[VIDEO TRANSMISSION: ALPHA TRION'S TEMPLE]

[dinnerdate]

I know most of you here already hate me, those of you that know about my diet even more so.

[He pauses, hesitant for a moment before venting out a sigh.]

I eat power cores. Yes, I'm a cannibal, a vampire, a freak, crazy and whatever else the rest of you call me. Hate the word crazy... I get it, if I don't die from starvation I'll be horribly murdered... Or tortured then murdered - probably that one knowing my luck. I accept that. This is just like back home, not that I expected any different.

So go ahead and say whatever the scrap you want about me, just stop doing it to my face. Please... Not that I expect anyone to listen. Just fragging can't take it anymore. Had enough vorns of this...

[Why is there an Acolyte about? What did he do wrong? THE FIRSTFORGED WANT HIM DEAD. He should have expected this really. Took them and the universe long enough to act on his poor luck. Might as well get this over with. Maybe kill the thing and run. That could work. Maybe.]

Uhh... Can I help you?

[oh! and there he is. the Acolyte emits a quick 'chirp', bowing slightly before it tries to confirm;]

You are Dead End, correct? Nexus Prime has sent me.

I- Yes, I am... What for?

[It's been a while since he actually talked to the Prime, when you figure the guy has better things to do than deal with your issues you don't really expect any kind of follow up. Ever. Unless it's with a bomb. The thing probably had a bomb for him.]

[as much as a faceless drone can seem pleased...it nods, then holds out the bundle]

What you requested of him has been completed. He, in turn, requests you maintain a log of its usage, and any modifications you make.

What?

[He stares for a moment before taking the item, unsure of what is going on. It was completed? His diet issue... it was. Oh.]

I, uh- thank you... A log, yeah I can do that.

[He looks down at the bundle in his hands, unsure of what else he's supposed to say. This can't be real. The Firstforged were too busy to even care about him. Care about him outside of getting rid of him that is. Every time things began returning to something he was used to, the universe would do something completely unusual. This Cybertron was odd. Good things happening instead of bad. Something wasn't right there.]

I don't think I'll be altering it... Thank you.

Very well.

Do you require instructions to its use?

[within that bundle is something that looks like nothing so much as a...well, power core. a dead one, but...maybe it just needs to be powered. somehow.]

I-if you don't mind...

[actionspam] for the record it's like the difference between sugar and sugar substitute 8U

[nexicpolarity]

[the drone doesn't seem to mind, no. its instructions are quick, and simple; the device is designed to have energon feed in to it, then to transform it in to a similar radiation as a power core. not 100% identical, but Nexus seems to believe 'close enough you can't tell'.]

[That doesn't sound too bad. And if Nexus Prime thinks it'll work then he might as well try it. There are easier ways to kill him, he wouldn't go out of his way this much just to do it. Probably.]

Thank you.

[if nothing else, it should be interesting to watch the Acolyte nods, bowing slightly]

If that is all?
