Greetings to my fellow refugees, and I request any First Forged who comes across this to grant me a small bit of time.

I have been considering what I can do to help improve this Cybertron and I have come to the decision that I should return to my origins to do so. In other words I am hoping to start teaching once again. While I taught Mathematics previously I feel that a more general approach may be more beneficial here.

To the First Forged, until a building is constructed to house whoever becomes a student during their time learning, might I use a sizable room in one of your temples to hold these classes?

Unless I am mistaken there are both mechanoids and organics who are in need of various points of learning, I do hope that this will be taken at value for you all. It is my hope to gather some more specialist individuals to cover the basics of each race and hopefully basic field medicine that any of them may need, regardless of difference in race from the helper. That said if there are any medics or individuals of any particular race willing to specialize for this I would be grateful for your assistance.

Ravage, unless I am mistaken you are still in need of some education, if that is correct I hope to see you there.

Until we have a location in a building to use it is my intention to hold open classes not far from the Hub building.

To those who do buildings, if I could request a building for schooling be built once there is time I would greatly appreciate it. It need not be anything overly extravagant, the primary concern being enough room and accommodations for a variety of species to work together in. At this time I don't foresee it needing to be more than one room, but perhaps with the ability to be added on to in the future should the need arise would be a good idea.

Once I know if I have any individuals willing to help share education on the various races, and even universes, that we have present here then I will draft up a class list so that people may know when the classes will be happening.

You ...

...

Were a teacher?

[Oh. He's. Just going to go laugh now.]

[a_father_to_his_men]

I was, while it may not be as resounding a past as some of the others I have heard of other Megatrons I find that I was always well satisfied with my efforts as a teacher.

There's not much I can teach anyone here on Cybertron. Compared to your race my knowledge is very outdated.

But if you need someone to help you set up class schedules and such, then I'll be glad to help!

[a_father_to_his_men]

Ahh, friend, it is not always about the vastness of knowledge shared, or even the time it covers, but that we share it so that others can learn that is most important. But if you do not wish to help teach I will not force such a thing.

I would be glad to have assistance with setting up the class schedules.

...

You talk a lot.

[How astute of you, Sideswipe.]

audio;

[a_father_to_his_men]

When it is needed I do.

[Is that better for you Sideswipe?]

[rungout]

I've never been a teacher myself but if you need any assistance, I'd be more than willing to help.

[The therapist seems to realize that he's never actually communicated with this mech before, a sheepish look appearing.]

My name's Rung, by the way. You're..Megatron, yes?

[Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

I would be more than welcome to any assistance you are willing to offer. Might I ask what you feel you could teach?

[He smiles at Rung, rather happy that despite being recognizable he isn't being avoided for the same reason.]

I am, I am from the same universe as the Soundwave who is here, if you have met him. It is a pleasure to meet you Rung.

[neverputincharge]

Buildin' huh?

Well, aint been in construction since before the war. But I can probably help.

[Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

I would be glad for the help. I am still trying to find out how many individuals might be interested in helping. But I would be happy to contact you once I have a list, if that would be alright.

[sword_redemption]

I, uh, can't teach anything. [Unless there's a need for stabbing?] but I'd like to take some?

[Locked because yeah Drift's a little not entirely proud of his ignorance.]

video/locked

[a_father_to_his_men]

Of course, you are welcome to take what ever you would like. Do you have anything of a particular interest? I am still working out a schedule for what will be taught, but knowing where interests lay would help with this. And I could let you know if we add anything in your interests to the schedule.

[Megatron isn't going to ask about the lock, he sees no reason to shame anyone who is trying to learn.]

[trionicpolarity]

[WHY THIS IS PERFECT.]

I do have some meeting rooms adjacent to my library.

They have the bonus of handy nearby reference books.

[a_father_to_his_men]

That is very generous of you, sir.

I hope we won't be intruding and that you will let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Access to reference books will be invaluable when it comes to teaching about our race. Unless you have some on other races as well, in which case I would like to request the opportunity to read up on what you have so that I might provide better knowledge for those seeking it.

[Teaching? Or indoctrination? There was a fine line between the two, and White was, as always, wary. The refugees woke here with a brand on their arm, after all; Next up, the Firstforged might use this opportunity to encourage blind patriotism and loyalty where it wasn't due.]

I'd be far more interested in independent study, if I might have access to your educational materials.

Re: [Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

I regret I do not have the materials I had back on my home Cybertron, so I lack any to give to you, but I would be happy to spend time allowing you to 'pick my brain' as it were, for whatever information you require.

I am seeking teachers for subjects that I have little to no information on, such as humans or other races that have shown up here, but I would be happy to provide you with dossiers on the subjects after they have been taught if you would like?

[deadlydoctor]

You were a teacher? Not a gladiator? You are a mech full of surprises, Megatron.

[Knock Out would usually lock this, but eh knows now that -his- Megatron isn't here.]

I will teach medicine, and perhaps some other subject, under the condition that ravage doesn't attend that class.

Just jumping in here.

[im_wavin]

Y not??????

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade is busy on formal wear work, so Megatron only gets audio. But at least he's intrigued enough to respond?]

I could never imagine my Megatron as a teacher. [Either of the ones he'd aligned with, for that matter.] ... But I think I c'n see it, with you.

I wouldn't be much of a teacher, myself. More of a 'throw them in a lake to make them learn to swim type'. You mentioned needing folks with ability in construction though?

audio;

[a_father_to_his_men]

I will consider that a complement, since I enjoy being a teacher. [And he is being honest about considering it a complement.]

Perhaps letting people learn on their own can be good, but helping them to know the basics of what they need to know before letting them be is beneficial too. I am looking for those with construction skills, I would like to build a school house that allows for not only mechs of all sizes but organics as well to come and learn, without any of either group being set in a place where they can not see or be seen.

[adamndoctor]

Basic field medicine I can provide. I'm a doctor, actually, but I'm afraid my expertise is limited to humans and a certain amount of alien species I've yet to encounter on this planet. So, ain't really knowledgeable on how you Cybertronians tick. Still learning.

[video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

We have a Cybertronian medic who has volenteered to teach medicine for our kind, but someone who is willing to teach the basics for humans would be greatly valuable.

If you would like to learn more you are welcome to come to the lessons on us.

[im_wavin]

Ooo yeah!!! I didn't finish my education before teh war started!

[a_father_to_his_men]

I though you hadn't, but this will give you the opportunity to finish it now.

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

You were a teacher?

[Okay, somehow maybe that shouldn't surprise him. Still, it does. Not a bad thing, just . . . unexpected. This mech has yet to fail to surprise him in how many ways he's different from his counterpart back home.]

I don't know if there's anything I can help with, but if you need me for anything, sir...

Re: [Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

[He chuckles lightly, it seems most people are surprised by this.]

Yes, I was a teacher.

Is there any way you could teach about your home? I would like to offer everyone a basic understanding of the variety of worlds we all come from.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

I don't have any experience with formal teaching, but I used to be a scientist, back before the war. I'd like to help if I can.

[Video]

[a_father_to_his_men]

Thank you, I have been trying to figure out how I can add to this world in a way that will help everyone.

Science, really? That could be quiet useful, I personally would like to offer more than just the basic education for those who are looking for more, perhaps you could help me there?

[originaldragoon]

Considering how many young ones are here, I think having a school is a brilliant idea.

Though, I do not think I can be of much help unless there is a need to teach swordsmanship.

[a_father_to_his_men]

Young and those who simply lacked access to education, from what I have seen. That was a large influence as to why I decided to start up a school.

I am not much one for war, but I do understand that self protection is necessary, so perhaps some basic classes in swordsmanship might not be a poor idea.

[The face this child is making. Not. Impressed.]

...School?

Ew! Way too boring!

[Video] Tut tut... tardy?

[a_father_to_his_men]

Boring?

May I ask what is fun to you? Maybe we can see if there is something to do about school being boring.
