[VIDEO] Welcome Back?

[gunfondlingbattlestat]

[He's been here before. At least, that is what the Acolyte that greeted his arrival informed him, warning him that some of the "other refugees" might assume some level of familiarity with him. Past friendships forged, previous alliances made, beings encountered...]

[Perceptor remembers none of it.]

[His expression as he regards the Link is calm and inscrutable, though, despite how unsettling it is to find that his memories, if they were even his own memories, are... altered. Or missing. Or incomplete. Something.]

Do I have a laboratory here?

[Why beat around the bush, as Verity would have said. Well, she might have added a few... choice terms, perhaps, but, still. The sentiment remains.]

Ah.

[Smokescreen remind Perceptor more of his own Bluestreak than of Smokescreen. Curious.]

Your Optimus left?

[Smokescreen's expression faltered just a bit, doorwings drooping.]

....No...he....



He was going crazy, like the others that arrived without glyphs..and we had to put him down. He asked us too.

[gunfondlingbattlestat]

...oh.

[Smooth, Perceptor. Perhaps you should ask to borrow Drift's sword, so that you can twist it in the wound you just made in the young-sounding mech?]

Without glyphs?

[He glanced at his own glyph on his shoulder.]

Could you tell me about that? These ones without glyphs?

[Hey, don't feel bad, Perceptor. He's got to learn to get over it at some point in time.]

Yeah, sure. They..well, whenever someone new shows up, they usually have a glyph--

[He motions to his own glyph, which is a little more prominent than Perceptor's own is.]

Awhile ago, a bunch of new arrivals showed up but instead of arriving in their Firstforged's temple like we all usually do, they were in the junk pile and they didn't have glyphs. They..eventually started to go crazy..

[Perceptor glances toward his own glyph. He'd been rather irritated to find it upon himself when he'd awoken, but it seems that it's much more vital than mere claiming-graffiti.]

All of them?

[video]

[shutupndrive]

[The rookie nods, doorwings twitching a bit.]

Yeah..all of them. We...the rest of us here in Haven...we had to put them done. Some asked for us to do it before they lost themselves and others...

[gunfondlingbattlestat]

I am sorry. That must have been... difficult.

Thank you for the information, though, Smokescreen. I will be certain to look for glyphs.

Re: [video]

[shutupndrive]

It's alright.

And you're welcome. If you see anyone without a glyph, let someone know right away alright?

[gunfondlingbattlestat]

I shall. And if you require any assistance, please don't hesitate to call me.
