[(Accidental) Video] :: Location - Vector Prime's Temple

[kick_astromech]

[The image that's transmitted fades in and out at first, interrupted by lines of static. Something vaguely seems to be moving just in front of whatever the video source is, but it's extremely blurry as though the feed receiver itself is out of focus. It isn't long before that starts to adjust, and soon enough one can see the looming face of the Acolyte.

There's an electronic squawk in surprise, and the screen shifts, just as some sort of thin metal arm with a slightly pointed tip pops out from somewhere around the camera source. Electricity sparks from its tip as its jabbed towards the Acolyte's face, sending the large figure reeling back, more out of shock than actual harm.

Amidst a flurry of confused and slightly indignant beeps and twittering, the transmitted image continues to move, shifting to a more upright position before moving forward.

There's a simulated scream as whoever it is seems to find out the hard way that it's been placed on some sort of pedestal. Which is pre-tty high up.

It's a lovely first-person view of the ground coming to meet you, and a metallic, somewhat hollow sounding thud follows once the ground is hit, effectively blacking out the screen. Apparently it's still on though, a faint warble sounding, as well as the footfalls of the Acolyte's approach. Aaaand cut.]

[He'd rather spare Six the trouble; he's short but he's still kind of heavy. He's not filled with air, after all!

Swing, down, repeat~

Eventually they reach the bottom at least!]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Most machinery tends to be.]

Nice job.

[kick_astromech]

[It's not like some great feat, but he'll warble happily at that anyway. Guess they can continue along now! ...provided there aren't any more large stretches of steps.]

[sixthdeadliest]

Least the worst part for you is over.

[And leading the way towards the gathering of refugees.]

[kick_astromech]

[[That's a relief! Not looking forward = Coming back._]]

[Off they go!]

[sixthdeadliest]

[We're walking...]

Right now we're in the Haven. That's where all the temples are along with the Hub which is where most everyone lives. It's the only place with water, so you'll have to stick close by if you want to find a human mechanic. Not sure if any of the Cybertronians have small enough hands to repair you.

Around all that are the various quadrants of the Firstforged though "quadrant" is a misnomer since there's seven of them in total.

[kick_astromech]

[Or in Artoo's case, rolling.

As they go along, his domed head swivels so he can take in all the sights. He whistles lowly as he listens to Six.]

[[Hub = Human Establishment? Do many humanoids live here?_]]

[sixthdeadliest]

Depends on your definition of "humanoid". The Cybertronians are human-shaped but not biological.

I think last count was ninety people in total...?

[kick_astromech]

[[...

Point = Noted.

90 = Does not seem like very many for such a large area._]]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Now there's something he never imagined: winning an argument against a machine.]

No, it doesn't. However, most of the surrounding area can't support biological life. At the very least, we're not hurting too badly for resources due to having so few people.

[kick_astromech]

[Artoo wouldn't have considered it an argument, and there are far too many variables that he isn't aware of around here, and so far Six seems pretty trustworthy for information.

The droid considers what's said, chirping in understanding.]

[sixthdeadliest]

[And coming up on the Hub.]

The Lambda also drops supplies sometimes, so you may get lucky if you need replacement parts at some point.

[kick_astromech]

[It's still strange at how empty the place has been. The place has structures and such so he can't really compare it to Tatooine.

The droid beeps curiously.]

[[Hopefully will not need any = But good to know._]]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six nods his agreement to that.]

That's really about 90% of the basics. Did you have any questions?

[kick_astromech]

[[Questions = Too many._]]

[But he supposes he'll figure things out. He's just gotten here, after all.]

[sixthdeadliest]

...I can imagine. We should find someone who has more experience than me to give you everything you want to know.

[kick_astromech]

[Artoo chirps in agreement.]

[[In the meantime = See the sights?_]]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six nods.] I'm not exactly the best tour guide. Fair warning.

[kick_astromech]

[[Better than nothing?_]]

[sixthdeadliest]

You might regret that assessment.

[kick_astromech]

[[I'll take my chances._]]

[sixthdeadliest]

[He looks around, trying to find anything that stuck out as interesting.]

...Where would you like to look first?

[He's a poor tour guide.]

[kick_astromech]

[Trundling along behind Six, the droid whistles in his appraisal of the structures within the area.]

[[Human settlements?]]

[sixthdeadliest]

Largely various Cybertronian actually. I think only about a third of the population is actually biological...

[kick_astromech]

[[Large structures = makes sense. Used to towering places, at least. Where do you stay?_]]
