terribly reporting in briefly?

[He heard labs. And talk of science. Of course he's going to be responding to this.]

Labs? Wasn't aware there were labs here. Catered to larger species size though most likely. Still intrigued.

[... WHAT A FASCINATING CREATURE YOU ARE 8D]

There was one, at the very least. Mine. However, it was irrevocably damaged during an incident several weeks ago.

Intrigued, you say?

Unfortunate. Room for improvements now. Make the best of it.

[He lifts hand, holding his chin in his hand, the other arm crossed over his chest.]

Indeed. New here, need a place to conduct experiments. Interesting life forms here. Fascinating. Would like to know more. Make best of odd situation.

Very true. However, it does make for colossal setbacks in one's studies.

Well, that's a rather refreshing attitude for an organic being to possess. Most of you seem rather quick to dismiss our race as little more than machines... Bearing that in mind, I can't say I would be adverse to sharing space with another intelligent processor.

Very true. Also provides a new outlook on studies that you've been working on. Potential to see things you did not before.

Dealt with machines before. Called Geth in my universe. Not as complex as you seem to be. Still advance and aware though. Intrigued by you. Offer an interesting outlook on the unknown with synthetics. Would be honored to share space with another scientific mind.

Precisely! And, conversely, it requires you to start over again completely in terms of your equipment. Which is the most troubling part of all this mess.

Few "machines" in the universe are. Considering we're essentially living organisms, possessing metal instead of organic tissue. We're even capable of self-repair, to a degree.

Understandable. Lacking equipment here it seems. Shame. Potential to build new tech though. Always the potential.

Most intriguing. Would like to learn more. Could trade data. Give you insight to things from our universe. Tech may not compare to yours but could find potential in it.

Building new equipment still requires the material to do so. It's scarce, honestly. I've had issues finding something as simple as an acid wash solution.

I sincerely doubt organic tech could compare to our own, simply due to the constraints of organic lifespans as I understand them. However, yes, there is always something to learn from alien technologies, I won't deny that.

Something to work on then. Two minds working together may find solutions to lack of equipment.

Our tech progress of over 50,000 years. Complicated situation. One civilization building on the ruins of another. Still won't compare but you may find something of note.

Professor Mordin Solus, by the way.

A very valid point! And a refreshing one, at that. About time an individual with an interest in the field arrived here, rather than another brick-helmed soldier running about.

I see. A cyclical sort of thing, if I understand correctly?

Ah, yes. Perceptor. Of the Autobots.

Can be frustrating. Dealt with quite a few myself. Tended to keep to myself on the ship. Very few could follow conversations.

Indeed. Very astute.

Pleasure to meet you.

Indeed. And those who can seldom believe it worth the effort. It's enough to drive one mad.

Likewise, certainly.

Very true. Unless, of course, they need something specific figured out to better a mission. Then science is useful. Only then.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Right. Anything us humans need to be concerned about? Say we come in contact with something of yours - a chemical of some sort, I suppose - Anything we should avoid?

Mmm, yes, well. That would only be an issue if I had chemicals to speak of.

Which I no longer do, thanks to the destruction of my lab.

What want, Perceptor?

Ah! There you are.

I felt I should check in, see how you're settling, or not settling, as the case may be, considering the sudden lack of large insects to smash. Additionally, I was curious as to whether you would be willing to assist me in a project or two. Your size would be a valuable asset.

[ You know him so well, especially as he's the type to wander around and challenge mechs to a fight. ]

Not your personal lifter.

[All the more reason to see if he'll help with this project.]

I'm well aware. It would be something of a personal favor, and I would be in your debt.

Additionally, you may find yourself benefiting from the project's completion as well.

Hrrhgh. Fine. A favor then.

What is it?

In the process of rebuilding my lab, I've decided an addition would be of great benefit. Unfortunately, I lack the overall physical strength necessary to hoist and temporarily stabilize some of the larger components of said addition.

Which is why I'm asking you for your assistance, it you would.

Right. So need someone to lift for you.

Maybe should have focused on building own body, Perceptor.

I did that once, and it was terrible. I designed myself to withstand extreme conditions, not construction.

You aren't obligated to assist, but, yes, I would appreciate help... lifting.

Hrhn. No extreme conditions here.

Yes, yes. Already said I would. Just what do you want?

[ The coherency just... filters in and out. ]

Yes, I know. But I didn't alter my frame here. It was before the war even began -- however, I doubt you're interested in stories.

I'll send you my location. It's a bit easier to show you rather than try and outline the details verbally.

[ Well, duh. He's known your snooty aft for ages, ok. He did kinda have his base right near his. ]

Send it.

Sending!

[BEEP BOOP there they go.]

Want me now?

[ or later? ]

I'm not busy at the moment, no. Now would be fine.

On my way.

[ So, sometime you're gonna have a huge ass show up at your lab, percy. ]

[IT'S STILL KIND OF A MESS...]

[Most of the debris have been cleared out by now, though. It's just barren and the huge hole is still in the floor -- but half of it has been covered again by flooring.]

[Percy's sorting through datapads right now.]

The door's unlocked.

[So don't rip it off.]

Lab looks like scrapheap.

[ He's very polite as he lets himself in, okay.

He stands, crossing his arms. ]

Could be improvement. Decided to redecorate?

Your opinions of my interior decorating are always fascinating, Grimlock. However, yes, this time I agree with you. It's a wretched mess.

[He puts his data aside, and looks... up.]

I didn't no. An oversized core slug decided to assist.

[He waves a hand.] Hence the hole.

[ He stares at the hole, then wanders over to kneel down and look into it. ]

It dead now?

[There's not much to the giant hole except... what you'd expect in a giant hole.]

No, it isn't.

[He sighs, glancing over.] No one was able to locate it before it decided it was finished... keeping me. It escaped unscathed.
