[Haven, you know what? You look like you could really use one of Drift's wackadoodle theories right now. ]

The First Forged aren't telling us everything.

[Drift does not mince words. Bad guys, yes. Words, not so much.]

There were other settlers here before us. Over and over again. They died. We're not the first. We're not special or chosen. [And part of him hates that thought.]

And the First Forged couldn't--or didn't--protect them. [This is all review for the old-timers, but there are new people here, and besides, it's a dot he's trying to connect up.]

Wing and I and the others found a cave where some of them had lived. They died. All of them. But they're trapped here, as ghosts. [Another dot.]

And worse--we went back, and their bodies were...reanimated. Like zombies. They attacked us. They were trying to protect something in the cave.

[He frowns, because he really doesn't like public speaking, especially this next part.]

A lot of people disappeared recently. Like whatever it is--the call, Unicron, whatever--like it's gaining strength, picking up steam. We need to do something. Because I don't know about you, but, well, for a lot of reasons, I don't want to have to suddenly find myself fighting a zombie Ultra Magnus.

[Or Vandal. No, he can't even go there in his head. He's connecting dots and it is a really unpleasant picture.]

Yeah, kinda. Megagtron used stuff called Dark Energon to do it, which came from Unicron. Tried ta raise an entire army of them with it and nearly managed it.

The stuff ain't all that good around bots that are alive either, but it won't turn ya into a zombie.

Turning the living into zombies would be a lot better than what it actually does.

Depends on the bot really... but nothing nice.

Kill them? You can't cure them... Not that anyone ever really wants to cure bots like me and the others. Could always slice them apart then smelt them just to be sure I guess...

...Why would they?

It doesn't matter what I want... I ask for help and I'll get turned into some science experiment.
dinnerdate: (ooohhh that's what you meant)

[personal profile] dinnerdate 2013-05-19 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Autobot?

[This is important.]
dinnerdate: (ooohhh that's what you meant)

[personal profile] dinnerdate 2013-05-19 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
How... Why aren't you dead?

[He doesn't mean to change the subject but he's never heard of anyone leaving the 'Cons and living.]

Oh... That must be nice. Not have needed to worry when it happened.

Uh, it's got a different energy signal, then regular Energon. But it...can only be tracked if it's bein' used. At least from our experience.

Other than that, you just gotta look for the purple glow that it lets off.
